Quick question about the metcon on the box over jumps are we opening the hips or going for speed?
ReplyDeleteI don't think you open hips for box jump overs.. I usually clear the box without landing in top.
DeleteIn the market for a new jump rope - What are your recommendations?
ReplyDeleteAgain Faster Revoltion rope. RX ropes are good to. It's all about what type of handle you prefer between the two.
Deletei got an RPM rope. best thing i've ever had. I started with a rogue rope, got an rx rope, and the again faster rope. this one by far take the least effort to go fast and last the longest without it falling apart or the cable breaking

ReplyDeleteHi Guys
ReplyDeleteI am new on the site and would like to know to improve on the fitness test from monday what is your best advice? Just do more lite body weight metcon's that push your capacity to the max or interval running type of work.
That workout really exposed a weakness of me.
Ref to the "Bergeron Beep Test"
DeleteHonestly Johann, just stick with the programming and you will improve. I would caution against doing specific training to improve one particular test. This programming will get you where you need to be. Trust it and work your hard.
DeleteDefinitely agree with Victor on that one! Only been on Ben's programming for about 2 months but really starting to see the results.
DeleteThanks guys I really appreciate the feed back wil do as you say

ReplyDeleteRegionals
ReplyDeleteOverall wasn't quite feeling it today for whatever reason. But still got all the work done and got 1% better because of it.
1) 418
2A) 45# bar only
2B) two 35# kbs
3A) 220 across
3B) bar with two 35# kb's. Did 20/17/16. Didn't have any lighter kb's and this was really awkward.
4)
Box jump overs: 28/22/24
TTB: 22/22/18
Deadlifts: 15/16/14
Total: 179.
5) done: .55/.56/.56/.58/.57
The jerk grip overhead squats were ugly. I'm still working on improving my scapular strength and thoracic mobility, and it has been feeling better but days like today with similar overhead work can be discouraging.
1. Pulls
ReplyDelete350#
2. Odd Object/Movement
A. Up to 95#, Still working ankle and calf mobility seem to get into toes way to much on these movements. Staying consistent with my squat therapy starting to feel better.
B. Did several sets at 35# then 45# tried 53# not happening same problem as above.
3. Bench Press
A. 225#
B. Started with 53# DB held by bands, did a set of 5 and noticed was to heavy. Dropped to 35# with bands. Much more difficult then anticipated.

ReplyDeleteQuestion for you all...
ReplyDeleteWhat is your protocol for tapering the week before a competition?
I am competing at Wodapalooza in the Masters division on January 17-19 in Miami. So this coming week will be my taper. Also, are any of you competing at Wodapalooza as well?
Thanks ahead of time.

Forgot to mention that I had a great coaching moment today. I've been coaching my girlfriend in crossfit for about 6months now. When she first started she could barely deadlift 125lbs. Today she hit 205. She regularly follows CompWod to the best of her abilities. Her metcon numbers have gone up so much in such little time. Just another one of the many success stories of those who follow CompWod!
DeleteCongratulations to her and you! You are a brave man. I don't think I would ever dare to try to coach my wife of 25 years! Could be dangerous.
