So my thoughts on prepping for this weekend's regional qualifier:
- practice technique (snatch and hspu, especially)
- visualize
- hydrate
- eat well
- stretch and mobility work
What I don't know is what to do about workouts to stay sharp.These are the events they've announced. Please let me know your thoughts!! (Brent, Geoff, what are you guys planning to do your week before the regionals?)
Saturday Morning
WOD #1
Snatch(power or full) x 5 reps (135#/95#)
Short Sandbag Carry (90#/70#)
Snatch(power or full)x 4 reps
Sandbag Carry
Snatch(power or full) x 3 reps
Sandbag Carry
Snatch(power or full) x 2 reps
Sandbag Carry
Snatch(power or full) x 1 rep
Scaling will be:
Snatch 115#/75#
Sandbag Carry 70#/50#
More scaling will be on an as needed basis.
Saturday Afternoon
WOD #2
Complete 5 rounds for time of:
Deadlifts x 7 reps (275#/185#)
30 Air Squats
7 Handstand Push Ups
Scaling will be:
Deadlift 225#/135#
Handstand Push Ups: 2 abmats under head
More scaling will be on an as needed basis.
Hopefully this can help you, bso:
This is from maxfitusa.com (wfs), written by Maximillian Mormont (the guy whom Josh Everett mentioned in the movie 13th of April):
"Two weeks away from the regional games. I recommend you only work out 3 to 4 times a week 2 weeks out and 2 to 3 times a week 1 week out. You should also do 1RM’s or up to 90% the 3rd and 2nd week out. Nothing over 50 reps on gymnastics and nothing over 7 to 9 reps on power and strength movement. The last week you should hardly do anything. Drink lots of water, get 8 hours of sleep, eat well and rest. REMEMBER there is nothing you can do to get ready 2 weeks out. You need to recover!!! Now is not the time to learn things or work on things!!!! Great job everyone and good luck!!!
CoachMax"
Numbers for today (first time tabata):
Tabata row (damper 8): 6/6/6/5/5/5/5/6 - 5

Good Luck this weekend BSO. Let us know how it goes.
Row 68
Squats 103
Pullups 56
Pushups 101
Situps 94
Total: 422
Not sure how I feel on this one... definitely a good workout though.
Hey BSO, good luck on your qualifiers; it looks like your workouts are going to be exciting. The snatch appears to be a lot of people’s downfall, so if you’re good with the snatch, you should already have an advantage going into WOD #1.
Your prep list looks spot on to me:
- Prepare in advance your own fueling strategies so that come game day, you're not playing with foods or quantities that are going to make you ill.
- I think James has suggested this in the past and has been something I've always done with Martial Arts however it is often overlooked. Visualize your movements and how you are going to approach these workouts. Thinking, sleeping, dreaming about it in advance will help prepare the mind.
- Butterflies are good on game day. Whether they are going to be an advantage or a hindrance is dependent on any competitive background you may already have. Butterflies area good thing, control and use them to your advantage.
- Occasionally someone will ask me during a workout what the hell I'm training for and I oftentimes I simply reply "tomorrow". Every day of your training has prepared you for this moment. Keep it up.
I've never competed in a crossfit event so hopefully others with that experience will chime in on the best way to taper your workouts going into the qualifiers so that you’re at 100% come game time.
Good luck BSO!
Tabata This: 8+15+5+10+13= 51
Dissapointed with the score. Need to ratchet up the intensity. Where you at unit?
I feel like I should play around with the weights this week... probably today, so that I know what to expect. I've never snatched or deadlifted that heavy in a met-con.
Should I stick to working a few sets, focusing on technique and visualization.... or should I put together a little metcon?
HSPU and snatches are weak spots in my training. My intuition is to kick up to do handstand pushups as much as possible today and tomorrow... tapering off on Thursday and to spend my training session tomorrow afternoon working snatch transfer drills.
Thanks Hixy, Brent and Gord for the feedback and well-wishing... any further insights along the lines of training today and tomorrow would be awesome!
Wellllllll I f%$ded this one up good.
First WOD back after being sick so I was just happy to be back in the game even though it felt like total crap. Didn't read (duhhh) that it was for lowest rep ("Tabata This!" should have been my hint) so I did totals. I felt really weak by the midway point, realistically I needed about 60 minutes to warm-up but that wasn't an option as I worked out at OPT before I went to work at the hall, didn't eat much before but I felt great when I finished.
Low #s for Row and Squat were 6 and 14 and then everything else was totals (64, 72, 103). Numbers are nothing to sneeze at, I'm just glad to be back at 'er. Mentally I was sharp today, this was the perfect WOD to start back up with.
As rx'ed
9 + 18 + 10 + 15 + 15 = 67
Spent... b nice 2 have u pushing me Rory... Btw being a dad is amazing, hectic, restless and a joy!... (in regards 2 my baby boy born 4.10.9)...

