I'm not sure I've ever had the pleasure of Angie's company before, so I'm gonna ask:

I'm thinking that we're supposed to complete all of the reps for a given exercise before moving on to the next exercise...correct?

I think I need some clarification on that too b/c I was just going to do pyramids of 10 for each one and mix them together.

A review through the message board shows that you complete 100 pullups, then 100 pushups etc., etc., etc.

(Hey, I'm not lookimg forward to it any more than you guys are.)

Mike Donnelly

Ever since I saw the list of "The Girls" I've been waiting for Angie to come along. I hope she's gentle.

In the time it took me to write that last message, Matt G. completed Angie...
Matt G. you are a CrossFit animal.

the "poor step child"...sweet.

I'm back.
14:20

ANGIE vs ANGINA ? 100 of everything

14:16
I guess I dont need a tredmill ST this year ..welcome back Todd H

23:29
still can get a pullup
pulldowns-70
pullups assisted-30
pushups-sets of 25x4
situps-sets of 50x2
squats-sets of 50 x2
and a 20 min run at the end

44:35 as Rx'd

Not stellar, but 5 months ago it took me an hour to get 50 pullups. Got the 100 pulls in 21 min. this morning. It was all coasting after that.

What kinda squats is everyone doing? Normal or overhead??

Are assisted pull ups ok?

15:09

First time with Angie. Welcome back Todd!

It looks like Greg caught that one a bit to the front. It might be the coaching.

18:49
New Pullup PR of 40
Never thought I would be better at pullups than pushups, which took me the longest.

I have never had the "pleasure" of meeting Angie either. I hope our meeting stays friendly.

Phew! 13:56. I am glad that I am good at push ups and situps, cause pull ups suck for time!

First time with Angie
WOD 19:37 but swung arms on squats
Gina 23:13
Squats perfect form and set of 100

Hey Kristi...

These are "air" squats. No additional weight, just your body.

33 minutes.

felt heavy this morning. could have been that nasty chinese food late last night.

pullups took about 15 minutes.

Angie... everywhere I look, I see your eyes.

12:57

I like this one. Its one of those I feel like I actually have a chance at when I see it up here.

Was that "Theee" RUTMAN posting a comment???

Nothing like trying to complete Fran with Grady Mac in your face and Mike Minium watching your back! Havin' fun at HQ?!?!

We'll get to Angie later on. Pull ups are at issue with my right elbow at this time.

Hi all,
Workout as follows:
Lisa- pull down (110x10x8; 6,4; 6,4)
situp (10x10)
pushup (10x10)
squat (10x10) supersetted for ten circuits Time: 19 minutes

Jon- I did the "Cherub"

Bdw. 86 kilos Until tomorrow...

Thanks Matt G, well off I go.......

14:50

First time with Angie. Tough one.

Have to hold off on the WOD till tomorrow, house hunting today!

Let's see...I wonder if I can do Angie and tomorrow's WOD in one day...I think it might kill me at this stage of the game :D

sadistic sat. with crossfit east:
"angie"
staggering starts, one finish pullups then next starts pullups etc...
finished with a seperate timed 1 pood 100 kb swing
alan cook 15:21/4:54
lance scott 14:42/5:05
phil canto 24:50/12:28
bobby knauss 21:01/14:54

Geez....total suckitude today.
24:45. Pullups took 11 minutes of that time and situps took another 5 minutes or so. Squats and pushups went fairly well.

18:10

17:28 As Px'd (Pull ups still suck!!!)

Then 60 minutes spin class with the wife (No nasty comments JF!!!!)

28:20

pullups took 16 minutes...

29:07 as Rx'd

21:19

Used rings for pull-ups.

I am a little dissapointed with my time (I was hoping to break 20), but I think that the last time I did this it took me more than 25 minutes just to do the pull-ups and those were on a bar.

It took me about 3 minutes, just to do the squats in one unbroken set.

For time:
100 Pullups - on the rings, no kip.
100 Pushups
100 Situps
100 Squats
Total time - 14:48.48

WOD was #3. Started the day with calisthenics (450 pushups, 350 Abs, 150 Pullups), second workout was a weightlifting session.

Gotta run later. I need carbs...

