Leo, strong work. I know you're following Danny's OLY program. Do you plan your additional strength and metcon or just go by feel that day?

I also do OLY + WOD, 2 WOD, etc. I usually try to get Coach's WOD in, but sometimes I'll just add something that seems to fit, like back squats + JT, deadlifts + 30 MUs, whatever. Do you plan in advance?

Leo Soubbotine · 02-06-2008, 04:34 AM

I never plan this in advance. Too much temptation to switch stuff around later.
Plus if everything is set - I'm more likely to break the program and do something different. Making up a finisher every day makes it easy to stick with though.

There are a couple of rules of how I plan the wod's though:
a) No fucking chippers - hate them for they're usually too long and the need to remember all the stuff is annoying. So singlets, couplets and triplets only.
I do not like chippers and most affiliates out there use too many of them too often. A pet peeve of mine.

b) Keep them short. Max rds in 5-10 mins or roughly sub 10 workouts, unless it's a bunch of ab stuff.

c) Don't go too crazy and/or too heavy (a big problem of mine).

Extra strength - I do very little. Couple clean turnovers (my 3rd pull is weak - the bar swings too much for I love hitting it with my thighs, but wasn't able to counter act that enough by arm pull. Already improved a bunch though).
Usually it's just some rack lift offs (OHS, Split position, fs etc).

I love the fact that you are too tall and clink at the top and the bottom.
