ReplyDeleteCoach Ben, blocks above the knee so bar would be mid thigh? Is this correct?
ReplyDeleteSet up the blocks so the bar is just above the knee.
DeleteLast time we did this with the bar literally right above the knee so lower than mid thigh. Here is a good demo video

Hi Mike, that's how I remember we did last time.
DeleteThanks guys...going to get after it!
How much recivery time is needed after a competition? I did one this weekend. (Best finish ever-6th.)
ReplyDeleteWay to go Dex!
DeleteTo many variables to have a set time. Number of events, type of events, how well you recover, etc. just go with what your body tells you.
Deletewhat is the point with the Zercher Squat?
ReplyDeletewhy not just do the front squat?
Less compressional force on the spine. Also helps with really activating your posterior chain. Safe and deep squats.
ReplyDeleteSpent quite a bit of time working on snatch instruction with my workout partner so I had to trim the workload today.
ReplyDelete1 - got 165 for 2 singles but both times my right knee caved and I had to stand it up from there. This has been happening quite a bit around this weight and I don't know what's up. Maybe I'm not staying in my heels throughout the pull. Definitely landing with the weight in the balls of my feet or even worse.
3 - 6:31 but I subbed strict pull-ups for CTB due to lack of head space in the shed gym.

ReplyDeleteb) 175
2) Umm 255 and it was either really ugly or exactly right...couldn't tell. Judging by the looks of others at the box...super ugly
3) 5:54. I need a little advice. This has happened a few times this past week and then again today. 80% through I lose it. Not wind just kind of lose the strength. I know the weight isn't too much, I know I have the capacity I just don't have anything left. Push through it and come out better or rest and come out more refreshed? I realize its difficult to do from afar but if anyone has a thought I'm looking for advice. Thanks...
hey cole...so I may not be tge best person to ask because I have been there before ... plenty of times... and In my opinion it really is individualized based on how u feel mentally just as much as physically ... even if your body feels "ok" your CNS system could be fried... I recommend personally taking a couple of days of " what makes you feel good" wods... snd hit then at a lower intensity ... or even get outside and do something else... biking/hiking / running with a weight vest or something ... just get yourself in the "mood" to push through again...I personally think that works for me ... if that doesn't work try to work on changing the goal of your workout... for instance ... instead of hitting this wod as fast as possible... maybe aim for "straight sets"... just to maybe change the stimulus a little ... then there is always rest lol
DeleteThanks Cheryl, I appreciate the help!
DeleteMy right Jan is still pretty swollen and painful to use but I got to do something.
ReplyDelete1. Snatch. Light weight. The pull hurts but the catch feels good. Grip strength sucks, could barley put a clamp on the bar with one hand. Worked up to 80kg for the singles. 70kg on the doubles.
2. First time with these...225-275- 275...felt heavy going down but up was easy. I'll push it more next go round.
3. C2b is a no go. Strict pull ups instead. 5:58
That's my right hand*
Deleteshit day!

I am a couple days behind the scheduled programming, but it lets me see how you all do before I hit the WODs. Very impressive work from everyone here.
ReplyDeleteJust curious, any of you following this program at home and doesn't belong to a box? That's my situation and motivation to push hard is definitely tough on my own. You guys are my benchmarks to chase after. Thank you for that!
I'll be hitting this WOD on Wednesday...
I train in my garage brother!
DeleteHow long have you been crossfitting? Have you joined a box in the past? I have been doing Crossfit for a year on my own, mostly following the HQ programming. At the time there was no box near me, so i bought/built my equipment for my garage/backyard gym. Competed in the Open last year and was highly humbled and got hooked. I saw Ben Bergeron's lecture about periodization and training for the games in August. So I started adding strength work in September, using mostly wendler's 5/3/1 and conjugate system. Found Comp WOD in December just before Xmas and started following. Now you all are my "community" and I am hoping to glean some motivation and feedback from you all.
DeleteCurious as to everyone's background and journey. Thanks all!
BTW, I am 6'0" 205lb 36yo.
Bout a year and a half. Nope always been in my garage! Started off with metal plates in the grass and homemade everything!
DeleteI found CF about 5.5 years ago and learned very quickly that I was way behind in the strength game so I've spent about half the time since then doing pure strength cycles (Starting Strength twice, 5-3-1, CF Football Amateur SWOD, and custom programming). I did everything in my basement/yard for the first 2 years. When we bought a house it put me much closer to a box so I joined, but only on a limited attendance membership because I had already made the investment in equipment at home. We've since had our first child and time is a factor, so I train in my shed 3-4x a week and at the box 1-2x a week, always at 5:15 AM (except Saturday).
DeleteI didn't play any high school or college sports so I never had a good strength & conditioning program. Wasted a ton of time in college doing magazine routines though.
Garage warriors unite! Thanks for the feedback fellas. Inspiring to know you guys are out there battling. Taylor, you are a strong mofo especially or your size! Sheldon, amazing work and your numbers are telling of your hard work. Hoping I can stick with it as long as you have. I am assuming you guys are competing in the open this year - you're gonna kill it!
