 (Open 13.3 Results)

Rings

Lots of PR’s today! A bunch of you have PR’d with more wall balls, DU’s and MU’s than last year. For those who haven’t done 13.3 yet you have tomorrow at 6pm or Saturday at 11am.

In the heated SRCF Open battle between Jeremy and Josh (who were tied at 1 win apiece going into 13.3) it appears that Jeremy is now winning after today’s results. He really wanted to share this with everyone.

Leaderboard

13.3 RX Standards:
– Wall ball: No butt balls, you must squat to depth. You must hit the line clearly (no grey; either green line for women or black for men). Any wall balls that miss touching the wall but go above the line are no reps. 
– Double-unders must be successful, snags and attempts do not count. 
– Muscle-ups must begin with a fully extended arm and finish with a fully extended arm locked out. 

Special tiebreak method:
Attention judges: For Open competitors only, at the end of each set of exercises, time should be marked. Specifically, as soon as the 150th Wall ball is complete, time should be marked. As soon as the 90th Double-under is complete, time should be marked.

Attention: 

We intended to program the Maltz Challenge for tomorrow as the WOD but we will push this out to a sunny day next week due to a) cold, wet snowy conditions and b) destroyed quads from 13.3. Stay tuned! We WILL do this!

The Kipping Muscle-Up” with Laurie GalassiCrossFit Journal video [wmv] [mov] [HD mov]

Yesterday this video was posted on the CrossFit Journal and seeing the progression using the kip-up with the rings was perfect timing for today as I had programmed muscle-up practice for the week. Having never tried a kip-up as part of the MU progression on the rings (I have seen the kip-up for teaching kipping pull-ups), we were anxious to try this today.

Verdict: It works very well. Two people today got their 1st (and then 2nd, 3rd etc.) muscle-ups after practicing kip-ups supine on the floor, then kip-ups from a supine position under a pair of rings on the cage to a dip position, then finally over to the rings. Congrats to Justin and Evan for achieving a big milestone with their first muscle-ups! Both of them already had a ring dip, strict pull-up and could hold a dip support and lockout position on the rings. They also have been practicing MU progressions from the floor and kipping swings on the rings (both false and no false grip). Today the pieces all fell together for them.

Several others (guys AND girls) who already had muscle-ups also improved their kip, hip extension and turnover after drilling this several times and got “over” quicker. Keep practicing this and don’t abandon the floor drill with the kip-up. Use it as movement prep for muscle-ups to get the neuromuscular system primed and ready, and improve your proprioception and kinesthetic awareness.

If all else fails “just pop up”!

The King of Lifts” by Donny ShankleCrossFit Journal article [pdf]

CF Games:

Cheaters never win. (Unless you’re Lance Armstrong, Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire…) Glad to see CFHQ held true on their promise before the Open to make an example of anyone or any affiliate found cheating. No Rep to the supposed worldwide “winner” of 13.2 and the affiliate he belongs to! Turns out they are both just big losers.

Golden Workout Rejected” games.crossfit.com

I put this on our Facebook page but I wanted to say it again. Thank you to all of you for putting forth not only the hard ass effort each Open WOD, but also doing your best to personally uphold the standards as they are written and make it easier for those of us judging. Keep training hard and training right!

Notes:

This is one of our rules too. I love how CrossFit One World deals with it.


Remember: No dropping empty barbells, no empty bars on the pavement, no dropping kettlebells, and no dropping bars loaded only with 10# bumper plates on them from overhead. These are some of our rules that guarantee the quickest way to a whole lot of burpees. Take care of the equipment so it can take care of you!

Squat, then throw:

Clean

Wall Balls

In the bottom of the clean or front squat, focus on staying tight with an upright torso, knees out and tight lumbar curve/glutes. Do not allow yourself to bottom out (too deep of a squat with a relaxed position where the hips tucks under) or tip forward with the bar. Keep those elbows up and the hands on the outside of the shoulders to not allow your upper back/thoracic spine to round. 

Notes:

Last chance to make-up Open WOD 13.2 is tomorrow at 11am for those competing.

Don’t forget to post your Open score for those who went on Thursday or Friday night. I’ll post the updated results tomorrow but if you know your score, please login and submit it so I can validate. I do not want to chase people down every weekend to get their score in on time.

The community around each Open WOD has been awesome, and tonight Spencer even brought his own cheering section. I think I would do better if I had this every single time I work out.

I waited all day for this?! Simple, basic, and lightweight but nonetheless evil. Here is the 411 for tomorrow’s burner of a WOD. Please read and be prepared for Open WOD 13.2.

BTW I programmed moderate load deadlifts today thinking we would either see squatting or a power clean with some sort of overhead work and either box jump or double-unders. Go figure that the one I get wrong happens to be the deadlift.

General Open Guidelines:

  1. Each Thursday we will run the Open WOD for all classes.
  2. All registered and competing Open athletes will go first with a judge. Those not registered will be asked to help judge then after will go in the second wave to complete their WOD (without a judge).
  3. Please be on time to class (no different than usual) and ready to rock! The Open is a logistical challenge. The more people are prepared, helpful and attentive the smoother it will all go.
  4. Every Wednesday night I will post standards, rules and tips for the Thursday WOD.
  5. Friday make-up at 6pm and Saturday make-up at 11am for those who registered to compete in the Open but could not do it on Thursday. Please let us know in advance. If you have a special circumstance for a different day you must ask. We will do our best. No make-ups for non-competing people.
  6. Coaches will complete the Open at times where we can arrange judges. Please respect space and equipment if you come in and a coach is completing their Open WOD.

Open WOD 13.2 Guidelines:

  1. One bar and box per athlete. Judge required for competitors only. Two waves will be run per class.
  2. Scaling:  
    • STO: Start in front rack, clean from ground. A press, push press, push jerk or split jerk may be used, as long as the elbow, shoulder, hips and knees are fully extended, and the bar finishes directly over the body with the feet in line. No rack.
    • DL: Starting at the floor, the barbell is lifted until hips and knees reach full extension with the shoulders behind the bar. The arms must be straight throughout. No sumo DL.
    • BJ: The rep finishes with the hips and knees fully open while in control on top of the box. (No rebound off top!) You may jump or step up or down as long as both feet start on the ground and both feet end on the box in control.
  3. Have fun. Go hard. Cheer for each other. Make a sweat angel.
