3 rds for time:
10 Dead Lift - 115% BWT
25 box jumps - 24"
(rest 10 sec b/t reps on cluster; rules for box jump - jump up, hips to full ext @ top, STEP DOWN, repeat, you CANNOT jump up and jump off - we will test this again with jump up - jump down over time and compare)
post loads and time to comments
work on recovery - we are just finishing up some volume work; stay with it
Had to do this one early, tomorrow (saturday) Lamarr and I are running a crossfit event in Orange County. Wouldn't have been able to get anything in.
ReplyDeleteFelt pretty weak during this workout, but glad I did it.
PC: 225, 235, 245, 255, 265/2 just couldn't generate the power I needed.
WOD: 4:02
Step downs absolutely suck. Burned by legs WAY more than normal box jumps. I went into it thinking, "oh this is going to be easier" Yeah... right.
For the record, I'm enjoying this recent GJ kick.
ReplyDeletePC: 80,82,85,90,92
ReplyDeleteHappy with that
WOD:
3.19
Step down was interesting, a new experience compared to the jum´ps, legs were fired up before the Deadlift
did the rower wod from the other day yesterday, only 5,4,3 sets of each but that was enough to get me fired up. That was rough!

Mixed up Thurs and Today's due to schedule:
ReplyDeleteA. OHS @ 32X1, 5x5, Rest 2 min

B. PWR Clean Cluster
205, 225, 245, 245, 245
- Not sure about how the numbers stack up, but very disappointed in how this felt.

Metcon: 6:10 (225#, 30 inch box)
Only had access to a 30 inch box... these were tough! I definitely found myself favoring a side, so I had to consciously switch stepping legs every 5 reps. Only took one break (5 breaths before picking up deads on round 3)

I don't have a name for my garage but I do have a little banner that says "Physical Fitness For Better Tyranny". Mr. Burns (from the Simpsons) has the same thing above the entrance to his home gym.
ReplyDeleteJust checking in, I have been focusing on some weaknesses and I will be wrapping up and getting back with the pack here on January 1st. I have been lurking, it is great to see AJ Moore posting now. That dude put on a huge showing at the Dirty South Regional in May. He hurt is leg in the first event, and still kicked some serious ass. Without the injury he would most likely have been games bound.
Won't be able to get at Thursdays wod until tomorrow. 300fy should be fun.

ReplyDeleteCoach,
Update on Post WOD fueling:
day 3 of 100-120 grams C. Feel awesome, recovering much better. Feel like I could do workouts all over again. Haven't checked BF, looked everywhere for a caliper, going to check online now.
Following with 20-30 nuts about half hour later, then meal about an hour later depending on class schedule
PR today in both DL and Metcon, something is working thanks!

I am posting this as constructive criticism so I hope no one takes this the wrong way.
ReplyDeleteI've been on this blog since the beginning. We all try to hold each other to a high standard on ROM when doing workouts and when we post our times. We do this because on competition day we don't want to have missed reps. Missed reps can cost valuable time in any competition.
With that being said DL and BJ are two movements where ROM can easily be compromised unintentionally.
What I'm saying is, let's all check our ROM and make sure it is legit. I say this because I want all Big Dawgs to smash it come competition time and the way to do that is to train properly.
Again I am saying this out of a desire to make our community here better, so I hope this message is coming across as helpful.
Started the cluster at 225, felt heavy. Went to 230# and on rep 3 strained/pulled/tore something on my second pull. Got it up but the top of my bicep looks like it has a small indent and is a very sharp pain. Needless 2 say I shut it down and will have 2 take some time off. Any ideas on what this may be?

Technique is getting better with power clean, but now I have to relearn how to do heavier weight correctly. Fired up before metcon. Walked away under controlled breathing after metcon, step downs roasted the quads which made it harder to red line.

Happy with cleans, 1RM is 225.
Loved the metcon, stepping down was an interesting twist.

Unit you were right on. Went to the ER no MRI but the dr said it was a partial muscle tear. Said to let it est 7 to 10 days and work bck into it. Full heal in 4 to 6 weeks. So gonna. Focus on lower body the next week then try to get back into the swing of things. Will do the couplet except squats tomorrow.

--> I jumped off the box a few times and repeating the rep cost me a few seconds.
I haven't been feeling up to snuff over the past few weeks and have been trying to creep back into the training on a more consistent basis. For the past couple days I've bumped up my carb intake and tonight I felt great and was shot out of a cannon.
Just checking in while doing my own programming to identify and correct some weaknesses on my way back from knee surgery...
ReplyDeleteA. Split squat, 3 x 6 @ 35/hand, 3010; 2:00 rest
B. Power snatch, build quickly to heavy single
C. Power clean & split jerk, build quickly to heavy single
D1. Glute-ham raises, 3 x 12; :10 rest
D2. Toes-to-bar, kipping, 3 x 20; 3:00 rest
Split squats just suck, but hey, that's what I need... Built up to 165 on the PS and 220 on the PC&J - not too far of old PRs, but felt ridiculously heavy after a few months away. GHRs unbroken, but had to break the third set of TTBs after 15.
Pleased to see so many Old Dawgs posting again on the sight, as well as all of the new Dawgs...
James. Sent you an email mate. Just read that you're away so just decided to follow my heart and step back into th bd training.
