    3. It wasn't just a clean....it was a ladder-> you had to hit 3 deadlift and then hang clean it.....HUGE PR!

  2. Interested in hearing other people's thoughts on these two a days. Are most people within their schedule able to find time to do two sessions? If not do you do it in one session? A good bit of the time here in the Philippines I don't get the workout until it is too late to plan a morning sessionl, we are plus 12 (8 PM on the East Coast, 8 AM here)

    I understand why we have these two a days (atleast I think I do). It is a chance to partition the volume and gives us a chance to be (semi) fresh when we hit the first element of the second session. Just wanted to get everyone's thoughts about this. I'm headed in there in a couple hours to hit a marathon session.

    1. Same problem here. The workouts are most released when it is 4am here in Germany. So often it is tough to plan a morning session. But when I can not go to the box twice a day, I usually do only a part of the workout. I always do the metcon and do 1-3 other parts, depending on my weakness.

      Today for example:
      Because of an important business appointment, I only can workout in the evening. Snatches are not really my strength, so I do this part, the squats and the metcon, but miss the C&J and gymnastics.

      I try to do my best to follow the programming as exactly as I can, but sometimes it is absolutely impossible for me to train in the morning and in the evening.

    2. I know you don't want to hear this Jeremy, but there are some people that follow this blog a few days behind, so scheduling is never a problem. Another benefit is knowing what's coming to be able to hit weaknesses without killing a movement for the next day.....all advice I will not be taking because I like being in the moment with WOD's from back in the .com home gym days as it was the only way to keep motivation through the roof.

      I got today's work done in just under 2 hours, and it was all back to back... not ideal, but if I hadn't had the time I would have dropped one of the OLY and the TTB.

      Delete
    3. Ha ha, I dont know if it's not what I "want to hear". I wouldn't want to hear something bad had happened to your or your family, or that you'd blown out your knee. You actually make a very legitimate point and one I will think over.

    4. If The Bergeron were to respond to this I imagine his response would be something harsh and honest like he's said before - "If you want to be a Regionals level athlete you'll find or make time to do this in two sessions."

      I'm not able to break this up into morning/evening sessions, so I hit what I can in one longer AM session. I'm guessing that the intent is to be fresh for the second session. I wish I had the time to do these workouts in 2 sessions. The heavy lifts are exhausting before a metcon! Gotta learn to keep moving when you're tired though. Keep training hard everyone!

      Delete
    5. Always do all in one session.
      Would love to do 2 but thats never possible.
      Still get it all within 2hours tho...
      But I guess doing 2 would give you yje best stimulus. . Because roday my quads were quite "warm" when I got to yje metcon...

      Delete
    6. 2 Would allow you to keep the intensity high for the metcon. I find that when I do break it up as prescribed, it is way better. However, life does not always allow for that.

      Delete
    7. @joe, I think you're right, that's why I asked you guys vice Coach, wanted to get some other athletes experience. Literally sometimes we will get the workout at 1215 in the afternoon which we've had a couple laughs about when it asks for two sessions. I've had good results mostly cramming it into one session and when we have some prior notice I hit it in the morning and come back later.

      I may just do it like Shane said and be a week behind so I can plan ahead. May make it harder from a camaraderie aspect and from the competitive aspect but it will be a way to guarantee I get all the work done.

    1. have a problem with lock-out when jerking. So decided to do more reps with good lockout without additional pressing.

    2. Try to hold the bar wider. Works for me Bud

    3. Thanks, Antonio! It works for me too, but still need more practice.

  4. Regionals crammed all into one session
    1.Snatch Wave-Done. Ranged from 115lbs to 165lbs
    2. C+J Complex-Worked up to 215lbs. Very happy with this. This is a PR but there is still more left in the tank
    3.Back Squats-Worked up to 260lbs
    4.Metcon done with 115lbs-10:27. Thrusters are improving TREMENDOUSLY!.
    5.Later this week sometime. Ran out of time.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Open - 14:27 *Self assessment... never did heavy thruster for that many reps so while I moved slowly I was able to get at least 5-7 most reps (however I know I could improve form a bit more). Run started out great, 400 sucked and 200 was all I could do to move my body as fast as possible.

    Lifting up Luke - 4rds w/ 2 sec to spare... did this about 20 min after the thrusters since I swam laps Saturday. Not bad I think.

    C&J - 185, very tough to do multiple jerks

    HBBS - 255 across

  6. Reg:

    1. Done, missed twice in the same minnute at 90%, but still got it in time, made it up by hitting the 95% twice in the last minute, mostly felt really good.

    2. 240 (PR!) stood up with a 245 squat clean once, never jerked over 230 before...jerks are finally feeling normal after all this practice. I did not jerk this twice.

    3. 255, the weight and the pause were great for making sure everything was right....starting to dislike highbar....never did low bar before a little while ago, now I think I wish I never had.

    PM 1. 10:15, started about 20 seconds after the squats, still went as expected, broken a bit more than planned, but not terrible off. Was hoping for 7's, 5's, 3's but couldn't quite commit to it.

    PM 2: 6:52, sets of 10 all the way to 80, then 5's. ouch.

  7. Morning Session

    1) made all except last two (65% = 135, 95% = 195)

    2) stopped at 225

    3) stayed light at 315

    Had a rough weekend and only got about 4 hrs of sleep the past couple of nights so I kept it kind of light today, running on fumes!

  52. First time poster! Been following the program for just over a week now. Finished all in one session (PM) due to unable to travel to the box in the mornings.

    Regionals:

    1. Based off 1RM at 143#. No problems here, hit everything and felt good.

    2. Worked up to 160#, need to focus on correcting my back leg on the jerk, toes in, hips square.

    3. Worked up to 195#, 7 x 2, focused on depth and squeezing out of the bottom

    4. Metcon... 13:17 rx. Ugh

    5. 100 T2B in just over 11... double ugh.

  54. Did tonight coming off of 24 hrs at work. This week is terrible for scheduling.
    1. 130#-195#, missed 90% 1st time and got it 2nd time after many attempts. Did not attempt 95%.
    2. 205# stopped there bc wrist, shoulders and lower back pain and tightness. wtf is this about.
    3. 275#x2 295#x5 coming out of hole on 2nd was interesting
    4. not done, want to make up later in week if possible
    5. 13:39 Wanted to maintain sets of 5 as long as possible instead of resorting to singles as is usually my go to in WODs. Happy with consistency but tons of room for improvement still.

    1. 32:56. This took forever because I am the slowest runner in history but getting better. This is the first running WOD I have gotten through and not stopped to walk. Progress I guess.

    3. 95-105-115-125-135-145-155. Then I decided to PR my Back Squat at 190#