17:28

i was shooting for 15min going in so not too shabby. probably shouldve taken a little less down time b/w pullup sets. oh well, ill get er next time. cant wait to see your time, Matt G.

off to the pool and maybe a 1.5mi jog later.

i guess i dont have to wait...hehe.

I'm a little disappointed in my time...but given what I already did this morning I guess it's to be expected.

excuses, excuses...only kidding. its a great time w/o considering what else youve already done. add the fact that your pullups were on the rings w/ no kip AND youd already done a buttload of calisthenics and youre time begins to look very Matt G-esque. well done, killer.

Thanks e...one of these days I'm going to have to learn how to kip so I can pick up some speed.

18:58, sit-ups and squats unbroken, and I started with 20 unbroken pull-ups.

21:15

Did pull-ups on rings and my kip on rings is lousy. They took more than half of the time.

14:24

Did the WOD directly after a 5 mile run, so was a little lacking on energy and explosiveness. Disappointed that I had to break the pushups at 75; just didn't have the mojo to do a perfect 100 straight.

Slooooow

32:26

There was a jumpstretch band involved and some jumping pullups too. It wasn't pretty, but it got done!

28:36
Felt great today, pullups still my weak point, getting better. Does anyone out there have any ideas on shoulder rehab, I have bicep tendonitis, and it bothers me a little. Please help.

Pull up tough (all underhand sets of 10)
100 push-up
100 sit-up anchor feet
100 air squat
Time 35.35 1st time.

You know you are a crossfit neck if
you plant a 20ft poll in the back yard for rope climb and a pair of rings

My wife and I are hooked. Keep up the great workouts.

17:28
found this one very hard.Pull ups damned near killed me.

Shannon, I see a p.t. for what you are complaining about.
1. Lay on your back with your knees bent and your elbows out to your side at a 90 degree angle from your body.
2. loop the tubing around each hand with your palms facing each other (like a karate chop)
3. Push your shoulder blads toward your bottom
4. hold
5. Bring both hands apart until both elbows are at 90 degrees
6. move one hand down toward the floor like a karate chop. Only go about half way down and hold for 1-2 seconds. Everytime you the other should not move and you may have to make sure your shoulder blades pushed down the entire time.

I perform 10 reps with 3 sets 2 times per day. If you would like i can scan a photo of the exercise to help illustrate.

22:56

ran there and back for a warm up.

pullups took me 11 minutes

Did half of Angie today - 50 of everything. Still hurting from last week. And Angie is one hell of an intro into week three of CF....

Time : 12:37.

Broken sets of pullups (mine suck) and situps. Pushups and squats unbroken.

Pack workout @ Brand X
30 HSC with Thruster (20# dbs)
30 pull ups
Run 800M
15 HSC with Thruster (20# dbs)
15pull ups
Run 400M
9 HSC with Thruster (20# dbs)
9 pull ups
Run 200M

45 minutes

Big dog did the Bear Complex with 75# barbells in place of HSC with thrusters.

Ok so I was feeling quite 100% and it is only my 4th WOD (I know poor excuse.....)

I scaled it down to 60 of each

Pull ups (assist) 15/10/10/7.... 7 mins
Push ups 15/15/10/10/10 7 mins
Sit ups 30/15/15 5 mins
Squats unbroken

So all up about 20 mins.

Still shaking a little but seek comfort in the fact that I am not doing this alone!! Thanks for being there guys ;)

Did the Big Dog at BrandX. Not sure what the time was but I know I finished up as LauraR was leaving the Gym. The Bear will get better when I get a consistent "pop." Felt good when I did it right, like mud when I didn't. Did the pullups, broken, but I think I hit my stride with the kip. Haven't found that rhythm since the kip was deemed verbotten in '96. The running though, well, that's going to take some time. Good stuff... gonna go see if there's any seats left for the seminar May 7th.

15:06.

Blazed through the pullups, after which my biceps were decidedly opposed to the idea of repeatedly de-contracting for pushup extensions.

Strict pull-ups, no kip.
29:15

50 single arm kettlebell swings each arm. 1.5 pood kettlebell.

First time with "Angie".

Waiting to see the "three bars of death". That isnt a hint. I dont need to see it any sooner than I have too.

