When you list a unilateral exercise like DB snatches or cross chops, is the rep count per side, or total? |

It's the total number unless otherwise specified. |

Will someone suggest a sub for Ball Slams that I might perform in my crowded, prissy gym?
How 'bout weighted hanging knees-to-chest?
or
2-handed DB Swings? |

John -
Do downward chops with a ball or dumbbell - same movement, just don't release the implement at the bottom. Basically the reverse of a KB swing. |

Thank you, Greg!
btw, Thank you for the daily programming. I've been a zealot CFer for about 3 years, where I've been beating the heck out of my body and missing WODs only when prevented by a silly, self-induced shoulder injury (ACL, tendonitis or something - it went away after 3 weeks without overhead movement)
Mike Donnelly, my pal, suggested your site. I was an easy sell, already a fan of the CF Message Board posts Robb and you.
My goal is simply to compete with Mike. I'm serious!
And to improve my Oly form and increase strength. I'm in for a few cycles, at least. As you know, this stuff is highly addictive.
I've never received Oly instruction. Just watching videos and reading. I imagine my form is inefficient and inconsistent.
I'm 41, 175lbs, with a diet loosely based on the zone.
Thanks again. |

Clean/Front squats - eventually got it to point where I could squat clean 95# with reasonable form.
OAC/22.5# assist
1x5
2x4
My left side seemed stronger than my right side this time. It brought me to the realization that the degree of my torso from the working arm had a lot to do with the difficulty of the OAC. From now on, I think I need to focus on having my torso twisted in - keep it from getting away from my arm.
CA WOD metcon -
3 rounds for time of:
5 box jumps - waist height (knee height)
10 ball slams - 10% BW (dumbbell downward chops)
10 1-arm DB hang power snatch - 20% BW (16kg KB, about 30%)
3:56
Box jumps were knee height, but the initial jump got me up to almost standing on the chair. I recognize that this took some squats out and made this easier, but I don't really have a waist-high box to jump onto (safely, anyways). Should have done a squat every jump, now that I think about it.
Greg, thanks for this site. |

mu sn - up to 80# (1 failed attempt before getting it)
2pos sn - 70#
a waist high box would have req more engineering work than i had time for this am. got something to 34" - so added a 20# lb vest and called it a day.
7 min, with above, 20# slamball, and 40# db sn. |

Muscle Snatch - up to 95lbs - Sloppy. kept losing focus. For the first time, I began talking to myself, "jump..shrug...land...I wonder what time it is..."
2-pos Snatch - 75lbs for 5 sets - again, trouble focusing.
Metcon-3 rounds:
5 box jumps - about 2in below my navel.
10 downward DB chops, 20lb DB - I must have looked like a raving lunatic to the polite suburban gym crowd.
10 OA HPSnatch, 35lb DB.

Raining cats and dogs here in the Old Pueblo...
Today's CA WOD:
Muscle Snatch (heavy single): 32.5kg, stayed lighter for form sake
2-position snatch floor/hang (65% x 5 sets): 46.5 x 1 set, 44 x 4 sets, felt much snappier with the slightly lightened weight
Metcon, 3 rounds of:
MODIFIED--5 hurdle tuck jumps to inseam height
MODIFIED--10 15# CBs swipes
10 (20% BW) 30# DB hang power snatch
4:13
No high box to jump to so I subbed the hurdle and held back on the height, subbed the swipes for the slamball. Fun little metcon. |

Clarification needed for next time:
When "waist high" is specified, are we talking about belt height on men? |

Dr. G. - I don't know; Where do you wear your belt? Are we talking about young men (thighs) or old men (armpits)? |

Nice Greg, good clarification on the clarification...
Top of the pelvis or narrowest part of the waist (ie. approximately belly button, or what women generally call their waist)?
As I like my pants to stay on, and I don't have a belly to put my belt over quite yet, I'd say I mean somewhere between the two... |

Weight in kg:
Muscle snatch: 20x5-40x3-50-55-60
2-position snatch – floor, hang: 50kg x 5 sets
3 rounds for time of:
5 box jumps 40"
10 ball slams 10kg med ball
10 1-arm DB hang power snatch - 20kg
Time: 5.06
Would have been quicker but missed a few of the jumps. Used the outside bin which happens to be about waist height.
Cheers, Pete

Pete,
How did you miss a few jumps @ 40" w/o bleeding all over the place? Last time I tried jumping 42" in a circuit it ended badly in the 4th round and any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

Muscle snatch to 115
2 position to 70
waist high is a huge freakin' leap. Huge! I gotta reconnoiter some better options tomorrow. Only home option is my workbench, but I'd scalp myself on the basement ceiling. Worked on flexibility instead. Will double metcons tomorrow. |

arm swings - 10
split squat - 5L/R
lateral squat - 5L/R
rotational squat - 5 L/R
wall slide 6
x-band walks - 6L/R
big kids muscle up work ~5 minutes - false grip hang, transition, rings dips - 4, 5
Burgener Warmup - 45 x 1
muscle snatch - 45 x 3, 95 x 1, 115 x 1, 135 x 1
(full rest 45 seconds)

(full rest 30 seconds)
3 rounds for time of:
5 box jumps - waist height
10 ball slams - 10% BW -20# Dynamax
10 1-arm DB hang power snatch - 20% BW -35#DB (highest they go so closer to 18%BW)
Total time: 4:09 (1:17.46, 1:26.72, 1:25.39)
Notes:
-Mobility drills from Mike Boyle
-CA WOD 11DEC07
-Muscle Snatch - felt fine
-2 position snatch - Focused on getting under
-metcon - Good and short - Trying to find a way to get the box up to waist height was interesting and wobbled slightly but doable. Ball slams with a Dynamax ball was very irritating as it kept shooting in all different directions on the bounce. The "Crossfit gym" only has up to 35# DB's so it was either 35# DB or the 24KG KB's and I didn't really want to screw around with KB snatches today. |
