My first thought when I saw this workout was, shit, Pace & Dex are gonna crush this one. My 2nd thought, admittedly a bit more self centered, was, shit, there's a 50/50 shot now of thrusters and burpees being in the same workout.
ReplyDeleteHA ha ha ha ha, you're right my man. Amrap Thruster/burpees with 135 for time......
Delete135# thrusters and burpees?
DeleteYES PLEASE!
The thought of it makes me nauseous.
DeleteI threw up in mouth a little after reading that.
DeleteHa! Great thoughts Danny! Good luck to everyone...

Great work!!!
DeleteGood day everyone!
ReplyDeleteHave done the first attempt - 131 reps (1 rep of 315# DL) and 7:27 tb.
10 - UB
15 - UB
20 - 4 sets of 5
25 - 3/3/3/3/3 +singles
30 - only single single :)
Back held up for this!
ReplyDelete14.3 - 144 (6:04)
14.3 - 150 (6:10). Fun stuff! This Open has been the best programmed one ever in my book (for better or worse).
ReplyDeleteHere's what I did: I jumped up and down all box jumps (slight hesitation at bottom, so not true rebound) and felt good wind-wise up to set before 315. I did corner step ups (see the barbell shrugged video) for the last set which left me feeling very recovered before the 315 set. Big sets on the DL helped me mentally. I went ub, ub, 12-8, 10-10-5, then I'm not sure what I did on the 315s...
Good luck everybody!!
Hey Zak- do you happen to have a link to that barbell shrugged video? Tried to google it, but couldn't seem to find anything.
DeleteI think this is it --> www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbwpQ-lAK70. Youtube won't go through on my work PC, but that looks like the description.
DeleteNice work Zak- solid score!
DeleteThanks, Zak!
DeleteThanks Dylan! Hope it holds up ok... I'm not really feeling a re-do on this one
Delete136 reps
ReplyDeletedeadlift
10 => UB
15 => UB
20 => 10/6/4
25 => 7/5/5/4/4
30 => 3/2/1
The only think I don't like about 14.3 is. Don't call it Box Jumps if you can step up. Is it just me?
ReplyDeleteI agree... find a different name, similar to the ground-to-overhead or shoulder-to-overhead changes they made. Change the name. I, however do the step ups to save on the legs. Don't rebound well on the 24" box...
Deletegot 108. on the one hand, im happy with that, wanted to get past the 20's. on the other hand, i'm not that happy with it looking at the leaderboard...feels like i should be around 130's. don't really see how I could get more reps though. maybe i'll repeat monday.
ReplyDelete115; knew this one was way out of my wheel house, DL are probably my weakest movement. Will NOT be trying again way to much back rounding for comfort
ReplyDelete124.
ReplyDeleteTiebreak: 4:20
96.
ReplyDeleteWith my hate of DL it is ok. Happy that didn't hurt my back.
10, 15, 5-5-5-5, 3-3.
I would recommend to try step-ups/step-downs, even if you consider them "inferior" to "real" box jumps. Stepping up may help you start moving faster after a round of deadlifts, and speed-wise, usually, not much slower than jumps (if slower at all). I tried for the first time today, seemed to helped me.
Tiebreak: 6:20
DeleteBen's Two Cents....
ReplyDeleteGirls Weight Changes - not how they did it last night.
95 => 25's and 5's on outside
135=> remove 5's, add 25's
155=> add 10's
185 => add 10's and 5's
205 => add 10's
225=> add 10's
Yep - this is a lot of 10's but faster than removing weights.
Men's Weight Changes -
135 => 45's on outside
185 => add 25's
225 => add 2 sets of 10's
275=> add 25's
315 => add 2 sets of 10's
365=> add 25's
We tested this today and for most people jumps are the way to go - as long as you are rebounding. If you can't rebound, need to step down, start to get no rep'd, or get very winded change to step ups using the corner of the box (rotate the box, not your self so the camera stays profile).
If you step up, push off your thighs with your hands.
It doesn't matter when you change the weight for the first three sets, but then make sure you change the weights after the deads after the 275/185, and from then on.
The last round takes about 3-4 minutes so push hard from the 4 minute mark on to the finish.
Don't use clips till 275/185, and then use them. If you drop the bar at that weight a few times your will need to adjust the weights and that is slower than just putting on spring collars.
Have fun team!
Thanks Ben! Good Luck everyone
DeleteThanks ben!!!
DeleteThanks coach!
DeleteWouldnt changing weights after the DeadLifts and before box jumps hurt your split time?
DeleteGood catch Mike. That is a typo - it is supposed to say, "after the box jumps". Thanks.
DeleteThanks Ben! This was definitely the smoothest way to approach this one.
DeleteBen, are you sure that rules allow not to have collars at all times? It would be upsetting if somebody's score won't be counted because of a technicality.
DeleteFor the 185. I added 15s instead of 10 and 5.

Wanted to get to the 315# Round...I will get it with Coach B's suggestions on Sunday!
Thanks Coach Ben!!!
Here it is...Have at it... All suggestions/strategies/rep schemes welcome...

Should not have gone for 7 @ 275#...
I suck at rebounding so step-ups it is...
Good luck to everyone!
Looks like too much time changing weights is the biggest place to improve. You've got the strength and lungs. Just shorten those transitions.
DeleteOpen
ReplyDelete140 - 6:15 - missed 3 reps but happy with the score. Don't think I'll redo it - nowhere near top of the region so not worth the taxing of the back. Good luck guys!

I think 315lbs is too heavy for me
I will try again 14.3 on Mon
I want to get 140reps
Hope!!!
14.3-131
ReplyDeleteLow back actually held up but had some miscommunication on number of reps at 225 and wasted about 20 sec. Think I can hit 135+ on a redo. Will wait to see if low back is trashed tomorrow morning before deciding to do a redo. Glad this is over.

