Should be fun...

I'd love to be able to do Mary, but I think she's a little out of my league.

Nice... I had been waiting for this. I run 3 days behind the WOD, but this is beautiful timing, Coach.

So much for the new calluses.

-D.

A 3 round improvement compared to last time (which was my first date with Cindy).

13 Rounds + 5 Pullups+ 5 Pushups.

Brandon, I feel the same way. But I think a proper time to start looking at Mary is when one is able to do 20 rounds with Cindy first. That would be the time to start dating 'Mutant Mary' ;-)

That's just my 0,02$ worth.

My first time with Cindy: 15 rounds, more or less (the last few squats were completed after the buzzer)

The last 5 rounds or so of pullups were badly broken. This doesn't affect the score, right?

NickT it doesn't matter how you get 'em - just keep plugging away till your time is up. Nice job first time up!

Cheers, kempie

I was literally just dreaming about pullups before I woke up.

Last time out: 19 full rounds

This time out: 21 full rounds plus 5 pull ups

ouchy...

There's a Crossfit Philly??!??!?!?

23 rounds of Cindy, by the way.

Jason is the man.

Will be getting in somw work with him once the summers over.

He has more tattoos then me, but I just have to deal with it.

Can't wait to be able to play with the other Philly pholks!

Tattoos are quality not quantity Bill :)

22 Rounds & Ring PUs

Nice Pic Jason - Congrat's again on the Success!
Looking Forward to the 20th!

12 rounds of cindy
needed some assistance on the last couple of rounds of pullups. good workout though

Mary = 8 rounds + 5 HSPUs + 2 pistols.

HSPUs done full range off 12" stools, head to floor each rep. New PR here - managed to get the first four rounds without a break. One or two breaks the other four rounds. These are tough.

Pistols not alternated every other rep; done 5 right, 5 left. As usual the right side was strong, the left a struggle.

No breaks on pullups and callouses not tearing with the help of tape.

14 + 5 pull-ups + 10 push-ups + 10 squats

lots of jumping pull-ups and negatives

That was Cindy, by the way.

15 rounds of Cindy. Jumping pullups after the 7th round.

It's time to systematically attack my weakness with pullups.

First date with Mary

Completed 10 rounds for sure. I have 11 on my sheet, but I think it might be a mistake or it may not!?! I also got an extra 5 Handstand push-ups.

Handstand push-ups done on floor with toes on wall and hands at 2 1/2 feet from wall.

Average HR somewhere around 157.

Felt I could have gone harder. I am looking for 12 to 13 rounds next time Mary comes around.

Monique sat this one out because of knee pain during one legged squats.

15+5 PU for Cindy (new PR by one full round). Pull-ups and squats were unbroken.

cindy

22 rounds (a two round improvement)

7 rounds of Cindy

First date with Mary

6 rounds + 2x -ve HSPUs

HSPUs: vertical against wall
1st 15x proper HSPUs
rnd 4: 2x proper, 3x negatives
rnd 5 and 6: 1x proper, 4x negatives

finished with O-lift technique and L-sits

25 rounds of cindy, tore off a couple of callouses on round 19 and left blood on the bar when i was finished. a proud crossfit moment. did 20 rounds in 17min last time before i tore up my hand, and 23 rounds the first time

Cindy a month ago 11. Cindy today 16. She sure grows up fast! By the time I see her next she may be 20....I hope!

I've got an injury to my forearm preventing me from doing any pushing or pulling. So Cindy was out.

Run 5k: 24:15

Realized after I started that I should have done 5 rounds (run 400m, 50 squats) to get a closer response to that of Cindy. Oh well.

19 rounds and 5 pu's last time;

This time 21 rounds and 5 pu's. Just cannot believe how quickly good things are happening!!

Cheers, kempie

did Cindy
last time: 23 rounds plus 4 pullups
this time: 27 rounds plus 5 pullups and 3 pushups
just when I thought it couldn't get better.

Cindy

14 rounds + 1 pullup

First WOD since coming back frmo 2 week vacation....ugh....I felt awful.

12 rounds and 5 pullups of Cindy.

Good thing is I did the WOD as RX'd, with focus on form (which probably let to my slow pace), and did the full crossfit warmup too.

Good to be back!

Cindy

22 rounds plus 5 pulls (pr by 2) - sets started every :50 (with one short rest...)

Cindy: 23 rds + 5 pull + 5 push
(last time w/Cindy was 21 rounds + 5 pulls + 6 push-ups)

17 rds on the 0:45
6 rds on the ~1:00
5+5 in the remaining time

Push-up limited, as usual.

By the way, it was great to run into a fellow CrossFitter at Camp Pendleton this morning. Good luck with Cindy this afternoon.

Flight PT today was a few days ago's WOD- tabata squats followed by 150 situps.

Like the pic.

Eric 2: Hoorah sir. Outstanding effort on Cindy this morning. It was good to see you again.

Run, swim, run this morning (~3 mi, 50 m sprints, ~1 mi)

Will post results of Cindy this afternoon.

cindy; 25 rounds + 5 pullups

I have a question regarding the Crossfit warm-up.

When I read it there is no mention of reps, intensity or weight. For example, it simply says "sit-up" - no "s". So am I to do only one sit up? Seems rather odd to me.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Jason

Waited a couple hours after Mary to work on clubbell mills. 6 minutes of 15# mills - 90 right, 85 left.

