Ahmik Jones, 100 Jumping pull-ups in 1:52
Posted by lauren at July 28, 2006 7:10 PM
Good grief, way to take a rough workout and morph into something more evil.
That was fun to watch.
Great job Ahmik!!
There's a familiar expression! Good Job!
I am scared, this one is going to hurt bad.
this... this one is going to be brutal, glad I called it an early night tonight...
Good stuff Ahmik! I'm in love with that gym.
Pam and I wathced Ahmik perform that feat. It was incredible! Awesome job.
Matt
Been waiting for Candy to come around!
Well, at least the pullups have become the second exercise in Maggie, unlike in Mary where they're the "easy" exercise (the one you have to do most reps of). If Maggie was Mary times 4, it would be rounds of 60 pullups rather than 40. All academic of course - reducing it to "only" 200 pullups doesn't exactly make it a snap.
Does anyone take supplements? And if so what?
Travis bwt 235 "Candy" 47:21
Candy is dandy but sex won't rot your teeth!
that one hurt.
Props to Ahmik. That's impressive to say the least.
I'm skipping these ladies today. My legs are ruined from trying to tidy up my front squats and I am riding 150km tomorrow morning. Aah the open road!
Ouch, this one is going to hurt!
#14 nope, no need. Just eat/drink properly.
No time for love Dr Jones.
comment #14: "Does anyone take supplements? And if so what?"
fish oil caps. it's important to make sure you are getting your omega3s
BW: 80kg - Candy: 22:53min/sec
It was really bad from the middle of the 4th round on. My total reps with Cindy are a little better.
Kudos to anyone than can complete Maggie and 300 Pistols, that's insane.
comment #14: "Does anyone take supplements? And if so what?"
Joint complex containing glucosamine, chondroitin & a few other things. Seems to help my old bjj joint injuries. And a multi-vitamin although I often wonder if it's worth it.
Candy 32:44
Ouch.
20 rounds for Cindy last time.
Candy same total reps
12:44 longer
53 minutes (7, 8, 11, 12, 15) 50# grav assist, even though I can now do a painfully slow pull-up (just one) with 30# assist and so should probably move to 40#... Also my push-ups weren't as low as they could've been. Next time I will do a scaled-down version for better form.
Maggie, good lord, who came up with that maddness.
5xMaggie = 59.28 (just shy of 1 hr)
Now its time for a little GBNT.
Cant wait to get this one done....I always end up leaving nothing more than a pile of sweat.....
2 x candy. i'm late for work.
13:59
Candee
I'm married to Candee...life is good
ouch.
Candy and I went head to toe for 17:20. She tasted like stomach bile.
First round great, second round switched to wide arm push-ups. Third to finish pull-ups were kips. Like stomach bile...that's one nasty ____
18:56 - Candy as rx'd, embarassing...did not have it today
nice work ruari and 31
Pukie, I want you to meet my new girlfriend, Candy. 14:41 of good times
I'm just starting out with CF. I KNOW that I won't be able to do Candy as Rx'ed. Should I start with jumping PUs, or do as many reg as possible? And should I start with pushups from the knees ... I'm just guessing that my max for reg pushups is about 25, and I can't imagine doing that 5 times. Thighs are going to hurt, but I should be able to do the squats. Thanks for any advice.
Extremely hot weather and humidity plus low sleep lately:
BW 180
Terrible time of 45mins for Candy.
All pullups from dead hang, chin to over bar, with no kips.
All pressups with chest touching floor.
All squats to just below parallel with full hip extension.
Least i can say form was good today, next time i'll be shaving that time in half.
QUESTION: are squats without weight (in Candy)?
#39 mwalker
the squats are without weight
I'm looking forward to seeing how my body holds up against 100 handstand push ups, 200 pullups and 400 pistols !!!
That was just depressing.
Candy as rx'd= 31:06
38 min
Pullups were a little shallow, broken to 10's
Pushup endurance was really weak today, broken to 10's

I feel I have redeemed myself! However, got very 'ugly' towards then end, with form failing
candy, 22:31, officially fingered!
Candy in 29.13 ..pull ups were broken into 5s in last 2 rounds.Of course Candy could be an old eastern bloc shot putter..!
Amazed by Ahmiks performance on Saturday! Great job!!
freakin awesome workout!!
Are most people kipping through these high pull-up counts? My dead hang counts are increasing, but not enough to keep up with the WOD.

