An update for everyone. My team finished in 3rd place in the Throwdown here in Manila. Tons of fun. Last workout of the Throwdown was an AMRAP of Isabel, Fran, Karen with a 25 min time cap. I Pr'd Isabel by over 20 seconds (some people said 1:45 some said 1:43) then I made it back to the bar and almost finished it again after my teammates finished Fran and Karen. Never underestimate the power of focused adrenaline. Great times.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Awesome work
DeleteDamn bro, good stuff!!!
DeleteDamn bro, good stuff!!!
DeleteThat's outstanding! Nice work Jeremy! 1:45 is a ridiculous Isabel time.
DeleteThanks guys, it was so much fun I can't even explain it. I am going to jump back in on Thursday.
DeleteSo I just spent the day watching the final heats of the ECC...... Cheryl Nasso is officially unstoppable. Absolutely amazing to watch! Just about everyone else was falling apart from the beat down Coach Ben put them through while Cheryl just kept trucking along. She finished the day by soundly beating everyone in the final event....all four parts of it......I'll say it again UNSTOPPABLE!
ReplyDeletePleasure to watch, and I look forward to training with you (via blog) through the winter!
Hell yeah, she's pretty amazing and fun to watch, she's like a machine out there!!!
Deletethanks guys ... Shane it was great to meet u as well as a few of the other comp blog followers! had a blast!
DeleteWell done Cheryl and Jeremy!!!
DeleteAwesome work Cheryl!!
DeleteCheryl, Congratulations! You were incredible, you were unstoppable, you just keep going, completely jaw dropping to watch you get after it. I couldn't wait to see you compete after seeing how you have been ripping it up on this blog. Guess what comp site gang? She did not disappoint!!! She is absolutely AMAZING. I will never forget watching you keep going through that final wod Ben created. Congratulations, again, on a very well deserved victory!
DeleteGreat to see you, Conor, and to meet you Paddy B!

2) Helen: 7:47 Rx. (PR is 7:37)
3) 2 RM Power Snatch TnG: 195 lbs. Worked up to this with no misses. Not sure why I didn't try 200.
4) 2 RM Power Clean and Jerk TnG: 245 lbs. Going from rack position back to hang position after the first rep was the limiting factor. Couldn't get my hook grip back after the first jerk.

DeleteCheryl's performance was absolutely astonishing! Been following comp wod for about 2 months now, haven't really posted yet. After meeting a few other followers this weekend at the ECC I thought maybe I should start posting. Wanted to give a huge thanks to Coach for putting on an amazing event this weekend!! Everything went so smooth,athletes were well taken care of and shown a great amount of support and respect from the first scaled heat to the last RX

This is my first post on here. I've been doing the competitors WOD for about a month now at Upper Cape CF with ShaneH and Jimmy and have been absolutely loving it. After a week and a half I PR'd my front squat by 40 lbs. I cant wait to see how much more Comp WOD unlocks my potential, and I'm looking forward to blog-training with all of you!
Finally you post! Good to have you onboard and have you meeting your end of the bargain with us :) (posting to blog)

*not of fan of bringing the weight back down, especially cln & jerk
You're starting forward. That's why you're ending forward. Focus on your bar path and keeping your butt down when you start your first pull.
DeleteBig thanks Alex, being tall/poor mobilty..i have a bad habit of starting with my hips high
DeleteGlad to be back, had to rest some injuries and had a family death. Looking to get back full force!

Open Program
ReplyDelete1) 8:27 (1-sec. PR) - runs were faster than in the past, but got kind of messed up on 2nd round of pull-ups when my normal bar was taken.
2) 175 (1RM is 185) - very pleased
3) 225 (1RM is 255) - was running out of time at the gym, maybe had another 5 lbs. in me but these are tough.
Question: Do you guys do full American swings on "Helen"? If so, how long do the 21 take? I do full swings, and I know my height (6-3) hurts me here, but it takes me a good 45 seconds. My runs were all 1:30-1:40 and my pull-ups had just one short break, and I'm still mid 8's, so I'm wondering what kind of splits people have when they are going 7:30 or under. Seems insanely fast.
Hey Anders, my understanding is that the full American (ears visible in front of your arms at the top) KB swing is the standard for this WOD. I didn't look at my splits for KBs, but if you want to speed up your swing cycle, you kind of have to actively pull the kettlebell back down from over your head and into your next rep instead of letting the weight follow the pendulum back down.
DeleteAgreed, it is full American. As a guy with almost a sub 7 time I will say that you need to take advantage of the first run being fresh and get your run times down, closer to 1:10-1:20. Your last run should be the only one that's somewhat close to a 1:30. Liz is correct with the faster cycle tip! But I also think you need to use a snatch KB swing technique where your shortening the rounding in the swing and punching the bell overhead. It's a faster cycle and more hip use. Keep pushing yourself! The biggest tip of all.
DeleteHey Anders I just went 7:19 and I was 1:18 first run, just over 1:20-1:22 second run and third run just under 1:30. Tried to have almost no transition by running right into the KB, finish KB and set down jumping straight onto the pull up bar completing all butterfly pull ups. RD 1 I was 2:18 Rd 2 I was 4:43-4:48 and finished at 7:19. Hope some of these statistics help. Keep up the good work.
DeleteThanks for the responses, guys. I've done this workout several times but had previously been cutting time by improving my pull-ups. Now it seems there's not much left to do but run faster and hopefully cycle those KB's a bit faster. Pushing that first run in the 1:10-1:20 range is is a little intimidating, but I'll give it a shot next time and just try to hold on.
DeleteSick kiddo at home today, so I tried for a quick workout at home. Couldn't spill weights on my deck, so didn't push the weight.

Not too happy with that but realistic since 130 is questionable depending on which day.
