DeleteDid the row at my house.
DeleteHey Jeremy.
DeleteAsking you as I dont want to bother coach with unnecessary questions...
I can keep up with the heavier wods that we are getting most of the time here, but had a horrible time at Open13.4.. Do you think we will do more of that kind of metcon when we closer to Open time? I was thinking that we are now probably doing something like the "Ha-uge" phase from previous philosophy... Anyone can answer I just see Pace's enthusiasm so picked him... Thank you
I think the programming philosophy is more geared towards what Crossfit is...we go heavy sometimes ... we go light sometimes ... we go long sometimes ... the extra work is really what is periodized IMO ... right now ... outside of the metcon we are getting stronger and we are working skills as well as speed and explosiveness ... all things that are important in getting good at this sport ... I try not to think too much about the end result and instead just focus on day by day... :)
DeleteYes I guess I got caught up in one bad wod. Thank you Cheryl!!
DeleteI am improving all round tho... Thanx again :)
By the way I'm not questioning the programming. I love this blog and wont ever train any other way.
DeleteHey brother, agree with Cheryl said. Also, look at that workout in the context of almost 9 months worth of programming. It's just one workout. I bet we are going to cycle in some of the old Open wods here and there and based on the fact that he is trying to get folks ready for competition I bet there are workouts with similar time domains, loading etc like we see in the Open.
DeleteI am right there with you on the 13.4, the PC+J are no problem but TTB have always given me problems. In the attempt to become well rounded we are going to see workouts where we are the hammer and some where we are the nail. I keep up with your stats and I don't think you have anything to worry about, just keep working hard.

2. Finally got to try the new stones, just picked them up over and over to get used to the transition...no hammers yet.
3. 6:17 RX, wasn't really sure I would be able finish this but once I got going I knew it would happen. Very happy with this since my DL is not great.
4. 4:16, did this about 5 minutes after above, maybe should have spaced it out a little better.
5. Sit-ups done, surprisingly harder than expected.
Today was a great day, great programming with a great training buddy made for a fantastic training session.

2. No really odd things at the gym so I did some heavy ass prowler pushes.
3. 6:12 not Rx. I did 120 singles per round. I am sad to say that, after 18 months of doing this, I still do not have double unders. I got through the Open 13.3 workout by doing a single/double routine, but I was advised to abandon that. My inability to pick these up is like a big, open wound.
4. 4:21
5. Done not for time
check out gymnasticswod.com! he has a few drills on there that I think really help...
Deleteone more thing mike-
what kind of jump rope are u using... I have had the most success teaching newbies double unders with an RX Jumprope.... make sure you start with a thicker rope and progress down to a thinner one... yes this is more shoulder taxing but better for your timing :)
Cheryl,
DeleteThanks for the tips. I have a Rouge SR-1 rope. Is there a specific RX Rope you recommend or are they all the same?
Thanks again!

Going up to NH for the weekend, you Competitors Stay Strong my friends!

ReplyDelete1. 9:15 rx double unders beat me up today none were ub
2. wrist got a bit sore on 2nd set of muscle ups so I went to 5 CTB dead hangs
I warmed up a bit more today and I feel that it helped. Also have been following coaches cool down.
Hey gang!
ReplyDeleteIt's been awesome to see what everyone has been accomplishing on here and how much the comp wod community is growing. I'll tell you guys first hand what most of you already know- Ben is the best coach in the world. Not that it's all about the games, but CFNE has been on the podium in 3 of the last 4 years at the games on Sunday, and the only constant other than my old body has been Ben Bergeron. He is the man. If you want to get better, just do exactly as he says. Easy as that!
I've been out since the games doing modified stuff- shoulders are banged up and I think I have 2 mri's in my future
Anyway, did the open wod today (purple drank with burpees) -6:18
Have a great weekend!
D
Stoked to see ya posting again, heal up bud! Was always stoked to see your numbers last year!
DeleteWow man its real cool to see you post and thank you for the awesome inspiration!!
DeleteIm a big fan of Ben and the whole team!! Thanx again Derek! Will do just that and follow the program religiously. Hope to visit CFNE one day from South Africa. Hope you heal quick and make your 8th Games.
amen, D. watching you guys this year at the games, and everyday at the gym is such a huge testament to the credibility of sticking to this program... and serious inspiration to train hard. so lucky to have that.
DeletePs if you haven't seen it yet check out the CFNE site and Montoya's 250# snatch. What what?!?!
ReplyDeleteSaw that so impressive! Definitely agree with all the above. Great community, in Ben we trust!
Delete1) 185 Across
ReplyDelete2) Nothing really odd to play with at home. Thought about cutting down the tree in my yard, but really wasn't sure how long that was going to take, haha! Did Parallete HSPU work, 5x Max reps with a 35# and an Ab Mat, which only turned out to be 3 or 4 each time, but I'm good with that as there is normally 2 plates there. Handstand stuff is getting wayyyyyyyyy better.
3) 7:14. Really enjoyed this one, a 315# DL sounds innocent enough, surround it by a bunch of other stuff and put a clock on it, whole new bear.
4) 7:01 on the air-dyne, no rower at home. This was kinda slow, but my quads were just on fire. Probably from yesterday.
5) 3:31. Okay with this, really don't remember the situps the last time I did Annie. It's been like a year and a half, so I think that's an okay time.
All in all, good day.
good to here from u Derek !! stay young my friend :) heal those shoulders!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheryl! Good to see you back too!
DeleteWon't be able to post tomorrow. Weddings far away today and tomorrow. WIll probably try to do the speed work, some gymnasty goat stuff and mobility sunday.
