Unfortunately I'm not sure what exactly "explosive" entails - vigorous, fast.. Would anyone care to videotape themselves and upload it? Would be a great help for me.
Hands too torn from yesterday. I couldn't do 20 CTB chin-ups. Did weighted chin-ups instead.
10kg: 6 sets of 4 reps
I haven't got a GHD for the GHD-raises. I'm doing this instead: (wfs)

Is that fine?
Hixy some days I can't decide if your comments are a result of cheeky youthfulness or complete earnesty; but they keep me entertained nonetheless.
'X' or explosive is the intent to move the weight as fast and safely as you can. You may not actually move that fast but you are trying to so that you may activate and use as many muscle fibers as possible.
Hope that helps, please do not hold out for any fourthcoming videos...
Oh and as for the video you posted; that should work. Is that you, I didn't picture you as a hot blonde...
Thanks for the reply, Geoff. I figured speed was necessary in the explosive part of the movement, thus reducing weight to make the movement faster.
Do I come off as a girl to you? Hmm... that's something to think about...
To Unit: I'm currently reading on topics that I'm thinking could be interesting for me to work with in the future. Got an A average in school this year, so I'm thinking of applying to a good American college if I can keep it up (I'm gonna). I remember reading that you were interested in medicine, and I was wondering if you could recommend any books that I could read during the summer? Thanks.

Smoker of a workout, the first few CTB's of each set were easy then got hard fast. Front squats were solid, my explosion on the way up felt like slow motion.

Could have deffinately gone heavier. Not sure if I captured the essence of this wod.
brett... thanks 4 the kind words... most impressive work yesterday w/ those pj's being 107% bw... (1 sec...)... glad 2 c u and coach posting on here... it's uber-motivating!...
would anyone like 2 come to kc to run w/ me?... j/k... just not having much luck finding a training partner around here...
hixy...
r u interested in going 2 medical school evenually, or just taking an interest in western medicine?... if, so, u r young, but do u have thoughts as 2 what u want 2 do?... i do have some good books 2 read depending on ur interests in medicine...
2 give u some background about myself, i graduated medical school 2 years ago now (with the MD) and am about to start my 3rd yr of 6 in residency, which is basically like an apprenticeship after med school 2 get specific training in what u want to do... residencies in the US range from 3 yrs (fam med, medicine, pediatrics, emergency medicine) to 5,6,7,8 yrs (gen surg and most surgical specialties are usually 5/6... and neurosurg is 6 to 8 depending on where u go). im a plastic and reconstructive surgery resident, and these programs require 3 yrs of general surgery followed by 3 yrs of plastic surgery... not to mention fellowships for after residency (which i plan on doing in either hand/microvascular or breast reconstruction/microvascular)... anywho... its a long haul but worth if ur heart and head r in the right places...
i have lots of 'advice' 2 give, but need more specifics on what ur looking 4 i guess... my advice in college, etc would be to stay as diverse an individual as possible with a various multitude of interets... med schools like that... don't get stuck in the science rut... although i was a chemical engineer, i have many friends that were spanish majors, religion majors, english majors, history, philosophy, poly sci... etc... the best attribute is to love to learn and be open minded to all things...
if ur curious as to what the life of a resident is like, i recommend reading 'complications' by Atul Gawande... he was a surgery resident at Harvard and is well spoken and descript... he has a few books that r enjoyable that really open up the life of what we do on a daily basis...
let me know what u think...

