  1. For the squat clean thrusters, do we have to go back to the floor for each rep or do we keep going with the thruster as you would for Fran?

    1. Squat clean thrusters are from the floor each rep

      Delete
  2. Go back to the ground each time. Ring muscle ups. Have fun!

  3. gross. can we crawl over the bar during the burpees?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Kinda. I think the standard is just to get over the bar, no need to have the feet together. Can anybody confirm?

      Delete
    2. No, usually burpees oer the bar require feet together

      Delete
    3. 2 foot take off, 2 foot landing.

    4. Thanks coach. Fun times ahead.

  4. So, on the biathlon, will the penalty lap be assessed on that round? Or at the end? So if you miss 1 snatch, would you then run a 1400? Or would you do the 5rft, then run any penalty laps?

    1. This is a take off of the Winter Biathlon in the Olympics. Very cool sport.

      After your 1200m Run you attempt 5 snatches. If you hit four of the five, you don't attempt a sixth rep. Instead, you start the next run with a 200m penalty, then continue to the 1200m.

  14. Open:
    1. 141 (21 squat clean thrusters)... getting 15 was my goal, so yeah!

    Had the extreme privilege to do this WOD w/ Michael Johnson!! Watched this guy blast thru 1 rd and 46 DU's!!! I am impressed beyond words as he couldn't string multiple DU's together not 8 months ago! One dedicated, solid, athlete!! Proud to be able to workout with you!

    2. #121 (55kg)... each one smooth and strong. Focused on keeping the bar pulled into the body vs bouncing off the quads (which tends to happen on tng type reps)

    2. I'm jealous - you guys are lucky to be able to workout together. Way to push through and motivate one another. I'll definitely look you guys up if I'm ever down in Florida. In the mean time, my 40 degree garage is always open if you find yourselves "lost" in the Northeast!

      Delete
    3. Jon, you are exactly right! I feel extremely lucky to have such a great workout partner, and I admire you for working so hard on your own. Many of these workouts are more mentally taxing than physically, and it is ALWAYS better to have someone to share the pain with.

      And I will actually be in the Northeast this summer (my sister lives in Duxbury, Mass.). I don't know if you are in the area, but if you are, it would be great to meet up.

    5. Hey Michael - that's only an hour away and a great place to be in the summer. I'm sure we could find somewhere to meet up. Drop me an e-mail at jenkins295@yahoo.com any time...

      Enjoy the rest/recovery day.

  18. 1.) 248Rx - I had over three minutes left after finishing the first round. Really disappointed with my effort on the second round, the second set of Doubles wrecked me. I need to learn to push through the pain.

    2.) Session two this afternoon.

  19. OPEN

    1) 1 round + 25 DU.
    Paced too much on the muscle-ups, and struggled in the 2nd set of DUs.
    It looks like all this volume is killing me... Which is a good thing :)

    2) Minutes 1-2: 135#. Minutes 3-4-5: 145#
    This was tough after the 60 reps @ 165# yesterday.

    I earned my rest day!!

  30. Open
    1. 150 reps, plus one feeble MU attempt ;o) My goal was 15 Squat Clean Thrusters, with a hope of getting through all of them. I started the SC Thrusters with 7 minutes remaining and completed a rep every 15 seconds - until the last minute where I rushed through the remaining reps.
    2. Done @85#. I should have used 95, but I was flat out beat. Alternated Squat, Power, Squat, Power, Squat and focused on technique since I skipped yesterday.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I must say , I started off this morning feeling completely broken since Saturday. I really didn't want to do the WOD and almost talked myself out of it, luckily I had 2 guys to actually train with today which NEVER happens. Today was definitely my most favorite WOD we've ever done on Competitor WOD, very well rounded ! Absolutely crushed it...

    METCON
    Score - 1 Round + 86 Reps - TOTAL = 246 REPS

    I approached this workout very calmly and knew that I needed to keep my heart rate low through the double unders and burpees before the Thrusters. I went it with a plan to do single Thrusters with 5-7 second rest between each rep.

    Breakdown
    1stDouble Under - Unbroken (35 seconds)
    Burpees - Lateral jumps, total time around 3:00
    Thrusters - Singles (5-7 seconds rest in between)
    MU - Started on these around 8:00 ( sets of 3,2,2,2,1)
    2nd Double Unders ( 35,25,10)
    Then completed 16 Burpees


    Will go back this afternoon and practice snatch technique and some easy rowing for recovery

    1. Wow! Nice work Jeremiah. I had basically the same game plan going in as you, except I took exactly a minute longer on the thrusters (I probably could have pushed these a little harder). I am sure your muscle ups were faster since I went 2,2,2,1,1,1,1. I can't miss a muscle up or I am done! Great job!

      Delete
    2. Oh, and I agree. My favorite WOD ever. Hit all my strengths. Probably won't see anything like it in the Open :)

  35. First Day following the Programming. Excited for what is to come. Always been a big fan of your philosophy, Ben.

    Open:

    Metcon= 207 Reps RX. (1rd+47 DU). Finished the DU and burpees in 2:50, squat clean thruster for 30 reps at that weight is heavy'ish for me.

