  1. 315 first time around.. sorry performance. Broke on my dubs 5x, and moved slow on the snatches. Ready to hit at least 345+. Lets get it.

    Today only 319.
    Grip fatigue because of PCl on Saturday's WOD. Happy with current ranking.)))

  3. Regionals.

    1) worked up to 165. Failed 175. Felt weak on the third pull today. Form feeling smoother.

    2) up to 297. Stopped there because I'm thinking about redoing 14.1. Got 340 the first time and if I can hit 350-355 it will move me over 90places up and should keep me in the top 100 for the region.

    Otherwise I will do the rest this afternoon.

  4. Open, Jeremy Levo, europe
    14.1 : 300 (did 291 friday)
    Wanted more but cardio and light weight are big weaknesses. That is why I follow the blog now, since 2 weeks (too late I know)

    ReplyDelete
  5. Open

    263 Rx This is a 5 rep improvement from Friday and accounts for the fact that I miscounted my last round of DUs (29 versus 30). In my first attempt, I did all snatches - took lots of breaks - and broke many times on my DUs. This attempt, I did 8 snatches and 7 C&Js, never broke on DUs, and took limited breaks - so it definitely saved my grip, but I guess I moved much slower!?

    The video is posted and even though I will not be doing it again, I'm always open to any and all feedback! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUWh0S9-SRs

    Good luck to everyone giving it another shot.

  6. Regionals
    1. Snatch. Worked up to 185lbs. Attempted 195 multiple times and I failed. I'm pulling and dropping underneath every time. But it just falls forward. I've been stuck at 185 since late October and it's starting to piss me off haha.
    2. Front Squat 3RM- 265lbs. Attempted 275 but missed the last rep. 275 was my 1RM.
    3. Strict HSPU- did 5otm. I still suck at these but they are getting better.
    4. Dynamite Kid- you could not have programmed a bigger goat wod. Haha. I told myself I was going to do it without scaling. I wasn't really worrying about time. In the end, it took me 17:40. Fatigued MU'S and heavy weight suckkkkkk

    Rough day all around...not sure why. Going to do some extensive mobility and maintenance work this afternoon to get my body feeling 100%.

    1.) Hit 235#, then missed 245# three times (15# under PR) not sure what was going on.
    2.) Worked up to 315#, had to stop there because of some knee issues from the snatch
    3.) 4:40
    4.) 6:38Rx

    3. Snatch: worked up to 225...feel good about this considering the 14.1 today.

      Handstand Pushups: didn't time, just completed in 10X5

      MetCon: will make up this one.....I like it.....but did 14.1 in AM

  14. 349...again. Frustrating but I'm happy with it. I was much smoother this go round in everything so kind of weird. Looked at the video and really I'm just not a better athlete than this score, so I'm walking away satisfied. Wish I had started this programming right after last season! Thanks, coach.

    310 Reps

    Very subpar for me. Still can't get adjusted to this time zone in Kuwait, and can't seem to even take a proper shit in the toilet but once every couple days . Everything is out of whack. Going to brush this week off and try to stay focused for the remainder .

    1. Haha! The environment - the soil, air, and water all plays a part in your well being. So moving to a totally new place takes it's toll as manifested by your bowels. Takes a little time I adjust but I'm sure you will be killing wods soon enough!

  16. Open/Masters 43

    Open 14.1: 220, that is actually worse than Friday!, So frustrating, my DU's come and go on their own whim, sometimes I have them and sometimes I don't. Definitely working them everyday after the open for next year, determined to make this weakness a strength in the future.
    Again, way to go for all those big numbers out there!

    1. My second attempt was worse too. That's alright there are 4 more wods to climb that leaderboard!

  17. Open/Masters:

    After being invited to another local gym, I ended up doing 14.1 for the third time yesterday. Bad idea. Good strategy / bad performance. I completely underestimated the (mostly) mental toll these workouts take on me. To be honest, I don't even know what my score was, but it was considerably less than Saturday's so I called 14.1 done! I am disappointed with my score, but I gave it all that I had.

