  1. Regionals - first day w/o a 2hr delay in a while and I forgot how to work fast so have to break it up into 2 sessions
    1. Snatch- 175lbs. Felt better than ever. I think it's time to retest this pr (185lbs)
    2. C&J- 185,195,205,215,225lbs. Fixed some stuff with the jerks and they feel much better.
    3. Back Squats- Hit 315lbs across until the last minute. Then bumped it to 325. Hit it pretty solid. 325 is a 10lb PR lol.
    Rest after baseball after school.

  2. Metcon 13:42. Phew burner.
    Snatch 5x1 @ 205 felt good and fast this morning so I worked up to 230# and got it. New p.r. Thanks coach.

  3. Regionals.

    1) 154 across. Felt smooth and fast today.

    2) 154/176/198/220/220 (failed second jerk). My jerk is feeling much better and more stable overhead but I need to keep working my flexibility. Really limits my ability to easily get the weight overhead.

    3) 352 across. Felt strong today. This is only 18# off my 1RM. Thinking I can get 380 or 385 now. Goal is to squat 400# by the end of the year.

    4) just over 2min. Started too soon after the squats.

    5) 13.27. This one was rough. Legs were already smoked from the squats. Spent way too much time between sets trying to make sure i didn't miss a clean.

  4. Open:
    1) 17:08, yeesh that was rough!
    2) Started with a 45lb bar, scaled to 35 by minute 4. Weak sauce I know but my form sucked with the narrow grip.

    ReplyDelete
  5. 1) 175 across (should have been 195 but couldn't hit it this morning)

    2) 185/205/225/245/255

    5) 15:35 (this was rough!)

    Will do 3 & 4 after work

  8. 1. Snatch
    185#

    2. Clean and Jerk
    5 sets of: 185,195,205,215,225#

    3. Back Squats
    On 3rd set at 315# had something pop in my lower back. Have had lower back problems before but never had anything actually pop during exercise. Just in the wait and see period as of now but it seems like I'm going to be unable to train for atleast a while. Extremely frustrated but everything happens for a reason, I'll get back to working on my movement mechanics ASAP.

    Thanks again for the great programming Coach and I hope to return soon. Best of luck to all of you beast out there, keep training hard.

    1) 14:10. Between the race yesterday and the rubbish night's sleep I had zero pop today. Should have listened to it and taken a rest day but I was up early to coach anyway.

  17. Coach B always says to take positives away from your training sessions...well, there weren't a whole lot today

    1) missed almost every snatch at 90%. Dropped weight and worked technique
    2) 225
    3) skip
    4) skip
    5) 13:30 ish

    Did Saturday's team wod solo yesterday (30,25,20,15,10) and it wrecked me. 20+ mins and nothing left in the tank for the rest of the programming. On top of a crappy performance I lost my wedding ring last night bagging leaves. blah...

  18. Does anybody have/know of a place in Lakeway/Bee Cave, TX to get my work in during the day? My schedule has me hitting them at either 4am or 8pm. Have some flexibility during the day just need a place. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    1. If you want to drive a little bit you can workout with me at Woodward Crossfit. If you take 620 past the dam till you get to Anderson Mill, take a right, pass under 183 and we're there at Pond Springs Road, and Anderson Mill. Let me know, I'm usually there from 730am till 1030am, and 430pm till 6pm.

      Delete
    2. If those times don't work, contact Justin Adams or Bryan Gordon and they can possibly help you out with a time to do your own thing for a drop in fee or something....no idea how they would work it during their times, but it's worth asking. There is a 12:00 class.

    3. Appreciate the reply so much. The afternoon time could possibly work, but I don't want to be a distraction or complicate your day in anyway whatsoever.

  19. OPEN - knee is feeling a bit better, but legs smoked from a rowing competition yesterday.
    1) 10:44 - so hard to convince myself to jump over the bar - that thing looked like a high box jump!
    2) Not doing this one - OHS tend to bother the knee, so going to take it easy on how soon I push

    1. 16:14 Rx Couldn't pull off the unbroken rounds after the first 10?! I divided the rounds in half - and chased the bar after the round of 7. I'm fairly certain I've never done 55 squat cleans @135# so I'll take these results!

    2. Complete w 45#. These felt like a very mean version of squat therapy...

  32. So far following this I have realized.
    1- I am digging the programming
    2- I really need to find a box to train at or some training partners that are really good at Olympic stuff
    3- I need to figure out this speed thing with lifting.
    4- I am not as weak as I thought but I have a long way to go
    Thanks for posting this stuff online.

  63. 2014 Regional & Games:

    1. Missed all reps at 90%. Not happy about this. Pulls felt great, just didn't stay tight and keep active shoulders. Did 5x1 @135# and tried to stay perfect.

    2. Worked up to 225#. Missed second jerk.

    3. 315# across.

    4. 4:18

    5. 12:18 Rx. Set a goal to get at least half of the metcon with UB squat cleans. Suprised myself and did all squat cleans UB. Pretty jacked up on mountain dew about that.

  64. Regionals-

    Took off Friday, after testing a WOD from my Saturday competition. Ended up taking 7th. Less than satisified, but ready for whatever the Open holds.

    Back at it today, albeit a bit lighter, as I'm still recovering from Saturday's volume.

    1. 185x4, 195x1 (1RM=215)

    2. 225x2, 235, 245, 255- failed final jerk. Experimented with wider grip, which helped.

    3. 315 across (last time did 325)

    4. 2:50 - Lots of weighted pistols in the competition. Feeling it in my anterior tib.

    5. 10:24 - Felt good.

  66. Did open work today after a little team comp yesterday.
    1. 16:56... Engine was pretty shot after the first 10 squat cleans... Kept them all UB and that was my goal. So that's my victory. Back started to light up around the round of 8.
    2. Done at 155... OH squats are a bit of a strength for me but using a close grip was another story. I've never been able to do this movement with a narrow grip until today. Crossover Symmetry works!
