This one always leaves me dead

Not sure I like LINDA but I luv dem NEW ORLEANS SAINTS!

I'm looking for anyone in Monterey CA that crossfits, I'm having withdraw I'm military and new to the city

storm through....haha

Ugh, I had to make up Sunday's workout today...

YES! Last time I only did 10/8/6/4/2 and only used 24/20/16#, this time I'm hoping to more than double the weight and do all the reps.

I felt blessed to watch The New Orleans Saints winning their homecoming game in the Superdome's official reopening tonight on national television.

This win, in this spot, at this time, is an almost unparalleled display of the beauty of sports.

Let The Good Times Roll.

Linda needs to take a bath cause I smelled her coming.

bridges, you funny

My gym buddy and I have a great take on Linda. Rather than doing it as RX'd, which we would have no hope of doing, we scale it right back and aim to get it done in 20 minutes.

If you set the bars up at about half the required weight, you really can storm through. Both of us were spurred on by not wanting to be caught by the other.

By the end of it, we were both exhausted and exhilarated. Linda went from being a Woman To Be Feared to one of my favourite girls.

Crossfit Rocks.

Yeah, what Matt said. Btw, when I said more than double the weight, I meant more than double my previous weight, not the rx'ed weight. That probably goes without saying, but just wanted to clarify anyway.

Treelizard your enthusiasm always inspires me, whether on WODs or rest day posts.

Thanks, Robert! I think I'd have a hard time not being really enthusiastic about Crossfit, because it is amazing. I want little Crossfit tracts to hand out to people at my gym. :-)

last time/this time
deadlift: 155#/225#
benchpress: 185#/185# still having bp issues

and three people trying to work around each other is not a recipe for a fast time, but I'm not blaming anyone, I needed those little breaks. Hands still weak from my break, I really didn't expect my grip strength to drop like that.

I like to call this workout "Complete CNS failure.." good stuff!

20:45 (277 DL,185 BP,138 PC)

12:56 with 160 lbs last time, goal is 12 min with "new" body weight

I'm with Bridges #8, could smell her coming. Strong work OPT. I'm still trying to work up to my real bwt, but hope to be close today. I'm sure that yesterday's make-up WOD of muscle-ups will add to my "real feel" weight today.

Funny reactions at the gym this morning. I was doing pushups,jmp-pu, hspu, and burgener warmup.. this guy came up to me and said "quite the workout you're doing"- I said "oh, this is just my warm up". Then I got asked by 3 different person, if i was a track athlete, a rower, a basketb player, or what sport i do... funny. Told them i did this for fun.

Yikes! Great workout to kick my arse today. I am going to have to drop some weight as I broke a toe last night sparring, and will probably sub in hang cleans from the full motion due to the injury.

Bwt: 170
Pretend bodyweight: 135
Subbed Back squats for cleans.

Upped the bench weight. My time increased by two minutes. Ugh!

I'm in training for the Army Special Forces Selection Course and I need to do an 8 mile road march today. Do you think I should scale the WOD back some? I feel that I can do it but I dont want to overtrain.

Continuing my commitment to only doing 50% of anything I haven't done before.

Started at 5 and worked my way down using the following weights:

260 RDL

135 Clean (with full squat)

bwt 173
18:15 (had to change out the weights for the clean and RDL and honestly wasn't pushing it cause this was my first time doing cleans at that weight and I didn't want to hurt myself)

Just getting back into cross fit, modified Linda:

It was a "good" hurt.

can someone explain the "keeping the bar in the frontal plane" picture.

thanks.

I'll shave my head before this one. That way I will lower my bodyweight, thus lowering the loads, and this workout will be much easier. I will also exfoliate (as a grown man, I'd never thought I'd say that).

Any little bit helps.

I have a quick question? When doing bench press should I bring the bar down to my chest or should I bring the bar down so that my arm and forearm form a 90 degree angle or just below. I can do either so its no big deal I would just rather do the workout right.

kinda done at 3/4 as rx'd

Jared,

I'm flying to Crossfit Denver just to get any advantage I can for this....Don't you weight less at 3000 ft??

Not really going be a "storm" through...more like a "light mist with chance of winds over 10mph"...other than that...I'll bring my Outlook calendar to time the workout...

