Yay! First post!
At first glance, this looks like fun. Then I read further about weighting the pu's.
As Clubber Lang said, "I predict pain!"

"The forcast calls for pain."
-Robert Cray

me: Oh goodie....oh...crap.

LOL.

INSANE WOD! :)

I noticed the WOD's always say pull-ups and not chin-ups. I always kind of envisioned that as meaning "pulling yourself up to the bar" and not the strict definition of pull-ups which are palms facing away from you, like in the exercise link.

Are we supposed to perform these pull-ups with palms facing away from us?

To continue...

It seems to me that it would be more of a bonus and more in the spirit of Crossfit to perform "pull-ups" with as many different style hand grips as possible.

What does everyone think? I could be wrong...what do I know anyways after Crossfitting for only 2 weeks?

You're right. One of the journals goes into quite a bit of detail about the pull-up, stressing that you should work it into your warm up and vary the grip, spending more time on whichever is weaker.

I was having some back problems a few months ago and coundnt get out of bed. I started doing the morning stretching from brad appleton and my pain is almost completly gone. I am using the morning stretching as my warm up for the wod and it works great. I am wondering if it would be ok to sub the last 5 min of the prescribed arobic activity for pull ups and or other excercises I need to practice, before I am streched out. CrossFit Rocks!

11:10 broken sets on pullups

I enjoyed this WOD quite a lot, thanks Coach.

11:56

Body Weight 172 lbs
35 pound Dumbbell thrusters
30 pound weighted pullups

Did this with someone of the same weight so we used the 30 pounds for the pullups so we wouldn't interfere with the other person's thrusters.

The pull-ups were hard, but fun.

4:55
BW 155#, used 30# dumddells for thrusters. Wore a 35# kb attached to a belt around my waist for the pull-ups. First set of pull-ups unbroken. Second 2 sets broken once.

9:35
Thurster unbroken with 35lb db
Pullups with 30lb done in sets of 4 and 3
Short but hard workout

5:13.49 @ 1/4+ BW (45lb.)

This one was right up my alley. Bodyweight is 168lbs., 1/5 (35lb.) bodyweight would have been a bit light for me, so I went up to 45lb. (a little more than 1/4 bodyweight).

Still snowing here...

Oh yeah...all sets unbroken.

BW = 175, used 35# DBs.

Time 5:53

Pull-ups were broken all 3 sets. Very tough workout. Finished with 3 sets HSPU, 3 sets pushups, and 3 sets of unweighted pull-ups. Nice way to start the day.

5:02 150#BWT & 30# DBs

15:51 as prescribed

BW=165, used 35# DBs.

First time with weighted pullups -- gutted out a lot of singles.

Sean McCumiskey,
I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're asking. But CrossFit is about overall fitness and functional strength. The WODs are a mysterious arrangement of seemingly-random-but-not-quite-so exercises. Classes at HQ and other centers are similar in nature and result, but often quite different in details. The point is that it matters less exactly what you do (assuming they are functional exercises) than how you do it.

Another point is that the WODs done with intensity as prescribed really do work. There are a few freaks of nature who regularly augment the WODs, but most mortals tend to achieve the results they seek with just the WODs. In other words, you can sub anything any time you want. But except in cases of scaling the workout to fit your size and conditioning, subbing is rarely more effective.

Ron N,

Awesome quote. Nothing like bustin' out the old school with Clubber Lang! He also said: "I'ma beat you like a dog!"...which is what this WOD will do to me.

My pu sets will be so fractured that I grabbed an old backpack before I left the house. I'm going to put 35# in. Picking up a DB with my feet for 15 singles could get tedious.

9:50 All this LSD training is slowing me down!

All thrusters unbroken, Pull ups with 1/4 bodyweight was a cheeky evolution.

Warmed up with OH Squat for the challenge. Did 15 reps with 45kg (56% bodyweight). Might do better on this challenge than the last.

~ 13:00...had some technical difficulties trying to use a powerblock dumbel for the weighted pullups and had to rig up a plate with a rope around my waist. Pullups were all broken none the less.

I like the dumbbell work to help planches and planche presses. I've been working planche push-ups for a short-time and they are nice addition the warm-up. If you have not visited Roger H's Drillsandskills website, I highly recommend you do.

Larry

Workout in 9:12. Followed by about 10:00 of lying on the floor, heavily mouth-breathing and wishing this winter cold wasn't stuffing up my nose.

