5. Metcon- 7:26, this felt awesome, my chest to bar pullups have never felt this good. I've been doing alot of prehab on the scapula and shoulder, maybe it is paying off.
Good job!
DeleteGreat time for big guy!! Well done bud.
DeleteMust be the pancakes
Deletesmoked ittttttt
DeleteBefore I workout today, I wanted to share that yesterday I got my first ever bar muscle-up!!! It is strict. It is ugly. But it IS one! Now to work on my technique :)
ReplyDeleteYou can see the amazing mess here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgDsVA0JHL4
Nice!
DeleteAwesome! It's obvious that you are very strong. I'm working in a strict bar MU with both arms getting over at the same time. I think I'll do them like you with one at a time to get the strength for it.
DeleteNice job. You have the strength, so its all just working technique. At least you got that first one out of the way now.
DeleteNice, Deb!
Deletegreat work deb!!!

OPEN
ReplyDelete1) 12:39, round 1 - 185, round 2 - 5 reps@185 then dropped to 135 for last 5 reps and for 3rd round. I couldn't get the bar back up in the rack position after I dropped it in the 2nd round@185 and noticed my form falling apart so played it safe.
2) 135

Does anyone know why the open athletes are doing the metcon first?

Question to the OPEN Athlets:
ReplyDeleteHow did you "working up" your Romanian Deadlifts? Did you Warm-up Sets? How many Sets did you as heavy Sets?
I did 3 Warm-up Sets with 40/60/80% of my Weights I tought they would be a Set of 10 unbroken reps. Than I did 3 Sets in the same Style I try to find my 1RM.
Thanks for answering :)
GERRY
Gerry-
DeleteI am not sure how Ben intended them to be done, but this is how I did them. When I see 'Work up to a heavy set of 10', I interpret that as many as meaning 4-6 progressively heavier sets including 2-3 lighter 'warm-up' sets. So I did it pretty much the same way that you did.
There is a difference between sets programmed as "work up up to a heavy set of 10" and something written like, "5x10, climbing to a heavy set". In the second one you are required to do 5 sets of 10 adding weight each time. In the first one you are asked to complete a heavy set of 10, but you can warm up to that set how you want; probably with sets of 3-5 reps.
DeleteThank you John & Thank you Coach! It´s noticed and will be memorised for the next "working-up-to" Set ;)

ReplyDeleteMU pt w Montoya- so helpful-what a ninja- TK u
17:10 on wod/ 105#
Skipped dl / snatches as I did some yesterday w class.
Open:
ReplyDeleteAt the beginning of my training I tried to do Ring MU but didnt manage. Then I did 10x1 Bar MU which is very easy for me, no fails, but for some reason Ring MU is a goat for me. Any suggestions, tips?
1) Front Squat scaled to 100lb (but did all 3 set unbroken so maybe it was too light)
Instead of C2B I did deep inverted row, bacause of the MU's I had no skin on my hands. But rows felt harder, than C2B, because of no kipping :)
Happy of 2 unbroken sets of DUs in the first 2 rounds.
Time:13'28
2) 75lb, Felt confident, no fail reps.
3) 90lb. It was so strange to me, have to do this more times!
Ope
ReplyDelete1) 12:10 So tried doing butterfly C2B throughout. Yeah, that didn't happen. But I did get half butterfly C2B's, progress there. But I did get tag teamed by the fatigue monster and a mental midget on my last 10 dubs. Completely lost them for a good 30 seconds. Oh well, will definitely work this!
2) 145#
1. Snatches 105#
ReplyDelete2. Clean and Jerks 145#
3. Toes to rope- these were awkward but manageable. I felt like my shoulder was getting a little funky. Not sure what i was doing wrong, but felt like something was out of place when i was doing them (only on my right side)
4. 8:12 ...feel like my pull ups are starting to come back...still very rusty, but better than they were a few weeks ago!
Open
ReplyDelete1. 17:53!
2nd and 3rd round took so long! Doubles unders did not come easy today, but 185 #s was probably too heavy for me to do for 10 reps in a Metcon. Did them 10, 5/5, 5/5, but there was a lot of rest in between. C2Bs were slow too.
2. 135 lbs
3. Worked up to 205 #s
1. snatch 185#-- felt fast and strong on the turnover. sat in the bottom for 3 seconds on each one to work core and balance
ReplyDelete2. Clean&jerk 235#-- felt good, sat in the bottom of the jerk for balance
3. 225#-- did 5x3 pause squsts in the front rack
4. toes 2 rope are werid haha
5. metcon: 8:40-- went unbroken on all squats, 15-5 on most c2b cuz i suck, and dubs were just as many as i could get without breathin, did the last set 40-10. I hate double unders

5) 12:59. Subbed in 15 HSPU for the front squats because I did a ton in the hatch program. I just felt awful today, one of those days that just finishing a session feels like I won the games in the accomplishment category.
1) snatch work done at 115. Feeling good. Trying to open all the way up and not jump forward. I have a bad habit of jumping and landing a foot length I front. Only thing I can think is I am not opening all the way up and the bar is coming away from the body. Today felt better though and I was landing properly.
ReplyDelete2) C&J work done at 165. Also felt good. Landing felt good.
3) pause back squats done at 225. Maybe could have got 235 but really wanted to work on the full 3 seconds and getting out of the hole.
4) skipped due to the other side of the gym being used where ropes were and also time.
5) 9:57. Felt like I was breathing too heavy. Feel like my metcon is slacking. However we are doing it after a lot f heavy work most if the time.

ReplyDelete1. 9:46...C2B really slowed me down
Skipped the lifting today. My back was feeling weird. I found some nasty bits in the high glute area yesterday during mobility. I was carrying a moderately heavy pack all day today on a hike so maybe that was a factor. But anyway, didn't feel good snatching 95, so I figured I shouldn't push it.
