Sweet setup! We need one of those in Memphis!

this is the WOD? holy cow

Sumo high pulls, a good sub for rows if so what would the reps be for each thank for the help

JBell...got your voicemail message but I've been on the road for work. I'll give you a ring on Friday/Saturday.

Durf...standard sub is 1 SDHP for every 10m rowed IIRC.

I was hoping for NO Pushing movements after the shoulder killing workout on Wednesday, even with a day's rest. But I'm psyched and thinking of how I will feel AFTER tomorrow's workout!!!!!

45# db thrusters?

My rower is broken, anyone know a ballpark time for 1000m??? Or # of strokes on a particular setting for 1000m???

Thanks

Bobby C.,

For me, working moderately hard (32 to 34 strokes per minute), 1000 m. equals about 4:00 to 4:10 minutes.

What is a thruster?

Group Moffett completed:

5 rounds for time of:

400 meters runs
50 air squats

Total time of 23:21:58

If I know I won't be able to lift the specified weight the specified number of times non-stop, is it better to take breaks as needed, or lower the weight to an amount I can do non-stop for the required reps?

Thruster Video:

http://www.crossfit.com/cf-video/Barbell_Thruster.wmv

Ahh, sweet Jackie. Plus two more rounds.

45# Barbell thrusters(just the bar).
This will be interesting.

I know what rowing is, but what does 1000m row mean? How much weight is that and how many reps, im afraid I dont understand at all.

fcfk,
1000m rowing = 1000 metres rowing or 1 km.
The Concept 2 rowing machine measures the distance you travel for you. All you have to do is get on the machine and row for 1000 meters. It is not the weight lifting exercise, that is why there is no weight posted.

enjoy.

No rower here. Is 1000m running a suitable sub or not really given that this workout looks like a big time back workout (rowing and pullups)? We do have a versaclimber. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.

http://www.mitymous.net/weights/xfitfaq.htm#Substitutions5

3.6. What if I don't have a rowing machine?
Do Sumo Deadlift High Pulls (see exercise page for demo):
If you don’t have a rower substitute sumo-dealift high pulls (sdhp) with 45 pounds for men and 30 pounds for women. Take the bar from mid shin to under your chin--"shin to chin."
2K row = 200 sdhp’s, 1K row = 100 sdhp’s, 500 meter row = 50 sdhp’s

Shu,
Im sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I would say to do whichever way you want, just be sure to keep the intensity up. There are sometimes when the load is a little heavy for me and I break it up, but I also drop th weight sometimes.

I guess I didnt really help, did I?

You know, ya think by now I would have been smart enough to check Lynne's page before asking that question. Sorry (and thx) I just looked and found it. Also, the java applet is excellent and the video is good, too, except that for the first 10 secs. of the video the guy is doing something else (like deadlifts then he arches his back), but then about 15 secs in he switches and does SDHP. No matter (just an FYI).

For those without a c2 rower, I plan on subbing in a 35lb. db swing (10m = 1 swing).

So is it barbell for sure? 45lb almost seems like it could be dumbbells, since a lot of barbell exercises are 95lb...

18:27 - C2 rower, 45# barbell thrusters to 10" box, kipping pullups.

I'm not the best at rowing and that first round of thrusters was broken fat too many times (none the next two); thankfully my pullups are strong. No breaks there. My shoulders are sore and weak after the "deep fried" shoulder WOD - glad the thrusters weren't any heavier.

First WOD

27:59

Thanks for the workout

what's up fcfkruse!

Josh a.k.a. tristar from the OG

10 rounds for time:

10 shoulder parked squats, butt to ankles depth
10 swipes
10R/10L mills

Do not put the non-working clubbell down during mills.

16:16 - 10# clubbells

Shoulders and triceps too sore and tired to use the planned 15# clubs. The 10s made this almost an active recovery type of workout. All rounds completed without parking the clubbells except for the squats. Grip feeling tired, but still had plenty left. The 15s would have really taxed my grip...I can't wait until I'm able to do left hand millls with good technique using the 20s - now that will be interesting.

this work out looks good. looking forward to it

If you go all out on the first round(1000m, 50 45# thrusters, 30 pullups) that is one of the girls(Jackie). Record this time for future efforts, if you are so inclined.
See: http://www.crossfit.com/mt-archive2/000866.html
for Jackie(or round one) times from the last time she came up.

