First here? yeah!

this seems like a great crossfit workout for me following my first rest week! herenow, i begin week 13!

Wow. I have been wondering when this workout would come up again. This one is going to be a doozy.

I won't be storming through any of this.
Plowing through is more fitting. However, I am excited to give it a try tomorrow.

Bobby Southworth! Been watching him on Ultimate Fighter on Spike TV.

Good show.

I second that Laura!!
Great show... mondays at 11:05 Est.

Do any of the other guys on the show do CF (assuming Bobby does)?

28:50

Subbed alternating one leg squats and pullups for deadlift, ring dips for benchpress, and 35kg sandbag clean for clean.

Did sets of Deadlifts and benches together and had to stop at the cleans as lower back was to sore

95# dead lifts
115# benches
30:00mins

deadlifts 130kg
bench press 87kg
cleans 65kg

42mins 02secs

only had access to 2 bars so had to strip the bar down after deadlifts ready for the cleans

I love this workout...but I'm dreading doing it at the gym I work out at. The concept of "I'm using this, I'll be right back...and no, I don't want you working in" is way too foreign for most people here.

31:37

Bwt: 70kg
Deadlift: 95kg (1.35xbwt)
Floor press: 60kg (85%)
Clean: 52.5kg (75%)

I only own 95kg so I couldn't do 105kg, not confident enough to control my bwt for the set up and set down for the floor press. Only have one bar which made this workout a little too easy with all the weight changes. On the last two rounds I used the 60kg for cleans since I was fed up of changing the plates, don't know why I didn't think of that earlier...

25:38
Bwt: 175
Deadlift: 255 (1.46%)
Bench press: 175 (100%)
Clean: 135 (77%)

I have two bars so I swapped weights out on the Deads and cleans. Worn out.

I love/hate doing the "Three Bars of Death". I workout at the YMCA and get the same attitude as you get Matt G.

BW 180
270, 180, 135, 31:36
2 min better than in November.

I had to improvise a bit...only two bars one is a 2inch thick PDA Adlemans axle which was set up for DLs off jackstands @ knee level for straight leg DLs
Ring dips instead of BWT BPS
Power hang cleans..
Anyway this was MEGABRUTAL
23:34....BWT 150

I'm not a regualr poster on here, but I do the workouts as much and when ever I can. I was promoting Crossfit on The Ultimate Fighter message boards a couple weeks back.

shaweeeeeet workout :)
does anyone here ever use the K 2 body bag (for sand bags)?

just wondering since there was a post here regarding the sand bags :)

Unfortunately (or is it fortunately?), I don't have access to a barbell and plates today. I do have my kettlebell, but that's it. So I just tried to do a workout that worked some of the same muscle groups in the same basic fashion.

I did the same rep sequence, but I used
54# kb swings
inclined pushups w/20lb backpack
54# one-armed kb snatches (10+10, 9+9, etc)

Obviously, it was a pretty far cry from "Linda," but hopefully, the next time she comes around, I'll be where I can give it a shot. It sounds like about the toughest workout I've seen in the month I've been doing CF.

27:21

BW 170
DL 185
BP 135
Clean 95

My first WOD. It's less then prescribed but it's day 1 for me. Great workout. Thanks

Lack of bars and sore back from a bad lift on last WOD forced me to do front squat/pull-up combo instead of deadlifts
other two lifts as rx'd.
~40 min accidentally shut watch off.

35:15

BW 185
DL 185 (100%)
BP 155 (84%)
SC 115 (62%)

The squat cleans wasted me big time.
You call call this "Linda" or whatever you like, it will always be the Three Bars of Death to me.

Tim

First wod in one year+....adjusted weights for my age and condition but completed all reps in @ 30 minutes. DL 88 lbs,PC 88lbs, Easy Curl bar narrow grip bench press 80 lbs. Phew!

The last time I did this workout was on 7/18/2004. My bwt was 215 lbs and my time was 1:07:19. I am 5 lbs lighter now, but I am using the same poundages as before. I took almost a half hour off my time.

deadlift 285 lbs
bench press 190 lbs

I love Linda!

