    1) 7:40 - first set of thrusters and box jumps unbroken. T2b were tough due to a lower pullup bar at home, but I'm ok with this time.
    2) 102, 90, 84 - used my old Buddy Lee rope and it felt like a weighted rope after normally using a Rogue speed rope at the gym. Ugh.

    Had to do this today bc of equipment restrictions. Will do 31 Heroes on Tuesday.

  2. Ben, what do you think of evolving box jumps into box jump overs? Here's the cost-benefit analysis as I see it:
    First, the CONs, against jump overs: athletes have to choose between lateral jumps, or forward jumps with rotations; either form involves lateral forces on the knees.

    Now, the PROs:
    1. lockouts on box jumpas are tedious to perform and excruciating to judge
    2. speed -- the lockout wastes time. Observe the 2012 Games WOD with box jumps in it... this exercise slowed the athletes down. Nobody needed to break. We all had to tolerate the tedium of waiting for them to lockout their knees on each rep.
    3. It's not just tedious, it plagues the athlete with a mentally fatiguing tradeoff, between being obsessive about range of motion, and going at intensity.
    4. OPTIONS -- the athlete needs to make a choice about jumping all the way over the box, or hop-landing on top of the box as they pass over. This gives new opportunity for truly metabolically superior athletes to push further into the red zone: clearing the box may be just slightly faster, but at a significant cost. If you can pay that cost... kudos to you, you earn those faster reps.
    5. Achilles tendon -- the box jump over involves more variety of movement, more moving parts, more coordination, but less impact on the tendon.

    We hope to see box jump overs replacing the mis-named "box jumps"... and the sooner, the better.

    1. Interested to hearing Ben's reply on this. Personally, I think box jump overs suck more seeing as how i'm not a 'metabolically superior athlete' :P

      Delete
    2. Britt, you're not required to jump "over" the box as in "entirely clear it" --- you jump onto the box, but you're not required to stand up all the way, and then you move on and jump down on the other side of the box.

      You can jump laterally, or you can jump forward, then find a way to turn around to return back onto-and-over the box -- you can turn in air, or you can land, turn around and jump again. Most just jump laterally.

      Delete
    3. So I look less like a troll, here is a better account of CONS and PROS:

      1) box jumps have a measurable distance of moving the body's mass, box jump over only have a minimum of an obstacle you pass over
      2) jump overs give advantage to flexible-coordinated athletes

      Box jump overs at 24" are a lot less work than box jumps at 24", but those of us who do them typically go higher - 30" men, 24" women

    Had to do this wod a day early due to my normal gym being closed and not having the right equipment for Mondays wod. Was a good wod, felt pretty good today. Looking forward to giving "hulk" a go tomorrow.

  4. This is going to sound stupid to some...I am not very tech savvy... Does this site have an RSS feed I can link to my android app "Xercise"? In the past I had this app hooked up to my affiliate feed so all I had to do was type in my results, it takes me a bit to type everything in...

    Thanks

    1. 12:18 - it took me a while to finish the TTBs but I definitely see improvement

    2. 82, 70, 74 - still a goat but I'm surprised I was able to string 54 DU's today

    ReplyDelete
  8. Bounding: 23'4" on third attempt and couldn't get withing a foot of that again in the following two attempts.

    Dead: 385.....I know we aren't supposed to PR on heavy...but I was just throwing plates on and lifting...I did the math after I pulled my last one and it was 20 over my last PR and there was still a little room to go heavier...My maxes are going up really quickly from suck to OK.

    20 rep PP test: 135...two or three reps had soft knee catches at the top....I'm just too used to it to not do it a bit in fatigue.

    WOD: 6:47 .... not my best day, couldn't string together anything, I'm going to blame it on having to workout solo, but it was bad. I'm pretty sure I threw away a minute just in dropping and resetting in every single set.

    1) 10:01 ....My t2b's are very slow and my thrusters fell into that same category this morning. Oh well regroup and take tomorrow to rest and then back at it thursday.

    2) 120, 121, 116 ---- after the first WOD of things I am not good at this was a welcome finish. Stomach turning though.

    1. 22.2 ft, have never done anything like this before was messing around with starting on both feet and starting on one foot (had a female who did track in college giving pointer).

    2. 415, felt extremely heavy today...

    3. 115. Had maybe 5-10lbs left in me.

    Partner only had time for one session today.

    4. Metcon: 8:50 rx, if it wasn't for T Albert gaining on me it would've been slower, on days he and I can train together we both benefit.

    5. Completed immediately after clearing the floor from the metcon.
    57sec, 60sec, 58sec, 58sec, 59sec. brutal is an understatement

    Thanks for the programming and the motivation! Constantly improving.

    1. 6:54 - TTB are getting better! Did the first 15 in round 1 all strung together (did all 25 without coming off the bar) - the 2nd round, I got 7, then it was 1-1-1 from there - but I still did 15 hanging on the bar - and then the last 10 without coming off.

    2. I forgot my jump rope at home - so I did the rowing intervals (I will do the double unders later today)
    1:05, 1:05, 1:06, 1:07, 1:05

    3. Did some HIGH C2B pull-ups with false grip - and some "assisted" muscle ups on the bar. All I need is someone to gently push my foot and I am over. I am MUCH closer to getting a legitimate strict bar MU than I am anything resembling a kip. Happy with that! :)

    Going to gymnastics class tonight! Hills Gymnastics is close by (where Dominique Dawes trained), and they have an adult class on Tuesday nights. Really excited to learn and try some different/new things! :)

    1. Whats going through your head when your doing TTB? Push/pull to get the momentum? I think i've figured out the technique, just need to work on stringing big sets together, good job!

      Delete
    2. I am thinking about whipping my feet back. I used to just bring them straight down. Not perfect yet - but getting better. Once I lose the momentum, though - it's like I cannot get it back no matter what!

    Bounding: sidewalk. Random pedestrians adding upscale agility component. 23'5". Lots left. Lack footwork.

    Deadlift - felt good. Worked up to 455#. Got heavy feeling fast. Wasn't paying attention too much to weight. Focused on form. 10# off PR. Wouldn't have kept form with any more on bar today.

    Push Press - 135# felt heavy. Shoulders still feeling jerks and deficit HSPU I've been working on.

    Will be doing 2nd part in a.m. Ran out of time. Had to coach rest of the night.

    There are some serious beasts posting here. Happy to be a part of this crew.

    Started doing CompetitorsWod this week. Having Ben Bergeron as my coach - even is it's only virtual - is such a pleasure! I used to do my own programming which I have never liked, and often 'forgot' about doing the things I suck at. Now I enjoy every minute of my training, and trying to be better every single day when I read here the comments.
    LOVE THIS!

  70. Went to a bachelor party last night, so just moving today was a win.

    1) 256.5 inches was the best jump (248.5, and 250 as well)

    2) 405 (definitely a high-gravity day today)

    3) 135x20

    Evening: 1) 6:51 (Did both sets of thrusters straight, t2b crushed me)

    2) Nope, just didn't have it in me today.

  72. Open WOD, (thrusters, ttb, bj, ttb, thrusters) time = 9:11

    Did that with an injured hip flexor, first time I've felt a strained hip flexor in 20+ years. Had to break up all my TTB pathetically. Blood sugar of 38 when I finished.
