Thanks heaps for your programming. I've been following for a few weeks now. I love your philosophy ... Especially doing metcons first!
ReplyDeleteThanks from down under!!!!
I am also loving the format. I am doing things I never would have done. Like the "Snake Bite" I was wondering why it was called that until I did the workout.
DeleteGo team Collins.
I too am following the programming from down under! Where are you based out of?
DeleteIt definitely felt like there was poison in my body after this!
DeleteWe live on the Central Coast NSW and train at home. We do go to a box once a week at Crossfit Mingara One

Scaled FS to 120.
I did 20 DU instead of 40 for the skills.
Morning Session
ReplyDelete1. No accurate way to measure this, but I'd say it's close to 30in.
2. 135,145,155,155,155,165,165,165
3. Tried 135lbs, only got 15 reps. My shoulders are smoked from the past few days.
Workout was posted at 12 noon here in the Philippines, kind of threw the idea of a morning session out the window had to cram it into one session.
ReplyDelete1. Bounding- Exact same as last time, about 7'1 to 10'2
2. Pull-95, 135,155, 175, 175, 175, 175, 175
3. 20 Rep Benchmark-135 which I believe is a 20 lb improvement from last time, started doing crossover symmetry and my shoulders are way less "crunchy" and way more stable overhead.
1. Metcon- 4:53
2. Row- 2:32. 2:40, 2:41, 2:46. I gamed this totally wrong. I came out on the first one at my 500 meter pace and blew myself up.
Always enjoy seeing you post your time. I go off you and Dex. Keep up the solid effort man.
DeleteMade same mistake :)
DeleteJosh,
DeleteThanks man, that means alot. I'm actually keeping up with you, Drew, Anton, Shane, Dex and Willem (and some others). Watching you guys do well is as exciting as when I do well. Keep up the good work yourself!
I like that!!
DeleteGroup hug!
DeleteI'm always watching you too Jeremy, I like seeing where we swap small victories. It seems we are opposites (strength vs. metcon), though it also seems we are meeting in the middle more and more as the weeks go by.
DeleteYou got me today....must have been my self-pity style burpees :)
Dex I'm more in awe of on an almost daily basis...then there are a few other ninjas, but they don't seem to post as regularly so it's tough to compare.
Found last time I did Satan's Whiskers, 6:39 from 31/JAN. Almost a 2 min improvement.
DeleteI agree with all of the above. I am always looking to see how you guys did in order to push myself that little bit extra.
DeleteI want to be like Dex when I grow up though. He crushes these wods routinely.

I'm Back! Doesn't have quite the same ring to it as when MJ said it...I followed this Aug-Dec '12 until my gym went in-house with comp programming. Now I'm back for the 2014 Games season and couldn't be more excited! Got some butterflies before bed last night and maybe had a little too much energy at the gym this morning...

That is a smoking time! Good job.
DeleteHoly strong front squater! Amazing time!
DeleteThanks Guys--I really didn't know what to expect. Was thinking closer to 3 flat, so was disappointed at first. Guess I didn't really account for the transitions. On week 3 of the Open programming here--I'm old, so it's hard keeping up with you young guys. Keep up your good work & times--I watch for them and they're definitely motivating me!!!
DeleteReg:
ReplyDelete1. Didn't do to fit in timeframe....This will probably be an event at regionals.....and I will suck at it....my fault.
2. 8x3 185,205,205,205,205,205,205,205. it's funny how careful these have to be, it takes a few sets to feel normal, but they are awkward from start to finish.
3. got 16 @ 165 and no split jerks....so dumb, mental failure.. technique felt solid, even cycles some small sets, just gave up when it got tough.... two reps from god :)... next time
4. WOD: 5:33
the only real goal I had going in to this was unbroken front squats which I got (yay)... will not hold back on burpees next time, threw away thirty seconds just being slow on burpees.
Anyone under 5:00 on this is money!
Rowed a moderate/recovery 10 min.... couldn't muster the focus on the rower after the bad decision to row instead of run yesterday.
I just looked up the last time I did Satans Whiskers...Feb 1 of this year, 8:40 with broken C2B and broken FS, neither of which happened today!... I guess that's a huge improvement.
DeleteI'd say so, sounds like your strength to weight ratio has improved.
DeleteNice Shane, thats an awesome improvement. Well done man.
DeleteMorning Session- Regionals 21 yrs old/160/ 93rd in SE Region in 2013
ReplyDelete1. 21 inches- pretty bad.. used a weird "sticker" system on wall
2. 135, 155, 175, 165, 165, 155, 155, 155
3. 175x 15 - a little ambitious.. thought i'd hit 185. This was great though. Exactly what I needed.
evening session
Delete4. 4:11 - UB everything.. Pullups felt funny on a slippery bar, but still managed.
5. 2:40.4/ 2:43.6/ 2:51.6/ 2:37.9
My body is shouting for a rest day. Will rest today and tomorrow. Will listen to my body this time.
ReplyDeleteDid this last week. Sometimes it's just totally necessary.
DeleteOpen
ReplyDelete4:54. Had a break on the second set of front squats that I shouldn't have. Oh well still happy with my time
Done with 20# didn't have anything heavier. Best DU's have ever felt
Had to start workout at 7am (Russian time) so there were no program for today - did Open from Tuesday 6.18.13.
ReplyDeleteSo finished Satan's Whiskers after work at 6pm - 6:10. Squats are my real weakness, have to work on it.
Also was rather tired from yesterday's Hotshots19, and morning complex.

