I'm glad y'all remembered the "e"...God only knows what kind of wrath would have been brought down on us if you'd forgotten ;)

Is there a time component, or can we take as long as we want??

You remember how every clique had that one pushy kid? At Crossfit North, that kid is Michael Street.

Noah...no "official" time component here, though in the spirit of CF rest should probably be kept reasonably brief. Typically I go no rest between bench and pullups...then 1 minute between pullups and bench (i.e. between rounds).

i was wondering where my chest went.

I was just thinking last night, "Hmm, I bet we do chest tomorrow..."

hmm, would pushups be an ok sub for bench?

Nick,
Make yourself a wwMSd bracelet!

*What would Michael Street Do?*

:)

He never ceases to amaze me.

Steven N,

Just to offer a different point of view, I'm pretty sure that the folks putting the workouts together don't think in terms of body parts like chest, back, etc. That kind of thinking, while pervasive in the bodybuilding community, largely misses the point regarding the purpose (and effect) of training.

Mike

Am I missing something to the bodyweight bench press, or is it simply loading as much as you weigh onto the bar?

i think wide arm push ups are the best substitute for a pull up. and i believe its bodyweight bench press until you fatigue for that round.

Mike,

I was thinking more along the lines of that there hasn't been a chest-type workout in sometime. I did miss the April Fools WOD so the last time I really worked my chest was the 3/25 WOD.

I've already tossed aside the notion of working body "parts" on different days.

I'm pretty well sold on CrossFit!

Joe,

Yes, load the bar with a weight that matches (or comes close to matching) your bodyweight. Do as many benchpresses as possible followed by as many pullups as possible. Rest (no time limit on rest) and then repeat until five rounds are completed.

I can only do a handful of bwbp at a time. Should I sub a lower weight or just go forward with a single-digit number of bwbp? Thanks

TK
Others may tell you different, But, like you, I can only do single digit BP numbers, but I go ahead and do them anyway. If you're only able to do one or two, right at the beginning set, I would say then, yes, drop your weight.
Steveo

I used half the weight, I was pretty sore the past couple days from CF and extra-curricular exercise. Sets of 25/20/15/10/5 75#BP and 75#pulldowns. It takes a lot of mental effort for me to tone down the WOD willingly! Too much pride or something.

Is this workout for maximum total reps, or maximum reps in each round (ie each round taken to failure)?

Are dips a better sub than pushups if we don't have a spotter for bench press? It's a different range of motion, but they are exacctly bodyweight...

I am suprised I can even type after that.

Lynne Pitts,

I believe this Lynne somehow got left of the "girls" portion of your FAQ page, or maybe I just glossed it over to fast...

anyway FYI, hopefully I can get to this today, second fav girl.

You'll always be my #1 Chelsea...

Funny, 'Lynne' didn't come to CrossFit today, instead there was this new person with no name, very unkind, aggressive character that enjoyed causing a fair amount of pain:
30 minutes of 15 reps of Burpee/Hang Clean/DB thrusters, 20 situps, 400m sprint
4.3 rounds completed for me, some completed 7. Very difficult class today, Neal.

Hey Ya'll

Day off slept in...NO PT!!! So, I went to the Gym this evening and did my dead lifts that I missed from earlier in the week.

I couldn't remember the routine except I think there were lots of 5's.

having not done dead lifts ever I started lite and went up.

135-5 easy! good form..so...
155-5 same thing..
175-5 same thing...
200-5 tough but felt good.
220-5 5 over current body weight...that hurt.
210-1 that really hurt.
200-5 tough

All bench press done on smith machine. I have Poland Syndrome (no right pectoralis major, deformity to right tricep, brachioradialis), so I need the assurance I'm not going to go "south" with the weight.

kramer, you should post that question on the message boards if you haven't already - it would make a great discussion and I'd be interested to know more about it too!

Warmed up with jumprope, then:

I gained 5# over the last couple of weeks and I can sure feel it on my pull-ups. The positive side of gaining wt is when I lose it I will be even stronger and faster with my pull ups:}

Some subs: bw=123#, benched 95# on the bench press machine (did not find a spotter) and managed 5 reps each round except for the last two where I did 4 reps. I was able to do 3 pullups in a row each round! This may sound low, but a few weeks ago, I could only do 1! I need to work on my kipping so I guess I better reread the latest CFJ. Started with the usual CF warmup and ended with hollow rock and V-ups.

Good to be back after a week off.

"Lynne"
BW- 242, used 245 for the bench

3. 9 bench, 10 pull-ups
4. 7 bench, 6 pull-ups
5. 7 bench, 6 pull-ups

My grip was totally fried on the last two reps. I think it was because I haven't done a pull-up in a week.