Bw=250

I used 50# DB for the thrusters the entire workout, but had to cut down the pullups for the second and third sets to 35# DB. I couldn't even pull myself up anymore. Guess this is another thing to practice. Thanks Coach and Lauren for keeping me level headed!

9:48:62

12:30

BW=148

Used 30# DBs for thrusters and pullups.

All thruster sets unbroken.

All pullups heavily broken (3's, 2's, and 1's).

8:36
BW 210
45 lb Db's for thrusters sets unbroken
Tried & died 45 lbs on pull ups
Dropped to 25 and got 8 broken reps. Finally had to drop to just BW in order to finish workout.

7:15

BW: 205
45lb dumbells
SAT WOD.

Many of the posted times are truly amazing!
178-pound BW, used 40# for the thrusters and 25# for pull-ups. Pull-ups are tough enough even without added weight!
Time was 16-minutes. I could probably use a sundial to keep track of some of my WODs.

Warm up:
3 rounds samson, situps, diamond dogs pushups.
5k run

WOD:
30lb db's (a little over 1/5th), broken only on set 2 of pullups. Time = 6:28

Cool Down:
5x 2-rep rounds of OHS:
2x 105
2x 115
1 stumble, 2x 120
1x 120, 1 fail, 2x 120
2x 120

I got you bet Fred! Worst time today so far!

20:35
BW 170
I used 25# because that's all I have, and I increased the reps.
DBT 20, 16, 12 unbroken
Pull-ups 20, 16, 12

My pull-ups are definately my weak point. I had broken sets since the beginning. Never did more than six. They were way more difficult with the counter weight than I thought they'd be. Man, I need alot of work and more sleep.

7.15

Used 35 lb dumbbells on thrusters and pullups.
Pullup sets all broken.

8:55

Weight: 195 lbs.

Used 30 lb. dumbells on thrusters (1/6.5 Body Weight)

Pull-up Sets Broken. (No Weight)

12:15

did wall ball 15 12 9
pull ups no weight
10-5 6-6 5-4

liked it- pullups getting better

Good workout. I enjoyed it more than my wife did. she decided to tag along today and puked on the last D. Thrust. then finished it. She's not to happy with you WOD guys. LOL

8:48 40lb DB's

BW: 225
No DB so did 90# Barbell Thrusters all unbroken
Pullups all very broken

time: 9:30

20 pound dumbells for thrusters
pull ups were a mix of weighted (5lbs), regular, and jumping

12:20

Body Weight 147 lbs
30 pound Dumbbell thrusters
30 pound weighted pullups

25 lbs dumbells, 25 lbs plate attached to my waist. 2 sets all the way, and one of pull ups broken in two.

3:15

7:23

BW: 159; 35lb DB's

BWT=225
17:13

Thrusters as rxed w/45# broke sets in 1/2

Pullups w/40# backpack (nice idea Will)
1st pullup of every set was from the hang. After that, all broken, at least in half, with a little jump to help out.

~15:00

BWT: 200; 40# db's

All thruster sets unbroken. All pullups were very broken. I found that on that last set if my focus wavered for just a second at the beginning of the pull I was done. Once I regained focus, was able to struggle through.

This was one of those horizon expanding workouts where you end up with a whole new perspective on your personal limits.

BW - 215, used 45# dumbbells (and got smoked by lighter guys using the same weight). Thrusters 'easy', pull-ups hard - doubles and triples by the end. Time was 11:34.

18 minutes, BW 185#, used 37# DBs for thrusters and about 32# of weight in a bike messenger bag for first 6 pull-ups, then dropped to 27#. All pull-ups doubles and singles, I've never done weighted pull-ups before. I did a few regular pull-ups at the end, they were suddenly very easy.

5:44 - 115# bwt 26# kbs for thrusters, 26# kb for weighted finger pullups

Thrusters done to 11" box each rep, no breaks.

I've wanted to do a weighted pullup WOD for a long time, but doing them using three fingers per hand hurt....breaks on all pullup sets to massage my aching fingers.

OH squats using bar with 2 second pause at rock bottom, all done VERY carefully to keep the bar off the outside of my left hand:
45x3
55x2
60x2
65x2

4x12 double 26# kb C&J, 1 minute rest between sets

4x5 clubbell Taskmasters per hand, 10# with right, 5# with left. Left side done slow and careful for to retain the skill.

1x3 36# kb TGUs

Kelly, you are a serious badass.

12 min
40Lb dbls for both
ass to the calfs squats
pull ups broken into 3rds..full range
Toughest for me is keeping a good grip on the dumbells.Any special trick to grip/racking them?

