    1. In the FAQs it says if unspecified, it's your choice.

  3. Open- Have to break it up into 2 sessions today.

    AM - at home in the shed gym.

    Snatches @ 145, no misses

    Front Squats - 225, 245, 265 (should have done 265-275 across but was short on time)

    Curious question, because I feel like my front squat is disproportionate to my high bar back squat, what are some other folks ratios? My FS is about 90% of my HBBS (325/365).

    2. Thanks, I honestly thought if anything, my BS was low.

      Did "Jerry Gone Bad" at the globo gym at lunch time. Ran the first mile in just over 7 minutes on the indoor track (1/12 mile per lap), about a minute to get to the rower, dogged the row in like 8:45, another minute to get back to the track...and then at about 800m - POW! - worst quad cramps I've ever experienced! Both legs just seized up. I managed to hobble another half lap with peg-legs. Clock said 23:00 when I got back to it. I had to sit on a bike and do a slow pedal while mashing them with my thumbs for like 5 minutes just so I could walk. Horrendous! Operation hydration in full effect.

  4. REG:

    1. Done, no misses, @ 140

    2. Done, no misses, first few jerks iffy but smoothed out, @ 185

    3. HBBS 4x7, got close to failure but got every rep, @ 265

    4. Intended to mix this in with squats, but didn't, will play on rings later to make up.

    5. Jerry: 21:32 with 1600 (4x400) for the runs.... actually stopped twice in the row to get a drink...lame...gotta work on my mental game on the rower.

    Great day today, we added another athlete to our morning crew and he will likely be throwing up some impressive numbers very soon as he gets back in to it. Welcome AlexB, may you finally learn to love rest days!

  5. Same here Patrick, did OK in 2011 OPEN, but wouldn't have finished the first WOD at Regionals. Felt the same this year, did OK in OPEN, but wouldn't have completed regionals. Raw low rep strength seems to be the head that needs feeding. I am also doing the Regionals programming.

    Good Luck! And I look forward to progressing and seeing results with you and everyone else here.

  9. Heading to Miami to compete in crush games tomorrow can't wait to hit this programming monday. ready to get on yalls level. when it says technique work is it still the full snatch movement?

    1. Unless it says otherwise, yes, it's a full squat snatch. Sometimes Ben will specify "squat snatch" when describing complexes.

    1. Yes, just sub-maximal. Range of motion will always be spelled out clearly if it's anything other than full movement.

    5) Jerry-33:00 Gotta recheck the distance on the run.

    Pace, Hopkins, Wags- see you guys posting regularly and I just passed my two months doing compwod. Love the programming but it seems like I am on a roller coaster. Feel strong, then feel tired and run down. You guys ever get that way? Do you back it down a little or just keep charging?

  28. Phew. Today was a lesson in patience. Went to the ART guy for my wierd ankle/knee/hip thing he advised shying from full lifts for 3 weeks over 50% instead go hard on pulls and do bulgarian split squats and tons of mobility, so I am giving it a whirl.

    1) Snatch Pull - 245 - That bar was flying. PR is on it's way as soon as I get this knee straight.

    2) Just the Jerk from the rack to avoid any wierd things with the knee. 215, they all felt great though, fast, deep, powerful.

    3) Bulgarian Split squats to correct the imbalances I have created for myself.

    4) I Was awful at these. Really frustrating.

    5) 28:20. Every time I tried to turn it up on the run my calfs turned into screaming knots. The row was awful, my glutes were burning, just so slow all the way around. 5 Minutes off my PR.

    Frustrating day, driving forward.

    back squat 275x7, 315x7, 315x7, 295x7
    ouch!

    "Jerry" 1 mile run, 2000m row, 1 mile run,
    time = 25:00

    We ran out of time, didn't get to do the Levers.

    NOTE to non-gymnasts: Learn to modify the movement properly, pull one or both legs in while keeping the body mass in a straight line (don't curl up even when you shorten your length by tucking leg(s) in), and you'll be able to WORK this movement. It is hard as hell, full body 100% tension, massive volume of isometric muscle contraction. 6 sets is brutal.
