ReplyDeleteThanks Ben!
Snatch, not OHS
DeleteOpen:
ReplyDelete1) 8:58 Jumping MU. Still can't get my MU back.
2) Did 5 set of 135#. Need to practice speed.
3) 305#
1. Snatch Complex- Done with 135
ReplyDelete2. Clean and Jerk Complex- Done with 185, can probably do 225+ but I used this weight to work on my mental block of lowering to shoulders for multiple jerk.
3. Box Squat
5x3 Box Squat - 135, 225, 315, 345, 365
4. Gymnastic Benchmark
Max L-sit for time- 23 seconds
5. Metcon- This metcon was a pipedream about 6 months ago. Put a 15 minute timecap on myself. Finished in 14:06. I have been hammering gymnastics hard.

ReplyDelete1. 135
2. 215
3. 235
4. Still no parallettes....bad excuse, I have a very hard time with these, so I skipped it.
5. 7:07, happy with this even though I missed the first three attempts at snatches, then the very last rep.
QUESTION: above says legs straight for L-sit, I often see a slight bend in knees in videos of the best athletes in this game.....Is a slight bend OK or not? It makes a HUGE difference in difficulty. Any input would be great, not just Coach.
I think for the benchmark it is as strict as possible. Maybe just better to judge when you fail that way..
DeleteWith bent knees I can keep it about 1min, but then my heels end up 2inches from the ground the last few seconds... Today with straight legs and heels above hips was another story.
Great job with Amanda!!!
i was very strict. as soon as my feet dropped i called it quits. I know i can hold my legs over 2 45s for at least a minute...but legs straight and feet above hips were the requirement for today.
Delete1)Snatch complex
ReplyDelete135 3sets
2)Clean complex
205 3sets
3)Box squats
First time doing this.
Did 315 will go heavier next time.
4)Quite different when legs have to stay
above hips and straight! 18sec
5)So I got my first bar MU last week.
Dont know why I could do rings first.
But worked the bar today...
17:45 Can only get better.
Thanx Ben!!
Ring Muscle Ups are so much easier for me too! Good job on getting number 1!

I am going to wait to do this workout until Saturday when I have rings and a bar w/95 lbs both available. Will do everything else today (plus add in a MetCon), but I really want to try my hand at "Amanda" - just have to wait a few days to do it!
ReplyDeleteI got upgraded to the Regionals WOD by working with others in the morning (instead of alone at 9:30pm)
ReplyDeletesnatch complex: 135, 155, 155 (held back to conserve form)
3 x 2 pwr cleans, 2 push jerks: 185, 225, 245
L-sit hold = 32 seconds
box squats: 245x3, 315x3, 355x3, 365x3, 315x6
Amanda Miller, modified = bar muscle ups, time = 13:26
(first time doing this WOD, felt the box squats and the bar muscle ups screwed up my snatch reception AND stability in the bottom position. I have to modify to bar MU because of shoulder.)
Open master:
ReplyDeleteAmanda: 43:20 rx. Obviously could/ should of have? scaled. But I wanted to see if I could do it. 100# is my 1rm ss that I've only ever hit 3 times, so this was a fun challenge for me. Skipped the rest of the comp stuff today.
sometimes you have to pick and choose what you want to fight for! proud of you michelle! maybe you missed the "stimulus" but you gained confidence in yourself and your abilities! good job!!
DeleteThanks, Cheryl! It is great to see you back at it and killing it!

DeleteFirst time doing Amanda. 14:58 RX'd. 7 or 8 misses on MU's and 2 misses on snatches. So much room for improvement. Overall pleased with performance considering 6 months ago I couldn't do a single MU or snatch 135 at all.
ReplyDeleteHit 300# for 3RM

ReplyDelete11:03 on Amanda. MU & snatches are my goats since blowing out my shoulder. Strength slowly coming back.

ReplyDelete1) 14:27 This sounds bad, LOTS of misses, however making progress.

Hey, guys! I need some input.
ReplyDeleteAfter several weeks of 5-6 days a week of work, it feels like my mental focus and motivation bottoms out and I am reduced to miserable time and loads. I become dissatisfied with programming and cherry pick then end up with several days off simply because I don't want to workout. I always "get smart" and go back to my dedicated and committed ways, but I feel like this cycle causes me to move backwards and lose the gains I've made. Do any of you ever have this problem? If so, how do you cope? If not, what's your secret?
I think you just have to give in and trust the system. Until this summer, I had just been dabbling here and there with some great programs, but never followed any one strictly. What I have learned is that cherry-picking just leads to deficiencies. So, I've been following the comp-WOD as best as I am able (given summer trips and kids' schedules) and plan to continue to do so. I've made gains just over the past couple of months, but also continue to be humbled when I post for WODs that I would've opted out of in the past.
DeleteI recommend reading Ben's article(http://library.crossfit.com/free/pdf/CFJ_Racehose_Bergeron.pdf) and get out there and train like a race horse!
I'm not speaking from experience but maybe just giving some advice ... do u always train at the same time ? same environment? same people? same warm up? how do u approach wods that u would like to cherry pick? do u think negatively? mentality is a huge piece of success in any program ... how's your recovery ? are u doing other things outside of the programming ? I know that sounds like a lot of questions but there r so many factors that could play into how u feel. I would also suggest the same article that Liz pointed ya too. ;) don't be discouraged ... do the work and progress wil come ... remember, Crossfit is not linear. we will have peaks, plateaus, valleys (setbacks) , but we will continue to get better from all those experiences !
Delete1.) 8:56 RX....did this in May with #115 in 8:08 so I'll chalk it up as a victory.
ReplyDelete2.) #165
3.) #365 PR

3. 335.
4. 32 seconds pr
5. 5:05 Amanda-- 2 minute pr
Major goat for me (squat snatches/over head squats) These last few weeks of working on them with lighter weights, along with yoga, has helped me make huge progess.

2) did not due confidence was shot
3) 300 stopped there because it was a positive end to a rough training day
Sustained an odd back injury after last week's 20 Strict, 30 push, 40 jerk met-con. Felt my spine compress and couldn't rotate it. Just about back.. did everything here.
