I was wanting to do deadlifts anyway! Good timing! Comment #1 - Posted by: troyd at March 6, 2006 7:28 PMI aggravated again a groin muscle and squats, deadlifts, etc. are out. Any recommendation what I can do in its place? Comment #2 - Posted by: Alan at March 6, 2006 7:31 PMexcelent. I've been wanting to do these. Comment #3 - Posted by: Kevin at March 6, 2006 7:34 PMCoach and CrossFit Web Manager(s), Wanted to let you know the Navy has blocked this website from access from the Navy Marine Corp Information system. Essential us crossfitters assigned to Naval Posts here in Hawai'i (may effect those on the mainland as well) cannot access the website from work. The Navy claims that your internet protocol address has been reported probing and/or attempting illicit access to Navy computer systems. The Navy Points of Contact (POCs) for this action are: POC/PATRICIA WALKER/CIV/NCDOC/LOC:NORFOLK, VA/TEL:757-417-7138/EMAIL:PWALKER(AT)NCDOC.NAVY.MIL,PWALKER(AT)NCDOC.NAVY.SMIL.MIL// POC/LARCI ROBERTSON/CTR2/NCDOC/LOC:NORFOLK, VA/TEL:(757) 417-7138/EMAIL:LROBERTSON(AT)NCDOC.NAVY.MIL// Please have your IT people look into this so we can again have access to the site from work. Thanks, Buzz Comment #4 - Posted by: Buzzard at March 6, 2006 7:40 PMWould that explain the sore feeling I get in the morning...that I have been probed by crossfit computers while I am sleeping?? Comment #5 - Posted by: Mike OD at March 6, 2006 8:19 PMWhere can i get a rope like THAT!? Comment #6 - Posted by: The Matt at March 6, 2006 8:22 PMThis is Michael and i was wondering, i just joined the Navy and i saw that there was a thing about the Navy so i guessed that there were a lot of people in the service doing these crazy workouts, and i was think is this a good warm up for Basic Training? Thanks, Recruit Michael Culver Comment #7 - Posted by: # 20 Jetmore Has Beens # 40 at March 6, 2006 8:35 PMBeltless standard style deadlifts with straight bar: 185x3 Worked out at the facility across the street from the PD; it's crowded, hot, humid, the bars have virtually no knurling and chalk isn't allowed. Don't know why, but I had a lot of pull and the groove was right on the money despite my now constant lack of sleep. I had another 10-20# tonight but I nearly lost the 315 due to slick hands. I would have needed chalk to attempt 325.
Mike OD: do you still love Crossfit in the morning? Comment #9 - Posted by: Matt Townsend at March 6, 2006 8:57 PMThe "rope" is called a Fast Rope. They are used for F/S if your in the SOF world. If not start checking at DRMO's at a military bases, we turn them in all the time as they wear out. They come in 10M, 20M and 30M Comment #10 - Posted by: Rob Hicks at March 6, 2006 9:05 PMCan someone please describe the "broomstick mile" advertised on the CF Weekend Warriors website? Thanks! Comment #11 - Posted by: Chris Wood at March 6, 2006 9:11 PMDave- Nice pic bro. A bench mark workout for the home gym. Comment #12 - Posted by: DJ at March 6, 2006 9:29 PMOh yeah! Deadlifts!!! I won't be too happy in too days though... Comment #13 - Posted by: Steven N at March 6, 2006 9:44 PMand i thought it was just the aliens doing the probing in the immortal words of richard simmons: "I don't know how it got there, just get it out!" Comment #14 - Posted by: gbass at March 6, 2006 9:48 PM3/3 cfwu (+ handstand practice - fun!) 165x3 Form started to suffer at 285. It's been a while.... Comment #16 - Posted by: Ryan at March 6, 2006 11:19 PMholy smokes, I've met pukey, before (somethin' like 500m row, 50 sit ups 3rnds) but not like yesterday, I frigin' projectile vomitted all over the gym floor on my way to the bathroom, i wasn't trying to go for distance, it just happend. Fran: 4:10 my pr, i was stoked. Thank-u all for great advice on how to keep CFing in iraq, you all rock. Comment #17 - Posted by: leo at March 6, 2006 11:52 PMDoes anyone have any thoughts on whether we should be doing sumo or standard deadlifts or does it even matter. Comment #18 - Posted by: anthony at March 6, 2006 11:59 PMEither way is fine Anthony. Though I do recall Coach preferring standard deads b/c they have greater carryover to other athletic endeavors. Comment #19 - Posted by: Neal Thompson at March 7, 2006 1:42 AMCFw/u CFWU 3/3 Deadlifts - 135, 185, 205, 225, 245, 265, 275, 295, 315 finished up with 1.5 miles of quarter mile repeats at 10 MPH on TM. Thanks Neal, That was what I did and I used the deduction that most of our lifts are designed to make sections of the Oly lifts stronger. Cheers! Comment #21 - Posted by: anthony at March 7, 2006 3:08 AMcfwu X 3...started dl's at 195(bw), and worked up in 10lb increments until i got to 275 Comment #22 - Posted by: chrisnelson at March 7, 2006 3:21 AMbodyweight 88,7 kg extra: 5 rounds of oly bar Burgender wu/5 sec ring L-holds "Fran" from last night 3:30. as I was walking in the gym my brother-in-law was walking out boasting about his 3:21 time. No excuses but I had to go do my thrusters in the fitness room, and then run to an open pull-up bar... I'll do the deadlift workout after work. adios. Kris Comment #24 - Posted by: Kris Kepler at March 7, 2006 3:42 AMimproved my "Fran" time by alomost 6 minutes since the first time I did the wod in November! word son Comment #25 - Posted by: Kris Kepler at March 7, 2006 3:44 AMCF manila: vince(BW160)=135x3,185x2,205x2,215x2,225,275,305,315,335PR! glen(BW200)=135x3,185x2,205x2,215x2,225,225,225,225,235 gifford(BW136)=135x3,155x2,165x2,175x2,185,195,205,215,225PR simon(BW159)=135x3,155x2,165x2,175x2,185,195,205,215,225 clarence(BW240)=135x3,185x2,205x2,215x2,225,275,305,315,385(failed),335(failed) did some stretching after the WOD cf style plus some cartwheel practice Comment #26 - Posted by: vince de leon at March 7, 2006 3:49 AMAbbreviated CFWU (short, -pullups) 185 x 3 btw any news about the elite rings? did you guys receive it already?

