Another butt-kicker...looking forward to this one!
I've been trying to work around some of the Olympic lifts over the past few weeks due to a slight bulge in an L5 that gives me tingling in my right leg. Any subs for any of these exercises?
Great quote! Looks like a great WOD as well!
Ditto Dave's comments, though I don't have the back problems. I just have no access to Olympic weights.
I can do these with PVC filled with sand...but somehow I don't think that will kick my butt. Should I just work the form and then go do some bike intervals up a steep hill or something?

Where in NC is CrossFit NC?
I hate (love) the rings and after doing Cindy on the rings and yesterdays WOD, i feel like i have mini-rhabdo. rest day, i'm afraid.

Do you do 3 reps of DL, 3 of FS, 3 HSC, and then 3 SJ and then repeat all of that? Or do you do all 9 reps of each exercise split into sets of 3 before starting the next?
thanks
Josh
Josh,
Without a doubt...do all nine reps per exercise. Otherwise you would be forced to change out weight after each set..pain in the butt.
Just finished with the workout for Thursday.

A very similar quote to one by famous marine Chesty Puller.
"All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us... they can't get away this time." [When Surrounded By 8 Enemy Divisions During WW2]
That one always makes me laugh but this one is an amusing one as well

There's a lot of Chesty Puller ones actually.

BUTCH,
I'm not with the NC group, but I am in Alabama...near Mobile. I travel to B'ham with work 1-2 times per month. Anyone else in the general area? ...Would love to CF with someone besides my German Shepherd from time to time.
Brian Decker
There are some of us here at Ft Bragg that get together. If there are others who would like to get together either during the week or on a saturday post here and lets see if we can work something out.
Darryl
Well, I ran 5K instead of the WOD. 30 minutes... um i'm getting ready for this marathon out here in Japan.
I put up a thread for it on the message board if anyone can offer any advice. Thanks.

That Chesty Puller comment was from the Korean War
Brand spanking new to crossfit, 220 pounds of dumb muscle. Thought I was in shape, people comment on my build, till the wife dared me to do crossfit with her. phhh, no problem I thought, sissy crossfit, I am now picking my ass off the floor from the whooping I got! Ouch, this is a real workout, count me in!!!!!!

Should have gone heavier on squats. Not much left for clean and jerks.
Can anybody give me a web site to purchase gymnastic rings so I can do those muscle ups

As RXed.
Rested about 2 min between sets.
DL: 160#, 210#, 250# (PR)
FS: 120#, 155#, 190# (PR)
HSC: 100#, 125#, 150# (PR)
SJ: 100#, 130#, 155# - 150# - 145# F -> 140# x 2 140# F
Last set of DLs was perhaps too light. Previous recorded PR was 230#, but that was likely after one of those 10 x 1 rep WoDs. Form felt clean and stable, so i figure i might have made 260# or 270# without a real problem.
FS went up by 5# and felt pretty clean. Might have been able to push it to 10# total. Next time.
HSC went up 15# and felt pretty good. On the last set, however, i noticed that i had probably been bending my arms too early and the loss of momentum on the bar was quite apparent. Had to really dive under it to catch it, but managed to do so without much of a problem. Need to do more work with the wooden dowel.
Not sure what happened in the last set of split jerks. 130# went up, seemingly without a problem, but even 140# was too much for 3 reps (mind you, i probably lost a bit of juice working down from 155#). i think the problem was twofold. First, i was not locking my left arm out all the way. Second, i didn't have the nuggets to really go for it with a heavier weight -- no safe place / way to bail (metal plates and a concrete floor). CrossFit Toronto is coming along, so i will have the mats and bumper plates to push limits shortly. Really looking forward to seeing how much i can heave about when i don't have to worry about missing the lift.

The muscle-ups are definitely a "power to weight ratio" thing for me right now.
I mean, you gotta get atleast one before you can start working on your technique. :)

DL 115x3, 135x3, 205x3 Could have gone heavier
FS 115x3, 135x3, 135x3 no squat rack had to clean it. Not real strong with cleans.

SJ 115x3, 115x3 115x3
I really need some help with these lifts. I see some Digital Coaching in my future.
boo....the Rec club on base is closed for repair until tuesday...URGH! I was so looking forward to this WOD too...now all i have to do is find a gym and con a free pass out of them.

