Shoulder stretch
CrossFit Oakland! - "Not Have to be Fun.."
Posted by lauren at October 14, 2006 7:05 PM
light workout for crossfit standards
That stretch looks like a real drag.
ra,
The brevity and low volume should suggest an expectation of epic efforts.
I assume these are with weights, not 'air'?
i did 500 squats yesterday and 150 broad jumps today. i'm gonna skip this workout and do something else, like watch football.
#5 eric: this is with "air" and if you give it an honest effort (a2a) it will be plenty painful!
Thanks ;)
Yeah, I know air squats can be plenty painful. I usually do them for a warmup and active recovery after a long ride/run.
I remember thinking the same as Eric and Ra once... only once. The last time we had a Tabata Squat WOD I "sold out" on them, gave it my ALL every round & didn't pace myself. I almost fell over at the end. I can still remember how it felt trying to walk down the stairs to leave the gym.
Moral of the story. If you've been CFing for any period of time, you should know better then to judge a workout/stemuli by it's cover.
Mike M and the Oakland crew, Nice video.
Amen DJ. I think you can gauge the ones tenure in CrossFit by their comments regarding all the WODs that look "easy."
Tabata translates as "kick in the crotch" in Japanese at least as far as I can tell
I have to concur with DJ... if I ever find myself saying "this looks easy", personal experience has taught me that the workout is probably going to be a lot more challenging than it appears. Now, when I see an "easy" workout, my first thought is something along the lines of "oh crap, this is going to hurt!!"
ha, did this one a few days ago.
score was 17. ROM was butt to heels, making sure that i got full hip extension at the top.
it was awesome.
I did half of this the other day, score was 16. I want 18 this time!!
"The brevity and low volume should suggest an expectation of epic efforts"
Love it Coach
Tabata score 22 butt to heels, thats gonna hurt tommorow !!
Have to make a comment about the J.T. workout as we are a day behind over in Iraq. That work out actually had me laughing at myself out loud for how pitiful my dips and pushups were after the semi-assisted HSPUs. I had no idea that CrossFit was so good for comic relief! The pull up work out is calling to me next and I have Sunday to do the Squats. Yahoo!
low score of 16 in dress pants and button down shirt since I'm at work. Luckily not many customers at 3:30a
Back after a looong lay off...slowly working back into it.
15 on Tabata squats
Thanks for this site Coach; it's great and continuously gets better
haha That picture looks like how I feel after half of the WOD's

Thanks for the flashback. I'm still high from last weekend's seminar. Unbelievable! I think I'll make these b2b.
Great video from Crossfit Oakland. Anyone know what the music is that's playing in the background.
Lowest score of 11. That was on the last one. Legs were burning.
I'm pretty sure I've done this before or am I getting it confused with Tabata something else? Can't seem to find the workout though.
I guess you can make this even more painful by resting in the "comprised" position, that is bent-knees and thighs parallel to the floor, during the 10 second breaks...that will make it a lo...ong 4 minutes.
That should be "compromised" position...
Cool video from the Crossfit Oakland folks. I especially love the box jump to bar muscle-ups.
Great site as well. The Coach Glassman quotes are a hoot!
Yeah, those are referred to as bottom-to-bottom tabata squats. I got to watch a group of trainers get tortured with them in Boston last weekend...quite fun if I might say so myself :p
15.
ironically, that was my score on the 1st and 6th sets. Took a few sets to realize how fast I could drop.
Thanks to the guy who made the tabata interval rap chime from last time. It made today's jelly legs possible.

Lowest effort was a painful 11 on the last set. glad i don't have to walk up or down stairs after that.

We got jelly roll legs.
20 reps all the way thru. Not sure I can move much faster than that, but I did not go butt to legs - went just below parallel. Will try BTL next time.
Over the last 6 months, I've learned that the "easy" workouts are the ones I fear most.
...and to you crazy ones doing this w/ weight vests...hats off to you.
Hey-
Ran 5.3 mile "Race for a Cure" at sunrise in 44:20.
And, donated an extra $20 in honor of CrossFit.
Met Dick Beardsly at the Race. He's famous for the '82 Marathon (2:14) where he lost by 2sec to Alberto Salazar. Cool, eh? That year, I ran the Chicago Marathon in 3:30.
Nice guy, but I'm sure I did more C/J and FS in the weight room than he did last night.
Good luck in your training,

Wow that was insane. I actually couldn't control my legs afterward... they just kept folding! Freaking awesome. I did:

Could only do 6 rounds before running out of steam. New to Crossfit is my excuse :-)
Highest rep count 20...maintained for the first 6 sets...ended up with a 156 total
24, using the Dynamax ball. Hit 25 on 3 rounds!
I didn't read this one right. I did 28 intervals thinking I was supposed to do 32 but finally called it quits after 28. Low score for 28 was a 12 on the 18th interval, but then I rebounded back to 16's.
My lowest for the first 14 intervals was 20, although I was gaming it so I could make it through 32 intervals.
20 was lowest, hit 22 on two rounds.
Why did I have to post after Kelly??????
quote for the pic should be:
"Nooooo...I dont wannnaaaa.....you cant make me go do squata....I'm keeing my stick and there is nothing you can do about it.....go ahead...I'm not moving my legs....you can drag me all day...."

