Chris Mathison Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) Well... you two could workout and sleep together in a Hyperbaric Chamber OR quit being girls! Edited August 10, 2008 by Chris Mathison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Brouse Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 The oxidate system is only gonna play a role in those events lasting longer than 30 seconds or so. However, the cluster training, which causes repeated lactate spikes, will condition the body to work as efficiently as possible in an anerobic state (i.e., training like we've been doing will allow greater tolerance for higher blood lactate levels). This will in turn allow us to tolerate the decrease in absolute oxygen volume because of the increased elevation. Hopefully that makes sense. I got to thinking about this after talking with Mikey on the phone the other day...I think you guys should talor certain events (depending on their duration come game day) specifically to this training style. The weights shouldn't be an issue, just the conditioning, keeping your wind well enough to keep the speed up. Especially for the stop and go events (e.g. Tire Flip).

carusom1 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Chris- I think you mean hypobaric chamber and yes I will think about how to open my vag a little wider to get some air in there 081108 Yoke: 80ft 240, 440 60ft 530, 600 (7.94), 650 (8.53), 700 (9.84), 750 (11.13) Lat Pull: W/U 160, 205, 250 x6 cluster 3x280x6 (20s rest) cluster 3x220x6 (20s rest) DB Flyes: 4x8x70 Conc. Curl: 4x8x45 Stretch How to build speed on the yoke (or farmers): it seems like there is a narrow window in which to work with weights for these events that will really build up speed. If it is too light, you will move way faster than you ever would with competition weights and if too heavy, you can not develop the foot speed necessary in order to win the event. thoughts??

schunajm Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 That's interesting about nats. Wonder if since they had already decided to take the top 30 over till day 2 that they changed the setup? We may have to start earlier on Saturday then, but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Brouse Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 840x60ft (8 flips / 68s), 840x60ft (9 flips / 49s) That doesn't make sense. Two greens each side? Or just using greens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusom1 Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 yeah, I don't know why but sometimes it takes 8 flips and sometimes 9 flips. I'm thinking at Nats it will take 8 flips since it will be on a larger tire. This is Reese'es tire with 2 45s bolted in at 4 places. Funny, this was much more difficult than when I had a 45 and 35 in there. The greens are wrapped around a pin from the outside of the rack (kinda hard to explain). If I had to guess I would say it was maybe 30-40lb at the bottom and 110-120 at the top. Curious what John thinks the tension is?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the bands are doubled up (besides using two of them), I think that there is more tension at both top and bottom. I'm confident that it was way more than 30-40 at the bottom, maybe more like double that figure, and then maybe even double the top end figure that you gave when at full lockout. It's hard to tell though. Unless we went and got a spring scale and actually checked its really just guesswork. Either way this last week it was HEAVY at the top. It felt a lot heavier than the 900 I did the week before with the pin at a higher setting and only a green band. Just my observations and opinions though.

Chris Mathison Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 You are 3 reps and 10lbs away from matching LBstone in the famous viper video. I think they had 75seconds though. Anyways. nice work. I like how you pick a few different impliments but basically stick to the same movement in most of your workouts.

Matt Brouse Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Have you tried pacing it more? Like spreading the reps out in order to conserve for a more steady pace... Actually, screw that, just hit it hard. It's a lot like making love to a woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike hes got a good point though. When I go for reps with a weight I cant press for the entire 60seconds I quit 1 or 2 reps before im completely gassed. It seems alot easier to come back and hit a few more after that than trying to hit just one more maybe 2 after being completely gassed. it takes some self control because you wanna just go until you cant but it works. Or maybe in training its better to just do what you do.. who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
