test on saturday
Coach, if we dont have chains how should we achieve the same stimulus, lighter weight and focus on speed, less reps, ect? Thanks
ReplyDeleteWould Box Squats be good? Trying to focus on speed on the way up?
ReplyDeleteA1: 80kg, no chains
ReplyDeleteA2: 54 kg
B: 80 kg
C1, C2, C3: All UB
knee getting better so nearly there again!
Soren
joey, nothing is the same stimulus but bands are a good sub if you can do it
ReplyDeletemichael, no, but a full squat from high bar @ lower loads and faster concentric will be a good idea if no implements available
as with bands or chains the end range of the concentric becomes more "challenging" and requires a nice stimulus for movement of the weight which carries over nicely in this case to opening hips more appropriately for power snatch which is what the exericse is for...not to lift heavier loads on the back squat
A1. 225# + 32.5# chains, 235 + 65, 255 + 65, 260 + 65.
ReplyDeleteA2. 115#, 135, 145, 160 (slight press on 3rd), 165x2
B. 240 all sets
C's all unbroken
Notes: Misread wod, did 5 reps for first 3 sets then 3 reps last 2 on A1 and A2. Snatch seemed a little heavy today, was able to do 165x3 on a test day about a month back pretty easilly. 160# felt heavy today.
Thanks coach!
ReplyDeleteOne last question for anyone, I read the reps for A1, A2 as 3 sets of 5 reps, is that correct? Thanks
m.28.6'4''.225lbs
ReplyDeleteYesterday, did 4 sets of Part II from Tuesday:
CJ:10,11,11,10
BJ:21,18,19,17
KBS:12,13,13,13
Burpees:9,9,8,9
Very tough. Not sure how rounds 5+6would've gone, but cut short b/c of time and b.c it was supposed to be a rest day.
Today: tried to do a hybrid. I read A1 and A2 as 5 sets of 3, so I did 3 sets of 3 instead and then the rest of Part I as rx'd. Also, I didn't have any bands or chains, so I did it with lower weight and tried to up the speed on the way up.
A1. 275, 285, 295
A2. 176. 176, 186 (F on #3)
B. 235 for all three
C1, C2, C3--UB; slow on CTB, but UB
Rest 6 mins
Part II--six sets
HPC-186, 198, 208, 220, 220, 230
Row--18 secs for all but fourth set, which was 19 secs.
Notes: Felt pretty good overall, except I still fall into an old bad habit of landing really wide when weight gets heavy in clean and snatch. Any advice would be appreciated.
1 set situp, 1 set back extension, 3 sets CTB? Am I reading that correctly?
ReplyDeleteA1. (w/40lb of chains)245,265,285,315,320x4

B. 255x3x3
C's unbrokenx3
screwed up the set and reps on the A's.
Joey- i'd say 5sets of 3reps.
Sean- 3sets of C1+C2+C3
ReplyDeleteSo now I have to throw out my Bosu ball?!?!
ReplyDeletejoey, that's 3 reps per set for 5 sets of each of A1/A2, i should've been more specific
ReplyDeletefor last 3 , they are c1,c2,c3, rest x 3
Not to beat a dead horse here, but I have lots of chain and I think I can't beat any price out there. When Coach recommended chain, I found a great deal on a 200' roll of 1/2" link galvanized. Shipping is the obvious cost but I should be able to make it worth while.
ReplyDeleteMy wife is tired of having this much chain piled in the garage!
Shoot me an email if you want to see some pics. pcklein@yahoo.com
Looking at the numbers on the chain I have, I can sell one set for $50 + shipping. One set is aprrox. 50 lbs (25lbs/ side) and would cost about $20-25 shipping in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteInteresting abstract re - deadlift however they only measured paraspinal activity that does not give even close to the entire picture of what is active during the deadlift - in fact should they not have measured glut or hamstrings instead? Plus what about core stabilizers is that not the supposed purpose of using a bosu to enlist more core activity during an exercise - they did not measure any of that so I am not so sure there conclusion is really very valid - just my 2 cents
ReplyDeleteAlso is there a specific way the chains are supposed to be put on the bar, is there a video or something describing this??
A1. Used med bands: 255, 275, 285, 295, 305x2
ReplyDeleteA2. 165, 175, 185; 195, 205x3
B. 285, 305, 325x2
C1, C2, C3: all complete
A1. 315x3, 275x3 x 4 sets
ReplyDeleteA2. 135x3 all sets
B. 260x3 all sets
C1/C2/C3 - Done all UB.
Lower back has been an issue lately, but felt better this morning, so I started heavier on the back squats. After the first set, I had to drop it back down.
Also I took no rest b/t back squat and the power snatch to save some time.
Finally went to a chiropractor today and had some acupuncture done and some other things, hope this gets things back to normal.
Only time for part 1 today:
ReplyDeleteA1. with 32kg chains (16kg a side): 70kg, 80kg, 90kg, 90kg, 90kg
A2. 50kg, 55kg, 60kg, 1x62.5kg, 60kg
B. 80kg, 85kg, 85kg
No pullups on C, but the rest I did. First time with chains. Fun. I think it made me open hips aggressively on last bit of squat, as intended if I understood it right.
Changed up my usual pull strength routine a bit today, and finished with Part C:
ReplyDeleteA. Pull-ups, strict supinated CTB, 5 x 5 w/light band anchored from waist to floor; 3:00 rest
B. Ring dips, 5 x 5 @ 60 @ 2020; 3:00 rest
C1. UB @ tempo
C2. UB @ tempo
C3. unbroken butterfly
Also threw in one muscle-up with a band anchored from waist to floor. Hoping to be cleared Monday morning to begin weighting squats - it's been 12 weeks since surgery. Training is going well, though, and I've set PRs in my press, and weighted PUs, and am confident my neck is at a PR next time I test it.
Itching to get back in it with everyone - it's tough watching Arjuna and Pete kill it every day...
And by "neck", of course, I mean bench press...
ReplyDeletePart 1
ReplyDeleteA1. Subbed strong bands (175# total at top): 185/225/265/295/315

for the squat w/ chains/bands, should we be worried about bar speed on the concentric or just interpret the "X" as usual ie. move bar afap?
