  1. Good day everyone!

    1. Metcon - 3:28. Were few no reps at BJs. And I was too slow at last DL every round.
    2. Sotts. Wow. It was challenge to my mobility. Did 45, 77, 95, 95, 100

    3. Hoho. I didn't notice TTBs at metcon.
      Mike, thanks. It was really hard to me

    4. Stas, true story. Most days you are the only person who does it before me so most of the time I base my pacing off your time. Well based off your time I sprinted hard, I was thoroughly bummed when I hit 4:34 and I wondered how you could have beat me by 1 min in an old fashioned thrashing. I see you left off the TTB's but either way thanks for the motivation brother!

    5. Jeremy, cool story. Happy that my mistake made you to crash this metcon!

    6. I normally try not to get too caught up with what everyone is doing, but when I checked in this morning and saw your low Metcon, I couldn't help but think that I should be able to AT LEAST complete the Metcon in less than 6 minutes - especially since I was scaling! After my first round I looked at the clock and saw that 3:15 had passed and I thought to myself: "wow, I wouldn't have been able to keep up with Stas if I was just using a PVC pipe".

      In any case, as Jeremy said, it pushed me and that's all that matters. Nice work, regardless.

    1. Nice metcon time. see below post ha

    2. Bussom, have you or your box looked into Crossover Symmetry? My left shoulder has been hurt for the last 4 years from Jiu Jitsu and I am internally rotated to boot. This has helped big time with overhead movements and surprisingly with MU's and butterfly pullups. No dull pain anymore. Worth a shot.

    1. Forgot to mention I didn't have chains and for some reason didn't think about standing on the bands, was thinking I needed d-rings bolted to the floor, so I didn't use bands and just went heavy. Now I'll know for next to use bands and just step on them.

      Delete
    2. Elite FTS actually has bands they made specifically to step on vs having D-rings bolted to the floor or a platform. It's their pro short bands.

      Delete
  7. 2. Pull- Used one black Rogue band doubled over, seemed like it added about 50 at the bottom and about 150 at the top. Used 135, 225, 245, 265, 265

    3 Metcon- Tried something new on TTB and it paid off, only broke up the set of 15 which I was thoroughly happy with. 4:34

    4. Row- Pyramid with 1:1 rest to work, 100m, 200m, 300m, 400m, 500m, 400m, 300m, 200m, 100m. Tried to get a negative split on the second interval

    20, 40, 60, 1:20, 1:39, 1:19, 58, 39, 17 (just as hard as I remembered)

    2. Great time bro! I have to ask.....What's the T2B trick?

      Delete
    3. Damn bro, sick time! Rd of 15 is the only one I broke up as well on the t2b, but my deadlifts sucked today for some reason!

      Delete
    4. @Bussom, about 6 months ago after repeatedly watching the Chris Spealler efficiency tips for TTB and KTE I started trying to shoot my feet straight down and minimize the swing. I worked and I worked to try to get this down but all it did to me was tire out my hip flexors way before my grip ever felt it. I was so frustrated with the way TTB were going I said screw it and started swinging on the kip. It was like a brand new movement today and it paid off on the work out. I don't know if my body type is not suited for the way Chris says to do it or if my hip flexors just aren't strong enough. This worked much better for me. Including the video for reference.

      Delete
    5. Nice work Jeremy! I'm a lot smaller then you but I find that getting a nice extension on my kip allows me to be more relaxed and breathe every rep. When I shorten it up it feels worse... so I support you haha

      Delete
    6. Jeremy..BIG THANKS! I am with you, my grip is not the issue, it's my kip...I'll try anything....thanks for the tips and link! Keep hammer the wods, it's funny chasing you

  9. Reg:

    Sumo DL- used a green band (I can only assume it was rogue, maybe again faster. Regardless...) did 135, 185, 225, 275, 275

    Metcon- 6:45 TTB sucked. Everything else was fine.

    Rowing- just rowed at regular pace (1:48-2:05) for 1677. Putting in meters for Lysa.

  10. Reg:

    1. maybe 6' ish? that was wierd, tried a few times, can see how practice would make that better, but don't really see the point in spending too much time on it.

    2. Stretched a green band across and stood on it, 135, 185, 225, 275, 275, wanted to try and maintain speed and still getting comfortable in sumo stance.

    3. 5:01, unbroken on all, must have wasted too much time on taking a breath before grabbing the bar.

    was pretty wrecked after this, so sat around for a bit before rowing a 2k, not really for time.

  43. 1. Done, not sure how far or how high. I was clearing a mat though, so 6-7'ish. Fun stuff.

    2. Ha we made a pretty cool rig. Wrapped a few bands around a stall mat and stood on it, worked well. We think there was about 50-75# of resistance at the top. Scale was really weird so we're not sure. But on the bar was, 225, 245, 275, 295, 315. Took what we knew about westside, and figured this might be considered the dynamic day so we kept it on the lighter side of things and kept the speed as fast as we could.

    3. Was really happy with this, all unbroken, never came off the bar, transitions were a bit slow, but I was determined to go unbroken. 6:33

    4. I program for our gym, so I tested out a workout I dubbed as, "Muddy Waters" 3rft, 500m row, 15 burpees. Pretty ugly. Bout 9 minutes, but I felt like crap after the 21-15-9.

    Stayed and hit some bench press and played with some levers, too.