BW 172

My bench press really sucked today. It may be that I am still recovering from the bench and rows 2 weeks ago. The last tyme we did "lynne" I was able to do 4-6 reps of BW BP per set.

Did dead hang pull-ups just to see how I would do. Pull-ups were very improved compared to last time.

BP -> 18 - 16 - 14 - 13 - 12
PU -> 22 - 20 - 18 - 18 - 17

WOD was #2 today.

Hmm. Need work on BP. But I knew that. Thought about dropping the weight a little, but decided to go ahead and do full BW on the bar - then I had to use the top of the Smith machine for pullups (like, fingertips on top of the painted top bar. Yuck.) because the gym doesn't have a real pullup bar, and I didn't feel like using the Gravitron.

So, using 175 on the Smith bar (BW=175, handily enough) and fingertip pullups:
8/8
8/7
6/5
5/5
5/4

Counting the BP reps where my elbows went below horizontal as full (not a *one* was bar-to-chest! suckage!).

So, to work on that, I did a bunch more BP with proper form, full range of motion, at 120 lb (15-12-5) and then pushups until I collapsed, not sure how many.

I'm sore now.

Ok, had to rig something up in the backyard for the bench press (don't laugh)...I estimated it was 60 - 80 pounds, so not close to bodyweight (I'm 170). Not sure if I would have been able to do bw anyhow.

My forearms are so fatigued. I am still working on kipping, but its hard on the 6x4 beam I'm doing pullups on.

whew! started w/ 175 lb bp, dropped to 155 after 1st round.

Can't bench my bw (200), I have never been able to so I thought I would use 165 instead.

1 165# 3 reps, 12 towel pull ups
2 165# 1.5 reps (failed on second), 10 towel p/us
3 135# 10 reps, 10 towel p/us
4 135# 7 reps, 6 towel p/us
5 135# 5 reps, 8 towel p/us

Finished with some Romanian Dead lift practice

5 @ 215

1) BP:75# x12,x12,x10,x10,x10
2) P/U negatives: x6,x4,x6,x6,x6,x5

Frustrating using the pull up rig I got last week. Can't kip, and the support bar is too high to do a straight pull up. Will have to find a good box to stand on to help out.

BW is 155, used 120# for bp:

"Warmed up" by sitting in a car for eight hours today. Woke up early (by my standards) for a late afternoon-night snow session at Squaw Valley. Took four hours to get there D/T traffic and weather. Arrived to find the lifts closed for the day D/T weather (good job spending three minutes to check the weather dumba$$!). Got a cup of coffee and drove home in the same conditions. This day will be forever remembered as the worst coffee run ever.

WOD Took about 15 mins. BTW=150. Rings. Dead when I started. Marginally better now, soon to be ruined by Resident Evil 4 and beers.

Bench press appears to be getting stronger. Pullups just killed me today.

Oblique Crunch on ball 3 x 15L+15R

It's funny how I do. I have a really good first set and then I die. My dad says that I do the same thing when I do submission wrestling. I come out blazing and then it's like someone throws a switch. I go from full speed to nothing. I don't have a tapering off of energy.

I was happy with my first set. The rest sucked.

I forgot to add that I rested about a minute to 1 1/2 minutes between sets.

BWT: 186

Read in 4 columns:
BP @ 190/DH pull-ups/kipping pull-ups/grip
9/15/15/wide pull
8/12/8/wide chin
7/10/15/narrow pull
6/8/12/narrow chin
4/8/12/wide pull

Completed 1 extra rep w/spot on each BP after the 1st. Grip strength was the limiting factor on pull-ups.

warmed up w/ a mile jog then rounds of squats, pushups, situps, pullups, and stretching.

pullups: 17/15/10/12/8 (evens were w/ kip, odds w/o)

rested no more than 2min bw rounds. the weight felt so light on the first round...i was totally surprised.

Numbers really sucked this time. First set was identical to the last Lynne, but I went downhill very quickly, especially on the pull-ups. For some reason, they've felt very weak lately. Hopefully I can figure out the cause of that and get it fixed.

Boy am I glad that I lost all of the weight I had. This is one of those WODs that make it good to be thin.

Lynne is one of the hardest workouts for me. I nearly puked, and felt really bad for about half an hour later.

Very sad effort. My numbers were much worse than last "Lynne".

My girlfriend Karen joined me - since she's new to CF I took it easy on her and just got her to do 10 knee push-ups and 10 ring rows per round. Soon the intensity will be upped a notch or two....! ;-)

Sorry, I should have said "weighted push-ups subbed for BP..."

PR for bench, 7 reps up from 7 and consistently better throughout.

Pullups, same max, but fewer reps in following rounds than previous "Lynne". All pullups, slow, controlled on rings - think I might do "Lynne" with kipped bar pullups next time.

No kipping on the pulls.
