  2. Coach due an injurie i have on my shoulder i must skip c2b at the moment how i can replace it ?

    ReplyDelete

    1. it depends on your shoulder mobility. If hanging is the issue then that takes all those movements out.. If you can pull like a row, then you can do ring rows. Anything that targets your back and pulling. If all those movements are no good due to shoulder, there is still the explosive movement in the c2b with your hips. So you could do KB swings. Again, depends on what hurts and what your shoulder can handle. Nothing is worth injuring it more. Worst case do some type of ab movement targeting your core. You can never go wrong with that. All of these just suggestions. I've been coaching for a few years so that is the protocol I personally would use. Of course, if Coach Ben gives you advice go with his!

  8. Hey Everyone,
    I have not posted since the Open, because I changed my programming to a gymnastics bias to get ready for the NPFL combine in Atlanta which occurred last weekend. I qualified for the finals in Las Vegas because I am a 40+ body weight specialist.
    I just wanted to wish those who qualified for Regionals good luck. And a congratulations to Vadim for qualifying for the Games. Awesome job man, go kill it!
    Thanks for the programming Ben, it's truly awesome.

    2. Victor, Congrats on making it to Vegas! You killed it over the weekend!

    3. Congratulations Victor! That is really exciting!

    4. Cliff - I didn't know you were following CompWod! You cane a beast, keep up the good work.

      Danielle - The NPFL is very fun to watch and do. The fact that you can be a specialist is even better. The powers o be of the NPFL mentioned that being a specialist is gonna be the way to go. It definitely plays in my favor as the heavy ballistic weights take a toll on my body, but the gymnastics is something I can do for a long time without breaking down. I kinda feel like a place kicker in the NFL. Those guys are old as dirt (comparably speaking) and still play.

      Thanks for your support!

    I am a bit backwards with the programming I will be back on track from here on out. I did day 1 stuff today and day two stuff on Wednesday after it came out. Here is what I have so far

    Event 4: 12:39rx
    Event 5: 3:31rx

    Day 1
    Event 1: 205#... Not happy about this total but it matches a hang snatch pr

    Event 2: 360' (3 UB 120' laps)

    Event 3: 8:31 rx everything UB Minus the last set of cleans I peeled off on 6...

    I am feeling really good about all of the events so far minus that snatch... I'm just hoping not too many women out snatch me hah. There are some super strong and athletic women in this sport!

    1. Are you sure your event 5 time is correct?

      Delete
    2. yep, ex-gymnast...legless rope climbs are easier/faster in small sets over leg assisted... however my rope is only 12' so I did not jump and just pulled from the floor. ( I assumed with a running jump I could hit two feet on a leap, so i figured it was fair).
      My set up was sprint 100' turn around sprint back 100' then from a dead stand 12' rope climb (legless)

      I'll video next time :)

      Delete
    3. NO worries thats my mistake I had convinced myself it was a 200meter run and that time was not computing with that distance, but obviously 200' all total only adds up to about 600 meters so yeah good job man you killed it. Now I have a mountain to climb to try and beat that

      Delete
    4. haha no worries, I am excited about this one though. Best of luck man! Make sure you sprint the runs! This is way different than the rope climb WOD form last year.

  14. Finished in 11:21 need a little moe speed on the pistols. Def think I can shave 1:30 off that time..... We will see next week:). http://instagram.com/p/nbzyKqKuNb/

  15. Did the strict HSPU WOD yesterday... it definitely isn't as bad as it looked, I paced pretty hard:
    1. Max Hand Squat Snatch @ 145#
    Failed at 155# like 6 times, I know I have this in me...

    2. 21-15-9-6-3
    Strict HSPU
    Front Squats, 195/125
    Bar Facing Burpees
    Time: 16:03min

    3. 20min EMOM:
    10 alternating pistols
    3 muscle ups
    This was easy peasy, should have went for 5's on the MU

    Super pumped they finally released the team WODs... can't wait to get after them!
