In teams of two, with only one person working at a time, complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 30 minutes of:
1000 Meter Row
100 Kettlebell Deadlifts
100 Meter Kettlebell Farmer’s Carry
100 Kettlebell Walking Lunges
100 Kettlebell Push Presses
18.5. 70 reps. I was hoping to get to the c2b, but couldn’t quite get there. I’m pleased with the effort though. I’ve made a lot of progress on c2b over the last several months. Thrusters were all unbroken.
B. 15 min row 3441 m
C. Plank and hollow rock holds
D. March madness
For the next couple of months I’ll be modifying the exercises to include heavier weights and less reps. Did 65lb db. 500m row, 30 DL, 75M farmer’s carry, 15 reps DBP press. I was back on the rowet for 50 M when the timer buzzed out. Finished off with 5 reps of bilateral dbp press, then 5 individual arm reps each arm for good measure
18.5 | Rx: 99 reps — I was shooting for 120, so I was pretty disappointed with this. My game plan was the following:
Thruster | C2B
3 UB UB
6 UB UB
9 UB UB
12 UB UB
15 8/7 UB — got real this round
18 9/9 9/9 — when keeping it real goes wrong
By the time I got to the 6th round of 18s my fuel gauge read a big fat E. Better luck next time, and props to everyone for finishing this Open season!
Still an amazing score! And even better: no injuries!! Well done my friend and congrats for finishing the Open season yourself!
Amazing man, good job, yep, 15 is when it turned real. Good job. Ready to get back to training on Monday.
Thats a great score brother! Way to crush the Open this year!!!
Still a great score for sure! Use your game plan and actuality to better prepare for this wod in the future or other similar programmed WODs. Let’s all get better for the 2019 Open!
Great score! You’ve come a long way since your injury. Your hard work daily and dedication to getting back has payed off and is an inspiration brother.
Great work man!
Great job Teddy! I know that it’s a bummer not to finish where you wanted but you did it and you didn’t hurt your knee!
“when keeping it real goes wrong” awesome chapelle show reference ? it was an ambitious plan brother but you still did a really great job ??
Had to make up for missing yesterday 18.5 but pull-ups not C2b. I like my head intact not in the light fixture in the ceiling.. was just doing it, no rush. Broke my husbands no chalk rule at the rd of 9s after sliding off the bar Made it to 12s +3. After about 1.5 min trying to find where he hid the chalk. First time back to Kipping pull-ups! Then today’s by myself just rested as needed 1k row 100 KB DL 44# 100m farmers walk 44# kB 100 fwd lunge 15# dB 100push press 20# DB 1 rd+1k+100DL+100m… Read more »
No chalk rule? That’s funny. Way to be persistent and get through it! 🙂
The no chalk rule is a good one! I’m a last resort kind of guy too when it comes to chalk. Solid work!!
18.5 108 reps (finished 18 thrusters) Sort of hit my goal. I wanted to complete 18 thrusters and get over 110 reps. For some reason I thought finishing the 18 thrusters was 112 reps. I don’t know where that math came from ?! I’m happy I got through the 18 thrusters but I think I had more push at the end to get a few more reps. Used a lifting hook to keep my right hand on the bar For the pull ups. It works pretty good but it’s kind of an awkward pull so hit them in singles with… Read more »
Nice work, over 100 reps is totally impressive.
I love it Chad, you’re the absolute man!!!
Congrats on a great performance! You destroyed it. I feel ya on the regular scheduled programming, I feel the same way
Really good score man! Especially with a lifting hook and singles!
Triple digits!!!
