  1. I've had to swap my rest day around to tomorrow so I did this today.
    1) Diane - 7:07 - using an ab mat on the HSPU
    About a 10 Minute Rest - I wasn't able to have 3-4 hours rest.
    2) Elizabeth - just did power cleans - 6:19
    Then did the class WOD for a bit of fun which was a variation of Cindy:
    10 Pull Ups, 20 Press Ups, 30 Squats, 15 Pull Ups, 30 Press Ups, 45 Squats
    And so on...ending with 25 Pull Ups, 50 Press Ups, 75 Squats.
    Finished that in 13:40.

    Hope everyone enjoys/enjoyed their rest day!

  2. Similar to Dane, I had to hit this today because of travel

    Diane -6:16 scaled to 185 and abmat plus plate. Felt I over scaled it.
    Elizabeth - 14:10 added red band for dips

  8. Open.

    1) 11.11.

    HSPU decided to take a day off today. This was all about how bad I am at HSPU. Working on them though and I will get this overhead strength goat taken care of. Going to add HSPU into my warmup and add 1-2 extra pieces of overhead strength work each week. If anyone else has some re commendations that worked for them, they would be appreciated.

    Rest this afternoon.

    1. Drew, Feb of 2013 I couldn't finish Diane within 15min (I got "cut-off" in a group Wod, lol). July '13 I was 7:30. Part of it was technique and hand positioning, but a big thing for me was not lowering down slowly. Took some getting used to because 210+# quickly down onto top of head hurts, but it really helped save energy in arms. The other thing that I think really helped was a lot of the jerk work we do here because it translates to tight core while "popping" the legs like in a kipp'd HSPU. Def incorporate HSPU (10-20 reps) into your warm up 2x or 3x per week to help the technique stuff.

    2. Part 2.

      Elizabeth.

      4.36. PR of about 41sec.

      A nice redemption after a terrible Diane.

  12. Diane- 4:11. 4:19 PR!! After the last time I did Diane, I was very upset with my HSPU's. So I went to work on them. Nice to see that work REALLY paid off.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Did the regionals today because Ring HSPU's looked like fun and have never tried them before.
    1. 12-9-6:
    8:42; The deads were done in sets of 3 ring hspu's were fun but took me a little while to get a rhythm.
    2. "Squatting Elizabeth"
    21-15-9:
    7:11; Hand are burger meat right now so stringing the cleans together was almost impossible. Way to many singles for a decent time should be low 6's for sure

    1-9:23 first time doing ring HSPU. Felt awkward, any pointers?
    2-8:17 20 min rest between WODs, too busy today.
    Looking to buy some supplements soon, what have you guys had good results with? I usually just take creatine, protein, multi, and fish oil. Any specific brands recommended?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Haha, this can be worse than a religious or political debate!

      I do same as you, but imo protein is a waste of your money unless you know whether or not you are hitting your macros. If you already hit your protein macro # for the day, that expensive protein supplement turns into expensive urine. At the same time, if you are too far under your macro protein #, your money would be better spent on real high protein food rather than supplement powder.

      For the record, I'm not paleo, zone, or anything. I just make sure I hit my macros most days and keep a 40/40/20 (protein/carb/healthy fat) percentage within my approx calorie allotment. Other than Creatine, I haven't found any supplement to have a noticable effect on my body or performance, including Fish Oil, but take it anyway.

    2. Thanks Chris, I'm a nursing student with about four weeks left till graduation and it eats up a ton of time, so protein shakes are key because I'm always on the go. I agree, once I'm done school I'll eat mostly real food.

    1. "Diane" - 18:44, my usual struggle with HSPUs. Got a bit better with time, managed 3 in a row a couple of times. Deadlifts unbroken, which is pretty good for me.
    2. "Squatting Elizabeth" - 12:30. In the gym at work, so could not drop the barbell, had to lower each time.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I did MU to ring HSPU is that what you meant? Or should I have adjusted the rings to just off of floor. I did it in 13:10. Gnarly and terrifying.

    1) Diane rx; 4:54. 10 sec. Pr. Happy with it. Been staying away from jerks and hspu's. Letting shoulder heal. This was the second time in the last two weeks. Feels good.
    2) squatting Elizabeth rx; 5:28. Legs were sending the red signal to stop several times... I found that wod pretty ugly.

  26. Regionals-

    In Saint Cloud Minnesota to MC the Cold War Throwdown, and had a chance to finish up Wednesday's work (which I did yesterday) at CrossFit Fast Factory. I'll tell you- if you're looking for an awesome spot with the BEST equipment and great people, I recommend dropping in here.

    Went in during their Open Gym today to hit today's stuff.

    1.) 12-9-6 DL's @315/ Ring HSPU- 10:00 flat.
    DL's all unbroken and fast, but had a hard time figuring out ring HSPU. Had to take long rests in between sets, sometimes up to 30-45 seconds so I wouldn't fail. Something to work on.

    About 30 minutes later…

    2.) Squat Clean Elizabeth- 6:52 .. strategic in how I broke up my sets. 6/5/4/3/3 on squat cleans round 1, 6/5/4 on round 2, and 4/3/1/1 on round 3.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Diane = 14.07. On the plus side it proved I can DL without injury following a hamstring strain. Well done to all those hitting good times and PRs today. Diane will be my only date tonight! Liz will have to wait but I'm sure we'll meet again some day soon.

    Stay massive Comp WODers.

  28. Open:
    1. 4:21, 19sec PR from 11/1/13. Video showed my HSPU in rnd 15 took 1:07 while rnd 21 only took :50secs. Also, ame off wall due to balance a few times in rnd of 15 and 9 with fatigue setting in.That shouldn't happen. Can def improve a lot in HSPU to get below 4min!
    2. 6:44, 14sec PR from 12/30/13. Dunno if my ring dips are regressing or Diane just gassed my arms, but they were heavily broken up through all rounds.

  30. Diane 18:30 total HSPU fail. A goat that I don't pay enough time improving.
    2 hour break.
    Elisabeth 9:34 w/ ringdips at 9-7-7 count. My arms were fried.

  31. 1) "Diane" 2:14 Rx almost have sub 2 if I can push my DL to be UB

    2) "Elizabeth" 4:50 Rx should be faster if I can lay off of doing singles on squat cleans

    ReplyDelete
  32. Open/Masters (41)

    1. Diane - 7:18 Went UB on first 21 deads, my low back pumped out from there and had to take several breaks, not too happy with this time, I'll split the deads up next time earlier.

    2. "Squatting" Elizabeth - 7:24 This one felt much better. Dropped every sq. clean then smoked through the ring dips. Dropping saved my back.

    Good job today everybody!

  42. Had to do these both in 1 session this morning

    Diane - 11:23 (my hspu suck)

    Took about a 5 min break to set the rings up and put the extra 45's away and then hit

    Elizabeth - 8:12 (pr! :-) ) my ring dips felt really good today, my squat cleans were slower than normal though, core was tired from 1rm snatch yesterday and doing Diane right before, but very happy with the pr!

    Then decided to try the flight simulator - 18:41, I had to give myself a few bro reps just because I hit 44 going for 45 and 39 going for 40 twice.