Joe R,

full range bro, all the way down to chest would be my 2 pennies!

Joe R. (#42), down as far as it goes and all the way up.

DL - 70# BP - 75# CL - 55#

25:43

Getting stronger on BP. Was able to maintain 75# entire workout. My BIGGEST challenge is that I don't have a spotter at the gym or I probably could go heavier on the BP. BP was on other side of gym or time could have been a little better.

"g" #40- the frontal plane divides the body into front and back halves. Keeping the bar in the frontal plane when doing an overhead squat provides the most efficient distribution of weight through the body as the lift is executed. Basically the weight will stay directly above your center of gravity.

"joe r" #42- Ask yourself this question; If something fell on me(on my chest) and I had to get it off my body, where would my arms be and where would the object be? Hope that helps.

Mike OD,

Come over to my house. We'll build a rocketship out of an old refrigerator box, and fly to the moon for this one. Is there an affiliate up there yet?

If there is, I'll go there so maybe I can finish a pullup workout in under 4 hours...

Okay.. spent 10 minutes loading the weight... go down for my first deadlift, realize my neck doesn't like starting with 255... workout over...
Anyone else think we don't lift 'heavy,' often enough to get through this one...

#28. Why would you scale it back? Nothing at Selection or Q for that matter is scaled back. Embrace the suck. Learning to do so will help you in the long run.

#44 Outlook calendar! hahahaha, nice one Mikey OD, nice one.

Does everyone do all the reps for each excercise in a row???

or alternate and do 10dl, 10bp, 10cleans???
Thanks

I need more wrist/forearm flexibility for the clean, my catch is weak and definately limits my effectiveness on these.

2 weeks into CF, starting to notice the fitness level increasing, I love it. People in the gym think I'm nuts, got some weird looks today ("what in the hell is that guy doing?")

First time with Linda. Nowhere near recommended. I even had to compact it to what I could do in 18 minutes.

10-9-8 reps of:
175 lb Deadlift
115 lb Bench Press
95 lb Clean

Bench Press is pretty much the limiting factor for this one. I'm sure I could go faster if the Bench Press and Clean weights were switched.

14:17 - bodyweight somewhere under 120#. 185# trap bar deadlifts, ring dips with the rings turned out and away at support, 85# cleans. A little tired and under my usual weight this morning....

Mostly pleased with progress...tried to use 65# for cleans, which I've been using for multiple cleans lately, but kept failing and had to switch on the first set. That took up some time, but it's all part of the game I guess. I love this workout, but boy does it ever kill!

1st date with Linda. Can barely type this. Almost as rx'ed, but had to lop 5% off of the deadlift and bench press because I didn't have enough weights. Not to fear, I got plenty fugged up by this WOD.

Tim: 42:48

The cleans felt like taking a break after the bench press. I friggin' NEVER bench press anymore. D'oh!

I looked in the mirror once I staggered back into the house, and almost didn't recognize the guy staring back at me. Crossfit has radically changed my body composition. If I lose more weight, this WOD should get easier, right?! :-)

Had some problems with my grip after awhile, but finished. Just had a quick question-How long did it take some of you guys to be able to do good times with good weights? Just started not too long ago, Im completely addicted, but a lil frusterated.

28:01 - smoked like FREE CRACK! (BW 185 - 275DL,185BP,135CL)
couldn't find my 06/07/06 time
07/13/06 - 24:58 (185 bp, 225 back squat, 95 power snatch)
4/12/06 - 36:19

Almost forgot, as RX squat cleans.

nb. bodyweight ~180#, DL 260, BP 165, CJ 135.

After the second round I decided that I needed to swap some of the weight from the bench press (had it at 185#) over to the deadlift (had it at 240#), which certainly didn't improve my time (neither did struggling with too much weight on the bench press). After that adjustment I was able to complete all sets as rx'ed without interruption. Next time I will shoot for 35:00 as rx'ed.

recovery WOD sub:

7 rounds (no time, but no broken sets):
5 ring dips
5 back squats, 185# (pre-injury 1RM=255# 1/2006)

15min rest

as many rounds in 20min of
10 front squats, 105# (pre-injury 1RM=210# 4/2006)
5 push-press, 105# (pre-injury 1RM=175# 8/2006)

28:38

Note to self: Next time deadlift more and do complete reps.