Rested 10 minutes and decided to do Cindy after taping my hands: 30 rounds plus 5 pullups and 10 pushups. I've been wanting make 30 rounds on this benchmark for a long time - I finally made it!

First date with Cindy, thought she'd be easy. Was I wrong ( as usual)!!!!.

17 sets with 4 sec remaining.

Thought the squats would be easy, but after reading the squat link posted the other day I did them all the way until my calves touched my hamstrings. Hardest part of this one.

Philly rules! I can't wait to meet some Crossfit Philly Pholks

Warmup: 1000 meter row and 400 meter run
Cindy: 14 rounds (1st date)

Warmed up with a 25 situps, a 50 meter sprint, some monkey bar shenanigans and about a half mile jog.

First time with Cindy. Final score: 12 rounds + 5 PUs (completed the PUs right at 19:55). Finished the 13th set at 21:15. All reps unbroken. Gonna have to work on my hustle after seeing all the other scores.

Last time, I danced with Mary. I'll return to her the next go round and compare my old score.

Finished up with 3 sets of 5 ring dips, about 20 box jumps and 3 50 M sprints.

Jason,
In the FAQ (http://www.mitymous.net/weights/xfitfaq.htm), it says to do the WUx3, 10-15 reps each

-Seb

First time with Cindy.

I did 26 rounds(plus 5 pull ups and 4 situps).

Should I try Mary next time, is that the natural progression?

14 rounds

Taking a rest day

Big improvements for me with Cindy.

The last time Cindy was up, it was my first time with her and I had only been doing CF for 1 week. I modified to 3 pull-ups (assisted), 5 push-ups (knees), & 7 squats. I completed 14 rounds + 3 pull-ups.

Today I did the 5 pull-ups with a 20# lower assist than before, 10 push-ups (knees) & 15 squats. I completed 14 rounds!

Thanks CF. Great improvements in 1 month!

My soccer season begins in three weeks and I wanted to step up the training. Does anyone see a problem with doubling the CF WOD? I.E. "Cindy" in 40 mins.

Hey Lino, I myself don't see any problem. I would just make sure the coroner is there with a bodybag because I think you may need it!

Did 15 rounds of Cindy. Might have been 16, but I was going pretty fast at the start at lost track. Last time I think I only did 10 rounds, but I forgot to post in comments so I am not sure :(

24 rounds with Cindy

Started out every 40 seconds (going for 30) ended going every minute after the first 3.

WU 4k run

WOD - Cindy
27 rds, 1 better

Gina
16 rds, 6 off her best.

Wow! New to crossfit. Almost embarassed to post my scores after reading everyone elses. I did "Cindy" for 11 rounds plus 5 pull-ups. Great stuff!

Cindy: 17 rnds + 5 pullups + 10 pushups

1 round improvement

sold out! I was blazing through her up until round 14 when I hit the wall. recovery was rougher than usual. hahaha! will consider a more reasonable pace next time.

looking forward to the group workout with Crossfit Philly!

(AM workout) cindy..........always crushes me. 29 complete rounds and 3 mile run at a very slow pace. (PM workout) 10 2 min rounds of thai boxing (1 min rest between each round)

NICE job KELLY... Cindyx30 thats unbelievable...congrats!

6 rounds mary

WU Run 1 mile

Cindy : 18 rounds

4 x 100m sprints

Not bad for a first date.

Baz

Did Mary today. Really struggled with the pistols. Did 11 rounds.

Hi all,
Congratulations Kelly.
Workout as follows
Lisa {CJ 55 kilosx1, ring push-upx4, jumping pull-upx4} for 13 rounds.

Jon {CJ 80 kilosx1, ring dipx3, pull-up (no kipping)x4} for 21 rounds.
Until tomorrow...

cindy: 17 rounds + 5 pullups & 5 pushups

CFing since July 16. 1st time with Cindy (July 17) was 13 rounds with broken pullups. What I found interesting this time - t'was the pushups that gave me the most grief. Anyway, only 26 days in, I'm pleased with my progress!

Mary= 8rounds + 5HSPU/ 6 pistols
BW=193
Warmed up with KB Turkish getup/windmill combinations, Janda situps, and KB lizard crawls. HSPUs were forehead/nose to floor. Had to touch my hands on the floor for balance for most of the pistols, never to assist on ascent/descent. Pullups were done on rings. First set unbroken, all others broken into 5-5-5, then 5-3-2 on last couple of rounds. First time with Mary. Been GTG with pistols the past week so I thought it was a sign to bump it up a notch. Passed up on Kettlebell overhead carries and farmer's walks after. Have 2hrs of BJJ at the academy tonight so I want to tax my grip then. Feeling great! Can't wait for tomorrow's WOD!

Addition,
I did 54 sit-ups w/12.5 kilos in 2:00, exactly 3:00 after finishing my 20:00 routine.

I did Cindy, 22 rounds + 5 pull-ups + 3 push-ups, previous best was 22 rounds even.

20 rnds with 4.8 seconds left. Previous best was 16 and change.

Cindy: 16 rounds. Third time I've done Cindy. First time did 13 rounds, last time 15. Slow but steady progress! Still kicks my butt, though.

