Dex's Triple Jump.
Ben, I have been following your programming for 3 weeks and love it. I am planning on doing it all year!
ReplyDeleteQuick question: Should I be following another strength program in addition to this site (i.e. 5/3/1, I've been doing Smolov)? I'm not a regional's athlete, but I feel that I need the strength to move forward.
Thanks!
Stephen you will continue to get strong following this programming. Focus on really good form and work intensity. This makes you strong and functionally strong. Welcome to bens programming.
Deleteso stoked ! officially booked for next months visit to CFNE!! Alls i have left to do now is find a hotel. Any locals out there know a solid place to look for a decent priced hotel? I found a couple of extended stay hotels but they are in like Marlboro and Westborough or something like that. Looking for something economical but decent.
ReplyDeleteI travel a lot for work. Use Priceline negotiator the day before you need a hotel. Should be able to get a decent room, like a Sheraton or something for 80ish or something days inn like for 60-70.
DeleteSheraton four points in Norwood is really nice, stayed there regionals weekend.
DeleteThinking about doing that comp, intimidated! It'll be nice to meet ya!
Nice Triple Jump Dex!

DeleteOPEN WORKOUT
ReplyDelete1) Double Unders
83/72 in 2 minutes. Had another jump rope as usually. Incredible what difference a heavier rope makes in performing DUs :-o
2) 4:16min @ "The Seven"
Lost some time during transition from K2E to Deads and from KBS to Pull-Ups.
You finished the whole workout in 4:16?
DeleteI think you forgot to do 7 rounds! :)
DeleteToo legit to quit. Or...wait...
Deletethat awkward moment when you still have 6 more rounds to do of your wod :-/
DeleteYeah
DeleteSo did you wear your cape and underwear on the outside while you did this superman? Lol
Delete^hahah @ Dex...this poor guy
DeleteAw :( rookie move!
DeleteNot looking forward to doing 7 rounds!!!

DeleteOriginal: 34:16min!
DeleteHI EVERYONE!
ReplyDeletei've been doing these worouts for a while to and really love it! there is alot of learning to do but that's ok!
i have one question and hope you guys can help.
because of rugby trainings and games i cant really do 5 workouts a week.
more like 3 workouts... i just follow the workouts as posted but slower, so i do monday, then tuesday on wensday etc so i fall behind but keep the order.
or should i skip workouts every now and then?
anyway thanks alot i really love it!
Does KBS mean kettlebell snatches or kettlebell squats?
ReplyDeletei think kettlebell swings but i'm new so...
DeleteKettlebell Swings.

ReplyDelete1) 38:10 Definitely paced way too much, but nervous I would lose my HSPUs like last time. This is a PR because I did not lose them this time. Very happy about that!
2) no time, hopefully complete at FFD
"The Seven" RIP, Never Forgotten
Reg:
ReplyDelete1. Had to choose something to drop, this was fun last time, but needed to make it all fit in an hour...skipped.
2. Done, 330,290
3. 165, missed this last time, I think there is another 5-10 lbs in me.
4. 28:27, holy cow I am happy tomorrow is a rest day. TOUGH one! JimmyC made it happen today, he set a blistering pace out of the gates that I had to chase down in the middle, then squeak ahead, then have him catch and beat me in the end. This was a real challenge for the mental as well as strength/endurance element.
Still a great training day, now that I'm a few hours from doing the WOD I feel normal again and I'm very happy with my effort and result.
Crazy good time man.
DeleteYeah that time is nuts. The last time I did this it took me 41 minutes. Hoping to crush that today.
DeleteAll in one session. No time for two... Ouch!!!
ReplyDelete1) 7metres 10cm best attempt

ReplyDelete1) 26:25 - Threw in the towel after 4 rounds. Not RX, kipping HSPU's, Butterfly Pullups, 225lb deads & 90 lb thrusters. I completed this workout on the 4th of July with a time of 20:38 using 75 lb thrusters and 200 lb deads. Either the extra weight killed me or I'm still fatigued from Jet Lag.