ReplyDelete2. stayed between 85-125
3. 95- same as before
*had to do all in one session
1.6:11
2.stayed between 3:06-3:14
Morning session
ReplyDelete1) 21" vertical (jumping not a strength)
2) 45/65/95/115/125/135/145/155
3) did a 20rm bench press instead of push jerk because I just started following this programming and I did a 20rm push jerk not too long ago. Did 185 on the bench, should have gone heavier but never went that many reps before so wasn't sure where to even start.
Will be going back after work for the evening session.
Pm session done
Delete4) 6:32 (unbroken first rd then split into 5's for the rest, burpees really gas me, still working on figuring out how to not gas on them)
5) 2:30/2:48/2:48/2:44

Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteI started this programme about 3 wks ago now along with my boyfriend. We are both masters (40 n 44, just puppies lol) he's very strong and fit I'm very not! This programming is challenging 4 me as I lack strength in certain areas and I'm working on getting a kipping hspu, a bodyweight dip and my press ups are poor also. I love the variety of your programming, its hard but fun at the same time (well once I'm finished its fun) I'm improving all the time and working on my weaknesses.
Silly question time - I have a fear of jumping 2 high on the box due 2 seeing a few of my fellow gym buddies epic failures and subsequent split shin injuries. I can jump on the small box with about 5 20 kg plates thereon and was wondering how high is a good jump? I know the jumping requires 100% commitment or that's when total wipeout happens.
Thanks

Louise,
DeleteWelcome! without a baseline of how high you are jumping I can't say what would be a good jump. They actually make boxes that have a foam type covering which makes crashing easier. They sell them at Rogue although they probably have something similar in the UK.
Thx Jeremy, the jump is roughly between 30-33 inches. I'll get Raymond 2 check out the boxes.

OPEN + 20 RM JERK
ReplyDelete1) "Satan's Whiskers": 3:41 Rx. Unbroken throughout. Didn't let myself rest at all between movements. "Recovered" a little by dialing back the burpees a hair.
2) 20 Rep Max Jerk: 165 lbs. Only got 19 reps. Just gave it a shot since it was already on the bar.
3) EMOM: Did 55 lb. kettlebell thrusters. No wallball heavier than 20. Only got 35 DUs on the last round. Mental breakdown more than physical.
1) 32" Was pretty darn happy with this, high school hoops it was maxed out at 31". A few years ago when I was doing p90x, we measured it and it was like 28". So, it feels good to have hops again, need to go run with some guys and dunk on someone again.
ReplyDelete2) 135, 135, 155, 155, 175, 175, 185, 185.
3) 155 for 14. I started doing a set of 5 with 135 and thought, 155 would be no problem. Around 10 that started getting dicey. Missed it at 15, and dropped it, picked it back up and did the last 6.
Evening Session
1) 5:44 Unbroken on FS & C2B but man, being 6'4 does make burpees suck. Not sure what I can do to get better at this, I guess just do more burpees.
2) Was hoping on the air-dyne when the wife came out and asked to go for a bike ride, opted for that instead. Will do some interval work tomorrow probably.
I'm with you bro! Being 6'4 doesn't help with burpees or F.sqts.....Great work keep it up!

Open
ReplyDelete1. Satans Whiskers - 5:53. Improves from 7:47 back on Jan 30 2012. I'll take it!
2. OTM 20 - 20 lb MB, but I tossed to 11-12 feet. Couldn't get all the DUs - and rope broke half way through. Switched to heavier rope and it actually helped.
Need advice on jump ropes. I have a buddy lee rope (the one that broke) which I like but I find to be slow and draggy. I have a couple of thin cable speed ropes which I find too light. I also have a heavier "GoFit" rope (from Dick's) which is fast but heavier. Before I go buying another rope, what should I buy? Rx are the best? What weight?
Thanks for any tips.
I have played with a few different ropes. I started with a heavy rope from Rx ropes. I outgrew it quickly. I thought the handles were a little too thick, and I didn't like that I couldn't adjust the length.
DeleteThen I bought an Again Faster Revolution Rope and really liked it. The handles were a little too small, because I have big hands but its still my favorite rope. Also came with a replacement cable, which is handy if you are forced to jump on pavement
Finally I bought the rogue SR-1. Love the handles on this one, fit perfect, a little thicker than my again faster rope, but don't have any complaints about it.
Open Program
ReplyDelete1) 5:09 - disappointed in yesterday's performance so I had to go HAM today. Happy with this. Unbroken throughout.

ReplyDelete1) 5:00 Even. Practicing my butterfly C2B, making throughout the WODs lately, but not unbroken all the way through. Everything else unbroken. Also may have found a better way to do my burpees.
2) Didn't have a 30# med ball, so I threw the ball as high as I could think it was around 11 1/2 '. This is exactly what I needed as I have stated many times my dubs after wall balls are terrible. All sets completed!!
Quick question Ben I noticed you did a lot of 30# med ball work last cycle. Would it be worth the investment to buy one, will we see a lot of these again. Thanks
