First Linda...now Cindy and/or Mary....why are all these ladies out to get me this week?? DJ, not me is the ladies man...I am sure he can handle all them!

Now to go to sleep and dream of getting my *** handed to me again tommorow...ahhhh, sweet sweet dreams.

Hit 'Cindy-rella' today...posting it up in case anyone wants a shot.

Crossfit is about to be deleted from wikipedia, so someone needs to change it a bit, and I don't know how. It needs to be done by tomorrow, or it will be deleted

Did Cindy today: 13 rounds, plus 5 PU and 7 push ups. That's an improvement from the last, at 12+ rounds. Seem to have done some damage to my knee though on the squats, and will take a break from exercises involving squatting in upcoming WODs.

Mary kicked my butt last time. Tomorrow she's mine!

Too funny to see this come up. I was suggesting the alternatives to Linda yesterday, for N & L because of sharing the bar and time constraints and Cindy was one of the suggestions that I gave. L said knowing his luck she would be tomorrow's WOD, and said nope. He'll have to do it anyway!

Kate

my first repeat WOD, hopefully I'll be able to see a good improvement over a few weeks ago.

Comment #3

What are you talking about?

Please clarify.

There is no basis for your comment.

#8 maximus:

check out the wikipedia article. they have a banner at the top stating,

"It is proposed that this article be deleted, because of the following concern:

advertising, vanity"

and also,

"The article may be deleted if this message remains in place for five days (This template was added: 27 September 2006)."

did Cindy
12 rounds this time with 3 seconds to spare.
Same thing as last time, except last time Cindy was after a rest day and this time did Linda yesterday. So initially it doesn't look like an improvement but with the gains in Linda, having the ability to keep Cindy the same is an improvement.

from wiki:
".... Articles about companies and products are acceptable if they are written in an objective and unbiased style...."

Anyone that can explain Crossfit can not be objective and unbiased!! Either you do it and love it or don't do it and fear it.

"...so articles about very small "garage" or local companies are not likely to be acceptable.... "

CrossFit seems to be the quintessential "garage" company.

CrossFit is better off without Wiki. I mean really, we can come up with our own controvery, right? And, anyone that wants to know about CrossFit doesn't need to go anywhere other than Crossfit.com

Cindy as rx'd
16 rounds + 5 pullups

Well, it is time to meet Mary. I hope she is gentle.

# 2 Jerry, that is some nice work.

Well at least Cindy doesn't weight quiet as much as Linda does. ;-)

Cindy 23 rounds
I wanted a new pr but my left shoulder hurt too much.

CrossFit doesn't need advertisement of any sort because its principles and following spread by word of mouth faster than any geek could type the word Crossfit. Leave the politics where it belongs.

#15 treelizard, trust me, Mary is a fatty.

First time for Mary. A new favourite.

HSPUS - Full extension and nose 2 inches short of touching ground(last 2 rds broken)
Pistols - Supported with one hand on bar taking just enough weight off to keep intensity.(unbroken)
Pullups - kipping various grips(last 4 rds broken)

8 rounds (in 19:29)

BW 67kg

mrjling, that's not a very nice thing to say about your new favorite. :P 'sides I'm just whining because Linda worked me for 40 minutes. At least with Cindy it'll only be 20.

I fear she won this battle but I'm gonna win the war!!

13 rounds with ring pullups. That's 2 rounds more than two weeks ago! I guess I'm getting more accustomed to the rings.

Back after 16 months off. In a new house and have not yet set up work out area, so no way to do pullups.

15 minutes
10 situps
10 pushups
15 squats

Approx. 7-8 rounds. Didn't really count - just trying to ease myself back in.

Cindy for 10 rounds in 14 min.

Lots of poor excuses why I didn't go the full 20 min...
First time not finishing a wod though...I feel dirty

cindy 17 rnds
little sore from yesterday
but once the blood got flowing...all good!

Cindy: 15 rnds in 19 min. Up 3 three rnds since last time, and pull-ups where unassisted!!

She was mine today.

Mary's HOT and I really like her! Substituted asstd ring pull-ups for the real thing, and used rings for balance in the one-legged squats. I took "10 One legged squats, alternating" to mean 5 each leg.

CFWU ( 3 x 12)
HSPU x 5
O-LS x 10
Rng-PU x 15

10 x rounds in 20:00 exactly, sprinted thru the last rnd.

"Cindy"
24 Rounds

Does everyone pretty much accept Mary as being a balanced workout with regards to the different parts of the body? I'm coming from the position where one-legged squats are quite a bit easier for me than pullups, and I have to wonder - Am I just a really unbalanced guy, or are these workout numbers somewhat arbitrary?

