What kind of jerk? Power (push) jerk or split jerk?
Thanks,
Sam |

Jerk without any qualifier means split jerk here. Power or otherwise will be specified. |

No set prescription for the front squat? "70% x 1"

M/25/178cm/76kg
Sn Bal Heavy Single 90kg, 80kg, 70kg, 60kg
Pwr Cln & Jrk - 83kg x 1 x 10
Fr Sqt - 100kg
This the second time ever that I have done Snatch Balance. It was more of a timing issue than the weight being too heavy. Even the 90kg I was catching it in a pwr position and then riding it down to full squat. |

Greg,
When are wrist wraps appropriate? Will they protect your wrists in the long run or do you think they are nessecary for weightlifting?
Thanks |

Snatch balance - 165, 150, 140, 135
Power clean & jerk - 175 Half reps due to time constraints
Front squat - 180
Metcon - only did half due to time constraints
I haven'e been doing snatch balances very long so they are still kinda weird. Provided I can get to a gym in the next year where they will allow me to drop the bar if I miss I can go for more weight overall!

Greg,
With this cycle being only 3 weeks long, can you tell me how long the next cycle will be? I plan to start this 3 week cycle on 12/14, after my last race of the season (7.5 mi trail run)on 12/12, in order to gain some strength, especially in the Oly lifts. I plan on resuming my CF/CFFB/CFE WODs in the spring to get ready for the '10 race season, but am afraid that the next CA cycle may go too far into what should be my race prep time.
Thanks! |

Greg,
My wife is not down with me sporting one of the "always in pursuit of a better snatch" shirts. I have an old worn-out Crossfit Norcal shirt that states "It's all jerks and snatches." Somehow the latter gets a pass but the former does not.
What's the possibility of a CA edition of the "It's all jerks and snatches" shirt?
Thanks,
Butch |

Josh -
I don't like wrist wraps unless they're absolutely necessary - as in you have an existing injury, or time you've spent to get conditioned has not eliminated pain. If you're new to this kind of loading and volume, you'll likely get some wrist aching for a couple weeks, but you'll get conditioned to it over time - stretch and ice the hands/wrists as often as possible to help/speed the process. |

Greg thanks for the answer! In athletic training we learned this wrist taping to support the wrist just like a wrist wrap and I was curious to start using it. But if I am just gonna get conditioned, it's not necessary at all.
Thanks again, I am getting your book for christmas and I can't wait! |

Greg, todays workout did not say "for time" for the four rounds. When for time is not mentioned, should I assume it is always for time or just get it done, time does not matter. Thanks. Oh, and I thought Castro was a donkey myself.
Snatch Balance Heavy single @ 165lbs. Then 150, 140, and 135 last.
Power C&J Heavy single @ 195lbs. 150lbs x 1 x 10. Did not realize until now that it was not supposed to be a heavy single.
FS 175lbs.
And the other stuff too. Rowed 8000 meters in AM. |
