140221

Brief de-load on the squats to set up for our test next week, and subsequent short volume de-load for the Open.

Side note: get all your shopping done this weekend, hang out with friends, maybe enjoy an adult beverage or take a bath – you all know you’re going to be completely useless next weekend between the leaderboarding, and going back and forth about repeating. Live your lives for a few more days, kids – in a fortnight you’ll be useless.


Finally putting up the pics of the amazing camps in Melbourne. Apparently leaving your iPad on an airplane makes it harder to have access to pictures that are on it.

I want to thank Josh and Ren, from CF Collingwood, for being the most amazing hosts in history, and making us feel welcome in their wonderful city.

  1. Rudy, not sure if you’re actually wanting us to compete in what CrossFit.com posted or not, but it seems like you are. So with all respect, you know those videos are due the day after they posted the workout? The video for this one was due at 5 p.m. Pacific on Tuesday to be eligible.

    • Oh. And since I may have your attention lol. There’s a really cool framework (if you want to call it that) called DISQUS that you can add to this website that allows members to sign up with Facebook (or whatever social media network) and then allows other members to subscribe to each other and shows a history of posts. Invictus’ page uses it and I thought it made it pretty simple to look at other peoples progress, so long as they regularly post in the comments. Could be a useful tool for you as well.

  2. Testing BS next week? Lulz. most everyone has been struggling hitting percentages of training maxes, let alone 1rm.

  3. Anyone sift through all of .com’s scores yet? I think the best I’ve seen is Briggs’ 14+2.

  9. BBG
    1a) Just worked to a heavy single (255#) to test elbow.
    1b) Skipped

    Strength

    1b) Did dumbbell bench 4×10 55# (heaviest I had)

    Cond
    9rds even (step down box jumps are for tall people like Ant)

  19. BBG: tough and go power cleans (no push jerks) up to 255 x 5. Big tear in my palm right now.

    Back squats: 4×5 at 315 pretty easily today.

    Bench : 225,235,245,245

    Cond: 9 rounds plus 3 box jumps. Filmed it so I didn’t have to count but wish I counted. I could have got to ten if I knew I was close.

  20. 3+6—-well that was a shit show, I guess it’s what happens when it’s over 90% your 1RM. Glad I’m goin to the outlaw camp, hoping to fix these Power issues

  21. BBG:
    1a) 260# (Felt good, so I worked to a 1RM power clean + push jerk. Hit 310#)
    1b) 245# for all

    Strength:
    1a) did not do… knee is still a little iffy…
    1b)270#

    Conditioning:
    10 + 1 clean (2 cleans short of 11 rounds… I found a comfortable pace and stuck with it.)

  22. Bench – 265
    Only got around to doing today’s bench. But, I did get a 605# deadlift. Never really tried a max on it but found it today. Rudy, you’re right, all the pulls I need come from cleans and snatch. “Video or it didn’t happen” right?

  23. BBG
    1A.) only up to 185#, -10#
    1B.) 135#, felt weird today. Stayed light

    Strength
    1a.) @295#
    1b.) 240#, +15#

    Cond
    8 + 1. 65 reps

    Missed the box going for a second Box Jump at the end. That was fun

  24. BBG:
    1a) 185 (last 3 jerks were split)
    1b) 185

    Strength:
    1) 250
    2) BP 4×10: 150×2, 155×2

    Conditioning:
    3+6
    -225 is 90% of my 1rm. Yes, I probably should have used 185 but my ego was being an ass hole.

  25. M/20/185
    BBG
    1a) 230 hit 2 at 245 but stopped because of shoulder
    1b) 210 I think
    Strength:
    1) off 415 hamstrings and ankles a little tight today but happy we get to test squat this week I’ve enjoyed this cycle
    2) 215 I think shoulders sore
    Conditioning
    7+6

  26. HBBS: 320
    Bench: 185/205/225/235(10lb pr)