Comment #29 - Posted by: Kegger at March 7, 2006 4:20 AMOh, I bettered my "post 40 yr old" PR by 30#'s done on Jan. 27, 2006. Comment #30 - Posted by: Kegger at March 7, 2006 4:22 AMdid this one early today 135 x 3 lots of fun... 135 x 3 almost dropped it on the last three sets - not used to doing them without hooks. Comment #32 - Posted by: Brian A at March 7, 2006 4:37 AMAny suggestions for post number 2 on subs while I try to workaround my injury? Much appreciated. Alan Comment #33 - Posted by: Alan at March 7, 2006 4:42 AMBuzzard, see if you can access some of the affiliate sites. Some of those keep a WOD up everyday just like crossfit. One affiliate I know that does this is www.crossfitnc.com hope this helps, and I hope by the time I'm done with Navy bootcamp this problem is solved. Comment #34 - Posted by: Kevin at March 7, 2006 5:01 AM225 i was shooting for 500 today but still cannt manage to get through 480. thought today was the day for sure but only managed to get the last 2 reps about a foot off the floor before i stalled out. good workout though jeremiah Comment #35 - Posted by: jeremiah at March 7, 2006 5:03 AMtwo things :) 1) that pic is bad ass :) 2) I LOVE heavy deadlifting :) --Z-- Comment #36 - Posted by: Zach at March 7, 2006 5:10 AM190-200-210-220-230-240-250-260-270 Went conservative. First heavy DL since I tweaked my back. Comment #37 - Posted by: Andrew L at March 7, 2006 5:23 AMAlan (#2, #33): Handstand pushups should get your heart rate up. Also, try multiple pushup variations. If you can find a situp position that doesn't aggravate the groin pull, do some tabatas. Pullups certainly shouldn't hurt--if they do, minimize your kip. These aren't perfect subs for squats and deads--they're not subs for squats and deads at all--but they should keep you busy while you heal. Hope this helps. bw = 70kg 100kgx3 5kg away from x2 bodyweight.....just couldn't get it off the deck. WILL next time! Comment #39 - Posted by: karl at March 7, 2006 5:39 AMbw = 165 135x3 235x3 135 x 3 Several posts concern sumo deadlift v. standard deadlift. If you are trying to improve your C2 rowing capactiy, the standard deadlift (with the parallel thighs) replicates the "catch" portion of the rowing stroke. Comment #42 - Posted by: Jamie (NYC) at March 7, 2006 6:14 AMI've heard of walking around with a spare tire to lose but I think those guys are taking it too literally. Comment #43 - Posted by: Mike OD at March 7, 2006 6:24 AM180x3 Still easing into heavier lifts. Warmup 95x5, then 155x3, (165, 175, 185)x2, 195, 205 (old PR), 210, 215, 220. Getting very close to 1RM, and learning about low gear... Comment #45 - Posted by: ALF at March 7, 2006 6:37 AM225x3 Kelly Moore, Awesome lift!!! For those of you who don't know, Kelly weighs in at about 118# if memory serves correctly! Paulw, That's a helluva lift as well; 40 pounds off 3x bodyweight. Folks, that's some lofty lifting for athletes on a GPP program. Comment #47 - Posted by: John Seiler at March 7, 2006 6:42 AMBW = 140 3 115 Finished with 1 mile run -- 7:30 Comment #48 - Posted by: Steve G (age 44) at March 7, 2006 7:04 AM225 245 265 285 305 325 345 3 115 WHAT? Only 9 sets? You're being too kind, coach! Comment #51 - Posted by: T-Mo at March 7, 2006 7:26 AMBW 240 205 x 3 Pushing my max there at the end, but significantly better than last time. A bit worried about my form, but I'll break 300 the next time this rolls around. Comment #52 - Posted by: Don Greenfield at March 7, 2006 7:37 AM135 x 3 focused on sound technique esp. in the lowering phase. Comment #53 - Posted by: Mark Brinton at March 7, 2006 7:42 AMT-Mo (# 51): Max out. Your last 3 lifts should be PRs or at least PR attempts. If that's not enough, you have my blessing to do Fran again, with 135 pounds on the bar, and 45-lb weighted chins. (If you *do* do that, remind me never to get into an argument with you . . . :) ) Comment #54 - Posted by: davidjwood at March 7, 2006 7:42 AM185 x 3 I didn't really do my max. I think I was sacrificing my form and I didn't want to injure myself. I've never maxed on deadlift before and I don't want to screw up. Vince: I rec'd an email that the rings are still in production. They had to switch factories I believe. I did not get an ETA. I can forward the email I received if you want. bjohn35311@comcast.net Comment #56 - Posted by: brad at March 7, 2006 7:47 AM145x3 Feeling very sore going into my 2nd week doing CF... feeling great though Comment #57 - Posted by: d3b3ll3 at March 7, 2006 7:48 AMExperienced X-fitters, I also plan to do a light 3 mile run. Best to run before or after the Deadlifts. Thanks, 572lbs Chris Wood #11 - Broomstick Mile:

Comment #73 - Posted by: Brian T at March 7, 2006 9:15 AMbw=193 3x185 Crossfit Curacao: Flying, oh, every other day, mid 70s to mid 80s, beach or hammock on the off days - after the workout of course. Can't complain about AF-funded spring break, I mean deployment... Ran 2 miles Hustled carrying two sandbags,one each hand about 100 yds then ran back x 4 trying to co-locate sandbags and logs with pullup bars so when gym isn't open, or even when it is, we can rock out on some non-standard/practicle intense work. I was never one to sit on the porch... Hey, coach! Where do we send pics for the WOD? Comment #75 - Posted by: robp at March 7, 2006 9:43 AM3x135 Buzz: Thanks for pursuing the loss of access to CrossFit.com from the Navy Marine Corp Information system and for listing POCs. I spoke with the POC and was informed that the Navy is blocking a large range of IP addresses from our hosting service provider. CrossFit.com runs a tight ship and we have absolutely no reason to believe that any of our IP addresses have been used to probe Navy systems. This is collateral damage for activities elsewhere on the same network that the Navy doesn't like. It's unclear whether the network security folks are willing to selectively restore access to CrossFit.com. That's something they will only discuss with their users and not with us. Wouldn't hurt for you to file a request to have IP address 70.84.68.70 unblocked. That address is exclusive to www.crossfit.com Comment #77 - Posted by: Brian Mulvaney at March 7, 2006 9:45 AMdid reps at top set of 405, first time hook grip at that weight. thumbs felt it!

