"When am I gunna get ha-uge?"
Last time we did ME GHR's I could barely walk for a couple of days!! I'm training like a race horse so it will get done!!!
ReplyDeleteHey folks. Took a week off from the getting huge program. Felt like I needed it AND we launched our first paleo challenge at Reebok CrossFit St. Thomas and had a week of "girls" as baselines in conjunction with it. So I thought it best to do those as well. Here's where I landed:
ReplyDeleteCindy - 26 +14 (roughly same as PR)
Grace - 2:47 (first time doing)
Nancy - 12:46 (first time doing)
Isabel - 2:54 (first time doing)
1 RM DL - 435 (30# PR)
Back to getting huge this week. That's some top rope sh%t on AJ... and hilarious.
Squat clean for this?
ReplyDeletePower Clean.
ReplyDeleteBs-345x5, 395x1, 345x1x5. Hip still tweaky. Felt better but didn't want to push it. I want 405x5 next time!
ReplyDeleteGwen- FAIL at 185. Not even close- had to break every set. Doubtful I could have even matched precious pr at 175 after the squats.
Go get em, MDV!
BS: 305#*5, had more
ReplyDeleteBS: 335# 5*1 new one rep PR, hit 5 times
Gwen: 145# Rx, next time will push heavier
GHDs: 20,15,skipped
Good day
1. BS 5RM - 310#
ReplyDelete2. BS 5x1 - 340# only 1 rep. felt something pulling in the left quad, so I decided it was smart to leave that alone....don't need any injuries!
3. "Gwen" - 155# rx'd. Got a really nice belch at the end. :)
4. GHR - 10/10/10 on the floor with the green band.
M/35/180/5'10"
If I got any bigger, I would be competing in the Arnold Classic.

What's the best and safest way to determine "heavy" for those power clean? if my squat clean and jerk PR is 135 would 95lb be too light? Thanks!

ReplyDelete2. 5x1 @ 225# first 3 were easy, last 2 were definitely a little less clean
3. Gwen @ 115# in 9:20 PR!
4. 3x30....i keep telling myself I need to either add weight or i must be doing something wrong...they def fatigue my hamstrings, but i never feel like i have to stop...kinda like doing airsquats? does that make sense.
Yes, it makes sense to me Cheryl bc I did 3x30+ last time and I feel the same way. However, I could barely walk for a day or after doing that but seeing your post lets me know to keep going next time as I only did 3x15 today!
DeleteBS 5x280 PR
ReplyDeleteBS2 2x1x300, 3x1x310
Need to do the rest after classes.
Cheryl, Mel saw me doing the GHR and told me to do them as strict- slow controlled to just to parallel and back up w/ no kip to bounce back up. That slowed me way down. You may already be doing them that way, but just passing it on. Nice job on your Gwen pr!
ReplyDeleteNot a great day of training overal. Felt tired and no pop from poor nutrition and drinking over the weekend. Mentally drained on "Gwen"
ReplyDelete1. 315

1. 165 :(
ReplyDelete2. 185
3. First round got 8@115 then 12@105 9@105
Does anyone have recommendations for wods like Gwen or Grace with hook grip? Like keep the hook through the jerk or just get a stronger grip so it's ok that you can't rehook? Thank you so much!
I've been wondering the same thing. Good question!
DeleteI've been wondering the same thing. Good question!
DeleteI kept the hook grip the whole time... Tried to reset position in the overhead and tried to work on quick transition from the floor...but kept hook grip the whole time.. That wod would have been impossible without it! Lol ... I also focus on making sure that when I start... My pinky is really wrapped tight
DeleteThank you Cheryl!

Britt, my gym doesn't have one either. If you search "glute ham raises with barbell" on youtube, you can find a modified way of doing them. Ive, also, used a seated calf raise machine to do them in the past.
