140120

Posted on by

Many people see James Tatum and think he’s simply the best 77kg lifter in America. I mean he just Snatched within 4kg of DOUBLE bodyweight…

I, however, see more than that. I see a man I can learn from. A man that has – despite his youth – figured out some things that perhaps I haven’t. I see a scholar, who I can perhaps turn to in times when I need an answer to a question that no one else would have the answer to.

Thank you, James. Your wisdom has helped me more than you’ll probably ever know.

WOD 140120:

BBG

7X1 Mid-Hang Snatches @ 80% – rest 60-90 sec. (Do not go above 80%)

Strength/Skill

1a) 3X5 less C2B Pull-ups than each set from 140106 – rest 60 sec.
1b) 3X20 (steps) Front Rack Walking Lunges (use axle bar if possible) @ 80% of heaviest load from 140113 – continuous stride (no stopping to gather feet), rest 60 sec.

Conditioning

8 minute AMRAP of:

50 Double-Unders
20 UB Wall Balls 20/14#
10 UB TTB

*The goal is to move calmly through the entire 8:00 without significant deviation of pace, and with smooth UB reps. If you can maintain a quick pace throughout all rounds then start fast. If not, choose a pace that will allow for minimum variance in intervals.

  1. BBG- done at 215 w/ straps
    SS
    1a) Still learning to butterfly these. Did 3xME: 12, 16, 8
    1b) 140
    Cond- 3+50, only broke on 3rd set of DU

  2. BBG
    195# (w/ straps) – no misses, felt smooth

    Strength
    1a) 8 – 10 – 10 (glide kip)
    1b) 145#

    Conditioning
    3 + 25 – Double unders surprisingly crappy after the first set

  4. BBG:
    1.) 200

    Strength:
    1a.) 16
    1b.) 145

    Conditioning :
    4 rds + 5 WB’s ~ DU’s unusually sloppy

    • Just realized that I did the conditioning backwards ~ went TTB, WB, DU ~ so score was 4 rounds of that + 10 TTB + 5 WB

  5. BBG:
    1.) 115#

    Strength:
    1a.) 10, 10, 10
    1b.) 115

    Conditioning :
    Completed 1 round. Stopped to perform skill work in double unders (very weak area). Takes me forever whenever there are double unders in the WOD.

  6. M/37/210
    BBG 155
    Did it from max hang should have done it from max snatch?
    Strength pull ups 5-7 used 95 for walk lunge. Really tried to focus on hollow position on pull ups
    Condo 3 rounds with 25 double unders. Stayed Smooth and controlled

  7. BBG: All at 175

    C2B PU’s – All sets were in the 5-10 range. I did 6 sets because these are my biggest weakness and felt I needed the work
    Lunges: 185 on my back.

    Cond: 3 Rounds + 25 DU’s. All UB except one set of DU’s. I have about 30-40 yards between my PU bar and where I do wallballs so rested on my walk. Everything was slow and controlled with no breaks during work. Felt good.

  8. BBG: 87.5kg very easy

    Strength:

    lunges 135
    con
