The Only Easy Day was Yesterday!

Amen!

Good luck...

this workout is crazy

Any recommendations if you are doing this at home? I don't have three bars! Thanks in advance for the help...Cheers!

I can't believe this happened today, when I'm 60 miles from a gym with olympic weights and 3000 miles from the friends I lift with. Was looking forward to this for a long time.

#5, use dumbells?

#7, thanks...I thought of that, but I don't have enough weight. I think I will have to pick a weight that I can do all three exercises with and use that. Thanks anyway...cheers!

What's the highest weight in DB you have, #8?

This is awesome!!!

Raised the weight last time and suffered on time, this time I'm gonna' keep the weight the same and see how my time improves.

This is gonna hurt. Pukie, might be showing up...

ouch...might see some of that leftover turkey again....lovely.

will have to do this one later cuz my hands are still torn up from all the towel pullups.

Would there be any close subs no matter what the number for cleans?? Don't have a gym where i can do big movements without bumping something, any help would be great, nothin in the sub section for those...

#9 gaucoin, the highest I have is 50's...what are you thinking?

spk - You could always try single dumbell cleans, same number on each arm, you would have to drop weight obviously but you would have most of the clean there.

Can you clean a pair of DBs? If so, would you use a palms inward grip--as in the hammer position?

I have a sneaking suspicion someone named this after their ex-wife...hehehe no offense ladies...

DL: 225
BP: 185
CL: 135
last time: 60:34
this time: 45:09

DL broken into sets until 6
BP broken into sets until 5
CL broken into sets unitl 6

last time I did this I upped the weight on the deadlifts and cleans, and my time suffered for it. This time I use the same weight and dropped 15 min off my time. It's good to see progress. Next time "diane" shows up I will move the weight up.

BW : 70kg

WU : run to gym (6:15), dynamic stretching

Main: 16:40, with ~50% of scaling of weights
DL : 55 ; BP : 35 ; CL : 27.5kg (all power cleans from ground). I do not remember when I was sweating so much in my life

No broken sets, but some rest between the first 5 rounds. Note to self : leaving CFWU out to save time is false economy. Some squats and back extensions are essential for a good warmup and to avoid injury when doing deadlifts.

13:41 - 185# deadlifts, ring dips, 85# cleans. Bwt 114#. Off to work unexpected overtime...

Question: I'm pretty sure that I have overtrained on my bp. I benched yesterday. Should I attempt to do the workout today? or wait until the rest day?

#15 Charles: - You don't have room to CLEAN? Geesh, now THAT is a tight gym!

My gym formally does not allow cleans, c&j and snatch, but since none of the 19 year old staff knows what any of those look like, I've been doing them there for a couple months and have been ok so far.

Sbm,
It is a myth that you can't work the same body part/ exercise two days in a row. It does depend on the volume and intensity you are doing them at though. It also depends on how you feel, if you are sore take a day off, but if you benched heavy yesterday go at a lighter intensity today or use DB's.

Is better to keep the weight up and die early or lower the weight and finish every rep?

Third CF workout ever. Still confined to tiny YMCA gym and no real olympic lift training so had to make some adjustments:

Alternated between DL (135lbs) and BP (135lbs) as Rx'd - I had to steal the only two bars to do this and one guy wanted to 'work in' on the deadlifts. Then I finished up with some 'easy' cleans: 5 sets of 5 with 75lbs. Wish I had a coach - I'm a little worried about doing these wrong so gotta be pretty conservative.

BW: 175 Time: ~30min

I can't wait until my weights/mats are delivered this week!!

Scaled the weight back to around body weight DL, (170) a little more than 75% BP (135) and a little more than 50% cleans (89) for a time of 25:38

155 Bench
155 DL

If anyone out there has the NSN number or whatever number that is in the military/mwr "system" for C2 rowers, please let me know. That is one piece of equipment that we don't have and I can't make. Thanks (I modified my email to cut down on the spam, but it is easy to figure out)

Age 43, bw 175 which is just shy of 80kg.
Used 120kg on deadlifts, 80kg on bench and 60kg on cleans.
Time: 23:18, 1:02 faster than last time. First 19 cleans were full squat cleans, the rest more closely resembled a power clean. Racked the bar on 3 different rounds before getting the last rep, otherwise the other 7 rounds were to completion. The deads were unbroken. The cleans broke me.

what a great workout. you can play my back like a guitar. it is tight.