Just wanted to make sure, are the 45# thrusters just an Oly. bar or (2)45# DB? If it is DB I'll need a couple of days to finish the first round.

Just wanted to make sure, are the 45# thrusters just an Oly. bar or (2)45# DB? If it is DB I'll need a couple of days to finish the first round.

Thrusters with empty oly bar or equivalent weight on a bar...

Maybe I'm just weak, but that 45 lb bar was PLENTY for me, thank you very much (esp. since my shldrs still not recovered from the other day). This workout crushed me.

Subbed SDHP's for rowing (1=10m)
29 mins 51 secs of utter agony, all sets broken (except pullups, with only 20/10 on the 30).

Ranks as one of the top 3 worst half-hours of my life, equal to (a) a root canal that went horrifically bad and perforated my mouth (and cost me the tooth), and (b) the commencement speech at my college graduation after I had been comissioned a Marine 2nd Lt the day before - what a hangover! Yes, that bad. I again used my patented lie-on-the-floor-and-writhe-in-agony for 5:37 recovery technique.

Ah, day after commissioning day hangovers, what sweet fond memories...I think all Marine Officers do that...
Today was not quite as bad, but I was punished indeed... I used a 35# curl bar, space limitations near the pull-up bar and I am just SORE from our shoulder day last cycle.
15:43 subbed 100, 75, 50 SDHPs for rows

38:00 exactly
jelly

Subbed hard runs of 4:00, 3:00 and 2:00.

16:55 total.

Coming off a cold. Pukie wasn't there, but his second-cousin Phlegmie was.

14:40
Finished with 5K row

Had to drop to 25# on the dumbells, otherwise as RX'ed in 28:15. Averaged better than 1:48/500m on the C2, but got punk'ed on the thrusters.

I've been slacking on CF and focusing on the Concept2 Holiday Challenge. 200,000 Meters between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve.

C2 is a great machine, but it alone does not do the trick like CF does.

if you don't have a dynamax ball, what would be the equivalent depth for the thrusters? Any ideas?

22:30 as rx'd
Loved this work out. It hurts so good.

24:28 as rx'd, good lung burn! Good luck Meridith! Don't let Dave drag you down.

Subbed hard runs of 6:00, 4:00, and 3:00 for the rowing machine, otherwise as rx'd. 27:22

JBell, are you in Memphis?

Isn't Matt G in Memphis, too?

I'll be there for the holidays starting this weekend and will need a place to workout - any chance I could tag along with one of you guys for a couple of the WODs?

Nice blast from the past. I did this workout last year with assisted pullups. Can't wait to beat that sissyboy earlier version of myself!!!

Game On!

23:23

Pullups broken up like post-prom virgins. I haven't yet wrapped my brain and motor skills around kipping. So I'm dead-hanging it. Everything else as Rx'd.

In the posted picture from Macon, GA what are the various designs on the floor used for?

I've been slacking on my Crossfit lately. This will be a good one to get into it 100% again. Pain can be your friend. :)

I had a Matt G. day today...

WOD was 2nd of the day as rx'd in 21.51

first workout was an improvised circuit i went through with a few pals:

1 min at each station for a total of 45 mins (one, 1min break was allowed.)

stations as follows:

rower, handstand, l-sit, crossfit burpee, box jump, renegade man-maker, plyometric split lunge, double-unders, dbell swings, thruster.

So now i've done all that i'm gonna go out on the lash in fine British Xmas spirit. I'll have pints for you all brothers and sisters!

robp...you're welcome to jump in with me. Shoot me an email and we'll work something out. Depending on my work schedule I'll be around next week until Friday night, then I'm up in Boulder CO for the holidays.

