  2. On Tuesday coach explained that rest days will be on Monday and Thursdays to accommodate the Regionals weekend schedule.
    You can still have rest days on Sundays and Thursday like I am and just move the programming one day on...

    1. As many sets as it takes to work up to "heavy" for the day. Each set is 3 reps (squat clean+front squat+jerk).

      Delete
    2. Squat clean+front squat+jerk it is one rep?

  14. hi this is my 3rd post, and i want to ask 2 things hope you could help me:
    both of them are about when the coach says "work to a heavy (something)":
    - does it means thay i have to go to a 1RM when it says to a heavy single or is it just when i feel it is heavy?
    - and second all of you have a lot more experience so id like to ask more or less how much time do you spend working in a complex?

    thank you for your help

    1. Good questions firstly ben has specified between heavy and 1rms in the past so I always treat heavy as just that no failures. Where as a 1rm I will go to failure
      Secondly as it has been said before we are crossfitters and not weightlifters so I always try to keep pretty strict time domains on my sets never more than 2 mins between sets most the time enough time to change weight and chalk up if it's heavy. Sometimes I'll even throw in aux work in between like double unders or something to jack the heart rate between sets.
      Best luck and just remember everyone's different and these are personal things you have to play with to find what's best 4 u

    2. thanks for your reply Blaine, just regarding the second question i think i didn't explain myself correctly (sorry english is not my first language) what i wanted to know is how much time do you spend doing complexes until you find out that heavy set, for example 10-15 mins or something like that. but thanks for saying the amount of time between sets cause some times a think i rest a little bit more between one attempt and the next one (around 3-4 mins)

      thanks again

      Delete
    3. Let me try and add on to what Blaine said. I try not to spend more than twenty minutes working a complex if there's no time specified. Otherwise it's easy to let time get away and wear yourself out. I set a timer myself. On something like this I'd take fifteen minutes or so.

      Hope this helps!

    4. Yeah you both helped me a lot thx and good luck with your training

    1) 265 - pumped - heaviest I've cleaned since hurting my back last year on heavy cleans. Form was really good but didn't want to push it any heavier yet.
    2) 11:28 - dogged it a bit - running is definitely a goat. Can run fast but it takes too much out of me - mechanics issue. High on the goat list.

  19. 1. 300

    3. 190# bench, 245 # sled on turf with 2 turn arounds, 13:10 15/10/10/10

  24. Feeling great today! Was ready to get after it.

    A. Complex
    =275lb

    Really happy with this! This was my goal with this today and I felt solid.

    B. 3RFT
    =4:23 RX
    GHD's ate me up. Not the best at cycling them with little rest but I look at it as quality time with a weakness.

    C. 4RFT:
    Max BW Bench, 185lb: 13/8/7/7
    50m Prowler push, 250lb (outside on a tough asphalt surface)
    =10:46

    This is def a pick your poison workout. I hope everyone chose the difficult route and squeeked out every rep they could on the bench and pushed the limits on that prowler because if done right- it got hard!

    D. 5RFT
    No 70lb DB so used 70lb KB
    12:47
    This was brutal. I felt like a grandmother on the runs. Those KB thrusters were no joke. Legs are pooped, solid session.

    Felt like Ben was testing some mental game, as the workouts increase in difficulty and complexity as you go on-well done Ben! I focused on staying positive and feeding myself the right messages as all of these workouts are out of my comfort level.

    Big props to my main man Leon, who cycled those KB thrusters to the lunge like it was nothing and kept a great tempo. Impressive!

    3) 10:58 with push-ups (30-15-11-12) and 6x45# on the prowler. Horrible.

    Decided to call it a day. Shoulder is not liking all this volume. Better rest and take it easy for next week.

  36. Did the regional programming Monday morning seen as my box doesn't open Sundays - I did still end up training but nothing from on here.
    1) Worked up to 80kg - failed on 85kg - couldn't stand up my clean - my 1RM Front Squat is only 90kg and squatting in general is a massive goat that I am working on.
    2) Did this with 80kg rather than the 205lbs (currently my 1RM Power Clean) and finished in 5:15.
    3) Didn't have time and didn't have a prowler may do something similar later on if I get time.
    4) Did this quickly but more focussed on the strength of the movements than moving as quickly as I could. I had to do this with KB's rather than dumbells - no heavy DB.

  47. Regionals (Individual)-

    Up in Orlando for a couple days for my girlfriend's 21st birthday. Pushed Sunday's work back to today due to the drive up from Miami. Dropped into CrossFit OCD- Great space. JT and the rest of the OCD fam was very welcoming. Thanks again JT!

    1. 185/215/235/ 255 Fail on the jerk x3.. Don't know what's going on with my jerk. 235 is 50lbs off of my 1RM C&J from about 9 months ago. Really need to work on tech. A month to go.

    2. 4:26 - fast GHD's, and quick singles on the cleans.

    3. 8:02 - Low style sled +70lbs. BP @165. 16, 6, 5, 6. Fun but tough finding the balance between resting to maximize the amount of BP reps, but also stay fast for the time on the WOD.

    4. Will have to save for later tonight.
