AAHHH the Filthy Fifty, I remember this one....

This will be a good one. If I thought I was getting looks at the gym before, I can't wait for tomorrow.

Get it DONE.

Good God!!!

Second time doing this one for me, first WOD ever for my bro...muahaha!
Good luck Mikey

Ahhhhh.... The Filthy Fifty. Aka, Chuck Norris! I'll be preparing tonight for the swift kick in the Huevos that this ends up being.

Get some, Go again!

I'm going to be subbing straight leg deadlifts for the back extensions.....What is the standard amount of weight to use for those? I tried searching but didn't see any set weight listed.

For the jumping pull ups, is it better to use a bar that you can grab while standing and jump to get your chin over it, or is it better to use a bar that you have to jump to just to grab it?

Kevin- Which would make the workout more challenging? Go w/the bar you have to jump up and pull. Though this isn't a sub, a good rule of thumb that has been driven home many times here is to sub up, not down.

Has the June newsletter been sent out yet?

what are the knees to elbows, the slide show wont load on my computer, also should you use any weight for the walking lunges

Drew- Hang off the pull-up bar, bring your knees up to you elbows using your abs and not swinging. Lunges are done w/out weight.

This was the first CrossFit workout I ever did back on 4/27. I thought I was going to puke afterwards in a way I hadn't felt before or since. I can't wait to make this workout my b!+c# tomorrow!

this will be a birthday workout! :) i turn 15 tomorrow... thanks for the present crossfit!

Alex (#17) HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and a fine present indeed;)

Alex, happy birthday.

ahhh..to be have found this site at 15 and realized it for what it is.

I'm just starting and don't come close at all to Rx'ing these things.

Happy B-day Alex. Your gift is the knowledge this site has. Like many here surely feel, it would of been nice to have had this wisdom at 15. Now Get some!

Brian- Nice!

subs for wallballs & double unders (no med balls or jump ropes)? Also, what is 1 pood?

Is this typically done 1 exercise to completion at a time, or have people done it in rounds or otherwise split up?

Reed- Check the FAQ for the answer to that and other life altering Q's.

Matt Mackey- Each exercise is done to completion before moving on to the next. No splitting it up on this one.

Started Tyler Hass' "3 weeks to muscle-up success" program this week on the Power Rings link. Felt like I came a lot closer just with the tips he gives. I've been doing crossfit for 8 or 9 months and it's about time I got this down!

What do I sub for back extensions? I don't have a GHD.

Thanks

Oh yea, tha filthy fifty! I can feel the pain already.

23:39 but I couldn't bear the burpees so completely blew them off. Shameful but true.

#25 Mardana

Sub good mornings or stiff legged deadlifts for back extensions. Use the 45# bar if you have not done this before. Some folks do "supermans." BTW who can clean more, Superman or Chuck Norris?

the 500 spartans, nice!
sorry, lame attempt at making up a cool name.
...also,I just found out back extensions are not supermans. I was taught the CFWU with supermans, so now I always do supermans, should I be using the GHD for the CFWU instead?

Juan- I would go w/the Roman Chair (GHD). Feel lucky you have one. The gym I workout at doesn't.

Pierre- I like that one.

This'll be ugly...

So does Ben Moon Crossfit??

It seems that my wish for all .. got crushed with sgt's post yesterday and an all political war went off.. my guess is that the book ( The Peacefull Warrior) relates to each and every one of you training out there..
so i post again .. our soldiers do their job and do it well! my heart goes out on a daily basis! bottom line crossfit is training us for ANYTHING that may come our way..win lose or draw.. crossfit is your best bet to victory!! steady as she goes capt.

In accordance with all that we crossfiters do:
After 20 years of following a path: a movie comes to
help explain that which otherwise would elude most of
us..

This is the book , handed to me some 20 years ago by a
guide,martial teacher,life long friend and brother,that
forever changed my life and has helped me through so
many of life's never ending struggles, enlightened my
view to all the wonder, and to feel all the joy that
comes in so many different forms. I cannot express my
gratitude to Dan Millman (author), and to my close
friends and family that have supported me in search of
the peacefull warrior that lies within all of us.
thanks, to CROSSFIT for their warrior support!! These are the workouts that bring mind,body and soul together in one accord.This is what we as humans seek in life...health,fitness and harmony with self and with others..

