WOD 111125:
Strength
1) 12 minutes to establish a 1RM Bench Press.
2a) 5XME UB Ring Dips – rest 60 sec.
2b) 5X5 Tempo Deadlifts (see notes) – heavier than last week but still PERFECT, use straps, rest 60 sec.
Notes: Tempo should be 3 counts from floor to knees, explode past knees driving hips to bar, 3 counts back to floor. Concentrate on keeping legs loaded NOT back. Maintain vertical shin.
3a) 5X5 Weighted STRICT Pullups – heaviest possible, rest 60 sec.
3b) 5X5 BB (clean grip) Bent Over Rows – heaviest possible, rest 60 sec.
Notes: Hold exact same position as when the barbell passes the knees on the clean. Do not use so much weight that you have to load the hips (i.e. “cheat”) to finish the lift.
Conditioning
Get stronger.
Same fucking guy. These videos are 4 months apart. How many Pullups do you have? Do you have a 4RM Deadlift of 850#?
Kipping and steroids are a killer combo.
So are short torsos and long arms – you think he wouldn’t be crazy strong without anabolics? Point is; he trains heavy as fuck and he trains gymnastics. Almost like I recognize that concept from somewhere. Brandon, care to help…
I don’t know why you’re getting so upset…kipping and steroids are the shit. I swear to God I’m being serious right now. Probably.
I don’t care how much Russian you yell at me, I’m not doin’ the juice!
Got into the local meathead gym in Norwich, NY, all fat bars, one crap pull up station and signs posted up saying no chalk allowed!!! Man oh man…
1) worked to 305#
2a) 20, 16, 16, 15, 13 (all super strict dips at a dip station)
2b) 295, 325, 345, 355, 365
(This almost knocked me out. The think bar crushed my grip, and the focus on being perfect made these more intense than any metcon!)
3a) 20×5, 15×5, 15×5, 20×4, 15×5
(These were so hard for some reason. I think the dips left my arms pretty crushed. Also, pretty sure I was pulling an extra 15# of meat and pie from yesterday!)
3b) 155, 185, 225, 225, 215
Thick bar, not think bar…
1a) 5XME UB Ring Dips – rest 60 sec.

2a) 20, 12, 13,12, 12
2b) 315 x 4, 365 x 1
3a) 20kg, 24kg x 4
3b) skipped
1) 285# (Left shoulder is tweaked from something, so this was awkward if I was in the wrong position. First attempt stalled on my chest, and I didn’t have anyone to spot me. Discovered that dumping weights on bench press is like a slow, painful train wreck…)
2a) 28, 18, 17, 12, 14
2b) 345# x 4, 365# x 1 (definitely easier w/ straps, but my back still loaded on 365#)
3a) about 50# vest (should have gone heavier, probably)
3b) 185# x 5 (ditto)

Conditioning
Pick a met-con from CFK’s arsenal. No met-con for me today. I had the little one with me at the gym and it was getting late. Also, tired as balls from getting up the night before at work.
