In the afternoon we had an ME day consisting of the Steel Log Press, Push Press and Bench Press. We rotated from exercise to exercise upping the weight and dropping the reps down to whatever max weights we could handle. Stuart blew us all out the water on the push press with 235 which is a long way off for me...I can't bench that. He managed a 225 bench and most of us managed 135 with the log press...though I'm sure I used my legs a bit. We had Stuart, Grant, Nick, Bob, Lance, Toni and me and it was a great strength day.

Behind neck push jerk (115)
Power Clean (95)
10, 9, 8....1

When we do this with the bench press we have to slow down for spotting the bench so I replaced that with a 115 lb behind the neck split jerks. I rolled and taped a towel around the center of the bar to protect our necks and that helped a lot. Took us 21 minutes without too much getting in each other's way with 2 bars for each exercise. Stuart, Nick, Bob, Grant and I used the weights above and a recovering Dayna and Alex did 135 for the DL, 85 for the split jerk and 80 for the power clean. Smoker.

Started with an empty bar and did 5 snatches, then 4 with 75 adding weight and dropping resps as necessary. When we couldn't clean it any more, 105 for me, 115 for Lance and Bob (Alex and Toni were around 65 or so) we moved on to the clean. Then when we ran out of cleans we started with the deadlift and added much more weight with that one. At the end of the deadlifts I got up to 505 with the pull from the knee high pins, Lance got 495.

We finished with Back Squat and I got up to 225, Lance to 215 and Alex to 135 and then we did the bench but only one set of each of the reps getting up to 205 for Lance and me...unassisted for Lance, I needed help.

This was much harder than I thought it was going to be. It was my original intention to go 1 to 10 and maybe if that wasn't hard enough to come back down to 1. But by the time I got to rep 3 we were all so smoked that I knew we wouldn't make it to 10 let alone back down. I changed it mid workout to 5 and back down just out of survival. This one is Over the Top because of how you go up and down the numbers, because of how you go Over the Top of the bar and because in difficulty, it is just Over the Top. For Alex and others that can't do a pullover, do two knees to elbows for each pullover instead.

The scraped off skin on the back of my neck over the T-1 spinal bump is a really terrific indicator that you should use a bar with no center knurling for this. Lowering the bar from overhead after each push jerk got to be hard to steer around that bump after a few rounds.
This workout is in counterpoint to Linda which has the pulling lifts of the deadlift and the clean and I made it up to avoid pulling which hurst Lance's bicep lately.

Friday, December 21, 2007

Friday December 21, 2007

Linda for Jack in 53:20. He benched 180 which took him the longest, deadlifted 275 and cleaned 135. A stickler for doing his own work he didn't count any of his bench reps where I had to give him even the slightest assistance.

Deadlift 1.5 x bodyweight

For Lance and me that was 255 for the DL but I did 225 because 255 was too heavy and Lance did 185 because of his back. We both cleaned 125 and he benched 170 and I think I was doing 165 most of the way through till the lower numbers. I stink at the bench press. Alex did around 95 for the bench press, 135 for the DL and 75 for the cleans. We took about 50 minutes but had to spot each other on the bench. At best we might have improved our time to 45 minutes or maybe 40 if we really pushed it. Fantastic workout even done at a moderate pace.

Press, Push Press, Push Jerk

Starting at 75 lbs and doing 5 reps as long as we were able, then dropping to 3 and 2 and then turning it into a push press and finally a push jerk. I got to 125 for the press, 135 for the push press and 155 for the push jerk. Jack was better pressing 135 and about the same amount more for each of the subsequent lifts. Lance was between me and Jack.

What it looks like now






Here's the new platform. Waiting on a second horizontal bumper rack from Sorinex, the one I have is at a welder's place to have some copies made to hold all those bumpers. Note the finish on the platform. That's 7 coats of polyurathane with plenty of sanding in between. No, it is not slippery, not even when you sweat all over it.







Here's Sammie on the finished ladder. It serves to access the attic above the gym...just a storage area really, but is also for climbing up with your hands only. Here Sammie is climbing down the ladder with just her hands...not bad for a 5 year old. She makes her mom very nervous.



Here's my new logo. The homage to the Punisher skull is evident but it is different enough to not be a copy. The spear and swords are from The 300 and the font is from Blade II.

Improvements







Here's the old set up with the 6 x 8 platform. It was too small and there was not quite enough room between the ends of the bar and the bumpers for dropping the bar and no space at all on the platform outside the cage.










I have to make a mess to improve things so the gym can get a bit trashed sometimes. This part of the mess was to create a new ladder to go from the loft to the attic crawl space.




Where the ladder is is where the new plumbing pipe ladder will be mounted. Had to use a card board mock up to get the angles right. That space on the wall between the pullup bars and the ladder looks like a good spot to mount something.