I expect to improve by at least 5 minutes next time......the raw, open blisters on my hands from Tuesday's WOD slowed down my pullups considerably. I really had to gut this one out.
Candy - 35:29
That sucked - had a personal goal of sub 30 minutes but realized, sometime in the middle of the third round, that this was going to be all about survival. In any case, although my time is nothing to toot about, I am quite proud of myself for powering past Pukie and digging down deep to finish.
And, I left plenty of room for improvement on the next go around.

12:37. Used 2 Pood Kettlebell on pullups to make it harder. Easy day though.

#51
They start dead hang, but soon degenerate into kipping then jumping then twitching and finally cramping and crying
There's a trade off I think between cadiovascular impact - going 'ugly'and going at it as hard as you can - and strength training - perfect form. I could do it with perfect form, but it would take longer. A week maybe. I feel absolutely shattered at the end of these bodyweight workouts and my 'pullup muscles' are pretty much worked to failure. I find that form on the squats and pushups doesn't degenerate as quickly. I have no idea if this is the right way to do it or not. I think the important thing is to try and improve each time - I have found that the quality of movement is getting better each time these come around. I can crack out 18 or so chin ups now in great form, which seems to make all the steroid boys a little unsettled.
@ #14:
Listen to Program #12 and #4, it has good advice:

and I follow the Zone...the Zone is great. I was hesitant to do so for sometime. However since following the zone my recovery times have shortened significantly. I was very surprised as I thought I was eating healthy before -- and I was, just not in the correct portions.
Quick ?. If you miss a weeks or so worth of WODs. Is it recommended to start where you left of or can you just start back up at the latest WOD.
Thanks

I took a week off from crossfit.It was my first time off from crossfit since Feb.
Wow CANDY= 29.55.95
everything broken including me..
sweet sweet Candy had the whole show and that's a natural fact. Time estimated as 23:38. I forgot to start stopwatch until after first set of pullups. So, add 30 seconds. Pullups are feeling much stronger. Following with run of 4.18 miles at. Heat index is around 90 outside so I ran at leisurely pace.
Supplements I take are a multi-vitamin and triflex (glucosamine, chondrotin, and MSM) for joint health.
Amy #35 try to do your best with the exercises the hard way, but listen to your body. If you need to do assisted pullups and knee pushups so be it. No one should look down on you if you are doing your best and no exercise is worth injurying yourself. We are all at different fitness levels but we don't judge we support and encourage. You will do great. Jim
Photoman, thanks for the website.

Pull-ups broken in rounds 4 & 5 @ 14, 6
Push-ups unbroken
Squats broken around groups of 20.
My best pace for Cindy is 1.5 rounds per minute.
I was about 10% slower with Candy.
I think the squats were the difference since I can go unbroken all thru Cindy but not Candy.
Interested to see and hear everyone's comparisons (and theories)...

Candy 12:56
1st set of pullups unbroken (1st time doing 20 in a row)
After that pullups broken and at muscle failure I went right to jumping pull ups.
Pushups mainly unbroken 2 and third set broken, but that was just mental weakness.
Squats broken in second set at 50 and ten.
Sweated like a champ HR finished around 180.
Great workout!
Dwight
Ahmik, well done.
3/5 Candy, 25:00
I ran out of gas at 3 rounds. Need to feed the machine.
Candy is dandy but a gunshot to the head is quicker.
This was brutal. 46:28. Pull-ups a mix of kips, assisted and jumping pull-ups.
Watching Ahmik doing the 100 jumping pull-ups was great inspiration and as I struggled with 5 jumping pullups doing Candy I had even greater appreciation for that awesome feat. Great job Ahmik--I was glad to see it in person.
I go through 3 rounds in 22:00... then threw up a couple of times. I think I'll call it a day.
Candy 24:25
Getting better all the way around.
I'll just fantasize about Maggie for now.

