Every 30 seconds for 5 minutes:
2 jumping muscle ups
              Raise your jumping MU ring height slightly higher than they were last week.
              Measure that height so that you can gradually raise them higher and higher.

Engine/Goat WOD
Every 3 minutes x 3
     500 meter row
          With a running clock, row a 500 at time 0, 3:00, and 6:00.
          So 3 x 500 meter row.
          If you are running out of time today, choose between this WOD and #3 of the Oly Strength.
          If rowing and/or Metcons is/are a goat for you,
          then definately choose this over the EMOM snatches.
          Row these no more than 8 seconds slower than your PR 500 row time.
          Do this AFTER you finish everything else

Non Muscle Uppers

Non Mucle Uppers- This is a great video

This is a great way to conceptualize your movement as you progress through the muscle up. He teaches it very well. Watch it. Watch again. Then watch it a lot. Feeling the hip pop and then preparing your torso/shoulders for the transition to the top of the rings are, in my opinion, the hardest things to master when learning the muscle up. He explains it so well. Jumping muscle ups are programmed to force you to feel that transition. His instruction should help you conceptualize that transition. Take 5 or 10 minutes this weekend to practice/feel each of the movements/stages he describes. Ignore what he says about grip...for now.

If you have trouble viewing this:
On Youtube, search "Muscle Up Progression with Carl Paoli"

So here is the deal,
This exists because some of you have asked me to do some programming, and this seems to be the easiest route for me. It will not hurt my feelings if you do more, do less, or do none at all. I am trying to be comprehensive and periodized in order to write a program that will best prepare an EFA. That being said, IF YOU ASKED ME TO PROGRAM FOR YOU, THEN YOU BETTER EFFING POST.
I need to know how much you guys are able to get done. I need to be able to see what areas you need more/less work. This programming is supposed to take less than 1:15. If it doesn't, I need to know that.
I will post more info on other things I will need to know later. I will also post the team goals/standards and other promised things. Until then, help me help you.
The best way to help me right now is to post to comments after each BHT day. I know it sucks to post, I do it 5 days a week.

       This is for your training, not for a competition. Don't be a   

        meathead. If you fail to complete 6 reps at any time, you are done.

        If you feel good, try to make it to 15 minutes. Be smart.

This might have been the roughest week of BHT yet. Utilize your rest days. 

We came up with some ideas at the competitor meeting that I will outline on here later. Dolf had some good suggestions in the comments on an earlier post. Everyone, come up with some personal goals for yourself and for the team. We posted some suggested goals and some "musts" on the board in the north room. I will also post them on here later. For now, check them out to see how you stack up. This list will give everyone a good idea of the areas where they need work on. Stay classy BHT, Booya.

     I think I got the bugs out of the comments situation. I try to see what most everyone was and wasn't able to do each post (by asking each of you individually). I am not saying that you have to post what you did, but I think it would be a great way for you guys to keep up with each other. It is also a great way for me to see what you are able to complete each day. I am still trying to tweak the programming to make it more user friendly, and seeing what you guys are able to complete will help guide the programming.

EMOTM for as long as possible:
3 Hang Power Cleans + 3 Front Squats + 3 Jerks
Ninjas: 165/115#
Beasts: 185/135#

Choose a weight that you can complete at least 9 rounds with, shoot for 13+ rounds. This WOD will tear you up if you scale to the right weight. It will destroy you if you choose the wrong weight. If you do not complete at least 9 rounds, use one minute to scale down and then complete at least 9 rounds with the scaled weight. "Do It" with caution.

So Tuesday night there is a Q&A session for the gym. It starts at 7:30. Most of you will be there anyway. There is a possibility that I may be working late. If I am not working late, lets ALL try to meet right after. It will be about 15-25 minutes, so don't stress out. Try to be there if you can. We have some fun things to talk about. Until then; read this article.

                                          then jump so that both feet leave the ground at the same time.

                                          Start the next rep by stepping back into a lunge with your

                                           left leg. You will get the hang of it.

                                    are the same plates and clips to be used on the sled drags.

                                    Start with weight on the sled, drag it, unload it, load bar, snatch,
                                     unload the bar, load the sled, pull sled, etc.

                                                     Do It!

                                                                                                                        

        

      "The Open" starts 3 months from today...Sooooo.... I think it is time to start thinking about Open/Regional/Games goals and plans. I have been whittling away at what I feel will be an appropriate "List of Minimums". It is an adaptation of what Hackenbruck did at his gym before his team won the games. This will be a list of lifts, skills, WODs, times and loads that will be goals for individuals and for the members of the team. A litmus test of sorts. I think that we should all get together soon and come up with some goals and  plans as the next 3-5 months unfold.

      At regionals, the men who went to the games from our region averaged a finishing place of 6.5 or better on each event last year. The women averaged a finishing place of 4.6. The teams averaged a finishing place of 3.6. The teams from our region that went to the games, finished top 6 on every regional event. Last year, we had the ability to finish top 6 on at least 4 of the events, but only  finished top 6 on 1 event. 

        We have the ability/talent to send multiple individuals and a team to the games. I am of the opinion that these next few months are crucial in order to do that. I think a competitor meeting is in order. We can tweak the "List of Minimums" and come up with a plan. Competitor WODS once/twice a week? "Competitor class"? Team goals? Competition plans? Open Plans? Open goals? Programming thoughts? Let me know what you guys think about a meeting. Post comments/suggestions.

WOD

               Four weeks down of first cycle, four weeks to go... That means we are halfway done with the "Explosive Cycle".

               I know that for a lot of you it is tough to do the Hill and Stair days (hills and stairs are hard to find). Don't be discouraged by that. If you can't do the hills or stairs, substitute a "Grunt work" or "Sprint Day" from a previous week. If you have been light on WODs through these first two cycles (yes there was a Power Strength Cycle that preceded these BHT posts) and (yes Bryan this means you), now is the time to begin to ramp up your weekly WOD volume. "Open the trunk...Do It...Do It"

              I have begun final structuring of the next cycle that will ramp up into the Open...so excited. We are going to have at least 8 E.F.A.'s qualify for "The Reeg" (Regionals) this year...so excited. So get your mind right and Crush It.

             And Drew... you better be 3 lbs lighter than you were last month.

...now for Brad's viewing pleasure..."Do It"