Please see clips and especially reviews/comments!!

Maybe I missed it in the FAQs, but what is the substitute for the knees to elbows and the kettle bell?

I assume a dumbbell for the kettlebell.

Just 2 weeks into CF, so I know I don't have the stomach/back and arm strength to do the knees to elbows, is there a substitution?

#36- Don't mistake people showing some fellowship by joking around w/whining. Your exposed and should be ashamed for not posting your real name. Who is really consumed w/fear? Don't be a J-Hole.

#38 DJ

Just post your times. You are exposed for taking offense.

Good Work out: 27:23 as Required.

Anyone sub the inverted burpies on this one?

RLTW

You'll see mine tomorrow. I didn't take offense as much as I like calling people out who are trolling. I kinda like confrontation. Post your times tomorrow, if you're even going to do the WOD, and we'll carry on this conversation then. Besides, this will probably be cleaned off the site and you'll be able to cry again another day.

Was planning to to the "50" at the 24 hr fitness, but, I could see no way to feasably complete it, since it was during peak times. Will attempt when I go during less busy hours.

Instead I monopolized one of the two racks.
ME Hang Clean and Jerk: 185x3, 205x3, 5x(225x3)
FS 135x5, 185x5, 225x5
Back Squat Bar holds, 5 seconds at bottom per rep: 135x5
same, 10 seconds at bottom, 135x5

Post WO Row 1K: 3:34.7, Damper 7.(might be a PR). Pretty sure I have sub 3:30 in me, when fresh.

30:24
an amazing 19 minutes less than last time,, did 200 regular jump ropes instead of double unders. I am still working on them...

Parkour Russian Style!

:http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=515642196227308929

As RX'd but used a 40lbs DB for the KB swings.

33mins, two faster than last time.

It's my 35th birthday today...The funny thing is that i was thinking of doing this as a demented birthday present to myself. I swear. And here it comes up. I guess it was meant to be...

Right on DJ all is good!

Holy S**t, I didn't even read above. Happy birthday Alex! That's funny...maybe EVERYONE should do the filthy fifty on their birthday--it makes sense in a crazy going-against-the-grain Crossfit sort of way.

PS Alex, keep it up! I've only got twenty years on you.

RE: the link

While i'm blabbing, and, well, it is my birthday so I feel permitted, I will say that, though originally from the South, I now live in Denver, Colorado and have had the opportunity to see some great rock climbers... And what they can do is nothing short of astounding. I swear, for pure strength, endurance, AND aesthetic, there's nothing that compares. To see someone hanging and surmounting a surface that is beyond vertical (where the person is climbing on a surface above them) is an unbelievable feat of strength. I've tried it. It's beyond hard... It's a beautiful thing. But that's what i love about Crossfit--it always encourages us into other disciplines.

Climbing is a worthy one. Let's see some articles on climbing in the Crossfit Journal!!

I've watched the video, but my power of observation must be declining with age... can anyone explain the double unders to me... just jump rope...or??

#50 - The rope passes under your feet twice every time you jump

"ouch" this is going to leave a mark.
rob bwt:240 time:53:33
travis bwt:242 time: 56:45
i had to sub 50 squats then 50 push ups for the burpees, should have probably done squat jumps but didn't think of it until now, our largest med ball was 12lbs, and double unders were extremely difficult and unlikely to occur so we jumed rope for 2 min. i met pukie and his more odorifourus cousin between wall ball and burpee, thank god i make it to the loo.

Anyone..

How many single rope jumps should I do instead of double unders? (I have not master these yet)

Thanks

Steve

This was one of my first WODs a couple months ago, makes me nostalgic. Remember thinking, what have I gotten myself into?

#53 - single unders aren't even close to double unders, and I think the basic CF sub for doubleunders is something like tuck-jumps or other explosive jumping exercise. I have trouble with them too and try to jump rope as part of each warm up to get used to the rhythm and balance required and to see how many doubleunders I can do - not many right now.