33:10. Half the time was the pullups. Those took a while and I need to work on kipping.

Leanne did 50 "weighted" pullups and sub'd 4-count flutter kicks for situps.

35:58

So, I'm lying in bed last night thinking about the most intimidating of the "girls" and "Angie" comes to mind - the concept of 100 pullups alone has me fearful. Little did I know that Coach is a "fitness Freddy Krueger" invading my nightmares to make them a reality!

Anyhow - first time with this lady - the rounds break down as follows:

pullups (15:36) 10 reps * 2 sets - 5*6 - 4*10 - 2*5
pushups (6:46) 30-20-15-15-10-5-5
situps (7:17) 30-25-20-15-15
squats (6:19) 25-25-20-20-10

Met pukie in a delayed manner (about five minutes after finishing) - mostly dry, but not all the way. I guess you know when you are getting older when instead of regretting heavy drinking the night before, I regret my cheat day with potato chips, hot wings, ice cream, and cookies!

30 min for WOD, elbows bugged me a bit after the 100 pull ups. 100 push ups no prob, 100 sit ups, fast, Sub'd 100 wall shots with 20lb Dynamax instead of air squats. But why you might ask? Because I just spent a fortune buying one and I had to try it out!!! Felt great, but taxing.

All you animals breaking 15min on this one, you rock!

Heinz K

22:32

Pullups took me more than 10 minutes to finish. Everything in broken sets.

Angie 19:20

It's ok Steve you're almost married, I forgive you... see you tonight for the fight

Sandy: 14'27 as prescribed
Darlene: 18'30 stopped pullups at 70, all others to 100

I dont know if i did it right because i mixed the excersizes up i did 10 pull ups then 25 push ups then 10 pull ups and 25 squats then 10 pull ups then 25 sit-ups ETC......

My first time with Angie as well

11:38

Time ??? But, I finished!

Pull-ups: broken into sets of 5 (first 100 in a single WOD!)
Sit-ups: sets of 20
Push-ups: gave out at 60 (1/2 were girly)
Squats: sets of 25
Back to push ups: final 40.

21:01 - then we decided to do 100 kettlebell swings (14:54).....those took me almost as long as Angie did.

CrossFit East - Sadistic Saturday

PS: And I fully expect my husband to brag about my 100 pull-ups tonight at the fight!

14:50 - not feeling good today (more IBS gut pain, AGAIN). Pushups definitely the weak link...

J-
no workout

S-
WOD as Rx'd
21 minutes

me:16:35 my buddy: 17:34

28:21 I was just hoping to beat 30 minutes.
-Brandt

21:59

Wanted to break the 20 minute mark, but couldn't do it. I was holding back too much and teaching my a student about CF during the pull ups, they alone took me about 12 minutes.

Did some Shootfighting afterward, but no running. Missed the 10k too - because I was moving into my new house. My whole body hurts from THAT workout.

28:30. not pleased with time (was hoping for sub-25), but at least I figure I can beat it next time. No one limiting factor - all aspects were pretty lame.

25:04. pull ups 12ish alone

22:00 as perscribed

4th WOD 1st time with "Angie" as Rx'd with one modification
pullups x 100
pushups x 100
situps x 75
pukie x 1
situps x 25
squats x 100
all sets broken 36:37.11, goal was 30 minutes. oh well room to improve
-Jeremy

Time 17:40 without chin-ups due to what seems to be a shoulder impingement.
Woe is me.
Finished off with some snatches, which don't bother me and a 6:59 one mile sprint.

got home to late to do Angie...or at least to do her right...wouldn't want to dissapoint as she seems highly demanding requiring THE most reps I've ever given.
Perhaps tomorrow I'll double date.

25:12
had to use a rafter for my pull-ups.
and my squat was slow. I rolled my ankle the other night when I was running the 10k. I know it was a row, I made it two miles and rolled it on a rock. The only good thing was I was running a loop and only had to limp home 1/2 a mile.

laneDJ,

Remember I was doing the Pack workout and I didn't have to switch off with partners. I don't know if that's an advantage or what. ?!

You guys rocked it, LT!