What is a thruster and how do you do them

Mr. Craft, sir,
Go to the link on the left side of the main page titled "exercises" and you will find videos of the thruster. In short, it is having the barbell "racked" in front of you, performing a deep squat, and then using your momentum on the way up to "thrust" the barbell over your head to a full press, then come back down and repeat. Beware of smacking thine own chin with the bar - a very common phenomenon.

Good luck!

20 minutes. Still new to CF, still getting in the groove. Plan to ramp up the pace in the new year!

Subbed SDHP's
33:05
OUCH

49 minutes. Pullups assisted. Bleah.

20:29.0

The following painful modifications:
1pd high pulls for row (1 per 10m)
1pd bottoms-up thruster (ow.)
1.5pd/1pd renegade row for pull-ups

Warmed up with 20 1pd sling-shots, 5+5 windmills, and 10 rock bottom push-ups on plettes x 2 rnds

Finished with 4x20s bridge holds, 4x10 bridge push-ups. I almost have a solid walk-over bridge!

For later, 20->1 burpees.

In today's picture, what's the meaning behind the various graphics on the mat?

took me 53min 20sec
deadlift highpulls subbed row
pulldowns subbed pull ups. did 3 pullups 1st round. Did the warmup too. I need to move this gut out of the way so I can breath, darn it! Be out of the desert very soon.

Tom...you use the markings for different agility/plyometric drills.

the graphics on the mat:

ladder for running ladder drills

5 dots in a square for quick hops in an out working around the perimeter

and the star is a target for the barf

Funny moment to share. Last night I was walking into my local Target when I was handed a piece of paper. Two guys tell me this is my free pass to LA Fitness and they ask, "do you work out". I started laughing and said "yeah, I work out every day". I got a kick out of that. It was good to know that I work out harder each day than their average member.

Everyone enjoy those work holiday parties!

Karl,
Hoist a pint of JC in my name, me old lorry driver!
Ah, Christmas in London. Nothing says, "Dickens" quite as much.

Last year's time for this was 27:15. Should be able to beat it. We'll see. I'm with Kelly on the soreness in the tris and lats. Pull ups last night were stronger, interestingly enough.

18:47 EMPTY!

wasnt sure so i used two 45lb dumbells for the squat thruster.i'm not sure if this is normal but i wanted to puke after each round. great workout, reminds me of RIP
28:42

Mr. Craft, sir,
Go to Lynne Pitts' official crossfit FAQ page. The link is on the right side of the home page or here. http://www.mitymous.net/weights/xfitfaq.htm
It answers EVERYTHING!! Read above, as well, and you can see that moi asked this question (and I know to look on her site, doh!). The answer is sumo-deadlift-high-pulls are the sub w/ an empty 45 lb. bar. If you want to know how to do those, again, go to Lynne's page or the Exercises section. I think the java frame by frame is a better illustration, but the video clip is fine, too, but ignore the first 10 seconds, that's NOT a SDHP. He changes at the 10 sec. mark. 1 SDHP=10m and (despite the fuss this may cause) I think the SDHP sub is harder than the row (heretic! heretic!). This is a difficult workout and I would recommend maybe reducing it in half if you're new, but it could be that I'm just a weak-ass.

16:44

Our rowers were broken so I just rowed as hard as I could for 4/3/2 min. Also, I got stuck waiting on the rowers a couple times and stopped my clock so I got some rest between rounds. If I'd done this without stopping my time would undoubtedly be longer. Good job to Matt W. Mike H. and Rea today as well.

26:02 as rx'd

25:45
Ran instead of row

I really dont think my shoulders can shoulder this today, that last workout murdered them..I'll see if i can just suck it up

23:58

Subbed 75, 50, and 25 reps of 36 lbs. KB swings for 1000m, 750m and 500m rows. All else as rx'd.

Ray

27:22

Sake-bombs and other drinks from last night put a hurting on me today.

cfwu x3

WOD: 17:35 but my rows consisted of 130, 100, and 65 pulls on level 7 since the rower at my gym does not record distance travelled (WTF?!). only the first round of thrusters and pullups were broken. also, this is 13:30 faster than last time, but at least some of that difference is due to substituting SDHPs for the rows last time (i really suck at SDHPs). regardless, 13:30 is substantial and more than a mere substitution can account for. i may be wrong but i think CrossFit might actually work. THE EXPERIMENT...WILL...CONTINUE!!

