  1. Is that a 1rep max low hang snatch? Do you deadlift it first then do the low hang? Thanks coach.

  4. Hey Ben will the programming be geared more towards strength for the next 2 months like it says in the video or is it up to us to use the get hu age template?

    1. Do it like it is now...
      Look back at the last 2months and you will see lots of squats, deads and heavy Oly....

  5. 1. Snatch Complex- 205, missed 225 twice barely

    2. Clean and Jerk Complex- 245

    3. Oly Pause Squats- 135, 225, 275, 315, 315, 315

    4. Gymnastic Benchmark- Somehow forgot this one

    5. Metcon- Not one to change the programming or question it but I changed this one given several factors, did the Progenex Force workout since I need to work on MU's. Understand the Progenex Force workout may be programmed in later in which case I will just do it again. Finished in 10:22, bonked on MU's hard at the end. Couldn't string them together, which is why I did this workout.

    43:16- I didn't finish the workout in the time cap from the event, used 95lb, and did kipping pull-ups. But today non of that matters. Time and load have no bearing. As long as you did the workout to honor the 19 fallen hotshots, who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect others, you have had a successful day. Wait until tomorrow to worry about the numbers. RIP to the 19 and I wish for the best for the families and friends who have been effected.

  36. Open Program
    Went out of order due to restrictions today
    2) 175 - max snatch is 185, so pretty happy with this. Deadlifted the weight first, then lowered to the hang.
    1) 44:47 Rx - these really long ones aren't my forte, back got really tight in 4th and 5th rd. Runs were pathetically slow.
    3) worked up to 250 and that's all the weight I have at home.

    - didn't have time to finish...will catch in morning workouts.

    I am not one to question this programming. But, I have been following this for just over a week. Does anyone know why Ben programs the strength after the metcons for the open/masters?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Should add...everything I have done w crossfit has been strength then metcons/wods. Just curious to Ben's thoughts w this strength after metcons.

      Delete
    2. His thinking is in the programming philosophy section. The biggest goal of the open/masters program is to build a big engine since the open workouts aren't usually heavy. The focus is on metcons as they are what will get you to the regionals. The strength aspect is necessary but not the foremost concern.

    4) 12. not stoked about this, thought I'd get more.

    5) Saturday we went down and worked out with some guys from other gyms, and did a bunch of the same stuff, so was kinda sore so we did 3 Rounds of this. 20:22, the 2 servings of peach cobbler didn't help either.

    ReplyDelete
  52. A bit limited in what I could do today due to the gym I had access to.

    1) Snatch - couldn't do
    2) C&J - up to 175, def had more but could not risk dropping the bar
    3) Squats - 235

    Couldn't do gymnastics. Did Hotshots 19 at my box on saturday. 36:15

    ReplyDelete
  53. Due to my work schedule I did Saturdays work yesterday and added in snatches so I modified today:

  59. Regionals- Did met-con first with class.

    Hotshots19- Rx 35:48-
    What should've been a workout in my wheel-house became hell. Felt like I couldn't breath on the runs- like I was sucking through a straw in the Miami heat. The runs, which normally are my strength, slowed me down considerably. Rested a lot unnecessarily in between sets of the cleans as well. Ended up puking for the first time, immediately after the conclusion of the last run.

    A few hours later...

    Snatch Complex- 185 from hang below the knee- tried 195 a few times (PR full-snatch 205)
    C&J Complex Across- 245
    Oly Pause Squats- 235, 255, 275, 285, 295, 300 (failed 2nd rep)

    Max Strict C2B- 18
