Westbound Crossfit - OPEN GYM

1530

Hyrox Conditioning

Run - 500 meters
Row - 500 meters
Run - 500 meters
Farmers Carry - 2x24kg - 120 meters
Run - 500 meters
Sandbag Walking Lunge - 15kg - 60 meters
Run - 500 meters
Wall Ball Shots - 14 pounds - 10x10 EMOM

I was quite pleased with myself for finishing in 37:54.  I just wanted to get in the rhythm of working through the movements in order and wanted to sprinkle in some running.  Run was an out and back from the back door to the Holland St, making a left and turning around at Garland Way.  The first run took 4 minutes (later measured it to 500 meters on Google Earth).  Farmers Carry was two laps around the gym (measured by pacing off 180 feet in one lap).  The pace on the wall ball shots felt really good.  I think this would be sustainable in Hyrox.  

Going forward a good scenario would be to work through movements 1-4 (Ski-Push-Pull-Burpee Broad Jumps) and movement 5-8 (Row-Farmers Carry-Lunge-Wall Ball) alternating ideally twice a week or every 10 days. Walking Lunges and Burpee Broad Jumps can be done anywhere.  The others require a little planning.

Buff Dudes DIY Roman Chair


I have been looking for one of these for a crazy long time and this is just the solution I have been looking for.  Unfortunately, I am not a metal worker or welder.  

Materials 1-1/2" 14 gauge square tubing (1.67 pounds/foot)

2x48"
2x21"
2x21"
4x18"
2x9"
2x4"

23" pipe

Wood for seat, padding and staples

Pricing out at Metals Depot in Denver (all custom cut)

48" = $15 each
23" = $8.75 each
21" = $7.50 each
18" = $6.75 each
9" = $4.50 each
4" = $3.25 each

$111.25 metal

23.2 feet of metal at $1.67 lb/ft = 39 pounds

I reached out to Gonzo Welding Co for a fabrication quote.  It is 16 joints and I have to believe the project would take 2-4 hours.  If it could be managed for $200, I will have to follow through.


I have also thought about purchasing this DIY device from Facebook Marketplace (currently listed for $30).  I could mount my bench to the wood and have a suitable roman chair.  I might have to get shorter 3/4" nipples to get the foot rest height correct.

Thirdly, I bought an Ab Amigo and could mount it to the wall in front of my bench.  This would be the most efficient solution in terms of space.

Finally, I could have a commercial roman chair modified to be flat instead of a 15 degree angle.

Weightlifting

Back Country CrossFit West (Coach Kyle)

0700 (6 of us)

Overhead Shrugs
Pendley Rows
Muscle Snatch
Power Snatch
Clean & Jerk

Weightlifting is a pretty cool at Back Country CrossFit.  Basically there is a series of movements intended to allow an athlete to get some Oly reps in.  The pace and cueing is highly athlete dependent.  Among the 6 of us, I would say there was 1 advanced lifter, 3 intermediate lifters and 2 of us novices.

Overhead Shrug cues - Rotate shoulders, drive with scaps, head away from ears, butt back 

Pendley Rows - These are rows from a dead stop on the floor and back should remain flat

Muscle Snatch cues - Pull bar up with the shoulders, fix barbell height and rotate elbows into pressing position, punch overhead and press head through shoulders

Power Snatch cues - Slide feet out after going weightless with arms straight.  Get comfortable in the receiving position before standing up.

There were many more cues than that, but I do like the philosophy of getting reps in and having a watchful coach offer improvements.  The goal is not to have your lifts look like a particular ideal, but instead to use the competitive sport of weightlifting to move better.  That could be based on limb length and geometry, mobility or technique development.  The needs of the health oriented CrossFitter differ from an Olympian only in degree, not type.  

I would definitely enjoy coming in more often.  The absence of intensity was a really nice change of pace.

Comparing the Heavy Lifts

The USAWA rulebook has (5) Heavy Lifts:

Back Lift
Hand & Thigh Lift
Harness Lift
Hip Lift
Neck Lift

At first I thought they were considered the heavy lifts, because they all utilized a special lift bar.  But then you have a lot of "Special Equipment" lifts that also use the heavy lift bar.  

Then I thought it was the most weight lifted, but the presence of the Neck Lift throws that out the window.

But I digress.  I have the most experience with the Hip Lift and wanted to use that as a comparison for the other heavy lifts.  How do the other lifts stack up?  The Back Lift is kind of tricky because it has only been contested at Dino Gym or Clark's Championship Gym.  I am assuming that the equipment might make a difference.

The Harness Lift seems to be about 130% of the Hip Lift 
The Hand & Thigh seems to be about 70% of the Hip Lift
The Neck Lift seems to be about 30% of the Hip Lift
The Back Lift seems to be about 115% of the Hip Lift






Travis Lift

I am one step closer to attempting a Travis Lift.  

