walking with Red tonight, I could not resist - ensure you take the time to take a second every now and then....
...and reflect how fortunate we are

TESTING:

12,9,6 rep rounds for time:
Squat Clean - 155#/105#
Muscle Ups

compare to this
post time to comments

...and if you can take a second; I've been analyzing the last few days' data and I should have asked for the BWT and avg watts for the row effort - I want to compare this so if you could please...go back and get #1 your total reps for the 85% of back squat score, and then find the avg watts for the 60 min row and divide that by your BWT in # as a score (ex. 200 avg watts/200# BWT = 1.0)....and PLEASE post those scores on this current day (Dec 22) as well if you can, thanks a bunch! It will help us all; like this;
BS reps - 7
Row score - 1.5

  1. James,
    Would you like separate posts or just one for today's plus the other data requested?
    Thanks,

  2. No access to rings would doing mu on the pu bar be the best sub?
    Results for bs and row:

    Will post again tomorrow BS and row scores.
    I'm following a couple of days behind from Auckland, New Zealand because of the time difference and getting organised.

    Thanks for everything you do Coach.

  4. Coach,
    For the muscle ups, I don't have access to rings and the dip bar is a ways away from the pull up bar. Don't think it's what your looking for on this WOD. For the record, I suck at HSPU - is that an appropriate sub for this WOD or do you want me to do the dip/pu?
    Thanks!

  17. OPT--
    I would like to start posting this week, but I have been unable to start until today. Do you recommend that I begin with today's WOD to be on schedule, or would it be better to start with the row and back squat work to get a baseline for testing?

    Thanks!

    Had trouble with the muscle ups first set went 4-4-2-1-1 , on the second round I scaled down to jumping muscle ups after several failed attempts. Squat cleans were done mostly unbroken .

    Need to work on shoulder mobility as the transition on the muscle ups seem to be trouble for me.

    ReplyDelete
  22. sarah, do the BS work and row 1st if you can....this one is good also depending on what you have been doing - if you've been in an aerobic power phase with a strength component to it this will be a good test as well as Fridays but if you have not the row and BS will suffice, thx!

    ReplyDelete
  23. BS - 4
    Row - Unknown (BWT=200, Distance approximation=15.2K)

    Today - 8:30

    - Squat Cleans unbroken
    - Muscle Ups broken on all three rounds (6+3+3, 3+3+3, and 2+2+1+1).

    - Still having trouble going to full extension on Muscle Ups
    - Diet has been horrid this week (leaving town tomorrow, trying to avoid the grocery store).
    - Pretty disappointed with the time:
    - Mentally psyched myself out before starting
    - Should have pushed harder
    - Went into this thinking sub 7:00

    ReplyDelete
  24. Thanks James! I think I will do the row and BS work. That would be most appropriate right now. Then I will pick up with Friday's work.

    Very excited :)

  26. Done at a globo gym and my performance really suffered, 17:09, Went into this thinking I would be able to do muscle ups on the pull up bar, but the bar was too low to really kip so I was forced to break it up, three pull ups/three dips per muscle up- I was able to bang these out but the squat cleans had me gassed

    ReplyDelete
  27. Today's workout: 13:27. About :10 seconds faster than last time we did it. Did this fasted just like last time with exception of a big spoonful of coconut butter.

    I was on duty on the row day so I coached 2 classes and did it too.

    13,424 meters

  28. Today: 6:41 last time 8:56

    last time I did touch and goes on the squat cleans and my grip gave out. This time I reset my hook grip after every rep. MU felt strong (3,3,3,3) (3,3,3) (1,1,1,1,1,1) everytime I came off the rings I took 1 breath and started again. Very ecxcited about how I felt today.

    Bwt= 195
    watts= 215
    1.1

    ReplyDelete
  29. Today's around 9:00 minutes
    Notes: subbed MU for HSPU and weight was 145# for first 15 reps, then 135#. It was 75-70% of my clean

    Was going to try muscle ups on the bar, no go. Too low to kip and after struggling for 15 minutes said to hell with it. Then tried dips, felt a strange pinch in my shoulder and didn't want to risk it, so HSPU was my last resort. Sorry coach.

  31. BS: 7 (345#)
    Row Score: 168.5/208= .81

    Today's Couplet: 9:55 (almost 2 minutes faster than last time)

    Really wanted sub 10 so I am happy with this. Grip was limiting on both cleans and MU's. Next time, I need to drop and reset grip vs. touch and go to see which is faster for me at this weight. MU's done as doubles and triples until the last 4 when I couldn't hold the transition back down.

  32. todays workout 5:37, rory is posting video on vimeo a little later

    BS reps 6
    Row score 1.2

    feeling great, have done amanda and this was more of a lung burner than a shoulder girdle mangler. maybe could have gotten a little faster if would not have failed last muscle up but tough to gauge if that failure will occur. Lesson learned.

    Today:
    subbed straight bar mus, since I don't have ring mus consistent yet and still had to get them one at a time & then my hand started to come off with the first 2 of 9 rep set. Left my hands on & finished squat cleans. Legs felt sluggish.
    - came home and finished up w/ ring dips (26) and rows (39).
    - all hard stuff for me, but felt good to get the work in on weaknesses...I'll get there:)

    can't compare to last time as I was recovering from surgery. pretty disppointed with this effort. Felt very weak. Been feeling a bit beat up lately, and had a few nights of short rest. unfortunately that might continue here and there through the holidays due to everything going on. gonna get plenty of rest tonight and tomorrow, and see how I feel friday.

    BS reps = 7

  46. So friggin' aggravated tonight. Spent a solid 20 minutes warming up and discovered that I couldn't do a single Muscle up. I walked away, warmed up a little more, attempted it again and couldn't nail one. Not even close. The last time we did this I hit 17 before I had to sub. The icing on the cake was that I tweaked out my hamstring and couldn't do a squat clean without any pain! Any insight or anything to stop me from defenestrating myself tonight!

  59. Coach,

    I'm new to your site. When you say you've "been analyzing the last few days' data", are you saying that you actually go through everyone's WOD results and keep track of it for analysis?

    Thanks for a great site. I'll see if I can do the SC/MU testing tomorrow... thanks.

  64. Today's WOD 9:43

    Compared to 8:53 in August.

    Pretty disappointed, but just got off of a night shift and I guess it's affecting more then I realized.

    Cleans felt okay, but legs got tired fast. Muscle ups were tough, I was landing them really low - unusual for me.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Couplet: Nope


    Wrist was still unhappy so I (wisely) shut it down. Did all the MU's and 135# power cleans after I sulked for 5 minutes.

    For what it's worth, my MU's felt strong!

  67. Felt disappointingly slow, but calculated the power, and was much less disappointed.

    87 lb-ft/sec
    (4.5ft ROM on sqt cln's x 155lbs x 27 reps + 4ft ROM muscleups x 175lbs BW equals about 37,732 lb-ft over 7min 13sec).

  69. Coach,

    Trust me.. there are plenty that don't-- they seem to leave it up to the individual to keep track of their own results, either thru sites i.e. BTWB, etc... but I definitely like your style better..
