  1. Pt 2 from yesterday(1st as usual):

    Sprints felt good this morning. Good opportunity to work on Pose. Some minor shin soreness, but I think this is residual from DU work. Row Z1 vice run - 3889m - nice and easy. Average HR ~ 118. This was a better fel than running for me (due to experience).

  4. Btw: started reading the Paleo Solution last night. I'm about half way through it and while nutrition, particularly Paleo, seems to be an issue I've been completely oversaturated by in the last year or so, Robb brings a completely different angle to the topic. It's funny, informative and if you enjoy his blog posts and his contributions to the Performance Menu, check this book out immediately.

  5. Working backwards here. Mashup between yesterdays WOD. Need to get back on track soon.

    A. snatches from yesterday: 2x(2x50kg, 2x52.5kg, 1x57.5kg, 1x60kg)
    B. Snatch pull from yesterday: 2x80kg, 2x80kg
    C. 2x3 Snatch balance@60%: 50kg
    D. 3 rounds not for time 10 pistols, 20 DU, 10 TTB

    Snatches was awkward today and ended up a little too much forward of me, but settled in on second round. Snatch balances felt great. Hard to imagine I had trouble with this excercise before.

    Some easy skill work thrown in at the end.

  7. Coach, how do you feel about doing some 10-15 minute Z1 runs after training 2 or so days a week? I just feel like I need to improve my running and think this may be a way to do it? Thanks!

    Pretty fresh legs and the running took care of the soreness that was left. Have never felt so fluid in the snatch and snatch balance and also the pistols came out nice! Harder on my right leg, still at bit stiff in "extreme" flexion since injury this summer, but it´s still a major breakthrough! Will come up with some more skillwork on thursday, one of the events on saturday are "Skills" whatever that is ;)

    Hamstrings cramped again during warm-up. Did mobility work for 30 min. and got through the WOD. The rest of my body feels great, it's just severe cramping in my hamstrings that's making the oly lifting and any squatting brutal.

    Going to continue to roll and stretch. Really hoping this subsides by Sat. I've put too much work in to mess it up now.

    Notes: All movements felt pretty strong today. A little lingering soreness in my quads but should be gone by the end of the day.

    For the snatch balance I did all sets at about 50% of my 1RM to work speed under the bar, solid squat landing with full lockout and active shoulders.

    light 1km run, stretching, and rolling to loosen everything up post WOD.

    First set in A squat clean,push jerk. Second set power clean, split jerk.
    First time using oly shoes for snatch balance. Way more solid!!

    soreness in glutes and hames gone. Calfs feel good too. Knees are a little sore, probably from deceleration on the sprints, should have given myself more room to slow down.

    Angelo,
    To get faster at running you must practice the skill ,fresh. Running for 15 minutes at a sluggish pace is just going to make you more inefficient unless your turning over ya hoofs at a clip above 90(180 on both feet a minute). My advice would be to lock into CFE and check out the drills and implement them into every warmup or a standalone session
    Do it right...then do it faster.. then do it longer.
    Just my 2 cents.

  25. Dammmmm thought I had a mint condition Ardyne cycle off kiji for $65 bucks, but just found out it was sold for asking price before I arranged my pick up.

    Fess Up, which Big Dawg in Edmonton, snaked me to it? Cause if so I'm coming to your home to use it next time it is rx'd.

    Everything felt pretty good today. Clean and jerks were all power cleans, with split jerks. Landing a little awkward on some, but better on most.

    Clean pull felt fine.

    Snatch balances were much better today.

    Afterward I tried doing some OHS with my hands a little narrower then I normally do and it went pretty good. Really hope I can keep them in this close in upcoming workouts because there's a lot less stress on my wrists this way.

  31. Pt 1 from yesterday:

    PM: (all #)
    A: 86/93/100/106.5 (based on max SN @ 133#)
    B: 165 across
    C: 285 (based on LBBS 1RM 315#) - this felt heavy today. I need to squat heavy more often.

    Rip had a nice PSN vid on his sight that helped my with my arm cue (rotate the humerus inward) - of course it made the bar damn near leap up, causing some unsteadiness at the catch at first, but I worked it out. Be nice to see if this resolves my elbow issues.

  46. Been super behind in my posting but for the most part, still doing the work on the posted days. Here we go...

    Friday, 9/17
    Blend from 9/16 & 9/17
    Part 1:
    A. Power Snatch – 2 x 4 sets – 75-80%; rest 3 min
    85lbs for all sets

    B. Power Clean + Power Jerk – 1.1 x 4 sets; rest 3 min
    125lbs, 135lbs (slight bend in arms), 135lbs (solid), 145lbs (f))

    C. 20 unbroken chin ups; rest 2 min x 6
    (scaled to 15 UB) Sets 1-5 UB, Set 6 was 13+2

    Part 2:
    Sprint Row 35 sec @ 95-100%
    Rest 2:25 x 3
    rest 6 min
    Sprint Row 35 sec @ 95-100%
    Rest 2:25 x 3
    (record avg watts/rd)

    1. 374.7 (179m)
    2. 374.3 (179m)
    3. 350.3 (175m)
    4. 327.4 (171m)
    5. 326.3 (171m)
    6. 273.3 (161m)

    It took 1 year, 5 months and 20 days but Pukie finally got me. It was gross.

    Saturday, 9/18
    GHD SUs – 30
    BS – 24
    DUs – 156
    MUs – zero

    Disappointing day. Have been so consistent on my MUs, even post-WOD. After having some time to reflect that evening, I was most disappointed in the break in my focus. A few misses into the 10mins of MUs and I was mentally defeated. I got frustrated and looking back, I already had it in my head that I wasn’t going to get on top of the rings. Next time, stay focused.

    Monday, 9/20
    A. (72lbsx2, 77lbsx2, 83lbsx1, 88lbsx1)x2
    B. 135lbs, 150lbs
    C. 221lbs
    (rested ~10 minutes)
    Sprints felt good
    +
    2 mile jog

    Body felt so sore from Friday and Saturday that I considered not coming in. The work looked light enough that I decided to come in and get the blood pumping anyways and glad I did. Felt much looser after the workout then before. Now if only these squatting legs could run…

    Tuesday, 9/21
    OPT
    A. 98lbs, 105lbs, 113lbs, 120lbs (squat clean + split jerk)
    B. 155lbs, 170lbs
    C. 66lbs for all sets

    Body still feels sore from this weekend. Squat cleans were not smooth and most were power cleans + squat. Really focused on split jerk to get comfortable with the feet placement and stability. I still tend to find myself catching the bar forward of the frontal plane.

    Then rolled out with my new foam roller while watching Glee! :D

    Squat Cleans for all, felt good. Legs are finally getting back to normal. Jerks didn't feel great.

    For those that are in the Charlotte area and are planning to come this Sunday for the Big Dawg Comp, shoot me an email so I can keep you posted on the schedule for that day.