19:48 as rx'd, 20;12 last time, 12 before that
finally sub 20! yey for me

...that was 21 min before 20:12...my bad

I was looking foward to this today but I forgot my sneakers at home so when I get home today I'll have to make something up to do with the number 50...hm....

Jason great job and thanks for timing us Dave.

50:30 -- bw 209.5 lbs (just checked this morning), hgt 6'4", age 31.

Started with 5 minutes jumping rope (skipped the CFWU today), then did everything as rx'd, except: the heaviest medicine ball my gym has is 10 lbs; no kettlebells, so used a 35lb dumbbell; and can't do double-unders yet, so subbed tuck-jumps instead.

But at least I finished! the last time this came up I think I only did about half the exercises.

27:57 with some subs.

51:26
20" box jump, Jump'ng Pu(First 7 dead hang),35#DB swing,Walking Lunges,Knee2Elbow (Did 10 then next 40 on Power stand), Push Press w/bar,Back extensions,Sub'd 2 20# DB Thrusters for WB, Only 25 Burpees and 10 Double unders.
Just crapped out at the end. Felt pitiful for not finishing. Maybe next time.

As Rx'd: 36:23. About a 15 minute improvement over my first time (can't remember it exactly, but it was over 50 minutes).

#47 OPT: My hat's off to you for that wicked time.

WOD:

Subbed DB swings 35lb and 25lb DB thruster for Wall Ball shots. Everything else as Rx'd.

Total time: 28:33

Looks like fun, however I don't have a bar/tree to do jumping pullups or knees to elbows, don't have a medicine ball for the wall ball, and I don't have enough weights to do the pushpress (only 20kilos on two small bars). Any ideas for substitutions?

Is there a Dj Lane in the house!?!

27 minutes, only did 25 knees to elbows, and could NOT stomach the double unders. That was tough.

Struggling as I was not in good shape when I started this 2.5 weeks ago, so trying to work into this without hurting something :-)

Started OK, but finished incredibly poorly

50 jumps (only 12 inches)
50 Pull-ups (70% wt assist)
50 Kettlebell (15 lb DB)
50 Walkikng lunges (As prescribed)
50 Push Presses (20 lbs)
25 Back extensions
25 wall ball shots (2lb ball)
15 Burpees
0 double unders

Age 42
BW 163

25:05 with some subs

- Did jumps onto punchbag on it's side, as dont have box
- 38.5 lb dumbell instead of kettlebell
- Did back extensions over aforementioned punchbag with feet anchored as dont have GHmachine
- Tried double unders, but got so annoyed went back to jumping on the bag for the requisite reps - dont think my healing calf could have taken tuck jumps

You guys are killing me here. Its a black flag day, temp hit 130. Im going to subsitute double unders with more box jumps. We dont have a medicine ball here so I'm gonna try pushups with a clap as a subsitute. Waiting on the other guys to get off right now. I've been telling them about the 50 for a while now, hopefully it'll live up to the tale I've been telling.

Ian, the sub for wallball shots is usually DB thrusters, I believe. mimics the motion better than pushups will.

19:41

subs:
35 lb dumbbell swing for kettlebell
20 lb dumbbell thrusters for wall ball

When I wrote out the WOD, I left out the walking lunges...so I didn't do those.....

38:57
sub'd 35# dumbell swings, 20# dumbell thrusters, and 200 single unders.

37:01. 39:19 last time. I was running about 7 minutes ahead of schedule, but I SUCK at burpees and they cost me alot of time.

Subbed 45lb thrusters for wall-ball and one of those 45 degree back xtn things for a GHD (but only went as far as I could with maintaining a good arch). Box was a bit short too.

Greetings,
Thank you for this method of training. Reading the postings and doing the daily workouts have really helped to realize some good gains in fitness. Additionally, I have started eating a zone balance diet and I have really felt the benefits of this lifestyle.
In two weeks I will get my commission and hopefully begin a successful career in Navy SPECOPS. My question is this, what reasources or advice could some of the warriors kindly send my direction to best prepare for navy dive school and EOD bomb school? Thank you for your help. ~MIDN Muka

Hey-

Did double-unders and 24" box jumps yesterday in my version of "Strange Barbara."