ReplyDeletedid 14.3 140 Reps. Never happy but not a bad score ill do it again on monday although im not sure how may more reps i will get. Back held up during the WOD but def feeling it now. Good Luck to all
Open:
ReplyDelete99 with a tie break of 6:12, already looking forward to Mondays attempt. Got 5 no-reps for not hitting full extension on the box jumps in the final round. I know I have more in the tank! Just need to focus on recovery.
Open Masters 40-44
ReplyDelete142 Reps (6:24)
Open:
ReplyDelete93 with a tie break of 6:52. Not very impressive, but considering that my 1 RM was 275 going into the Games, I guess I'll take it! Upon reviewing my video, I realized that I wasted an entire MINUTE changing weights from 185 to 225, so there's definitely room for improvement.
Good luck to the big guys - this is all you!

ReplyDelete@coach Ben-- brilliant idea for the women's weight changes. What are your thoughts on breaking up the DL reps early in the wod? Beneficial or not?
ReplyDeleteOpen:
ReplyDelete1. 14.3
= 114 Reps / 3:29 Split (24 Deads @ 275#) Really happy with this. My goal was AMRAP at 275 and I almost finished. Ill take it for a guy my size. Time to get HAAUUGE this off-season :)
2. Rowed 3K at about 80% effort pace. Used this as a good flush for my low back and hamstrings.

ReplyDelete14.3
ReplyDelete135 reps with a 7:02 tiebreak. This was my kind of workout
Looking back at this, I think that if I redo it I will go with step ups the whole way. Just had a friend get 160 reps doing strictly step ups. Not sure if I'll redo though. Might be able to get a few more deadlifts but not much
DeleteHa, you got me by one second on the tiebreak! Nice job. I think we were basically tied going into this one too. Good luck from here on out.
Delete131 reps; 7:41 tiebreak.
ReplyDelete136 total. 7:12 Tie break
ReplyDeleteSo I was decently happy with my score of 133 until I watched the video and noticed my judge miscounted my reps at 275 and I only did 24, taking away everything else I did after that and making my score 114, so definitely redoing on sunday. If anyone could give me any tips to help out on my redo it would be greatly appreciated, if I could get to 315 with some time I could do some damage. 1 thing I'm thinking is to not switch to singles at 275 and just take a short break and do at least sets of 5.
ReplyDeleteWatch "14.3" on YouTube
14.3: http://youtu.be/X3dKMqthgBA
I did 135 UB, 185 UB, 225 10/10, 275 for 5's. 315, I don't remember, I think it was 2/2/1/1. That worked pretty well for me.
DeleteThe 275 for 5's is what I think I need to do, thought the fast singles would go faster if I kept moving, but it took forever.

ReplyDeleteAppreciate the advice

Glad the back held up. Been struggling all year with it
Open/Masters 43
ReplyDelete137, 7:00
Actually went easier than I expected, did step-ups all the way. First 2 rounds of DL unbroken, than sets of 5 for 225 and 275, sets of 3 for 315. I definitely know I could get into 140's if I do again, as I got shaken when my judge thought I put on the wrong weights, took 10 seconds to sort out.
Everyone, watch your form and protect those backs!
Great job Peter! Awesome score!
Delete148 split time 6:09! This was fun! :)
ReplyDelete135 reps (tie break: 6:59)
ReplyDelete135 (7:03 tiebreaker) - probably won't redo, I think I played this one about as well as I could. Kept big sets on the DL, rebounded all my box jumps, I just don't have a monster dead lift, so I don't see myself getting much beyond this.
ReplyDeleteOpen
ReplyDelete1) 130 reps - I only had 20 seconds left to get the plates on and hit 315...just not enough time and I didn't want to "grip and rip" @ 315#. Depending on how I feel I'll give this another go on Monday night. Overall I'm happy with my score.
Open
ReplyDelete1) 131 - went into the hole on the 275#DL should have broken up right from the start. I'll give this another go on Monday
14.3
ReplyDelete135 did step ups from the jump need to be better with weight transition will redo monday
Open/Masters 48
ReplyDelete14.3. 122 reps. Will redo Monday as I think I can get all those box jumps done to at least get to 130. That 315 will be tough after all the work before it.

ReplyDeleteSo I spent all day in the car, about 10 hours due to traffic, then started the wod after about 5 min getting out of the car, at a local box in southern Maryland. They ran a tight ship so I could not delay nor set things up the way I wanted. Then I got no-repped on some box jumps without knowing it .. The judge didn't count nor say no-rep.. just made me do more reps.
ReplyDeleteSo given all those excuses, I got 130 reps. Wanted a few reps at 315, but ran out of time. Definitely repeating on Monday. Great job y'all!!!! You are killing it!
141 reps. Tie break 6:33
ReplyDeleteMasters 46
ReplyDelete14.3 got 128 reps. wanted 130 but happy and might try it again. Tie breaker 4:26. Ben was spot on when he said it would take about 3-4 mins for the last set.
Went UB on 135, split 185 (10,5) 225 was 4 sets of 5, 275 was 3, a few doubles then fast singles. All BJ were step ups learned from lat year and it saved the legs and time.
Got 152 (5:06) for 14.3 this evening. If you haven't done this yet, it might be a good idea to break up sets at the lighter weights (eg. 225) I wish I would have. Content with this score but always room for improvement! Good job on it today everyone! Take care of those posterior chains!!!

ReplyDelete130 reps
132 (7:26)...didn't see Ben's weight change comment until after the wod. Had to use 10's on 315 due to a shortage of 45's at the box. Unfortunately I threw the 25's off without thinking and had to reload. This cost me precious time, but I'm good with the score.
