Happy Thanksgiving! Great workout to do between cooking and watching football. I'm out.

So you do a clean, then while the bar is on your chest, do the press and 2 jerks, then return the bar to the floor, and that's one rep? Repeat till you get to 10 reps?

Best wishes to all for a happy Thanksgiving. Thanks to everyone...Coach, Lauren, CF Staff and gods...and all the daily posters for constant inspiration. You're all on my "thankful for" list. I hope everyone has a nice cheat day...

Happy thanks giving from Iraq!

Very nice photo! Happy Thanksgiving.

Right on Matt G. My thoughts exactly. I'm not a 'regular' poster, but this community is important to me. Thanks everyone.

Sorry to have been the only post to date just asking questions and not mentioning Thanksgiving. No disrespect intended, but I'm not American and didn't realise what the day was. Glad Chris got in with the first post while I was typing mine! Enjoy the day.

Happy Thanksgiving all! Hope you enjoy the people you're with, where you are, and the food on your table. And thanks to the CrossFit community.

Nice picture..

John B.

It is o.k. -- I don't think we are the sensitive type.

Anyhow I had the same questions.....

LOVE the picture! Who is she?

Is John B right with the whole all in one thing?
Anybody?

I am also confused about this workout.

10 sets of the compound movement "Clean-Push Press-Push Jerk-Split Jerk" ???

That seems to make more sense than 40 singles, 10 of each lift.

I'm confused as well.

And Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!! We miss you folks over seas and are thinking of you.

Oh CANT WAIT. IF I figure it out rgihgt clean, then push press, then jerk, then split jerk. Back down. One rep. Whooah... lets do it again!@$@ Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but I beleive thi is the waqy to execute.

I can't quite get the technique for the Push Jerk and the Split Jerk, so all i did was the clean, then three Push Presses in a row, then lowered.
Lift weights:
77-77-99-99-110-110-115-115-115-115 (not bad for a 176 pound 18 year old newbie). Then i did about 5 more at 99 to demonstrate some things to my brother to get him started, but he is so tall that he busted a light and put a plate through the roof.

Oh , sorry about the misspels. HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I am thankfull for DAN JOHN enlightenig us on the O lift.

HEY HENRy pretty good , look up EDT by chatles Staley could be of great use.

I'm so thankful I found the CF site and this community a little over a year ago. Coach Glassman - thanks for all you've done and all you continue to do with the Journal and this site. Lynne Pitts - thanks for moderating the board. To all CF'ers new and old - thanks for making this online community what it is... the best resource for the pursuit of elite fitness in the world.

DAN S!

When did you grow a pony tail?!

Happy Turkey Day all - from Afghanistan! I'm new to this community, but while away from home, I love coming to this board and seeing the posts, getting some motivation, and having a few laughs. So, many thx to all who come here and push themselves in pursuit of excellence.
Henry, that's some funny sh*t. Try and get your brother hooked - and get him some coordination. Don't feel bad, though. We don't get any smarter as we get older. I bought some golf clubs a few years back and was just "feeling 'em out" - just lifting up on a backswing - when I smashed a light in the basement in front of a friend who had just said - "you're going to bust a light." "No, I'm not." But yes I did.

Hey, I think I figured this out. I just looked at all of the clips again, and another one I had called push-jerk-drill.

I think the idea is to -
(a) clean the weight, then (b) push press and come back to clean position, (c) push-jerk and come back to clean position, and then (d) spilt-jerk and then down.

I suppose you could rack it after the clean and just pick it up and do each one, but that seems like cheating and would diminish the shoulder burn. After looking at this carefully, I have decided that this is going to be an ass-kicker, despite how benign it looks when written down.

Sorry if this sounds obvious to anyone.
(insert standard newbie disclaimer here)

Today is a rest day for me. This is much needed, I can tell you. Happy Thanksgiving.

Seriously, when is Crossfit going to start its own dating service?

I'm on holiday without my gym, but near a pool so I'm going to do Russ Greene's swimming WoD:

Max rounds in 20 minutes
35 squats
25 pushups
100 metres swim.

