"it's very easy to sharpen the well conditioned body"
- Arthur Lydiard
I wanted to say thank you for such a great blog! This past weekend was the Mid Atlantic Hopper at CrossFit BWI and I had one of the best competitions ever. I felt great and recovered well. I don't think I could have been any better prepared for it.
ReplyDeleteHrmm curious, should I sub the run with 45 seconds of double unders or 8 sprints on a basketball court (200m but have to switch direction). Thinking b-ball court but i figured i'd get an opinion if i could before tomorrow :).
ReplyDeleteCould someone please specify what "Touch and go" means for the snatches?
ReplyDeleteThank you.

@ drew
ReplyDeleteTouch-n-go means at the end of snatch instead of resting bar on ground touch-it-and-go. Unbroken brother.
@ Fosco - I'm far from an expert but I wld do the BBall court sprints with turn around. Just my opinion though
Drew - touch and go just means touch the ground and get right into your next rep. No big pauses.

Power snatches felt a little weak today. I expected to go up a little bit more, but was pressing the weight out a bit.
Squat snatches felt good, but legs and hips were a little tired.
Achilles still sore, so didn't quite give it 95%
@ Christa looks like you did an awesome job this weekend....4th right(I assuming that is u)? I was there also...not as good of a finish as you(31st). Definately feel the same way about the weekend though. All the training from the big dawgs blog transferred well to all the events...and its now tuesday and I feel fully recovered.
ReplyDeleteNice Work Jay! Yes I did finish 4th. There was a lot of strong competition; was awesome to see Christy Phillips compete!
ReplyDeleteI would have been crushed without these workouts..especially the rowing double under WOD!
Thanks again OPT!

Only timed last round @ 2:46
Notes: This was done after deer hunting the last 2 days. Not enough sleep and food was not optimal. Not enough to eat today before wod. Didn't feel like timing WOD. Judging by feel, the 3rd and 4th were probably a little slower than the last. Def felt it after 1st rd. Subd 70.5# DB for KB.
I would like to compete this weekend, but have been dealing with a tender achilles tendon, plus I was competing in a team competition this past weekend. Would it be too much? Any suggestions?

Competed in 1st comp ever this weekend. 2nd place with some mental errors. Body felt great during and after. Great programming
Lack of time and no access to platforms means I had a skipping rope to play for 30 minutes. Decided to attempt the flight simulator.
ReplyDelete11:26 as rx'd
ALL unbroken until 15 on the way back down. Kept getting to 10 and then I would spazz out on the last 5 and completely lose my timing.
Please that I got through it as this is the first time I've done it as rx'd

PS heavy today...weights all feel heavy lately and I do not feel like I'm peaking. Having a hard time getting rid of the sickness that has been going around our house. Will rest well tomorrow.
Tweaked my wrist on the clean/deadlift workout last week.
ReplyDeleteSince I'm nursing a slightly sprained wrist, I'm guessing WOD #1 of the big dawg comp will be some kind of bodyweight "wrist" complex.
OPT & Crew,
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me train today, a little disapointed that the new t-shirts don't come in shumedium, which is a small/medium and would show off the "guns" better, but the large looks pretty sweet anyway!

Part 1
ReplyDelete135X2 155X2 165X1
These felt no bueno. Weak finish although landing (feet position) is improving. Attributed to all the OHS in the previous WOD. Mucho gracias.