“Angie”
For time:
100 Pull-ups (11:13, mixed grips)
100 Push-ups (8:15)
100 Sit-ups (5:36, feet flat & unanchored)
100 Squats (2:36)
TOTAL TIME=27:40
previous 7/26/2004=28:17

Not too happy. Just made it into the acceptable time range (ie. at least faster than 2x Matt G's time) and barely beat my last Angie...

3 rounds crossfit warmup.

Angie: 27:07

standing single-leg dbl calf-raise
standing machine calf-raise
donkey machine calf-raise
seated machine calf-raise

ab work on Swiss ball
twists with cable pulley
practice hanging L-hold

19:23

as Rx'd. First meeting with Angelina.

Yo Crossfit, Glassmans, Everett, Grady Mac, Burgener and all the studs kickin' butt and taking names. Miss you guys. Wish I was there. Count me in on the next one!!! I sure miss my daily dose of Crossfit and checking up on the site. I've got a lot of catching up to do in August. Have a great weekend!!!

First cross fit work-out! good to go. Want to spin with steve's wife though....

18:25; pretty disappointing time but not much juice tonight.

100 1pd kb swings: 4:32

It really makes me feel 'good' to post my time after Lynne calls her sub 19min. "pretty disappointing". I own it though so here it is:

"Angie" - 43min.

Yo, Rochet! Come on over to the BX clinic on May 7th! :)
Laura

erm...Stephane, maybe I missed where you will be until August...if you are not in SoCal, then "never mind." ;)

"Angie" 25:55

me no like-y

This gotta be an all-time low!

"Angie" 56:12

I can't do pull-ups - took 36:25 to complete, in series of 5 with toes touching the ground

I'm beat!

First Crossfit workout in about 2 months!

25 mins 10 sec

Did heavily broken and alternating
felt awesome!

Angie as RX'd
day late(Kettlebell W/O yesterday)
16:10
Jeff

19:42 - nearly 12 mins on the pull-ups - I know what to work on! At least I came under my target of 20 mins for my first "Angie".

19:36

Did 50 of each set, 100 pullups just wasn't going to happen today.

15:33

This one was hard. I felt nauseous until about 45 min. afterward.

21:48, got 27 consecutive pullups, a new PR.

22:58 keep getting a headache when doing my pullups. So that is killing my times.

32:21 as RX'd.

Only had time and energy for 1/2 of "Angie" after doing the C+J first today.
14:47

Only did 60 reps for each and still took long.

Time= 16:43

For the past week I did a regular weight training workout and it felt so easy that I only had to rest a min. or less in between sets. I was also able to lift heavier. I'm probably going to do a week of CF and a week of weight training and see how I feel. I want to mix things a little bit.

Feel like a wus compared to everyone else.

PU - Stagered from Rings, Swinging Bar Under Hand, then Swinging Bar Over Hand:
6, 3 Rings
4, 4, 2 Bar UH
4, 3, 3 Bar OV
2, 2, 2, 2, 2 Rings
1, 2, 2, 3, 2 Bar UH

2, 2, 2, 1 Rings
Done, burnt out, finished 70 total in 60min

Ring Push Ups
20, 10, 10, 10, 6, 5, 10, 10, 8, 7, 5 = 100 in 25mins

Sit Ups
50, 20, 20, 10 = 100 in 15mins plus bathroom break

Squats
30, 30, 40 = 100 in 5mins

Need to keep working hard, eat right, sleep...

23:53 as Rx'd

Half Angie: 12:50

I'm extending my 3 week recovery ramp-up to a 4th week, since last week I was fully dedicated to coordinating my company's ISO certification audit (ISO 13485), and wasn't in the gym after Monday. I'm planning on going half-WODs this week on a conventional 3:1 schedule. Missed you guys...

45.45
pullups 5wide,5neutral,5facing, then mostly 2's alternated between grips in lots of 10. pullups took 26 minutes
pushups 25,20,15,10,10,10,10 all karate style
situps 10,10,10 janda style, rest in 10's on swissball.
squats 34,33,33

25:29
most time with pull ups
split all into sets, best with squats

Mellow day, for me, at the seminar. Played camera jockey. Had no excuse not to make this up...

Pullups on the rings with concentration on full ROM. Pushups on the floor, same full ROM, no cheat with head, belly or chest. Situps unanchored, jiu-jitsu style. Squats, er, squatish. Everything broken but the squats.