Rest only for today as I prep for the US Nationals in KC next weekend. My lesson learned from the last competition is to allow more rest time in the week prior to comp and drill critical techniques. At 47 years, rest and recovery takes a wee bit longer.

I'm feeling great and have improved in each functional movement of the CF hopper.

Enjoy the weekend,

Burpees are evil....plain evil.

Took 2 whole weeks off to let some minor injuries heal-- the Norris 500 was not a pleasant welcome back.

50 box jumps (probably a 18" platform)
25 jumping pull-ups, 25 pulldowns w/ 110 lbs

50 double unders broken in 5,5, 10,10,20 all w/ single skip in between

30:56 Really only a Filthy 450-I pay my penalty next time. Still a butt-kicker

What a great workout. If I would have eaten lunch prior to workout no chance of holding it in. With no rest and just as hard and as fast as I could with a time of 24:30. Its been about an hour since I finished and my body is still shaking. No Pain No Gain

29:33
Subbed 15" Box Jumps, 35lb DB Swings, Good mornings and Tuck Jumps.

warmed up with joint mobility stuff, then:

as rx'ed except subbed 200 normal jumps ("single-unders"?) for double-unders:

46 minutes

Approx 37:30
Subbed 35#db for kettle bell
Subbed jump knee tucks for double unders
Partioned everything except push press, back extensions, and box jumps.

Filthy Fifty-30:28.07

Had to make the following subs:
35lb DB for kettlebell
2x15lb DB Thrusters for wall-ball
rebound jumps for double-unders

45:45 with 2 20# DB for push-press and supermans for back extensions. 1:18 faster than last time, which I'm pretty happy with considering this is my first workout after 3 weeks of vacation in New York and Central Europe, with not much exercise and a lot of drinking.

Times Breakdown:

50 20" box jumps (2:15)
50 jumping pullups (1:11)
50 35# dumbell swing (1:02)
50 walking lunges (2:07)
50 KTEs (3:19)
50 push presses 45# (2:06)
50 back exts. (1:34)
50 20#, 10' wall ball (3:42)
50 burpees (6:30)
50 du's (1:54)

50 Jumping pull-ups
50 Dumbbell swings, 35#

50 Push press, 45 pounds
50 Back extensions
50 Thrusters, 20# dumbbells
50 Burpees
50 Tuck Jumps

Total time = 42:45

Notes: Was at somewhere around 23 minutes after the back extensions and completely hit the wall. Thrusters took 9 minutes and burpees took 8 minutes. In any event, this was a 13 minute PR with better execution and closer to Rx'd than the previous PR.

I'm beat...

25:10

Subbed:
35# DB for KB
Good mornings with bar for Back Extensions
20 pound dumbells for thruster instead of wall ball shots
200 single unders as I just couldn't master the double unders.

First time for the Filthy 50, and I wanted to get a sub-25 minute time, but I was breathing too hard at times to go any faster. Finished off with a circuit class again: board push, mountain climbers, medicine ball PUs, lunges, lat pulls, backwards treadmill sprints, mountain climbers, calt raises, jump rope, DBDLs, ab roller, high knees, DB press, DB cleans, more abs, and some physio ball PUs. All X 2 rounds. 50 seconds each station, 10 seconds to switch.

Got some, went again.

As Rx'd 24:37

Well one week in and this work out shows up. I watched my boyfriend do the Filthy Fifties in April and was tired and sore watching him do it!! I had to substitute a few things due to lack of upper body strength but gave it an honest effort ...

50 Box Jumps
100 Lat Pull Downs at 65lbs
50 Kettlebell Swings with 12lb weight
50 Walking Lunges
50 Knees to Elbows (had to do them on a dip bar)
50 Push Press with 12lb weights
50 Back Extensions
50 Wall Ball Shots with 22lb homemade ball
50 Burpees - Torture ... really slowing down at this point and probably had horrible form
200 Single Unders

42 min 56 sec

Have a great weekend!

