Officially leaving CA and moving to TN tomorrow, so I'll try to get back into the programming after I settle the family in the new town - probably after Thanksgiving.
Looking forward to the rest and to getting back into this training - love it!
If there are any big dawgs in Nashville, TN, please e-mail me at stahl07@yahoo.com. I'd love to train with you guys.
Coach quick question.
If I can't do a workout as RX due to lack of skills (Muscle ups,TGU). Would it be ok to do a main site workout for example instead or would that throw off the programming.
Thanks again!
p.s. I realize I should really commit to learning these skills.
Samy:
Scale weight, do progressions, learn technique. Do not avoid what you need to practice...at least that´s what try to tell myself :)
OPT:
Big thanks on the advice of how to prepare for a hillrun. Maybe I´ll be able to use my legs post-comp after all :)
OHS: 60 kg
1 weighted chin: 3x10kg,3x15kg,6x20kg
10 UB CTB.
2 min rest after each round
5 min rest
240 sec plank on rings, broke it 5 times. the chest was on fire in the end...
Time for bed (10pm)
Soren
10 chins were really fast and flying after round 3 and only struggling on last round
samy, you answered your ? in your PS statement, ask us how to scale as needed...as you've seen, there are many, many good athletes on here who are more than capable of giving you some insight...
stahl, safe travels...
samy,
I agree to work on progressions (and try 2 stick through weaknesses... for myself I feel it's pistols as I struggle with these big time but still stick with wods involving them), the muscleup has some technical nuances that may need observation for q's, but there are good progressions to get u there... can I assume tge transition is the sticking point?
also, I'd like 2 better understand what about a TGU u r struggling with... the weight?... can u do it unweighted (standing up from laying with ur arm overhead)?...

105# ohs
used 20# on all weighted cu
only 1st set of cu's unbroken, others broken
i was told today that on wods like this one, you never want to go down in weight ( the ohs) even if you're not getting it.
does that hold true for things like hspu too?
any good articles on that?
Anonymous:
For this WOD if you begin to miss sets of OHS or Chin-up then you would not want to reduce the load as that is not progression. Your CNS is taxed for this movement/workout. Best bet is to call it a day! Unless you fail due to technique error on the OHS, which can happen. When you fail to make reps in slow movements like OHS and Chin-ups it is usually a CNS limiting thing...not tech.
As always, there is rarely an ALWAYS in training. For your example of HSPU. When these begin to go into the crapper it is usually acceptable in the WOD. However, this depends on the structure of the WOD. If the HSPU was used today in place of the OHS than the same rules should apply if you begin to fail at your given intensity...shut-er down! If it is "Diane", suck it up! Depends on the goal of WOD.
Playing catch up as usual.
Dynamic box squats at 50% with chains 3x8
Did "gaucoin" = 184 so 3:04 rest
:43/:39/:27/:26/:23/:26
The rows just got worse and worse and the last set of squat cleans hurt. Maybe my back squats affected me a bit.
Followed up with some muscle up practice and HSPU practice.
SMOKED!!
Performed yesterday's MU + BJ + HSPU/TGU:
Muscle-ups completed unbroken
Low score box jumps = 10
4 rounds + 1 TGU
15 weeks post-op microfracture surgery on left knee. Good to be back to a full OPT workout, even if I had to take it easy on the box jumps. I'm limiting my squatting to simple linear progression until I regain a moderate level of strength, but will follow here when possible...
Also, anyone else attending the CCP Assessment Module this weekend?
Last night, did 3 Muscle ups on the minute for 10 minutes, plus worked on depth HSPU's.
Today:
Sets 1-6 @ 180, 72lbs pull ups, 10 UB
Little tweak in shoulder...
Sets 7-12 @ 135, 72lbs, 10 UB
OHS felt okay at first, but had a little something happen during the workout so that I needed to ease off. Started to loosen up near the end again and could have gone heavier again.
All CTB pull ups were UB and felt good. Should have gone heavier on weighted chin ups.
Any good ways to hook weight to oneself other then tying a rope around your waist?? I use a rope and a carabiner, but find it slow and pulls on the hips.
Day behind...

James: See you tomorrow
Coach, Sorry I tend to do that haha
Bear, you're 100% right about working on what I'm not good at.
Unit,
Today after the workout I practiced TGU, I got a few, a bit more practice I'll be ok.
Muscle ups, my main problem is the transition. Recently, I realized I was pull the rings too high into my chest ( near my throat) making the transition almost impossible.
Thanks for the advice

Shoulders were still tired from yesterday. Happy about the first 6 rounds of unbroken CTB. At the end, had trouble to hold on to the bar.. new gym... new pullup bar, not use to it yet.
Took me 6 or 7 attempts to hold the 240sec. Hold 75sec on first attempt.. don't have times...
I have been changing the Wods up a bit the last couple days therefore not posting. Still following energy system protocol for the most part just adding a bit more rest to maintain the volume. Decided to try IF with a training day today. Felt okay. Not great.
Changed the format a bit to test OHS 3RM.

Safe travels, Stahl and family. Looking forward to working out together like old times sooner rather than later.
On that note, would love to connect with other dawgs in Manhattan/Brooklyn area, if only to get a wod or two in together on the weekends. Hit me up at kevinjrooney@gmail.com if you're around. Really miss having someone else to chase in workouts.

Lars - re: weighted chins

Michael McCabe -
I sometimes use in excess of 100lbs, and holding DB between the legs doesn't work so well...I should just invest in a weight belt with chains, I hadn't thought of that.
Thanks

First day back after comp
Thanks to Trevor for sticking around @ OPT to allow me to compete and to Mike and Thad for advice and motivation.
Had to do "gaucoin" for my mentor.
46,43,38,38,37,51=253sec total rest
Good mental game with this format.
Crushed the last row.

CTB all unbroken
front leaning rest-
completed in 4 sets
OHS - 135#

leaning rest - 1 min longest hold, 35 sec others till finish.
OH: 95lb ( this felt good, I think my 1 rep has gone up)
Chin up: 25lb (could have used 30 0r 35 but then might not have made all 12 sets of 10 unbroken CTB)
Overhead squats @ 105lbs 3 reps very set
Weighted pull up's, 10,15,20,25,30,35,30,25,25,25,25,25. strength diminished quickly..failed on 2nd attempt of 35 so dialed back down.
CTB...all sets hit 10 reps broken but strung 5,4 and 3's most sets and down to 2's and lots of aggressive singles. got it done.
that ring plank hold was brutal after midline stability taxed in OH squats....3 attempts to get 4 minutes total..lower back smoked!