This seems to come up a lot for me when I'm doing the WoDs, and it seems like a valid point to consider. With Linda for example, I can easily clean much more than I can bench press. So are these workouts supposed to represent an abstract idealized proportion for fitness ability that is 'right' in some way and I'm just out of whack? Or is any distribution of ability pretty much valid and the workouts are just arbitrary?

Maybe this would be more appropriate for the forums.

Should have looked at todays WOD before attempting yesterdays. Knees hurting so all I did was Bench and DL.

my time was 20:25

Did Cindy today. Got 6 rounds, which is about the same as last time except this time I was able to do it without blowing out. Much better on the PUs. I still did jumping pull ups but the bar was really high which made me pull a lot on my own. I think the weakness is at the bottom of the pull, that is getting it started. I can feel once I get to a certain point, the muscles "catch" and I feel much stronger. Weird. Thoughts?

Also fact that I was doing Cindy in the morning instead of after work made the pukie more likely, which slowed me down.

Not to self the Kalamazoo Athletic Club does not have a pull up bar.

140 LB Pulldown on Nautilus Machine everything else as RX'ed. Tried to do PU's on Smith machine but I am to tall.

12 Rounds 3 rounds better than last time.

Mary: 9 rounds plus 5 hspu's and 2 one legged squats, up from 9 plus 2 hspu's last time. Inching to 10 rounds(someday) but I must say after the 5th round, pullups were broken at 7 then at 5 which really slowed me up. Tough one after Linda yesterday. Thanks, Coach!

mary - 5 rounds + HSPU, pistols, 10 PU

Skipped out on this girl way too often - just like I have skipped out on much of my bodyweight stuff

"Cindy" - As many rounds in 20 mins of:
5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 squats

Got 18 rounds and 5 pull-ups with 5 secs to spare. I actually think this is a PR but I really have no excuse not to be topping 20. Next time for sure!!

Pull-ups went pretty well until last few rounds. Have experimented with a mini kip on the gravitron and it seemed to work ok. Push-ups slowed right up around round 10 - these are my weakness at the moment. Sprinted through squats.

Gonna try and get a couple of 500m rows after my next class.

Cheers, kempie

Cindy:

10 rounds plus 5 pullups and 5 pushups.

Pullups were alternating rounds of pullups and chins.

Last 2 pushup rounds required a couple of breaths at top of push, otherwise everything unbroken. Not much warmup time to allow me to get to work on time, so have to admit first couple of squat rounds were not not all the way down. It was tough to get going first thing in a.m. after Linda worked me yesterday!

Results were a little better for time than first time I did this and pullups were much better. Not too long ago doing 3 pullups would have exhausted me. Thanks CF!

When we did Cindy last time she left me unable to move for 3 days. Taught me about WU and WD. It was my first crossfit excersize. Did 14 rounds then
Today we did Cindy again. I did my pull-ups assisted. Frank the grandpa manimal and Jad did them unassisted.
I (Frosty) did 21 rounds
Frankie did 17 rounds
Jad did 19 rounds

Well yesterday wasn't my first WOD, but today it feels like it. It was my first post.

Cindy...15 rounds.

Considering I can hardly move today because of Linda, I could only do the girly push ups after the first round and pull ups with the assistance of rubber bands. We'll see what tomorrow holds.

DOMS.

Now, after another Cindy, ny tennis ball and I will be verrry intimate.

Mary

Cindy: 9 times.

The pull-ups were kipping/jumping negatives.

this will be my first day doing crossfit. for the squats, are those "air squats" as listed on the exercises page, or "squat jerks," or something else? I'm confused about this but excited to start. Appreciate the help.

Could it from Krista J. kicking my butt, I mean motivating me, 3 days a week :)

what weight do you use for the squats on the "Cindy"

Cella (#57) and Brian (#70) Unless otherwise specified, squats are air squats. If a load bearing squat is required you will see front squat, back squat or overhead squat.

I have no idea how I managed to do this after doing Linda yesterday. But this is by far the fastest I have ever been able to complete Mary, and the HSPUs felt better than they ever have before. Very, very strange.

What are the odds that tomorrow is the CF500 or Fight Gone Bad? I guess FGB is the 30th, so the Crossfit 500 (aka Filthy Fifty) is my bet :-)

Nonetheless pleasantly surprised. Oh, and I left the best sweat angel I have ever generated in my life on the rubber mats after collapsing off the rings at 20:00.

As rx'd 13 rds +2 pullups BW = 180

First time Mary; 11 rounds, but only 10 pull ups because of the bad bar on Smith machine.