pull-ups broken but honest.
Push-ups 10 sets of 20

Did a custom routine I call "Candy Ass":
10 pullups (assisted at 11)
20 pushups (sets 3-5 broken at about 10)
30 squats
19:08
Near-perfect form, though (including on the part of the pushup I call the "Seal" or "Worm", where you lie on the floor completely straight, chin to ground, gasping without normal workout people wondering whether to snicker or call an ambulance)
also: my take on supplements is eat well, sleep enough, take cold showers after workouts and limit supplements to ibuprofen when it gets really bad

Pull-ups with assist
Push-ups to failure and then modified

I truly find it hard to believe that anyone is posting times in the 12-13 minute range.
with 600 reps that would be about 1 rep every 1.33 seconds not counting transition time and rest time if broken sets.
I call bull crap!!!
Amik, you rock!
Garrett, #59, you suck. No, really. :)
I did what I call "Penny Candy" (vice Paolo's Candy Ass, which might be more appropriate):

20 Bent-Knee Pushups
30 Squats

I never thought I was diabetic, but this candy almost made me sick! :)
Rock on, Amik!!
p.s., Ahmik, sorry about misspelling your name.
51 y/o, 152lbs.
Candy: 31:11
BUT did all PUs with 40lb. Gravitron assist. Sharp pain in my outside left lat for the past week so there was no way I was going to get 100 PUs unassisted. The masochist in me looks forward to the next time when I can try it straight up.
The big news is the mental toughness it took to complete this. Going in I told myself that I would only do 3 rounds. Once in, I couldn't let myself down by not finishing the WOD. Thanks Crossfit.
What would be the sub for pullups without having to use a machine. I have nothing at my house except for a jump rope and some kettlebells.
I missed my 4:30 AM workout this morning as I was just too exhausted from running yesterday lol. This will be my first official WOD! I am going to try to do Candy! I know I can hit the squats and the pushups with no troubles. The pullups are gonna have to be jumping though. I just haven't built the strength to get my big butt off the ground and to the bar otherwise. You guys are absolutely amazing doing 20+ pullups unassisted and unbroken. I bow to you guys! Hopefully I will put up a good time though! Wish me luck! Should I post my BW and age along with my time?
Holy Freakin' Moly! Is it okay to whimper before during and after the WOD? Broken sets but finished. 35 min.
1 round of Cindy X 4 = 1 round of Candy
20 min of Cindy X 4 = 1st 20 min of Candy

Same as with OPT...just didn't have it today.
Pullups were 20; 15,5; 10,5,5; 10,5,5; 8,5,5,2
Pushups were 40; 40; 20,20; 20,10,10; 15,10,5,5,5
Squats all unbroken.
I want to watch folks in the 12:00 minute range for Candy...that would be freaking impressive and hugely motivating!!!
And 12:00 for Maggie? Hmmm...I find it inconceivable that you can move your body fast enough on one-legged squats & hand-stand pushups to do 150 reps (each leg), 200 pullups, and 100 HSPU, averaging less than 1.5 seconds per rep (including transitions).
that was sugar-free Candy from a boiling lake in hell.
31:17 as rx'd.
went out too fast and cocky, ended with slow, breathless humility.
but the good news is that I didn't vomit and I'll feel like it never happened in about an hour.

Charles (105), There really isn't a sub for pullups, but there are 3 options. Assuming you do the crossfit warmup, you will be doing pullups everyday, so you might want to invest in some sort of bar.
1. Go to a local park and find something to do pullups on (tree branch, a shorter swing set, etc.)
2. Find a railing or banister, lie underneath it and pull yourself toward it.
3. Find the heaviest thing in your house that you can lift. Bend over, grab it, and pull it toward your chest. Lower and repeat.
Note that 2 and 3 are not really subs, just something to work your lats until you can get a pullup bar. The kind that mount over a doorframe can be had for around $50 or less.
just found out about crossfit yesterday...

