  1. Coach, you make training so fun sometimes! Thanks for constantly exposing me to things I would never do (or even think to do) on my own.

  2. Is it a 5min or 7min AMRAP for regionals part 4? It says AMRAP in 5 but then says complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 7min. Thanks!

  3. Anyone know an effective substitute for an Airdyne?

    1. Awesome work Michael!
      I was not sure if it was the burning in my legs or the lack of oxygen in the system that held me back ;-)

      Delete
    2. Thanks! Thrusters and burpees are my two best movements and Josh gave me a super good push this morning. I only wished I could have kept the 20+ rounds all the way through, but those thrusters were killing me at the end!

      Great job to both of you on your Open performances!

    3. Great job Michael! Here's to hoping those 2 moves are in the last workout, and you are set!

  13. Hello. i'm new here. gonna start following. couple questions.

    When he writes 5 x 3 do we pick the weight based on feel?

    And if we don't have an Airdyne what's the sub. For todays EMOM what could I do instead.

    Thanks

    1. The squats are based on feel. It's up to you. I also don't have an airdyne and I typically sub burpees. Welcome to CompWod!

    2. Got my airdyne on amazon for 600, but there are cheaper ones flying around on eBay/ kijiji etc.. I'd recommend getting one. There is really nothing like it. It's like Fran in a bike. Cheers!

  18. I'm awesome. Didn't realize it was amrap so I only did 5 and 5 each minute. I'm an idiot. I'll redo this tonight. Guess that's what happens when you read the wod at 4am.
    205# on jerks. No misses felt fast and was able to rebound all reps.

    1. Joey, in your defense, I believe the AMRAP was added this morning. When I looked at it last night, I don't remember seeing the "AMRAP" part of it and thinking to myself that today was going to be a nice and easy day!

    1. Hey Jon. Check your diet man. Or, maybe you just need a week off. I've been contemplating Blair Morrison's approach to rest. He only works out 3 days a week for three weeks, then takes the fourth week completely off.

    Got to say, the past few days have been great! I've always had a body that recovered quickly and these workouts are putting that recovery to the test. Love it.

    1) Sprints -- Done

    2) HBBS w/ pause -- 225, 255, 275, 295, 315. Last set at 315 was brutal. Really happy I got there though.
    Front Squat -- 185 for both sets. Core was severely compromised from above.

    3) Did 5 strict pullups followed by 8 butterfly for the five rounds. Never came off the bar. Didn't have access to KB or DB today :/ Biceps were smoked.

    4) 5 min AMRAP -- Did 315 DL and V-Ups because no GHD. Hurt after those pause squats. Hurt a lot. Got to 7 DL.

    5) 21 min EMOM -- Did 15 calories (took about 30 sec), 12 Burpees (about 30 sec), and 40 DU. Still working on increasing my DU capacity.

  35. Firstly thanks to Ben for the programming and everyone else who comments, I've just started following the programming so this is my first comment. Decided to follow the regional programming purely because it fits best with my long term plan and I need the extra focus on strength.
    So for today I did:
    1) Didn't get time or room in the gym to do the sprints
    2) Done but forgotten the weights.
    3) Tried to go with the staying on the bar but with no dumbell so had to try and balance a KB in my feet, in hindsight would probably have been better off dropping off and actually putting the KB on a belt. But anyway all unbroken - used a 12KG KB for 3 sets then a 16KG for last 2, would have been heavier if I hadn't had to try and balance in my feet!
    4) 4 Full Rounds then 10 GHDSU but lowered deads weight to 120KG
    5) No airdyne so altered to 20 Mins alternating between the row and DU's, made good practice for my DU though.
    Thanks again, I've really enjoyed all the sessions I've done so far - long may it continue.
    Dane.

  36. Hey guys,

    My friend and I have been following along for the last 8 months and we were wondering how we can get either a "Built by Bergeron" or a "CFNE" t shirt sent out here to California. If anyone can help us or point us in the right direction that be great.

    Thanks,

  39. Been getting to the gym a bit later, so been doing the workouts with a big group of people around. Space has been tough.

    1. Unfortunately had to skip these today, which sucks because I like this stuff. Snowing outside, and no room inside. Moving to a bigger gym in May, can't freakin wait.

    2A. 255 Across
    2B. 225 Across

    3. Done with a 25# dumbbell across. We don't have any bigger DB's and couldn't figure out a way to rig a kettle bell.

    4. Skipped. Deadlifted saturday and still am pretty tight. 365 felt like a 1rm.

    5. Done, subbed burpees for Airdyne as we don't have one at the gym.

    Since I didn't do the DL workout, I did a finisher of a AMRAP 5. Up ladder, 3,3,6,6,9,9 etc of 30#WBS and TTB. Got to 15 WBS & 14 TTB.

    1. Done but didn't write down times.
    2.a. 315, 315, 335, 335, 355
    b. 225 across. My legs were completely gased from that last few sets of back squats so scaled back a bit.
    3. Done with a 15# DB.
    4. 3 rds 14 reps. Got through the 4 deads and 10 of the GHD. Those 405# got heavy real quick. Probably took more time than necessary but really wanted to focus on form being that heavy.
    5. No Airdyne unfortunately, so did a 20 min EMOTM with DUs and rowing for cals.

  57. 1. Sprints 5 x 20-20
    Skipped

    2. A. 5x3 High Bar Pause Back Squats - Hold the bottom for 3 seconds @195#
    B. 2x10 Front Squats @ 125#

    3. 5 sets of:
    3 weighted Pull ups @20# (for 2 sets) 15# (for 1 set)

    This was insanely hard, especially since my pecs were already dead. Only made it through 3 sets, had to drop off the bar on the second set once and twice on the third set. Wow.

    4. AMRAP 5:

    5. Did this instead EMOMx14

    1) 131 (22, 20, 20, 17, 17, 17, 18) - ended up finishing that last round about 4 seconds too late. This one was pretty gnarly.
    2) Done at 160.

    I no longer have working tricep muscles, but this was good prep for what's probably coming for 14.5.

  61. OPEN:
    114reps RX. That was really tough. I am new to this programming so I have a ways to go. At the same time it was fun and I am proud to have pushed myself. My goal was 20 reps per round. Ya.....got 20 the first round and then quickly fell into the deep end. Feels good to be on my back rocking back and forth in pain afterwards:)
