  1. Ok, everyone... Question on the "Box Jumps". I suck at them (i.e.~ no rebound at the bottom). I can do the "step-up" version and use it as "recovery" during a WOD like this.
    IF it does not say "games standard" does it mean we should be doing box jumps, is the "step-up" always accepted?
    Maybe even more of the question is (knowing this is a GOAT) should I just do BOX JUMPS and suck it up?!?!? Another GOAT is my aerobic capacity, so if I do jumps it tends to take longer for recovery time w/in the workout as well...whereas step-ups force me to keep moving!
    Thoughts/Suggestions???

  2. One suggestion is to use a 20" box and force yourself to rebound. I did that last week and holy cow was I winded.

    1. Thanks for the advice... I will use this once in a while. I have been adding rebounding Box Jumps to the warm-up at a lower wt.

  3. tb, it's the way to do those BJ: jump up/step down. During last 2 years BJ were my GOAT also. Practice and practice. May be lose weight, it'll help.

  7. Did the open today at the house.

    1) 195. Form is starting to feel better. Now just to increase mobility.

    2) 135 across

    3) 8.59 for metcon. Wallballs unbroken. Box jumps slow and controlled. Have a bad habit of jumping too far away from the box when I try to go quick through box jumps.

  12. Regional:

    1. ''Fore'' - C&J (35); Row for cal (66); Burpees (73) - Felt like I eased into it a little bit too much, could have hit 40+C&J and still maintained the rest of the workout.

    2. For Time - 8:18 - First time I have had the balls to do a workout like this unbroken, felt really good, box jumps acted as recovery from wall balls.

    3. 3RFT - 16:20 - Felt so good after last workout...haha then this workout happened:-) My pushing endurance goat killed me here, failed the bench press a few times without a spotter, so a lot of time wasted getting restarted, gonna hit this goat HARD!!!

  13. Open:

    1. Hit 198 lbs. easy. Failed the third jerk at 209, got some instant critique on my failed jerk (too much dip before the drive), picked the weight back up and nailed the best jerk of my life.
    2. 115 lbs. I hate this so much.
    3. 11:16. Wall balls 50/20-10-10/20-10/12-8/10 Box jumps all unbroken and rebounded except set of 5 I jumped up and stepped down.

    Awesome day! Have a great one everybody.

      Nice to go for and extra rep and get it with perfect form!! Great job on the finish of the Jerk!

    2. Hey Michael! Good to see you're back. Nice numbers. Snatch used to be a movement I didn't particularly like doing. I spent some time working with a weightlifting coach and it really helped. Now, I actually look forward to snatches. It's still a work in progress. But now I can actually measure the progress. Keep up the good work.

      Delete
    3. The funny thing is I LOVE to snatch because despite of the fact that I am still very inefficient at it, I have improved so much in the last year. However, I don't care how awesome I ever become at snatching I will always dislike that 5 on the minute. Gives me Fran cough!

      Delete
    4. Good work Michael! I hear you on those snatches, 5 on the minute sometimes feel like a sprint met con in terms of pain!

    Warm-Up was 5 x BB Court Suicide runs w/ 30sec b/t

    205# / 135# / 20:34 (30# WB / Jump Up & Step Downs-Vadim's suggestion)

    How about getting the same wt. from yesterdays complex...unreal!
    Then the WB/BJ just beat the crap out of me...50 (15-8-7-6-6-8)...all downhill after that! Never a set of more than 8 until the last 10.

    1. Tony, tough stuff going with the 30 pounder! I thought about it for a while and decided that I would give the 20 a try just to measure the progress I have made by using the 30. Big difference! Great work today!

    2. I contemplated the 30 pounder (thinking of both of you), but I just couldn't pull the trigger. It didn't feel like the right WOD to try it for the first time - although I did warm up with it ;o) Nice work Tony - that had to be a killer.

  24. Regionals-

    Was great to hit this with two of my buddies. Hate training alone. One is STRONG as heck, tall, about 220lbs, with a decent motor, and he'll be competing on our Regional's squad (2RM Power Snatch= 245). We are sitting in 30th in the SE, so I think it's all but locked up. The other is short and stocky, but a fire-fighter- not a ton of time to train, but still pretty darn gymnast.

    1.) Me- 38 C&J/ 66 Cals/ 64 Burpees
    Big guy- 35 (did 1 arm alt. DB snatches @100)/ 71 cals/ 55 burpees
    Short stocky- 41 C&J/ 55 Cals/ 58 burpees

    2.) Me- 9:10 - UB on 50 Wallballs, and from there broke it up a ton.
    Big guy- 9:11
    Shorty stocky- 10:41

    3.) Me- 16:23 - Had to break up the bench press a ton…last round 3/then singles the rest
    Big guy- 14:40 - UB on Round 1 on BP, and then 2 or 3 sets for the rest.
    Short stocky- ~15:00 - Butterfly sit-ups instead of GHD's

    1. Hey Jamie,
      Since our team is getting ready for regionals we are throwing to the 10' target. We usually do throw to the 10' target regardless, until the open, that way it makes things easier for competition. Just my 2 cents!

    1. 42/64/64. Went too fast out of the gate on the c&j. Then wasted the first 30 seconds on the row trying to get my feet in.
    2. Don't usually skip components but was short on time today.
    3. Way too long. I guess I've forgotten how to do bar muscle ups in the last few months. So instead of doing 10 I gave 10 attempts.
    -pretty poor day overall, but you can't win em all right? Get back to the grind tomorrow!

  65. 1. 200 lb
    2. 115 across. Felt good but was scared of 135. I've not done a lot of t&g snatches.
    3. 12:30 RX. I spend too much time spent on box jumps. Rebounding is tough for me.
