    1. Why Are You Capitalizing Every Word?

      Clearly the description has a screwup in it.. Pause at the bottom of the squat.

    2. I was wondering the same preacher man. Thanks for the correction Ben.

  2. Gonna have to take a rest day thursday so did it wednesday.
    Had time so did Regionals:
    1. Hit 185# pr
    2. Stayed light to work on jerk form 225#
    3. 265
    4. done
    5. 5 complete rounds (90 reps) 16 higher than what i did in the open. could have gone harder and got more. Kind of disappointed...

    1. Darren, no offense bro but you are looking at that the wrong way. 16 reps more is huge, if you could have gotten more then do so next time. Take the positive from the situation and keep building!

  3. Had to flip the day based on equipment setup and current surroundings. Will do the oly work and squats later in the day.

    Metcon- Game planned this one possibly a little too much. 87 reps, 4 rep improvement from last time. Singles on the clean and jerk and sets of 3 on the ttb. Last time I went to failure on both which obviously didn't work. Normally I am scraping myself off the floor for metcons and I wasn't even really tired. So that let's me know that a smart/all out effort will get me pretty close to 100 reps.

    1. 1. Snatch Skills- Worked 3 position squat snatch, had to have someone come up with a snatch program that attacks my areas of improvement.

      2. Clean and Jerk Skills- Worked up to 275

      3. Squats
      3x8 Back Squats, across- 335

      4. Gymnastic Skills
      100 Shoulder taps - finished in 2:54

    1. Nice work Stas!

    2. But I feel very weak at "strength" movements such as C&Js with more than 135lbs and so on. And can't keep good pace. So now I'm going to try more strength and Oly Lifting-oriented program.

      Delete
  5. Open

    Metcon- 60 reps RX (gonna keep working the gymnastic movements since that's what slows me down) 6 rep improvement from the spring nonetheless.
    C&J- 225
    FS- 245

  6. Reg:

    Snatch- 95, 135, 155, 175, 195 (failed last rep), 175, 175, 175

    C&J- worked up to 235

    B/S- 275 across. Felt awesome.

    13.4- 90. Did not feel awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Reg:

    1. 155's

    2. worked up to 225

    3. 255 across, knees were under control, may start back on pursuit of big boy weight now.

    4. skipped due to time and fear of not having shoulders for WOD.

    5. 98, 2 rep PR from OPEN, 92 in August on a very similar day. I think that could be chalked up to improvement! TTB weren't really a problem, bar moved every time I tried, the only thing slowing me down was bar speed on recovery and a flaming lack of oxygen in my glutes and hips.

    Really happy I set a PR on this today....definitely getting better.

  8. My first post on here, my name is Josh, M/36/188... will be following the Open WOD!

    Open - 64 reps: ttb were no prob, sustaining power is my weakness as #135 c&j proved difficult...
    Pause - 174... last one was just above the knee, not a true high hang
    FS - 205 across

    Appreciate any and all feedback, thanks for letting me join in!

    1. The high hang shouldn't be anywhere near the knee, that would just be the hang. HH should be at pockets.

    2. Welcome bud. trust the programming follow it and improvement will come. great group on here and some great athletes to gauge off of.

    Ugh, tried to go today, 2 minutes into the metcon and then just couldn't go anymore. Still recovering from Monday's and Tuesday's workouts. Sore and stiff everywhere, fatigued. As a chiropractor, I would tell my patients it is a good sign to take a day off, just really hard to do. Need to increase my sleep, and look at glutamine?
    Just did 3 x3 front squats at 225.
    Hopefully full game on tomorrow.

    1. Peter - I hear you. I had one of those days too. I was "in my own head". In a weird way, I was hoping that I was becoming ill because I just didn't feel it today. It rarely happens to me, so hopefully we'll both bounce back tomorrow!!

    2. Thanks Jon, yes there is aways tomorrow to look forward to.

  15. Open:
    1) 13.4 = 61 reps, +20 rep increase over the open! Huge improvement there.
    2) C&J Complex:185# - had issues locking out the jerk. Clean & pause felt easy.
    3) FS 205-225-245

    Squatted alone, So I didn't push it today. Definitely had more in the tank.

    ReplyDelete
  16. 1) 85 across
    2) only worked up to 140
    3) 185 across. Pretty happy with this
    4) worked on shoulder taps for a while. Did not get near 100
    5) only 88, 5 reps off pr. Hoping its bc I was pretty tired after 1-4

    ReplyDelete
  17. 1. 165 for the first 3, but missed 2 total lifts, so I dropped to 155 and concentrated on keeping it close and being fast underneath of the bar and back out of the hole.

    2. Worked up to 245. Felt good, felt strong.

    3. 255, 260, 265. In june, 265 was a 3RM for a high bar BS. I was always more of a low bar squatter, especially during get huge last year. Changed to high bar to get better with the olympic lifts.

    In short, Ben will make you strong.

  21. Open:
    1. 56 reps I don't know what happened here. Unfortunately it was 4 reps less than my original attempt. I think I was watching the clock too much and thought I had more than enough time.
    2. 175# this was a squat clean & jerk. I forgot that it was supposed to be a HH. Again, I guess my head wasn't in the game.
    3. 155# x 3 across

    Looking forward to tomorrow.

    1. 90 reps; 3 less than the open, accidentally did 15 TTB on the set of 12 (broke it up 10 an 5). If I hadn't made that mistake I think I would have at least hit my open score of 93, if not beat it. Oh well, have to concentrate better :). Did singles on C&J's.

    37 reps. 13 more reps then when I first did this one. I had just started CrossFit a few months prior to the Open.

    I did the Front Squats. Should have gone heavier. 95-105-115

  55. Open Program
    1) 85 - down a few from Open. Tried to string more c&j together and I think it backfired as my t2b sucked really bad. I'd be fine not seeing this one for a long time, just a mental thing with it.
    2) up to 215 - stopped before form really deteriorated
    3) 225, 245, 265 - last set felt good. Nice way to finish after a poor metcon.
