Any tips on timing for coming back after illness? I am anxious to get back in, but I typically push it too hard too soon and make myself worse. Don't want to do that now and miss more time.

Bear said...

Glad to hear that it was so successful! Martin and I and a few other dawgs are competing in Stockholm 13/11, the Swedish CrossFit Cup: http://www.crossfitnordic.se/event/crossfit-sm-2010/

Stahl, it´s probably different for everybody but I always try to ease my way into it and not go from 0 to 100% and not worrying too much about weights and sets, and I´m especially careful when coming to aerobic activity.

A1 110-115-120-125-140 kg
A2 7,7,7,6,5 reps (8.5 kg, strict)
B1 5 kg plate in front of me
B2 fail (skipping rings), 1, 1, 2 reps on floor
C 11, 3, 7, 2, 2 sec on floor

Started out way to easy on the CGDL, 3 reps on all. No weight belt or west so a dumbbell between the legs which prevented kipping. No KBs, but managing to do that many pistols without holding my foot is BIG improvement. Had a RHSPU set up, but it was seriously dangerous, had a try and skipped it, but as it turned out my shoulders where fried from yesterday. Should´ve just done handstands+some eccentric work. L-sits was just embarissing, thought I had at least 20 sec on first ;)

Stahl; go easy, I have lost heaps over a week, so be kind to yourself!

A1: 110,130,135,140,145 (ran out of weight)
A2: 7,9,9,9,9 (10kg)
B1: 12kg, for first set, then 5kg for the last 3 sets
B2: Ha ha ha ha! On floor, 5 reps all 4 rounds

C: 17,22,19,20,21

Nice to be back after 16 days in Greece. Feel refreshed and ready to tackle some workouts.

Didn't do any training while away, just lots of hiking, swimming, and sleeping.

A1. 275x3 - 2 sets, 295x3 - 3sets
A2. 13,10,10,10,10 + 30lb vest
B1. 16 no kb x 3 sets,16 w 8kg KB
B2. 2 x 4 sets
C. 10 sec x 5 sets

Deadlifts felt terrible on my lower back. Might be part of the 14hrs on a plane yesterday or the super hard beds in Greece, but it's been sore for awhile now.

Ring dips felt great.

Pistols felt suprisingly good, but worse with a KB.

HSPU's felt terrible and weak.

L sits didn't feel great either, partly because of low back being sore.

Up and down day, but good to be back.

B1. 12kg x 8/leg x 4
B2. 1,2,1,2
C. 30s,20s,15s,12s,11s

Deads felt very strong. No break in back position at all. Hook grip throughout.

Ring dips strict.

Pistols games standard with a few hiccups on each set.

First time attempting Ring HSPU. Had to play around for a while to get in them. Next is figuring out how to use legs for assistance as opposed to legs fighting against me and creating friction the whole time. Anxious to try these fresh.

L-sits done on 6" parallettes and terminated once feet touched floor.

OPT said...

stahl, it only takes one hard nail to finish someone's coffin..the fact you are asking means you are aware...so listen to that gut instinct
immune system drop takes weeks to get to "unbeatable" again...but still ask the question why was my immune system compromised in the 1st place

BK said...

Marcus!
Are they the Elite Longs that have ripped at the seam, or the earlier model?
Contact me at bsc@crossfitperformance.com

A1: 315x3,365x3,385x1(lost the 2nd grip),365x3,365x2
A2. 4,4,3,3,3 (40 # vest)
B1: 35 ,35,35,35
B2: 1(head to floor off 45's),3,3,3(hands on floor)
C:20 sec,15,15,15,15

Never given the ring HSPU even an attempt and would be on major struggle street anyway at this stage.
Weighed myself at OPT Sat and suprisingly 208! Comp in 30 days , dropping 8 -10 pounds

C. 11 (floor), 6 (floor), 15 (parallettes), 14 (p), 11 (p)

Felt weak all over. Couldn't even get up over rings to start a rep on second round forward. L-sits was tragic. Taking tomorrow off.

Rudy Tapalla said...

A1. 275x3,295x3,315x3,315x2,315x2

5-6-4-4-4 reps
B1.Only 5kg plate (which is easier than nothing..)because a pain in my shoulder. All reps easy.
B2.Eccentric HSPU against wall 3 reps.
c.Nothing - a joke. My abs were sore even before yesterdays training, and today they cramped after 1 sec.

But i´m happy anyway and looking forward till tomorrow´s WoD

Michael said...

A1. 275, 305, 325, 335, 345

Low back was tight yesterday and today.
L-sit felt terrible, bent knee; please more consistent work on this.

Sean LeFloch said...

