For part two I'm reading that in a couple ways. Are we doing a total of 3 sprints or 9 sprints?

DAVE X said...

Thanks.

Jay said...

Looks like 9 total to me...3 sets of 3

C. 325, 330

Notes: Full snatches felt good, I think I figured out my problem. Wasn't getting the bar back far enough overhead leaving me off balance. Sidenote: Coach I am very sorry for your loss, my heart goes out to the Grider family. My absolute best friend (since I was 6 yrs old) is in Afghanistan until July and I pray he makes it back.

Martin Altemark said...

Sorry for your loss coach!

Third WOD was made official today so subbed with movements geared towards that. It will be max weight in one clean, OHSQ and bench press in 9 minutes, max 9 lifts. Have absolutely no idea of what I should enter with as bench-weight so added that just to feel it a bit.

A. Clean: 50kg, 60kg, 70kg, 80kg, 90kg
B. Clean pulls: 100kg, 110kg
C. OHSQ@90%: 80kg
D. Front squat@90%: 97.5kg
E. Bench press "until it got heavy, but not max": 95kg

Starting to feel better, but still not 100%.

Failed on 180 both times
B. 235

Legs are ridiculously sore from Saturday. Frustrated that they feel the way they do. I feel as though I should be able to bounce back from a relatively light day like that. Instead, I feel as though it was my first day squatting.

Stahl said...

Part I
Legs were so sore and hamstrings were cramping so badly during warm-up I couldn't get into a good starting position for snatch.

Did extra mobility warm-up - went straight to part II.

Part II
90% effort, but speed was probably only 60% since my legs were still so sore.

20 min. at z1

Hate to skip Part I but figured it wasn't a good idea to force it if I couldn't get into proper position. Surprised I had this much trouble since I stretched and did mobility work yesterday.

Sean LeFloch said...

I agree with Stahl. I am still crushed from Saturday even though I stretched and MOB'd like crazy yesterday. Nothing gets me sore like back squat.

Time to nut up.

Chase said...

oops, sorry, no 165 on A. only got to 155.

Sprints felt good
Covered approximately 4km in 20 min (Might have been Z2, running alone makes it hard to judge because you can't carry on conversation with someone)

My quads and calves are destroyed from those squats saturday. Abs are a little tender but not bad. Definitely hoping the run will help out and my BSc Longs should be coming in this week so I'm pumped to have those for the comp

Pt 2 this afternoon at Vitality

Stahl said...

For dawgs who felt fresh today, what did you do for recovery after Saturday?

I was good about stretching and post-WOD fuel, haven't missed many WODs during this phase, but I'm obviously missing something.

I'd love to get some suggestions.

Running portion:
not sure how many sprint programmed so I did 9 total. Jog felt nice after that.

Soon to start training at 0darkthirty so hopefully I can avoid missing training as much as I have lately. Working day of comp...may try to do it day before or day after.

Want to try the goat milk experiment but I gotta find a cheaper source than I have found. $4 a quart would get spendy. Just had 16oz. pwo though.

Steve said...

Stahl,

I felt petty fresh today as far as the lifting went, running was a little sluggish of the start but I just hit some M.WOD's, drank lots of water and upped the fish oil intake. Seemed to work for me. hope that helps?

unit said...

stahl...
body feels pretty gd 2day...
was on call this wknd... Saturday had an hr or so in the early afternoon when I ran over from work 2 the gym 2 get the wod in... after which (within 3 min of finishing) was called back in... worked till 4am, then was at work again from 8am till midnight yesterday... so... I guess it was the work/moving around that helped... my body feels pretty gd, but I do feel a smidge tired (unrelated 2 wod)... keep movin!...
~gm2

Dr Lisa said...

Yesterday did a hodge podge of wods that i have missed due to scheduling and life:

Sprint rows 30on/2:35 off x 6 no rest between 3s average was about 1:44/500m

AMRAP GHDs in one minute: 28
Amrap BS in 4 min @ 155: 18 ouch hammies hurt
Amrap DUs in 7 min: 353 Wow my work capacity sucks DUs went well but just had no juice and arms got tired fast

Did some shoulder rehab ex: powell raises, trap 3, and ext rotation courtesty of Rob C - thanks for your help Rob

Today not sure what I will do but no snatch do to shoulder

My condolensces go out to the Grider family.