19:35

Subs:
25 lbs. thrusters for wall ball shots
35 lbs. DB swings instead of KB swings

38:24

However, I couldn't do anymore burpees after the 15th. i was dizzy and pretty much crap. so i finished the 50 with pushups. did struggle through the double unders.

34:52
Last time was 39 min!
I'm happy with progress. Crossfit kicks by butt but I come back for more everyday! Love the feeling afterwards...

As rx'ed except 20" box jump instead of 24"

43:25

1 min, 35 sec faster than last time and last time I only did single turns instead of doubles, supermans instead of back extensions and 45lb thrusters instead of wall ball shots.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with the time.

DNF at ~35 min.

Got through 20 burpees but tweaky right wrist said no mas. I did complete the double unders.

Sold out early and was on pace for a PR finish, probably under 40 min.

3rd CF workout.

-Park Bench jumps instead of Box
-35#DB for KB, only 35 reps(still recovering from torn hamstring and calf)
-35# Push Press
-Supermans for Back Extensions
-only 25 Double Unders due to Thunderstorm

probably would have been around 29:00 with all double unders DB swings

38:31

last time was 45...getting better. Great birthday present! Now i've got to go cough up blood.

CFw/u minus back ext.

Up 3 stairs and back for box jumps(21 in.)

Thanks Coach and Lauren.

BW 133 As Rx'd

44:05

The Burpies killed me, I was humming along until the knees to elbows, and then caught some wind which wall-ball promptly knocked out of me only to face burpees. I was demoralized doing them in sets of 12/12/8/8/6/4. I have a speed rope so double unders seemed a cake walk after the Burpees.

Morning exercise was a 35 mile ride to work with a 20 minute time trial effort on a fixed gear. Heart rate of 190+ for 20 minutes.

32:42 substituting knees-to-chest jumps for double-unders. Located 18# mediball to replace 11# mediball.

Down from >50 minutes in January and 41:24 last time. Bottleneck exercise remains knees-to-elbows.

Whoa!
age: 34 Bwt: 192#
Time: 55:21
Sub 35# DB for kettlebell, only 10lb med ball @ gym did them from sitting position.
Knee's 2 elbows hurt so bad. Took a long time but finished ;)

Question: Since I have to do these workouts during my lunch hour (and am still not that good at them yet), for the longer ones like todays and Angie, etc. Is it better to modify the numbers ie. 50 down 25-30 and do all of the exercises or start at the beginning as Rx'ed and stop when time runs out? Thanks for the help.

50 Box jump, Used flat bench
50 Kip'ed pull-ups
50 Db swings 35 lbs.
Walking Lunge, 50 steps
50 Knees to elbows
50 Push press, 45 pounds
50 Back extensions
50 Thrusters 20lbs each arm

44:21

I just boinked on the first set of burpees...just didn't have enough in the tank to keep going.

My first time doing the filthy fifty. I really enjoyed kicking my own ass. And seeing the looks on the gym rats' faces while I did it.

BW 198. Did entire workout listed. 31:23.

Filthy Fifty / Chuck Norris

41:19 as rx'ed

Five minutes faster than last time, and last time did a few subs

40:55 as rxd.

Last time 40:32 but used less weight for KB, lower step for box jumps, and 15lb thrusters for wall balls.

50 lunges
50 KTE
50 Push Press, 45 lbs
50 Back extensions
50 wall ball shots, 15 reps
50 burpees
150 Jump rope singles

29:38. Could be better both on form and effort.

30:45 PR!

Aw, crap, bad timing!
Got bored yesterday, so put my unit through this synthesis of "Tears of Chuck" and "Tabata Something Else"-

Jumping Pullups
Elevated Pushups (4 ft.)
Squats
Situps
Rock Climbers (forearm smoker)
Turkish Getups (dumbells)
Arch Rock
Kettlebell Swing (with big irregular stones!)
Burpees

each station got 4x 20seconds max effort/10 seconds rest, then rotate, making an 18 minute smoke session. Not as bad actually as Tears, but still pretty fierce. You all don't mind if I pass on the Fifties today?

Subbed 35# db for kettlebell swings

Everything else as rxd.

29:34 New PR.