I had been wanting to try the recent WOD with run 100m, 50 pu, run 100M etc.

Did that in 16:39.

BUT, I wanted to give this a try too. Too many decisions. Since I was running out of time, I decided to do the first round only.

SO:

1 round with 65# for SDHP and thrusters

9:42

Now I'm anxious to try it with 45# and all three rounds. Maybe later...

recovering from a cold. nearly passed out from the CF warmup.

1/2 volume WOD:
row 500, 375, 250
thrusters 25, 13, 8
pullups 15, 8, 5

After a month of crossfit I feel like I'm being punished for never really training legs or shoulders.

how deep should you go on the thrusters w/out a dynamax ball to gauge the depth??????

20:08

subbed SDHP for rowing

Ugh. Broken sets.

I gotta get a rowing machine. I was nearing the end of the first set of sdhp's and went looking for a place to meet Pukie. Fortunately he didn't show up. Finished the workout at a lower pace. No stopwatch but it took a little less than an hour.

It's a good kind of pain.

Until your hams touch your baby cows.

23:24
subbed SDHP's for rows.

Roycon,
That is the real questions isn't it? Go deep, have broken sets, longer time - but a better workout; or go shallow, hit a nice groove, feel the metabolic burn, get a nice time - but sacrifice improving all of your olympic lifts.

I leave the decision up to you - if you choose to go deep, set up some sort of obstacle to gauge the height you want to squat down to. A stack of books, a medicine ball, a bench, whatever you can find.

Good luck.

19:27 as Rx'd
Kelly, you win again. DAMN!!!

The pull-ups, once again, were the really hard part.

Hi all,
I'm still unclear. Thrusters are with 1 45 lb. barbell or 2 45 dumbbells? Thanks,
Matt S.

22:03 as RX'd.

4:30+ improvement. Got some looks today when I rolled the C2 over to the pullup station.

1 45# barbell for the thrusters

19:58 , did 100,75 and 50 reps of deadlift high pulls with 45 lb barbell, all else as rx'd

Matt G.,

Looking back to last year got me thinking about my very first Crossfit WOD and how I would compare, thinking of doing it on my Crossfit Anniversary from now on. I'm at a 1 year, 8 months now.

In case you're interested, here is your first post and workout:

Tabata push-up
Run 800 meters
Tabata sit-ups
Run 800 meters
Tabata jumping pull-ups
Run 800 meters

14 Pushups
195 sec. Run #1
11 Situps (full situp, no hold on feet)
190 sec. Run #2
12 Pullups
191 sec. Run #3

37/576=.06

First time out w/a CrossFit workout. I need a change-up from what I've been doing, I'm kinda overtrained. I enjoyed it, but it's going to take a major act of will to shorten my workouts up like this. Looking forward to seeing how this all shakes out for me.

pullups were done with bar at chin height standing, and then heels on the ground so my torso would hang directly below the bar. (Is this the correct form for doing this type of assisted pullups?) I am gonna use the next rest day to practice the pullup sub that works best for me until I can do them unassisted.

Newbie here. Just wonderin' if you think that chinups would be sufficient replacement for pullups as I have some shoulder injuries that I am working through. Thanks.

I am new the CF world, and enjoying pushing myself at the gym. By the time I do as much as I can do for a WOD, I am absolutely drained. I am getting alot of strange looks at the gym lately.

WOD as RX'ed: 17:13

This one kicked my motherf@#$%in a$$! Great way to start the weekend. Thanks Coach!

Did 100,75 and 50 sdhp's with 50 lb barbell for the rowing. 50 lb barbell for thrusters. Most pullups were jumping negatives after the first ten. Workout included multiple wierd looks, 2 people avoided my area because of sweat pouring off of me, and one trip to hover around trash (felt pukie coming on but went away).

I didn't do the WOD today as i was planning on going for a PR of 200kg deadlift. However the 14 hours i've spent each day (for the last 5 days) designing a gearbox has left me knackered.

