Today's workout

NW said...

Coach,
Here's the video of thruster at 95# and 135#.

135# :

Sidenote: My 1RM was 155# thruster, so hitting 5 at 135# was pretty exciting.

Thanks for the help!

Anyone here going to the assessment module jan 22-23 in Fairfield CT, wanna split a room?
Starting my OPT CCP journey!

Wow, early post!

Wed's (today's) workout:

Part 1: Just over 20 rounds (22 or 23, lost count) + 5 dips
- Very pleased with total, but I doubt my numbers after looking at the postings
- Stayed at 90%, which is a very good range for me (I tend to be fast there and can hold it for a while) until the last 1.5 min

Part 2: 3 Rounds
- Eyeballing 20ft on a 30 ft rope
- I suck at ropes.

Becky said...

james (or any one else who has an answer):
do you suggest not going in on friday and working on double unders?
is there a good, better, best schedule for competition week? or is that relative to each person?

Eric Montgomery said...

Coach, is there any way you could post Sunday's competition workout on Saturday? Or maybe email it to me? My affiliate has been doing its Games prep workouts on Saturdays--we used your tester last weekend and would like to do the same this week.

OPT said...

NW, not bad, but as expected the kyphotic upper back removes the use of the ass in most squat movements...as your rack and torso is OK...but i think the pain/fatigue may be coming from a weaker post chain - do you find GH raises, SL DB DL and Dead lift work tough to keep mid upper back tight?...as these might be the culprit to give you some power out of the bottom of the squat and less load then imposed on the upper body and wrists for pressing/pushing..make sense?
aside - keep that thorasic spine mobile, and stretch those internal rotators out of the shoulder each time prior to working out - lats are internal rotators as well, some forget that...

OPT said...

becky, the answer was within the question you asked, it does differ per person relative to what they need to do to get in game shape - if its a skill that does not drain you too much, do it and play..if it makes you less confident why do it prior to a comp?...do it on training days around comps and when you can
overuse of a skill can cause issues as well, so when you do skill work - do just that - practicing on weaknesses does not mean Rhiannon or flight simulator - it means a few quick healthy reps, rest, repeat to get learnings from speed, timing, mistakes to be fixed etc...then put it away

the wise call it "deep practice" - one for you Anthony

Jakob said...

what do you think about a Z1 run, appr 20 mins every day? just started to take care of a dog full time and figured that 20min running is roughly 1h walking which I can't fit in my day.
Are those 20min Z1 do any thing regarding to recovery/overtraining? Any thoughts?

I'm 23, 188 pounds, 191cm (6 '3-4 I think) if it matters

NW said...

Coach,
To make sure I'm following along here -

You think my posterior chain (ass,hammies) is the issue and is preventing the drive into the press?
- If this is the issue do you suggest doing SL DL, etc. and really hammering on them?

And the issue with my posterior chain is the kyphotic upper back?
- working on thoracic mobility

I find it slightly challenging to keep mid upper back (traps,rhomboids) tight in deadlifting. haven't thought about it in sL DL or gh raises.

Again, thanks coach!

Happy to hit 285 on PC, but wish I had got the 295 as I have before.

Burpees felt like I couldn't go any faster.

Row Wattage seems low, would a higher s/m give me higer wattage? I was around 37s/m.

Casey S. said...

A:133,133,138
Really wanted to work on speed under the bar today and not jumping my feet out wide so I don't have to squat at all. My speed wasn't as fast as I would have liked today but I did keep my feet under control.Next time I think i'd like to video myself so I can see exactly what i'm doing.

B:10,10,10 I felt like I was going super fast but couldn't break 10! 2mins felt like forever though.


C:386,345,354....Never rowed for Watts before, not sure wht a good number is for 30 seconds. Still really do not like rowing much but I must get better at it!

Excited for Sunday, this will be my first one!So awesome to see so many women posting yesterday!!

Michael said...

Coach,

I've been out for a while following some of your past programming with some tweaks here and there for my weaknesses. I was thinking about picking back up after the Big Dawg comp this weekend. Can you explain a little bit maybe on how your going to prep for and through the 6 weeks of sectionals since it's one event/week for 6 weeks.

I have the 7 weeks leading up to last years games printed and I was going to either use that (so I can easily adjust to my weaknesses) or just follow here from now on.

Any advice from you or anyone would help! Thanks

Mike

Brian Maier said...

Lars...when coach prescribes watts on the rower, I find that I get higher watt output by increasing the resistance rather than increasing my s/m. Crank it up to 10 and give it a try.

NW thanks, I should have specified results when I asked the question. Sorry about that. Does anyone have a breakdown of the results?

Nathan H. said...

Competing a day early at a local competition so changed some stuff up.

Power snatch: 215#
Did 220 but was clearly a full snatch on review.

Burpees but 2 rounds only: 11, 12

Row but 2 rounds only: 734 watts and 689

BW @ 188

also was messing around and got a one armed pullup with L and R arm. Although I jumped to the ring to do it so it wasn't from a strict deadhang position. Still pretty cool though.

bwt: 178#

notes: first attempt at 15 OHS was at 182#...felt really really strong...got to 6th rep and thought "fck yeah dude, you've got this" and literally the second that thought was done, I dumped the bar on the 7th rep having let it get a little too far in front on me...ha! waited a few mins, tried again at 182#...got to 10...175# got to 9...then 15 @ 165#...hips, quads and shoulders smoked for met-con...learned an important lesson about focus tonight...a momentary lapse in concentration cost me a goal I've wanted to reach since I started bd. can't wait to try again though. boo-yaa!
