Oh yey boy!

Damn this site's good.

Ahhh, now I understand why I can't do those; I've been putting my hands right next to my head.

OK, I just tried it out right here in my office. I did it.

Hey Coach Roger, thanks a ton man. Such a simple solution. And thank you all for putting these videos up.

Excellent and straightforward article, no BS.

Hard to teach??
In less than a year, with no pro instruction, I have learned the basics of the clean and snatch.
Like Wendler says, I'm not training to be an Oly lifter, simply using the lifts to increase my strength and power.

Dangerous?
The only time I've considered these lifts dangerous, is when I've just cleaned 250lbs, and I've got people walking by me, practically stepping on my toes, because they have no F------ ettiquette or sense of what I'm doing.

Excellent point on the percentages used for Olympic lifts. 80% or above!! for sure.

As for technique, I want to be a better lifter so I can lift more, so I can then be a better athlete, so I can then again lift more and on and on it goes.

Helen.

I don't even want to know the time (it wasn't good). Just doing it felt good.

I haven't needed a rest day quite as bad as I do today in a long, long time. Glad to see it :)

week 1 on zone diet added 5 pullups up to 20.

Santa Cruz gym session:
Warm-up
Deadlifts: 6 sets ending with 305 sets of 1
Rope climbs: Lots
HStand P-ups: Three sets with spot.

GRD-Olly

made up yesterday's WOD in 5:37 w/ 19 jumps/reps. sweetness.

Helen as Rx'd in 10:12

then ...

FS singles up to 245 for new PR by 10 lbs. Failed at 255.

OHS singles up to 165 for new PR by 20 lbs. Failed at 185.

Executed Saturday's WoD with the following results:
-16 Thruster reps and 15 pull-ups, all in just under 20min.
-Additional aggresive tactics practice.
-Additional OHS sets at 35 and 85lbs.
-Addtional assisted HSPU sets.
-Additional L-sit sets.

Correction,
From yesterday, my distance for the jumps was 48m.

Did yesterdays WOD today:

As prescribed: 6:48
20 jumps
20 lunges
20 x 195lb DL
20 box jumps
20 squats

Did yesterdays WOD today.
- 21 broad jumps (21 jumps that were ~7 feet)
- 21 lunges each leg (didn't rest, but had to stop and turn around after every 3-4 lunges)
- 21x205# DL (unbroken!)
- 21 box jumps (box may have been 18", but the next one up was 32"...and that wasn't going to happen)
- 21 squats

Nice workout. Next time I will make sure to log my time and try to do it outside so that all the movements are continuous.

HAHAHA, great video too! Just did my first unassisted headstand.

BW 205. Ran a mile in 6:03 on a regulation track.

Walked a lap and did yesterday's WOD in 5:56. Sub'd a 50 yard bear crawl for DL's (I know I could have pulled BW DL faster than a 50 yard bear crawl).

Although almost exact in time duration, my Heart rate during the WOD was much higher 200+ BPM than the mile run @ 180 BPM.

Thanks, Coach. Hope to see you soon.

Mulcahy--good to see you're hangin' tough, bro.

Did the "Murph" today.

1 mile, the 10 sets of 10-20-30 then 1 mile.

59:09

WOW. All I wanted to do was finish. Didn't even have a rest day beforehand.

Might need another rest day tomorrow. LOL

Wow, great video. I watched it and went out into my living room and pressed into a headstand easy as pie. Excellent coaching Roger and Carrie.

Todays workout:
Morning: 65 minutes bike, working out soreness from rugby game Saturday
Afternoon:
Deadlift: 135x10, 225x10, 275x8, 315x5, 365x2, 385x2.
Front Squat: 135x10, 185x5, 205x3, 225x2, 245x1, 265x1. All A2A.
Everything over 185 was a PR, as I hadn't ever attemped heavy FS, 265 was fairly easy, but I had to get to work, so I quit there.

Vanessa: 100 pull-ups in 10:48.

After checking todays WOD, I realize I should have known better. Front squat 8 sets of three. That'll teach me to disobey the WOD.

Group Moffett completed Sunday's WOD today:

Broad jump 50 yards counting of jumps
Lunge that number of reps
Deadlift bodyweight that many reps
Box jump "20 that many reps
Squat that many reps

22, 26, 27 jumps for 50 yards
same number for lunges
220lb, 255lb, 195lb were weight used for deadlift
Box jumps and Squats were same as number of jumps
Total time: 9:30:19

Coach

Are there plans to add these videos to the Exercises page for future reference?

nursing yet another judo-induced leg injury.

"lynnE" - rings version
ring dips 21/16/12/12/10 = 71
L-pullups (rings) 14/11/10/10/10 = 55

+20 kipping pullups (bar) afterward.

As rx'd

1 rep
time: 24 hours
tied PR.

Did showdown, :02::41.
Then squats with my bodyweight for 20 reps...I broke these up; after the seminar I understand that the need for good (perfect) form is essential. Even though I know that I could have gutted out the 20 without problem, I stopped to ensure perfect form.
Then the same with 3x5 snatch...used only 65lbs. but concentrated on the instructions given by Coach B in San Diego.

Did a couple of ladders back to back:

Alternate exercises doing 5/10/15 reps
DL (.66 BW=135) and Ring Dips.

Then, doing 5/10/15 reps of

Box Jump equivalents on Stairs (3 stairs=18") and pushups.

Under ten minutes but gassed and drenched.

Surfing the rest of the week=no WoDs although I am thinking about doing some cold water intervals (100 yard ocean swims with fins, swell is going to be 9 feet) and 100 yard runs on beach back to starting point.
