Sunday August 24, 2014: Case Study (Pt. 1)

Today we are delving into the case study/ design logistics for HPA-Gold (next week we will discuss Blue). 

Based on the initial testing phase we have compiled the following data...

Structural Balance:

BS:FS- Slight Front Squat Priority 

BS:PC- Power Clean Priority 

BS:Sn- Snatch Priority 

FS:Clean- Balanced 

Press:WPU- Balanced

*Indication- Group is stronger than fast and UB Push/Pull absolute strength is poor relative to squatting ability/ bodyweight. 

CP-Battery/ Neuromuscular Efficiency

NME Test- 5 reps 

*Indication- moderate NME score. This is neither good nor bad; it is simply an reference point/indicator for what type of strength protocols will work best for the group as a whole.

8 Minute AMAP: PC @90%- 20 reps (range = 14-26)

*Indication- As a whole the group has a poor CP-Battery. 

5 RFT BJ/PCJ- 7:29 

*Indication- CP-Battery in a mixed setting is comparatively better than in a single modality setting, but still needs overall improvement/ further development. 

Gymnastic Density/ Muscular Endurance 

UB C2B Pullups- 19 reps

UB Kip HSPU- 22

UB  Strict HSPU- 15 reps 

*Indications- Muscular endurance (gymnastic specific) needs development. 

50 BS For Time- 3:23 average (2:42-4:10 range)

*Indication- Muscular endurance (specific to Low-load squatting) will not be a priority in this first cycle. 

50 Kipping HSPU FT- 4:34 average (3:58-5:07 range)

*Indication- as previously stated, gymnastic specific muscular endurance will be a priority. Not only do we need to get the UB stronger/ increase the # of reps that can be performed UB; we also need to create sustainability within these characteristics. 

30 Muscle Ups: 8:06 avg (6:13-10:05 range)

Indication- Based on comments from the group it seems there may be some technical deficiencies. We will implement video review here to correct that, but for now this is not a major priority. 

Regional Rope Climb WOD- 10:01 average (9:53-10:12 range)

*Indication- Time cap for regionals was 7:00 here. Since the focus for this group is in fact regionals we ideally need this score to be a bit faster. However, it gives us a good comparison being that we already established this testing characteristic as a weakness/priority (ie- we can see where we are as a group relative to where we need to be). 

5 Min C2B/Burpee- 3 rounds+14 reps/ avg (3+7 to 4rd range)

*Indication- this is solely for test/retest purposes. Ie- it is a relative test rather than one used to get an absolute score.

Skills:

5 Min DU's: 256 average (251-265 range)

*Indication- group is proficient with DU's. No issues here. 

Energy System Testing

Row/KBS/Burpee:

Repeat #1- 5:19 average (4:22-6:29 range)

Repeat #2- 5:44 average (4:22-7:54 range)

*Indication- absolute power potential is low for the group (even for those on the low range). This will be a priority moving forward, as will aerobic base development (which will help create sustainability between efforts even with incomplete recovery). 

Power Clean/Burpee Repeatability Test:

Repeat #1- 3:51 avg (3:08-4:53 range)

Repeat #2- 4:18 avg (3:12-5:54 range)

*Indication- Same as the above test. 

2,000m Row- 7:15.5/avg (6:57-7:34 range)

1,600m Run- 6:22/avg (5:53-6:51 range)

*Indication- as a group aerobic power is more developed than anaerobic, though it still needs further development. Ideally we want the average for the 2k sub 7:00, and the Run sub 6:00 (atleast). 

10 Rounds For Time: 500m Row/15 Burpee

29:02 (only one data point)

*Indication- We only have one data point here (one athlete responded), which will create a big skew. If we were to go by this one point alone I would saw the group as a whole is VERY well developed aerobically. However, this athlete had the fastest times on other tests so they are not indicative of the group. I have correlative data for the other test results and this, so I would put the average for this group at around 32:00-35:00 minutes for this test. That being said, developing an aerobic base via sub maximal work will be a priority. 

