Coach,
ReplyDeleteI have been having some extreme cases of low back fatigue during WODS. I have been following your programming and I have a question. My issue looks reminiscent of lordosis. KB swings, squats, almost anything where I have to keep midline stabilization is killing me. I also have some left SI dysfunction and left knee pain that could be stemmed from this. Is this something that I should spend time mobilizing or strengthening or both? Do you have a protocol that you haver used in the past that is effective?
If you look at the 2:02 mark you can see that even with pull-ups I have an extreme lordotic arch in my low back. I am very limited in my training because my back locks up. I remember at Sherwood talking about this low back fatigue and I haven;t been able to find anything that has helped so far. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

3 min rest (mistake!!Take the 4 min!)
1 thruster
60,62,65,65,67,69,70,72,75,75kg
Part 1 was tough, i was thinking i should hit 60 pretty easy - nope. I had not much left when at the 3rd thruster and had to dig deep for the pullups.
Could also massive amounts of turkey, pork, chocolate and even ½ glass of wine...
Soren
95,100,105,110(4 thrusters),110
ReplyDeleteunbroken- last set very hard, last 10 reps super slow but never came off the bar.
115 for thruster 10 min metcon- not bad. i had a nice ah ha moment, as my shoulders fatigued i found my body staying on its heels longer and popping harder towards the top of the thruster, very powerful, versus rolling to the toes as you push press.
no time for run later, family stuff all day
MERRY XMAS DAWGS
165-170x4 sets, last set looked like this 5/5/2+3
ReplyDeleteall pullups unbroken

ice baths + contrast showers , knee is acting up

James, anything against hitting a trail for this workout?
James,
ReplyDeleteI don't want to get ahead of myself, but do you anticipate KBs in the coming days? I'll be gone from home, so I want to make sure to bring those along if necessary.
Sarah

ReplyDeleteStill getting my back issues sorted out. Time off has been nice. All in on 1/3.
pretty pumped to find a pair of OPT 2pood wod shorts + a box of revive bars under the tree this morning!
ReplyDeletebeen workin on a few things over the past month but itching to get back with the big dawgs 100% jan 3
No access to gym today. Only had 30#DB's at home. So subbed:
ReplyDelete15 30#DB/hand Front Squat
5 HSPU
5 30#/hand manmakers
5 sets
10 min on the 30"
3 30#/hand DBFSquat + 1 HSPU
Probably no time for the run.
HO! HO! HO! HO!
Forgot to include the 5 sets of 20 COVP Pullups 20 sec after the modified set. First 4 sets UNB last set 15+5.
ReplyDeleteOK, let's see if I can get this right:
ReplyDeleteI took a clue from Coach's picture and decided to add Kettle Bells to the bar using bands (Towards the end of this article: http://westside-barbell.com/westside-articles/PDF.Files/06PDF/06Sept_Using_KettleBells.pdf).
1. 135# (Plus 52.8# KB hanging on bar); 3xThrusters; 20 UB Pullups
2. 135# (Plus 52.8# KB on Bar); 1xThruster; 20UB Pullups
3. 95# (Plus 52.8# KB hanging on bar); 5xThrusters; 12+8 Pullups
4. 95# (Plus 52.8# KB hanging on bar); 5xThrusters; 15+5 Pullups
5. 95# (Plus 52.8# KB hanging on bar); 5xThrusters; 5+5+5+5 Pullups
30sec:
125#+52.8#KB on sets 1-17
130#+52.8#KB on sets 18-19
140#+52.8#KB on set 20
Notes:
- This killed me. Had no idea the KBs would be that challenging.
- Expected the pullups to be recovery. That didn't happen. Forearms blew up, shoulders smoked.
Looking forward to the run.
Great Job today, CF Local!! Jen, Tony, and Sarah all rock!

ReplyDeleteFS/PP/TH 105, 115, 125, 130, 130

No time for part 2 today family plans
Merry Christmas Everybody!

ReplyDelete65% of HR was 104, but kept it around 110, would pause for 5secs and check every 2 min, ran between a 7 and 8 min mile, felt like i could've ran forever, but time was up.

Run complete around neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, everyone. I pray that we would all rest in the gift of grace this season.
Coach, I should clarify part 1: I did the full front squat, push press, thruster complex on each set. The number of thrusters I posted is simply what I was able to perform at the end of each complex after completing the FS and PP.
ReplyDeleteSorry if that wasn't clear at first.
Heavy Pwr Clean = 140#.
ReplyDelete500m Row = 1:44.4
Watts/Bwt = 2.46
Both of these tests pleased me, even though they are not PRs. I am at a kind of starting place again in training right now, so I more than happy to start here.
Quoting Steve here for today's wod because I did this with him...

1. 45# (Plus 15# KB hanging on bar); 20 UB Pullups
2. 65# (Plus 15# KB hanging on bar); 18-2 UB Pullups
3. 55# (Plus 15# KB hanging on bar); 10-5-5 UB Pullups
4. 65# (Plus 15# KB hanging on bar); 7-7-6 UB Pullups
5. 65# (Plus 15# KB hanging on bar); 5-5-5-5 UB Pullups
Thrusters each 30sec:
Used 95 for 1, then 105 for the rest. Could have gone a little higher during those middle sets, but wanted to make sure to stay in the 90% range.
This hurt good. The FS/PP/Thr sets were tough, and although I knew the pullups would be challenging for me, they still surprised me.