BW 202#

Subbed:
35lbs db for kettlebells
17.5 lbs. db for wallballs

48:43
need to finish stronger...db thrusters and burpees killed me!!!

Did a modified-for-hotel-gym filty fifty. Didn't have much in me today though so I doubt my time was any good. 33:34

-"box jump" - jump over a row of dumbbells placed on their side (over and back counted as one).
-35# dumbbell swing
-walking lunge
-50 unanchored situps, hands to sideburns
-30# dumbbell push press
-20# dumbbell thrusters
-burpees
-wall jumps to target 6" above reach

In Atlanta for conference. Trying to make it to CF Atlanta but probably won't have time. Promise to come by and work out next time, Dan.

Age:42, Wt:178, Time:45:40 (DNF)

I am still not worthy of cleaning Chuck Norris' boots, as I didn't finish this workout.

50 box jumps 24" box
50 jumping pullups
50 DB swings 40#
50 lunge steps
10 KTE - These felt like I was being stabbed in the gut by Chuck himself.
50 push press 40#
50 back extensions
50 wall balls with homemade 20# ball
25 burpees
0 double unders (that's a big fat zero)

I might have been able to finish the burpees and double unders if I didn't have to rush out of the gym to take my son to school, but the 25 burpees I did do looked like I was falling down and picking myself up in state of exhaustion. The last time we did this WOD I could only do 20 reps of each exercise with (20# DB, -70lbs on gravitron, 2 KTE's, and a 10# medicine ball) in ~17 minutes. The next time we do this WOD I will finish it.

Kevin (#141): For me, personally, I would do 25 of each exercise, but do all the movements. That would go down in about 40% - 45% as much time as the full 50 reps. You may need to adjust accordingly.

60 bwt 281. I thought I was gonna die! 58 min, without burpees or double-unders--no rope and no energy left.
Box jumps 10x5

Pullups on chin/dip machine w 135 lb offset-2x10,1x6/3/1, 1x5/5 rev grip, 1x6/4 both rev grip.

55 lb db swings 10x5

Walking lunge-2x20, 1x10

Knees to elbows-no way, too much gut- subd dip mach knee lifts 25x2 bwt.

Push press 25x2

BE 25x2

No ball-subd thrusters w/ oly bar, since I didn't read the part about db- 10x5

As I said a week ago--long way to go before rx

Definitely no competition for most of you xf'rs, but I'm still hanging in.

Thanks David, Thats what I thinking. I tried it the other way today and made it through 75% of the workout. Had to skip a couple of things as I was at the point of puking all over the YMCA's floor but didn't think they would like that.

Saved the burpees for last and ran out of gas despite numerous substitutions.

K2Es on rings-- took a god-awful amount of time, and they were UGLY; stiff-leg deads w/ 45Lbs for back extensions. I think 45 lbs is too light for an effective BE sub, next time I'll go heavier.

I could've pushed myself harder..

Only one sub for this today, thrusters with 10kg dumbells for wall ball

WOD time 26:52

owned position 12mins!!

33:56. Very close to last time. Transitions were a problem today as the very equipment I needed was being used or cleaned! It really only affected the pullup jumpers and back extension transitions. Double unders were killing me today.

As rx'd - 31:36. Good one for shaking the snot out of a bad cold. Over a minute slower than last time.

40:20
subbed: 35 lb. db swings, 40 lb. db thrusters for wall ball, tucks for double unders

Ouch! Subbed SLDLs w/45lbs for back ext. Last three exercises were done in a No. VA gully washer - tough DUs in a puddle but rain kept me from being a heat case. 29:55 - a few seconds slower than last time but I'll take it.

As a coach I am very happy to see the boys do so well at this workout and loveing the competition part. The last three on the list BW Matt-265, Buford-260, Bobbie-300 their goal was to keep up with or beat me, great competitive push for me. We had a great day! Hope you all do too! :]

Chris 36:23

This is the 4th time at this workout. Each time I am improving. Each time I do the workout closer to the way it is written. This time I even had enough go-juice at the end for double unders. Thanks Coach.

This might be the sign I need to take a rest week.