This was my first Linda and I loved it. I am trashed. I can't wait to try her again in a few weeks.

Hang clean = 135
(All sets unbroken. THANKS CROSSFIT!)

Time 22:36

This is my first completed Linda. The first one I tried back in November, I could not complete. My back was so tired and sore from the previous day's workout that I couldn't complete it. Feels great to complete the workout. Awesome workout.

cf warmup x2

wow this was tough I did it at 85 lbs w/all 3
thats all I have. Basically had to adlib it kinda.

25:00 need to get a bar and weights soon

20.15 modified as follows for bad shoulder:

BW: 164
Deadlift: 185
Bench: 165
Hang Clean: 85

How 'bout it, Bubba?

Doin this one tomorrow, if time allows. But seeing Bobby Southworth's pic makes me wonder if he was the winner of the TV show. Just wondering, since he is wearing the UFC logo, which I would assume he'd have to, to promote the company.

BTW I love this workout.

Pulled my lower back doing Friday's workout. Didn't do much to heal it and it's still tender and impeding flexbility, so not going anywhere near deadlifts or cleans today.

Going to do :

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
bw bench press
35 pound bicep curl
25 pound dumbpell shoulder flies

I did the WOD as follows:

Deadlift= 100,100,and no more...my back was fried.

Bench Press= 100,100,145,145,145,145,145,145,145,150.

Clean=100,100,100,100,100,100,frog jumps 5,5,5,5.

I'm not even going to get into the long, protracted rant that I really need to get out...

The work was accomplished, in the correct order and at the recommended loads. Metabolically I'm sure I kept things humming...however, things were so fractured, and so many "placeholder" exercises (pushups, pullups, box jumps, etc.) were done to keep HR up while waiting for my stations (thank you, a**hat "bodybuilders") that the time is totally meaningless.

Ever have a workout where you leave the gym actively hating everyone else that works out there? That's me right now.

1:07:35. 245 Bwt. Had to make deadlift 1.25 x bodyweight, so 305/245/185. No belt, although I would have liked one. Back quite sore, but I made up a spray bottle of YBF solution, and it got me through. I literally did.

Matt,
Feel your pain. last time I did "3 bars of death" I had the same problem. I usually curse the guys doing the "shrugs" with the oly bars!

Luckily, today I decided to play 8 games of 2-on-2 bball for 2 hours. One guy met Pukie!! I was fresh and ready to go after game 8! Linda has to wait until tomorrow.

Matt G.,

I know what you mean. Trying to occupy 3 oly bars is pretty tough in a gym. I got lucky today. There are very few people in the gym on Sunday.

Did chelsea +1 instead of this one. Back is still acting up.

Yeah, unfortunately Sunday here is a big day in the gym. Memphis is one of the most unhealthy cities in the US...during the week the gym is practically deserted. On the weekends, I end up way outnumbered by all the pseudo-bodybuilders and the moms and dads who decide it's time to bring the kids to the gym (I'm not joking) to teach them how to work out. Plus they don't open until 1pm and they close at 5pm...so everyone is trying to jam in at once. I really do try to be good-natured and share always...but occasionally I need to not share. Unfortunately that just doesn't compute when trying to explain to a "social lifter" why you're trying not to rest.

What really got my goat today was when I was asked by a group of 3 "social lifters" if they could work in on the bench (big surprise); I politely said no and tried to explain why (trying to go with zero rest). At this point the 3 of them each grabbed a 5lb. weight and standing no more than 3 ft. from the bench, began doing arm circles to "warm up" and shooting me dirty looks. That was on the round of 9. I decided I wasn't going to deal with that BS and just gave 'em the bench..I moved to DBs @ 85lbs. on a flat utility bench.

I'll go back to this WOD as an extra sometime in the next week or so and rip it out properly to see what I can do.

I threw the metabolic baby out with the bath water on this one. All exercises done with 105#, a little over 75% bw, and it still took about 45 minutes.

This was a tough workout. I loved it.