The Nick and Grant workout was tight from start to finish. Nick is bigger and stronger, Grant is faster and more agile. Nick had the advantage on the rowing machine but he couldn't seem to shake Grant. Nick finished the row first but he went to the push press and while catching his breath Grant caught up. Nick said, "Man, I just can't shake him." It was tight to the finish and both made sweat angels. A good 20 minutes later Grant said, "I'm still not right."

Burgener Warmup

Power Snatch/High Pull 5-4-3-2-1
Power Cleans/High Pull 5-4-3-2-1
DL 5-4-3-2-1
Max pulls from pins

Started with 75 lbs to start for 5 reps and then snatch grip high pulls.
From 5 to 4 reps then to 3 and after the snatches and high pulls do 5 power cleans/high pulls.
After 2 snatches/pulls do 4 power cleans/high pulls.
After 1 snatch/pull and 3 power cleans/high pulls do 5 deadlifts.
Next is 2 power cleans and 4 deadlifts, 1 and 3 and so on.
We found that the DL weight was too light so we started over with 5 for the deadlift.
We started at 225 and I worked up to 2 lifts at 295 but failed at 315. Grant got the 315 as did Jack, Nick and Stuart. Stuart, Nick and Jack left the rest of us in the dust with the DL and went higher but I forget what they pulled. Bob had to leave before we got to the DL.
Then we put a bar up on pin in the rack about mid thigh high with 315 on it. We did sets off pulls off the pins and Jack, Nick and I managed to get 495 up. Stuart has some elbow issues and didn't want to go that heavy today. Take that Micah...495 off the pins.

1 TGU
2 OHS
3 Press
4 Push Press
5 Push Jerk

Do 5 switching hands each time. We used a 36 lb KB and Jack moved through this like he was just putting on his shirt. It just about flattened me. My OHS weakness showed and just as soon as I began the squat, the KB sought the top of my head. After SAD...great acronym for me feelings about this one...I set out KB's in weights of 88 - 36 - 72 - 36 - 61 - 36. We did cleans in reps of 2, 4, 6 with the heavy ones and 8 snatches with the 36's.

Continuously running clock with 5 minutes at each of 6 stations - Power Clean with 95 lbs, Wall Ball with a 20 lb ball, Pullups, KB Push Press with a pair of 44's, Rowing for calories and KB snatch with a 44. Do max reps at each station with as much rest as you need switching every 5 minutes.

By the way Micah...you counted right when you said 275. When you posted my error I went and fixed it. The pullups at each end are supposed to be 25...I had that right, but I had Wall Ball or one of the other exercises at 25 as well. Good catch. I look forward to seeing your numbers for this one.

Rusty Mower

Row
High Pull
Clean
Snatch

The mower won't start and you have to pull it harder and harder. Give it 5 pulls with a bent over row, then 5 more with a high pull, then 5 more cleans and finish with 5 snatches. Then switch to the other hand and do the same. Next do 4 with each hand, then 3 and keep going on down to 1 of each for each arm. Use a 36 lb KB to start.

Revolution

Pushups
Squat Clean/Thruster
Power Clean/Push Jerk

Use a pair of 25 lb DB's to start and knock out 5 pushups with your hands on the DB handles. Then stand with the bells to a squat clean and come up to a thruster 5 times making sure you squat down deeply enough to touch at least on end of the DB to the floor. Finish with 5 power clean and push jerks. Start over with 4 of each then 3, 2, 1.

The 300

25 Pullups
50 Tire Jumps
50 Ring Pushups
50 ABMat Situps
50 KB Swings (44) 25/25
50 Ball Slams (25)
25 Pullups

One time through as fast as you can.

Three of us, Jack, Grant and me did the Rusty Mower first while Lance Alex and Nick did Revolution first. We Rusty Mowers did 1 of each 5 times, then 4 times and so on. That was very slow and inefficient. Lance, Alex and Nick did 5 rows, 5 high pulls, 5 cleans and 5 snatches and their times reveal how much more efficient that method is. That will be how we do this one from now on.

Here are our times for Rusty Mower, Revolution and The 300.

Samantha

Grant 7:54
Nick 12:06

Nick is stronger than Grant and me and can press a 72 lb KB whereas Grant and I cannot. Nick's slower time with Samantha is based mostly on a degradation of muscular stamina during the pressing movements and a rapid decline in pullup strength. As it always does, CrossFit ferrets out weaknesses and rubs your nose in them.

Thursday November 29, 2007

Lance was sick on the 27th so he did his pullup challenge today and got 33...well above his hoped for goal of 25.

