Squat therapy - don't skimp on these!!
If you want to improve your Front Squat, your Snatch, 
your Overhead Squat, your Pistols, your Jerk, or your fear of public speaking
Squat therapy is the cure all.

Remember, practice isn't enough.  Make it your practice mindful and purposeful.  
This is not easy, don't fall into the trap of taking the easy way out.
1.  No movement of the feet - they tend to turn out for many of us.
2.  No bending the arms.
3.  Hands together.

  1. What is the movement for the evens on the OTM? Am I missing something?

  5. Reg:

    1. Done with no weight and a long stretch after.

    2. Just did heavy snatch and C&J pulls, no logs and the stones aren't reallt heavy enough for this.

    3. Isabel - 3:32 (33sec off PR), then scaled at 145,155,165 - 17:37 165's felt as tough as they were in the OPEN, was able to squat catch the last three.

    4. 5K Row - 18:34

    5. ran out of time...

    I hope to someday be repping 205 snatches, but I'm just not there yet. My max is only 185, so I have a ways to go.....hoping to get some Oly sessions soon.

    Nice to see videos getting posted from our box, sorry I missed you Coach and Heather. Maybe next time.

    1) 4:20 Grip was the limiting factor. Didn't use hook grip for some reason, no es bueno.
    2) 5 on ST, tried like hell to not get my feet to move outward as I descended but keeps moving. Will try harder. 5 MUs, none unbroken. 4 on one round made it up later.
    RIP Randy

  7. Random question, for you guys zoning, are you guys uping the blocks? My strength gains have kinda flatlined which I have been thinking about lately. I feel like we do a ton more training than the average bear, plateau could be attributed to not eating enough?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes I upped my blocks but test and rest test. only change one variable at a time. adjust your carbs by a couple blocks first. if not better go back to where u were for awhile let the body recalibarate then adjust fat blocks if that doesn't help up. both fat and carbs. something will work. I used 3 weeks for each test. when I changed something. good luck

  11. 1) No Ghd. I do ghd sit ups on roman machine.. Cant do these on it.
    2)
    3) 2:35 Isabel 5off PR
    Ok so I dont train with bumper plates
    and having to controll the weight
    down
    every rep kills te lower back...
    Gave myself the goal to do 1rep at
    185, and got it! Took me 19min to
    work through 135-165 and 1rep @ 185.
    Stopped there because there would be
    No rowing a 5k after 10reps @ 185
    and not allowed to drop the bar...
    I train in a normal fitness club
    where I work but busy saving to
    buy bumpers etc and equip my garage.
    Sure my scores will then get better
    too...
    Don't mean to have a lot of excuses
    but im sure it helps to drop the bar
    during wods like these...
    For now I use what I've got.



    4) 19:09 5k Row
    5) Done

    Looking forward to tomorrow!!!

  19. Switched up the skill work and did the "homework" for our box comp team instead.

    EMOTM 12-
    Evens - double unders (did 20 unbroken/round)
    Odds - butterfly pull-ups (did 5 @ minute mark and another 5 @ 0:30 each round)

    DU's felt great so I did a max unbroken set afterwards and got 80, PR by a few reps I think.

    "Randy" - ummm, nothing positive to report here. I was crunched for time, tried to game it and fell off that pace quickly, just mentally checked out after that. Sometimes it's so hard to do these met-cons with any intensity while at the globo gym.

    I'm gonna try to get some work done at home tonight...L-sits, GHR's, Squat therapy.

    1. No misses on snatches. Had to squat snatch 205

  34. 1) Used a 70# KB. These got spicy.

    2) Nothing of the sorts, worked the handstand walk, 5x max attempt. PRed at about 15'. Getting better, real stoked on that.

    3) Going with advise of the doc, I shyed away from the full snatches. I know I could have done this one RX sub 20, and have it on the board for next next month one day hopefully. Did Randy at 4:45, about a 30 second PR. Forarems were on fire.

    4) Instead of rowing a 5K, I hoped in with our box today and did 5RFT Bike 1 mile, 5 muscle ups, 10 pistols, 15 GHDSU, 33:09.

    5) Done. Pretty good, could have been better, did them on the rings as I rode my bike to the gym and left the paralettes at home (we don't have any at our box, I bring mine from my home gym)

  35. 1) Done with 15 # plate

  39. Open Program
    1) 5:39 - pr by 30-40 seconds - not a workout that's up my alley but I can tell I'm improving in this area. Just gotta pick the bar back up quicker.
    2) Done - 3 m-u (no false grip), 5 sq therapy

    I've been trying to work on no-false grip muscleups, even though I'm much stronger with a false grip. I see most top athletes going no false grip, so I feel like I should learn, but not sure if it's worth it. Anyone else in this boat?
