  2. Just curious, anyone know the Final Cut Workout? I was looking for it online but couldn't find it. Usually that means it was probably right under my nose and I overlooked it. Was it the same through all five rounds or did it change up?

    2. I'm not going to lie these last couple workouts are really in my wheel house. I'm expecting to find Muscle ups to ring HSPU couplet with swimming to balance out these last two workouts.

      Also further to our conversation yesterday with all the rowing/running work we've been doing I've started viewing mono structural work as recovery, obviously it's still hard work but I dont see it the same as say 20 snatches. So I went for 20 unbroken, recovered during the run at a 3 ish min pace and did another 20 unbroken. It's been a huge transition for me, running wods used to be a huge achilles heel and consisted of me "surviving" the runs. More proof that this programming is working. My metcons are faster and more efficient and your squat is up 50+ pounds, right?

    3. Let's not get ahead of ourselves... I think it's only up 40, need to retest though. :) You are right, I know my metcon is showing improvement.. at least with moderate to heavy weights included, but it doesn't even touch how well my lifts seem to be climbing.

      I wanted larger sets really bad on the second half of this, I think if I'd have run instead of row it might have happened.

      It's a testament to the programming that it's able to make ninjas and beasts better at the same time.

    1. 275,315,335,355,365... not impressive, but steadily improving.

    2. played with lift offs and walking a bit at 365 on a regualr bar and back and forth on big monkey bar run.
    tabata stones at 65.

    3. 6:54, subbed rowing for running, still nursing knee. Sets were 10,5,5 then 3's and 2's on second set. just couldnt' get my hips to fire after the row.

    4. nope, did an easy 5min row.

    Deadlift: 275-295-315-335-365

    Played around with lift offs and attempted to ride 365 down into a squat. Felt ok until I passed 45 degrees then no go. Did the tabata stones.

    Metcon- 8:19 (my hands are so raw it's not even funny. Had to drop each rep.)

  17. 1) 275-295-315-335-365 on deads. Knee felt good on these

    2)Put 365 on the back and took a step or two, but wasn't willing to subject my knee to walking any further right now.

    3)Metcon 8:30. Subbed the run for row cause of knee. Very frustrated right now with the snatch. Was just getting good technique prior to surgery, but its gone down hill. I knew it would happen but still frustrating.

    4) Did a 5 minute cool down row, a lot of rowing to sub for running lately.

    All in all its good to be back getting the work in.

    1. I'm shocked with the result of my power snatches today. I did 2 sets of 10UB then 10,5 and 5 for the last set. I'm happy with the results so far and Thank Coach Ben for the program. Working with my gymnastics now and I hope I can catch up with my Pancake brother Jeremy.

  30. 1. 315-345-365-375-385-405 (m)

    2. None of the above odd objects so just did some basic strength stuff. OTMx12. Odd 5 Bench Press @ 225, Even 5 Good Morning @ 115.

    3. In hindsight, it may not have been a good idea to do the GM right before 40 snatches because I was a bit jiggly after that. 8:19.

    4. 2450 total.

    On a side note, there are some total fire breathers that post here. Good to have something to work towards. Humbling for sure.

  33. Some of these numbers are pretty good. Not questioning those sub 5 min metcons just wishing I could actually see them. You had to have sprinted and gone unbroken. I really wish we could post video.

    1. I wouldn't call it a sprint but both sets of 20 were unbroken which is where I made up the time. I think I was actually slower than a 6 min mile pace. First set of 20 took me 30 seconds, run got me back at around 4 something, got back to the bar at 4:15 isn and went unbroken.

  36. Hey everyone, I'm the world's worst about posting on this blog, but I've been religiously following your programming Ben since July of 2012. It is completely off subject but I just wanted to share with you all that I had my firstborn son today and I'm so excited I just had to share with you all! His name is Orion Finn Patrick, and I can't thank you all enough for motivating me everyday to put in the work to be the best I can be for my family. Doing these workouts have not only made me the healthiest and fittest I have ever been, but the mental strength I gain from this programming truly transfers over to my everyday life. Thank you Ben and Heather, and thanks to everyone for being the beasts and ninjas that you are. You truly inspire me.

  37. 1. Metcon: 5:51. Ran about an 8min mile pace on the 800. Snatches unbroken. Did a #115 "Isabel" a couple weeks ago in 1:11...so, I need to run a :30/400m faster pace to take about a minute off. Don't know what happened...started running and kind of just went for a jog between snatches. Really need to sprint that 800 AND go unbroken on the snatches.

  43. 21/ 165lbs/ 93rd in SE in 2013

    I feel bad, because I know if you don't follow Ben's programming to a "T," you technically aren't doing it, but I wanted to add in some stuff I missed yesterday into today's workout. Had to mix it around. Overall felt like a pretty decent day of training!

    Yoke play- walked forward and background and all around w/ it beginning @ 90+yoke, 180+yoke, 230+yoke, 280+yoke...

    5x3 DL's Climbing- 285, 335, 375, 395, 415*** - felt easier after yoke (?)

    Tabata Stone2shoulder @113- 6 each 20sec round.. alternated shoulders.

    EMOTM Hi-Bar BSx1 for 10min- 315 .. Was an absolute struggle, but finished all 10 w/ no fails.

    WOD- 20 snatches @115, 800m run, 20 snatches- Rx 7:58 .. Went, 7/4/2/singles, SLOW run, 4/3/singles..
    Running is my strength when it's by itself, but I reallllly paced this run.