I was hoping that I could of managed to do this all as RX'd but I just plain old suck at BP, a great workout nonetheless. I came out of the gym covered in blood, chalk and sweat.

As I tortured myself through this WOD I occasionally looked around a the gym at all the other people there that were simply wasting there time doing the same old body builder crap routines. If they only knew...
I'd also like to say thanks to the Glassmans and anyone who has made a contribution to CrossFit in anyway for making me have to go through this excruciating WOD for the betterment of me.

Time: ~40 min <- Had to use clock on wall
BW:184
DL:275 until my grip was shot at 6 then 250
BP:185

My grip was a huge limiting factor on this one. I suck at dl's.

no metabolic stuff today, totally grip and rip..

bw= 74kg

dl= 100kg
bp= 70kg
cl= 50kg

time= 32:50

this hurt a lot and belchy was an ever present training buddy.

oh yeah, trained here at 8.30pm cos i knew i wouldn't be able to get on 3 oly bars......surprisingly i was the only one in the gym!

i feel your pain on the other idiots in the gyms bro's...

"Linda Lite," or "1 bar of death"
31:26

Had a bench, 1 bar, and all the plates I needed to myself, but couldn't get 3 set up, so a fair amount of time moving plates around. Figured out real fast that I wasn't going to be able to DL and clean what I thought I could.

DL: 145 for the 10 reps, 115 for the rest
BP: 115 for the 1st 10, 145 for the rest
Clean: 95 for all sets

time:39:14

BW:225
DL:225 all unbroken
Bench:225 (5,5;5,4;4,4;4,3,3,3;3,2;4;3;2;1)
Cleans:170 same brakedown as bench

Lower back was very sore so dropped weight on deads

I'm new to Crossfit - first week in. Although I'm in decent shape, this is such a welcome change from regular weight lifting! I was lamenting just last week about what to do when you have all the muscle you want but still need to go to the gym. Enter Crossfit, thank god! Did todays WOD with pretty light weight just to get the hang of these new excercises...great fun and challenge. Anyone have any great advice for a rookie?

Funny story - I saw a guy doing hang cleans, and assumed he was CRer - who else does them, right? Well he wasn't, but I told him to check out the site.

CF WU x 2 (11:00 min with a 200m run)

BW=200
Should have been:
DL 300
BP 200
CL 150

I went with 75% of WOD - to get through it:
DL 225
BP 75 DB (lack of bench, usual gym issues)
CL 135 (at 75% it should have been 112.5, but I had to use the same bar for DL, so taking off one plate was easier)
38:34

Thanks!

This is still my first week doing CF WOD's. I thought I was in shape until I started this! This whole program is awesome!

As I had guessed, my throat infection came back and bit me in the butt. I'm working through another, stronger round of antibiotics in an effort to catch this one before it gets as bad as last time, when I was hospitalized and they had to lance and drain my throat. Good times all around. Anyways, the drugs leave me dehydrated and give me digestive problems, so I'll be sticking to GTG stuff for at least another day.

Rocked out on pullups today, a set of 10 on the quarter of the hour...hit 250 so far.

1st time doing this and I way under-estimated my strength.

I weigh 175, but for this workout, I pretended that I weigh 135. So...

DL=205
BP=135
Clean=100

Time=28:25

I felt I could have pushed myself harder or raised the weight some, but it was still a great workout. Next time, I'll raise the weight and try to beat 28 minutes. My clean form needs a great deal of work as well.

***On a side note, I think it is AWESOME that MMA fighters train crossfit. I've loved the UFC since it began, and I love crossfit! The most intense and exciting sport coupled with the most intense and exciting training. Two great tastes that taste great together! Go Bobby Southworth! I was already a fan of his, but now that I've seen his picture here on Crossfit, I'm even more impressed. I now hope he wins the The Ultimate Fighter! Everyone should check it out tomorrow night on Spike TV!

