Those are some great numbers, this guy should do pretty well but you never know what's going to come out of the hopper or how the pressure of competition will affect someone. Super strict judging can throw someone off their game quick! Good luck Jacob!

Last year at regionals I hadn't really done any heavy weight lifting and got killed on the 165lb front squats for reps... Since then I've really been focusing on getting stronger and upping my volumes when it comes heavier lifts for reps. Hope it works and hope to make it back to Denver.

Take care... Thanks

I can't wait to see how everyone does??? It took a lot of programming to get the WODS that I choose for the Midwestern Sectionals. I hope everyone enjoys them as much as I will enjoy watching everyone do them!!

3,2,1.....GO!

Jacob tried the OC Throwdown WOD's today, the fist two anyway, and found that he would have been in first place after the first two events. And that was with him feeling like crap getting sick!

He is a friend and posts to our blog of "regular" guys. We post our "regular guy" numbers and then he comes in and cuts our times in half! :-) He is a machine. If Jacob could lift heavier (and he's getting better!) I think his name would be known worldwide in the CrossFit community. He's like Mikko in that he does like 3 WODs every day. His performances are world class.

Oh, but I did beat Jacob in the 5K row. :-) Everything else he KILLS me in. But I'm an old guy too, and I drink beer.

Thanks, Fletcher I'll let you know how part II goes with those SoCal WOD's 3&4, I'll post the video's of them all once I'm done.

And you do have me on that rower... for now!

these are awesome stats Jacob.

I agree actually that compared to your other mindblowing WOD times, your 5k row is actually pretty soft. I would think you'll be able to get close to 18 mins

good luck at your games and good on you for posting on main site

haha jacob when i was wondering to myself about your qualifiers performance, i reasoned that you mustve run into a squatting wod since that looked like your only 'weakness'

i was right!

but yes sir, good luck this year.

McSharry, yep when I was in Denver WOD 2 took me 8min +, I recently pounded it out and am in the mid 5min range. So I hope I can keep up now if I have to squat heavy fast, but thanks for the notice...

And Nick, I'm quite happy I was able to break the 19min mark on my 5K Row. I only row with the damper at 10 and pulled 19 spm, with a 17 spm 1k portion of my distance. Either way though I'm always working on trying to improve things and will take into consideration.

Thanks

We have been participating in a blog with Jacob for about a year now and he consistently posts insanely fast metcons! Keep going hard Jacob.

Matt Murski posted amazing numbers and bombed at the games... You are only as good as your weakest movement. Muscle ups... Squats... Verticle jumping... pick your poison but you can't hide your lack of ROM or your cheating numbers anywhere around here. Even with video proof most people will tell you, you failed x reps and your bullshit. I mean hell look at spealler when he rocked 100+ pullups an people still commented like sorry man not good enough you missed at least 15 reps. So show up put up and shut em up!

Yep that is the truth Tom, no hiding at the sectionals... Hope to hit my mark and show up, along with everyone else I'm sure.

Best of luck to everyone with their training and their health, until then take care.

Hey Jacob- 42nd?? I figured you to finish in the top 5. I was telling my son about your work outs. I used to work with you at the hospital. Can you email me your link so he can see some of the videos? I cant remember your website. Jackie