16 rounds, 5 pull ups 10 pushups for me
18 rounds 5 pullups, 9 pushups for my brother

Jeremy

Cindy by the way

Jeremy

Kelly! that's incredible! great work!

Cindy 10 Rounds
Same number or rounds as last time but I dropped my assisted pullup weight by 30lbs. Though my real slow down is pushups, after about 60-70 they become a real challenge.

Awesome, Kelly!!

I want to do this Cindy but I'm on my rest day...perhaps tomorrow.

We all did Cindy:

Kim - jumping pullups and knee push ups - 9 rounds
Allison - jumping pullups and knee pushups which became wall push ups after two rounds - 10 rounds

I did as prescribed but only 12 rounds cause I kept stopping to coach Allison on her squats which were not so good at the beginning. Towards the end she had very pretty squats. I also ripped a callus today. Bummer.

first time doing 'cindy'
11 rounds
every second round did chins instead of pullups and hindu squats instead of regular squats. regular squats ass to ground everytime. all sets unbroken. all pulls/chins dead hang. all push ups done on vertical knuckles.

thought i'd get more rounds though... must be the heat... excuses...:)

Amazing!!!

I pulled my hamstring on Saturday. I decided I wasn't going to push myself to hard today and knew I wasn't going to beat my last time.

Last time with Cidy 20 rds.

This time I did 23 rds and stopped at 18 minutes when I went from good to bad pain in my ham. That's 3 rounds better with a bad hamstring and 2 minutes to spare!!!!

Needless to say I am very happy with myself. I honestly don't think I could have recovered this fast on a more 'traditional' workout program.

18 rounds with Cindy for first time trying this. good workout.

for those ripping dead skin off the hands, try not to slide off the bar. try to pop up and release. saves much pain. hope this helps.

"cindy" 30 rounds

Cindy,

18 rounds.

"cindy" 22 rounds

Cindy:

Utah-28 rds.
House-28 rds.
TFC

Cindy, 16 rounds with 10 secs to spare, still sweating 20 minutes after

Cindy:

22 rounds + 5/2

14 rounds with Cindy, I got a long way to go till I get to Mary

Brand new to the Crossfit universe. Bunch of tough guys I know in the San Jose/Moffett area been encouraging me to start.

Cindy: 11 rounds, sweatin' like a Texas pig, even in the A/C

Cindy's turn today.

Finished round 24 at the buzzer (and the final squat round of DEATH). Used the rings this time around and lost one round from my previous effort.

-D.

Lino, what are you looking to achieve by stepping up your training?

Pacing this workout over 40 mins is going to be a very different beast to the balls to the wall effort that Cindy encourages. I would encourage you to stick with the 20mins and pick the intensity up to maximise your metabolic benefits.

The upper body strength endurance you might achieve by a long drawn out Cindy really wouldn't seem to be a primary concern for a soccer player. If you want more, maybe include some sprint or footwork drills. Then again you just might find 20 mins with Cindy really is enough for one day.

just my 0.02c

kempie

cindy 18 rounds even

Cindy - 12 rounds + 5 pull-ups + 10 push-ups. Pull-ups assisted & push-ups on knees. Over 2 round improvement on last time, know I can do more.
Plus thanks for the pull-up advice on the forums, managed my first unassisted, dead-hang to chest on bar pull-up this week! Hope the second comes a bit easier.

One question I had pertained to the level of soreness I feel after a workout. FOr example: If my biceps are still sore from Monday's workout should I still do the regular workout for the day or would it be best to alter it somewhat?

Cindy
11 rounds even. That was the hardest CF I've done yet. Just missed pukie.

Emma, that is awesome. Don't worry, building up numbers comes a whole lot quicker once you can do one. Fantastic work, keep it up!!

Scott M, unless we are talking injury pain then the best medicine for your soreness will be doing todays WOD. Don't set out at a blazing pace, just go through the motions and focus on quality movement. It won't be the last time pull-up WODs come close together so you will need to condition your body to work when tired. It is an opportunity to test your mental toughness.

Having said all that, if you think the pulls will really slow you down try doing three or even two per round instead of 5. This should let you move through quicker and share the love with your chest and legs!!

Lastly, think about pulling with your elbows rather than your hands. They are just hooks connecting your body to the bar. By thinking about this (and playing round a bit) you should find your back working a little harder and your biceps working a little less.

Cheers, kempie

Is their any weight on the squats?

Good job Kelly & Emma. Keep up the great work. We all need a little inspiration once in a while.

Cindy:
22 rounds + 5 pulls + 2 push-ups w/ 1st 6 rounds as Rx'd in 6:30 & the rest were with jumping pulls and push-ups on knees. This was 8 push-ups & 1 squat less than last time, but this time had 1 more round as Rx'd.

11 with cindy

"Mary"
9 rounds+hspu+ols+ 10 pull-ups...arghhhh!!!
5 pull-ups short of 10 rounds!
Last time got 6 rounds+3 hspu's; guess I can't
complain, more than a three round improvement.
HSPU's getting better...all back to wall with minimal wall support, last several rounds broken
4/1. Used a hand on the power rack for balance on ols's. Ols's and pull-ups unbroken.

Thanks Coach

13 rounds 5 pullups 8 pushups - down one round.

