  1. Those stats are f-ing ridiculous.

    Best of luck Rory, full effort is full victory, look forward to hearing about it when you're done.

  2. You scare me, Rory.

    Interesting stuff regarding the light at night thing. My goal in life (sleeping life, at least) is to have my bedroom so dark that it practically collapses into a black hole. Turns out you can't even have light touch your frickin' skin when you're asleep or it mucks things up!

    I think it is safe to assume that Rory wakes up and shits excellence.

  7. Show them what you are made of Rory! I will be cheering for you.

  8. Saw that study this morning from Science daily, just 15 min I went in and did a presentation on the importance of sleep and stress control when trying to lean out!

    Only had time for part 2, still not feeling 100%, so avoided the massive effort on the rower.


    Part 2:
    7 rounds


    It was the pull up that slowed me right down, it was singles!

  9. Jeezez, pretty damn strong and fast, good luck Rory! :)

    Signed up for a uphill race 27/11 (3.6 km, 8% incline all the way!), so I will sub rowing with running if it fits the session, but today I was really curious about what watt (sorry about that) I would reach:

    Part 1
    Average watts): 637.5 W

    Round 1-4: 651 w, 5-8: 624 w. Lost power on last 3. Best watt 667 (2 rounds) worst 605 w (last round).

  10. Thanks for the support Dawgs,
    Haven't been posting WODs lately, but the support here is still amazing.

    I'll do my best to represent well

    ReplyDelete
  11. Part 1.
    Average Watts 465.
    Lowest 417W and highest 519W
    Not very pleased with my result..

  12. Rowing is my nemesis!

    1: 561
    2: 541
    3: 532
    4: 575

    1: 575
    2: 575
    3: 545
    4: 561

    I found that my numbers were consistently higher when I would more aggressively cardio-accelerate prior to beginning the 20 second sprint.

    Best of luck Rory!

    ReplyDelete
  13. First 4 at damper 7
    455, 493, 472, 481
    Row 5 minutes at about 150 watts
    Last 4 at damper 10
    501, 540, 556, 553
    Don’t think I warmed up well enough at the beginning.
    Good luck Rory!

    Rory, you are an absolute beast. I'm speechless at those numbers.

    Yesterday's disaster:

    A1. 319, 330, 341, 352, 374--all 3s
    A2. 40lb vest--way too heavy--4,3, 2, 4, 2
    B1. no KB, and no real pistol; did them inside cage holding on to racks; flexibility really exposed by these
    B2. Tried to do them on plates, no go with the pace, so just did regular; 2, 4, 5, 4
    C. 11, 13, 11, 10, 11 (first time)

  16. Rory! You're such a beast - been missing your posts! Go kick ass this weekend!

    Was gonna skip today, and do part 1 tomorrow. But then I realized what time I had to get up to do this before I need to get the kids ready for school... So part 1 today anyway.

    667W, 636W, 667W, 651W, 620W, 636W, 636W, 620W
    avg watts: 639,5

  19. Part 2

    10 rds even as Rx

    Notes: Wtd pullups were slow and very broken / singles about 4th rd on. OHS all unbroken and fast. Did this part, first, after shift. Will do pt 1 on airdyne at home later. My son will be at my side, so this way is safer.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Have to switch Part 1 and 2 today because of schedule.

    Part 2
    9 rounds

    Chins were limiting. Tried to kip but wasn't happening so much. All OHS unbroken.

  23. Part 2
    26.5 kg db between legs, 60 kg OHS
    Result: 6 rounds + 5/2 reps

    Really beat up by now and my thighs felt like jelly. To my surprise I was slowed down by the OHS. Had a hard time keeping in balance and breathing correctly. Kind of frustrating, was hoping for 7-8 rounds, but it still felt good.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Sean, I had / have the same problem but it´s way easier if you use Oly-shoes.

    And to all the other dawgs, good work! A lot of people here that can handle a lot of volume! Crank it up to ELEVEN!

  25. WPU-15kg
    OHS-50kg

    Pleased!

  26. Any Dawgs out there have any experience with DNA testing for diets? Any advice, is it worth it? A new DNA testing place recently opened up in Edmonton and they offer a diet test, and it seems pretty reasonable at $280.

    A2. 1pood x 5, 1.5 poodx5, 2poodx3x3

    B1. did bw all sets and worked on perfecting the form and drive off the bottom.
    B2. 6-2-2-3

    C. :10-:15-:17-:19-:21

    Notes : definitely still dont have ring hspu's. Looking forward to the day when I get my first one and also string them together. L-sits were a good compliment to balance out the low boack work from the deadlifts.

    Way to LEAD THE WAY Rory, good luck!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Question for all Big Dawgs and coach(es).

    When training do you adhere to working with weight you can move with perfect form or do you think working with heavier loads and losing a bit of form is legitimate?

    Obviously I do mean within reason, i.e. not doing a deadlift that's too heavy and the entire time you have a rounded back or a front squat where you drop your elbow completely.

    Like today I couldnt keep my legs perfectly straight and toes pointed on my lsits the ENTIRE time so would you all consider that as a "does not count" ?

    Interested in hearing your thoughts.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Matt- In training I try to keep all movements judged strictly just like in competition otherwise when you are judged you'll be very dissapointed(as far as the L-sits go)

    On deadlifts and a slight amount of back rounding I mix it up.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Part 2:

    8 rounds + 5 pull ups

    Used weight belt with 45lb plate, all OHS from the floor (power snatch). Everything unbroken, but I was sucking wind between pull ups and OHS.

    Part 2, 5:00 pm
    8 Rounds plus 5 weighted chin ups.

    Also played soccer at lunch. I came off the seat a few times which hurt my numbers, chalk that up to skill or lack thereof. The pm metcon was good, the pullups felt fine, 7 of the 8 sets of ohs unbroken, dropped on round 6 because I rushed into it. All in all happy with the day and happier for a rest day.

    Determined rib was not broken by the fact I managed to physically do this workout. Might be bruised but that'll heal, I'll just do some scaling on chinups for the next little while till I heal up.

    Started the row with the damper setting too low and not pushing it enough. Better near the end.

    OHS and pull ups felt great. Didn't go 100%, just easing back into things. Had to Power Snatch to start each set of OHS, because I had no rack.