    Snatch EMOM= 105# across

  36. 1. Considering out I felt coming in, I am okay with this score. I'm pretty sure people have been beating me with baseball bats all week. 157. 3 MU short of a full round. Thrusters took forever. FOREVER. Legs were just cooked from this week.

    All the time I have today. Kinda bummed I'll miss the biathlon, but honestly I could use the recovery.

    ReplyDelete
  37. All in one session

    1. 150 reps
    5-10 min rest
    2. Biathlon 39:15, scaled to 60 kg since my 1RM Snatch is 70 kg, no misses, all squat snatches

  38. Regionals/Masters

    1) 159 rx. Got out of du's at 2:50... A bit frustrating. But I'll get them.
    2) 43:08 rx. Missed one. Really happy about this one. Started focusing on my speed under the bar. Seems to be working. Run was more of an agility run. Trying to keep my footing in the slush, ice and snow. But I enjoyed every second of it!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Just took on part 1 and I'm pumped.
    My typical approach it berserk mode and burnout.

    Had a chill approach and got through one round + 18 double unders.

    Mups are getting smoother and my shoulder is cooperating.
    Very excited

    ReplyDelete
  40. very frustrating day for me ... I am just not getting any better at muscle ups. it's like for every step I take forward, I find a way to back track... I'm beyond frustrated because I feel like this is the one movement that I have been able to do for so log and yet I still struggle with them. so today...
    1. 1 round + 4 double unders
    finished everything but the muscle ups in 8 minutes .... so I had 4 minutes and got 10 muscle ups.. very frustrating.
    2. we are doing this Friday when the weather clears up and the roads are a little safer.

  47. I seem to have come down with some sort of sickness today. Needless to say, there was no way I was getting up this morning at 5 to be able to get two sessions.
    1. Made it through 7 MU's. Dissapointed in this. Wanted more than one round. Hate to blame it on being sick but yeah...
    Gonna rest for a few then attempt the biathlon.

  52. Open Program
    1) 154 (4 muscle-ups) - had no gas for this one. Going out of order and doing Monday's workout yesterday didn't help. On the bright side I knocked out 4 muscle-ups in the final 30 seconds.
    2) Done at 135 (only got 3 reps each on final 3 rounds) - again, I was toast by this point.

    Taking the rest of the week off and going snowboarding Saturday and Sunday. Looking forward to getting some activity away from the gym and recharging the batteries before hitting the Open next week. Feeling good overall but really need a few rest days.

    Not a very happy camper on my score today. Tripped up 4 times on DUs in first set (should have been unbroken), BOBs took me about a minute and 15 seconds longer than it should have, thrusters were singles, and MUs were 8/2 (could have went unbroken and saved me about 25 seconds).

    Not every day can be the way we want them to be. Just got to be grateful for having the ability to do what we love to do. Live to fight another day!!

    Great job to everyone over the last couples months of training. Good luck to everyone participating in the Open this year!!

  65. 1 round plus 47 dubs. My goal was to make it through the muscle ups and I did. I had 2.5 mins left with 2 to go and I failed #10 twice, pretty frustrating, thought I could make it back to burpees for sure. Although a year ago I wouldn't have finished one round #progress #antininjasquad

  69. Open/Masters

    Metcon: 153 (3 MU), totally tanked on the clean thrusters, lost it mentally, but the DU's were great

    2. Snatch 5 x 5 at 115, felt great!

    1. Good work Peter! I might have gotten you by a few reps (this time), but you and your fabulous country earned a well deserved Gold today in women's hockey! Congrats!

  70. Only had time for first part:
    1. 140, too much staring at the bar. Finished the rest of the workout as punishment.

  71. Took Wednesday off, and hit this a couple hours ago. Felt really good.

    1 Round+ 17 Burpees

    Round 1- Dubs: 55/15, :45 sec
    Burpees: 4:15
    SquaCleaThrusters: all singles, 8:45
    Muscle-ups: 6/4, 9:30

    Round 2- Dubs: UB, 10:30

    Feels like my motor is ready for the Open. Looking to qualify a team for the 2nd consecutive year. If we do, I won't MC, and will definitely compete out of the SE. Weird lower back pain has me pushing back snatches until tonight.

  72. Had to work Wed so did this today.

    1. 154 reps. Burpees done at about 5min. SCTs destroyed me. Felt really strong but my heart rate was in the stratosphere and I could not get it down. Been getting wrecked the past week on some of these workouts. I hope its related to the sinus/chest cold I've had because its disappointing otherwise, especially at 135#. Positive was I did 4 muscle ups in 40 seconds.
    2. 49:43 with 600m in penalty runs. Felt good all things considered.

  76. Open
    Forgot to post yesterday.
    1. 7:20. Got on pull up bar at 5:06 and am usually pretty decent at C2B, but my forearms locked up and I just couldn't hang onto the bar. Went 10,8,2, then singles on C2B.
    2. Done at 115# & with a 30" box since Box Jumps are a strength.