5 rounds of Mary + 1 hspu and 1 set of squats, amost 6, WOW.

19 rounds even as Rx'd.
Up 2 from last time...but down 1 from all-time.

22 rounds with 3 seconds left on the clock

down by 2 rounds from last time but feel like i worked a lot harder this time

cindy btw

12 rounds (cindy) with :20 left on the clock

2 better than before (which was -15kg on the gravitron)

marked improvement, especially in the pullup dept.

GABE CRUSHER!! JOHN SLICER!!

Did Mary today,

Did the workout from 2 days ago yesterday, and I felt it on the pullups today. Did 9 complete rounds, plus 5 hspus. HSPUs were partials to a 2 inch pillow on the floor, against a wall. Pulups were broken after the 2nd or 3rd set.

18 rounds. Took it easy today as it is the first day back after about a month. Been very busy with work and life. But should be getting back into the swing again.

cindy...30 rounds

18 Rounds with Cindy

I am kinda new to crossfit.This is my second week with the WOD. I did "cindy" for17 rounds.

Cindy as Rx'ed 20 rds+ 1 pull up,
4 rds and 1 pull up Better.
A "Good" day for me.

"Cindy"

19 rounds + 5 pullups 7 pushups

Mary; 8 rounds + 5 HSPUs

Cindy. BW=205. 9 whole rounds. Chins for 5 first 4 sets then broke nto 3/2 with rest. I've been doing the CF warmup everyday to work on my chinups but I think it actually hurt me on this one (weak grip) and the WOD from 2 days ago was brutal on my back too. No problem on pushups or squats.

Made up my own today...will do Cindy tomorrow morning.

Today:
4 rounds
10 pullups on a tree branch (exceptionally rough on the hands)
Run around the hotel (~200m)
10 sidejumps over the tennis net
20 situps unanchored

Time: 16:30

Cindy 21 rounds +5 pull ups, 10 push ups, +3 squats and an added bonus of a huge blister on my ring finger from the pull ups on the rock climbers finger board.

Excellent WOD! Is Cindy a dominatrix? 16 rounds and 5 pull ups, 8 push up

20 sets as rx'd. will have to push more next time...

cindy 21 round

Ran 1 mi. to and from gym,
MARY: 6 rounds @ 50% flexion HSPUs, 1.8 rounds subbing 45 lb military press

5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats
19 complete rounds + 5 pull-ups + 10 push-ups + 7 squats (prev[7/20/05] was 19)
1st=0:39(prev. 0:42)

slowest=1:13 on 17th rd (prev. 1:17)

Completed 20 min of "Cindy" and moved onto 50 situps with 15lb weight. Total rounds 15. Forearm (hurting) still letting me know I am alive. Hahahah.,

"Mary"
7 rounds and 5 HSPU in the lightening and rain.

Then for unit PT we went in the gym, go figure. Did a 4 mile run in approx. 30 min. This is my second crossfit getting back from Fort Irwin.

RLTW

Did "Cindy"
Completed 21 rounds As Rx'ed

Cindy - 11 sets in 19:42
After the 5th set had to break up the pull ups with my push ups, but got them all in.

Where are all the women for the Philly workout??

Cindy
13 + 5 Pullups

Beat last one by 1 set

All Pullups unbroken (first time)
Push ups broke at 10 (left hand still slightly sprained)
Squats unbroke

Cindy

20 full rounds, 5 pullups

1 round improvement, deeper squats than last time

cindy
did 25 rounds with 30 seconds to spare.
1st time i did cindy, only hit 20, so big improvement which i am very happy about!

(the cf animals out there that hit 30 rounds are very inspiring)

Cindy x15 (PR)

29 rounds plus 5 pull-ups. Out of control...do not want to do that one for a while... Had set my sights on 30.

21 rounds with Cindy

2nd Workout today. Did some deadlift, weighted chin-up and OH squat work earlier.

Did Mary today, as I feel I've been slacking on my handstand pushups lately :)

Managed 13 rounds and 5 HSPU with 10seconds left on the clock. Up about 2 rounds from last time.
Best workout I can do in my kitchen (where the pullup bar is)!

Mary 10 rounds in just over 9min (3 round PR, my PR may be partially because the last time I did this workout I did ten reps with left leg one round, next round right leg, really slowed me down )

HSPU against the wall forehead to ground each rep.
Pistols were toughest, done with heel on 1.5 inch board, rock bottom, by the 6th set I was getting a small hand assist on reps 6-10.
Pullups unbroken until 8th set.

This was done after a total of 21 reps of clean and push press with bodyweight in sets of 2-4 reps

Does as perscribed mean freestanding HSPU (not against wall)?

24 rounds. as Rx'd. Drew alot of attention occupying the only pull-up bar for 40 minutes... =)

Cindy: last time 19 flat; this time 20 + 5 pull ups. Aim for 21 next time.

Cindy: 25 rds + 5 pullups. Off to play with the clubs.

First time ever doing Crossfit today. Good stuff.
8 squats short of 14 rounds with Cindy.

Pulled my hamstring at rugby practice last night. So I wont be doing the WOD's for a few weeks(I will, but heavily modded and unposted).
Today would have been the first repeat since I started CF, and it would have allowed me to gauge my progress. Oh well. Time for some RICE and rehab.