18.5 – First Attempt – 82 Reps Did rounds 3,6,9,12 of thrusters UB, then 9/6 on round of 15. Did all C2B’s in singles with a few no reps in the round of 15. I will be redoing this tomorrow as I know I can push harder and faster on the thrusters. I am posting my video in the hopes that I can get some feedback on anything anyone sees that I can tweak or if something isn’t quite right. Unfortunately I don’t have a coach or anyone to assist so I am looking forward to hearing what anyone has… Read more »
Great work Candy! Super solid first attempt! It might have just been the video but it looked like the barbell wasn’t racked on your shoulders. I do the same thing and find it tires out my arms/shoulders quicker. When I got to rd 12, I loosened up, mostly my wrist, and was able to rack it and it helped for the rest of the WO. You’re gonna crush it tmrw!!
Prob not the video. .u are right…I struggle with racking it…I’m not sure why but I feel like my squat slows down when I rack it…but I’ll play with that when I warm up tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to take a look Chad!
See how you feel widening your stance a little bit to get your torso up a little more. When you drive out of the thruster you initiate with your hips which is dropping your elbows and torso which is leading to lower elbows. Widen your stance and drive out leading with your elbows and that might fix that front wrack and save your low back a little bit. Solid work through! Go get em on the redo!!
Thanx Rob…u and Joey said the same thing about the elbows. I definitely didn’t really incorporate stretching and working my front rack position in warm up. .but will be doing that today. I am also thinking about switching to my lifters…used my metcons the first time..because I wasn’t sure about the extra weight on the c2b. But I think they will help with the thrusters and hopefully not be a factor with single c2b.
I used lifters
Several guys in my box used lifters to complete it and the stability favored them; I think every significant correction has been said by the guys candy so my only advice is “chalk the bar instead of your hands”, you won’t waste time rechalking your hands between the c2bs
Through two rounds plus the row
18.5) 102 reps (round of 15 + 12 more thrusters).
– was getting yelled at by the coach to do 12 unbroken thrusters at the end… so I did 🙂
Great job Wes!! I so wish I had someone to yell at me to get moving…really does make a difference. Congrats!
Yeah, that encouragment always helps, great job to get over 100 reps.
Really impressive performance! Way to go man
Atta boy!!!! 🙂 You’re a gym-nasty guy, how’d you do on the C2B?
My C2B butterfly fell apart quickly, so transitioned to a quick kipping. They weren’t too bad. I haven’t trained butterfly C2B in a long time (just go for strict most of the time here at home and save the joints).
Well, this is it A) 18.5: you know the drill. Score 69 reps This was the result of setting myself a good flexible plan and executing it properly; the thrusters were unbroken in the rounds of 3 and 6, then did 6/3 and 6/4/2. All C2Bs were done in singles with only one no rep when I attempted the 10th rep of the round of 12. Legs were all gone after completing those 12 C2Bs, as the jump to the bar took a lot of stamina away but I let everything out to complete those 12 C2Bs thinking I was… Read more »
Awesome work Jorge!! You did great throughout this Open! Especially since it was your first one. You definitely learn a lot from experience and where to work on your weaknesses. I hope you do a competition or two over this year for fun and see how it goes! Let’s keep getting fitter for the 2019 Open!
thanks wes, but it’s actually my second open, first year going full Rx though
Awesome Jorge…I knew you could do this! Killer attitude with killer work equals SUCCESS! Congrats
Hey, way to get after it and push yourself. All you will do is get better. Great job.
Congrats for going above and beyond your goal on this one man that’s awesome! Well done
HUGE victory on the C2B!!! Way to go!!
Did 18.5 today:
126 reps Rx, thought I was going to get to the thrusters on 21, but 100 lbs. got heavy quick. Did up to round 12 unbroken for both. Felt good but just could not catch my breath at all. Proud of getting through 18 of each though. Good luck to all who have yet to try it.
Good work! That set of 15 *crushed* me.
that was when I broke them up 8/7, then 9/9, I should have just started and got whatever, I rested to long, but the 15 was when shit got real.
mike, that’s a super powerful result, you totally crushed it
thanks man, I wanted to do well on this one, and it hurt, but i am glad with the 18 done.
Awesome work!! Huge score.
Thanks Wes, wanted to get through at least 18 on this one and hit that mark. I was happy to do it.