Samantha (95 lb barbell)

Press 7-5-3
Push Press 7-5-3
Push Jerk 7-5-03
Pullups 21-15-9

This was created with 85 lbs in mind but Stuart suggested we do 95. Since Alex and I did Tabata Push Presses yesterday I wasn't too keen on that much weight...but I went along. Glad I did. I did 2:58 last time I did this and that was with 85 pounds. Clean the barbell and press it 7 times, then push press it 7 times and then finally push jerk it 7 times. Then go do 21 pullups. Next press it 5, push press it 5 and push jerk it for 5 and then do 15 pullups. Finally do the same thing with 3 reps each time and 9 pullups. A quick one but very potent. Kind of like Fran but without all the leg work.

Eugene 2:48
Stuart 3:00
Lance 5:41
Alex 6:27

Then we did some ab work which consited of:

Leg circles once each direction and 2 K2E repeated 5 times.
25 ab mat situps

For the first time I did my back squats with the Rippetoe powerlifter low hold on my back and with my very first set of 12 my hamstrings revolted and were not at all interested in continuing with the workout. DRAMATIC difference in the recruitment of the rear wheel drive muscles. This is a great complement to the Heavily Armed workout and might make a good Epic workout as a combination.

I should post a video of Toni doing muscle ups in the harness. Amazing to see. She's OK when her shoulders are fresh but 30 muscle ups, even with the harness, is not something her shoulders are used to. The fight she has to get through the transition and up over the rings and then the struggle to lock out the dip is mesmerizing. She is devoted to each and every rep as if that rep alone defined her development. She is working to become a fire fighter and is one of the hardest workers in our gym.

Micha post Root Canal in an astonishing 14:50. He finds it difficult to do the CF workouts in the Bally's where he usually trains because of the commute time between stations and the lack of cooperation of people who don't hug the walls when someone needs to race by to get to his next piece of equipment.

(Surprising the kids with a Disneyland trip on Monday and this is probably the last workout I will make up before I leave on the trip. Bob did it with me today and thought of the name).

For some reason Jason felt compelled to do Grace today so we loaded up a bar and he did it in a very respectable 3:50 and had his friend Charles do it with him and he finished in 5:55. This was Charles' second day in the gym. Then Cris and I did it but we had to use lighter weights. Cris used 95 and I did 115. Cris got 3:39 and I did 4:46. Not my strong suit.

Cris (Cristobal) runs like a freaking gazelle on crack. Man he is fast. No way I could keep up with that guy. His Air Force buddies warned me that he was fast and that he just runs for fun. Smoked us all.

Set up a pair of 36's, 44's, 52's and a 72 in a line. Did 6 presses with the 36's, moved to the 44's and did 6 push presses, then to the 52's for 6 push jerks. Then finished it off with 3 single push jerks with the 72.

After that we did a variety of swings, flips, and release moves with the kettlebells and then when that was done did 25 snatches each arm with 52's or 44's.

Abs next with some wipers, pull overs, 360 leg circles, knee ups and the like. Great workout.

Wednesday October 17, 2007

Four new folks showed up today - Toni, Shirley, Matt and Anastacia and I took them through some basic KB movements and even had them flipping the bells and doing snatches. While we did that Jack, Stuart and Dustin did some ME work with squats, deadlifts and the press. Getting busy all of a sudden.

Sweater of Discomfort (Backwards)

As written it is 500 row 50 push press and then downhill with both from there. Today we went 100 row and 50 push press and went up with one and down with the other. Slightly faster times this way. The push press was with 75 lbs.

100 row 50 push press
200 row 40 push press
300 row 30 push press
400 row 20 push press
500 row 10 push press

Jason (new guy, AF working toward para rescue qualification) beat me with 14:21 and I did 14:43 although that time is not completely accurate. We had 4 people and 2 rowing machines and we were getting in each other's way a lot. We tried to subtract our stand around time but that was not particularly consistent. Alyse went 12 something and was push pressing a pair of 25 lb dumbbells. Bob and Jack were both 16 something.

Then we drug out some KB's. I used 53's and Jason, Jack and Bob used 44's. We did:

2-hand press x 6
Alt. press x 6
Clean and Jerk x 6
Push Jerk x 10, 8, 6
Snatch x 10, 8, 6

72, 61, 52, 44 in a line. Clean and Jerk with each hand for 2, 4, 6, 8 reps.

Hypoxia

Eugene 14:43

Stuart whooped me. Unusual in that this was a Metcon and I'm usually better at those. There was just enough of a strength requirement here for him to outdo me there since he is stronger and he is without a doubt getting MUCH better at his cardio.

Jack did Day of Tomorrow:

5 Back Squats 165
10 Ring Dips
5 Burpee Pullups
10 2-Hand Swings 61
5 Clean and Jerk 115

Jack has great squat form and moves the 165 comfortably. Struggles with the ring dips and clean and jerk. No problems with the burpee pullups or swings. Big cardio improvement already.

Uber cop. Anyway we did the following workout the other day and by some weird alignment of the stars I beat him. Glen is certain this is an anomoly and that when we do it again he will beat me.