I'm not sure what thanksgiving is, but anyway, thanks too to Coach and Lauren and all my buddies here on Crossfit. At the tender age of 38 I am stronger, fitter and leaner now than ever have been in my life. Learning how to walk on my hands is just a bonus. :)

Seriously, someone please shed som definitive light on this WOD please.

I'm hella confused.

happy thanksgiving to everyone involved and who made a commitment to doing the WOD..

my understanding is you're basically doing 9 reps of each lift. so, 1 clean, rest, 1 clean...total of 9.

then push press, jerk, split.

all in all, you should do 36 reps.

someone tell me if that's wrong, but that's my understanding.

happy turkey day to all!

Sean G. is right.

I did it as I noted above. Practiced with a light bar a few minutes to get the motions down, but form still not great on cleans. Have a tendency to spread legs out wider to get under the weight.

1 CFWU
75-95-95-105-105-115-115-125-135-135

Push press was weakest by far. Push jerk strongest. Really able to drive wt up and get under it. Is this usual?

I went with Sean G.'s recommendation...it looked right to me.

10k race this a.m.
95/105/115/135/145f/140/145/150/140/115

First time ever doing these exercises, I ended day with form practice, which I need.

I would like to echo all the Happy Thanksgiving wishes to everybody and say I am proud to be part of this awesome program. I am spreading the Crossfit word like a Crusader OD'ing on Red Bull! Everyday I look forward to the WOD, and enjoy the comments (especially the plate through the roof).

A safe Holiday to all the Troops oversea's...You make us all proud, GOD BLESS THE U.S.

My guess on today's WOD

Clean the weight;
do the PP, lower bar to shoulders;
do power jerk, lower bar to shoulders;
do split jerk. The end.

Of course, do the aforementioned ten times.

Thanksgiving marks 1 full year of crossfit for me. Not going to reiterate what everyone else has already said, so one big THANK YOU to everyone already mentioned!!

I like Jensen's plan...I think I will go with that. It sounds a lot more pleasant. Also more in line with what we normally have been doing. I don't have the motivation after yesterday to do 4 rounds. Happy Thanksgiving and thanks to all of our Troops overseas! Be safe!

Mr. Townsend,
During the fall of 1642, their second year in Plymoth, and after having barely survived the previous winter, a small and very humbled group of pilgrims prepaired a feast of the bounty from their first harvest in the 'new world'.
This rag-tag group invited as guests, those who had made that harvest- and their continued survival possible; the natives who had taught them farming, gathering, and hunting practices compatible with this new land. Canadians celebrate this day six weeks earlier than the U.S., and can claim a date for their first harvest in the New World 46 years earlier (I believe- any of you Northern(est) Americans jump in here & correct me).
This first Thanksgiving was not, as we celebrate, a reunion of extended families; whom they had for the most part left behind. Rather it was a celebration of thanks to a new family, for a gift of knowledge given freely in trust. A gift that empowered them to not only survive, but to thrive & enjoy their new world to an extent not previously possible.

So thanks, Coach & Lauren, and all the others who work so diligently that this new family of ours can thrive as well. You represent the very best of what I am so proud to defend.

May all of you and those you love have a Happy Thanksgiving. I am thankful for your example, generosity, expertice, and encouragement. For those of you who are spending your Thanksgiving away from family standing on a wall, patrolling a street, or responding to those in dire need, my famliy and I thank you. Take care of yourself.

Finally, thank you to the Glassman family. Your service is appreciated.

With respect,

Gus Sonnenberg

Happy Thanksgiving eveyone!!!

Many thanks to Greg, Lauren and Lynne for their efforts and support!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone. I am on a plane to San Antonio, Texas today. Will resume WOD on Friday.

Hi all,

Weight work to be done on Saturday
Until tomorrow...

As I am not at home with my blood family this year (only the second time for me), but look forward to enjoying the day with some of my fellow brothers and sisters in arms who could not make it home, I take Cates' words to heart - very well said. I am thankful to spend this holiday with some of my new family.

I am also selling Crossfit to anyone and everyone that'll give me a minute. I love this site, the community and the incredible benefits it has lead me to in fitness. Coach, Lauren, staff - you guys have got something increbible here and I thank you so much for that. Keep up the amazing work.

