News from JT in the Valley

My primary physician spotted a funny waveform on my EKG and referred me to a cardiologist.  Today was the stress echocardiogram - dynamic imaging of the heart before and after a stress test with 12 lead EKG.  I asked the exercise physiologist if she could provide an estimate of VO2 max based on the test, and she did.  (Thanks Eileen!)

Bruce protocol was used - I stopped the test at 13 mins (1 minute into stage 5).  VO2 max calculated is 53 ml/kg/min.  This is a superior rating - for 20-29 year olds.  

Doesn't, by any means, make me an elite or world class athlete (Lance Armstrong has a VO2 max in the 80's).  It does lay claim to an extraordinary fitness level, low risk of heart disease and validation for training in combination with weights and intense metabolic loads.

And the echocardiogram showed good filling in all 4 chambers.  The cardiologist's statement were that some of my chamber walls were "kissing each other" - complete contraction like they should. 

I think I'll keep exercising.

Double Tabata Run/Pushups/Situps

New workout Chipper Double Tabata Style. This is a spin off of a Single Tabata WOD we did in Dec 2010. I decided to modify it to a Double Tabata so we have ample time to get on and off the treadmills.

5 Rounds of 40 secs on/20 sec rest for 2 sets of:

1. Treadmill run (score is lowest mph)
2. Situps (score is lowest # reps/set)
3. Pushups (score is lowest # reps/set)

Rest exactly 5 mins between sets

Note: Modifications are to have 40 sec of running then 20 sec of rest. The sit-ups and pushups are to be done together back to back in a 40 sec interval with 20 sec rest after . So do 20 sec of sit-ups and without rest switch as fast as possible and complete as many push-ups as possible for the remainder of the 20 sec and then rest for 20 sec.

Total score is (MPH score)(Pushups + Situps)

Example: (6mph)(10 pushups +10 situps) = 120

Post your score and if any Mods/Scal.

Score will be how many reps total through out the workout, example there is a potential 250 reps possible each round- 200 through the first 4 exercises and the run each .01 miles counts as a rep. Record total reps for WOD and if any Scal/Mods.

Cleans to Run

Two stage workout:

Cleans are for total tonnage and the chin-ups are dead-hang no kip. For the Chin-ups palms face you and full range of motion (elbows locked on bottom- chin over bar on top). You can use the assisted machine or the bands for scaling the chin-ups.

2nd- For time:

Run- 1.5 miles (lets hit the outside course) or bike 4.5 or row 3000M

Record total tonnage and total pullups for the first part of the WOD and your time for the second part. Post any scale/mod.

Every minute on the minute complete the following for 20 minutes:

5-KB swings CF-20/16kg SM-16/12kg

5-Pull-ups

On every min on the min complete all 15 reps for the 3 exercises. If you finish all 15 reps before the min is up, use the remainder of the time to rest. If you cannot complete all fifteen reps before the min is up that is your Rx'd rounds completed on pace, use the remaider of the time left to complete as many more rounds as possible off pace. So your score could look something like this- I completed 12 rounds on pace so my Rx'd rounds were 12, for the remainder of the time I completed 5 more rounds off pace. So my score would be 12/5.

Record any scale/mods.

We're sticklers for good form, and we certainly don't want you exhibiting what we call "dog squats" like this:



 On the other hand, dog squats like this are acceptable:  click here for video.

Double Tabata Run/Pushup/Situp

Chipper Double Tabata Style. This is a spin off of a Single Tabata WOD we did in Dec 2010. I decided to modify it to a Double Tabata so we have ample time to get on and off the treadmills.

5 Rounds of 40 secs on/20 sec rest for 2 sets of:

1. Treadmill run (score is lowest mph)
2. Situps (score is lowest # reps/set)
3. Pushups (score is lowest # reps/set)

Rest exactly 5 mins between sets

Note: Modifications are to have 40 sec of running then 20 sec of rest. The sit-ups and pushups are to be done together back to back in a 40 sec interval with 20 sec rest after . So do 20 sec of sit-ups and without rest switch as fast as possible and complete as many push-ups as possible for the remainder of the 20 sec and then rest for 20 sec.

Total score is (MPH score)(Pushups + Situps)

Example: (6mph)(10 pushups +10 situps) = 120

Post your score and if any Mods/Scal. Compare to 11-05-11.

Deads For Tons

Not for time: Strength developing day, so lots of rest.

Deadlifts- 10/10/10/10/10

In teams of 4 complete max reps in 20 min of.

-Row-25o M

-"Rest"-In a plank

-Sit-ups

-Italian Toss- CF 10% BW SM 5% BW

Note: Your row will be your pace man and the rest man is just that "rest" in a plank. Once the rower is done they will go to the "rest" and the "rest" will go to situps and situps to tosses and tosses to row and repeat. You will score this in a collective effort over your sit-ups and Italian tosses. So you will have two scores as a team to add up at the end for a total score. Example: (300 sit ups + 500 tosses would = a score of 800). Everyone will work until the rower is done with the 250 M row and will not start working until the rower starts. If the rest man drops from the plank only the rower stops and the other exercises can keep on working until the row is done.
