If you do not have sand bags available, what do you recommend as a proper substitute?
ReplyDeleteThanks
I am going to take an old duffel bag and put smaller plates in it. Not optimal but it gets the job done.
DeleteI will be using 3-4 20# Med Balls in a Large (football/hockey) Duffel Bag...Not exactly the same, but works
ReplyDeleteThree total rockstars- love this pic of these great men.
ReplyDeleteIs there a Reason why the Regional Athlets do theyr METCON at the End and the Openers at the Beginning?
ReplyDeleteRead the programming philosophy. It will answer your question.
DeleteThanx Josue, had only read the FAQ´s. My mistake. It answers all my Questions :)
DeleteNice Weekend! #earnednotgiven
1. Speed Work
ReplyDelete4 x 400m on the 3 minutes- Kept each interval under 1:30, most were in the 1:20-1:24 range.
2. Pulls
A: Rack Pulls
work up to a 3RM - Work gym only has 300 lbs, so I used a band from the rack. Worked up to 255 plus a doubled over black band from Rogue. Out of the rack it felt like 350-370ish, at the top it felt like 400-420ish
B: Super Squats
4 x 8 - Used 135 across, Hamstrings are on fire.
3. Metcon
3 RFT:
200m Sandbag Run, 80/60
20 Sandbag Squats, 80/60
No sandbag, took a medium sized ruck and threw all the plates in there I could, only added up to 40 lbs which was a bummer. 4:51
MU's are a goat so I will be at the gym later to do the OTM work and some handstand work.

ReplyDelete1. 1:14, 1:16, 1:18, 1:14, these all felt faster than they actually were.
2. Pulls: worked up to 405, never done before, also never lifted that much weight in my life. Happy with first attempt, even though not great.
3. Squat Complex: 135, 165, 185, 185 felt good with low bar.
4. Used two 40lb sandbags, made for awkward carries. 6:41
crossing my fingers that the "31 Heroes" WOD will be on here tomorrow so I won't be deviating from programming :)
Anyone else doing 31 Heroes tomorrow?

As my own Penalty for the 7 missed MU-Attempts i did 7 Rounds of 3 Strict-Pullups + 3 Strict-Bardips
DeleteWhat if we do the Open programming and we know our squat form is great (even for OHS), can we add a little weight? How do you scale this one UP?
ReplyDeleteTry this, face the wall with your feet together (toes and heels touching) and your toes touching the wall. Extend your arms over head, thumbs touching and no bend in your elbows. Now squat ass to grass.
DeleteIf you can compete 3-5 reps - then your OHS form is great. Congrats. Send me a video and I'll post it. Till then, your OHS is not "great" keep working.

ReplyDelete1. Had to go buy cat food, so I bought a 50 lb bag and used it for the WOD. I definitely looked like a weirdo running up and down my neighborhood with that on my back. 7:06.
2. I did 1 MU every 2 minutes (5 total). I did squat therapy, too -- but I just didn't do it on the "otm x 12." I did 6 rounds of 5 per round with toes up against a wall. Still working on pulling higher and waiting to transition in the MU to make it better - they aren't very pretty - and I would rather work on making my technique better at this point.
I have a major competition on October 5/6, and I NEED to get these together by then. Working on them every single day, multiple times per day. Cheryl has been AWESOME in giving me tips/tricks - but if anyone else has anything they think I can do, let me know. I have been doing progressions for bar muscle-ups, too (haven't been able to get one of those yet).
Haha awesome substitution
DeleteAgreed, awesome sub!
DeleteI would really work on strengthening ring rows and dips...once those are easy it's all about the kip and grip...today felt real good for me really focused on looking up during pull and allowing my body to get parallel with ground until transition point...
DeleteMy two cents ;)
Open/Masters (43)
ReplyDelete1) 7:02 (4x20# Med balls in a Football Equip. bag)
2) MU & Sqt Th ~ 5/5 - 5/5 - 5/5 - 5/5 - 5/5 - 4/5
That last round of MU got me a couple weeks ago as well...
Great programming...Thanks for the time and effort that you put into this coach! It is appreciated!

ReplyDelete1. All between 1:42 and 1:48. Area that I run is closer to 500m and has a decent hill to climb.

2. Didn´t do exact OTM cause I had to focus on getting the MU´s correct. 2 weeks ago i managed to do 6 MU´s and today none :(
8:49. I wore 40-50ish pounds of weightvests and carried the heaviest sandbag I have. Probably a little heavy, but that's cool.

ReplyDelete2) We didn't have a rack to work with and honestly didn't feel safe trying to do this from the pins on our squat racks, so I did a 3RM DL, stopping at the floor, no TnG. #385.
3) 135 across, had a lot of room to run on this, but kept it safe with the GM.
4) 8:39. My legs were fine, but daggon my shoulders and neck were on fire.

Brand new to the site this week.
ReplyDeleteIve been playing around with Crossfit/Gym Jones for the past year by myself but have decided to give the sport of Crossfit a legit go and this place seemed like the best way to do it. Currently work out in my garage but plan on joining a box around here soon and when I can afford it. Im in the Oakland County Michigan area if anyone knows of a good place to check out
Open:
1)8:02 Rx
2)Got my first MU today. Only one, it wasnt pretty and I couldnt repeat it. I spent time on MU progressions and pull ups/dips and then did the squat therapy on its own.
Huge congrats on 1st MU!
DeleteNice work way to put the time into the progressions!

Squat therapy still difficult to keep arms straight but I did my best...def didn't touch my toes and heels together haha
