when folks like Danny have mastered a skill and a sport, it becomes truly beautiful to watch - same as in an extended set in volleyball, a John Wooden run offense, a double skull for 2K...so much skill needed and time devoted; no one really understands it until you see it captured like in this film - watch it all, it increasingly impresses.

TRAINING:

part 1:
A. Back Squat - build to a tough 1; rest as needed
B. 85% of A - amrap @ 3010; 1 attempt
C. Chin Up - build to a 1RM; rest as needed
D. 85% of C - amrap @ 3010; 1 attempt

rest 4+ hours

part2:
4 sets @ 90%:
1 min burpee broad jumps
1 min db thrusters - 25/15#/h
1 min ball slams
1 min box jumps - 20/14"
rest 4 min actively

post loads. reps and notes to comments
single on Monday

Back Squat 145kg then 125kg for 5reps
Chin up, done on rings, 40kg, after that 33,75kg for 3 reps.

part 2 should be interesting...

Jakob said...

my back feels tight as hell, rowing kinda solves the problem. is a 4 min on (90%),4min off doing core work an alright sub for part 2?

ROBO said...

A. 425
A2. 360x10

Due to time did metcon right after squats. Didn't count reps and honestly it was probably 80%. I need my training partners to push me. Was at Crossfit Power Performance they follow OPT there told them to start posting. Coach ur philosophy is spreading like wild fire big dawgs r everywhere.

Coach (or anyone else with a thought),

On days where our workouts are based on a 1 rep effort, should we adjust the following percentage used if we know that we have poor neuromuscular efficiency?

i.e. I know I'm inefficient from previous tests we've done. Should I use something higher than 85% of todays back squat?

Garage Crossfitter said...

A 300
B 255x3
C 100 (palms facing away)
D 255x3

Felt good, it feels nice to move heavy weights again...

Anonymous said...

coach,

can you recommend a good sub for ball slams?

AJ Moore said...

A 415
B 352 x 6
C 126
D 107 x 3

High bar, ass to ankles squat.
Pronated pullup

Nice job Otteson

Gord said...

James
Is D. Correct with 85% of A or should it read 85% of C?

Ryan Hughes said...

A) 405
B) 355 -2 (messed up the calc, should have gone lighter focused more on tempo)
c) 90 for 3
d) did workout as written which believe now to be incorrect, did another set of back squat @ 315 X 4

hopefully helpful said...

steve, I would use 85% of the days output. the percentage is based upon how good you're for the day, as I understand coach wants a almost maximum output and then,based on ones muscslur structure, somewhere between 3 and 10 reps. that's my 2 cents anyway, could be totally wrong.

Tyler L said...

A.295
B.250, (6)
C.75
D.Did 85% of A as well, guess that was not right, 250 (5)

OPT said...

steve, keep it at 85%, its a measure for current neuro muscular efficiency of the group...

sorry, that was 85% of C for part D

anon, sub for ball slams - man makers - 20#/h

thx robo, we're looking to see whose out there - one can't build an army without knowing who you have to fight with you

What does "@ 3010" mean when referring to the back squat part 1B?

Anonymous said...

CPT Smith reporting for duty, sir.

Part 1.
A. 425#
- High bar; Ass to Ankles
- Had a good bit left, but felt a slight pull deep in my groin, so I called it here

B. 365# x 4
- Failed tempo on Rep #5
- So much for thinking that I'm inefficient.

C. 140#

D. 120# x 4
- Failed to get up in 1 second on rep 5, negatives were no problem

-Rest 2 hours-

Part 2
1. 97 Reps
2. 101 Reps
3. 97 Reps
4. 95 Reps

- Well within the 90% range until the last round, then probably bumped up into 93-95%

Reps: 100, 105, 111, 105= 421

Part 2 felt real good, wasn't happy with the back squats today.