Good one.

This is the first wod with rowing since I bought a c2 rower recently. It was also the first wod I ever did, back in Nov. 2004. I didn't post then, but my time with sdhp substitution was 33 minutes. Today my time was 19:20. It's been a wild 13 months.

WOD-No time, I had to wait for machines, it was a real mess in the gym today. I figured it took me between 5-6 minutes to do each round. I had to substitute 45# low back rows for the actual rows. I did the same amount of reps as the thrusters. Great workout.

26:43

my shoulders are finished

CFWU x3

WOD - 27:05

Subbed SDHPs for rows - 1 per 10 meters.
PUs assisted w/green band.
All sets broken except the last set of thrusters & PUs.

I thought great here is a wo where my gym will
be an asset, it has a rower and a cybex pullup
assist machine, instead of a pain.
But no the readout doesn't work. So I thought
1 SDLHP = 10 M then one row pull will = 10 M.

Did 1/2 CFWOD

Row 50 count pulls
Trusters 40 lbs 5/5/10/5 (HR 190)
Pullup reps/offset plate 2/0-2/8-4/10-4/12-3/12
total reps 15
(8:25.40)
Row 38 count pull
Truster 20 lbs 13reps (HR 190)
Pullup reps/offset plate 1/0-4/10-3/10 tot 8
(16:50.25)
Row 25 count pulls
Thrusters 20lbs 8 reps (HR 200)
pull ups reps/offset plate failed with BW.
2/7-1/7-1/7-1/7 total reps 5
finished (23:55.81)

26:35

21:31.6

Subbed Sumo DL-HP's. Bottom line, this made the workout kick my tail and call me Sally. I need to track down a rower.

As Rx'd 22:50 Great workout

31:49. It took more time than is ideal between stations and, sadly some of my stations were taken between rounds. Such is life at a commercial gym.

32:56

1000m row
Thruster 35# 50 reps
20 Pull-ups
750m row
Thruster 35# 25 reps
9 Pull-ups
500m row
Thruster 35# 15 reps
5 pull-ups

Pukie was with me on this one. I felt the worst post-workout that I have since the killer workouts at the Golden cert.

All those ring pull-ups earlier in the week are hurting me now.

First time poster. Cross-Fiter for 2 months. Awesome workouts, awesome program.
WOD as rx'd 21:52

23:17 as rx'd
first time in commercial gym in 10 months. Now I remember why. Row machine was around corner on 2nd floor. Pullup bar across gym from thrusters downstairs. No gas for afternoon workout and fried shoulders from Wednesday. I was glad to complete it.

00:23:25

the seat fell off the C2 at the base gym in the middle of the 750m row. Had to regain my composure and find the seat.

Talk about disrepair. With tens of thousands of dollars worth of useless equipment in the place you think they would at least maintain it.

21.40
30# barbell for thrusters
1 band pull up assist

21:30
SDHP for Row, kipping pullups, thrusters to Dynamax. Felt pukie chasing me today. Must be the flu shot on thursday.

23:14
Thrusters took it out of me.
First time actually using the Concept II in a WOD. The local YMCA has two of them.

As Rx'd
24.33.01
For some reason my shoulders fatigued fairly quickly on the thrusters......hmm....weird.

23:53 as Rx'd

Subbed 800 meter run and 2 - 400 meter runs for the rows. Thrusters and pull-ups as instructed.

19:28

16:32 as rxd, thrusters kicked my butt....cheers, mike

Had to mod the thrusters with a 100lb fat bar because the 45lb bars were being used, so I did 21,15,9 reps, rock bottom squats into the thrusters.

Everything else was the same. Those pullups are tough when you are 230lbs...

Finished in 28.13

On the last set of rowing I noticed a really foul smell, I looked around and didn't see anyone near me. lol, I was throwing up in my mouth a little each row and it really stunk :)

1st round took way too long - too many breaks - maybe not warmed up enough. Last 2 rounds 'ok'

26 mins as ordered.pullups were weak. almost drilled that star on the floor.

