Hey fellow competitors,
ReplyDeleteIt didn't feel right to just disappear from the board so I thought I should let you guys know that I am taking a break from the competitor's site right now
I haven't been feeling well and just need to focus on health right now
Hope to be back soon
Be well Belinda. Keep us posted. Remember, this is a community. We are stronger together.

Did Saturday's work yesterday at 5pm due to fiance birthday on Saturday, so doing today's at my normal 6am felt rough.
ReplyDelete1) 300. Not a PR, tried 315 and kept getting halfway up. Excited I maintained good position though, as I could not keep it at maximal loads before.
2) 4, not a PR but very sore from the bench EMOM.
3) 240 Rx. finished WB at 9:29, took 25 sec break due to shoulders on fire before attempting DU. Finished DU at 10:59. Immediate went to the rings with no rest. Thought I would get a MU but I couldn't get the dip to save my life. More aggressive on WB will leave me with some rest time before the MU.
4) 135 across. Felt awesome.
5) worked up to 205.
Smoked and going to bed early tonight.
Quick question for you guys, when we do back squats, how long do you guys rest? During these last few weeks work has made it so I can only rest 2 minutes or so. Before the change, I would normally rest 3-4 minutes. Although I didn't PR during workouts everything has felt lighter so I am happy about that. Just curious. I always try to keep it around 90 minutes per session.
DeleteOther than just doing more of them, does anyone have any tips on improving Wall Balls & Thrusters? They are probably my weakest movement because I just gas so quickly when doing them. Not entirely sure why. I know it's a general question because maybe it's a form issue (though I don't believe so), but if anyone has tried and succeeded at drastically improving on these 2 movements in the past, I'd love to hear it. Thanks y'all.
ReplyDeleteI am by no means elite at those movements, but what really helped me was increasing my front squat strength and positioning. The second thing was timing the downward portion, I try to catch the ball or rack the bar about 1/2 way in the front squat. This creates a bounce for me which shoots them back up. And the last thing was breathing, I breathe in and out and the bottom and at the top. That took a while to get down, but made a world of a difference. Before that I would be gasping for air and muscles burning. Now the muscles just burn. Hope some of this helps!
DeleteTim,
DeleteI've worked on the same issue for the past couple of years and it has gotten a ton better. The secret for me was strength + smart pacing. I knocked out two cycles of the 12 week Hatch squat program and saw huge strength gains that ultimately turned into improved met con all around...including wall balls. From there RELAX and focus your pacing to keep your heart rate from blasting through your eyeballs too soon...then work on increasing the pace over time. Example - during the open I broke WB into sets of 12, 10, and 8. 5 rounds of that and you were through without too much pain. Today I did 30, 25, 20, 15 and then 2 rounds of 12, 10, 8, which enabled a PR. Had I tried that in the open, I probably would not have had the gas to make it through many MU.
Just my two cents. Hope it helps!
4x/wk: Squat Therapy - deliberate practice, not going through the motions.
Delete1x/wk: Use the close grip OHS (max weight with grip thumb distance apart) as a test for how your Squat Therapy is coming along
1x/wk: Tabata air squats - for low score.
If you have a "mature" squat and can rip out 22+ tabata - thrusters and wall balls = puppies and bubble gum.

Today was a good day.

3. 246, +5 from open. (150@ 6:43, 90@ 8:28) Got my first muscle up 3 days before Open, so I guess this is a good improvement. Really thought I'd be further along in MUs though.

ReplyDelete270! 10 rep PR from the Open last year. Really pumped about how my legs aren't nearly as crippled as they were last year. I couldn't walk for four days after this workout last year, and I feel relatively fine comparatively. Thanks again Ben! This shi* is definitely working!
WB: 50-40-30-20-10
DU: 54-36
MU: 2's the entire way until the end when I went two singles (this is what I'll try to attack differently next time if this shows up again. I like Dex's capabilities and plan of attack)

I came back to Atlanta from Chicago with a cold, so I am proud with my numbers.
Open
ReplyDelete1) 245 2 Rep PR from Opens. This is a small number PR, however its a huge deal. The wall balls were very manageable and never got metabolically challenging. about a minute faster than last time. Dubs were always at my worse after wall balls but not this time. Got right into them, still had to break them up and stumbled a couple times but huge improvement here. My muscle ups were inefficient due to early arm pull, this was brought to my attention post WOD. This is actually good news, as I thought I had lost my pulls. But just inefficient technique makes way more sense. Should be an easy fix. Overall pleased
2&3 No time, wish I had time for this.

2014 Regional & Games:
ReplyDelete1. 365# (easy). Extremely disappointed on this. Stayed the same as last time. Goal was 405 but missed 405 twice and missed 385 once. Just disgusted with myself.
2. 4 (PR +1). I got 4 twice and barely missed the 5th twice which is what my goal was. Happy about this one but I still have a long way to go.
3. 254. First time doing this workout so I was pretty happy with this score. Sets of 50-40-30-20-10 UB wall balls. DU's were scattered but ok. Started MU's with roughly 4:30 left on the clock and hit 13 singles then 2 fails and finally got my 14th. Like I said earlier I really need work on my ring MU's.
4. 95#
5. Worked up to 200#
Finished wall balls without dropping the ball that was my goal Rx weight When tired bear hugged it. Finished du and got in 4 muscle ups on rings before clock ran out.

2) worked up to 85

Last year i finished them at about 8 mins, today was about 9:30. got 5 mu's in less than a minute compared to 4 mu's in 2:30 last year. I think if i did this fresh i would have had 10+. Those OTM's really paying off on MU's.