Happy Thanksgiving and have a blessed day. Have fun and eat well, I'm sure coach will have us pay anyway. You might as well eat good. But remember to chew your food! It makes it easier to come up when we do Fridays WOD:)

happy thanksgiving everybody, and particularly to our troops overseas.

Subbed in the power clean/ press-up WOD today

5 rounds for time of:

power clean 135lb (95 for me)
15 press-ups

6:11 as modded.

Cheers, kempie

Working 6am-midnight today so I probably won't be doing the WOD; if I'm still awake I might sub in high volume kb swings to get the kinks out of my backside....

PS Happy thanksgiving to all. Without going OTT want to say my thanks to the Glassman's as well as all who inspire and perspire here on the boards.

Look forward to passing a little on at the CF London seminar tonight.

Cheers, kempie

Day 3 in a row.

Happy T-day!

Jen: 45
Paul: 85

Turkey Trot 5K in 2 hours.

Modified the WOD as follows:
Front Squat ME: finished with 275 PR, 265 prior best. Failed on 295. Twice. Got it up both times, but didn't go low enough.

Clean-PP-PJ-SJ 1-1-1-1-1/1
135, 155, 175, 195, 215/215(PC-PP-PJ)/(PC-SJ)

Cleans were of the Power variety. Everything over 175 is a PR in the Split jerk.

Also BW today was 232. Down 10 or so since starting a pseudo-zone, mostly paleo diet. I'm ramping my way into it. What I'm doing is working though, so not too much tweaking yet.

Happy Thanksgiving to ALL CROSSFITERS WHERE EVER YOU ARE.....@ HOME & OVERSEAS ,,,Thanks for all you @ HQ have done & will do.

Kempie,
I was hoping for a break in my schedule to let me hop over to your seminar tonight- wasn't to be. I'm sorry to have missed it as I know it will be awsome! Be sure to post some photos for us!

WOD: 135,140,145,150,155,160,165- starting to strain on the split-jerks, 170- missed first then got it, 175, then went up to 185 PR for C&J, don't even have a clue how that happened.
Thanks again CF!

happy thankgiving to all from a newbie to the site, i love these workouts cuz there is nothing like walking out of the gym completely spent everytime. thx.

115-135-135-135-140*6

No split jerks, doubled up on push jerks instead.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

We'd like to see crossfit adapted for us senior citizens. We want to be hardbodies too, you know, but we're not up for all that cleaning and jerking. Lifting forks to our mouths is more our speed; can you adapt that into an exercise?

Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

I need more practice with the split jerk. I did pretty well on the last one.

I still haven't figured out how to rest the bar on my shoulders instead of my wrists. I think I'm holding the bar too tight, but I don't want to release the bar unless it's really resting on my shoulders. I may have some flexibility issues. I couldn't seem to point my elbows forward without releasing the bar. Suggestions please?

Cates, any time you do find a hole in your schedule, and are heading this away drop Karl or myself a line and we will try and sort out some shared suffering.

Cheers, kempie

Extra special thanks to Greg & Lauren.

Thank you Coach, Lauren, and to this great, great community. Each year with Crossfit gets better and the community grows not only in numbers but also in strength, quality, commitment, and love. While I don't post very frequently, I usually start and end my day on this website and check it a few times during the day. I feel like members of this community are old friends and/or extended family. Crossfit has become a major portion of my life.

Happy Turkey day to all the boys overseas. Thanks.

Happy Thanksgiving! WOD-up to 195 for the last 2 sets. Some chins and pistols afterwards.

Mike-h,

Re: Renegage Man Maker

Check out the gym jones website under schedule for the best explaination. Believe the instructions are posted under the last posted workout.

Sorta like a burpee that has been possessed by Satan. Using 25 lb DB's start in an extended push press position, then drop down to a burpee position with the dumbells as your anchor. Do a pushup, then a single arm row while still in the pushup position with each arm. Transition to the position you would use to begin the jump on the burpee and clean the DB's. Once you do that push press or jerk em to the starting position and repeat.
Who ever invented above is one sick bastard. They made me met Pukie this morning.

Hope this helps.

