"We don't have the agility of gymnasts, the power of a weightlifter, or the endurance of a marathoner but we have more agility, power, and endurance than any gymnast, weightlifter or marathoner. We do your stuff almost as good as you, you can’t do our stuff at all and we do stuff neither of us does way better than you can." -Greg Glassman, aka "Coach"

OPT #13

OPT #13, Training Monday 8-30:

1 mile warm-up (9:45)

For time:
15 chin ups
Row 250 m.... 45# KB SDLHP
10 burpees
Row 250 m
15 chin ups
Row 250 m
10 burpees‬‪

4:11

Subbed 45# KB SDLHP x 25 for the rows... tried to get chin over plane of bar, no butterfly atleast... and pulled high enough, but I need to get a wider grip to break the plane next time.

Bench
X5. 135-205-265-295-315-340
X3. 365-375x1-375x2

feet slipped on first set of 375, then I was rushed and out of gas,... next time do 3's or 5's dont mix them... 340x5 cashed me out and couldnt hit the 3's very hard like I wanted to
225x16

OPT #12

Training Saturday 8-28:

Dead Lift - 10 sets of 1; rest 90 sec
(total score is total weight lifted in all sets combined
X5. 135-205-245
X3. 295-335-375

X1. 405-415-425-435-445-455-460-465-470-475 (4,005#)

Wasnt sure how the 90sec rest was gonna take its toll, but it wasnt too bad. I would have liked to gone heavier, but we were statring to meet to go over film so I guess I will have to test my max some other time... felt like I could have done to 490 or so.... maybe 500 with some recovery between sets... Oh well I lifted 2 tons, I guess that is enough

OPT #11

Training Friday 8-27:

A. 30 sec amrap/60 sec rest - db push press - 35# - 5 sets
rest 30 seconds
29-33-37-33-34

B. As many sets of 15 unbroken CTB chin ups in 10 min
6

rest 30 seconds
C. Run 3K for time
17:32

DB PP was light but I felt the burn toward the end of each set. What a difference 15compared to 10 C2B PU made... especially the last 3 or 4 of them. I grazed my chest each time but I did not always get a 'thud' My arms and shoulders are toasted. I did not have my mind right for the 3K, started off nice and easy and gradually increased my pace keeping up with Clayton. I pushed it hard at the end trying to catch the "Irish Greyhound" but... NO DICE! Might have been able to hold the pace a bit longer but I dont think I could have gone any faster

OPT Day #10

Training Wednesday 8-25:

As many rounds in 20 minutes:
2 Power Clean - 185#
2 Squat Clean - 185#
7 muscle ups... progressions off of toes
Sprint 100m

8 rounds

Dropped the bar after each PC and SC rep. I need to spend some time on the rings and get where I can do legit muscle ups... time, that would be nice!! Squat cleans were heavy,... not too far off my max
Good WOD!

Tuesday, August 24, 2010

OPT #9

Training Tuesday 8-24:

A. Squat Snatch - 5,5,5,5,5;
95-95-115-125-130-135-140

rest 3 min
B. 1-10 HSPU Ladder for time
6:15

C. 10 sets of 30 unbroken double unders for time (sub 100x3)
2:12. 2:19. 2:19

Squat snatch is getting better, but still not near low enough... hip and shoulder flexibility needs to stay a focus. HSPU ladder started to breakdown around 7 then it was 3-4 at a time. Since I know I cant do 30 unbrocken DUers I thought 100x3 with minimal (30 sec or so) rest between sets would be a decent sub. These are getting better, 10-20 at a time once I get in a rythm.

Monday, August 23, 2010

OPT #8

Training Monday 8-23:

For reps:
A. Tabata Pistols (alernate per set - 4 sets/leg)
(R-L)11-6. 8-7. 10-7. 8-7
37-27. (64 total)


rest 10 second
B. For sets: As many sets of 10 unbroken CTB chin ups in 5 min
X. X. X. X. X. X. (6 sets +5reps)

rest 10 second
C. For time:
75 reps - 36"/30" box jumps.
9:50 on a 32" box

score like this - total pistols + total sets + total time(i.e. 64+18+3:55)
64+6+9:50

Pistols were done on the short box, left side is tight and wobbly. C2B PU's were done with 30 sec rest between sets. Box jumps back and forth with Clayton on the wooden box. Wanted to do something heavy but couldnt decide what... almost flipped the tire a few times... 5x5 squat snatch and 185# cleans coming next 2 days, so I called it a day

Saturday, August 21, 2010

OPT #7

8-21

A1. Power Clean - 5 touch and go reps heavy; rest 10sec
155-165-175-185-190-195-200

A2. Russian KBS - 15 reps heavy; rest 10 sec
75-85-95-100-100-100-100

A3. Bench Press - amrap @ 135#; rest 3 min
45-32-27-27-22-21-21

7 sets; weight must increase per set on A1

Pleased witht the weight on PC's, used DB's for Russian KBS. Rest was probably closer to 2:15 than 3 min... I was running short on time so after bench I changed weight on PC, got a drink, dried my face and hands, chalked up and went. Good WOD... shoulders are cashed!!!

OPT #6

Training Friday 8-20:
A. Split Jerk from rack - 1,1,1,1,1,1,1; rest 4 min
185-195-200-205-210-215-220-225
(after completing your last set of 1 for the split jerk, immediately turn a timer on for 3 minutes and perform as many burpees as you can; jump to touch an object 12" above max reach at top)
40
(watch malfunction)... well sort of, it was my fault, I set it for 3hrs not 3 min. Clayton did 48 so I figured 40 was close to 3min for me

Training Friday 8-20:
5 rounds for time:
25 unbroken wall balls - 20# to 10ft target
10 unbroken CTB chin ups
12:21

the unbroken aspect of the wallballs made this wod suck... could have finished faster but wanted to rest between enough to be sure to get all 25 unbroken

25-55-75#
C. Run 800 m @ 80% x 1
(3:21) (3:22 on 6-4 was my PR)

cadence made the OHS and the dips harder for sure... pleased with the ROM and numbers on OHS, felt good and low still need to focus on stretching and hip mobility. 800 was probably closer to 90%... pushed it harder since it was our metcon