Hey guys just wanted to express my gratitude and thanks for the life lessons I was tought through crossfit. Last summer I was introduced to crossfit by a fellow warrior and joined. by x-mas I was clean and jerk at 180, deaqdlift 410 and doing about 80 pullups in 20 min. amazing results and then I got locked up for some stuff I did not do and spent 5 months in the county. I trained all the crosfit programs I could remember, the boys in ther could not believe my level of fitness for a guy 38. I managed to walk case dismessed and in still the best shape ever . I am back in the gym and back on crossfit ..thanks for keeping me alive during those hard times.. you guys rock!!

well, im back from vacation. it was awesome. i got some canoeing in as well as a tiny bit of swimming. also, i found a 170lb rock to play with...definitely challenging and extremely fun. anyways, when i got back home last night after 16hrs en route, Cindy was not the WOD i wanted to see...especially after taking my rest week at sea level and returning to 4000ft. it doesnt have to be fun to be fun...

cfwu x3 w/ reduced pullups

WOD: 20 rounds of Cindy...did the squats as OHSs w/ a broomstick. i think ill stick w/ that mod from now on...it was tough but kept my form honest. oh yeah, my PR on this one is 22+ rounds so not too too bad after a week off.

14 rounds plus 5 pullups and 6 pushups.

Last time was 14 rounds plus 5 pullups.

I was still sore from the pushups and pullups in the WOD 2 days back, but I felt that my pullups were faster than I've ever been on Cindy. I will reach 20 rounds with this girl before the end of this year.

15 rounds of Cindy, PR by one round

Modified "Cindy"
5 Pull
10 Push
15 Sit
22 Rounds

I love this modified workout because it targets all the calisthenic areas that are on my PT tests!

back from a week in ny for 30th high school reunion. nice to be back in the bay area fog.
did cindy. 15 min elliptical warm up 14/14. assisted pull ups and lite bench presses before wod.
16 rds + 4 pull ups vs
15 on 7/15/05
13 on 6/6/05
11 + 5 pull ups on 4/26/05
10 + 5 pull ups on 3/15/05
i like this trend.

I didn't have access to a computer to find out what the WOD was, so I did my own.

Three rounds
400 meter run, 21 25# DB thrusters, 21 pull-ups.
400 meter run, 15 25# DB thrusters, 15 Pull-ups.
400 Meter run, 9 25# DB thrusters, 9 Pull-ups.

Time 15:54.

Pukie's cousin, "almost-Pukie" visited a lot on this one.

"Cindy"

11 rounds
same as last time and the time before that

7 rounds cindy.

For the past week I have had a problem doing pullups or even a flexed arm hang. I immediately get a shooting pain in my head as if someone tightly cinched a belt around my brain. It fades if I stop for a minute, but doesn't go away entirely and is making getting through the WOD difficult. I'm not holding my breath -after the first time it happened I started paying attention to that. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cindy
19 rounds + 2 pullups

Mike Donnelly

“Cindy” *MODIFIED*
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Pull-ups - Rounds 1&2 as Rx, Round 3 broken (3/2), Rounds 4-10 x 5 reps with bike inner tube assist.
10 Push-ups - as Rx
15 Squats - as Rx

10 Rounds + 12 Squats

Found the site last night. First WOD today. Cindy humbled me. 10 +2 pullups

Cindy, 16 2/3 rounds. Preceded (by about 3 hours) by ab workout and 4 mile run.

Warmed up w/a 3 mile run and then did Cindy. Lost count 1/2 way through, but it was either 16 or 18 rounds + 3pull-ups. Was shakeing and light headed after ward... It was great! Just transfered back to my old command and had alot of guys comeing up to me asking me questions about the workout while I was doing it. I'm so addicted to this! It's awsome!

15 full rounds as Rx'd
Kipped all pull-ups and the first 3 rounds were unbroken.
3 rounds more than last time.

I was not feeling up to Cindy or Mary today and I got my new bumpers, so I did a modified Grace.

95 pound C&J 30 reps in 14:07

All rock bottom squat cleans, a mixture of push presses, ugly push jerks and a few thrusters.

I have done more weight faster, but I am really happy with the improvement in my clean form.

Tracy: 12 rounds
Stopped at 17:25; been battling sinus infection. She was able to do full pushups, not from knees this time, and jumping PUs. Last time did 8 rounds.

I sat this one out because had gymnastics class tonight and conditioning was like the bastard lesbian love child of Cindy and Mary

"Cindy" 14 rounds

Cindy
10 rounds
kipped most of the pullups

First time...

Cindy, 3 rounds, then I quit, 6 minutes. Does that make me a bad CrossFitter? Am I not fit for crossfit? I was wiped out!

the pullups were negative, jump start, towel over door...that was the closest I could come.

cindy: 16 rounds plus 5 pull-ups

As rx'd 21 complete rounds, 2 better than last time. no broken sets

relatively new to crossfit and did the last Cindy with 26 so I thought I'd give Mary a try. This is one of the toughest workouts I've done.

cfwu X 3
Mary - just made 10 rounds at the buzzer
cfwu X 3

In the words of grady mac, "That was a real pee pee wacker, wasn't it?"

yes it was, couldn't decide if I wanted to pass out or puke.