Takeaways:

-In terms of structural balance points the priority for the group will be getting olympic liftings maxes as well as UB push/Pull absolute strength up (note- this isn't to say we will not continue trying to get squat maxes up. It is simply an indication of where the priority lies). 

-The avatar for the group is "Stronger than Fast" (this is determined by the relationship between BS/FS/Clean/Snatch Maxes, absolute power potential, and CP-Battery). As such, absolute speed/ speed strength work will be strategically used to reach a balance point. 

-As a group muscular endurance (UB/ Gymnastic specific) needs development. Increasing absolute strength on these movements will be a foundational element of this (as it will serve as a base), but specific Rx's also need to be put into place (in a non-fatigued format). 

-NME is moderate, which will dictate Rx's used within CP (strength) work. 

-CP-Battery is poor. Specific Rx's will be used accordingly for improvement (as well as will speed-strength development). 

-As a group absolute power potential is low.

-Group is more enduring than powerful on an absolute scale. However, on a relative scale for aerobic development they are more powerful than enduring. 

Priorities:

-UB Push/Pull Absolute Strength & Olympic Lifting Maxes

-Muscular Endurance & CP-Battery

-A-Lactic Power (10-20s time domain)

-Aerobic Base Development

Quick Announcement- We have updated the FAQ section which should clear up any confusion regarding the notation on the workouts etc. If you have any questions that are not answered within the FAQ let us know (we will constantly be updating it in order to make it as inclusive as possible).

Sunday August 17, 2014: Weekly Recap

With the final day of testing behind us it is time to look forward to what will come. But, before we do so we'd like to thank everyone one last time for giving the program a shot.

Tomorrow marks the start of the first official training cycles for HPA Gold, Blue, and Grid. 

The priorities for each group will be reflective of the data collected in these past two weeks, as well as the goal for each group moving forward. That being said, we will still continue to review everyones results daily to ensure you all get the correct training response/ and progresses as needed needed moving forward. 

If you are wondering what the priorities for each group are/ what the direction each will take moving forward.... We are currently in the process of writing up the case studies for each group. These will all be posted next sunday. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns in the meantime though feel free to ask in the comments section or shoot us an email. 

We look forward to working with you all!

Onward,

High Performance Athlete

Sunday August 10, 2014: Weekly Recap/ Review

Thanks again to everyone for giving the program a shot on this first week. We look forward to getting to know all of you; and helping you reach your full potential.

We have begun to analyze the results from testing week one, and are starting to get a picture of what each groups "avatar" will look like. However, we still need more data points. Which we will be collecting in this, final, week of testing.

Once the testing phase is done we will post case studies for each group. Which, will include the groups makeup (NME, CP-Battery, Energy System Dominance etc), and strengths/ weaknesses as a whole. We will also explain the training priorities for each group (based on the initial testing results), and the direction moving forward.

If anyone has any questions/ comments/ concerns regarding anything from week one post to the comments on this post.

Onward,
High Performance Athlete

PS- Earlier this week we asked the athletes following HPA-Gold to post their warmups for the lactic repeat tester (tuesday). As a whole they were sub-par in regards to what is required for a workout that requires such a high output. While we will address proper warmups in detail, here, in upcoming blog posts, we want everyone to check out a previous post we've written and apply it to this weeks lactate tester. The post can be found HERE.

Saturday August 9, 2014:

HPA-Gold:
10 Rounds For Time:
500m Row
15 Burpees

*Record total working time, and splits for all 10 rounds.

* set AD to count down from 10 min and BW 150lb, goal here is 300 cals, 250 is good, 225 or lower needs work
** 600 double unders is the goal for second part, record reps + limiting factor in your opinion
***If you don't have an airdyne perform a 10 Min Row for cals. The goals will be a bit different though. As a reference to what pace yields what # of cals....
2:10/500m = 144 cals 
2:00/500m = 165 cals
1:50/500m = 201 cals
1:40/500m = 250 cals
