19.2 Hannah Caldas tips

19.2 is 16.2

We are already fully involved in the 2019 Open. The first week has already passed, and we have a new WOD. Although it is not TAN New, because training itself is a vu. Hi 2016! 19.2 is 16.2. The community usually likes repeated Wods because it gives a great opportunity to compare ourselves with our past and look for what we expect is an improvement in performance. For a large percentage of people, even if they were not in the Open in 2016, this WOD has already been tested and have an idea of ​​how it is. The WOD consists of 3 exercises gaining weight but descending the repetitions of one of them in blocks of 4 minutes (except the first interval).

Starting with an 8 -minute watch, complete: 25 toes-to-bars 50 Double-Inders 15 Squat Cleans, 135 lb. 25 toes-to-bars 50 Double-Inders 13 Squat Cleans, 185 lb. If completed before 8 minutes, add 4 more minutes and do: 25 toes-to-bars 50 Double-Inders 11 Squat Cleans, 225 lb. If completed before 12 minutes, add 4 more minutes and do: 25 toes-to-bars 50 Double-Inders 9 Squat Cleans, 275 lb. If completed before 16 minutes, add 4 more minutes and do: 25 toes-to-bars 50 Double-Inders 7 Squat Cleans, 315 lb. Stop at 20 minutes.

¿Rx or climbing?

In this WOD, we have an escalation option (unlike last week) and, therefore, one of the most important decisions you have to make now is whether to do it in Rx or climb. Personally, I am a defender that the classification is not everything, so I usually recommend climbing for many people instead of repetition in Rx and continue in the upper part of the classification. As a physical condition test, I prefer someone who advances several blocks in escalation What to spend 8 minutes trying to get repetitions. If the first 2 pesos of Rx They are too challenge or it is not possible to make 50 T2B and 100 DU in approximately 6 minutes, I strongly recommend choosing the climbing version.

Strategy...

... It will be quite similar regardless of the chosen route.

Toes to bar/knee raises

For many people, this will be a limiting factor. The number of repetitions is enough for grip to fatigue quickly. So will your core making the rest of the WOD quite hard. The advice here is "know your limits." What is the number of repetitions that you can easily perform without getting fatigue and staying for considerable time? This number will obviously differ from person to person, but for all, it is important that we never reach that point of fatigue, we will need a considerable amount of time to rest before being able to continue. Especially in this training where We need to save extra time In each block. If your number is 5, continue with that number! If your number is 1, continue with that number! Never try to go beyond that, even if you feel comfortable at that time, because it will exceed you! And, especially, if you are not sure that you will be able to do that extra repetition. Because the amount of energy and effort you will use to fail that repetition will be a complete waste and also frustrate you. Don't forget to protect your hands! Especially if you are going far in the WOD, the volume of repetitions is more than enough to make wounds that can take a long time to heal, and we are only in week 2!The AZOR Grips are my favorites Since they cover their hand well, with excellent grip and are thin to feel the bar.

Double Unders/jumps to Rope

They have put them for several reasons:
  • To get the pulsations and tire;
  • And because they are a frustration for many people.
The number of repetitions is not enormous, but it is high enough for many people to have difficulty going abroken, or at least Unbroken every time. Relax, do not think about going fast, but being efficient. Some slow down and unbroken will continue to be faster than 50 fast where you stumble 2-3 times. Not to mention the frustration that you will now take with you. Although I do not recommend dividing the Du, it could be a strategy that could be used if it is one of your weaknesses. In addition, I could help contain some frustration. I will not deepen much more in this, but the material you use is important. The Rope adequate for you is crucial, adjusted to your size to avoid technical problems. I usually recommend the PICSIL Bee Rope, since it is a Rope Very fast with comfortable mangoes , and the Bleeclick system allows rapid adjustments to the size of the rope, even during the WOD if necessary.

Squat Cleans

I would say that the Cleans in this training will be the great wall for most, since the weights quickly ascend with each round. And it is likely that a time comes when you can't get that clean. Does this mean that you should not try to reach those high weights and not try an RM? No way! I say for it! But let's be intelligent and come in the best possible conditions to succeed. Go for Clean when you're ready! You core It is weak of the T2B, your high pulsations of the DU, the last thing you want is a heavy bar falling on your shoulders for which you are not prepared. Be intelligent! Once you have finished with the Clean, you will immediately return to the bar for the T2B and need your whole grip. So for this, I recommend that you make your clean in one from the beginning. Yes, I know you can probably get several in a row (Touch & Go) maybe even! But that does not mean that it is the best strategy. Will they be faster that way? Yes. But you will also fatigue you quickly and at that time it will be too late and you will rest too much while time runs out.

Repeat or not?

If there is any wod that may make a lot of sense, it is in which you are given extra time if the repetitions before a certain time, and this is definitely one of those. And especially if you were 1 or 3 repetitions of receiving those additional 4 min. How many more repetitions could you do in 4 min? Well, even if you were completely destroyed and rested 1 full minute, you could get a substantial amount of more repetitions and seriously improve your score. But, once again, it is intelligent, since it is only week 2 and there are 3 more weeks ahead and it is not known what will happen next. So my recommendation is to have an intelligent plan immediately and try to place yourself in a position that you don't need to repeat!