Cindy: 10 rounds...new PR by 1 round

Cindy

10 rounds

pullups: 2 clean rounds - rest broken or negatives
push ups: broken sets after 4 rounds
squats: all clean sets

Cindy: 19 rounds + 5 pull-ups.
Damn you Cindy, why do you have to play games with me? Really really wanted 20 but just couldn't do it. Got to pace myself a bit differently.

i did 16 rounds of mary yesterday

What is the best substitue for pull-ups in this instance; jumping, kipping or, toes-on-bench assisted?

am
Rower: Time 16.30min 300Cal
Stairmaster: Time 25min 400Cal
(Interrupted by a call)

pm
“Cindy”
14-Rounds in 20min + 1 Round for good measure.
5 Pull-ups = 75
10 Push-ups = 150
15 Squats = 225

First time posting. Been doing CrossFit for about a week. Did Cindy six rounds.

Cindy as Rx'ed. First time for me.

9 rounds in 20 minutes.

Last set of Pushups were done 'girly style.' This is the first time pullups weren't the bottle neck.

Cf Warmup x3 without Pullups then :
Mary 5 rounds : First date with Mary. All HSPU's where with my back against the wall full ROM ( head touching floor). Pistols (One Legged Squats) where tuff, used a pole for balance, Pullups (all broken) last couple of sets did jumping pullups. I really need to learn how to kip.

3 L-sits (hanging from pull-up bar) 15 seconds each.

Cindy.
18 rounds + 5 pulls + 10 push-ups

Still down from my traditional 20 rounds, with absolutely no explaination why. My push-ups seem to really be suffering, where they used to be a strength of mine. Guess that's what happens when I ignore them for a while.

CF WOD #2 and still plugging along.

6 rounds of Cindy (still doing negs for pull-ups) + 200 sit-ups/crunches (different styles in sets of 20)

MARY
9 rounds + 5 HSPU + 5 OLS

Cindy, 12 rounds + 5 pulls

Pull-ups broken after round 5, and one teeter in round 12 of squats

PR was 9.

For Me:
Cindy, 6 rounds + 10 pushups while waiting for squat rack.
squats: BW/2,
pull-ups: 1st round as Rx, all others Negatives.

For Michelle:
Cindy, 6 rounds.
squats: weighted with 30lb dumbell
pull-ups: all negatives.

Cindy: 21 rounds, all sets unbroken

Cindy - 15 + 5 pulls and 10 pushes

Most pu sets were assisted (negatives). I'm really frustrated by my pull-up progress over the last few months. I'll check the message boards to see what I may be missing.

CFWU x 3 (Modified - no pull-ups or dips)

"Cindy" - 2nd meeting (1st meeting 6/04/05)

16 rounds + 2 pull-ups

(Only pull-ups were broken after the 7th round) And this time I didn't have to switch to assisted pull-ups. All as Rx'd minus the broken pull-ups.

"Cindy"

18 rounds + 5 pullups and 10 pushups.

Pullups: Dead hang for 1st 4 rounds, then jumps.

Mary - 7 rounds and 4 HSPUs. Pullups done on rings.

16 rounds with Mary!! Connor that is just awesome.

Congrats man.

cheers, kempie

First time with a girl. 8 rounds. The workout was easy, the endurance (more like the lack thereof) is what got me! I was breathing hard the entire time. At 16 minutes, pulse was at 160. At the end it was 164.

Did knuckle pushups with feet elevated, pull-ups tend to aggravate my elbows, so I did two sets, and the rest were body weight lat pulldowns.

WU-1.9km run
Cindy
11 (I think I lost count it could be 2 more) +3 pull ups
Pull ups kipped and sets broken
1.9Km run home
Strong on all except PU really let me down, much work needed

forgot to post yesterday...

20 for Cindy

It is finally a true benchmark for me as this was the first Cindy where I grinded out all pushups full body style. 13 rounds even, all pullup and squat sets were unbroken. Pushup sets generally broken 5-3-2 after going unbroken for the first 2 rounds. True pushups caused me to lose 5 rounds versus last time, but I was finally ready to step up Cindy as prescribed.

NO comparision to last time. Sick then and did push ups on knees and band assisted pull ups 11+ 3 pulls rounds

Today

Fiona well but modifing due to injury.
5 Pull downs (back up to 55kg now :)
10 one arm pushups full support GAO.
15 squat

Jorge as Rx'd 13 rounds
(Jorge needs to increase his fitness 10% in 10 days for some army barrier test, he's been out bush. Showed him cindy on paper, wasn't sure if she would work him enough. By the end he was begging her for mercy.

MARY as RX'd:
5 pullups short of 9 complete rounds, tired from morning surf session, have to take advantage of the waves here on the right coast when they come around.
still lookin for the dood, drop me a line.

cindy 15 rounds

tim-cindy 5 rounds. Great work as he's just coming back from a broken arm

Cindy is HOT!

7 sets in 20 minutes with a one minute rest in between each superset.

-Chris

Thanks Kempie,
Just saw your comment now. I think you are right, footwork drills in addition to the WOD would be a better use of my time. I tried doubling Cindy up though. Pretty grueling.

"Cindy"
21 rounds @ 20 mins.
40 total rounds in 40 mins.

16 rounds. Pukie wanted to show up but I was able to hold him back!