Also, hopefully I won't have to take that break in the middle to help some lady move 25kg plates that she couldn't take off the seated leg press thing.....just do squats, no weights needed....

Did 4 sets of linda in 20 min, for a bit of recovery.

Thanks, treelizard! But, now I need to buy 2 more OLY bars so I can play with the big boys and girls. I think I can do more on the deads, which will kill the time. I am eating this up with a spoon!!! Love it. My husband comes home for a brief leave from Qatar on Saturday- can't wait to show him that I can finally do a pull-up. He won't believe it.

Still need to get an oly weight set, but budget won't allow so its buckets of dirt for the time being :-)

that was ridiculous!!! almost puked in front of my conditioning students. they all looked at me like i was nuts!! wait till they do it next week, lol!

DL = 155 10-8 then down to 105. I thought my form was horrid so I dropped wt so I could watch in the mirror. Ill have to take some video and post to the form forum.

BP = 175 on smith machine (only thing available)

CL (with full A2A squat) = 85 doesnt feel right when I pick the bar up off the floor when its so low (10# wts) but cant put 45#'s on yet. Trying to concentrate on the shrugs and popping off with the toes.

I tried it once before, felt something go pop in my back and fled to the hot tub. I avoided it the last time, being struck by an overwhelming urge to rearrange my closet or something equally lame. So I did something resembling the WOD, hooray for me...and to everyone else out there with the onions to try this one. Thanks, Coach!

I was dead tierd before I did the WOD from playing hockey for the previous hour and half. Didn't have much get up and go, however I loved the overall conditioning I recieved with this mix of excersises. Hope to do much better next time with fresh legs.

Pukie is not my friend but he likes to come visit often!
50 % week for me still in recovery from illness last week, so I did-
15 minutes elliptical WU
10-8-6-4-2 reps
DL- 95
BP- 95
CL- 65
Time- 25 minutes even
I haven't done bench press in months, because I always seem to miss it when the workouts roll around, so I was pretty happy with my results. Deadlifts felt great, I am finally in my grove with them. Cleans continue to smoke me, but my form is much better. I Did this 12 hours later in the day than normal. Wonder what impact that had since I am normally a morning workout person. Thanks Coach for the challenge.
N & L decided to skip this one.

Kate

Hiked Mt. Baker 8 miles. Today's WOD tomorrow.

Forgot to mention that I only had one bar but was able to transition quickly because of L helping change the weights.

Mike OD- Nice time bro.

Marc- No, but the CFWU is a good place to build up for the WODs. Helps you work on OHS form everyday and PU's as well. I use it almost every workout. Though sometmes I do mix in some rowing now and then along w/the Burgener Warm-up on lifting days. I recommend doing it in conjunction w/a scaled down version of the WOD. Remember, warm-up is to warm-up. You can also use it to work on things as well. I.E., shoulder in flexibility.

Read "Start Here" on the left hand side of the homepage for more of an idea. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have anymore Q's.

Get some, Go again!

Couple of fun things today. Chatted with a friend who is a 2 star in the Naval Reserve. He asked me what I was doing to get in shape for a climb in a couple of years. Told him Crossfit; he said "Oh yeah, the special forces do that." Cool.

Also, will be in Denver this weekend. Called Denver CF and will ry to get a work-out with Randy on Friday. My first affiliate visit!

Scaled down way too much...for some reason wasn't sure of my strength. Should have upped the weight (and will next time). Not sure why I went down so low on the bench press. Squat cleans were to the floor each time.

Today(4-12-06/11-12-05/10-22-05)

Benchpress - 55 (70/70/65)

Have been doing Crossfit for one and a half weeks. Am thrilled with the workouts, the speed and movements make working out not so much a chore.....however, the immense pain, gasping shortness of breath and general inability to raise my arms or legs is a bit of a hassle. What can I say? I'm hooked.Today's workout used 115 for all being very new to exercises but felt good 26 minutes.

a huge improvement over last time, which was about 3 months ago, I love this s***.