Comment #79 - Posted by: vince de leon at March 7, 2006 9:53 AMHow long of a rest does each hyphen represent between each set? I.E., 3-2-1-1 Do three reps, rest how long before doing the two rep set? Thanks! Comment #80 - Posted by: Sesoku at March 7, 2006 10:08 AMSesoku, as long as you want or need........this is a focus day, takes you as long as you want it to.

Driving to Sports Authority to pick up 300lb Oly set - $ 4.23 in gas Will do deadlifts tonite with my 287lb Oly set. Comment #83 - Posted by: Mike OD at March 7, 2006 10:18 AMCFWU x 3 (I've started doing something new on these that I learned from Steve Cotter at a KB conference. Do anchored situps--on an incline bench or have someone hold your feet on the floor--holding a KB or DB at full extention. ie at the bottom of the situp your arm is like at full extension on a bench press and at the top it's like full extension on a push press. I change arms halfway through each set and play with the weight such that I'm doing sets of 5 or 10.) DLs 4 x 10 reps of Pullups Thank you Karl, this is only my second WOD so I'm still learning the lingo :-) Comment #86 - Posted by: Sesoku at March 7, 2006 10:21 AMThis is my second WOD, I jumped right in to Fran yesterday. All I can say is… wow! Warm – up – all dead lifts unless otherwise noted. 10 x 45 WOD 3 x 225 10 dead-hang chin-ups No decent weights here so hit a couple of the challenges again. Challenge #2 Sub 1:26 500m row Got 1:28.7 which is slower than my last effort (1:28). That would be cool except I had it until the last 25m where I let it coast and almost reached down to unstrap at the end. Bu$%er!! Tried again 3 min later but couldn't get speed to sub 1:30 at all. Then did CFC#5 Run 1 mile and bench body weight 21 reps all within 10 minutes. Last effort was 8:04, got 7:53 this time. Nowhere near the time in the trophy case - 5:42 is just incredible!! Cheers, kempie Comment #88 - Posted by: kempie at March 7, 2006 10:33 AMcfwu x 3 (missed the 3rd BE as the apparatus was taken) BW 163 3 x 155 I had a hard time holding onto the bar for the last 2 reps.

