This entire session is for time, but don't allow yourself to work with bad mechanics - be smart and take the time you need to get the reps and drill in good movement. You must break after the prescribed reps and if you can't get a set unbroken you must redo that set.

"We are lions in a field of lions.
Believe that voice that says that you CAN run a little faster
and that you CAN throw a little harder.
Luck is the last dying wish of those who want to believe winning can happen by accident.
Sweat on the other hand is for those who know it's a choice."
I just extracted the audio from that video. It's my alarm clock ringer.
ReplyDeleteGood idea!
DeleteCoach Bergeron, I just read through most of your programming philosophy. I was especially interested in the section called a word on volume and training vs. practice. I have been crossfitting for about 15 months. I am 45 years old. In August I began doing the workouts designed for competitors at my box. The workouts include strength and oly lifting every day as well as wods with heavy loads most days. My coach also does not allow scaling like we were able to do as regular members. So if the wod is an AMRAP, for example, and heavy weight is involved, I have spent the entire AMRAP time on one movement completing less than one round. This has felt weird to me, but not knowing much about competitive programming, I've been doing the workouts as well as I can. I'd like to hear your professional opinion on scaling weight and/or movements for athletes preparing for competition.
ReplyDeleteFirst Sat Metcon. I def have to get used to this type of volume, but I'm motivated...
ReplyDeleteOpen
Metcon: 32:07 Burpees are my goat. Got held up on the 2nd and 3rd round of burpees significantly.
Great Job Carlos!
DeleteFor some reason it rains every saturday about the time I start working out, I either need to find an indoor track or start splitting this up.
ReplyDeleteDid Rower
A. 6 x 200 sprint, rest twice the work time- 35, 35, 38, 37, 38, 38
B. 3 x 500 hard + 500 easy recovery- 3:42, 3:38, 3:42
2. Barbell- 33:04 with 205, this was a vomit inducing good time.
3. Gymnastics- God bless you guys who still have enough in the tank to do this. I finished the above and in conjunction with the last couple days my shoulders and elbows were fried. I would probably still be doing this workout. Decided to call it.

DeleteCool result. Did you finish all sit-ups unbroken?
DeleteThanks Stas! I was grinding with my burpees. Jeremy showed me cool tips with burpees and its working for me. With sit ups, from the start I'm swinging my arms already to make it easier.

That was a struggle and surprisingly it was the squat cleans. Rep 13 of 1st round took a nice shot to the jugular with the bar.
Burpee's at my own box (70 on Tuesday), All those burpees in this programming on Thursday, 40 more lateral over the bar burpees at my box Friday. I'm almost starting to like that.
Those working out alone, any advice on staying mental strong on workouts like today/Thursday that are longer workouts (or at least for me). I do try and set a goal to hit whether trying to finish a round or a specific movement in a specific amount of time. I know it's all mental at that point, but anybody have any little tricks or advice you might be willing to pass along. With the guys I normally do the class WODs with, we like to bust on each other and typically just say 'suck it up sally' and get it done, just curious where other people are on this.
When I'm alone I'll put a word under the wod on the whiteboard to remind me to push hard so instead of stepping back away from the bar I'll look up and focus on the word.... Words like, Go, push, leaderboard, compete

ReplyDeleteJust a note: I did a local Corporate Challenge thing today with a bunch of random events (just-for-fun type of thing). The only challenging event I did was the 800 meter run, and I shocked myself with a time of 2:37, which is about 15 seconds faster than I've gone before.
ReplyDeleteA few years ago, before doing CrossFit, I set a goal to run a single mile under 6:00, and in training specifically for that, my best 800 was 2:52. Today, I do running-only workouts rarely (follow the Open program here now and have been doing solely CF training for 4-5 years), and I was able to crush that time and honestly had some left in the tank. It's not an elite time for sure, but for a guy with no T&F background, I'll take it. For those newer to CF, there's no doubt this stuff works.
Open Program
Delete1) 24:25 - not up my alley at all, but hopefully got better today. High rep squat cleans crush me every time.

I'll be doing today's tomorrow and getting back on track with the blog, took an extra rest day Thursday cuz my knees have been pretty stiff and sore and then Friday i was prepping for our in house throwdown we had today. And I'm super stoked because my snatch has been feeling crappy lately and haven't been able to get anywhere near my previous PR of 195, been stuck at around 175, well today I prd by 10# and hit 205! And then pr'd my grace @ 2:15! I've gotta say too, all the volume we do on here has really helped me when it comes to competition time I used to be pretty dead after 1 or 2 wods and have to survive the rest, now I can keep going strong throughout, we did 4 pretty grueling wods today and I still have my legs and will be able to go again tomorrow and not be laid up for 2 or 3 days, pretty awesome!

How did everyone do their timing?....2 min rest between each set or just between exercises? We started doing the back squats as fast as possible for 8(good form), and then resting 2 minutes before the next 8....five mins of.conversation ensued before we did the sets as quick as possible resting 2 mins between exercises.
ReplyDelete15:23 95 did reps of 21 so I had no reason to stop and go unbroken