205lbs.
40# db thrusters
40# 1st set up plu's (15 sets of 1)
dropped to 20#'s for rest of plu's
16:54

Again, the fact that you all finish is amazing me.

Finally completed 3 rounds of warm-up before starting WOD:

OHS 10 reps/round
push-ups 15 reps/r
box jumps (20") 30 rps/r
sit-ups 20 rps/r

For WOD
weight 190lb
used 40 lb dumbbells

5 thrusters/5 pu's
4 thrust/4 pu's

dropped to 25 lb dumb b's
5 thrust/7 pu's

decided to do some tgu after that with barbell unweighted (45 lbs)...completed 3...then did various exercises...

Aush

This was a great workout!

35lbs DB thrusters, butt to hams, no breaks, the thrusters felt easy...
I broke the first set of pullups into 3sets of 5 with 35 lbs in my backpack...the last set ended up being 3+2, so I dropped to 25lbs for the next sets, second set was 4+4+3+2, and the last set was 3+3+3...for me the thrusters felt like a rest...I accidentaly timed my warmup too, did warmup and WOD in 19:25...
I've never done weighted pu's before, by the end my lats felt like they were gonna Xplode!

forgot to mention (since everyone else did) BWT 180

Started with the crossfit warmup minus the pullups, ended up with a WOD time of 9:45 with 40# pound dumbbells for thrusters and 40# worth of plates strapped around my waist with a tie down strap. I finished off with the core strength test

BWT 180

35lb thrusters, no beaks
BWT PUs, 1) 10,5 2)4,4,4 3)3,3,3

13 minutes

I obviously need to work on my PUs!

bwt=190#
2x 40# dumbells for thrusters; 40# of plates for pull-ups (21% of bwt)

For time:
15,12, and 9 rep rounds of:
Dumbbell Thruster (15/12/9)
Pull-ups (4,3,2,2,2,2/3,2,2,2,2,1/2,2,2,1,1,1)
TOTAL TIME= 11:43

Wanted to get under 10min, but the pull-ups put a stop to that goal!

BW=182
used pair of 16k(35-36lbs) kb's for thrusters & 1kb for the chins
thought I'd be able to hook the kb handle with my foot and go but this proved to be difficult. never did more than 5 consecutive chins without it slipping off of my foot.
Time = 5:13
followed that w/tuesdays wod 3 rounds 500m row & 50 dips. Time 10:07

BW=175lbs
DBs=35lbs
Time=11:45
Pullups were mostly singles, doubles, and triples.

8:58. BW 215. Used 40lb dumbells for thrusters. Sets were broken. Still using pullup assist. I decreased the assist to 40lb, but should have done 30 or 20.

Josh Everett: HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!! To paraphrase the Army: He did more in 15 minutes than most people do all day; all month; all year!
Nice to see that Ryan and I share the same bodyweight; just wish I had his % of body fat. I have a feeling mine is slightly higher!
BW 215: Used 40lb db's as 45 wasn't going up on the pull ups!
Time: 12:31
Could have been lots faster but I tried resting during the pu's to get higher on the pull. Chin got to the bar, most of the time. Thrusters were challenging, if not so deep!
Will H.: I actually should have written my Clubber Lang quote like this:
Announcer: Any predictions for the fight Clubber?
Clubber: PAINNNNNNNN
Love that Mr. T!

BW 165
35 lb DB
6:53

Ouch.
Used 33# dumbells for thrusters and PUs. Only last set of thrusters unbroken. Pull ups very broken. Came in with a pretty slow 22:10, though by the last PU the weight on my toes felt like enough to seriously bend space-time and affect my stopwatch. Yeah- I wish. Smoked and spat out by this WOD.

BW 238
Thrusters and pull-ups with 50lb d-bell.
15:58 pull-ups much tougher than I thought
can't kip, lol.

As Rx'ed

15:06

BW=179 db=35

Found some inner strength on last set of thrusters to bust them through. For the first time, I feel like I'm "getting it." Wanted to do more (once my heart rate slowed back down to triple digits).

Mike Donnelly

BW=175
I used 35lbs, but I quickly realized that I needed to drop some weight on the pullups. Over the three sets, I dropped from doing them with 35lbs, 25lbs, and then freeweight. It took around 20 min. By the way, I am amazed at some the posted times. Someday I hope to finish a WOD in 5 minutes.

Ouch. My sets were broken and the weight had to go down. I decided towards the end do one extra set of each exercise because of the low amount of weigth i had to use.... workout went as follows.... I found some strength towards the end of my pullups for some reason.