Did Mary, 4 rounds, 5 HSPU, 4 squats. Did the pistols with a 25 plate, as it helps my balance. HPSU my usual 5" or so range. Bit fried due to a variety of factors.

12 rounds, did well in the beginning and the end but the middle I was hurtin'!!!

8 sets... 1st time ever doing CF

This was my first WOD ever.

I did 7 rounds of Cindy. I quickly had to revert to negative pullups and girl pushups though. Dear god that was hard.

The good news is that there is room for nothing but improvement to my score! Hahahah.

18 rounds of Cindy. Need to push a little harder next time. . .focused a little too much on fatigue management.

Mary

7 sets + HSPU and Squats

No bother Lino, strong work sticking with Cindy for 40 minutes though.

Cheers, kempie

Cindy:
8sets (12min) (pullups kipped on a 6" diameter bar)

I was in a playground after dark and the cops showed up (though I was crashing anyways)

"Cindy, with BALLS!"
Exp: 5 pull-ups- normally,
10 push-ups- feet on sissil exercise ball (60cm), hands on basketballs
15 squats- standing on the sissil ball

14 rds

Cindy
10
Shoulder rehab coming along. Not much pain although pullups seemed weak. Nice to get back into the swim of things.

Mary - 7
one less than last time. hspu's were a little closer to nose to floor.

18 rnds + 5 pullups and 10 pushups
wanted to get in 20 rnds
Did oly lift work with 45lb bar afterwards

3rd time for this one. Broke last time record.
19 previous 16.

Cindy - 20

Mike_c, Utah, House ... good lord. That's fast and sustained.

Haven't posted in a while, just recovering from a back injury - minor but didn't feel that way when it happened.

I just got a new fixie (fixed wheel bike). I use it for local transport so the legs are getting blasted daily.

Feels good to be back.

Pukie was a-knockin' but he didn't quite make it in the door! I was a day late on my date with Cindy, so I doubled up with deadlifts.

27 rounds plus 5 pullups, 5 full rounds more than last time - then I fell out gasping on the floor, getting odd looks from the stairclimbers ;-)

I'm still light-headed, today was definitely a max effort day!

Sempers,
madsox

Mary-7. Sore as all get out from 2nd-day soreness courtesy of the weighted Tabata. HSPU's easier when hands are on the floor vice on the push-up bar. Still not getting the nose to the ground though.

Cindy - 11 full rounds plus 5 pullups and 10 pushups. Previous best was 13 full rounds, but this is a new PR because I did all of the pullups totally unassisted. Very fired up I am!

Cindy (8-10-05 am - day late post)
Did 22 complete rounds and 5 and 10 on the 23rd, finished the 15 squats at 20:15.

Posting a day late -

"Cindy"
10 rounds with 10 secs left. I made it back up to the pullup bar when the bell tolled. Pullups were definitely the limiting factor again - very slow and had to break them up after only the third round.

15 rounds. First 10 were done in the first 8 minutes, then I had a hard time deciding if I was tired, or bored of doing it.

After yesterday doing pull-ups for the first time in almost a month I decided to do half of Cindy.

10 minutes, 9 rounds

Cindy as rx'ed

18 rounds (PR)

6 rounds of Cindy. Such a buttercup...

I take comfort in the fact that I graduated from mr gravitron and did all the pull ups unassisted, broken into sets of 1, but unassisted. The first round though I was able to do 2 in a row which I was proud of so soon after doing them assisted @ half bodyweight on the gravitron. Next time, I'm going for 10 or more rounds.

Completed "Cindy" with a 20lb.Vest:
24 Rounds with 3 seconds to spare. My goal was 25 rounds...I will try again soon!

Greg.

22 rounds, PR by 2.

first 10 rounds on the 40s, next 12 rounds.

Gonna pull a 30 round Chelsea and a 300+ FGB one of these days !

Completed 7 rounds of Mary? Instead of doing five pistols per leg I did ten each leg. Oops!

Mary

I = as Rxd 19 rounds
J = subbed Push-ups for knees, Pull-ups for 70# pulldowns, squats as Rxd. 15 rounds

Crap! Did Mary x 6 with 10 pistols per leg as well...
Thought I heard....
Mary: Is that all you have, little man?
Miket: I was only shooting for five and got six!
Mary: Not good enough. Next time I come over here, you better be able to do me eight times or you can just go back to whatshername...
Miket: Cindy?
Mary: Yeah, her.
Miket: Call me?

Cindy= 20 rounds....barely

Abraham Lincoln Crossfit

Tom
15 rounds
pull ups broken after round four

Joe
14 rounds as Rx'ed

You know what sucks?
Posting after Greg A., that's what!
24 rounds with a 20 lb vest? Superhuman.
Good luck on getting 25, although I know you'll get it.

Me? I felt like I was Matt G. Did 2 full workouts in one session.
First, b-ball court sprints for 15 min. 2 free throws immediately followed by up and back sprints full court. Went 2-for-2 a couple of times. As I got to the end, form was a little off.
Followed the sprints with Cindy.
14 rounds and 2 pull ups. Felt better about the effort, but could tell the sprints had taken their toll. My 15 lb weight vest, my gut, was slowing me down slightly.

Lastly, farmer's walks w/80lb in each hand for about 30m. Very shakey at the end.