My first descent into the Travis Lift rabbit hole was based on the very limited numbers that had been established in USAWA.  (17) Men and (3) Women have established records.  
  1. 1990 - Howard Prechtel - 1815 (Ambridge)
  2. 2006 - Misty Fritz (13) - 520 (Dino Gym)
  3. 2006 - Kirstie Griffis (14) - 520 (Dino Gym)
  4. 2006 - Mary McConnaughey - 740 (Dino Gym)
  5. 2006 - Kent Longbine (14) - 880 (Dino Gym)
  6. 2006 - John Janzen - 1000 (Dino Gym)
  7. 2006 - Layne Burnett - 1200 (Dino Gym)
  8. 2006 - David Suttle - 1200 (Dino Gym)
  9. 2006 - Rick Newton - 1200 (Dino Gym)
  10. 2006 - Joe Garcia - 2000 (Dino Gym)
  11. 2006 - Dean Ross - 1200 (Dino Gym)
  12. 2006 - Rudy Bletscher (70) - 740 (Dino Gym)
  13. 2006 - Tim Pinkerton - 1200 (Dino Gym)
  14. 2006 - Kurt Pohlman - 1200 (Dino Gym)
  15. 2006 - Bret Carter - 1600 (Dino Gym)
  16. 2006 - Eric Todd - 2000 (Dino Gym)
  17. 2006 - John O'Brien - 1600 (Dino Gym)
  18. 2006 - Josh Hettinger - 1200 (Dino Gym)
  19. 2015 - Derek Prior - 585 (Florida)
  20. 2015 - Theo Prior - 705 (Florida)
Howard Prechtel established the first record at 1815 pound in 1990 in Ambridge during a record day.

The lift was next contested at the 2006 Dino Gym Challenge.  That year, the Dino Gym Challenge was subtitled the Travis Lift Showdown.  The top Men's mark of 2000 pounds was shared by Joe Garcia and Eric Todd.  The top Women's mark was 740 pounds by Mary McConnaughey.

After another long hiatus, the lift was tested at a record day in Florida in 2015.  Derek Prior and Theo Prior (13 years old) lifted 585 pounds and 705 pounds respectively.  Way to go kid!  The Florida Record Day was the first ever USAWA record day in Florida and was hosted at The Iron Cave in Fellsmere, Florida.

When looking at those records, notice that four of them are junior records!!

The next level of the rabbit hole was a thread I posted on the USAWA Forum asking has for any experience anyone had with the lift.  Someone mentioned a belt with hooks.  Another lifter gave a warning about being the danger of being attached to an elevated barbell.  Finally thoughts were added on the number of power belts that were broken during the efforts.  

5 months later, I have crafted some utility-loops based on a design from Belt Fed Strength.  It may be another 5 months before I actually give this lift a try, but wanted to document my progress.

The mile run course was pretty straightforward.  Heading out the back door along W Burgundy Ave, make a left on S Holland Way, pass one intersection (S Garland Way) and turn left at the next intersection (W Parkhill Ave) to the drainage ditch and it is an out and back.

Harness Lift

I had previously decided that I was not going to mess with the harness lift or figure out how to design a harness.  It is now time to walk that back.  The USAWA regulations are pretty open and stipulate shoulder straps no wider than 3 inches and a waist strap no wider than 4 inches.  Looking at several images on the usawa.com website, I have a few ideas.

Step 1 - Take a length of the leather belting and cut to 47 inches plus fold over on the front and dangling straps on the back.  This will allow me to adjust the length of the shoulder straps, before riveting the assembly.

Step 2 - Fabricate a second hip belt that is shorter.  Maybe 40ish inches.  The longer length of my current hip belt is to allow the delta rings to be clear of the lifters body.  This may be less of an issue with the harness lift.

I want the weight pulling straight down with minimal bend at the waist.  The shoulder straps will come down to a delta ring which then clips to both ends of the hip belt.  The chain passes through the hip belt anchors and connects to the heavy lift bar.  Essentially it appears to be a hip lift, but the shoulder straps allow the lifter to press up with the arms in a more erect posture.




These all seem to be fabricated with a single point of attachment at the back and the front of the shoulder strap and a "slice" for the head to protrude through.  I am not sure if this will work with the leather I have.  It seems like it is too thick.  I am going to try to make it work with a single point of attachment up front and two attachment points in the back.  It would be set up for me and any adjustment would have to happen by removing the rivets in the back or using carriage bolts for assembly.

UPDATE:  12/8/2024 - I made my way to Tandy Leather and my length of my remaining leather was only 92 inches.  I split the length in half and trimmed one half to 4 inches and the other half to two 2 inch shoulder straps.  My next step will be securing the two shoulder straps to a delta ring and building a shorter hip belt.

UPDATE:  12/9/2024 - The initial assembly went remarkably well.  I punched holes to attach the straps to the waist belt.  I set up 480 pounds and gave it a couple of pulls and I am not getting enough loading on my shoulders.  I will have to head back and punch a couple of more holes (1" centers? 2" centers?) and try it again.  I may actually stick with screw rather than rivet construction for the shoulder straps so that the set up could be modified for other athletes.

UPDATE:  12/12/2024 - Successful lifts crossing over the straps rather than shortening them.  I will get some help marking the alignment and punch additional holes so that I have three attachment points at the belt.  This lift took me to 137 of 195 lifts attempted.
