    Looking for some advice... I'm struggling a bit with following the programming now. There's weaknesses I need to be working on. ( I dont have muscle ups yet, i suck at chest to bars, i'd like to work on my butterflies more, i'm pretty terrible at high rep ring dips...) So do I add more gymnastics sessions in or replace some movements? Example would be last week instead of doing the deadlifts 5x5 i spent 20 minutes doing T2B and now I can link them unbroken, success! I've been following since August steady and deffinitly don't want to quit now. I'm so thankful i've come across this programming and thankful for Ben's dedication and time spent on this site. Looking forward to seeing it through to the end of the season.

      Scale where you have to, just keep working to the best of your ability. Give the program a full year, and you will be where you want to be right now - http://competitorswod.blogspot.com/p/programming-philosophy.html

      I work my weaknesses where I can, either before or after the WOD session. For me they're muscle- ups Ii want to do a strict one), overhead squats/snatches (although there's plenty of those in this program), double unders (have gotten much bstter). Sometimes I skip certain movements, when my body tells me it needs rest in those areas. Sometimes I even take full days off from this program and I'll work goats. Trying to keep up with the animals on here keeps me motivated. Follow the best you can, but listen to your body!

    Decided to start with the met-con today but it kind of back-fired because I just warmed up for an extended time beforehand.

    2- only made it through the 15's at 30:50 before being called into the house for daughter duty. I was staring down a 35-40 minute time.

    Cons: taking forever, and I had to break FS which I didn't expect

    Pros: kipping HSPU are getting better, did at least 3x power cleans at a time, pull-ups felt decent. I guess I was just resting longer between my sets. Def wanted to finish this one regardless of time but baby comes first.

    Good luck everyone! I expect some sub-20's, maybe even sub-15 from some of you animals!

    No jerks
    Wod-23:22
    1 mi jog cooldown
    Shoulder stuff

    As a side note, I've been taking a pre workout drink (muscle pharm assault), and its pretty good when doing some lifting before a metcon but I took it right before the metcon today and felt awful. My heart rate was so jacked up right from the get go and I couldn't regulate it. Spent a lot of time staring at the bar waiting for it to go down. More important than the impact on my workout, it freaked me out a little bit. Obviously we are all competitive but we need to remember that we do this stuff to be healthy and fit. Personally, I'm taking some time off of this stuff and am going to focus on just getting more sleep. Just my two cents...

      It's funny you mention this because I just bought a tub of ON's Ami.N.O. Energy stuff and took my first dose this morning before the workout. I definitely felt a little "off" in my belly the entire warm-up and it almost gave me a weird buzz. I'm going to give it a few tries before making a decision on it because I'm hoping it was just the first exposure that made me feel so strange.

      I've tried a few different pre workouts. My opinion is some of them did allow me to do more work which in turn gave me better times/ loads. The discrepancy I see with them is having to rely on them. Once every 1-2 weeks, ok, daily? I wouldn't.

      I drink a cup of black coffee on an empty stomach in the morning, it just get's me going a little bit. I even cycle coffee as weird as that may sound and I don't drink it on rest days.

    2. I almost convinced myself to do it with 165 but I'm glad I didn't my legs are so sore right now.

    Time- 20:51

    3. 6:05 to complete, first set 30sec

    2. Kyle McDFebruary 28, 2013 at 9:44 AM

      haha yes. The HSPU's took under 2 minutes, same with the sit ups and even less for the pull ups. So that's 6ish minutes for those 3 movements, meaning it took roughly 15 minutes between the PC's and FS. FS were taken from the rack.

      president nutrition is def different for everyone.... sometimes my best wods are fine fasted ... other times I eat around 12 ... train around 2... most important thing for me is to not eat in the hour before I workout .. I don't like the way it feels.... another suggestion is some type of preworkout drink... not necessarily "energy drink"... but something with some bcaas a little protein and some simple carbs?... just a thought
