My knee has been bothering for me about 4 monthes now pain not getting any better; afraid I might injure it more. MRI/X-rays the whole nine yards, ended up with a cortisone shot in the lateral left knee, no leg work for a week.

I'm going to use this time to practice some handstand work, upper body stuff only for a week I suppose. Hopefully things get better I hate not squatting lol

Breaking news by researchers in Denmark - a diet high in lean protein, and lots of veggies is "scientifically" now proven to be the most effective way to lose weight and keep it off!!! Wow who knew. Maybe the whole country will jump on the Paleo train and most chronic illness and obesity will magically disappear. Awesome.

Soren said...

Done!
Scaled the air dyne to a run, and bear crawl was without DB, and everything was done at moderate tempo, have got nothing today.
Oldest daughters 4 year birthday, included a meal out and I suspect there was some stuff in the chicken my stomach didn't like - have been feeling flat all evening, or gluten in the gravy!
Damn

OPT & Big Dawgs,
I've been traveling with work for the past couple of months and have not been consistent with my WODs. I have been trying to workout with what is available in the hotel, but in most cases it's been a 35 lb db and a treadmill.

I'm looking forward to jumping back in although I feel like I am starting from scratch. I've got a long weekend with family, but will start posting again Monday.

OPT said...

paul, welcome back - 2nd generation BD

Jake said...

airdyne -> crosstrainer
bear walk -> no DB's
KBS 32kg DB, should have gone heavier

completely gassed, took me over 1 hour. shit pommes frites...good one though, thanks OPT

David said...

Done,
32kg KB, run on mill for airdyne.

Steve said...

Paul,

Good to see you back!

NW said...

Globo closed for Turkey Day so did Flight Simulator, 5-50-5 unbroken double unders.
Time: 17 minutes, roughly
Pretty happy with this, seeing as DU are a huge weakness.

Happy Thanksgiving to all celebrating!

Lars said...

Yesterday's WOD - took yesterday off for more back rehab.

A. CGDL - 365 x 3
B. SQ - 285 x 1
C. SCT - 195 x 3 x 8min OUCH!
D. 7:37.2

Deadlifts felt decent today, but kept it lighter. Lose my hook grip easy at this weight.

Squat Cleans felt good today, could have done more, but 300 is PR, so 285 aint bad.

Squat clean thrusters on the minute were brutal. I wanted to go heavy and 195 was tough, but did it!

No gas left for rower, was keeping around 1:55, which felt like 90-95% today.

Arjuna @ Calibrated Training Systems said...

Taking a week off. Got some tendonitis in the rotator cuff muscles....hopefully. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!

Lars said...

OPT,

My gym is selling some CF Calendars for 2011, to raise money for a local womens shelter...would it be okay to post a link for that? If it's a conflict of interest or you're not comfortable with it I understand.

Thanks

Lars

Heavy Evy said...

I'm going to go out on a limb here, that I'll be laughed at, but would an elliptical machine be a good sub for airdyne? There may or may not be one in my basement acting as a clothes line......

Rory Hanlin said...

Good to see you are coming back Paul

Becky said...

used 75# for snatch
2 pood for kbs
row instead of bike

over 45 minutes by the time it was over, with the rests in there.

i have finally decided that burpees and du in the same wod is not my friend

i like the db bear crawl.

Happy Thanksgiving every one!!

Steve said...

From November 17th

Results:

Aly Jansen said...

Nathan H. said...

Nov 24/10 WOD

Done yesterday forgot to post.
A. 325#
B. 215#
C. 135#
D. Row 7:36.8
Felt good once warmed up, on everything except
overhead portion of thrusters felt heavy.

Lauren said...

80# snatch, but broken into 6/6
1.5 pood for KBS
didn't have airdyne but did 30 sec DU/30 sec switch lunges jumps..(?)

first time doing polar bear crawl, hopefully I did it right :)

Kent said...

Yesterday's WOD

A CGDL 3 rep 225,295,315,335#
B SC single 135,155,175,185f,180#f,f
C 135#8X3 on the minute
D 7:12

Does anyone know the ratio of what a squat clean or C&J to back squat or deadlift should be? I think my cleans are very off compared to where they should be.
I feel strong when cleaning but am so embarrasingly timid when turning the elbows under. Other than tall cleans and snatches and growing a pair, any other suggestions on how to learn the feeling of this movement?

Unknown said...

Kent, your front squat should be 85% of your back squat but a front squat is much different than a squat clean.

Anonymous said...

Part 1 :

95# snatch
6 broad jumps
Average of 20 du's

Note:Du's really sucked today, taking it easy on the snatch because of the shoulders.

Part 2 :
40 kg(88#) kb, swung to eye level.
400 m run (1:30), 500 m row, 500 m row

Note :Biggest kb the gym had, felt pretty good to eye level, dont think overhead would've happened for 15 reps.

Part 3:
24 inch box as rx
25# dumbells

Note: Bear crawls were alot tougher than they looked, especially after the step ups.

Just want to say coach, the length of the rest I found to be perfect.

Trevor Salmon said...

Kent, what is your Ass to grass Back squat?
Your power clean should be 66% of that. I believe you said the other day it was 180#

Anonymous said...

A.HPS @115# broken but felt good
BBJ where good, and DU's went well

B.KBS 2 pood + 5#'s taped to it all UB
Subbed exercise bike with challenging resistance no airdyne

C. workout felt good bear crawls where fun

Kent said...

BS 300#
FS 245#
PC 185#
squat clean no better than power clean

Dr Lisa said...

Lauren very nice to see you post - hope you are doing well.

Ali have a great time and i would definitely pay money to see you in a pair of lederhosen!

running behind did the 5 sets of split jerk/C2B and HSPU/GHD it was pure hell my C2B and HSPU are sorely lacking so concentrated on the movement versus trying to get it done fast. Kept SJ weight a little lower than 80% and focused on speed and technique.

Will hit up todays WOD tomorrow.

Dr Lisa said...

Oh yeah would the Versa climber be a good substitute for airdyne??

Stephen B. said...

1.UB (6/48 ub/6/50 ub)

Priority: Need Strength - so I subbed 1st Set for:
A1) Back Squat @20x1 x 3reps x 4 sets

B) 55# UNB --too light now ;-)
2:00 split time x 3

115# HPS is heavy for me. Had to break up. The rest felt good. Bear crawls drew a lot of attention in my geriatric AM globo gym. Fun!

PTS said...

completed on 11/26/10

HPS - 12, 7/2/3, 4,4,2,2
du's were broken kept missing

70 lbs KB is biggest I have.
cals 42,40,40

did 3 sets of RSU and bear crawl as I will be hitting the doubles Sat and Sun.

jerf said...

@kent

I have the same shameful timidity when it comes to commitment on squat cleans. I'm always terrified of snapping my wrists (this stems from woeful flexibility issues --hard for me to keep my elbows high in rack position)

BS-365#
FS-275#
PC-225#
SC-235#

For the longest time my power clean was HIGHER then my squat clean. 3 weeks ago I FINALLY convinced myself to drop down under 225#, and for me it really was just a matter of mental conviction.

Lars said...

part 1 -

HPS all UB, did burpees, and rowing instead of DU's.

*snatches felt good and fast, rowing and burpees were gasing me.

Part 2 -

KBS x 15 @ 40kg all UB, rowing about 530m.

KBS felt great, especially after the snatches! Rowing tough.

Part 3 -

Russian step ups x 30 UB, bear crawl with 25lbs UB.

Bear crawl wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but still challenging.
