    1. And are we working to a max set, or 5 sets across? I'm assuming sets across.

  2. I'll be resting today. Did some make up work and shoulder strengthening today (wednesday). Body wants rest! See you all here on Friday.

  3. Is this designed to be done in one session or should it be done in two seperate session - a.m. strength, p.m. met-con?

  7. Got to do this at the box this morning so I set up the phone and took video of everything to self-check form. Things are too close quarters to film in the shed at home.

    1 - 135-140-145-150-155-160(F)-160

    Video showed, as suspected, I have poor turnover/lockout overhead. I don't think it's a function of not getting low enough on the catch because I nearly squat snatched it from the ground on the 2nd part of the complex. I blame long lanky arms and weak triceps. Should I start doing more snatch balances?

    2- 185-205-225 (stopped due to time)

    Same story. Plenty of "umph" but the elbows already got a little soft at 225#. I think I'm going to start holding all my jerks overhead for like a 10-count.

    3- 9+5+10

    Push-ups killed me. Had to break 6/4 after round 2. Are we seeing a trend here? Weak shoulders/triceps!!!

    4- Ran out of time.

    1. Oh, and I think the back knee was too straight on the split jerks. Any remedy for this?

      Delete
  8. Man my knee is really tender right under and to the inside on my knee cap. I researched, I think it's "jumper's knee". Does anyone have a suggestion on a quick fix? I hate taking time off.

    1. Look up patella tendinitis on mobilitywod.com

    2. My friend Jubba tweaked my squat form and boom, "jumpers knee" was gone (I had to take time off to reduce the inflammation that's been in my knee for years) a few weeks off, taking it easy.

      Ultra sound.

      Form, form form. Mobilize, foam rolling has helped a lot as well.

    3. I just got diagnosed with "jumper's knee" myself (hurt to walk up and down stairs) after dus, jumping from too high off the rope, and heavy squats all within a few days of one another. My chiro helped me stretch, and said ice 2-3 times a day and roll the heck out of your IT band, quad, and the inside of your thigh just above the knee. I took one extra rest mobility day, then just did nothing that involved squatting for 5 days (modify wods), then reintroduce air squats when you have no pain. Gradually the next week add weight. Take care of it now so it doesn't turn into more. Today was a week since I hurt it and Cindy felt good. Introducing light weights next. . . Be smart, March 6 is around the corner. Good luck.

    feeling blah .. and kinda feeling like my shoulders r just not strong enough for overhead stuff lately... think I might need to just take the rest of the week off from n e thing overhead,...
    n e one know how to tell if weakness Is from fatigue... meaning I should rest? or if weakness is from lack of strength ... meaning I should add in some more upper body stuff?

    1. Try taking 2 days off. Really OFF. Nothing but stretching and mobility

      Delete
    2. Max grip strength is a good indicator of CNS fatigue. Not for time, but for max effort.

      use something like this - http://www.heavygrips.com/strength.html

      They have different weights. Get a baseline when fresh and use it to determine if you are overtrained or just weak.

  18. ugh will thus week end already! think my CNS is fried! not from training ... from all the other crap! moving out of my WOman cave... ( doesn't sound as intriguing as Taylor's man cave) lol so I've been fitting it in where I can... going to call today a great training day... because although I didn't get to finish 3&4... I'm going to spend 30 min decompressing instead ! I can't believe I'm saying this ... but "my gym!" opens on Monday! can't wait! and I think that's prob the worst part ... just very overwhelmed!!
