    Metcon: 13:57, no excuses, but bad on the TTB as hands became numb in the cold we are having here, but wallballs were solid.

    Snatch squats: 5 x 2 at 135

    1. I ordered a pair of Mechanix gloves to try to help with this. I hope they fit and keep grip well. I never anticipated how much the cold affects your hand grip!

      Delete
    2. yes, I use my Mechanix gloves, they are great, especially for things like wall balls or burpees in the cold, but still hard working with a cold bar as in snatches or TTB. A lot of times I will take them off for a bit until they get too cold when using a bar and then have to put them back on. They are definitely better then no gloves, good thing is hopefully we won't need them in a few weeks.

  9. Hi Guys. I recently stumbled upon this awesome blog, and I'm gonna give it a try, asap.

    I have a couple of questions regarding the program.

    Do you "only" do the listed Work on the blog, or do you supply with cycles of Strict OH Press, Chins, Rows, ect. ect.?

    In the Program Philosohy, a Gym Benchmark is done on monday, but I don't see one listed today. Do I just pick my own?

    And final question. Is the volume (and rest periods) high enough to get strong in the OL lifts? I have no experience with OL lifting, only powerlifting.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Currently, the "Program Philosophy" is being deviated from a bit because we are approaching the Crossfit Open. Ben isn't programming some of the items you mention, or going as heavy with strength programming, because he is preparing us for the higher rep, lower weight workouts the Open typically has. If you look back a month or more, you'll see the programming fits more closely to the Program Philosphy, although he does deviate as he feels we should. Typically there is no need to add in additional strength work.

      If you have no interest in optimizing for the Open, by all means add in your own Strength cycle. But if you want to just "Trust in Ben", then I would recommend following CompWOD as prescribed and plan to do so for at least 1 year. He has a great program that is the next best thing to having him personally create a program for you.

      If your goal is to focus only on Olympic lifts, this may not be your best option. There are plenty of Blogs that do very Olympic lift centric workouts, whereas CompWOD makes you a very rounded X-fitter, not just an Oly lifter who does X-fit. Don't get me wrong, we do plenty of Olympic Lifting here, but it really depends on what you are looking for as your primary goals.

    2. DO THIS PROGRAMMING. It's the best decision I have ever made. If you want to add more strength then I'd go with the regionals programming. Since I've started, my c&j has improved by 60lbs and my snatch 50! Not to mention the improvement in my metcons, which is unbelievable. In my opinion, there is no better programming than this.

      Delete
    3. I agree with you Austin. I have seen huge gains since I have started this programming back in August.

    1) 11:34 - first 50 WBs unbroken. By the 30 rep round I started having issues with the rebound off the wall. The ball wasn't rebounding as much as usual and it threw me off. I think I was throwing it at too shallow an angle. Need to clean that up a bit.

    2) 95, 115, 135, 135, 155 failed to stand the last one up but had a remarkable back roll :-)

    10:22... T2b slowed me down a little but I definitely should have broken 10, although if I did this workout a few months ago I'm sure I would have been over 14.

    1. 13:29 20# WB @9ft target

    I was really happy with how I was able to break this down (large WB sets). I just need to shorten my breaks between sets. My T2Bs have improved so much since I started following this programming that it's ridiculous. I'm almost hoping to see them in the Open?!

    2. EMOM5 - 2 x Squat Snatch @ 115# (85%) I had a couple of misses, but for the most part, they felt pretty good. I was pulling well and getting under the bar pretty well.

    QUESTION FOR THE CREW: My biggest issue at the moment is that my wrists are KILLING me while snatching and OHS? I don't typically like to use braces, belts, etc. because I don't want to be come dependent on them, but I'm starting to think I should start using wrist wraps. Has anyone else gone through this? Maybe it's just bad form or a bad grip...thoughts? Thanks!

    1. I've heard of people developing problems with their wrists from their grip being to wide on the overhead movements i.e. Snatch and OHS. Not sure if that's an issue for you just thought I'd throw that out there. Try moving your grip a little narrower and take some stress off of the wrist joint

      Delete
    2. Ok, thanks - I'll give it a shot!

    3. My wrists started bothering me as I got a little better at this and started using heavier weights. I had the same concerns as you. I now have wrist wraps and my wrists feel much better.

  67. This whole workout was a shit show, done outside on a mil base. Just one of those you take for what it is and move on. Doing oly work in 90 degree heat with 80 something percent humidity was ridiculous. Sweaty big white dude. Had to scale down weights because of grip.

    1. EMOMx5
    2 Squat Snatches - 135

    2. EMOMx5-225

    3. EMOMx5-315

    4. Metcon- had to change for equipment reasons.
    For time:
    50-40-30-20-10 Wall Balls, 20/14
    50-40-30-20-10 ab-mat situps- 10:56

  72. Open Program
    1) 12:28 - pleased with this since T2B are a weak spot, but man there are some fast times here.
    2) Accidentally did Tuesdays clean work. Got up to 185, did 195 but failed the high hang. Tried just the high hang after a break and hit it.