Sorry for the rant; I'm think I'm a little amped up from the WOD :)

Linda:

BW: 165
DL: 165 x 1 set (100%)
DL: 115 x 9 sets (70%)
BP: 135 x 10 (82%)
CL: 115 x 10 (70%)

26 minutes

deadlifts and bench presses were too light, but that allowed me to keep a relatively quick pace of calm even sets. yeah, i still have that silly adversion to having to violently gasp for air.

unbroken sets, except for the first 2 Clean sets.

next time i'll go heavier, harder and faster!

Hi team,

Had to do major sub-age since my only equipment is a chin/dip station and heavy bag. I do have a 12lbs. bar that I practice my Olympic form with so I integrated that in as well.

10 x 10
SDLHP + Inverted Pullups
Pushups(rotated between Atlas, Regular, Elevated)
Cleans + Jump Squats

Rested 1min between each triple.

Can anyone tell me what the "CF Warmup" is? Is it the one described in the #8 CF Journal?

Also in the past week I read, per Crossfit recommendation, "The Zone" by B. Sears and two books on the paleolithic diet - "NeanderThin" and "The PaleoDiet". Awesome nutritional info. I implemented the foods/protocols 4 days ago and took starting BF/LBM/waist measurements. At the two week mark I'll do it again and post results.

Thank you

Paul, from the main page, go to 'Lynne Pitts' Official Crossfit FAQ', scroll down to the heading, 'What's the 'official crossfit warmup'. Use this amazing document for everything you can think of, crossfit-wise.

Wow...kicked my butt

Sets 9-5 were broken. I really hope to be able to get out of the rack tomorrow.

Also, you find the above-mentioned FAQ down the right side of the main page at the top of the heading, 'Friends of Crossfit'. When thanking Lynne for all of the information contained in the FAQ, please don't spell her name 'Lynn'... ;)

This just didn't happen today. I am going to make it up during the week though.

i almost passed out today. couldn't see anything or hear for 5-10minutes. i don't ususally work out much. so take it easy if you are just starting the workouts.

Sympathies to all of you commercial gym lifters; to Rachel the newbie with "all the muscle she wants" - send the extra to me!
JSP - I don't know you, but I'm having fun picturing your throat infection biting your butt...quite the flexible guy, eh? ;^)
And please take 2 min off Jim Butts' time for the spelling plug!

Thank you Crossfit!

Had to only use one bar as I was in the Madison Ave New York Sports Club and so the majority of my 42 min time was spent changing weights

But thank you Crossfit because I did all sets unbroken at Deadlift 185#, Bench 135#, Power cleans 95# (bw 165lb). I can guarantee that three months ago, before I started Crossfit, this would have absolutely killed me.

Lynne-
Funny stuff! Thanks for cheering my day up a bit; it's getting kind of dreary here. An odd feeling, monitoring my throat to make sure it doesnt close up again (which was scary enough when I didn't know it could happen).

Matt G.,

Have you tried the Powerhouse Gym there? I worked out there a couple times, and they had a mess o' benches, and a deadlift loader. They even had a rower with a broken meter.

What a suckfest my training partner both just moved from the east coast to one mile above sea level and have been doing crossfit for the two weeks we've been here and I love it but lastnite we took our wives out for a drink and it became a s**tload of drinks We did the WOD but it took about an hour and managed to keep pukie in his cage

Noah

Did this one today after deadlifting yesterday. Last time I did this WOD I couldn't do the reps or the weights. This time I just couldn't do the weight.

John bw 195lb, dead 225lb (115%), bench 175 (90%), clean 115 (59%), time 52:00
Joe bw 180lb, dead 175 (97%), bench 155 (86%), clean 95 (53%), time 46:18

The YMCA wasn't too crowded today. Plus me and Joe were going round and round so only one of the bars was free at a time.

"One bar of death" doesn't work nearly as well...

One of my training partners turned me on to this site,as I have to get in better athletic condition. This was my first crossfit WOD. It really kicked my arse. I didn't focus as I should on total time, as I was trying to catch my breath.

Hang Cleans: 10-3, 83.3kg 2-1, 92.3kg (with Jerk)

I haven't done any DLs in over 2 years, and as a hammer thrower, my coach only wants cleans, clean & jerks, and snatches done from the hang position just above the knee. I am looking to get down to 12% body fat. I am looking forward in a devilish way to this new training regime.