BSO, good luck. Take it one wod at a time and have fun.
bso;
1. your mental state has 80% to do with your prep...focus on what you are going to do, not what might happen
2. physiology lends itself to better prep when you remain at high intensity and keep to low volume pre comp...you need to keep the CNS excited...most imptly...there is NO rep/set scheme out there for this as EVERYONE prepares differently...i could give you 20 ex's off hand of top performers and all different preps
therefore, sleep and eat that workout in your head...prepare by staying in the gym as you usually do to keep your CNS on alert but the amount at lower levels
stick with this program and practice some of the skills needed for the weekend...i'll give you some ideas per workout as to how you can change it to ensure the correct response...sorry late response, as with you and unit and others know, children come 1st...
today; do 3 sets of each of the tabata intervals...and all out in each one
Sean G, you might want to check your math.
Now that's something coming from me.
sub push up burpees for row. it was way to nice today to workout in the gym.
Burpee- 6
Squat-16
Pull- 7
Push-10
sit-up- 15

I had to sit this one out today. Still feeling terrible from what appeared to be a case of mild food poisoning yesterday.
Thanks for the encouragement guys!
Coach,
Thanks for the detailed post. I received it after my gym session today, so I won't be doing today's session (family 1st), but I was super pumped in the gym and will definitely follow your suggestions tomorrow and Thursday.
Today I worked up to 135 on the snatch to feel it out. Used split snatch technique and it felt real clean. I'd guess it's about 90% of my 1RM.
I've decided based on the 10minute time limit to go with the scaled wods. Really looking forward to this new experience and am super pumped to *finally* have the opportunity to really really play my sport!
Thank you again for your teaching, coaching and support.
That was awful. My worst performance since "The Chief", when I had a little lay-off
Row - 9 (wanted 8)
Sq - 18 (wanted 20)
Chin - 6 (wanted 8)
Push-up - 6 (wanted 13, had 13 until rd 4)
Sit-up - 11 (wanted 13)
Score - 50 (wanted 62)
The only difference between what I wanted, and what I got, was effort. Had none to give. Legs were roasted after squats, which effected everything else.
Met with the P Man today.
Row = 7
Squats = 15
Pull ups = 7
Push ups = 9
Sit ups = 9
Total = 47
The row was maybe harder than I should have for more points later, but glad I pushed it there.
Well done all.
Row: 9 (9x8)
Squats: 18 (18x8)
Pullups: 8 (9x6/8x2)
Pushups: 7 (10x5/7x3)
Situps: 10 (13/12/10x6)
Total: 52
Unit was in my sights for the Row and Squats. After that I fell back on my standard Tabata totals and fell a little short in the pullups/pushups, although close. Situps unanchored were tougher than regular situps.
Shot for the moon on this one and she kicked me in the nuts. I'm spent.
48...pull ups killed me. Great exercise in mental sharpness in a high intensity workout
For the breakdown
Row-8
Squat-15
Pullup-5 (garbage)
Push up-7
Sit up-13
bso good luck in the qualifier!
All Big Dawgs:
Please email me at rwcorson@shaw.ca.
I need everyone's email address.
Thanks,
Rob
Row 7 straight after 3 mis-starts due to operator error on 20/10 set-up.
Squat 18 straight (20 next time)
KCU 5 (started @ 11 but crashed to 5).
Push-ups 8 straight (10 next time)
Sit ups 11 (started @ 15 but crashed).
Total=49
Strategy is everything. Regret the ones that I started too low more than the ones I shot too high & couldn't hold.
Congratulations Unit on the new addition to the family. My boy was born on the same day.
Brent, do you mean that your son shares the same birthday, or that you just had another son a couple days ago?
Row - 8
Squats - 17
Pull-ups - 5
Push-ups - 10
Sit-Ups - 11
Total - 51
All out & nothing left. About time!
Thanks y'all 4 the kind regards!... It's much appreciated!... Btw, gm2 are my initials... Garry Martin II... And in case y'all r also wondering, Im honored 2 have Rory as a brother in law... He's been my workout partner of sorts from afar... and it's nice 2 know he keeps my sister safe... Wish I could c y'all at the games, but alas I m unabe 2 attend... the life of a plastic and reconstructive surgery resident doesn't get much for days off... If it were just the games, then it might have been a posibility 2 get a wknd... but now that there is a qualifier; it writes me out 4 a few yrs...
Thanks again!... My son sure makes me glow!...