A1 315#,325#,335#,340#,345#(1)
A2 12,13,12,12,10 reps (20# weight vest, on tempo)
B1 Standard pistols (So terrible it these)
B2 6,5,7,7 (on tempo, no kip)
C 15,10,12,15,11 (on parallettes)

My overhead squat and my failure to hit pistols and definitely correlated. But why? Could it be ankle flexibility, or maybe tight iliopsoas/flexors.....or both?

Drew said...

A1.245/260/275/290/305 all for 3

B2.2/3/3/3
C.20s/18s/21s/15s/11s

Started out to light on deads.
HSPU done on 6" boxes with head to floor. Tried on rings during warm up and almost killed myself.
L-sits done on 6" boxes

Yesterday's WOD

A) all unbroken but did hang power snatch @115 because pulling the weight from the ground brought back the headache. Felt pretty easy and was able to rep them all out @ the hang with problem.

Subbed row @ 80-85% averaged 400 meters.

B) push press was easy. Burpee broad jumps were a no go so I just continued rowing at the same 80-85% pace.

The 5 sets of knees to elbows and push ups were pretty easy and took about 6 minutes.

I did the push ups with the games standard "hand release".

My right Eustachian tube is clogged and is what's giving me the terrible headaches. Hopefully it will be gone soon so I can do these wods as RX'd.

Saw deadlifts, pistols, dips and HSPU's and really wanted to do this one today but am just sticking to being a day behind.

Feel pretty good about today. Focused on keeping perfect posture on the cln dl's. Stoked to get up to 16kg on pistols, although my chest started to dip in the later reps of that set - not good. Have a 3 1/2 pound grass fed roast in the oven that I can't wait to dig into tonight...

Stahl said...

Thanks, Coach. I definitely don't want to make it worse - just always tough to sit on the sidelines and feel like I'm losing the gains I've made.

I definitely know why I became vulnerable and my immune system dropped: stress has been through the roof with work, side business, kids got sick, and I'm trying to coordinate my family's cross-country move.

Kind of a lethal cocktail to the immune system, or another version of that SNL skit "Bad Idea Jeans."

David said...

A1. 3 each @ 287, 298, 309, 320. 331
Clean grip (double overhand) but no hook.
A2. 10, 9, 9, 7, 7 with 20 lb vest.

B1. BW, 8kg, 8kg, 12kg. First time doing weight pistols, sure it wasn't pretty but it went.
B2. The last time I tried ring hspu I nearly killed myself, had burn marks on my legs for a week. So, with a 20lb vest, against the wall:
1,1,2,1.

C. 32, 23, 20, 13, 13.

B1. BW/8kg/8kg/8kg for 8 reps, BW for last 8
B2. 3/3/3/3 rings about 6" off ground
C. 9/8/10/9/9 on rings

Deads felt great. First time with unassisted pistols. Can improve alot. Also first time with ring HSPU. Took awhile to figure out how to get up, but really happy that I gave it a shot. Proved that I can do two things I didn't think I could with pistols and the rings today.

So, in regards to the abstract, are we left to gather that post-exercise nutrition (resistance training) ratios should be less than 75% C but more than 6%? What is biggest fact to gain from this info? How would the ratios apply after a good bout with Cindy?

OPT said...

sean lefloch, post a video of both your OHS and pistol and lets have a look at the issues...

stahl, bad idea jeans - funny shit

geoff, it depends on too many factors, height, weight, how many rounds one does, gender, is it in a competition or just a workout day, lifestyle...etc...the idea behind the post is to see the population it was done on an use the info as needed when applied to that group...most interesting were the findings on WHR which i usually see as cortisol/insulin/estrogen management areas...

Danny Davis said...

A.1. 275,295,335,355,375 all 3 rep/rnds.

C. Parrellettes 31,20,25,19,14sec.

unit said...

geoff- also, the study looked at the response after maximal eccentric contractions... though the abstract doesn't say how the performed that loading or the number of times loaded, other than bicep/triceps were involved... I'd presume it'd ignite a different or similar but slightly different metabolic response if a different muscle loading strategy was performed (ie Cindy) or if different muscle groups were involved (quads/hamstrings)... just some thoughts...

WOD
A1- 315/ 365/ 365/ 385/ 400(1)
A2- 90lb- 8/ 6/ 6/ 5/ 5
B1- 20/ 20/ 20/ 30
B2- 5/ 4/ 4/ 4
C- :12/ :10/ :14/ :14/ :13

form went 2 $#!+ after the first DL at 400 so stopped... 385 felt pretty gd...
haven't done weighted pistols before... but found them easier than regular pistols... I think I may have a balance issue that I use the weight 2 counter balance... hopefully will video sometime for some pointers/suggestions...