    To get back on the CompWod schedule, I wanted to do something today so I did following:

    1. Snatch. 7 rounds of 3 every 90 seconds at 65%. 110 lbs. The first round the barbell felt like it weighed 300 lbs. due to doing about 500 75 lb. snatches the last three days, but it felt better every round. All squat and TnG.
    2. Clean and jerk. 7 rounds of 3 every 2 minutes at 65%. 185 lbs. Weight was over 65%, but I wanted to move some little heavier weight today just to show myself I still could. These all felt really good. All squat cleans and split jerks. Dropped from the top and back on the bar within 3 seconds.
    3. Team workout from Saturday. 50-40-30-20-10 Wall balls/Power cleans. Did it by myself and split reps. Approximately 1:1 work/rest ratio. 13:00ish. Wasn't too interested in timing it.

    Good day of training.

    Great job on 14.1 everyone! Looking forward to 14.2. I am praying for some thrusters and burpees...

    Ok, I said "one and done", but Blaine got in my head and my ego took over.
    14.1 redo and got the same score...305. FML!
    Bad DU day and I guess my fitness is where its at for this WOD. I was hoping to stay top 200 in every workout. So I am going through the 5 stages of grieving. The workouts continue...

  23. Hi, I'm a new member of the open prog. I follow the blog since one week.
    Open 14.1: 269 reps

    ReplyDelete
  24. 1. Worked up to 235 with no misses. Felt really good. Missed 245 twice within the minute

    2. Wrist was feeling a little funky, did a 3RM BS instead. 315 which is a 10# PR.

    3. 14.1 repeat. We're snowed in here in Delaware, about 6" so far with another 3 or 4 hours to go. So, did this one under the watchful guidance of my video camera. Really small garage made this one really hard. Didn't PR it, did about 33-34 Dubs ea round, apparently I don't count so great. Rope kept getting hit on the ceiling, garage door tracks, you name it. So. Ef. Stuck at 304. I thought I'd crush that score today. Oh well.

    Nothing to do today, so will hit a 2nd session in a few hours with some handstands.

  28. Deviated heavy from programming. After two days of 14.1 posterior chain was really tired as were shoulders.
    1. Just worked singles from 135-185#. 185# felt like 225, not that I've ever snatched that.
    2. 275#x3 then 295#x1 before stopping. No where close to a 3rm. Just smoked.
    3. 50 kipping for time instead. Borderline pain strict pressing. Tons of pressure. 5:33
    4. Worked banded MUs sets trying to get shoulders warm for WOD. Never happened. Replaced WOD with 20-15-10-5 GDSU w/ 5 SC at 205# each rnd. Wow was 205# heavy today.
    5. Retried MUs and focused on UB sets with rest as needed. 2-2-3-3-3-2.

    Rest of week weird due to work schedule.

  57. 1. Snatch wave: started at 135, got up to 185. Got under 195 twice, but couldn't stand it up.
    2. 3RM squat : hit 195 for 3, it was front squats that hurt my low back in January unary so I'm being caution since I've only felt 100% for about 2 weeks.
    3. 50 strict HSPU - 11:40. frustrated with this, usually I'm better at these. Ah well.
    4. Skipped to go play in league basketball game. Didn't think I would make it on time if I did the WOD.

  59. 1. Snatch Ladder
    1 rep EMOM
    Started with 125#
    Hit 155, which was ugly, then failed 160# then hit 160#, decided to go for 165# and hit it! My old PR was 152# so this was awesome!!!

    2. 3 rep max Front Squat
    Up to 195#, hit 2 @ 205#, waited too long between sets, I know I have it in me

    3. 50 Strict Handstand Push ups for time
    Some where in the ball park of 10 mins, class restarted timer so I am unsure

    4. Dynamite Kid
    3 RFT:
    10 Muscle ups
    5 Squat Cleans, 225/155
    Time: 12:56min
    Honestly I should have done better with this, smoked through the first round in 2 and a half minutes... had to wait to use rings a couple of times because class was doing laps right under them

  60. redid 14.1 - was off my last score by about 30 reps. Long weekend with work. Just didn't have the gas in the tank to finish strong. Got a clean video this time so i posted it with my original score of 307. 60 rep improvement from 2011 so not bad.
