Dang. You have yourself quite a roster for your event! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteHad to skip the EMOM. One session.
ReplyDelete2. 20 Rep Benchmark- Hang Power Cleans. Had 12 at 185 and lost the hook grip, got 165 really easily right after. I think I'll have 185-200(+) when my grip isn't fried from a triple fran.
3. Metcon- No GHD, did:
100-80-60-40-20 Double unders
50-40-30-20-10 Abmat situps
Timer died mid workout, every round of double unders except 2 unbroken (100 and 40), situps unbroken. It actually felt faster than the last time I did regular Annie.

3. 8:14 rx broke once on the 100 and once on the 80. dumb big feet
4 . done. my 4am reading read 4x475 which I thought was a weird distance but I don't question the coach . he could tell me to row 10x 5meters and I would believe it would make me better. so didn't quite do it right. oops. maybe that was my body telling my brain to simmer down it still hurts from yesterday. good day though.
Did Fran: 2:35 Pr by more than 1min.

ReplyDeleteAnnie - 6:29, this is about a 6 sec pr. I've done Annie now about 4 times over the past 6 months and consistantly get between 6:36 & 6:38. Getting a pr under 6:30 was cool but I think I've hit my thresh hold for this WOD. I am moving as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Everything is unbroken barring a trip on du... thougts, comments?
BJ - 8:33... better than I thought I'd do. Avg :45 sec rest inbetween. My rebounding got quicker as I went along, all unb!

ReplyDelete1) 7:23 Way off my PR, usually in the 6 something range.. Sit ups were slow this morning, Dubs weren't great but not a

4) 2:38, 2:51, 2:56, 2:56. Normally do 1:45 split on 501m-1000m went for 1:39 on the first one and it killed me.
Last few days of training have been great. Stretching, mobility and some light activity definitely required tomorrow
OPEN
ReplyDelete1 - 5:51 PR - DUs were great. Sit ups are slow and I slide everywhere when doing them. Any suggestions to increase efficiency and reduce movement?
2 - 3:41 - took about a 10 sec break between each set
What is Games Standards for range of motion of situps?
ReplyDeleteOften see people instructed to get shoulders touching floor at bottom and shoulders in front of hip at the top.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAnnie: 8:26. Situps are a major weakness. I have no idea why. All DUs unbroken except for set of 40, 2 sets.
ReplyDeleteBJs: 3:05, no missteps.
Question for you guys. On the rows, should they be all out or pick a controlled pace?
ReplyDeleteI always write down my splits for every workout and distance. I think consistency is better than all out effort for the end of the workout rowing. I have always assumed it was skill practice. When rowing is in the actual metcon I will usually try to go slightly faster pace than I practice. If I go on feel, I will crash and burn more often than not, often ending up much slower than I am capable of
DeleteMike a lot to consider here. A lot of the interval work we see top athletes doing lately on rowers, airdynes, etc maintains 1:1 work rest or sustainable paces. While this can be very useful for building lower power sustainable capacity, it too can cheat us out of the benefits of variance and high intensity efforts.
DeleteSo if your recent trend has been doing a lot of slower mores sustainable splits it might be time to rev the engine up and try and hold on for dear life.
Thanks guys. Lately I've just been going all out, and as you said, James, "holding on for dear life." This does cause a slight difference in my split times, though.
DeleteReg:
ReplyDelete1. Done but did both movements every minute, didnt read it right. Snatch pulls started at 135, added 5-10lbs everytime. Jumped to the 10ft wallball mark.
2. 215x20, 225x18
3. Done, untimed
4. DNF
(2.) was all Hang Power Cleans
DeleteOpen
ReplyDeleteAnnie: 9:46 - Took me while to get my groove on w/ the DUs.
Box jumps - 4:47 including breaks. Wasn't sure how much break to take between sets. So I opted for a handful of seconds. Lost balance on a rep during the first round and repeated the 21s.

ReplyDeleteAnnie 6:33 RXd - 6 minute PR from 4 months ago

4. After I teach tonight.
1. Made it a high box jump (42") and did the snatch pulls from 185-275. Up 10 lbs a minute.
ReplyDelete2. 205. All power and felt easy until the grip got sticky at about rep 16. Could mayyybe fight for 225 in the future.
3. Hate deviating from a program but had to get in the purepharma challenge from my buddy Alec Smith. 3 rounds of 10 triple unders and a 20 meter unbroken handstand walk. If you break on the hs walk, the penalty is 3 burpee backflips. Finished in 2:43. Trips are hard. Did a lot of well... tripping.
4. Ugh. 2:35, 2:38, 2:40, 2:39. Biceps and quads after yesterday.