Working with my hands tomorrow and any upper body work shows up under the microscope. Will save Cindy, or do my first Mary, with Randy at Crossfit Denver Friday afternoon.

Total time 30:00, total dist. 2.65 miles

Doing these for two reasons. 1) Need to get much better 800M times on WOD's 2) Will be "training" HS lacrosse team pre-season, and interval training as preparation for CF is part of the plan.

DJ, if you are going to be stealing my pickup lines then the least you can do is give credit....shesshh.

Oh yeah..WOD, Cindy..pushups little tired after Linda...I hope tommorows WOD is calf raises cause that is the only muscle that still works right now..

20min, 17 rounds and 5 pullups (After set 8 went to jumping..and the bar is still waayyy over my head). Old PR 14 and was jumping around rnd 7-8.

People doing 20+ rounds with weight belts...my goodness...I salute you with my trembling arm.

and if someone knows how to "kip" during a pushup...please let me know...I need every advantage I can get..

just finished Cindy 15 reps with 2 sets of PU's in the "sloppy 3" range and 1 set an abissmal 1. Back arms legs chest all sore so hopefully tommorrow is working on ears, only part available. jed

before i started i said to myself "man if can make it through those first five cause they really suck and i just need to get a rhythm," but then i thought if i get a rhythm i can push through 5-12 cause well they suck too but i will be alright and in good position to finish. Then i said ,"but of course that leaves 13 til i am done and yeah they suck too."

I am not what I ought to be;

But by the Grace of God, I am not what I used to be.

A better substitute for the last line has been running through my head all day-

"But by the grace of CrossFit, I am not what I used to be!"

I read the Wiki entry last night and think that it is more damaging than good to leave it. Let CrossFit stand on it's own and let the "believers" come! :P

first time doing this one.... Cindy with mod's (assisted chin with 105 lbs, kneeling push up's)

10 complete rounds plus 5 chins and 1 push up

17 rounds.
By the way, even as a Crossfit convert, I think that the entry on Wikipedia stinks, as it stands.
There used to be a fairly standard explanation of what Crossfit was all about on the wiki but it has been altered a lot over the past few months and not for the better.
It is supposed to be an encyclopedia after all and currently reads a brochure.

11 rounds - off from my normal pace of 14 or 15, and pretty dizzy at the end. Good fun!

I have saved the wiki html. I say we let the current version die, then we can work on it here or on the message board before rolling it back out if we want.

CrossFit may not be ready for prime time. We are slaughtering a lot of sacred cows, and people might not be ready to hear that the "workouts" they have been doing and teaching for years are um, less than ideal.

As for us we know CrossFit is The Way The Truth and The Light... *drinks kool-Aide*

Mary:
5 pullups short of 8 rounds.
1 hand on a ring for pistols.

age 36, BY 167 lbs.

WU: run ~1.5 miles (moderate)

Cindy: 11 rounds + 5 pullups (+ 2 pullups that I inadvertently did, having skipped one round's squats and then realizing it...)

Off from last time (14 rds +), but I've been more or less off CF for 6+ weeks due to lots of travel, work, and unusual fatigue, so I'm happy to have gone over 10 rounds.

good to be back.

Cindy

21 rounds and 7 pullups

14 rounds + 3 pull up's new pr. short term goal 15(next time) long term goal 20.
Question: by resting 10-30 seconds between rounds and occasionaly 5 before push-up's I was able to get two more rounds in. Should I try to find a pace for max numbers or go balls to the wall till I crash like before?

bwt-210
CINDY: 23 rounds.

13 rounds + 1 pullup

Felt a little drained today. Wish I could do the WOD's in the AM like last year...new job requires me to be there at 6:50AM, so I can't workout until the afternoon. It's affecting me.

Day 3 of 1 hour workouts--do the WOD then work on problem areas. Today did jerk practice w/ PVC pipe. Shoulders are incredibly inflexible.

Nifty little blog about CF I found in the Wiki comments section.

Same number of Rd's as last time but significant improvement in form. Last time I needed assisted pull-ups at round 6 & squat sets were broken up at round 8 and up. This time, no assist on anything, dead-hang & all squats full ROM & steady pace. I'll have to pick-up the pace, but I was spent at the end of 20:00.

Many impressive posts. Great work.

Cindy. Subbed body rows for pullups. 14 rounds and 5 rows. Last time I did 13 rounds and two pullups with all pull-ups assisted at 40#. I'm not sure how to compare b-rows with the Grav but I'm pretty sure they're harder.

The guys at the gym got a kick out of my kitchen timer.

Wow i am terribly out of shape when i read the rest of everyone's rnd numbers. This was my first ever crossfit WOD.