Happy Turkey Day everybody!

This was the first time going over 135 for me b/c I have been trying to work on form since I started two months ago. It was heavy for me, but I am glad I spent some time on form. I think I would have blown a gasket if I had tried this earlier.

"Rather it was a celebration of thanks to a new family, for a gift of knowledge given freely in trust."

Most appropriate!

Thanks for taking the time to explain that.

There are some features of American culture that are really quite impressive.

Matthew

A real man does this after the Turkey day feast! Or a crazy man, I can't remember which.

Did the first 5 sets at 135, the last 5 sets at 155. WOD was #3...concentrating on form all the way. Nice numbers Grady, that's movin' some weight.

Workout #4...a chipper:
Ribeye lifts
Baked potato swallows
Broccoli chewing
Salad eating
Tequila pouring

Happy Thanksgiving to all...

since my gym is closed today, i went to a park and did the standard

5 x pull-ups
10 x push-ups
15 x squats

15 rounds ~20 minutes

good precursor to stuffing myself. go metabolism!

Finally developing a quick split-jerk. Finished up with some back-squat singles.

really suck getting under the push jerk so most looked more like push presses.
I think the numbers would have been higher if i had been in a place where I could drop the weight. The gym I was at today doesn't have a platform or bumper plates.

Well done Dan S.

Happy Thanksgiving to my American brothers and sisters. Thanks to everyone in getting Crossfit out there and making it available.

WOD
135-145-155-165-175-185-195-200-205-185

Kept things relatively light. Could have started heavier, and finished a little heavier. Surprised how snappy the weights went up, given the kind of day I had.

Good Eating all!

Haven't quite got these movements yet. Knocked hell out of my chin on one of the push jerks. Spent the rest of the day seriously falling off the Zone wagon.

Thanks for my family, CrossFit, our servicemen & women in harm's way, this great country, and for all that we behold on this green earth.

As RXed.

65-85-105-115-125-135-140-145-150-150(F on PP)-150

Did a few C&Js after, too:
160-170F-170(PR)-175F-175(PR)

i think my form on the press and jerks was sound, as were the cleans. In fact, today i actually did proper squat cleans for all the lifts instead of slacking with power cleans.

New PR on push press (up from 130#). Not lifting giant weights yet, but happy to see some progress.

as rx'd

95# for all sets.
right shoulder not 100%

Also did the suggested Russ Greene swim WOD:

20 minutes of -
35 squats
25 pushups
and 100M swim

did 4 complete sets plus 35 squats. Additional challenge of towing along my 6 year old for some of the laps.

115# all sets

Never did push jerk before. Caused me a little trouble towards the end.

1. 95lbs as rx'd
2. 100lbs as rx'd
3. 105lbs as rx'd
4. 110lbs as rx'd
5. 115lbs as rx'd
6. 120lbs as rx'd
7. 125lbs as rx'd
8. 130lbs as rx'd
9. 135lbs as rx'd (form a bit sloppy on the Push Jerk and Split Jerk)
10. 140lbs failed on the Push Jerk and had to ground the weight.
11. 140lbs just a clean and split jerk
12. 145lbs just a squat clean
13. 150lbs not quite a squat clean so I decided to stop there.

Then max effort pullups: 16. They were kipping but the kipping was limited. My pullup bar is so low that my knees are only a couple inches off the floor at dead hang. I'm not 100% certain but I think 16 is a PR for me. I'll have to check.

Then max effort ring dips: 10. I still suck at these.

Then a couple l-sits to finish.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the US crossfitters and their families. I'm Canadian and we have Turkey Day in October so it's already over and done with for us.

Couldn't get near a gym today, so ran 5k home with gradual hills to keep it nice and hard. Tomorrow I will do this WOD, as Sat and Sun will be all day seminars followed by sparring; those will be my 'rest' days.

GM, Thanks! Can't wait to try that one.

As RX'd: 95, 95, 115, 115, 115, 125, 125, 125, 135, 135.

At first I thought I'd have to do something else as my right shoulder really hurt and felt weaker than normal on the first push press. I ended up doing a bunch of cleans, steadily increasing weight from 95 to 145. At the end my shoulder started to feel fine so I decided to do the WOD as RX'd.

