Worked with my coach to find appropriate opening weights for the American Championships coming up on Saturday November 1st. Hit 78kg in the snatch, and just missed at 80 and 81kg, so I am going to open at 70-72 depending on how 65 feels in the warmup. Hit 105 in the c&j and missed badly at 110 (PR is 113). Will start at 100-102 depending on how 90 feels in the warmup. I feel a LOT better about the upcoming comp now that I've hit some decent numbers in a simulated comp like today. The key will be to do the best I can and not worry too much about what anyone else is doing while still being aware of what they are doing in case I need to up a lift by 1kg to win... |

Tomorrow will be a complete rest day, Friday a travel day, and then competing from 3-5pm on Saturday. |
Re: The Shed 'O Pain
Thursday October 30, 2014
Walked one mile. My stride felt longer and looser than it has in quite a while, actually since I hurt my back on July 8th. Had so much energy I felt like running. But, then I quickly flashed back to yesterday's pullup debacle and recalled that I do in fact have a competition on Saturday and all this energy is the result of tapering after 6 brutal weeks of focused training, so I didn't run. I came back inside and sat down. Am actually twitching right now. Need to do some meditation and visualize some good lifts and anticipate the happiness (relief) I'll feel after the competition. Travel day tomorrow and I'm not taking my computer so my next post will likely be sunday night or Monday morning. |

American Masters Championship Trip Report
182kg total wins gold medal in 105+ category for 50-54 age group at 2014 American Masters Championship Got to talk to and lift with legend Tim Guarino. He is so fast he makes a cobra look like a three-toed sloth. He won the 105 category. Friday October 31, 2014 I should have known better than to fly through Atlanta on a Friday.... 'nuff said. Saturday November 1, 2014 Snatch 70, 74, 78 Was ahead by 3kg after the snatch, which was a surprise. The 78 felt so solid I think I could have gone 72, 76, 80, but I was so concerned with winning and didn't want to be too far behind after the snatch and the most serious contender has snatched more than me before. So, I wanted to be sure I didn't have to make up too much ground in the C&J. C&J 100, 104 (winning lift), 114 (miss, PR attempt) I had it won after the 104 so I went for a PR at 114. I cleaned it and had a real good poke at the jerk, even locked out my right arm, but then my left arm collapsed in a pretty spectacular miss. Sunday November 2, 2014 An uneventful trip home. I had just read John Grisham's new book Gray Mountain, which is about mountain top strip mining in Appalachia and on the flight back I witnessed several strip mining sites from the air and they are just as appalling as they are described in the book. |

@Tim, that sounds like 48 minutes in one of the inner rings of hell....
Wednesday November 5, 2014 Walked 1.5 miles Rowed 1k Prowler Push Pyramid No words can describe how horrible and wonderful and painful and fulfilling this was... Start with an empty prowler and a pile of 45# plates at point A. Push the prowler to point B (which was 30 yards of blacktop away) Walk back to point A. Pick up a 45# pound plate and farmer carry it to prowler. Push prowler to point A then back to point B. walk back to point A. Pick up another 45# pound plate and farmer carry it to prowler. Rinse and repeat until you have the whole pile of 45# pound plates on prowler (which today was luckily only 4 plates) Rinse and repeat unloading the prowler. Stop to hurl and spit and curse as needed After the prowler pyrmiad, while putting it all away, the class doing the WOD in the box was doing their CrossFit total. A couple of 20 somethings were pretty impressed with their 300# deadlift and for some inexplicable reason were disrespecting one of my forty-something friends who had just deadlifted 405#. He was, understandably, pretty pleased with himself. I know, it makes no sense why they'd disrespect someone twenty years older who just deadlifted 100 pounds more than they did. As I walked by I decided to support my friend so we went back and forth doing 405# deadlifts for a while. So these were "cold bar" deadlifts for me. At some point the 20 somethings felt shame and skulked away and I felt better for my friend. Snatch Practice 5x75 5x95 5x125 |
Re: The Shed 'O Pain
Thursday November 7, 2014
10 TGUs on each side with a 20# KB. On one of these, every vertebrae in my back popped in a rippling rifle shot progression. After the initial shock it felt great. Rowing Research Rowing For Distance versus Rowing For Calories Many people have asked me about strategies for rowing for time vs. rowing for calories. My research discovered that the Concept2, which was initially known as an ergometer ("Erg"), doesn't actually measure distance but instead measures force applied (e.g., ergs). It computes distance from the ergs. After poking around I found the erg equation. The erg equation includes a quadratic term. The distance equation is a second derivative of the erg equation and thus is linear. Therefore, as you speed up, the rate at which calories are counted increases exponentially while the distance covered increases linearly. Here's some data points from yesterday's experiment I rowed 1 minute at each of the following speeds, and recorded the average watts, distance, calories, and calories per her. As you can see, the calories increase exponentially and the distance increases linearly, with the big inflection point in the exponential curve being around 1:50/500. time/500 watts distance calories cal/hour 4:00 25 125 6 387 3:40 32 135 6 410 3:20 43 149 7 447 3:00 59 159 8 480 2:40 83 185 9 582 2:20 120 210 11 713 2:00 191 249 15 956 1:40 320 291 23 1339 So what does all that mean? It means, if you're rowing for distance, going a little faster gets you to the finish line a little faster. If you're rowing for calories, going a little faster gets you to the finish line a LOT faster, especially if you can go faster than 1:50/500m.

Two hours of supervised snatch drills with Coach Dan Bell at RCW. Since we have 51 weeks until the next meaningful meet, we are breaking it down to the basics and starting over to try to do it right. About an hour of yesterday's practice involved moving an empty bar from about 2 inches up and down into the power position. Another half hour involved moving the empty bar from the top of the knee caps to the power position. My glutes and hammies are screaming today. Who knew that the lower body was used in Oly Lifting.... |