Missed out on the last three due to timing/driving to visit family. May or may not make up, but I love Linda so we left early enough to get it in before work today. Lots of time on monkey bars, etc. with nieces yesterday + 5ish mile hilly run made me a bit tired today...

Although I upped the weight and %BW, my time definitely suffered, where the last three times it had been similar even with upping the weight. It's worth it because I knew I could do it with heavier weights, but next time I'll leave them the same and work on form and speed. It works out to 7.56#/sec this time v. 8.19#/sec last time if my math was right...

June 7: Deadlift 115, bench 80, clean 60.

Much better performance this time than the last time. Bench presses were the hardest, but nothing was ever broken in more than 3 subsets. First half of the workout (rounds 1-5) are always the most demoralizing, but I got through the hump pretty well today.

2 X CFWU (Did more push ups and dips than normal for me. Slight improvement)

Most sets broken up at the beginning. After 5, all sets complete.

DL-205 (with hex bar)
Bench- 155
Cleans- 115

About 32min (forgot to start and stop but that was about right)
Best part of work out was when I finished seeing the faces of the Air Force folks around the Gym. One took over my Clean bar and said he didn't want any of what I was doing, way to hard! That mad the whole work out worthwhile, right there!

Jen: BW 115#
125/85/63 - 23:50

Paul: BW 175#

40:09

BW: 180
DL: 200 (25kg+10kg on bar)
BP: 155
CL: 115 (15kg on bar)

DL and CL were good, unbroken sets with full ROM. BP sucked...all broken sets. This is 11 minutes worse than last time. Maybe doing this in the morning before breakfast on 6 hours sleep was the biggest contributor.

Age 39 (as of today)
Bw 195

scaled wt last time to the following:
DL 185, BP 140, CL 95
Time 23:14

Kept wt the same to make comparison.

bw 203

dl 305

only completed 10/9/8/7 then stopped because of hamstring.

46/154/M
DL 135# (up from 115)
Bench 105# (up from 95)
Clean 75# (up from 65)

26:02

Unable to finish last couple of Lindas, so finishing with increased weight under 30 felt good.

Note: increase bench to 115 at least, try DL @ 155 next time.

Dropped DL to 185 as my form on Diane last week was a bit rough and I needed to focus on form.

22 minutes.

I did Linda's skinny triathalon sister today.

DL: 275
BP: 185
Clean: 135
Time: 23:52, almost 10 min faster than September. Will add a few pounds next time.

This was my first workout after coming back from a week+ holiday layoff. Don't have a bench, so did 2x pushups for each rx'd rep of bench (i.e. 20, 18, 16, etc.). Power cleans were at 135, Deadlift at 175. Bodyweight 210. I only have one bar, so I had to spend a lot of time adding and taking off weight. I ended up doing just the rounds from 10 to 6. Form was not as good as it should have been on cleans.

Time: 29:00

BW: 178 Age:30
DL:215 BP: 165 FSC:115

59 minutes... ugh.

I have to say that the speed workouts are frustrating in a commercial gym like mine. I can't set up 3 separate bars or stations because the equipment I'm not on will immediately be used as soon as I move to the next bar.

I feel like I'm always waiting, changing plates, trying to work in with some idiot who wants to use the only squat rack in the place to do shoulder shrugs he could do anywhere else in the gym.

Ok... enough crying...

Dissapointing day for me.
Got to round 7 and tweaked my back on the way down during the last clean.
decided to stop so that I could work out tomorrow- iced it three times today and took ibuprofen- feels good now and think I'll be ready for the pull ups tomorrow- feel like a wussy for stopping though.

Wow, I lost a lot of fitness while in my flirtation with oly lifting. Did Linda using chest-slapping pushups, 185# DL, 115# clean, using one bar. 35.28. Was dying throughout. BW has "ballooned" to 155# from 150# previously. Feel very soft and out of shape. Gotta keep plugging!!