That sucked...in the best possible way.
I'm completely wiped, but I feel great.

Thanks for that one.
49:00---The fitness center on post was uber crowded, so I had to wait for some things, or else it would have been faster.

Modified as follows;
- two 20lb dumbell thrusters for wall balls
- 250 regular jumping jacks for double unders
otherwise as rx'd.
felt good, had good form on all reps and thought I would finish in the low 40:00s, but the stopwatch said otherwise.

50:00 even
small delays due to 24 hour fitness factor.

Does anyone have the dimensions or plans for a 24" box. I need to build one and I want to make sure I build it right so that it is sturdy and can hold my weight. (220 lbs)

Thanks

dj,

Magandang umaga bro! everythings great here Ive started gettin all the blue print for the facility in manila. I'll update you guys every now and then. I was eating balut couple of days ago i remembered you. I was thinking of sending some there....

36:50 35 KTE's. 13 DU's then 187 SU's. Only 5 extra KTE's and 13 DU's and still 4:35 slower than last time. Ouch!

Oh yeah, started new job yesterday and have been pretty stressed. Could account for some of the slow down.

1:06,
Slower by 5 minutes than last time, but did all exercises one at a time except KTE, spread throughout, subs 15lb med ball, 45deg back extension, 50 more box jumps approx 24" and higher than last time for double unders. Done at N-24 gym, NOB with no AC HAMF.

did not do wall ball, burbees or double unders rsn out of time.

almost 3 minutes faster than last time. My pull-up bar is 7' so the jumping PU's are easy and the KTE are jump assisted. (same as last time).
still this is a ball buster!!! i love it!

I only had 30 minutes to squeeze this in- fit it in by limiting burpess to 25. Otherwise, as rx'd. I was dead at that point, so the other 25 would have taken 4 to 5 minutes.

1st time Filthy Fifty - 44.56 Tot Time - jumping pulls, KTE's and Burpees KILLED my time - I was totally gassed doing burpees in sets of 5

WOD
:32::20

:03 slower then my PR. I blame that on attending a command BBQ 2 hours prior, where I was forced to eat tri-tip and drink adult beverages. That and attacking this one in a new way. Instead of selling out, I broke everything into sets of 15,15,15,10 w/a 3 breath brake in between. Thought it might leave me some gas for the end... It didn't.

My knee is killing my now. Think I'll turn to the medicinal properties found in fermented hops and barley to aid in reducing the inflammation. Aaarrrggghhhh!!!

I see a lot of people making good strides in their times out there. Keep it up! You all are kicking some Arsssss!!!

Get some, Go again!

Vince,

Right on bro. I would love to come check it out when it's all done. That's funny, I was just talking to a guy about eating Balut today. We'll have to sit down and have a few soon. Washed down w/some San Miguels of course. How's everything else in the PI?

Wall ball shots with ball thrown straight up to 9’ air target. Did only 10 burpees because left side of stomach started hurting.

Ouch - working my way back but still have a bum elbow. Sub'ed as follows reps 20 instead of 50, box jump was step jump (appros 12 inches),lying ring pull ups (thought they would be easier on my elbow but I was wrong), 20 lb DB swing, Goodmornings w/ 20lb bar instead of back ext, thrusters with 2 - 20lb DB's instead of wallball.
Quit after burpees due to pukie.

Age-50/BW-240# (probably more, went to two retirement parties this week).
Tristram/Alex - Happy Birthday. Alex stay with this program, it's kicjing my fifty year old butt. "Filthy Fifty" 42:51 (over 7 minutes better than my last stab) - Burpees UGLY, subbed DB for kettle ball and jumps were a combo of whatever got it done.

Another gruelling 500 repper!Didn't feel like I was moving quicker,but there it is..Less breaks I think

Vince, I'll pay the postage, mail some balut to DJ's house!

DJ, 4x: Ice, Ace wrap, Cerveza. Mix in any order.

And don't invite me over when the balut gets here.

All you sub 30 minute folks, awesome jobs! Great efforts on a classic.

First time on this one... 28:58. How do I count the hour and a half of crying after I was done?