20:00 flat.

-D.

15:29'

Ring pullups.

A little bridging and handstands beforehand.

For time of 22'25"80
100 Body rows on Smith Machine w/ feet on bench
100 Push-ups
100 Chinees
100 Squats

Opted for body rows instead of pull-ups because my lats are still sore from the 5 rounds of 15 L-Pullups + 21 Back extensions workout I did on Friday.

Did this on 18 APR 05 for PT.
19:49

"angie" as prescribed
time = 17:55

played 10# hooverball and a couple of tug-of-war rounds yesterday.
i was feeling the hb on today's pushups.

19:18
broken into lots and lots of sets.

10.47

Flying after the P-up's (40, 18, 12, 10's)

32:11 - much longer than I thought it would take. It took 13min+ just for the pullups.

Pull-ups (35,15,10,10,10,5,5,5,5)
Push-ups (23,20,22,7,8,10,10)
Sit-ups (48,22,30)
Squats (50,15,20,15)

Pull-up rests were 30 seconds, cut back to 15 seconds when the sets of 5 started). Rests for the other exercises were genrally shorter. Time was 16:10 - almost 2 minutes slower than the time we did this last July.

Wow, its been almost an hour and I'm still not right...

14:40

New PR on the first set of PU (20) then sets of 10 and whatever I could get (starting around 60); took over 7 minutes here. Kipping but but no jumping.

Push-ups: 70/30. Felt like I could get 80 straight but not 100 so I broke it early for time's sake.

Sit-ups...harder than I thought. unbraced

Squats, 50, 20, 10, 10, 10

23.48

Everything broken including me...

GOT to work on situps

18:21, pullups turned into jump-ups after about 30 reps...

wife joined me and did 50 of everything in 13 min!

This proved hard than I thought, especially after 100 pull ups kindly removed skin from my hands. 15:51

21:29
then added 100 back extensions to complete the pump for a total of 27:05

finished up a week of crack climbing in the desert. I'm not feeling very strong, I'll need to warm back into xfit again.

Guess I didn't do this right ... sorry team.

13:47
did 10 rounds of 10 pullups, squats, pushups, situps

27.00 even and a hole in my hand to remember it by

31:24

pullups really ugly.
There was a lot of 3 and 4 reps sets
not sure of time some where around 20 minutes most probably more.

21:20

Good work out: can be done anywhere and anytime. Doing the sets in a rythmic rest to workout improves time (10 pullups / 10 breaths to recuperate)

Everytime you think you're not progressing, go back and read your old posts. I read my time from July on Angie and was amazed!! First off, I had to do 60 assisted pull ups and they took me over 22 min to complete. My total time back then was 47 minutes!!
Although I had to stop the PU's this time after 30, I was only about 3 minutes in when I pulled th plug and went on to push ups. Powered through the rest of the ol' girl and ended up with a time of 23:45. Add about 5 minutes to finish the pull ups and it's still a 19 minute improvement!!
I'm rather chuffed!

35:24

Bottleneck at pullups!

done 050419 for completion not time 50 PUs, all others as rx'd

First WOD in over a month. The ensuing result...a humbling 24:54.

19:59. Ridiculously poor form on pull ups.

I just did 100 pull-ups! It took me 17 minutes, but I did it.

total workout took 37 minutes.

mini-angie:

25 pullups < 6 minutes using the assist machine with 40 lbs for first 6 and then 55# for the rest. Tried to mimic the momentum of unassited dh's.
(1 minute intermission to help a friend who left their water in the locker room and was walking on the treadmill. I'm a giver.)

25 pushups (no knees)
25 sit ups
25 squats

11:34 including intermission

18:47

Last did Angie in 32:26 last July, when it took me 19:06 just to complete the pullups. So this time it took me less time to do the whole lot! YAY!!!

11:49 as rx'd

28:58

Thankfully, my very slow time will be burried here at the bottom. Pulls were the sticking point, but much better than the last Angie (which was also my first WOD I believe).

Well, I guess that makes mine a very, very slow time.

37:38

15 min for pullups, 20x 5
10 min for pushups, 5x 10 and 10x 5
10 min for situps, 10x 10
2:38 for squats, 4x 25
