| assessing thorasic mobility - why he might be able to OHS 210# fifteen times |
TRAINING:
as many rounds in 10 min @ 90%:
5 ring dips
5 Dead Lift - 135#/95#
5 hang power clean - 135#/95#
rest 10 min
as many rounds in 5 min @ 90%:
1 rope ascent
10 wall balls - 20/14# to 10ft
post rounds and notes to comments
So my poor thoracic mobility could be part of the reason I have such difficulty with OHS??
ReplyDeleteGood to know...
This is Nate.
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time following or knowing these percentages when it comes to metcon style workouts. I want to go as hard as I can, not hold back. It's easier to assess for running or lifting separately, but to go just under, like the 97% effort last week sometime, I just can't seem to grasp or do. And when I work with the NC Crew it definitely always turns into a competition. Just my thoughts...
I second that Nate, I run into the same problem with these prescriptions sometimes. I worry that I might be throttling back too much, sort of like today's rowing, and I don't want to cheat myself or the programming. For tomorrow my goal is to push pretty hard but still stay away from redlining it, realizing that with the comp coming up this weekend we need to be in sharpening mode instead of building.
ReplyDeleteNate I know what you mean. I enjoy blasting through MetCons to the point where I'm flat on my back after. Scaling back to 90% will be a challenge in itself.
ReplyDeleteTraining from yesterday:
ReplyDeleteDid pull ups as ctb
set 1. UB, 1:17, (1:57)
set 2. UB, 1:18, (2:00)
set 3. UB, 1:19, (2:03)
Double under reps:
52-52-50-50-50-50-51-50-50-50
pwo: 50g pro + 44g cho
Off to Mexico for a week, bringing my rings, jump rope, and chuck taylors, and hoping for an internet connection and a gym! And might be able to get the big dawg comp in, but my back could use some rest, so we'll see.
ReplyDeleteAs the locals say sianora suckers!
AMRAP 10min

AMRAP 5 MIN

Nate, I know what you are saying. I had to keep telling myself to breathe. The way I tackle it, is I add in a break, water, change song, chalk hands, and take a extra breath in between movements.
I love the same feeling but I also know that being 37, I can't keep doing that every second day.
I find for myself that I HAVE to take those 90% days to have even more appetite for stuff like the squat clean and MU wod.

AMRAP 10 Min @ 115#: 7 rounds + 5DL
ReplyDeleteAMRAP 5 Min w/ ring pull-ups: 5 rounds
worked on rope climbs for 5-10 mins, starting to get technique but need more strength. Subbed 5 rings pullups.
everything unbroken, slow and steady. Probably closer to 80% today.
AMRAP1:8+6rnds....started dip at bottom, set the rings up right underneath my armpits and tried that because I tend to get into awful positioning with the bands. Shoulders all hunched forward, and starting each at the bottom forces me to really concentrate on keeping my shoulders back. Hands felt a little tender from yesterday so the HPC's kind of sucked but I'm glad I didn't drop the bar.
ReplyDeleteAMRAP2: 2+1/2 rope climb
First time ever doing rope climbs, so this was interesting haha. first two were easy and I did those in under a minute, then I got 3/4 up on round 3 and got stuck, tried like 3 or 4 times to get all the way up but kept getting stuck! Was def. fun though!
From 1/9:
ReplyDeleteA.135#
B.155, 175 and 175# ( had a hard time keeping my shoulders back)
C1. 8 (with 3 abmats), 4 (w/ 2 abmats) and 1/3 (w/ 1 abmat) --- My GOAT [all without rings]
C2.Check
1/11:
AM.
3x3 back Sqt at 160# and 30min of mobility ---working on depth (ATA). Will drop weight next time. I get back pain when I drop too low.
PM.

B.46,38,32,25,26,14,32,36,22,24
**needed to push more on the row.**
AMRAP1) 7 Rounds with a good 10 - 15 second rest between rounds
ReplyDeleteAMRAP2) 4 Rounds again with rests between rounds.
During the rounds everything was unbroken. Felt good this morning knee is feeling good again, but im going to rest it from dynamic stuff for another week or two. Ice bath again this morning. can really notice a difference in recovery on days when i use the bath compared to the days i dont. WIsh I has a giant ice maker in house!!
What length rope are we going to, 20' or 30'?
ReplyDeleteI've noticed that a % effort under 100% simply changes the game and makes me a more disciplined athlete (possibly due to age as well, Soren). Holding back to 90%, like in today's workout, will keep me more consistent over the course of the 10 minutes, rather than steadily dropping off towards the end.
I forgot to note that I subbed bar dips for ring dips on the first AMRAP.

