Tuesday 24 Feb Front Squat Triples

5 sets of 3 Reps Front Squat

Recurring Fault in my Front Squat is insufficient knee turn out and a tendency for weight to shift off my heels(I did my best to keep these at bay this morning).

As the weight gets heavier I also drop my elbows as seen by upper back rounding - depth deteriorates as well.

Monday 23 Feb 08 - Joshie inspired

3 rounds for time of:

10 L sit Pull Ups
10 RH KB Snatch
10 Lsit Pull Ups
10 LH KB Snatch

18minutes or so.

Can't wait to do my next Level 2 - for Free!

So the bad news for me is that I failed to sucessfully complete my Crossfit Level Two course today.



But the positives outweigh the negatives many times over, for instance the two days of exposure and advice from outstanding coaches was worth every cent and second.

And I get to participate again for free on another Level Two in about 6 months.

Life could be much worse than chasing the dream of being a good coach, after all you only really appreciate that which you have to work for.

Im off to bed - Oh and I PBed Nate at 6 rounds and 2 MU.

Thursday 5/2/09 Deadlift Triples

This morning I busted out the following

Bottom to Bottom Tabata Squats Best 16 Worst 8

3 x 10 reps Assisted HSPU sling and orange band

Deadlift Triples @ 70,80,90,100,110,120,130,140(didn't quite finish last rep),140 on the video.

Was playing with non hook grip until the first set at 140 where it was opening up my hands so used hook grip on the video set.

Back Squats 4/2/09

The latest of my Back Squat WODs - from this morning, I was playing with the Dynamax as a depth indicator as I had concerns that I was going deeper than my flexibility allowed causing butt wink.

In third or fourth set I changed the ball for a lower target as I don't think Dynamax was giving me the depth I wanted (barely broke parallel). That is why I dont like Dynamax for squat depth indicators especially for anyone with shorter lower leg than me.

I would like to think these are better squats than those previously posted (5 Dec 08). That said they are lighter but my goal will be to get back to 100kg for 5 but with this form.

Please comment

Various Squats

This video shows my front,back and ohead squat.

I am focused on maintainence of Lumbar spine while squatting at the moment so the front and OHS back positions I achieve in this vid are my goal for my back squat also.

I am keen for feedback whenever it is offered Matt, Kam, Fi, Scott, Berry, please chime in if you have the time.
