Looking forward to tomorrow.
Hey guys, Newbie here. Can someone email me the answer to this?
If it says:
3 sets:
12 SDLHP - 60% BWT
Row 90 sec @ 2K row race pace
rest 2 min
Do you rest 2 minutes between EACH SET or after the 3 sets Sorry if this is answered elsewhere. Heard great stuff about this blog. Excited to give it a try.

Extremely bummed out by this. I had a brain fart on the first set, and picked up the pace the next sets, however I felt as if I couldn't maintain the high watt output although I was busting ass. Frustrating.
Double Unders were a complete cluster f. Warmup was fine then got tripped up contnuously to start, then daughter woke up. I'll finish this one tonight.

Ryan B.
Nice numbers Dawgs,
getting my butt kicked by some sort of stomach bug so sitting today out. Hoping to get back soon.
two different readings:
off the rower at the end of each 30 sec set-
634/601/557/526/489-561.4 average watt
damper was 7.5, foot postion 3 for the first 3 sets. Damper 4.5, foot position 2 for the last 2.
off the memory - 625/595/556/519/483-560 average watts
average watt/BWT=561.4/181.5=3.093

Still struggling at DUs, but certainly getting better. Have a problem with not really spinning with both arms, mostly with my strong arm. Strange and I need to get rid of that movement pattern.
OPT: Will either get you a contact at Eleiko or get them to get in touch with you. Those guys are really into CrossFit and they are really cool guys.
Competition this weekend was the second ever comp in Sweden and went nicely (me and a friend on the crossfit certification team organized it at Eleiko's training facility).
It was 4 events that brought out 3 finalists. The events were kettlebell run (2km carrying 16kg KB), 50 DU - "Grace" - 50 DU, tabata row for distance and 4 minutes to find a heavy deadlift and then AMRAP air squats for 4 minutes - score was DL kgs + Squats.
Final was AMRAP 12 minutes of 5x60kg squat clean, 7x60cm boxjumps, 9 burpees.
The male event was won by Blair Morrison. Nice to see the level of athleticism you have "over there" - we're trying to close in!
My model B doesnt record average watts ( i think), it just gives the last pull wattage. any advice?
Rob and Dunkin, how many rows per minute did you average today?
-------
Garage, good question considering watts can jump around so much. Look at this SPI calculator on this page: http://www.machars.net/
It looks like it calculates wattage based on your 500m split times. So if you have that at the end of the 30s sprint, then this may work. No one posted their time with the watts today so I was unable to verify that this is accurate.
Had a question for the group. I've been following the site since May and ran the Chicago marathon on October 11th. I started back with the WODs a week later. I've notice a huge drop in strength (1 RM DL was 405 and I couldn't move 365 yesterday) and I feel more sore after WODs. Do I need to take some more time off or will my strength slowly build back and the soreness go away by doing the WODs. Thanks?
Brent,
My stroke/min was above 50 for all 5 sets. Strokes were short and all over the place in the 1st 2 sets and a bit longer, smoother in the last three.
James & Geoff helped me out quite a bit with the damper/foot setting after the first 2 sets. They also gave me some technique tips, as my 1st 2 sets had a high watt average, but my efficiency was crap.
Sugar Shane-I'd wait for OPT to answer that.
Soreness may be due to the slower tempos & doubles we have done lately. What do you do post WOD as far as recovery? ie. fascial rolling, hot/cold baths, stretching, epsom salt baths, diet, warm up, etc. The deficiencies &/or lack of these can really effect soreness. Also, remember that soreness has no affect on performance.
Avg watts per row: 364/364/357/329/310
Total Avg: 344.8 BWT: 148
Score = 2.33
DUs: 65/66/66/38/66 TOTAL: 301
Lost focus in round 4 and it all went to shit. Glad I was able to get it back together for the final set.
Thanks for the response rwcorson. Post WOD I have a shake made with protein powder, coconut milk, mixed berries and some raisins and do some stretching. I eat strict paleo with a cheat meal here and there.
Did yesterdays WOD and hit this one later tonight depending on how i feel
DL 185/210/225/235/245PR!!! and still had more in the tank plus minimal rest between reps - wow
HPC 85/95/105/115
Press 65/75/85/95f at 3 but... this is a huge 1RM for me and I did 2 reps and almost 3 - coach you totally rock!!!
Grace practice did it at 95# felt good last rep in the last two sets was tough but felt quite explosive
I have never done Grace before does anyone know what the womens weight is for it??
Heading to MEC tomorrow to get some chalk i think my hands will thank me - thanks again Rob
Row - Avg 458/185 = 2.47
DU 81, 94, 82, 107, 97 = 461
I'm guesing on the row watt avg. It kept hoping around. I was in the 500's for the first 20 sec or so and then it would drop to the mid to high 400. (oh, and i fell off on the third set) DU went great only had two misses total. First and third set
My strokes were in the 38 range. I haven't been able to get above that and hold the form together.
Shane I'd say you have to give yourself some more time to adapt back into the GPP. How much time away from this blog did you spend before the marathon, and what was your effort for the event?
I actually just followed this blog for my training right up to 5 days before the race. The marathon was a last minute thing. Long story, but my girlfriend and I found out we were going to be parents. She had registered for the race and couldn't run it. Chicago won't let you transfer the bib, so I just filled in since I knew I wasn't going to be setting any records under false pretenses. I finished in 4:31 and cramped a bit around mile 23. I was pretty gassed at the end of it.
Lisa,
Ladies weight for Grace is 95#
Shane,
Congrats on the news.
Do you follow OPT's recommendations for PWO fuelling regarding body fat % and amounts of protein & fats? This should help with recovery for sure.
I have days when I'm very sore, especially after those slow eccentric movement exercises. Lately I've been fairly good. I've been using Wobenzyme B regularly for about 6 or 7 weeks and this has really helped my muscle soreness. It is a anti inflammatory used extensively in Europe (Germany). Check it out.
Shane,
I should have said carbs instead of fats, re: PWO fuelling, body fat % & protein/carb amounts.