ReplyDelete5 min AMRAP - 3rds (20ft, 20ft, 15ft)(used 30lb Med Ball)
Rope climbing is still a work in progress, I need alot of work here...
%'s - are based upon the "feel" on that day...the better you get at knowing your OWN engine and how it runs, the more disciplned (as Steve put it) you become...on a day to day basis
ReplyDeleteif you have not figured into it yet, "smashing it" over and over each day does not work long term and is "lower order" training
as mentioned in this last OPT CCP assessment module - i believe there are 16 different gears that a CF'er should have and know...once thought as by myself that there is 2 (all out or nothing) has evolved into more...
A. 9 rounds +4 Ring dips

ReplyDeletePart 2: 5 rounds. Major sub - 1 strict muscle up + 10 45# thrusters.
Felt around 85% or so, still pretty drained from my monday session. looking forward to the next 2 off days.
Coach, Do you have any tips on thrusters? have trouble keeping my elbows up in the bottom and wrist always feels pretty destroyed afterwards. All of this is killing the drive into the press. any help is appreciated thank you!
triplet
ReplyDelete8 rds plus 5 dips

to me 90% means "just don't kill yourself to get through...."

unfortunately i almost weight that much.

NW, usually that is an upper back lack of mobility, coupled with tighter internal rotators of the shoulder and weaker ext rotators of the shoulder, test the db ext rot, powell raise and send a vid of reps of 5-7 @ 135# and get it to me
ReplyDeleteCoach,
ReplyDeleteThank you and will do.
Just to clarify:
- Ext rotation and powell raise should be 10% of CGBP correct?
- You want a video of a 135# thruster and sent to you. Post it on here or email?
Thanks again!

This is only my second OPT workout and I have to say i really like how the programming looks after reviewing some it. I will for sure be doing more of this.
Back on duty today and coaching 30 chatty high school volleyball players tonight. Resting and nursing this lame shoulder.

AMRAP 10: 13 rounds+10 reps
ReplyDeleteAMRAP 5: 3 rounds+8 reps
Towel ripped right when I started the second part, so improvised with using the straps from the rings as a towel. Made it extremely hard to grip.
NW, yes and post it
ReplyDeletePart 1. 13 rounds
ReplyDeleteActually went about 90% held back a little was tough though.
Part 2. 5 rounds +2 wallball
Rope I used was quite slippery really taxed.my grip.

Coach,
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested in getting an unbroken shirt to wear for the garage games as well. Was going to order one but wasn't sure if it would be down here in time. Probably should have thought about it earlier.

ReplyDelete5 min Amrap: 4 rounds+ 1 rope climb
Felt pretty good today, could have gotten a few more rounds if going 100%. I made sure I concentrated on my breathing with every rep and recollecting myself between rounds
This is Nate.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the descriptions of percentage-based efforts! I think I understood it simply by doing it today, if that makes any sense:
Part 1: 17+1 DL
Part 2: 8 even
I went at a fast steady pace all the way through both. I wasn't taxed afterwards and the pace I was holding I felt I could have continued for some time after the set AMRAP time. Something I did to keep a pace was walk from the rings to my bar, use an over/under grip for 4 dl's, drop the bar, then use a hook grip for the fifth dl, then go straight into 5 hpc's. This kept me from pushing too hard or fast. I also used chalk to tick my rounds on the ground, which I never do, but it kept from going 100%.
For the climbs and wallballs I just did 10 straight and went straight into the rope climb each time, but could have gone faster simply by running from the wall ball to the rope and vice versa, and by climbing faster.
Good training. Coach, what are those 16 gears that we should know as cf'ers?

10minute rest on airdyne. Lost track of time and had to go so couldn't finish part 2.
Part 1
ReplyDelete8 rounds
Did strict dips on the paralletes (no rings).
NO part 2, if I did, I would have missed supper.
sucks without the proper equipment, had to reset properly after each HPC because the bar/weights were making too much noise and apparently noise in a weight room is bad here at OPC.
Also did 40 minutes of PT prior to this, easy circuit of different exercises.
