  3. 1. EMOMx10- I had all kinds of ideas for the SC's but since the focus was on the CTB I dropped the cleans all the way down to 135. Missed 10 on the last 4 mins.

    Rest 10 minutes

    2. EMOMx10
    6" plus deficit, didn't measure. Guys you are going to have to plan this out way better than I did. I had my paralettes too far away from the rower. I made 15 cals easy the first 3 rounds but by the time I made it to the paralletes and back I ran out of time. It became an AMRAP instead of an EMOM, hit 8 complete rounds.

    Rest 10 minutes

    3. EMOMx10
    Complete with 185. This was puketastic. Could have gone higher on back squat, could not have gone higher on Front squats.

    Rest 10 minutes

    4. EMOMx10- Complete, missed 15 seconds on the last round.

  4. Open:
    1) #155/ 5... at about rd 6 pwr cleans started mixing in. Kept all c2b unb and that was the goal!

    2) #155... did a lot of front rack stuff this week so FS proved difficult!

    ReplyDelete
  5. 1. Cleans @ 185# w/ 6 C2B
    2. 45+25+10 lb bumper plates for deficit; First 3 rounds finished in time, fell behind from there finished all 150 cals and DHSPU's in 13:20ish
    3. These high volume squats really highlight the quad dominance of my squat (i.e. quad fatigue sets in very quickly). First round 205, Next 2 rounds at 185, Last 2 rounds at 155.
    4. Done w/ 5 ring rows; core still tight from GHD's on Tuesday

    1. 1) Started @ 185 but turned into a ninja at 6th min on c2b and scaled to 155...

      2) Just completed 10rounds ...
      Couldn't keep up with time.

      3) Done @ 145 going up to 185.

  9. Question on squat cleans. If we are going the ninja route is it ok to drop on the squat cleans at heavier weight or keep a weight we can still TnG? Doing this tonight after work in the garage.

    1. Clayton I went with a weight I thought I could move well. My first 7 rounds were TnG. The last three were done as fast singles. Grip got blown up. Good luck!

    2. Thanks Michael. I unfortunately had a change of plans and need to push this back until Sunday. Screwy work schedule during the holidays. Looking forward to getting back into a consistent routine after the new year.

    3. 185 lbs. and managed to stay on the clock. Happy with that.
    4. Just horrific and not worth discussing.

    Much tougher day than it appeared on paper.

    1) 185# - footwork was pretty bad on the cleans. C2B were very smooth

    Hope everyone is having a great holiday!
    1) Squat cleans with 135, started with 10 C2B, ended up soon scaling to 8, than 6 (certainly not a beast!)
    2) row/HSPU: started with 15 calories, soon went to 12 calories on the row, 3 strict HSPU
    2) 10 back,5 front squat: used 155, actually felt better and better as rounds went on, should have gone heavier
    4) chop fire wood for an hour, having a true Canadian winter!

  24. Had a full gym today with friends from out of town and they wanted to do a team workout, so did my best to try to get some of the stimulus.

    EMOM x 10
    3 squat Cleans (increasing) + 1 strict c2b + 2 c2b - I got to 195# pullups didn't let go.

    2. Then we did this :
    Each team member completes the following:
    15 OHS
    15 strict press
    20 burpees each
    15 front squats
    15 push press
    20 burpees eavh
    15 back squats
    15 push jerks
    20 burpees each

    We did 95, 115, 135, I probably could have went a little heavier. But my partner couldn't have. Was really fun though, had 5 teams going and we won.

    3. 3 rounds
    500m row
    20 GHDSU
    20 Hip Ext

    Didn't time but went all out.

  28. Open 5'10"/174/37

    1. Completed with 115# and 3 C2Bs. This is the most unbroken C2Bs that I've ever done (one miss but I didn't let go of the bar!)
    2. Complete with 115#. I really should have done it with 135, but I didn't take much rest in between sets and I was beat from round 1.

  30. 1. 3 TnG cleans at 155. 8-10 C2B for the first 6 rounds, then it got to be 6 Ctb. The christmas season has not treated my gymnastics capabilities well if you know what I mean. I am up about 10# from thanksgiving. I feel like I am doing pull-ups with a vest on. Saboteurs and they're delicious cookies...

    2. Couldn't keep up, respect to the guys that did. 8 Rounds at a 4" Deficit.

    3. Done at 165. All I can say is during this workout, I had to go away to another place mentally, and that place was punching Ben in the face.

    4. Done. Had sort of a tuck thing going on for the L-sits. Couldn't hold up my legs after those squats.

  31. Merry Christmas guys, been doing the work but haven't been posting, partly because we have been without power for a few days (Canada-Ice storm). Congrats to the newly engaged!!

    1. SC+ CTB: Focusing on the squat cleans, overshot it at 275 and switched to 255, Chest to bar went to shit but only because I was sucking wind on the Squat cleans, normally that's my jam tho... Think I missed the point of this one tho, urgghh

    2. ROW+ HSPU: got it done - 1 minute behind, Paralletes

    3. BS/ FS: 185, probably could have gone heavier here. All good.

    4. L -Sit + Ring extensions: Done as rx

  38. 1. Used 155 and did 6 C2B on rounds 1-8. My goal was to move as quickly and efficiently as possible through these. Each round was kept between 20-22 seconds. Rounds 9 & 10 I did 10 C2B. They were around 28-30 seconds.

    2. This turned into an AMRAP. Did 7 full rounds. Figured out a more efficient way to pull for the row on round 4 and started catching back up. Used roughly a 6 inch deficit.

    3. 155 for this. I've been relying on a belt a lot lately so I didn't use one at all on this. Legs felt pretty good, lower back, not so much. Any advice here?

    4. Done. Stuck with 5 ring extensions.

    Today was tough

    ReplyDelete
  39. 1) 80kg squat clean & 5 C2B pull-ups. Stayed EMOM. Stayed unbroken until round 6. But, missed round 7.
    2) Row 10 Calories + 3 HSPU. Stayed EMOM
    3) HBBS & FS @ 70kg. Might of went a little light, but I was pretty tired by then.

  40. Regionals tonight !!
    1. Done at 105. 3 Squat cleans tng + 2 C2B with regular grip. I always do c2b with an alternate grip but want to be able to do them more efficiently.

    2. EMOM 6cal row + 2 deficit HSPU (45lb rogue plate)

    3. Did with 95 lb bar. Should of read the blog again before starting because I thought it was 10 bs+5 fs all in a min. So I did 20 OTM 10 back squat odd min + 5 front squat even min. Double the time ... Oh well I needed the squat work!

    1. Oops, realized I messed up and tarted the sq clean/c2b portion as an odd/even minute thing. No wonder it felt pretty easy. Oh well, it allowed me to really push the envelope on the squat WOD afterwards.