B) 20RM Hang Cleans
165 easy. Went to 205 and got 12 reps. Then dropped to 185 and got 20 easy.
C) metcon done in 10:33. Double unders for volume is a weakness.
D) 4 x 750m row
1) 2:41 2) 2:47 3) 2:52 4) 3:01
Hamstrings get so tired when I row over 500m. Any suggestions or is that a good thing?
Andrew, I used to row in college. Tired or tight hamstrings can often mean you are pulling yourself up the "slide" with your feet, instead of just letting yourself glide up naturally. Its a common issue because you want to get up to the catch quickly to take another stroke. This video does a very good job of showing and talking about this and a drill to correct it. It will take time to correct at intensity though since you are used to going balls-out the way you currently row: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grxVHi5LpRo
DeleteThanks Chris. Will start fixing this.
Delete1. done worked up to 305#, jumped to a 10ft target and grabbed it every time. mixing it up.
ReplyDelete2. 20rm hang clean: 225#, all power, could have went heavier probably.

ReplyDelete1. Annie 8:53 Rx (All unbroken, except for the first round, where I got tripped up on the last 12.) This was the first time I have ever done this work, so no comparisons to think about. The sit ups were much harder than I thought they were going to be.
2. Complete, but started at 15.
Finished with a 5x5 set of squats to see if I can start making some improvements on form and efficiency.
Open/Masters 43
ReplyDeleteAnnie: 8:10, paced way too slow on this, but had way less trips with DU's
Box jumps: 5:50, including 15-20 second breaks between sets
10 x OTM: power clean, front squat and jerk with 185
Regionals
ReplyDelete1) worked up to 275
2) did 195 grip was pretty tight today maybe could have done 205
3) 10:22 this was awful DU is always a big goat wasn't a wind or anything just couldn't string many together my biggest set in the whole workout was 20 everything else 10ish
4) row splits 2:39, 2:44, 2:43,2:38 these weren't that bad paced a bit too much. I think I need to take James Hobart's advice and just go as hard as possible and try to hang on for dear life.
A bit disappointed with the day need to work on DU's more.
2014 REGIONAL & GAMES ATHLETES-Baseball this morning before school so had to do this in the afternoon.

Im starting to taper for competition this weekend, so only followed part of the programming today because im still trying to heal the issue in my leg before the weekend and the dubs and box jumps would have murdered it.

1. Didn't measure jump. Worked up to 235 lbs. (with straps). These felt great.
2. I don't want to talk about it. Attempted 155 got 14 and lost grip. Stripped weights down to 135 and went again. Got 18 and lost grip on 19. Bummer.
3. 8:41. My hip flexors were on fire during the GHDSU. Ouch.
4. Today was a big rowing day at our gym so I couldn't get on a rower unless I did the class. So I did what we call Rowing Cincy. Row 1200m 10 rounds of Cindy (with HR push-ups) and then end with a 1200m row. 18:52. 0:03 PR. I am really noticing that my PR's are getting quite tiny. Lol.

ReplyDelete1. "Annie" 7:37. 20 sec PR but felt like I coulda gone faster. Tripped up too many times on DUs and sit-ups slowed down too much. Ah well..
2. Done, 6:12. Had to redo sets 15 and 12. Box jumps are still a goat for me, esp rebounding ones. Thanks for making me work on them!
Lungs felt great today, although it was a light cardio day. I think Fran cleared some gunk out for me :)
Also did OTM10 10-15 HS shoulder taps. Got tough.. But felt great to work these. Started out thinking I could do 20 per round, toned it down to 15. Thought I could maintain 15 but quickly dropped down to 12 then 10. Funny how I always overestimate my ability.... Guess I'm an optimist?

Very excited about this! Just started getting DU consistently about 4 weeks ago when we started following this programming. Got 31 straight in rd1 a new record and the round of 20 was unbroken - Cloud 9!
6:12 - BJ - I did step downs, not willing to spring back up for fear of injury - i'm old and 3 acl surgeries i never plan on anything other than step downs - so i just tried very hard not to rest at all at the bottom. Missed on #21 in the 1st round - that sucked. :-)