28:02 as required. I must have forgotten to do some reps! About a 3-minute improvement over last time.

30:05

Denied the sub 30 again. Although a 3:41 improvement over my last attempt with the same subs. I might have done better if I could watch the stopwatch - I ended up using my microwave timer.

jumping pull ups and KTE on rings
44 kb for swings (this time I did some one handed ones for good measure)
45lb good mornings for back extensions

planned to workout after work and school, but i took a pretty hard fall, so i've been icing my knees. anyway, excited to report that when i weighed myself today after wondering why my pants were looser today, i saw that i have in total lost 24 pounds. thanks cf

27:03

only alteration was 12# wall ball shots

Second time for me, much better than last time but still a ways to go. Skipped box jumps b/c I didn't have a box. Skipped knees to elbows.

50 Burpees (6/7/6/6/5/6/7/7)

All this on maybe four hours sleep. Ladies and gentlemen, this is crossfit on sleep deprivation.

Full ROM. Burpees with a chest to deck pushup and a jump. No subs.

25 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball
22:09 - time constrained

Last Filthy 50:
Subbed body rows for jumping pullups and decline situps for KTE. 50:13

This Time:
6 L-pullup/KTE combos
150 Box jumps, 8 inch box
6 L-pullup/KTE combos
50 Kettlebell swings, 1 pood
6 L-pullup/KTE combos

5 L-pullup/KTE combos
1:06:00

Brutal. Poor sleep and stress didn't help. The L-pullups/KTE combos subbed for the jumping pullups and the KTEs, they went like this:
Do a full L-pullup, from the arms extended L position, bring your knees to your elbows, then return to the L position. That's 1. I know these added a lot of time to my workout.

Ryan and Joe finished in 35minsm without doing burpees.

39:20...nearly all broken sets and I had to breakup the knees to elbows...but I finished!

whew.

My compliments to all. I only got 20 lunges, no burpees and no double-unders and it took me 63 minutes. I will endeavor to persevere.

I think this was the most brutal WOD so far (for me); all exercizes broken, and here are my modifications:

50 stair jump (13")
50 jumping pullups (tubing assist)
50 dumbell swings (24#)
50 steps walking lunge
50 "knees to elbows" (about 15 KtoE, rest as high as I could)
50 push press (2x14# dumbells)
50 back extensions
50 wall ball 20# (threw in air, not at wall)
50 burpees
50 double-unders (can't tell you how many singles it took to work in the d-u's)

I'm so gassed, it's the next day and it still hurts to move:)

MURDERERS...most sets broken and form on some was comical.
Had to sub wall balls with dumbells. Gym doesnt have any.
Doing Burpees near the end was brutal.
Took over an hour with lots of gasping between sets.
51 years old, about 225lbs and recovering from completely torn achilles tendon last Sept. (I will never ever play tennis again)
Crossfitter for 1 month and loving it.
Beats doing the same old weightlifting routine.
Now if I could only get used to those stares I keep getting from the others in the gym.

Oops...forgot my time. It is a bit forgettable, but good to improve upon: 63min

39:12, As rx'd, minor subs.
Had to use 45 lb bb thrusters for wall-ball. No GHD, so I use the smith machine, bar low with weights, and hang off of a bench for back extnsns.

About same time as previous, which is a little disappointing, but I'll live.

Love the tears

Day late...did 6/3 AM to work off "parenting stress".
Typical scales.

Box jumps to std. wt. bench, sub 35# d/b for swings, back ext. split 50/50 on flat/angled, sub 15# med. ball wall balls, & 100 singles since I can't do double unders yet.

3 mins. faster than last time. Felt better throughout entire WOD, although I still hit the wall when I do burpees. My cardiovascular fitness is improving but is still far from where it can be.

Day behind @ bwt 170#....

1. CFWU x3 -PU -back ext

2. Filthy Fifty, subbed 35# DB for swings and 14# core ball for wallballs, at 53 mins

This was my first crossfit workout back on 4/27/06. At that time, I could only do 25x rep sets and barely finished. This time wasn't competitive compared to you animals, but I certainly feel better, fitter, and stronger.

Sincere thanks CrossFit!