#164 Patrick,
Rest days are about as important as breathing. Go without breathing and see how you do. They are really important. Without rest there is no recovery without recovery...injury. It's not a matter of if you get injured but when. Your rest day lets your body rebuild itself and try to keep up with what you are forcing it to do. Remember that rest days do not mean that you have to sit around and do nothing, there's active recovery; do skill work, light runs, stretching. I went for 3 1/2 months on the 3 on 1 off and finally took a 2 week break with the 1st week being very active recovery and the second week being limited to stretching. I'm back now and aside from the initial soreness of getting back into it, I can see a marked improvement. Good Luck.

ususally i really crank out these wod's but today really put the hurt on and forced me to go deep down. deadlifts and cleans are still fairly new to me, but today the deadlifts really slowed me up. it was a real mental battle and i def believe that days like today are what make crossfit so unique.

I've co-named Linda- 'the suck'

Knew I couldn't do the WOD as Rx'd. Someone earlier suggested doing 1/2 the prescribed weight. I thought that was a reasonable place to start.

Dead lift: 135lb
BP. 100lb
Clean 70:

whole thing only took 15:15. Realized I underestimiated what I could do. Will ramp up the weights next time...ug.

Wasn't sure if I was suppose to set the weight on the floor with each clean. Did that initially, but decided it would be more intense,if I tried to go faster and just brought the bar down to my knees.

DJ - you the man, not me...if you used my weights you probably would of finished in 5:12...the hardest part was taping all the pink dumbbells to the body bar....that kept my time up...

A bit slower than last time, should've warmed up more but didn't have the time to do so.

I posted my times with #174, and I've read alot of the comments today.

I scaled the weight % down in order to get all the reps and it seems like I posted an average time. (23:05)

My question is: With work outs like these should I stick with heavy weights with a slower time or maybe fewer reps, or did I do the right thing?

Nice, Kate! You kicked butt! Hmmmm....I am gonna have to have another kid to help me change plates.

Great workout, I really pushed it and I am worked!

time 24:44

Just finished the longest workout ever. Ashamed to post my time, over an hour. Did everything as posted. Can't believe A)How hard that was. B)That I finished it at all!!!

Weight- 80kg
Age-24

Stacy (wife)
Age: 28
Wt: 150

CFWU(5)x3 - 14:15
Rest - 14:53 (explaining moves too)
DL 40#, BP 30# (db), Clean 20# - 21:49

DL she used a bit too much of her back, the clean she just used her arms all the way. Could not get the move across to her.

It was her first WOD.

80# DL, 40# dumbbell BP, 40# clean, 40:34

Not happy with my DL form, and the BP was too light, wish I would've done 70/50/40.

Last time did 10-8-6-4-2 with 24, 20 and 16 in 13:00

Oh, I weigh somewhere around 142 this week

D: puppy version 10-8-6-4-2 50% scaling
ran out of gas after two sets 35 mins

bw: 198 age: 39
dl: 225, bp: 185, clean 115 (most sets not split)
Time: 39:41
workout was TOUGH! I thought about either 1) losing weight to lift less or 2) getting stronger. I've been cf'g for about 3 months now and have been doing both. Wife joined me today. Finished her "Linda" in about 10min (weight mod'd). She was sweating for 15min after and loved it. Good stuff. My two boys are getting into this too. Fun family activity.

BW 70kg

DL 100kg

After 3 months with no oly bar...love it!

When I did my build up training for selection course I continued with my general training program on top of the build up program. I believe it gave me an edge over some of the others, as my edurance was at a higher level.

44:17

bw 82.5kg

Deadlift 100kg
Bench Press 80kg
Cleans 60kg

All weights 20kg heavier than last time and 13 minutes faster. Look forward to 20kg heavier for deadlifts to make as rx'd.

Clean 135 10/9/8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1

53:47

Is there a good time range for this WOD? Regardless, I finished a sweaty, quivering ball of pain. I could literally wring my shirt out. I kept on sweating after the workout and drenched my uniform with sweat.

