Spealler's GHD Bench Press.
2014 REGIONAL & GAMES ATHLETES
1. Snatch Complex
5 sets of: 4-Position Snatch
Position 1: High Hang (pockets) - should mimic the bottom of the dip on a push press. Vertical torso, bar at hips, weight in mid-foot.
Position 2: Mid Thigh - chest over the bar, bar close to thighs, weight in mid-foot.
Position 3: Low Hang (below knees) - looking for vertical shins and chest as high as possible.
Position 4: Full Snatch (from the floor) - looking to hit all the position throughout the lift.
This is not suppose to be a heavy set. Go lighter and drill in the positions.
Every rep is done as a squat snatch.
The idea is to dial in the first position.
Then dial in the second position and pass through position 1.
Then dial in position position 3 and pass through 2 and 1.
Then do a full snatch passing through every position.

Couch, should we start with double unders in the metcon?
ReplyDeleteThink you start with snatches Stas.
DeleteHow can you call him Couch ;)
hoho.. Certainly coach. It was 3 am when i wrote it. I had to re-read twice what I wrote.
DeleteAnyway I started with DUs and completed 30 snatches in 5:00
Nice work on the snatches dude!
DeleteYou're in good shape man!!
DeleteKeep pushing!!
starts with snatches
Deletethank u guys!
DeleteThis should be fun
ReplyDeleteTerminators!
ReplyDeleteWish there was a video of the snatch complex. Fairly sure what it is, but i'm a visual learner :)
ReplyDeleteRegionals
ReplyDelete1.4-Position Snatch- 95,115,135x3. These felt solid.
2.Well, me being the stubborn kid I am, I said that the most I was scaling this was 155lbs. Bad idea. Made it to 20 in 14:55. Stopped there. Got my butt handed to me in this one.
3.Done.
Okay I had of the wrong attitude on this. Thinking back on my performance, a couple of months ago I couldn't have even dreamed of doing that many snatches at 155 in Any period of time. So I didn't do that bad.
DeleteSince I've been watching your numbers you've made tremendous improvements bro, keep up the great work. You could've taken it a little lighter on the 4 position snatches though that was 12 full snatches at 135 couldn't have helped
DeleteThanks man! Yeah, those first snatches probably didn't help haha
DeleteOpen:
ReplyDelete4 pos snatch - 88/88/99/99/110, kept it light and quick!
METCON - 18:00, WOW!!! Scaled to #145. Reps went 6,3,2, & 1-2 for the rest of the time. At rep 23 I scaled the dubs to 20, total dubs were 490 and I went unb except for 2-3 trip ups.
Terminator - complete, first time on these... tough!
Does anyone know if these wods are on beyond the whiteboard? I couldn't find anything. Thanks!!
ReplyDelete1. Snatch Complex
ReplyDelete5 sets of: 4-Position Snatch

2. Metcon
30 Snatches for time, 185 14:57 Started with snatches 5,3,then 2's&1's w/ some 3's
Went with 185 and went squat snatches across. Only did 20 double unders per round though, must have written it down wrong, no idea where I got that number from.
3. Midline
5x10 GHD Bench Press
Probably the last thing those lower spinal erectors needed after Tuesdays WOD, Done with just the bar, really focused on not letting bar drift.
I had to scale :( was only able to do Metcon
ReplyDelete155 snatch with 15 dubs (my two goats)
Finished in 8:41
OPEN
ReplyDelete1. Metcon - 10:43 Rx
2. 4 Position Snatch - 95-105-115-115 Rx
3. 5x10 GHD Press - used 20# DB
... missed 1 on R9 or would have been sub-10 - super pleased how this went ...
... no room for a bar with the GHD bolted down in a sad little corner of the globogym I'm visiting this week
Open:
ReplyDelete1) 10:47, scaled to 135. Weight felt good, dub's were what held me back.
2) 90 across (60%)
3) Done
Regionals:
ReplyDelete1) 4 position snatch- 95 across. Stayed light and fast felt great!
2) Metcon- 12:52 @ 185. 1st-15 were power, 2nd-15 were full snatch- these actually felt great, felt fast and stable on the bar. Double under were terrible toward the end.
Shouldn't have done in oly's feet started to cramp....
3) GHD Bench Press- bar... these sucked!!
REg
ReplyDelete1) 115*3, 135*2

DeleteGoat :(
ReplyDeleteOpen (but did Regional weight)
ReplyDelete1) 8:55 @ 185 w/ the damn 30 DUs...I took a minute off of snatches in the middle (still did the 30 DUs. Twice in a row basically) because they caught up to me so badly. My lungs are burning.
2) I'll try to do something else a little later
Just reviewed the video...apparently I did the 30 snatches in 6:55, not 8:55...too dazed and confused after this one for sure!
DeleteOhhhh tough guy
Delete1) 185 across
ReplyDelete2) 13 mins. yuck!
3) done.
Open:
ReplyDeleteDid the open rx @ 155 because I've been trying to follow the plan and boost my engine with lighter weights....but I really would like to do this @185
3:54 and a hearty dose of lung burn
Nice warm up
DeleteQuick question for the group... I have been following the Open plan for about 2 weeks now. I am familiar with crossfit and the movements but one thing that has me a little stumped is scaling. Example, yesterday's workout took me 25:00 flat. The weight (185# for DL is 40% of my 1RM DL and 65% of my 1RM for FS. Obviously my conditioning needs massive work but my question is should I be scaling these workouts to get them done quicker or do them as RX'd. What really got me thinking was todays workout is 30 Snatch for time at 155#. My 1RM for snatch is 195# but in reading an article about scaling and intensity last night, I should probably be doing 50-55% of my 1RM for the given rep range. Sorry for the long winded question but I was curious as to what others opinions are around how this should be handled. Thanks for any responses in advance.
ReplyDeleteHey Adam I'm probably not the best person to be answering this question but I'll give it a shot anyway.
DeleteFrom my understanding it's all relative to what you want man. If you know that your engine needs work then scale accordingly so you can get that metabolic conditioning in, however, if you're like me and know your strength is your weakness then go heavy and build that muscle.
Hope I helped a little and good luck training
My max snatch is 185lbs and this workout gave me hell at 155.
DeleteAdam,
DeleteGreat question. Id argue for what is being programmed here Ben is looking for a certain stimulus from each workout.
That is to say that some workouts are intended to be short, some medium, and others longer. Considering that try to scale workouts accordingly most of the time to have the same stimulus for you.
For example, "Isabel, 30 snatches for time 135" takes our top guys less than 5 min some less than 3. So you would want to scale they weight so you could fit under the 5min time cap if you were looking to preserve the stimulus--Try and do this most of the time.
On the other hand you will want to and benefit from "slugging it out" as long as you can maintain mechanics of movement. For example, lets say every time "Isabel" came up in the last year you scaled it to finish in under 5 min. While this will get you better and stronger and fitter you are also bottlenecking yourself to get very good at snatching less than 135lbs for 30 reps. Everyone once in a while, its needed for variance, you have to step out and see what the heck you got and try it Rx--even if you have to fight through it.
Let me know if you have any questions: j.hobart@me.com.
If you have trouble scaling workouts keep posting questions here and the athletes will help you out.

ReplyDeleteDid the snatch complex first for technique and warmup to save some time - 95# across
Metcon - 11:58. Broke a bumper plate mid wod so lost some time. Otherwise, double unders were what held me back, still struggle with them when fatigued. Had a set of no snatches in there... It was 9, 3, then mostly 2's after that. Great wod, 155# snatch have never felt so good.
GHD bench presses, done. Tough than I thought!