Full Snatch feels way better after the Oly Clinic this weekend. 308 felt easy and was a PR for my High Bar back Squat, I'm estimating my 1rm until it is rx'd again, and bumping up on %effort.

Condolences for your loss Coach.

D. Bench press up to 90%: 95kg
+
3 rounds of
10 squat jumps
10 unbroken double unders

Going to the same comp as Martin A. Some 90% and tech work. Looong time since benching, felt better for each rep. OMissed 2 sets of DU. My biggest problem is doing them when legs are tired. And today was fitting. Pretty sore legs from yesterday (did sat on sun), but I guess the worst is yet to come OR I´ll get less sore because I kept moving like Unit said.

Martin Altemark said...

part 2:
Felt good, did sprints with sandbag.
Z1 was nice as always. Can breathe through both nostrils. Yay!

Matt said...

A. (125x2/135x2/145x1/155x1)x2

B.235 for both

C. 310 for both

Notes: Quads were nice and tight yesterday and today. Didn't think this mornings work was going to be any good but was able to work through the stiffness and get a solid strength wod in. The 1st two sets of sprints felt like I was stuck in mud but the last set was decent. For the Z1 work I rowed for 5min, ran for 10 and then rowed for another 5mins to finsh up the 20mins of work. Stretched for about 15mins afterward and now most of the soreness is gone. Ready for another solid day tomorrow.

B. 210x2, 2 sets
C. 365x1, 2 sets

Snatches felt good today. Really focused on my feet positions, drew some chalk lines and tried not to leap forward, or go too wide. Also slowed down the movement below the knees, which helped.

Snatch pulls were good.

Back squats were tough today. Really still beat up from the team challenge I was in this past weekend. 4 wods in 1 day = sore. Took yesterday off and wanted to move today.

Workouts on the weekend were good. Check them out at elementcrossfit.com.

Basically the first one included some skills plus 10 min max reps of burpees and 145lb thrusters.

2nd one had some wall scaling, and sand bag carries/squats/lunges.

3rd was deadlifting and a 1 mile run, max time 15min for total weight.

Last was a "fight gone bad" but with KB swings instead of SDHP's @ 2pd.

My team finished 6th. Felt good though!

Lars said...

Ohh and runs today were good too.

Angelo Fosco said...

Part 2:

Sprints were good....20 min z1 sucked. I am just bad at running. Until I improve I won't be able to be as compeitive as I like. It was more Z2 than Z1 probably and I ran 3600m in 20 minutes.

Paul Klein said...

A. 115/125/135/140
B. 205/205
C. 275/275

The snatches felt slow at first but got better deeper in the rounds.

Runs done on the beach in Hilton Head. Vacation week for me.

Unit, your work output inspires me.

Stahl said...

Steve, unit and others ---thanks for the tips. I'll try to keep moving.

Being a desk jockey for 10+ hours/day doesn't help recovery.

part 2
HR at finish was ~95-100 bpm. 4 km total

Have been doing split snatch for a long time and decided to suck it up and practice squat snatch. Felt really really good, first time it felt like I wasn't fighting to do the squat, and it was instead helping. Took it a bit light on the back squat, knee was bothering me the past few days. Solid training day, good to do that aerobic conditioning.

Then right into the sprints and run.

I hear what the others are saying today, very sore from the squats on Saturday. I did nothing yesterday, should have moved around more for sure. Surprisinly though, today's workout felt good. The slow run was necessary at the end for me. I have some Skins tights on the way, hoping they would be here Sat or at least today, no go. Tried to get the BSC but local guy was unresponsive to my email.

Sunday:
Fight Gone Bad - 337
Feel pretty good about this (pr is 358). Did not go 100% so as to save myself for this coming weekend. Was VERY consistent numbers wise round to round (115-110-112).

Today
Part 1:
A. 115/125/130/140 pounds
B. 195
C. 255

~3.5 hours later - Part 2:
Felt alright on sprints...think I was hitting 90% effort pretty accurately. Only 10 minutes of the Z1 run due to shin pain. 300 DU's on saturday + 115 box jumps on sunday + sprints today = no bueno. Will get myself fixed and sorted out before the comp.