I started out too hard.
Nowhere near my best.
Did bottom to bottoms afterwards and scored 6. Again nowhere near my best.
rounds: 17 17 16 17 16 17 18 18
So, my score is 16. :) My form wasn't the best on the last few sets, I admit.

Hit 21 just barely as the ::20 bell rang on the last two rds. Not feeling it so much in my Glutes and Hammies as I am in my Quads unfortunetly. May have sacrificed for #'s like a J-Hole. All squats were below parallel to complete extension though. Must go and ingage in my the ancient art of recovering that is Hooters beer and wings.
Ahmik- I will reply to your e-mail soon. I haven't forgot, just got wrapped around the axle on things over here. Talk to you soon.
Get some, Go again!
Haven't posted for a while, but I couldn't resist this one. This one calls to mind that quote about "nasty, brutish and short."

CFWU ( 1 x 20 )
8 round Tabata on bottom-to-bottom squats, score=14. That one really numbs the quads but good, which kind of makes it easier, assuming you don't mind a little pain, because the leg muscles are now no longer capable of demanding the limits of the cardio/respiratory system.
squats 5x18,2x17,1x16 = 16
situps = 7 (strict w/ rolled up mat for lumbar)

19 (but never more than 20!). A short WOD like this gives me time to do some skill practice so I worked on handstands (got to 15 sec), OHS with a 45#bar, front squats w/the bar, etc. L hold 30 sec and a farmers walk w/75# for 45 sec. Enjoy the rest tomorrow all and as always, thanks Coach!
9 as minimum, with 65-lb bar (done in order to avoid having to compare with past performances) . . . I'm in denial.

19 for all rounds. well below parallel but not A2A. felt fine afterwards, didn't breathe that hard during, but five hours later my quads are already on fire. i hope i can go to work Monday!
I must have done them wrong...i held my hands in front of my face with my elbows hanging almost straight down. I touched my elbows to knees every time (pretty much :)
28,25,23,22,24,25,24,25
I don't consider myself in great shape yet (just started CF) so for me to be higher than most of the people here i must have done something wrong, hah. I still feel sick to my stomach and can't walk though.

Thanks, good to be back, this will help me get through the year ahead.

Set a PR at 19, though I could have easily hit 20 or 21 if I had worked on pacing myself a bit. First couple of rounds were 24 and 23...next time around I'm going to stick around 21 and see if I can sustain that pace to the end.

Thanks for asking, all of mine are well.

16 PR!! Best previous to this was 12 or 13.
17 was the lowest set for me, a 50 yr old CrossFit newbie.
My 17 yr old baseball playing son, also a CrossFit newbie, had a low set of 20.
This was great on a day when my schedule didn't allow more.

Butt to ankles every time. Sprinted on this one right out of the gate. Also did it immediately following yesterday's pullup WoD. I think I should be able to do 19 on this one easy. If only I could figure out how to go down faster. . . .

I skipped the last two days of Crossfit workouts, so I did this one today. Pretty consistent - 14/14/14/15/14/14/14/15. Next time I'll push for a little more speed to get my reps up. Now I'm off to the gym to try Friday's pullup workout.

Started with 2 mile run, 5 mins of elliptical, then tabata squats, then leg curls and finished with abs.
I didn't have anything to write on, so I don't remember reps for the squats. Averaged about 15-16 reps per set. Long way to go.

completed, forgot to count, legs got nicely smoked though
either 16 or 17.
It was hard to tell with "crossed eyes".
Then did 5 sets of 10 reps on leg press machine with 180#.
Walking up the gym stairs to locker room afterwards was an adventure.
score: 20
hit 21 on the first 4 rounds; afterward my quads were on fire. Is that a sign that I wasn't using my glutes and hams enough?

did pullup a minute 1st 7.8

Coach's words (#4) inspired me -- I went for the "heroic sellout." Astonished myself with 16 on each of the first 3 intervals--pushing so hard my heels left the ground at the top of the reps.