Thanks Ali i thought it was 95 but wasn't sure.
Thanks Trevor my handy husband welded me one on the weekend and it works amazing. Now i just need to figure out how to hang my rings form the ceiling - how do you guys do that is it just with eye hooks??
Thanks Rob/Chris. I'm going to see where a fast 50spm and a slow 24-28 spm get me at 100% effort tonight. I have never pushed these to extremes to see how the body reacts and times differ. You got some pretty good watts last go around and I want to try and hit a few 600's tonight.

No rower - subbed 45# high pulls amrap 30 sec- 25/27/24/24/23 - shoulders/traps felt tight today and don't think I warmed up enough
DUs - just got my rope today so will be working on getting proficient at these - for the time being, I thought it more beneficial to work on overall rope speed for the intervals to prep for arm endurance needed rather than whipping myself for 5 min. Subbed amrap singles- 139/151/120(yuk)/149/154. Did DU work in warmup and after singles.

Sorry Coach, rowing is one of two movements that still hurts my fractured rib (injured from a slide tackle).
So instead I did the two things I suck at most.

Rob, took your advice and kicked up the rpm's tonight. I had the rower dancing all over the floor tonight. Tanked the last 15 seconds on the last 2 rounds of the rower and just tried to hold on. I was so uncoordinated and fatigued tonight on the double unders.

Dawgs,
Yesterday I mentioned Wobenzym B, as a treatment for muscle soreness. It is actually Wobenzyme N.
In Canada, it is manufactured by Heel, the makers of Traumeel, which many of us use.
There is a ton of literature if you google it.
Corson- What form of the Traumeel do you use and how often? Same with the Wobenzyme?
Fist Post on your Blog..you guys have some great metcons. I am in Tennessee in the States. Keep up the great work and motivating performances.

Chris,
I use the Traumeel cream as needed on any stiff muscles or joints. I use it to help make frictioning a bit easier.
Wobenzyme N, 3 tablets when I wake up, 3 mid day and 2-3 prior to evening meal. All are taken 30-45 minutes prior to eating.
If we are doing a double or I get crushed by WOD, I increase the the dosage to 4 tablets for morning and mid day and keep the evening dosage the same.
OPT helped me with the dosages.
Garage, all that tells me and by looking at my numbers, there are a lot of variables in how a C2 determines wattage. With my numbers you do not see a direct coorelation between wattage and any one thing like my (damper@8, foot settings @3 holes above top, row rate, acceleration force). I actually ran this WOD on a new C3 rower because the rebound tension on my C2 chain is a little weak and I didn't want it slapping around while trying to hit 50rpm's. Your a beast so if your still curious, I would give it another go on a fresh day and truly give it a balls out attempt on your 3,2,1 go and see if you can pick it up.
The pace for todays performance on this WOD would crush me on anything much more than 45 seconds. What I learned with this WOD is if we're rowing on a short sprint, balls out on rpm's AND pulling force is the only way to consider it an all out effort. Why did I emphasize AND? The last time we had 100% for wattage high, my mentality was wrong in that I was going to maintain a slower pace but pull like a freaking ox. Nope, who was I trying to kid? After 3,2,1 go, the walls should start to shaking.

Hey Chris Dunkin,
Maybe this should go on email, but perhaps others are interested too...
You mentioned a couple weeks ago or something that you were going to experiment with the low carb PWO/no PWO fueling as detailed on Robb Wolf's blog. Did you start that experiment...if so, how are things going?

ave watt 358/128= 2.8
DU 88/82/80/77/85 = 414 pretty happy with that my arms were baked.
Rob and everyone interested on the wobenzyme they now have a physicians strength so you don't have to take as much. I am not sure if james has it or not but I can get it if anyone is interested in Calgary. I am sure OPT will be able to get it as well
Joel- still early (starting 4th week) but I have noticed strong performances, and no afternoon tiredness. I eat a lot, but only when I'm hungry. Lots of protein and fats, and the only carbs are coming from veggies. I have continued to use Refuel on our double days. So far so good.
Just noticed that I did 30sec rest between each of the 30sec 100% Rows. No wonder I was so gassed.

Sounds good. I eat a lot too, but I am pretty light. I eat some fruit mainly PWO following coach's protocol. Overall mainly protein and fat and with some carbs from veggies. Good plan on the double days, I think. Let us know how it works out in the future?
