In kg:
Snatch: 20x5; 40x3; 50x1; 55x1; 60x1; 65x1; 67.5x1x3
Clean and Jerk: 67.5x1; 75x1; 80x1; 85x1; 90x1x3
Too many reps warming up the snatch. Left the front squats out having done back squats yesterday. Game of 5 a side football later and a much needed rest day tommorow. |

What rest day?!? Oops!!!
Definitely noticed a lack of "juice" in the heavy lifting today, should not have done the tuck jumps yesterday.
Snatch (90% x 1 x 3): 67.5kg x 1 x 3, pressed out the last one something fierce, even though it was ugly I was proud of saving it
Clean & Jerk (90% x 1 x 3): 86.5 x 1 x 3
Front Squat (90% x 2 x 2): 111.5 x 2 x 2, realized that yesterday I only did 106.5kg x 2 x 2 due to using the 15kg bar, will fix training log to reflect that mistake (maybe not a mistake considering the back-to-back 90% workouts!)
Will do metcon later.

Missed the first 2 weeks, unsure where to jump in here.
Also wrist feels jacked up from my max attempts on Friday. Not sure if clapping push-ups is in the cards for me today. |

hi all, i just started the CA WOD from the beginning (using the archives starting in Oct) and i love the programming so far. i am a crossfitter and USAW performance coach (so a little exposure to the o-lifts). i have been getting a lot of heat recently at the gym about going too deep on my squats and putting my knees in danger. i was also told today not to lift overhead because my neck muscles will pull down and compress my vertebrae, pinching my spinal cord. i, of course, disagree, but don't really have any literature to back me up, any ideas? thanks! |

Today's metcon, taken a bit easy:
5 rounds for time of
5 (32%BW) 53# KB swings
5 kipping pullups
5 L, 5 R (25%BW, went lighter than Rx'd) 35# KB cross-chops
5 clapping pushups
5:57
Just right.
Dreid, you might want to turn those questioning what you are doing to present literature (cited studies) that show that what you are doing is bad in the first place, before you worry about having to defend your position.
The USAW should have some good material on the safety of deep squats. As for the second part regarding the overhead lifting, tell them that they're from outer space. I've never heard of such a thing, ever, nor does the biomechanics of what they are describing even make sense in an overhead lift. Or just tell them to piss off.

Dreid -
I'm with Dr G on this one. The onus is on them to convince you, not the other way around. Since they clearly are full of shit, they won't do it, so you can proceed directly to phase two - telling them to piss off. |

Thanks Dr G and Greg, telling them to piss off sounds like just the thing to put me back into my groove after they interrupt my training. Also, thanks a lot for starting up these WODs Greg, i love them so far. |

The Olympic lifts are one of the best exercises you can do for spine health. It builds your core and teaches you how to stabilize the spine properly, no pulling your belly button to your spine here!!!!!! I could go on about squating below paralell(sp?) but i won't.

Dreid--
Tell them "There can be only one. I do only that which is in accordance with the prophesies".
Maybe it will freak them out and they will leave you to do God's work. |

Back on the web after being on the road for the past few weeks
Snatch 107 lb
C&J 157 lb
Front Squat 195 lb
5 rounds of metcon 6:00
Similar sentiments as others - felt much slower today (Saturday felt great; the same weights felt "easy").
yesterday was spent buliding my lifting platform and finishing my kids swingset, so not much of a rest day
See you in a week |