23:01 Better form on the thrusters and the pull ups. Nice hurl effort at the end too.

Thank you CFHB!

This one really smoked my legs. Nice combination of push and pull.

Laid in a heap on the floor for a good 5 minutes after this one.

Nice, fun workout!!

a great one 19:00

27:50 as RX'd

Broke the first set of thrusters up into pieces. Brutal.
15/10/5 for first 30 pullups.

WOD as Rx'd in about 17+ min. Wall clock was my time- so it's not "official".
Did the 3 rows in just under 10 min.
Went darn hard all the way. Short rests.
1st 50 thrusters were killer.
(day late post)

100, 75, 50 sdhp, olympic bar

Running clock time : 18:27

Substituted SDHP, which seem a little harder than rowing to me. Did the first round in 19:45, skipped the second round, finished the third round at 29:00 even. Maybe when I get the first round under 15...

25 minutes with assisted pull ups. Great workout! Keep giving us the pull ups! It's helping with my prep for London's January Seminar!

Just noticed that my lame 19:45 on round 1 is 9:30 better than when I did Jackie in August, even though I interleaved the exercises then. Making progress toward coming within 2x of the elite...

34 min

21:35 as Rx'd. Pull-ups done on the rings.

28:11 as Rx'd.

I started with 45lb DB thrusters and after six reps I knew I read something wrong. Did the rest with a 45lb and 25lb DBs.

A day late and a dollar short . . .

23:12

23:42
Had to sub run (2:20 minute, approx 600M) for last row as C2 was occupied.

Olivia:

25:32, 30lb thrusters.

21:00

34:32

Subbed 45lb. SDHP's for rowing. Did 100, 75, 50

36:30

Subbed Sumo DL Highpulls - 25lb bar (started with 30lbs)
Thrusters - 25lb bar
Pullups - Assisted (Cybex #17)

Unfortunately, I did not pay attention and did 30 assisted pullups in the warmup so this was even more difficult.

(Did this one 17Dec05)

CFWU x3(sub'd ball push-ups for pull-ups)

WOD :22::10(sub'd 1 SDHP for every 10m of rowing)

Did this one 2 days late due too much X-mas cheer @ my X-mas party. The SDHP's smoked my grip and forearms. Knees started hurting a bit due to form probably. This one was a great workout! I loved the pushing and pulling. Did Deadlift workout afterward... once my grip and breath came back. Only went to plain on the SDHP's & Thrusters. Pull-ups were mostly kipping.

Oh yeah, SDHP were done w/45lb bar.

GinaC, nice job. Don't worry about doing the xtra pull-ups. You just gave your self a better workout.

A little rougher then I expected, or maybe I am just more out of shape then I thought.

25:36
Sub 25# DB for 45#
Got Light headed twice

sub'd sdhp (45#)
28:12

13:30 as rx'd, or so I thought as I stuck out my peacock chest after looking at the other times. Then I realize I did push presses, not thrusters (i.e. no squat). I owe you all and myself another go at this one (productive punishment), and I'm aiming to break to 19 minutes. Bill

Meyer 31:28- nearly all sets broken
Sam 33:23

Jeff 2 rounds approx. 32:00
Clarence 1 2/3 rounds in approx. 32:00

20:36 after a long weekend.

19:17 as required

I can't believe I hadn't worked out in over a week!! Damn end-of-the-year deadlines and Christmas shopping!

Anyways, made it to the gym today. Subbed running for rowing, and did thursters with 2 10lb dumbbells. Time: 46 min.

My quads are in bad shape. I really should do squats more often.

PS. Pull ups with 50lbs assistance.

25:04

Added an extra 5 thrusters in round 2, but otherwise as prescribed. Time was 24:45

32:27 as rx'd except used 2-1pood KBs for thrusters (70# total weight instead of 45#)

3:35.5 1000m row(4:11--can go faster.
4:56 Thrusters(15,15,10,10), 1 minute to get over there, slowly. Could go less broken, was pacing self. Still cant rack properly with light weight.
4:27 pullups(black ironwoody band) broken.