I'm glad I did as I found it to be very instructive. I haven't done many of these lifts yet, so I've been a little apprehensive about trying anything more complex than a clean or dead lift. Today was the first time I really felt that I was getting the clean done properly. The first time I hit it correctly I startled myself with how fast the bar came up (I thought it was going to hit me in the chin).

Anyone else find the pushpress harder than either of the jerks? I found both jerks to be much easier as I only had to get the bar weightless and then push myself down underneath and catch it as opposed to having to actually push the bar higher using my arms.

How do you all deal with lowering the bar. Is it ok to just drop it, or is this considered to be bad gym manners?? On the last few lifts I had a hard time lowering in a controlled manner after the final jerk. I ended up catching it at the juncture of my thigh and hip, but that kind of hurt.

Hope you enjoyed your turkey. Had mine last month as I'm Canadian. Cheers.

good workout

Today I just practiced doing all 4 moves for about an hour, working with 65 then 95. The last round I did 135. I also did the CFWU.

My back is real cranky from sitting so many hours at work, so it was high rep kb swings in place of the WOD:

1000 36# kb swings, 500 per hand. As per Steve Cotter's 07-27-05 idea on the Dragondoor forum.

200 in 4:38 with 2 minute rest
200 in 4:55 with 2 minute rest
200 in 4:44 with 1 minute rest
300 in 7:41 with 1 minute rest
100 in 2:23

All done in groups of 25 reps per hand, no chalk .

Total time including rests = 30:21

Need to work the 52# bell the next time.

used 135lbs.

did 3 push presses each rep as my ceilings are too low for jerks. (i can't even fully extend the press).

really have to work on my cleans...very weak/poor form, which makes me hessitant to try more weight.

Can't seem to catch the weight on my shoulders during a clean like in the video. One day. . .

Anyone know a good source for powerlifting shoes?

BW= 200

116/116/127/127/132/138/138/116/116/116

Had to back off after the 138 due to left shoulder problems. I need a lot more practice on this type of lift.

Yeah this was tougher than it looked-I'm pretty new to power lifting.
85 lbs for all and I was done.

And to all the Crossfitters from the US, happy turkey day! I am truly grateful for what Crossfit has done for me in 5 short weeks. Thank you all!

Happy Thanksgiving! I modified the WOD a bit. My legs are still burning from yesterday. A good burn though...Oh well, pressing on.

pre-WOD: 5 rounds, 500m row + 10 burpees

WOD: 135# all rounds, outside. Temp = 30F

Full squat cleans. Gotta work on the push jerk.

We did this one last night. As the weight got heavier the push jerk and the split jerk looked more like the push press. John worked up to 175lb. Joe got 150lb.

Steveo goes 205 and keeps it light?

I went 135# all the way and felt strong.

But I'm a pu$$.

Ran the Marine Corps Reserve Turkey Trot 5K in Newport News, VA. A local TV cameraman filmed me doing some pushups to warm up before the starting horn.

24:30 -- a new PR and 32 seconds faster than early Sept.

Happy holiday all, especially all in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere in the GWOT.

Behind in posting.

All with kettlebells. 1 clean, push press, push jerk, split jerk.
3 sets w/ 2 24kgs (1.5 pood)
3 sets w/ 2 28kgs (1.75 pood)
3 sets w/ 2 32kgs (2 pood)
1 set on each side w/ 1 40kg

Lowering the weight to the clean position adds something over the BB but limits the weight. I could get the 40 up there but bringing it down was tough.

Later in the day did 3x10 ring pushups and 6 20 second static holds on rings.

Push presses are the real limiting factor.

Happy Holidays!

Looks like I might have done this one wrong. Only had time to do the cleans, and push press

Shoulders started feeling it as I moved up in weight even though I went light. Did notice better form though on Cleans(sqts).

Did this 3 days late due to Thanksgiving. So to punish myself I did murp after it.

did this a couple days late (in lieu of 'Murph')

On vacation, Tariq and I decided to do 100 CF burpees for time. Sadly I did not record the actual times but Tariq was sub 10 minutes and I was slightly over.