Attempted the "Three Bars of Death" got the "Three Bars of My Mother Yelled at Me and Made me Stop" because failed on rep 8 of BP 85# and had to get her to help me lift that puppy off me.

LOL.

Next time, I'll try it with 75#.

meep.

Is there a bodyweight exercise (hang to inverted hang?) that can substitute for deadlifts?

I did deadlifts at 205#, bench presses at 135#, and hang power cleans at 100#. Time 33:20, BW = 185#.

I didn't think the day would come when I could do Linda at full weight in under a week. Suprisingly, that came today. 2 hours at MMA first.

BTW=150.

Cleans off the floor at first rep and hung for the rest. Curl bar deads. Everything broken until 3.

35:01.

-D.

I used a bodyweight of 140# (actual~165). Time: 29:25. Since the clock was ticking, I did power cleans.

Last time I tackled the 3BoD, I used a BW of 135 and it took me 70 minutes, so I've improved slightly since then. Thanks Crossfit.

Deads were the weak link.

BW 215
DL 285
bench 215
clean 135

got through the round of 10 and 9 (by the 30 minute mark), then I couldn't move the deadlift any more and the bench was taken over by someone else (was down to singles), so I finished with a few more cleans and then skeddadled. I guess driving 14 hours over the course of the previous 2 days is not good for the body. Next time I'll learn to lighten the load further and not let my ego run (then ruin) the workout.

Quoth my father: "If you could do countdowns with 300, you'd be training in Vegas, not Tulsa."

I agreed and did a round of Tabatas:
Pushups 42
Jumping Pull Ups 38
Squats 72
Crunches 96

Reverse hypers and press ups are helping with the back pain from Friday. Start of another fine week.

Ouch, ouch, ouch...

"3 Bars of Death" became "1 Sandbag of Death". Used a 30 KG sandbag for the whole lot, did front squats, push-ups with sandbag on back (I hate these, it's as though someone's pushing down on your back with a giant foot) and sandbag cleans. Had to keep stopping to retie sandbag.

My goal was less than 30 min and hit 29:40. Whew. First triplet was 4:30 so I thought I was in trouble...found myself almost running station to station in the end...

Great WOD, although my lower back is sore. I had only 2 bars so I had to add and dump weight throughout.

28:30

This is my first WOD! Sheesh! Dont know if I'll ever be able to do those reps at the Rx'd weight (except for the Cleans), so I adapted:

BW 115
weights should have been: DL 172, BP 115, C 86
2 bars

PC: 88/10-6,93/5,98/4,108/3,118/2,128/1 hmm, maybe they should have been squat cleans?!

Does broken sets mean, you had to stop between sets? If so, some were broken to change weights(that I was having a hard time keeping track of about halfway through! I was getting delirious!)

Wow! What a rush!

oops, forgot my time, still delirious: est. 50mins

Veronica: Yes, "broken sets" generally means the exerciser had to stop to catch breath / recover (due to either strength or metabolic failure) before continuing. Most CrossFit prescriptions should ideally be done continuously . . . purists will say that even a half-second re-grip is a foul.

That said, most of us have to break it up somewhere. I certainly do . . . all my sets above 5 reps were broken on this workout.

Hi everybody.
This is my first time on the comments board. I live in Salisbury in the UK and have been using the CF website for about a month now I'm hooked, the WOD have been some of the most challenging I have ever done!!
Linda was the first one I have timed here are the results not sure whether they are good or bad.

BodyWeight 77kg
Dead Lift 115kg
Bench75kg
Clean55Kg
Time 27:33
This was a killer I can see why you call it the three bars of death

thanks David! So if I stop to reload weight, are they technically 'broken'?

Mark Hawthorn-

Welcome. That is a great time for Linda. Sounds like you have a good road ahead of you.

-D.

Hard one. I am smoked, now I have to go for a run.
Deadlift #345
Bench #230
Clean # 175
Time 39:03
The deads were broken all over after the first set.