Ahh there is something about this type of workout that make you want to grunt and beat your chest like a silver back gorilla. especialy when all the other gorillas in the gym look at you in unbelief and ahhh.
On a some what more sobering note, has anyone else heard of these idiots protesting at the funnerals of fallen soldiers with signs reading "Thank god for I.E.D.s." That is just flat disgusting. To quote a class mate (an army ranger) "I hope they cremate the bodies of those protestors when they die, because they don't deserve the ground, which has excepted better men then they will ever hope to be".

Reed, well put about this workout. I am just getting back into the Crossfit routine, but I guess that makes it especially pertinant that while everyone was giving me weird looks at the gym, I felt like I wanted to rip out of my shirt and beat my chest. Today felt good, I just can't wait until I get into the swing of things and it feels great.
FYI: The Army just released a new protein bar designed for the soldiers called "HOOAH!". http://www.hooahbar.com It not only tastes good but was created to eliminate the energy high then energy low you usually would get. It gives you a steady amount of energy rather than the typical spike and crash. Also, "a portion of the proceeds from each bar helps fund government research that improves soldier safety, diet, and quality of life." I am no soldier (although I do work on an Army base, Picatinny Arsenal in NJ), but the little things do add up.
Reed,
That is terrible...did you see that news clip of this guy Michael Crook on Hannity and Colmes saying that military personnel are overpaid his website was named like...forsakethetroops.net or something crazy like that. Calls them scumbags and all kinds of things. I don't agree much with Hannity and Colmes but if you watch the video clip, they tear this kid up.
Maybe someone can get me some advise concerning yesterday's WOD. Muscle -ups...I can bang out many ring dips, I can efficiently pull to the ring...I having problems snapping around from the pull -up to the dip position. Any advise would be great...

What with Foch not referencing Chesty Puller for the quote? Do we need to go into a history lesson.

Those bastards with the signs are the disciples of the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas, headed by Fred Phelps, previously famous for carring "God Hates Fags" signs at the funeral of Matthew Sheperd in Wyoming, and others. He is a foul hatemonger above all others. His rationale for this latest round of stunts is that resistance in Iraq (and Hurricance Katrina, amongst other things) are God's punishment on the US for harboring homosexuals. Considering I'm involved in an event which could quite possibly draw his personal attention, I'll be sure to give him a big F*** you from the CF crowd ;-)

Don't know what was up with the split jerk today, usually I can do more. Maybe all the thrusters yesterday.
I used to post on a few fitness forums including some very well known ones but after awhile half the posts were fitness and the rest .well you know what I mean. Opinions - great ,but this is Crossfit and to me that sounds like one thing and it aint politics!!

First Post to comments. Been Crossfitting for about 1 month. Looks like my deadlift's lagging in comparison to the other's posts. Can't praise the site enough. I've done everything from bodybuilding to triathalon's and marathons. Absolutely convinced this is the best fitness program around. I've been trying to balance aerobic and anaerobic fitness for years with progress in one always coming at the cost of the other. Problem solved. Thanks, Crossfit.

Nice workout
Quick question.
Do you switch legs on the jerks? Do you bring your right leg out front on one, then left, then right? Or is it 3 left, 3 right = 3reps?
Or can you just do the whole thing with whichever leg you want?

Don't feel at all comfortable doing front squats. I can't seem to get my elbows in front of the bar; they end up being right below. I ended up doing regular squats instead.
I don't feel competent on O lifts so I kept the weight fairly low. Unfortunately this results in my workout not being as beneficial as it should be. Time for a lesson.

Hello Crossfit, my name is Corey, I'm a Corpsman been in for about 5 years, plan on getting out to play college football, problem was I would never keep up with my routine. Never knew what to eat in nutrition. One of my Marines was telling me about crossfit.com and I'm going to take a shot at it. The routine always changes and all I have to do is look up on the internet before I go workout in the morning. With that said you have sets and reps for each exercise, How do I know where to start with the weight, and do you also have a nutrition plan for certain sports, activities, etc. I'm experienced in weightlifting and I was just wondering where should I start off with my 1 rep max or what??
Thank You Crossfit

Byron,
this is a bit late, but w/ the split jerk, you must first find your dominate leg (which will go out front). do this by standing w/ your feet together. lean forward until you lose balance. the foot that you step forward w/ to catch yourself will be the front foot for your split jerks. i think the consensus is to always split jerk w/ the same foot forward, and one rep is one jerk not one jerk per forward foot (so not L+R=1).
Corey,
check out the Message Boards. tons of info over there, so be sure to use the Search function liberally. as for nutrition, go w/ the Zone...its the CrossFit standard for performance nutrition. as for choosing weights, on days like this you want to max what you can for the amount of reps. this is very subjective so youll know what you can handle better than anyone else. also, keeping a log might help since your just starting. on other days where youre doing rounds or various exercises for a number of reps, scale the weight for the movements to something reasonable for you in the knowledge that most CrossFitters dont necessarily complete all the reps in a single set. break it up to something manageable but dont make it too easy...its a bit of a balance. and dont fret too much in the beginning...youll get the feel for it as you go. consistency before intensity.

