  1. Hey,

    Unfamiliar with mixed grip pullups. Can someone elaborate? Thanks

  2. Wow, thats superfast! :)

    105/2/5
    2x107.5/3/5
    2x105/3/5

    B 60-70-80-90 kg

    C 5/10 on all (but no CTB on the bar, banged my elbows in the door frame)

    Man oh man had I forgotten how hard the 0 sec in top can be. Thought I could get around 10 BS on the first 2-3 rounds. Had a hard time breathing and balance was poor, tired legs after FS and tipping forward on BS. But I´m really happy with 3x105 and 2x107,5 kg at this tempo!
    Have done 100 HSC, but 90 was as high as I could get with perfect form today.
    Forgot tempo in PU and had 1 sec extra in top and bottom. Can´t do CTB in the "door frame pull up bar".

    Notes: Form is really starting to slip with front squats and HBBS. Going to do A1/A2 over again after work and really concentrate on lower loads and perfect form. Not acceptable.

    C1/C2 3 sets really liked mix grip. C2B was not happening today.

    So I was absolutly shattered today, took Tues off and did double yesterday instead. Really could have used that day off prior to this WO. Lesson learned for next time.

    Weight felt like a toothpick after all the squats .

  10. Haven't posted in a while, thought I would drop in. MRI checked out fine, still nursing a couple of nagging injuries, so taking it easy.

    Attempted todays wod. First round was 245x3, x7, and then my groin screamed at me for attempting an l-sit.

    Did some split jerk work, and a light 2k row.

    Otherwise, diet has been very good, nearing target weight, and body is coming along steadily. Should be back in full swing by next week.

    A1/A2 was physically and mentally really tough. I was seeing stars after round 4. Probably OK I had to cut it short. Hips were trashed for L-PUs.

    Very happy and surprised I recovered and then PR'd on B. Not doing 3 extra sets in A helped.

    Congrats Kathryn. Awesome work on the runs.

  15. Started this WOD but something in my mid back has been bothering me for weeks. Didn't think much of it until I was barely able to hold the bar in the rack position (??). Pullups were useless as well.
    Packed it in and will be making an appt. with Chiro ASAP.

  18. I re-injured my plantar fascia yesterday during the double unders and am in some pretty severe pain. I'm going to be modifying some WODs for the next week or 2 and see if I can get this thing healed. It has been a recurring thing since some hill sprints in July or August.

  19. in workouts that specify a rep range (in this case A1. 2-3, and C1 3-4) you must add weight to the next set if, and only if you are able to hit the top of the rep range . If you don't make the bottom of the rep range then call it quits, don't drop down in weight.

    Abdominals still really sore from last workout. Kept weight a bit on the light side on FS, to avoid compromising my midline too much. Squat cleans felt good fast, made it into the catch no problem on 70 kg, but just couldn't get out of the FS. Man I feeling smoked. Time for a mad amount of ice bath tonight.

  22. Reason my form was going to crap this morning was my knee was killing me, I hurt it over the summer after a kickboxing match while I was doing sprints on the rower. Anyways it’s been hurting a lot doing the power lifting/squats and such so I went to the athletic trainer at the school today and he did some simple stress tests/stretches. His diagnosis is that I have tendonitis in the tendons that connects my quad throughout my upper knee and down to the bottom. So at least I know it’s nothing serious :).

    C1. body weight - all easy.
    C2. all unbroken

    Notes: 5 hours of sleep and still have a cold. Chest and head congestion still pretty bad.

    Legs were shot from the A's so B was HARDer than usual.

    Once I get the tempo down I'll be good-to-go. Whenever I forget, and stop at the top, I rack the bar -- don't want to feel like Im cheating the work and tempo.

    Each rep was ass to grass and as close to perfect form as i can get. Did high bar back squat.

    Question:
    When the rep scheme is in the 3-4 range for those pull-ups are we supposed to add weight or were yall just going for extra work?

    Ive read the FAQ a few times and was sure to read the wod description -- including the fine print -- and didnt see anything about adding weight. Feels like I missed out there.

    O-Lift seminar paid off BIG today. All lifts felt really strong with tempo especially front squat and clean. Great training day.

    My hang squat clean was built from 135 to 225 in 8 sets. Reason for this was because I had never gone over 185 on a hang clean. Form was perfect and finally activated my shoulders and hips on extension. 2 ques that were hammered into my head at seminar. I was surprising myself on how easy it felt to not muscle the weight up.

  26. @Matt Shannon -
    It is what you can do at the prescribed tempo with perfect form. If you can do BW mixed grip pu's with perfect form at the tempo, then add weight. Otherwise, stay where you are. I added weight today because it would have been far too easy at just BW.

    Chris Dunkin posted something earlier today that is right on as far as when to move up or not with given rep ranges. Hope this helps.

    - Back squats were mental. I could probably have done more reps, but work capacity is so diminished now, two or three sets would have been everything
    - Difficult to open shoulders fully on pull-ups, and then explode.

    B. 231#

    - First rep at 190# shocked me. Calves cramped, dropped weight. After that everything felt surprisingly good.

  30. Coach,

    Forgot to mention -

    2 hours prior:

    2 min max push-ups: 97 (previous - 133)
    2 min max sit-ups: 93 (previous - 104)
    2 mile run: 13:58 (previous - 12:48

    Worst numbers in about 4 years. No worries, it's expected for the time being.

    The back squats were a real shock to the system after digging deep on front squats. The consistent mobility work on my ankles has helped my squat immensely.

    C1. BW on rings
    C2. Ring PUs. all very broken

    I pulled the left side of my back on sunday and I am still feeling it. Effected how heavy I could go (was probably at 85-90%). Also couldn't do l-PUs. Bars were getting installed in the new gym so had to use the rings.

    I stayed light to work on form, squats always give me a hard time. Also sick with a cold and felt weak today.

    B: 85/115/125/135 (cleaned it then squatted, wasn't 1 motion so stopped here)

    C: substituted with the omni toe to bar since I missed that workout - also been climbing a lot and my forearms are sore and its tough holding onto the bar

    B: 70/80/90/100/110/115kg - Might have gotten 120kg

    C1/C2 w/20# Weight Vest:
    1) 4/10
    2) Called it quits, nothing left and long ass day. Need to get in and spend evening with kiddies.

    Right knee hurts at the top of the knee cap, anyone know what this is? I was able to squat tonight but this has been hurting for the last 3 weeks or so. Left knee is also still tweaked from my 2nd snatch bail this last weekend. Hoping the pains go away in the next month or so.

  52. Brent,

    I'm no PT expert, but I've tried KStar's recommendations for knee pain and it's worked.
    KStar recommends trying to mobilize above and below the knee. So, foot, ankle, calf mobility WODs and hips and quads. You can check out his site for the specific movements.

    Like I said, I'm no expert and if tryin' that stuff hurts, I'd avoid it, but I've been amazed with how well it's worked.
