  4. Brian Dean said...
    Can anyone tell me when the DL tempo 12X1 begins? Does it begin with the load on the floor? up for 1 sec, pause 2 at the top, explode down, pause at the bottom? Or, does it begin with the load at the thighs with a 1 sec down, 2 sec pause, explode up, and 1 second pause at the top? The second seems to make more sense but I just want to make sure.

    Thanks

    Here is the video for yesterdays tester. Usually posting a video is pretty easy, but for some reason this one fought me all the way. I'm not sure when I lost the end of the workout but it is gone, I only caught a few of the pistols in the second set of 30. This is my first attempt at using a video editor and I may have chopped it out by accident.

    Ring hspus definitely need work.

    While I have the video stuff working I posted a video of a recent snatch. If anyone has time to offer some advice, I would appreciate it.

    C2. unbroken

    practiced RHSPU for a bit in warm up.

    Does anyone have suggestions for ways to fix an imbalance in pistols? For example I can do left leg easily but right leg is difficult due to pain/inflammation in right knee.

    for some reason i almost met pukie every single round of kbs damn i think i ate to close to doing this wod it nearly killed me.

    Video of 10 rep ring hspu:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrMzs-gh87Q

    Notes: Video of 10 ring HSPU was started late, I'm on my way down from my first rep at the beginning. It was the 3rd set of C1. Video of yesterdays test loaded funny on vimeo, can still see depth and things but hard to watch. Video wouldn't upload on youtube because it was over 15 minutes. Bicep very sore after the 40 CTB yesterday...slowed me down quite a bit.

    PTS - I have the same problem you do except it's my left knee that is bad.

    ReplyDelete
  31. A: 175
    B: 380 x 1 - felt pain in my hamstring so I called it quits on this.
    C1*: 7,5,4
    C2: Didn't do because of hamstring

    * I'm really not sure why I am so week at this. HSPU are one of my strongest movements.

    Never could get my video from yesterday to upload.

    ReplyDelete
  32. A: 45# Felt crazy light as the bar should but that is 60% for my little baby triceps.

    B: 175,185,195...tempo was tricky for me to remember at first and I didn't realize until now that I NEVER use a clean grip when I DL.Back felt good though.

    C: Tried ring HSPU, almost got one couldn't lock it out totally. So I did them on the parallettes with the green band attached to me, I always feel like I'm skydiving all riged up like that. The defecit really made a big difference I might try to do more like that to get better at my strict because continually kipping them will not help that....anyways got 5,7,3

    D:Completed and really fun, wanted to do more!

  48. Unbroken 2.0

    16:16...re-did 2 sets of sq. cleans (rds 5&6. both on rep 4) and 1 set of hspu (came off wall)

    No rest

    Part 2: (cut to 15 min)

    Subbed 7.5 min on rower & 7.5 min on airdyne

    Notes: had a hell of time warming up tonight. Felt gassed throughout wod. forgot rule about not resting bar on thighs during sq. cleans. Twice I rested it on my thighs on 4th rep. Don't know what I was thinking. Remembered I couldn't do that, yelled f&$k loudly and re-did reps (was alone in my buddy's gym...phew!) Sq. clean re-dos really took it out of me. Great wod. Harder than it looked.

    Bummed about shoulder problems. I have been doing my ext rotations, powell raises, trap 3, and scap retraction, must have gotten overly optimistic and pushed the issue too soon.

  72. Shoulder injury seems to be a torn or at very least a very aggravated rotator cuff.

    A; 135 for all 8. The tempo caused a little shoulder pain. Worked at keeping shoulder blades back.

    B; 255 for all sets. 80% perceived effort.

    C1; sub'd weighted chins due to shoulder.

    C2; as Rx'd

    10 minutes of ring HSPU. First time trying these, I wasn't able to get any...I think I was starting too far in the hole.
    C1. 1, 1, 1 (45 + 15 plates...I think I was more or less finished from the ring HSPU practice
    C2. Complete

    Then 1×8 @ 3010 ext rot, trap 3, powell with 12.5