Candy: 27:58 as prescribed.
Pullups were OK, pushups in large sets continue to suck, should have pushed harder on squats. Just not feeling very energetic today.
32:57
5 rounds
20 pullups (13 assist)
40 pushups (from knees)
60 squats
Oh yeah, and my time includes listening to an expert on pullups telling me I was going to hurt my shoulder "jerking like that", i.e., doing kipping pullups. He seemed a little hurt when I didn't change over to his method, no-kip with about 1/2 range of motion.
#104
Charles,
I felt the same way. It is amazing what one can actually do.
tried to do 4 days in a row, ran yesterday and a date with maggie today was awful 4th set shut down at 30:23 with 5 hspus 25 pull and 0 squats ..maggie i want another date
something different, too many subs:
400m treadmill @1% - 2:04
60 squats

Good Lord after being on the road for 400 miles today, this one is gonna hurt tonight.
Question, is it better to do regular pullups and break up the sets or do weighted pullups to get the 20 reps unbroken? I want to stick with unassisted even though I can't get to 20 reps (for sure not for 5 rounds), is that okay, as I feel it'll make them easier in the long run. Thanks yall

Strange how my times got better after the 2nd round. I went balls to the wall on the first round and the following rounds I decided to just survive them. I had to take pretty long rests in between rounds, and I had to eat saltine crackers and tums on the last 2. No need for any cardio today!

Ouch--I did modified Maggie. I had to do jumping pullups and the squats were two-legged but it was around 54-56 minutes (forgot to stop the watch until it hit 58).
As rx'd: 15:47
All pullups were dead hang, but I varied the grip.
Supplements: I like to keep all kinds of things around that I can cook with (goji berries, herbal vinegars, reishi mushroom, seaweed, nettles, Ayurvedic tonic jams, ginger, cayenne), make into tea (too many to list) or throw in a smoothie (cod liver oil, protein powder, bee pollen, spirulina). I make all kinds of zoom balls and energy balls, keep lots of nervines around (tea, tincture, you name it) as well as B complex supplements (liquid or sublingual) for stress, and I always have trace minerals around, as well as electrolyte drinks, and emergen-C.
On a regular day I only use maybe one to three of the above.
When I was really deficient (anemic, etc.) I took the best multivitamin I could find (Oregon Health Multi-GuarD with CoQ10) and Floradix Liquid Iron and Herbs until I got back on track.

After this WOD, work will not be fun tonight.
Good job on your workout Tami, aka Nag.
# 138 - it's better to do regular pullups. after you can no longer manager 1 pullups, then begin jumping pullups.
you might consider breaking the sets into mini sets. eg. 4 sets of 5 pullups. of course, try to limit the time of your breaks.
if your first round takes longer than ~7 minutes, then you might consider scaling down the reps in the remaining rounds.
Brent(#116) Good job sticking Maggie out. I considered doing Her today, but knew it would take forever. Once again, nice job!
BTW, for post #144, I did Candy.
Maggie - 40:45
HSPUs done off 2x4 blocks (top of head to carpet - don't need to encourage extra "banana" back), reduced kip parallel grip pullups, butt to ankles pistols....held on to 10# for extra balance - made pistols a little easier but they still kicked my butt.