Scaled back on the weight this time.
BW: 220
DL 275, BP 185, Cleans 135 31:33

225 DL
185 BP for 10,9; 165 for the rest (partner needed to drop)
135 PC

Went from 33 minutes to 28:25. This was the first Linda I didn't puke, but having the trots had me going to the bathroom anyway. But it made sure I tightened all muscles before lifting!

new to the cf game and after reading must of the posts and the feeling of my shoulder I guess I should have scaled.
as Rx'd
BW=195

60 min and I hated every minute of it! lol

BP: un-broken
PCL: broken 5,3,1,1; 4,2,1,1,1; 3,2,2,1; singles from then on.

PCL is clearly my weak link. It would have been great if in my youth, I would have tried Oly lifting vs. BPing 3x a week! Next Linda revert to June’s weights and finish the darn thing already!

CFWU

Did 10-8-6-4-2 reps of 145# Deadlift (96% BWT), 125# Bench press (83% BWT), 84# Clean (56% BWT). Took me 24:12.

It was a good workout. I sweated the whole way through, my heart raced and I know I'm going to be sore tomorrow. I just couldn't handle more weights. I decided to lower rounds and weight in order to concentrate on speed. I'm not at CF level yet. :)

30/M/166

33:00

1st CF WOD in over a year! DL-255, BP-170, Clean-135
At least I finished.

"Linda"

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of the triplet:

Deadlift: 1 1/2 body weight
Bench press: body weight
Clean: 3/4 body weight

Set up three bars and storm through for time.

Had to modify cause I can't do the rx percentages for 55 reps...

BW 250

Bench 185
Clean 135
Deadlift 250 switched to 225 around 5th set

34:55

Think in the delerium I might have missed 6 rep set... not sure though

Bench and clean were doable, deadlift was the weak link and I struggled with it.

175 #, 6'3"

Lost track of time, 35-40 minutes. Great workout, blood on DL bar from shin, sweat everywhere, and tears (at least grunts and groans). Followed with round of golf on beautiful new england day, walking, and shot 92 (One off PR!)

Only 1 bar at my club so subbed as follows;

DL's BW (175)

50 # Dumbell bench press (pretty good sub)

40# dumbell cleans (not a good sub in terms of form, hard to focus on form without bar to get under, but pretty good sub in terms of effort)

Due to a lack of equipment available for this WOD, I decided to do "Helen" for the first time.

I used a 45lb dumbbell instead of a 1pood kettlebell (55lb felt too heavy)

12:04. Not a very good time considering my age and bw (29, 167), however I'm still "just starting out."

Believe it or not it was the runs that slowed me down. The pullups were all unbroken, strict form, no kipping.

The DL was ok the BP needed to heavier and the cleans about killed me. Good workout!

First Crossfit WOD yesterday, since I've been away from bb's for some time. I knew this one would hurt. Aimed for 70% of rx'd.

25, 180lbs

DL 190
Bench 135
Clean 100

I only managed to get from 10 to 7 in about 12 minutes before exhaustion just took over and weights were getting sloppy. I could have dropped the weight, but decided to the following instead:

4 rounds of
5 pullups
5 dips
10 v-ups

Finished this easily without rest, but today I am a hurtin'!

Benchpress- 110lb
Deadlift- 155lb
Powerclean- 111lb
Time: 26:00

Lower back definately feeling it.

BW: 195

DL: 250

Cleans (never did before): just the bar. i shoulda brought my laptop with me, i still them wrong, damn

great workout though.

2.8 mile lunch run

subs for recovery...
"Dumbbell Linda-lite"
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of the triplet:
Deadlift: 0.87 body weight (2x 80#dbs)(10, 5-1 no breaks)
Bench press: 0.54 body weight (2x 50#dbs)(no breaks)
Clean: 0.43 body weight (2x 40#dbs)(5-1 no breaks)
TOTAL TIME=22:16 (bwt=184#)
Bench was a bit too light.

When you crunch the numbers, in this WOD I lifted 73% the total poundage of a full Linda (reps*weight). My pounds/min lifted for this WOD was 1086.7 and for my last full Linda it was 941 on 4/12/06.

June 7: Deadlift 115, bench 80, clean 60.

Sept. 27: cfwu 2 rounds, then 10-9-8-7-6-5 Deadlift 155, bench 95, clean 75. Took 34 minutes to get to that point, and I was pretty wiped by then.

16:27

135 lb bench and DL
75 lb cleans

Screwed up the numbers...

