  1. Did this today ( Wednesday) for my second session since I'll be traveling from Friday. 150 is easily obtainable if you using 20# wall ball and doing this fresh. Best of success to everyone doing it

    METCON
    Score = 132 Wall Balls (20# BALL)

  2. What's a "same stimulus" sub for monkey bars?

    1. I'd say just use your rig and literally hand over hand navigate around laterally or whatever you can do ninja warrior style

      Delete
    2. May do a barbell or double kb overhead carry - not the same as monkey bars (push rather than pull) but would make HS walk harder - let me know what you guys decide ill try and do the same

      Delete
    3. Hey dex I'm thinking about pushing our rings together and doing it laterally or some variation with trial and error method I'll be sure to post what I find since I'll be doing it early

    4. I usually get in pretty early (0630), but I generally have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. If you are really interested, we can definitely make it work.

    5. Michael, what's your email? I'll send you an email and we can try and work something out. I'm a morning guy too, but not sure how that would work being an hour away.

    2. Awesome job. Let's chase that hundred...

    3. Good job Michael, leading the way again!

    4. Nice one Michael! You could get a hundred should you do it again tomorrow. I woud bet $50 on it.
      As for me you beat my ass. I got 73 Wb :/ Not to make excuses, but I had to fire an employee for the first time as a business owner and it stressed me out. Amazing how stress affects performance.

      On another note, I am from Tampa, but live Atlanta. I will be visiting the Bay soon soon, so we will have to meet up for a training session.

      Delete
    5. Thanks Victor. Firing somebody is the worst. I am too big of a softy. It always haunts me forever.

      Absolutely, let me know when you are coming and we can meet up.

  15. This was one of those days that made me HATE having a 9-5. Didn't get outta the gym till about 8:30, took forever to set up the rings for monkey swings.
    1. Pulls
    8 x Deadlift complex, climbing
    Worked up to 330#
    2. Metcon
    AMRAP 7: 72 Rx that 30# WB kicked my ass today.
    3. Odd Object/Movements
    3 RFT:
    11:07 Monkey Rings instead of bar; worked out pretty well.
    4. Rowing/Core
    For time:
    This was some new kind of hell; I really felt the only 12 hour layover from the biathlon here. Shows why I hate deviating from Coach Ben's master plan.
    38:31

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Phew. I never deviate anymore. I have paid for that one too many times. I think it was Coach himself who said, "You don't make up prescriptions if you missed it, you just get back on track the next time. It's the same thing with your workouts" If I miss anything and want to get a workout in, it's just some rowing/air dyne and maybe some light skill work.

  16. OPEN
    1. Metcon - 100 Rx
    2. 6 rounds Rx (tripped on R2 @ 17 and R5 @ 24)

  17. I won't be posting any numbers today. My brother and his lovely wife just had their first child yesterday morning and I have been traveling with little to no sleep (totally worth it to see that sweet little girl). Going to press the reset button and jump back on the train tomorrow! Do well guys!

    2. 6 rounds with 5 second to spare and no time (or desire!) to get the rope going. Tripped up 2 rounds in the 20's and 1 in the teens.

    Not a great day for stats, but two good burns! Not looking forward to waking up in the morning...there's going to be plenty of sore muscles.

    1. Thanks guys! Good one for me, was able to hold 20 on 5/7 sets, and deadlifts seem to make me less tired. What's more impressive is all the rx numbers you guys post. I coach a lot of master athletes and ALL of them would be six feet under trying to rx the compwod workouts. Good luck this year!

  25. Regionals/Masters

    Did open today.

    Amrap 7. 145. Not rx. Used my heaviest ball, 25#.
    Amrap 10. 3+13. Usually, I'll go single, double on wods that have du's. Today I stuck with them.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Steeve, first, amazing job on the wall ball WOD. You are crazy fit and strong.

      Second, congratulations on sticking with the doubles! I know exactly how it feels. It took me 23 months of Crossfit before I could string 10 doubles together. I did the single-double routine for a while. Then someone talked me out of it and then when I would get frustrated I would try to go back to it and I wouldn't even be able to do that! It was so extremely frustrating.

      Then, one day on this blog, I asked for help, and Coach Cheryl Nasso recommended trying a thicker (medium thickness) Rx Rope. I went online, bought the rope (with awesome "Black Mamba" handles) for a very reasonable price and then paid $80 to have it delivered the next day.

      Within 3 days, I was stringing 30-40 together consistently, and now, doubles are one of my best movements. This has all happened since October.

      So, if you haven't tried one already, I would highly recommend it, and if you are approximately my height (5'8"), I will glady ship you mine. I have been looking for a good home for it.

      Delete
    2. Hahaha - "$80 to have it delivered the next day" - funny how when we want something, we turn our head at the extreme cost of convenience. I almost did the same thing the other day when I saw that we needed a 30# WB again!

      @Steeve - stick with it man - and don't give up. I'm in the same boat with muscle ups at the moment - and it's frustrating, but practice, practice, practice, we'll get there. Before you know it, DUs will feel like a waster of time because they're so easy ;o)

      Delete
    3. Hang in there pal! I took Michael's advice and purchased the RX rope and i love it.....good luck!

      Delete
    4. Thanks guys! I appreciate all of you. I'm a couple of inches taller than you (Michael). Read the RX rope website. They even take into account your shoes, when measuring. One more RX rope sold!

      Had time to get the deadlift complex and rowing/GHDSU workout.

      Dreads complex; 405#.
      Rowing/ GHDSU; 32:42. Rough!

  37. Rowed a 5x1000 this morning between classes.

    1. Worked from 225 to 355

    2. 138 with a 20# ball. Only 1 30 at the gym and I used it last week for the DU/Wallball Workout, so my training partner got it today. 20 rep PR from last time though.

    3. Skipped, no air dyne at the gym, no monkey bars, not really a way to scale it at the same time. Will do a variation of this tomorrow though.

    4. 32:32. This was a doozy.

  53. 1. Pulls
    8 x Deadlift complex, climbing
    One full rep consists of:
    3 pulls to knees
    2 pulls to mid thigh
    1 full dead

    Was somewhat conservative and finished with 385.

    2. Metcon
    AMRAP 7 of Wall Balls, 30- 103, I came out of the gate at my 20lb wall ball pace and blew up a little bit but not badly. Had 25 in the first minute, fell off but was able to salvage later rounds, I was also way too worried about transition back to deadlift instead of relying on the person counting for me. Talked it over with my training partner and we felt 115-120 was easily doable.


    3. Odd Object/Movements- 3 pm class started had to skip.

    4. Rowing/Core-30:38
