  19. Too exhausted from my comp this weekend, going to row, foam roll, and stretch. You guys ever try Steinborn Squat? Awkward and awful. We had to do it for a maximal load. First multi day comp, was fun to see how well I was able to stay on top of nutrition and recovery. I did solid, definitely need to make some adjustments. Thanks for the programming! None of the weights or movements troubled me besides the Steinborn. Happy Monday everyone!

    1. Wow on the Steinborn! I had never heard of that until you just mentioned it and I googled it. That looks horrific. I have to ask: what weight did you get up to?

    2. if someone did that in my gym, i'd set up a box next to them, and macho man randy savage elbow them right on top of the head. (RIP Macho Man)

    3. Seriously....for max load? That's crazy. What comp was this? Want to make sure I never sign a waiver at their gym. Dex.....for real....elbow, or power bomb.

    4. Jesse Ward up at Lynnwood Crossfit programmed it. He is good buddies with Kurtis Bowler down at Rainier Crossfit. Most people including myself did this style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxm8YPgxRX0 which is newer I guess? I hit 185 on my opening attempt. Went for 225 on my final attempt but didn't like the way it felt and bailed. Handful of guys hit 255-275 and one guy hit 315, it was insane to watch for sure.

    5. I'm not a violent man by nature, but I would fist fight anyone that asked me to do this for max load.

  27. Another day, another kick in the d**k for my ego!

    Regional
    1 - 65kg
    2 - 75kg
    3 - 125kg across
    4 - 27 reps scaled to 60kg. They were squat clean thrusters - massively scaled but sadly right now thats where I am.
    Mobility is causing issues with catching in the rack - kept squat cleans low because I didn't want any misses and trying to polish this movement.

  28. Metcon - 36 (72)
    Did feel like it today. Shouldve hit 40

    Did Wendler BS before

  29. 1. 175# with several misses. Did singles after to make up the misses. I'm really struggling with snatch lately and I'm pretty sure based on my other lifts that its all technique issues.

    2. Manimal! The fall off wasn't that bad! I did 10 in the first 1:03 and I only squeezed out 18 more over the next 4 minutes. Great job as always.

      Delete
    3. I think your way was the way to go. I paced and only did 8 the first round and still couldn't maintain in later minutes even though I felt great in the first couple. I think going a little harder early and then "falling off" would have yielded a few more reps in total!

    4. Nice job! All the way around.

  74. Prepping for Winterlift next Saturday, to hopefully qualify for provincials in Ontario, therefore I deviated a bit from the programming:

    Worked up to a 1RM Snatch: this felt awesome, easy and light, everything is feeling good here... hit 69kg (1kg PR). I will be lifting in the 63kg class.

    Worked up to a 1RM C&J: hit 80kg, this felt sloppy and heavy... tried to hit 85kg (which is my 1RM) but couldn't hit it. Feeling nervous but ready for the comp...

  80. Open Program
    1) 26.5 - 2.5 reps improvement from 2011 Open. Pretty pumped considering this was a strong area even back then.
    2) 160 - 5 lbs more than last week.