22:45 as written,hang cleans

43:20
This worked me just as it did last time. I've been neglecting the dealifts and it shows.
BW=242
Deadlifts- 305 (55lbs short of 1.5 x BW)
Bench- 245 (easy)
cleans- 180 (only a couple of broken sets-fairly easy)

WOW what a WOD
BW195
DL 205 BP 155 CLN 115 all unbroken, should I have used more weight?
18:09

Grip strength became a factor around set 5.
Only had 2 bars so had to load and unload often.

38:37
BW 185
DL 275 (Broken first few sets)
BP 185 All unbroken
Power cleans 145 (first few sets broken)

Tuff workout!!!

BW: 200

DL: 225
BP: 185
Cleans: 135

minimal rest; finished at 41:22.

form not that great on DL, but working on it.

oh yeah, never, under any circumstances, eat a bowl of chili two hours before working out. not a good idea!

bwt 180
time 34:27
dl 275
bp 185
cleans 135
All set were unroken

bwt 150 height 5'8 ( Following WOD one day behind)

Time (betwwen 34 and 37 minutes watched messed up on me).
Dl 185 ( Just Right for this many reps)
BP 135 ( Easy, I'll try Bodyweight next time)
Cleans 95 ( could have done 115 at least next time)
Man some of you guys are putting up so much weight for so many reps, I felt good after doing this WOD but after looking at some of your posts I feel like a wimp.

Time = 51:18
Previous Linda (TBOD) = DNF at 45 min.

BW = 223#
DL: 320# (142%)
BP: 185# (83%)
Cl: 155# (70%)

Total = 36,300# (new PR for any workout, ever!)
= 163x BW
= 3.2x BW/min

Nice time T.Rain ! Whoosh !! Alex is toast...

19:26, but....

WIMPY LINDA!!! I'm so ashamed.
Here are the puny details:

BWT: Husky 200#
DL: 215# (108%)
BP: 135# (68%)
CL: 90# (45%)

The only thing that felt light was the bench press (The lift I have the most experience with).

Did this late on a rest day, kept it light and fast and tried to improve on form.

BWT - 190
DLs - 225 1st 10, then dropped to 205 to improve form and speed. Half sets broken
BP - 225 (*on Universal type machine)unbroken
PC's - 105, unbroken

Lost bench on 3 count, kept clock running and did 2 X 5 deep dips while waited and an extra 5 when it became free.

Time: 17:44

BW=210, DL=315(150%), BP=210(100%), PwrCln=155(74%)
10=11:15, 9=20:20, 8=28:40, 7=36:29, 6=43:56 Total...ran out of time.

54:38 as Rx'd !!!!!!!!!!!!

BW=64.5kg

DL=97.5kg = 1.511xBW
BP=65kg = 1xBW
CL=48.75 = 0.7558xBW

Only done this WOD once before (prior to it having a name) back in Jul last year. Then I could not complete it. Previously I used:

DL=1.33xBW
BP=0.8xBW
CL=0.65xBW

and stopped after the round of 5 in 1:04:48.

So this was a *vast* improvement. BP is still the killer with this WOD. The deads were manageable, cleans went up like they were nothing, but I had to grind out the BP in sometimes singles.

Posting for later reference - actually did the WOD 2/28:
BW 175lb, but I'm a bit on the weaker side, so the weights were:
DL - 190
BP - 150
Cleans - 120

Time: 27:58. Ouch. Most of the cleans were in sets of "1 or 2 hang cleans, then from the deck" but not horrible form.

Time: 19:00

Used 2 24kg KB for DL, push ups, and 1 24kg KB for clean.

Time 29:35 BWT=165

DL 265 lbs
BP 182 lbs
Cleans 138 lbs

Bw 185
DL 275
BP 185
Clean 135

1:07:43 Last 4 set sof bench were dropped to 135

BW=183 (In error I've been posting BW=175, first time I weighed myself in two months)

DL=280
BP=185
CL=135

All sets unbroken. Majority of time spent loading/unloading bars.