20:32

Thrusters: 12@35pnds 12@30pnds 8@25pnds 10@20pnds
Pullups: 8@10pnds 5@0pnds 7@-20pnds 9@-20pnds

weigh 215, did the thrusters with 45Lb which went OK, though not real deep. Convinced myself unfortunately to just do the PU's unweighted, all sets of PU's broken in two. 11:35. Still trying to balance speed and the prescibed weight but in retrospect wish I had given a go to the weighted PU's, though I might still be at the gym now.

Rick,
As long as you complete the WOD, is all good!

kls: 6:26 with 30#db and 5#extra on pull ups
las:8:09 with 20#db and no extra weight on pull ups
first day i attempted pull ups-all but three were jumping negatives . had an audience at the gym which did not make for a fun workout plus it was hot as crap in there. arms are already weak from the workout.

brutal workout, my time was 15:53

BW: 96kg

Thrusters used 20kg DB, R1: 9,6reps, R2: 7,5reps, R3: 6,2,1reps

Chins the 20kgs was too big for me, I used a 10kg plate for all reps
R1: 6,6reps R2: 5,4,3reps and R3: 3,3,3reps

Weather report, it probably hit 30 degrees C before 9am, heavy thunder storms over the last couple of days has put humidity at around 90%. I had to slap the repellent on to combat the mozzies and fly's in my back yard gym, exercised in shorts and sandals, gotta love QLD, AUS......:)

Good times. First workout in two days D/T 70 hours of work over the last six days. Glad that's over. Come to think of it, glad this WOD is over too.

BTW=150. 34lb dumbells. 30lbs of leg weights. Ring pullups. 07:40.

BW=168

Used 35#DBs (rounded up slightly, which was foolish. Think I've been reading Matt G's posts too long).

Like many others, the thrusters (can't believe I'm about to write this) were...easy?

Pullups...very very hard. My clever idea of putting a 35# plate in a backpack backfired. The shoulder straps cut off all the circulation to my arms. I started with triples, then doubles, then singles. Resting between reps was no rest, because I couldn't get any blood to flow underneath the straps.

Time was around 12min. Watch said 10 but I accidentally hit the off button during a thruster set.

A comedy of errors to say the least.

Warm up:
skipping, 5x2 minute rds., walking lunges, push-ups 10x2, crunches 10x2
I win the award for the worst time.
Around 25 mins. That time includes a "personal trainer" coming over to bug me, to see what I was doing. Even with that, still the worst time.
bodyweight 255 lbs
thrusters 55lbs, broken

30# Kettlebell hanging on rope looped around hips for pull ups. Broken set pull-ups all. Got 5 reps in row on 1st set. 98% of pullups with palms facing me. Only a few with palms facing away. My son tried it with me today and is excited about it.

Fun Night.

J Glass-

YOU ARE AWESOME! Keep up the good work kid.

8:43. 50# dumbells, but only did bodyweight (240-ish) pullups. Just started up again after a two month layout, and every muscle in my body hurts except my hamstrings and calves. My first two pullups were agony, but I've learned that the pain subsides once you warm up.

Ran into Mark Henry in the gym today. He comes to town once or twice a year to study pro Wrestling. I mentioned to him that I had seen he had cleaned and pressed the Inch Dumbell. He said he would actually like to clean and press TWO Inch Dumbells, but his right shoulder is messed up. He was very nice. And very large.

My first post, after following most WOD's for 5 or 6 weeks.

bw=155
Around 11:30 w/ 30lb dbs for thrusters and 25lb plate hanging from chain belt for PU (realized there was no way w/ 30 after the first rep). All pu sets were broken. Didn't think I could get so tired in less than 15 minutes.

Great Job J Glass. As recommended pullup were broken. I want to meet the person that can do this in 3:15

Jonesworthy for everyone at Brand X today.

:)

20 minutes with slightly reduced reps, 20 pound db, and jump assisted pullups.

PLUS I almost got my first pullup by KIPPING! Heck I didn't think I could kip and I got about 1 inch from chin level!!! Crossfit rocks! I haven't even worked on pullups for a couple weeks. I was just trying to show how to do a kip, not really thinking I could do it. AGAIN. I will my first dead hang/kipped pullup sooooooon.

Man, those pulls were horrendous. First 7 or so were as RXed, then I dropped down to 20lbs from 27.5lbs (BW of 140). Thrusters were all exactly as RXed (and unbroken), but were still a bit more challenging than I had anticipated. And here I was thinking I'd breeze through those ones.

