ReplyDeleteQuestion re: Thursday programming, 5x1 Heavy? Or what %?
ReplyDeleteFor the CJ, 5x1 across - heaviest weight you can get for five singles without missing.
Delete1. 165#
ReplyDelete2. 255# (85%)
3. 8:31 (target time 8:30)
Monday-
ReplyDelete1- 160 (if I had to bet, I'd say I was catching just above parallel, so technically power snatches)
2- 275 every 0:30 for 5:00
3- Short on time today, lots of Santa errands to do!
What's the run equivalent of a 2k row?
ReplyDeleteI'd say 1.5 miles should for it
DeleteNew to the program, starting today. Just a question about mondays wod, are the front squats ascending or are they across at a fixed weight. Thanks in advance and thank you for the programing.
ReplyDelete1) 185 across
ReplyDelete2) 275x2, 285x3, 295x1, 300x2, 305x1, 315x1...Hit 325 but depth was questionable, hit parallel but may not have gone below, 20lbs PR buzzkill
3) did not do the Row, had fun with my community and did the 12 days of christmas WOD
**Merry Christmas To ALL you savages**
Did Xmas eve wod at my box...29:06...I hate burpees
ReplyDelete10 Turkish Get-up (Each arm) (53lb)
20 Ground-to-Overhead 185
30 Knees to Elbows
40 Walking Lunges (Each Leg)
50 Burpee
20 Walking Lunges (Each Leg)
15 Knees to Elbows
10 Ground-to-Overhead 185
5 Turkish Get-up (Each arm) 53lb
32yo m, 5'9 207lbs
1. 135. Across. Changing grip position-going wider. I think this will help my snatch -felt better in the squat for sure
ReplyDelete2. 165/185/295/225/245/255/265/275/285-pr/295-miss, barely.
3. Subbed sdhp, 6:43 (200reps)
Monday
ReplyDelete1. Snatches- went heavy since my volume hasn't been very high with flu etc. worked on split snatches. Worked up to 215# split snatch pr. Stopped there -wanted to end on a high note. Still 30# below snatch or but I'm psyched about this. These will be much better on my shoulder and I have a ton of upside to this number
2. 275-325. Felt solid
3. Check
Merry Christmas to everyone and your families. God Bless you all.

Wasnt sure if going heavier for the fs on a deload type of week was a good idea, so kept it to a certain %age, but after seeing all your numbers I should have. Or there is no right or wrong approach in a deload week?

Thursday 12/27/12
ReplyDeleteM/22/150#
1) 220#... Good weight for the clean, jerks were a little off today
2) 275#... Definitely not my 3RM, but was a good weight for this week
3) 4:18.. Got hung up on last set of MU's
Did my thrusters at 120# instead of RX because my female training partners felt 115 was to light compared to their 80#
Delete1. 255#
ReplyDelete2. 285#...not very heavy but good for today
3. 5:32. MUs crushed me this morning.
1) 255#...Still having extreme difficulty getting under the bar..have video of some of my misses at 265 and the bar is literally chest high and I cannot drop under it...open to any and all suggestions for help with this.
ReplyDelete2) 305#
3) 4:07....Had a plan for this one, I knew I probably wouldnt do all the muscle ups unbroken so I just hit 3s and dropped, shook it out, and hopped back up...all thrusters unbroken. Happy with this.
1. 145 power clean and push jerk... stayed lighter to work on jerk position
ReplyDelete2. 185 at moderate weight
3. 7:35- muscle ups got ugly!
12/27/12

ReplyDelete2. 325
3. After the cleans, and having rested the past two days, I am getting a very bad "ache" and "weakness" in my elbows and shoulders to the point that at times it hurts to pick up a 10 lb plate. If i take some Advil I feel pretty good. In any event, I am wondering if any if you have any experience with similar issues and what the protocol might be. It is really frustrating!!(today was not the first day this happened)
hey there! check out mobilitywod.com episode 223 I believe ... talks about elbow pain and fixing the rack position! no personal experience with that kind of issue... but Kelly starett is the man! :) hope this helps!
DeleteI will def check that out. Thanks!
DeleteMark,
DeleteI've had CrossFit elbow for about a month now. I have two suggestions....hopefully they will start working for both of us.
1. Order the Voodoo Floss Bands from Rogue and take a look at the Kelly Starett demo video. Use before and after workouts, or whenever you have time. It works better to have someone twist/stretch your arm and forearm with the floss band on.
2. Buy some dixie cups, fill them with water, and put them in the freezer. Use them to ice your elbow/shoulder several times a day. It is a much better tool (because of the massage aspect) than simply putting an ice pack on the localized area. I have been grabbing a towel, putting my elbow on it, and just laying on the couch and icing it down for about 7-10 minutes at a time or until the ice is all melted away.
If you have already done this, I apologize for the redundancy. Best of luck. Let me know if you find anything else out there. I feel your pain....no pun intended.

ReplyDelete2. 9:52 rx'd.
6 rounds then died 15 seconds before time was up hahah.. Didn't have 30 inch box but the bar I was holding for TTB was really thick so I think that made up for it because I kept flying off of it even with an alternating grip
ReplyDelete6:13 did it with 400 meter row instead all the treadmills were taken. Everything unbroken felt great
AMRAP8- 4 Rds(120 Reps) 20# ball didnt have 30#

ReplyDelete2. 6:10 RXd
I got in a car accident this morning, my two little cousins that follow this blog were with me. My cousin, Dwight, was knocked out. He got a cat scan and him, as well as me and my other cousin Hannah are 100% okay! I have two things to thank. First, God for extending his mercy ad grave to keep us safe! Second, our physical fitness from crossfit to keep us strong and injury free!
DeleteGuys this life is very fragile. We could be here one minute and gone the next. By no means do I ever want to push my faith on someone, but by no means do I ever want to deny someone the priveledge of knowing his love. If anyone wants to know more just look me up on facebook and I would love to talk to you!
WOD hard, Love harder!!
Taylor- thank God you and your family are ok.
DeleteI had a similar incident earlier this year when I was hit by a car during a wod. Walked away without a scratch. Definitely the grace of God that protected me that day. Good for your for recognizing the same and not being afraid to say so.
Thanks Derek!
Delete1. 5rds + 16 = 166 reps
ReplyDelete2. 6:17 rxd

ReplyDelete2)11:30 315# buried me. Proud of the 4-3 rep scheme I was able to keep. 315# was 90%a of my last max.
Im a masters competitor who just started your programming dec 1st
great to have another master's athlete boyce! I've really enjoyed this site and have found it very beneficial
DeleteSick! no wod today :/
ReplyDeleteOkay so yesterday ended badly....part one...1 round +10 wall balls +3 box jumps + trip to the e.r. and 22 stitches :( I have no idea why or how this happened. Seriously thought it was going to be a little bump. Ugh this just really sucks...so this week and next week are going to be a nightmare...someone is trying to tell me something. The worst part is, I felt fine...not sluggish or tired...feeling recovered...best i ever felt about that 20# wall ball! But thats when sh*t happens right? Ugh Happy New Year to me! Going to have to nurse this bad boy!
ReplyDeleteAmazing how CrossFit changes you though, i think i was more upset about what this would do to my training for the next 2 weeks (which i was ready to get back into!) than the actual pain.
Ah well...Hoping I will be able to modify this week and next...guess i will building a stronger upper body!