Felt Slow/Tired today...
I think I held my breath for Thrusters every round...I had to take at least 30-60 seconds before I could even grab the bar and breath for K2E's...
Strategy sucked...I did all 7's unbroken, but waited to long b/t for transitions...& being able to breath again.

3) 20rm bench press... failed: 195x14, 165x19
4) 43:19, slower than the last time I did this in 2009. :-( But very, very different. Grip strength stopped me a few times. Tons of conscious lazy resting. Wallowed in self pity like a country song.
Session
ReplyDelete1) 25'9-1/2" Pretty amped on this. It's actually a 13" PR.
2) 385, 345.
3) 185 for 16. Got a little greedy here. Thought that was going to be easier.
This MetCon is going to hurt.
As expected. It hurt. 36:00 Flat. Really stoked, 5 minute PR, the last time I hadn't gotten up at 5AM, done heavy DL and a 20RM bench either. Making great gains in the metcon world. Hit a mental wall at round 5 where it was so hard to do anything, threw up in my mouth a little bit lol. Then crushed 6 and 7. Only thing I had to break up were the thrusters which are a huge goat anyway.
DeleteGreat training day over all.
Am- deadlift 2@85%- 285

Regional (had to do all in one session)
ReplyDelete1) 19'3
2) 270, 240
3) 20rm bench - only hit 95 for 16
4) 34:57, wish I had been able to take more time after the bench - my arms were dead on the thrusters and I definitely wasted a lot of time on them.
So glad you felt that too!!!
Delete:) I swear, I did my first set of thrusters and thought there was something seriously wrong with me -almost threw in the towel on the whole thing!
DeleteOpen-
ReplyDeleteI had to butcher this one because I was doing it at the globo gym at lunch time and only had 30 total minutes. Did a 10 minute warm-up and set-up and then this modified version...
20 minute AMRAP:
7 HSPU
7 Thruster @ 95*
7 K2E
7 Deadlift @ 205*
7 Burpees
7 Pull-ups
3 rounds + HSPU + Thrusters + K2E
*I scaled the weights to keep the intensity up on this one and because my low back is banged up a little bit right now. Should be good to go after some heavy mobility work between now and Thursday.
Oh yeah, I skipped the KB Swings because logistics were already a nightmare and I didn't feel like dragging a KB down one floor and across the entire facility.
Delete1. 27'
ReplyDelete2. A. 450 b. 400

Why knees 2 elbows and not toes 2 bar?
ReplyDelete1) 38:20.
ReplyDeleteFelt like I got bit by a dog with rabies and then dragged by said dog through a thorn bush. I would say I would probably be lying there for 30 minutes until a passing group of teenage miscreants would come along and take it in turns to kick me in different parts of my body until I finally pass out. When I awake I have no body hair left and the nearest wig store is 150 miles away. Oh and they stole my kidney. That's how that workout felt
2) 107 / 137 (nearly blacked out, swear to god)
Very descriptive!
DeleteYou nailed it! That was how I felt for about a half hour after this one.

I did everything unbroken. I set everything up in a line and walked in transition and breathed deep. As soon as I got to the next movement I went. I decided before I started that when I picked somethin up, or started on the bar I wasn't gonna out it down or drop. I feel like I gained alot mentally today. GOODLUCK guys.
Rx
DeleteAlso, had to swing a 75# KB since we don't have 70's at my box. Which is Mississippi CrossFit. I'd love you any of you guys to drop in if you're ever in Jackson, Ms.
DeleteGood day today
ReplyDelete"7's" Rx'd 35:30
Unbroken on everything but thrusters (my worst movement) 4/3 and due to some back tightness, did single, drop, pick right back up on dl's for final few rounds. took some extended breaks to roll back out so I could keep going.