This WOD is 57% the poundage of my last full Linda.
pounds/min for this WOD 839.7, last full Linda was 941.

goal for next time, up to 195 for dl 195 for bp and 115 for clean, hitting the same time, hopefully bw will drop by 5 or so pounds by then.

Deadlift:270
Bench:185
Hang Clean:135

On the last set of 6 reps on Deadlift I severely strained my back so I stopped after I finished the 6 on bench and 6 hangcleans. (No place in my gym for full powercleans so I just hangclean in a squat rack)

dead 185

Linda and I had an interesting date...basically, we kicked the crap out of each other.

DL: 285@10, 245 (1 1/4 BW) @ 9 thru 1
BP: 185 10 to 1
SC: 135 10 to 1
Time: 29:46

After nearly having calluses ripped of in DL last time, I bought some gloves. Today, as I lay on the floor after my last rep, contemplating my recovery time, I noticed that just above the second joint on my right middle finger (which is, of course, just above where the glove fingers end), I'd built up a blister...and ripped it off. Ah, adrenaline. Of course, it's hurt like a som'*()%^ since, but at least it didn't slow me.

I was pleasantly (if that's possible) surprised I got the 10 reps at 1 1/2 BW, but only got one out in the next 9. Then it was clear that if I was going to have any semblance of a workout, I'd have to drop weight.

STILL WORKING UP TO HEAVY DL'S. WANT TO MAKE SURE FORM IS TIGHT! WORKOUT WAS KILLER, THANKS FOR THE BEAT DOWN! SEMPER FI

SORRY, FORGOT TO POST TIME, APROX 27 MINUTES.

BW = 140 lbs.

DL: 205 lbs.

BP: 140 lbs. (easy)

CL: 105 lbs. (still need better flexibility in the hips and ankles)

28: and something (at least a minute better than last)

Hard to do Crossfit with the students back in school saturating the gym.

Paul BW 175# Sub 77% Linda 25:25

bwt: 185

DL: 275
Bench: 185
Clean: 135

All cleans were power cleans except for the last one...it was full squat clean. Power cleans certainly made a difference in time. Even though this was a little slower than my PR; its 4-6 minutes quicker than with full SC.

35:45
285lb-DL
145lb-Clean and Press.
Didn't have access to a bench so I did presses instead.
This really took a toll on my lower back. Deads followed by overhead lifting was rough.
Great Workout!!

As rx'd at 210lbs-54:10
Ran PFT this morning as well.

DL 225
BP 175
Clean : 90

Did the Brand X Pack Reps 10-8-6-4-2. I was hoping to do the 1 1/2 DL, and body weight BP, while cutting the weight and working on form for the cleans. Well, it didn't go as planed on the DL's.
Even with all the cutting back I still took longer than I should have
Time 24:14

a funny story....I didnt have a look at the WOD for this day, and so when I was at the gym I decided to do Linda -- (BP wasnt up to snuff because of an elbow injury, had to scale back to 155lbs (bw 165) and didnt finish 7-5 rounds completely on bp) -- anyway, otherwise as Rx'd, finished in 15:21. Lower than before but not completely done either

when you decide on a whim to do linda, you know you are crazy

Did this today 9/28

scaled wod to 80%
bw 225

dl 275#
bp 70# dbs
PCL 135#

Completed round of 7 and stopped at 23:31. Should have scaled it down more, having some right bicep issues.

Thanks!

Did up to round of 5- 30 Minutes.
225# DL
135# BP

Could have gone a little heavier, but it's the first time doing "Linda" so I wasn't sure what to expect.
Next time I'm going to save her till I have more time to complete.

Deadlift 300 lbs

Clean 155 lbs

All sets and reps as required from 10 to 1
Time 56:59
Unable to use 3 bars so I used two. I think the fact that I had to change weights on the clean/deadlift bar made it that much more grueling--I just considered it part of the workout but it added some time

BW 160

DL 235#
BP 155#

time 48:34

I increased the weight from last time to try to get closer to prescribed lbs. Also did the cleans for the first time from the floor. I was surprised that a 10lb increase on DL and BP and power cleans could add 18 minutes to my time.

Linda is GRUELING.
Made it thtough the whole workout with 265lb deadlift.