Hi all,
Before I post the workout, I have to mention the results my wife Lisa has experienced with our evolution to this type of training.
For the past three months, she has not stepped on the scale to check bdw. I have have noticed how muscular she has become (beyond her fairly high level of musce mass to begin with). For a few weeks I have commented to her how powerful she appears.
Yesterday I asked her step on the scale. She did. Her weight is two kilos heavier than before. I then measured her arms and legs relaxed. The result: one and a quarter inch increase in arm size and one and a half increase in her leg size.
She is a bundle of fast twitch muscle fiber for sure! I have a greater proportion of slow twitch muscle fiber than she. Darn...
Workout as follows
Lisa CJ (warm-up for the DL; all weight in kilos) 45 (99#'s)x3, 55 (121#'s)x3, 65 (138#'s)x3. Then, DL 85 (178#'s)x3, 95 (209#'s)x3, 100 (220)x3. Bdw. 62 kilos.
Jon CJ ( all weight in kilos; I know. I'm being redundant)70x3, 90x3, 100x3. Then, DL 140x3, 165x3, 180x3. Nervous system is "Spent". Bdw. 80 kilos.
Until tomorrow...
Gonna post w/o looking at others' loads...

two new folks at Crossfit Boulder Creek so we just worked form on the four exercises and added some abmat work. Got to talk a lot about crossfit fitness during the workout. Seemed like they will be back.
as rx'ed:
Did cleans during school. First set did 225# for 3(PR), last 2 sets did 235# for 3 (another PR!). Used about all of my energy for these though, because by the time I went to workout after school, I was toast...
- DL: 2,1 reps @ 365#, 2x3 @ 315#
- FS: (OMG!)bottomed out at 245#, moved down to 185# and did 3x3. That was really difficult.
- SJ: 3x3 @ 185#
BW: 205#. I think the cleans were what killed me because I had absolutely no energy for the rest of the lifts.
Didn't post yesterday, but yesterday's wod kicked my butt! Don't have rings and therefore didn't do muscleups, not that I could anyway. So i did 2 pullups and 2 dips to sub for muscle ups. All sets of thrusters, pullups and dips were broken, though at the end I was doing 18 dips in a row. That made me reasonably pleased.
Today was much better:
DL 225x3, 245x3, 245x3
FS 205x3x3 (PR)
HSC 135x3, 145x3x2
SJ 95x3, 105x3, 115x3
Front squat was strong, and the olympic stuff, while not pr's by any measre, were remarkabley easy. I was in a regular gym and hadn't done any oly stuff inquite some time, so I started way lower that I should have. I didn't expect the bar to move so fast! This crossfit stuff is starting to work! Thank you!

Nice workout today, didn't feel like puking after....
"Its okay Steve, theres only 6 of them, we can take'em"
Words spoken to me one night by a friend.
At a social event one evening, things got a little out of hand. Clarity was imminent, so I launched a pre-emptive strike. The fella went to sleep for several minutes. Needless to say, his friends were NOT happy. They actually did move in on my partner and I at one point, but then thought better of it.
Certainly not as dramatic as the quotes above, but one that still brings a smile to my face, when I think of it.

My back is still on the tender side so the DLs were only at 70# BUT I think the work on my form that I have been doing at light weight has really helped. FSs at 85-90-90 (I think I can go 10# heavier next time), HSCLs at 70# (again, this is a back issue - that initial momentum and elevation on the bar hurts), PPs at 75-80-80# (I can go 5-10# more next time). I was even able to work on pushups (my nemesis) but only had time for two L-sits (16 sec -15 sec) and the usual 75 hollowrocks.

Hey guys, any help apprciated.. so.. my issue is this.. when i do the front squat I am supposed to have the bars across my my arms.. like in the elbow area? I tried it the last front squat workout we had..last week,i think, and if i did heavy weight, it hurt! So, I did very little weight, comparatively speaking to what i could do if i was on a machine pressing.. or something of that nature... so, is that right or am i doing something wrong, or do most people do less weight cuz, its on the elbow area?
Thank you!
Not a stellar performance

Then I worked on straight bar muscle ups some more. I am SO FRICKIN CLOSE. I got stuck up above the bar a few times.
I am going to take the subway home now. They can't win.