Pulls were an entirely different story. All sets horribly broken, and I eventually had to take as much as 45s rest to just crank out another single.

These workouts def punish those of us with a little extra fat around the middle or bigger thighs. All you 165lb guys, wtf? i haven't seen 165 since high school. you should be doing more sqauts and DLs or kickboxing to develop some leg mass....

pullups with 35 lb on a belt - mostly doubles and singles.

warmup - 3X: OH squats 5x@ 45; 15 situps; 10 back ext; 5 dips; samson stretches.

Once again, pullups are the weak spot; however, I am quite happy with getting through the thrusters in the first and third set without a break - progress!!!

BWT: 212

Used 45lb dbls for thrusters.
Attached 45lbs around my waist for pullups.

Had to drop from 40lb to 30lb after first set of thrusters. My left arm would not cooperate after all those dips yesterday.

All pull-ups without weight, but unassisted.

BW=210 => 45 lb DB's & 46 lbs in Navy seabag strapped to the front vice back...better balance for palms-facing pull ups.

thrusters unbroken, pullups all broken

11:36

swam for 30 minutes then WOD
time was 11:48

10:10

30lbs on thrusters and first set of pull-ups, no weight on last two sets of pull-ups

10:31. 35# thruster and 35# pu. some clawing at the pu's on 10-12 and 6-9

8.5 minutes, BW 155, two 30#dbs. Fun workout, hard but fun.

My brother got 21 minutes with some subs, his first WOD. Nick, if you read this then HI!

14:38

BW=180, so I used two 35# DB's.

Broken sets, very ugly, but got it done.

Pull-ups unassisted to 7 reps on 1st round, 3 reps on the 2nd and 3rd rounds. I had the DB hooked behind one knee and used the free leg for jump assistance to finish off the round. Incidently, my pull-ups bar is a swingset that's as high as my forehead, so I have to bend my knees anyway.

13:41 as prescribed with 40 lb dumbbells
BW=190
Lots of singles with the pull ups
Thrusters were all unbroken sets

Forgot to add to last input
Rowed 5000m in 22:07 after WOD

Here's one I was good at. BW 155. 30lb db's

Time: 8:05

BW 195

40lb DB's for Thrusters all unbroken
20lb for pullups all very broken

11:28

Wanted to do 40lb for pullups but would still be there.

6:58
bwt 112; 25 # dbs for thrusters, 25# plate for pullups.
Clubs to warm up; 2 hrs of snow removal to cool down.

Foolishly, I went into this with ignorant thoughts of ease! SYKE! Started with xfit warmup ...

Time: 14:02
Weight: ~210
DB Thrusters: Started off with 50# DB's; found out within 10 reps I was going down to 40's ...
All broken sets; Xfit has toasted my shoulders within the past week!
PU: I hung and attempted the first rep with a 40 on my foot and failed flawlessly; settle to a 20 and drove on. All broken sets; By the end of the workout, I was getting almost to the top and holding then more or less doing negatives.
Nevertheless, this one sucked good for me

Cooled down with HSPU attempts and spinning for 10 minutes

Modified Crossfit warmup
BW ~175

Used 40lb DBs for both thrusters and pullups (only one on the pullup though...) All sets of pulls broken.

Time: 10:20

Finished off with HSPU and spinning w/ Heath.

13:35
Bodyweight 175, 35 lb dumbells for all reps.
Ugh.
How can 2 simple exercises kick my butt so massively?
JK

8:31

Used 35lb dumbells. BW 180. I didn't do weighted pull-ups...just regular ones. Finished with some OHS for the CrossFit challenge.

9:46

BW 64.5kg. Used 13kg DB for thrusters and put 13kg of plates in a backpack for the PU.

12:21 but didn't finish reading wod, so PUs were unweighted. used 35-lb DBs for thrusters. all thruster sets unbroken.

11:30

BW 152, 35-lb DBs. Holding the DBs at the ankles added hamstring work to the pullups.

16.10
used 1/5 bw 88kgs

so 18kgs dumbells

became far far heavier than 1/5 by second set!
in second set dropped dumbell for pull-ups after 6 reps so went to bodyweight only for remainder second and third pull-up sets, still very hard

used 40lb db for thrusters
used 20 lbs in a backpack for pulls, could not do one pull with 40lbs
took 14:58

Used 32.5 # dumbbells for thrusters
subbed prone body row for pull ups...b/c I suck

15-12-9 took me a little under 8 minutes