Don't miss this episode! It's AWESOME!!! In addition to following the Paleo diet, Laird's fitness regime is what I would call Organic Crossfit and it completely reaffirms all of the Crossfit principles.
warm-up: capoeira class (1.25 hrs)
Candy -- 5 x 20 pullups, 40 pushups, 60 squats
-Pull ups on the gravitron, at ascending levels of assistance (80,90,100,110,120), grips varied, hideously broken, so much so that i didn't even bother to keep track
-Push ups broken as well: 15,15,10
-Squats varied 20,20,20 and 30,30

on the plus side, I am slowly turning all the "trainers" in my gym on to crossfit, because they're constantly asking me what type of workout I'm doing...
peace...
Seems everyone wants Candy, so I danced with Maggie in 31:20. Last time I did 12+ rounds of Mary, so the time seems ok. Maggie wasn't too impressed because I was sweating pig though...
I seriously suck at anything that involves high-rep push-ups...Seriously, I reach failure like a baby after 15 reps, it's ridiculous! Yesterday I did a workout from the archives that called for 21-15-9 Hang-Squat-Clean, 50lb dumbells, and Handstand Pushups, that didn't help matters at all.
Picked Candy and got totally owned at 27:00 and change. I'm going to sulk in the corner now.

"Candy"
17:14 as rx'd
Comparing it to my last Cindy WOD (23 rounds) I am able to observe that I am outputting the same amount of power in a shorter amount of time.
Cindy: 23 rds = 20:00/
Total Pullups:115
Total Pushups:230
Total Squats:345
Candy: 17:14
Total PUs:100
Total Pushups:200
Total Squats:300
Practically the same amount of effort in less time. I think that I can sprint to completion something like Candy where I have a fixed ending as opposed to something like a 20:00 Max Rep effort that is more open ended. Probably for the same reasons I/Most Ppl can run faster and longer on treadmills (fixed track) vs the open road (open ended amount/speed/pwer/etc).
Supplements
You know how when you cut into an apple it starts to turn brown?This is called oxidation.
Without making this a science class,the same thing is happening on a cellular level when you train.The harder and more frequently you train the more oxidation is taking place,so all crossfitters/athletes should be taking a high antioxidant multi-vitamin on top of proper nutrition.Ibuprofen,Tylenol,Aspirin all impede protien synthesis,if you just tough it out you will benefit more from your workout physically and mentally.

pullups-all deadhang, broken into 10's and 5's

squats seem to be the limiting factor
candy 43:24 as rx'ed
age : 30
bw : 216
goal for next time 41:00
limiting factor: pull-up's.. which I was doing one or two at a time by round 3. first set of pull-ups was 10.. gotta figure out how to get that higher.
Jacon #161: Why not just drink green tea instead of popping antioxidant pills? Just curious.
Maggie, with the following subs....
20 HSPU's
40 jumping pullups
60 back stance knife hand circular blocks, switching legs
21:58
Will be on the road and doing lots of cals (likely) next week (add to that my hands are still raw from pullups last go-round), so did Coach Rutherford's "Fitness conduit" workout instead:
21-15-9 rounds of db thrusters (35% weight/40 lbs); ball slams (20 lb ball); pullups (kipping).
15:15 - all sets broken (except last series of ball slams) - did the "lie on ground and recover" dance afterwards.
Candy, 37 minutes, tough one today. I did the pull-ups in sets, 4 of 5 reps for each of the 5 rounds (does that make sense?!?!?). Complete set of pushups and complete of squats.
Could have pushed myself for the pullups, I didn't feel that bad afterward. Maybe next time shoot for 10 reps at a time?

I do drink green tea,however it is a diuretic which means it can dehydrate you so I only drink it once in a while.Of course I'm sure we are all drinking enough water and electrolytes....right.
Candy: 49:54 mins - all sets broken, all reps full ROM.
Candy- 23:57 as rx'ed, easily one of my worst performances in the past 4-6 months. I felt fine and I had the energy but I just couldn't pump out the push ups (of all things) and the squats didn't go so great as well. I'm shooting for sub 18 min next time.
now that my head has cleared (of Candy), I realize that my power output was less than my last Cindy.
Cindy: 18 rounds in 20 minutes: 540 reps (540/20=27)
Candy: 20 rounds in 31 minutes: 600 reps (600/31=19)
my Candy time should have been around 22 minutes.
Now, had I calculated a targeted time to achieve the same power output, I wonder if that would have effected my actual time?
I will have to try this one again. But not tomorrow!
Candy-ass
I only did 3 rounds, as it's almost happy hour.
22:28 with 50 lb assist pull-ups (bw150)

This was a rough one. We didn't do an exact time but we both finished in less than 25 minutes.