HSC 65,85,85(ugly form, needs work and more pain)
SJ 85,95,115(impingment pain in shoulder, brought grip in closer and that helped)
Went light on the FS and HSC. These usually kill my shoulders, so I thought I would play it safe.
Love seeing the Historical quotes. Once again, another form of motivation. You got to love all the old school hardcore guys.
I warmed up with 2 1/2 hours of jack-hammering & pick-axing a low cement wall in my basement. My arms, shoulders and upper back were pretty smoked before I started the WOD. Hang squat cleans and split jerks suffered as a result. I'm not that great at either in the best of times.
Deadlift: 3 x 235lbs, 3 x 275lbs, 3 x 305lbs
Front Squat: 3 x 155lbs, 3 x 185lbs, 1 x 205lbs, 1 x 195lbs, 1 x 195lbs (should have tried 190lbs or stuck with 185 for the last set)
Hang squat clean: 3 x 95lbs, 3 x 115lbs, 1 x 125lbs followed by a failed rep, 1 x 125lbs, 1 x 125lbs (should have stuck with 115)
Split Jerk: 3 x 3 x 115lbs (my form really sucks on these)
Great WO despite my shortcomings.

Finished with the 24 pullups and 24 dips I owed from yesterday.
I did not get much out of this one. Granted, It was my first time for half of the excercises, but once I got the form down I added some weight and pushed 'em out. Did 95, 125, 145 for the FS, HSC, SJ, and did 135 x3 for DL. Looking forward to tomorrow's WOD.
I wasn't feeling well tonight. I warmed up and put 135# on the bar and did all sets/reps with the 135#.
I hope to repeat this workout again soon with some more weight.
DL 135, 135, 135 (not myself at the start of the workout)

More humble pie served up by Crossfit. :) I was very pleased with this workout, however. I managed to throw my back out with the DLs earlier this week, even though 225 should only be part of my warm-up cycle.
Today's workout:
DL: 225 x 3, 245 x 3, 275 x 3
Front Squat: 135 x 3, 185 x 3, 185 x 3
Hang Squat Clean: 135 x 3 -- form was *terrible*, so I dropped the weight and practiced form instead. 95 x 4, 95 x 3
Split Jerk (with dumbbells): One jump with 60 lb dumbbells and a rather unwholesome sound (and sensation) from my left knee gave me warning. I switched to:
Dumbbell Push Press: 60 x 3, 70 x 3, 70 x 5
I then did some knees to elbows, one set of dumbbell curls ('cause I like 'em, dammit), and some light shadow boxing.
Gabriel - the bar should be resting across your collar bone with your arms only for support - not resting all the way down on the elbow. You also don't have to cross your arms like that either. Arms can be bent so the fingers support the bar (like in a clean) or then can be straight out with the bar only supported by front shoulder muscles but still up and across the collar bone.
DL: 205, 225, 235 235 pretty close to max effort
FS: 115, 125, 125 125 pretty close to max
HSC: 115 95 95 too light,
SJ: 125, 135, 135 no rack, clean difficult.
SJ pretty easy once in place. Kept bar racked on my chest after second set, minimal rest.
Finish w 20 minutes on elliptical Setting 7, 1180 KJ output 60 - 72 rpm

No access to bars etc. at Mom's house, so the PMS WOD was:

SpJk: 3x105#, 3x110, 3x120
I wish I didn't wuss out on the HSC, but my wrists have been real sore lately and I wasn't looking forward to them aching for days. However, I think they're adapting slowly.

Results were much higher than anticipated. I'll bet that I can finally get a bodyweight load overhead, with the results on the split jerks. The technique is really starting to come together all of a sudden on the cleans. Good stuff.

Started to get a bit long in the gym(and more than a little worn out) so cut it a little short.
weights in kg; previous 1RM in ( ).
deadlift: 120-130-135 (145). last rep almost didn't want to come all the way up, so I made it.
front squat: 65-70-75 (80)
hang squat clean: 40-45-50 (??)
split jerk: 60-65-65 (75). Was surprised at the poor performance here. Must have been getting worn down, not enough pop left.
Did the 100 pull-ups 3 days ago in 16:12 followed by mountain biking for 1:40.
J.T. will be tomorrow.