Cindy, 13, pull-ups, 7 push-ups. I lost count and will use the counter feature on my watch from now on.

"cindy"
12 rounds + 5 pull ups

the first time was 12 + 5pullups and 10 push ups. back in july.

"Cindy"-- 20 rounds

First Post!

'Cindy'
14 Rounds

Mary:

12 rounds + HSPU and pistols

8/11/05

13 rounds in 16:40 Cut it a few short. played tennis for a few after. It's hot here...

Had to miss this one due to some dislocated fingers about 30 minutes before I planned on starting.

I have (once again) proven that you can not block kicks with two fingers.

Cindy: 23 rounds in 30 minutes.

Slight improvement over previous encounters.

Stayed on pace for 12 rounds (about the same).

But, usually, I drop to (-1) after I fall behind; this time, I stayed at the prescribed reps (5-10-15) and even added a 25-lb plate to the squats (alternate rounds as holding the plate to the chest or holding it overhead in an OH squat). So, its a small improvement, but I'll take it.

I did Cindy . Th is was not my best peformance.
18 rounds plus 2 pull-ups. All pull-ups were dead hang.

Cindy: 10

My pullups still stink though. Keep on...

Took a couple of days off, Cindy wasn't too nice to me (she can be a real witch you know...)
Pushups on parallettes, squats until calves touched hammies.

8 sets unbroken

Pullups are still the weak link in all this, once I get those up to speed my number of sets should increase drastically. Damn gravity....

Buck

Oh yeah, I don't kip my pullups yet, it looks like I am having a seizure, so until I get the hang of it, I will just be doing the dead hangs...

Um . . . when did Cindy become 20 minutes?

I could have sworn it was 30 minutes. My 23 rounds was over 30 minutes . . . probably about 17 rounds in 20 minutes (but I wasn't thinking about it).

Didn't Cindy used to be 30 minutes long?

(Checks the FAQ) . . . .

OK, it was "Chelsea" that was 30 minutes. Damn . . .

18 rounds of Cindy, one or two round improvement over last time (lost count and didn't post)
tougher than it looks

Mary, 9 rounds, plus 5 HSPUs.
I am completely weak on the one-legged squats and had to jump for last rounds on pull-ups.

Cindy for only 10 min, 10 rounds

21 rounds in 20 minutes
40 rounds at 40 minutes
whos your daddy lino?

did this wednesday after playin tennis for a 1/2 hr.
Only got 15 rds in 10 minutes. I had to stop because the park was closing and I was asked to leave. They would not let me finish workout for 10 minutes..

Day three on Crossfit. First time with Cindy workout. Lots of assisted weight on pull-ups, push-ups on knees, and no weight on squats.

...I forgot...finished 10 rounds of Cindy.

13 rounds exactly. I think that's down one.

Very inspiring and funny stories up there.

Cindy: 15 rounds + 5 pullups
Remarkable increase in both physical strength and mental toughness since my last round with ol' girl.

I went in telling myself that I was going to get 15 rounds, no matter what. Thanks to my increased wind and new-found kipping skills, I hit my last PR, 11 rounds, in 13:09. The last four rounds were hard fought and hard won. The last 5 pullups took me three tries. I failed twice to get one pullup, then told myself something along the lines of "Get up there or you're a dead man". Whatever it was, it worked. Next time I'll do it sooner so I can hit 18 rounds flat.

Cindy: 11 Rounds + 5 Pull Ups
(2 Round & 5 Pull Ups better than last time)

My 16yr old Nephew and I did 17 rounds of Cindy then I ran a 1/2 mile afterwards. We have been using Crossfit in the Police Academy and I LOVE IT!!!!

Workout 1: Rutman Mile 30kg (1/2BW) 14:18

Workout 2: Cindy - 15 rounds. Felt pretty good. Squats were weak due to my soreness from a previous tabata WOD. Still a 3 round PR though.

Cindy

19reps

Finally learning to kip, pushups/squats not a problem ... pullups still broken after 5th round. Did negs and jumping to complete rounds.

28 rounds!

Next time...32?!

Cindy

16 complete

Full extention to chest Pull ups
Chest to floor pushups
Butt to heels squats

Form definately makes a huge difference in the # of rounds you can correctly complete.

A couple days late, but I wanted to do my first mary (because of Dan's egging me on).

10 rounds plus 4 HSPU negatives.

HSPUs were negatives because I am working on full ROM still. Pistols were using a bar for balance. Pull ups were broken for the last three sets.

Cindy

19 rounds + pullups

age 45 bw 210

Finished Cindy as recommended, 18 rounds in 19:50.

"Mary"

8 rounds + 5 HSPU + 10 Pistols

1+ round improvement over last time
HSPU better this time, and all unbroken
Pistols better also, but need to work on making them all unassisted

Just didn't feel like I had it today, could have gone much harder, but still it was an improvement

Cindy:
Hark:

Cindy: 8 rounds, plus 5 chinups, 10 pushups.

Ran 400k for a WU.

8 rounds of Cindy plus 5 assisted pull-ups

First round of pull-ups completed with no assist (a PR). Following rounds I got 1 or 2 before going to jumping or assisted.

Was also assisting workout partner with her pull-ups so probably had at least 1 more round in me.