60 Squats

Push-ups were my limiting factor.
Ben: 19:45
Normally do equivalent 6 rds Candy when doing Cindy for 20 min. Can definitely do more when broken into smaller increments. Cardiovascular endurance vice muscle endurance?

J.Messano I would not compare my cindy times to candy times. From my experience I was breathin way heavier doing candy than doin cindy. Besides candy has way more reps at 1 time. To me there is no comparison. Sure they have the same movements but rds 3-4-5 felt like the late rds in cindy and for a longer period of time. I did candy in 29 something next time I expect 28 or 27..
Rounds 1 through 3 in 6 minutes.
Rounds 4 through 5 in 8 minutes each.
Total time 40 minutes.
This one hurt!
3 rounds of Candy in 21:01
That was the worst I felt during a workout since I started doing Crossfit, hence skipping two rounds. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I'll have to make up the last two rounds before tomorrow's WOD.
Only four rounds of Candy, but did it with ten pounds in my vest, @ 31:02. My right shoulder was bothering me a bit, so I decided to stop. I figured that this is the first out of three days and I didn't want to be going into the next two days having to back down because of it.
John Messano #175, but didn't your time increase the more rounds you did? For me, I did:
53 pullups, 100 push-ups, 150 squats for Cindy and (20 min) 303/20 (15.15)
100 pullups, 200 Push-ups, 300 squats for Candy (53 min) 600/53 (11.32)
But since I timed my rounds I know that I got the first 2.5 candies done in approx 20 minutes, and the last half of the WOD was approx 33 (give or take thirty seconds). I'd venture a guess that your last sixty reps lowered down the average.
My God, I'm doing math voluntarily. The things we do for Crossfit. ;)
Still cashed from the 10K.

"Candy" as rx'ed in 17:30. This doesn't square with my Cindy score, last time 27 rounds in 20 min. The fatigue of the double Cindy rounds here was noticeable, particularly with the push ups where i had to break at 20 then on the 10's and so forth. Pullups kipped and after the first round, I took a 10sec break at 10, squats broken at 30. I think if Candy was 10 rounds of Cindy rounds I would have gone sub 10, but who can say for sure. Great workout. BW: 176, YOA: 57 Thanks, Coach!
but in terms of power output (Coach? anyone?), Candy was far more challenging for most of us.
assuming the same total number of reps completed (600 (5 rounds of Candy or 20 rounds of Cindy), Candy took longer, it felt harder, and the power output was significantly less.
was it muscle endurance that crushed me?
and certainly, I've had more dates with Cindy. i know that girl, as dennyy mentioned. i know i'll be suffering when I pass round 14 or 15. so I'm ready to accept the discomfort.

Compares to Cindy of 21 or 22 rounds.

I end up doing more "work" doing Cindy approx 22 rounds. This is more intense though. Ithink this is better viewed by me as Angie prep, greater set volumes prior to switching. equivalent #s etc, just absent the situps.

Seriously, this is demoralizing. This was my 5th WOD, and and I'm ashamed I ever called myself in shape or an athlete, and this is coming from a former collegiate defensive back. I can't wait to see how I've progressed weeks from now.

Candy -- as rx'd -->33:06

interrupted by some radio traffic I had to deal with--probably added 3 minutes or so to the time
16:45
jog to park 1/4 mile warmup, right into it.
hard after doing 125 PU's on weird playground bars.
ROM not the best due to being in a hurry.
18:43 for Candy. Pull ups broken 12/8. Push ups on parallettes broken 25/15 (until final set - 20/12/8). Squats broken 40/20 (until last - 30/30)
I was really pressed for time, so I did 3 rounds of Candy: 22:00 (approx).
It took me about 1 1/2 hours to recover and actually feel normal...I think this made me feel as bad as I could feel and it took every ounce of will to beat Pukie back into submission......................PAINFUL