Comment #91 - Posted by: Meri at March 7, 2006 11:14 AMBack on the CF wagon after a month of too much travelling. 3x65lbs Run w/ stroller and 2 beefy toddlers - Ha - 25min 3x135 I wanted 405 but didn't even try after 385. I was a little upset so I went and finished with a couple of sets of seated calf raises and forearm curls (just kidding!). Comment #94 - Posted by: Jared at March 7, 2006 11:25 AM145x3, 165x2,165x2,165x2, 175x1, 175x1, 175x1, 185x1, 195x1. I backed off today. I hurt my back in January doing heavy-for me- dl's and my left side is still slightly stiff when I put my knee to my chest. It's amazing how much concern about injury will force one to pay strict attention to form. I finished up with some L holds, knees to elbows, and farmers walks., wanting to keep some gas in the tank for the third day of the troika. Comment #95 - Posted by: john wopat at March 7, 2006 11:26 AMI ran a mile with jump soles in weights class after doing the wod ing the morning and my legs are killin me.

D Comment #115 - Posted by: stryker at March 7, 2006 1:11 PMBW- 224 BF- 22% 198 X 3 No Belt. First time Deadlifting since 1991. Way off my old PR of 530 lbs. Was hoping to get 400 today, but just not use to pulling that long. Comment #116 - Posted by: gkemp at March 7, 2006 1:18 PM225x3 Better than last time, but my form still sucks-- Luckily, after my sets a fellow Crossfitter helped me with the form, and I look forward to doing these properly next time!

When I lower in the legs, my upper buddy goes to much forward making it very hard for me to hold the bar(thrusters)/destroys balance(squats). Anybody know how to overcome this problem? I know I can put something under my heels to elevate them, but I would like to do the exercises in pure form. Thanks! Fran: 4:25 w/95lbs Thruster & Kipping Pull-ups Short break then today's: (BW 170) Followed by 5x6 110lbs Cleans and 5x5 30lbs Bent Press.

Hi all, 225*3 Nice lifting there Karl. You've got me today! 185 x 3 while I'm pleased with my pr, I now feel embarassed that this is less than half what some people on here are lifting. Awesome stuff from Josh Everett and Anthony. That really is amazing strength. Comment #140 - Posted by: Markb at March 7, 2006 3:27 PMDeadlift 3-2-2-2-1-1-1-1 Grip strength was the problem. Comment #141 - Posted by: dammit at March 7, 2006 3:30 PMSorry for the question, but are the deadlifts straightlegged or with the legs moving like the romanian deadlift? Comment #142 - Posted by: eduardo at March 7, 2006 3:33 PMWarmed up with stretches, pull ups and goblet squats (OHSs - you WILL be mine!) The post 40yo posts have got me wondering. Can one gain muscle well into one's 40s? Just wondering if my PRs and lack of scale weight loss signify muscle growth or just better technique. I mean - I THINK my beer gut is going away...

Comment #157 - Posted by: Chrispy at March 7, 2006 4:24 PM3 @ 200 3 x 255 Got upto 275. 285(f). No belt, wraps, or chaulk. Legs tired from biking and run an hour ago. Didnt push as if my legs got weak I know my form would make my back do the work...and that never turns out good for the next week. Played it safe. Damn it wasnt too long ago i couldnt even hold 225 without wraps.

Not Happy. SI joint still acting up. 325x3 I think I did too many warm-up sets b/c everything was real easy up to the 405. 405 was smooth but slow. Then, 415 I only got up to just below the knees and never really felt like I had anything left. Later in the afternoon I did "Diane" as Rx'd. 5:56 Almost three minutes better than my previous PR.

I received this response to my 3/2/06 e-mail: The Elite Rings are still in production, but very close to being complete. We ran into a few delays and I have had to hire a new company to complete the production of the rings. I don’t have a firm ETA right now, as they are still running tests, but I should know more soon. We will likely start shipping next week. Hopefully it will be in the 2-3 week range for getting all of the pre-orders shipped out.

I told him I didn't drop it, I "set it down" and 400+ is gonna make some noise, regardless. No bumpers, obviously. I wanted to tell the guy that the gym didn't pay $900 for Ivanko Oly bars for people to curl with. Got my PR, was gonna drop down anyway for the last set. Was debating going back and making up the OHS ME WOD from a few days ago, but given the propensity for heavy OHS weight to fall from precipitous heights very loudly, I rowed and biked and will come back later.
