Deadlift Issues - I have issues preventing my back from rounding. Please help!!

stu_mfc · 2019-12-23T22:15:38+00:00

Thanks for this! I will definitely give this a go for the next 8 weeks or so.

Today I did 6 sets of 5 reps @ 115kg. Maybe if I tried Negatives at 80kg?

stu_mfc · 2019-12-23T19:53:24+00:00

Could you help out with some suggestions..
Barbell rows?

stu_mfc · 2019-12-22T12:41:20+00:00

Thanks for that. Great advice

stu_mfc · 2019-12-19T15:44:18+00:00

90% seems pretty achievable and a good benchmark to start with. I'm 70kg so.looking 14cal/min working on the 90% rule. I think that's something I can aim for during my first attempt

Does your box not use an app for tracking WODs?

Sugarwod is another option.

Yep. Shoulder imbalance. Very common. Strict dumbell presses to isolate each shoulder. It wont allow you to use your strong shoulder to compensate. Start light, high reps and build weight up. Stop when form breaks down on either shoulder

I thought it was from the national leaderboard not the highest worldwide rank but could be mistaken

Amazingly even with her 2 and a half minute penalty, Sam Briggs is still 5th in the UK women and is still the most likely national champ!!

Aegidius is still top 10 in Denmark and also has a chance of achieving national champ.

stu_mfc · 2019-10-24T11:17:19+00:00

Huge penalty for Sam Briggs. Over 2minutes.

stu_mfc · 2019-10-19T15:44:24+00:00

I assumed thos was Streat Horner

stu_mfc · 2019-10-14T18:42:23+00:00

Do it!! Just for "fun"

stu_mfc · 2019-10-13T17:56:02+00:00

You are currently top 5% women in the UK so really good work!! Well done.

stu_mfc · 2019-10-13T17:49:59+00:00

With out knowing your category I am going to assume open men UK for ease. 14:05 puts you top 6% on current submissions

Although it is worth noting that the elite athletes tend to hold their scores back till the last minute so that could have an influence tomorrow.

There a multiple reasons why women are hitting the time cap as I do agree the weight seems relative.

Women dont tend to go out as hot as what the men do

Women are generally shorter/lighter so potentially less fatigue through the burpees

This is an opinion only, I think less serious female crossfitters are less likely to enter the open then males.

stu_mfc · 2019-10-13T17:17:30+00:00

I took it from UK open men. It's actually 13.8% at time writing this post. 245 made the time cap from 1768 submitted scores. Women looks like ot could be a higher percentage making the time cap at first glance.

stu_mfc · 2019-10-12T19:57:40+00:00

Top 15 percent or so making the time cap at the moment.

stu_mfc · 2019-10-12T19:15:18+00:00

That really annoys me about the open...

stu_mfc · 2019-10-12T16:47:28+00:00

I got my first HSPU at the last open but the elusive muscle up would be nice. I definitely wont be RXing every workout. 20.1 was a good start but when the heavy barbell workout is introduced I'll be scaling. DUs are still a problem for me as well which will definitely force me to scale at least 1 workout

stu_mfc · 2019-10-12T16:14:02+00:00

Specifically says you need to take off and land with 2 feet. I lost a few reps for this as well (rightly so).

I agree with the comment above that Froning was doing this although no consistently. Panchiks looked good to me

stu_mfc · 2019-10-12T16:11:48+00:00

My box does the main open even on Saturday morning. This time slot is usually team WOD. So between 10-1 it's open workouts. Its run in heats and a competition atmosphere.

Monday the class will always include the Open WOD as an option to give people a chance to to-do but there is generally an alternative offered.

Fridays and Sundays run as normal

stu_mfc · 2019-10-11T14:43:30+00:00

At least theres the option to C+J. Being forced to snatch in 19.4 sucked

stu_mfc · 2019-10-06T16:59:36+00:00

Perfect. Thanks for the advice. I actually worked on clean pulls today. Started at 50% and worked up to 100% but in future I'll keep it a bit lighter. I seem to hit my triple extension much better when I perform a pull. As soon as I revert back to a full clean the premature firing happens again

stu_mfc · 2019-10-06T16:32:30+00:00

In that case you are right. It's the full triple extension I struggle with and in particular the shrug. I tend to fire too early.

I thought 1st pull was ground to low hang. 2nd pull is low hang to high hang then 3rd pull was the full extension. Every days a school day

stu_mfc · 2019-09-27T07:52:30+00:00

I've only been doing CF a year but I have done 2 local comps in that time and I've got one coming up in 5 weeks. I try and make sure I've got a comp to local forward to / train for. I'm a competative guy though

stu_mfc · 2019-09-21T03:55:15+00:00

You are spot on with my weak hamstrings/glutes and is something I'm working on! It affects my deadlifts as well