H.R stayed around 150-160@10mins and 20mins

Pulled up on last 30m sprint due to sudden tightness of hamstring on start. Went ahead with z1 run to keep it loosened up. Ice bath after run and a lot of trigger point therapy going to occur tonight. Hopefully I can get it loosened up before tomorrow's training session.

DAVE X said...

Some notes from earlier:

Almost too tempted to stay in bed this morning, but resisted and had a very productinve day in the gym. Snatches felt strong and I had pop at heavier weights.

Snatch pulls felt "floaty" at the top of the pull.

Still unsure of true 1RM for back squat. The weight we used last week were way light so I guessed and slapped 315 on the bar. That's an increase of 40-50 pounds from 9/13 for that same session.

Sprints were all swift and smooth despite onlt resting 10 minuts to find my iPod.

20 min run was also swift and steady, with no breaks "out and back." JOints and legs were stiff and sore during last 20 run, today not so.

@Stahl: I too bump up my fish oils when feeling banged up. I also tend to eat just a bit more protein and fat, and ice big time. I take plunges and use ice compresses routinely. I too sit for long periods of the day, and a few months ago I bought "The Stick" and keep it in the car to roll out my muscles when they feel tight and sore. I also use a LAX ball and roll my feet.

**I am so sore today from Saturday's workout that I barely could make it through. Felt like I was ripping my A** in half on the snatches and Back Squats. I wasn't able to go 90% on the back Squat - way to sore. The sprints were slow and even during the slow run I was very uncomfortable. I wonder why I am so sore. Did anyone else have this problem during todays WOD??**

Steve Pinkerton said...

Part 2:
Sprints and run went fine. I was definately in Z1 for the run....unless there is a Z0 or Z neg-1, then it would be possible I was flirting in that range as well.

I am very sorry for your loss coach. My friends finally got me to try FRAN for the first time today. It was as bad as I thought, but I still managed to get 3:00. So I was pretty happy with that. I really think this training is paying off and I just wanted to say thank you for this blog.

Super sore this morning before warming up. Felt much better afterward, but really stiff again now. Had every intention of getting part II in this evening, but work/family life is not allowing for doubles during the week right now. As much as I could have used the running, my wife and daughter needed me more tonight.

GHExt: 3x12

6 BSq, 12 PU, 50 DU's: 4 sets; 3 min rest

Notes: 2 days off, motrin, shiatsu therapy has helped shoulder out enough I'm not as scared to dive under a snatch.  PU's blazing, BS easy, snatches were strong but one of the 95kg attempts got away from me.  Mentally and physically I was crushed on Sat/Sun.

Chris Castillo said...

Stahl-
I didn't feel fresh today glute and hams are lite up! Didn't think I'd do as well as I did today.
My diet was good yesterday and today, but Saturday was off on one meal. I had a hamburger and 2 guiness's with my family at lunch.
But i don't think that's why I felt as sore as I've felt in this program.
Like I said though, I felt good after warming up. Heel cords and knees a little sore now though. From the run and Double unders Saturday.

Part 2 subbed basketball game. Only one sub at the game, so plenty of PT and sprints.

Also very sore in the hamstrings this AM. B'ball game was great for it. When I'm sore I eat more fat (extra cashews today), drink more water, ice and most importantly keep moving.

part 1:
A. Snatch - (65% x 2, 70% x 2, 75% x 1, 80% x 1) x 2; rest 3 min
B. Snatch Pulls - 2 sets x 2 reps: rest 3 min
C. Back Squat @ 90%; 2 sets of 1 rep; rest 3 min

rest as needed

part 2:
30 m sprint @ 90%
walk back x 3
(rest 3 min b/t sets x 3 sets)

A. 125x2, 135x2, 145x1, 155x1 all x2
B. 250, 255
C. 300 high bar, 315F, 315 low bar

Part 2 Rx'd immediately after. Did not do 20 min run. 2 days of hunting after this WOD to make up for that.

Notes: First time trying high bar back squat. Felt fine at 300, 315 was a different story. Will practice this more.