Been a while since I've gone heavy in both front squats and power snatches. Felt good today. Been dialing in the nutrition. This is week two of no gluten and I feel great. Still doing dairy, albeit reduced.
209*6/224*4/244*2
214*6/224*4/244*2...that was really tough! The wave didn't help me so much.
C2B's - 20/18+2/then bullshit
i meant 7/7/4/2...
which does fall under the bullshit category...
~gm2
110, 120, 132 first wave
132, 142, 152 second wave
C2B, broken up but went well
Went back and did 'Five Alive' WOD #2 in 12:54.
What a smoker, the 1st round was no indication of how bloody hard the next 2 would be. 1st set of HPs were straight through then I did 10 straight PUs before taking purposeful breaks. HPs were broken but not terribly for rounds 2/3 but the PUs were all sets of 3's with pregnant pauses. Need more work there ASAP.
Last WOD on home turf for a while, I'm off to Ontario tomorrow for a few days of R-n-R (hopefully) and a wedding. Try not to miss me Newfie charrrms up at OPT too much!!! WOOF!!
Hixy-
In regards to a career in medicine-surgury etc... another to check out is nurse anesthetist. You have to get your bachelors as an RN and then generally work 1-3 years in an Intensive care unit or Critical Care as an RN, then apply to get your masters at a school that provides this major. It is a 28 month program at most schools and the salary compared to some doctors is very similar. Just another idea...my wife is applying for the Fall of 2010 at Albany Medical in NY.
Best of luck.
a great point...
there r so many directions and things 2 do in the medical field... nurse practitioner [NP], physician assistant [PA], nurse anesthetist [CRNA], podiatrist, dentist, optometrist, osteopath, chiropractor... et cetera... there r so many varied things 2 do...
crap... i should also mention pharmacist... or my sister might kill me...
rory, don't tell april...
~gm2
Hah! To late, she already read it!!
Don't worry, I'll keep her under control...
hmmmm, maybe not
155/165/175
165/175/185
I should have gone heavier by far.
The chins started strong and deteriorated into the 3rd set, but hung in there and battled it out.
The GH raises were horrible. The 2020 cadence burnt up my legs so quickly and walking tomorrow is gonna suck.
Hixy:
Gynecology is always an option as well !
Set 1: 70/75/85kg
Set 2: 90/100/110kg (242#)
GHDR: All 15's
When I read the comment about progression, I took it as though all weights should increase, even going into the 2nd set of 6. Looks like I should have hit it heavier in round 1 and repeated it in round 2 though. Great workout!
My wife has been an RN for about 9 years now and just completed her masters degree as an Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP). The great part about it is that her current 3-4 12 hours per day work weeks are going away and she's going to be working about 6 x24 hour shifts per month on salary. She's going to have so much more time for family and the kids while they are young.
Hixy, one word; Naturopathy.
6/185, 4/205, 1/225
6/190, 4/210, 0/225
A tad too ambitious to start.
Subbed traditional kipping pull-ups (chin break vertical plane of bar) instead of C2B. Garage ceiling not high enough. Each set straight through.
FS - 235 X 5/255 X 4/270 X 1, then failed with a bit of right knee pain. Tried the second wave but it was not in the cards...240 X 5/260 X 1 and stopped.
Did all 6 sets of 20 CTB pull-ups unbroken
At the fire hall with no back Extension so started some stiff-leg deadlifts, but had no gas or nervous system spark. Had a brutal night shift last night so hoping tonight is better and will be back at it tomorrow.
Nice Lifting DJ.
Hey OPT or anyone do you know where i could get a GHD "machine" i workout in my basement for the most part and even my globo only has the crappy 45 degree one. I cannot seem to figure out any way to do these without a proper roman chair... any suggestions would be fantastic. Thanks.
Lisa -
I just bought a GHD from Rogue via Spark Sport Conditioning in Edmonton. I bought the Legend Econ if that helps.
1st wave:
95(6); 105(4); 115(2)
2nd wave:
115(6); 117.5(4); 122.5(2)
All rds of c2b: 5 on the bar, then 2x2; then singles - 100% supinated grip.
Ran out of time for Part B
Unit: when you finish your fellowship, sign me up for a 'DD' cup... I think it will help me on the c2b pull-ups, not to mention the chest to deck push-ups
@ CFC (OPT paving day) @ 11AM

grip couldn't hang on after the 20x5 K2Es yesterday for the CTBs today
Jeff, keep with the CTB CUs. Eventually you will wear a groove in the ceiling.
Lisa, ask OPT for the brand of the GHD that he has. It is the best that I have seen.
Hixy: go for your ND!
hey, im new on this site and i was wondering how to make sense of this workout? how do u order the wod? also, what does front squat @30x2 mean and GHD raises @2020 mean?
