    METCON - 9:15, holy grip!

    Pause Squat Clean - I did these bass akwards (hip, mid, knee), hope I didn't miss the benefit, but still found it challenging. 135/135/145/155/165/175/185, failed at mid on this last one.

  4. 1) Max Height Box Jump - 133.35cm (52.5in) (2inches off old Pb)

    2). PB on 20 Rep Max Deadlift @ 275lbs (125kg) (touch and go)

    3). "Black and Blue"
    Time - 4:43 (30 second PB)

    Breakdown - First 4 Rounds of Power Cleans done in 5,5 with a 4-5 second break in between. NO BREAK on the burpees.
    -- Last Round of Power Cleans - 4,3,2,1 (2 second rest between bar drop)

    This time on the metcon I focused on trying to do Tall Cleans and not catching it in a partial squat at all, this saved my quads A LOT ! On the burpees, in the second round, i did step backs and then jumped forward. This also helped me keep moving without any breaks. Felt amazing


    4). ROWING

    1. Black & Blue - 9:56 Rx - First time I have ever done this, and probably wouldn't have even attempted it 6 months ago. 135 definitely got heavy in rounds 3, 4, & 5! Start with 5/5 and then switched to 3/3/2/2 for the last three rounds.

    2. 135, 145, 145, 155, 155, 165, 165

    1. I changed up the program a little bit here since my 1 RM vertical jump has been exactly the same since I was 14 and I don't see it improving at this point in my life! I did 5 36" box jumps every 0:30 for 5 minutes.
    2. 275 lbs. I have never done a 20 RM for deadlifts before so I just guessed. I easily had 20-25 more pounds in me. Next time.
    3. "Black & Blue" 5:45 Rx. 0:08 PR. Those that are breaking 5:00 on this are mean, mean badgers.
    4. This hurt really bad. 500m splits in parentheses. 3:38.0 (1:49), 2:38.7 (1:46), 1:42.4 (1:42), 0:46.6 (1:34), 1:41.2 (1:41), 2:45.0 (1:50), 3:46.1 (1:53).

  15. I forgot to add yesterday's piece to so hear it is:

    4x2 emom Back Squat- 405,405,405,405,415- should have gone to 420-435 across felt great
    Metcon from last week I missed:
    50'HSW
    15 PC-205
    50'HSW
    30 TTB
    50'HSW
    15 OHS-205

    9:07


    1) Vertical Jump- 31.25"
    2) 20 rep deadlift- 345- should have attempted 365 this was pretty easy

    3) Black and Blue: 5:27 Rx'd- Burpees got me today.. Way harder than I wanted it to be... the deadlift x 20 may have hindered this a bit!

    4) Row-PM

    ReplyDelete
  16. 1) no measuring tape did 30"box with 2 45#bumpers and a 25#bumper. (I'm definitely a white boy)

    2) 20 rm deadlift- 315#

    3) metcon "Black and Blue": 7:13 rx

    1) "Black and Blue": 4:47 Rx. All cleans TnG. Had a good mindset going into this with Mr. Ogar still on my mind. Thank you, God, for our healthy bodies and may we never take them for granted!
    2) pause squat clean complex: 165, 185, 195, 205, 210, 215, 220. No misses.
    3) gonna try to do the rowing later

    1) 4:59 - really well paced for the most part. All cleans TnG. Paced the burpees until the end, so last two rounds were the fastest. Have room to increase the burpee pace though...I'm sure it will be needed for the open.

    2) 135, 185, 185, 185, 205, 205, 215 - Was jumping forward a bit when going from the knees so kept it a little lighter. Much better by the end.

    COACH/COMMUNITY QUESTION - Before following this awesome programming I would do 3 position starting from pockets, then mid thigh, then ground or knees. My thinking was to build top down so by the time I went from the ground, I could think about the 1st two positions I previously hit. What's the advantage of starting bottom up instead? To be clear, not questioning the programming, just trying to increase my own knowledge so I can pass it on to my own box members! Thanks.

    1. 31" PR tie, but given how my legs feel. I'll take it.

    3. Did half of the row workout - 1:44 pace for the 1000m, but couldn't keep it for the 750... My 250m was a 1:37 pace. I'm new to rowing, but it highlights my tendency to go out too fast and hit a brick wall.

  66. Scaling back this week for a 2 day competition this weekend. Did Tuesday's work yesterday and today.

    1. 0.25" P.R.
    2. 315#
    3. 6:11, Tried step-back burpees until 5th rnd which I think are slower but also seem a tad easier. Fastest round was about 51 seconds. PCs all fast (20ish secs) so its all on my burpees if I want to PR next time.
    4. Skipped.

    Rest of week will be skills and mobility.

  73. Humbling day! I'm a couple days behind so hit this today (Thursday) and will run straight through a day behind.
    I'm doing 'Regionals' because I have my first ever comps booked for this summer, so I'm thinking more about that than the Open - miles off being in my top shape in the next 5 weeks after injury and then opening a box!
    Anyways...
    - Max box jump (-4" PR)... had more but kept brain-farting when it came time to lift-off. Set a timer for 5 minutes to stop me messing about.

    - 20 rep deadlift - 120kg (265lbs). Never done this before so guessed. Could have gone a little heavier but this is deceptive! Felt ok except for the last five reps but all TnG... then my heart raced for a couple minutes after!

    - BlacknBlue
    Rx'd 7:38
    1st round TnG, then they weren't! Still a little wary of my forearm and its the catch back to hang that flares it a little still. No excuses this is a good 1:30 off where I should be.

    -Row (huge Goat, I'm essentially a midget)
    3:40/2:45/1:49/0:48/1:47(-2)/2:52(+7)/3:53(+13).

    Nice to get so much volume in (been a while for me). Great days programming.

  75. Regionals
    Am a bit behind bc of vacation
    FS 4 x5 at 175 across
    string mu's: 2 every :90s x 5. Mostly technique
    Row wod
    3:49,2:51,1:53,:56, 1:50 (-3), 2:48(-3), 3:49 same. Was not properly warmed up at start so 1/2 way in felt better. The row was a mental game.
