I've been waiting for these! Finally... a break from the cardio, my legs are still wasted though. Giddy up!!

Nice, working one of my weak areas as far as form goes, -any- cleans!

this one will be light and technical for me tomorrow. My power clean is okay but not the squat clean.

I played a soccer game against guys from 1 SFG at that stadium in the photo two years ago! Small world.

What field is that then?

so if i join the swim team should i do all of the crossfit workouts or just part of it?

#7 You should perform all of the crossfit workouts completely. Water based exercises and conditioning does not transfer onto land-based very well. If you perform them both you will have the best of both worlds and beyond!

#7 The idea that one particular sport requires specialized training SOLELY is ludicrous. I trained a college hopeful swimmer, walk on, that prepared by snatching and dong the Crossfit girls and made the team in the Big Ten (IOWA) of all places. CrossFit transfers nicely into all sports. he can't wait for next summer.

Super-sore legs today from 300 squats done 2 days ago - rolled out of bed this morning. I enjoyed a session in the park today...set up my 3yo little girl, Scarlet with her painting set, and launched into an hour of KB drills. Started (after warmup) with 140 1.5 pood snatches, then worked through various grinds & presses.

Finished off with 60 parallette (spelling) push-ups, feet elevated to roughly 1m, full ROM, head to grass. Hard work after all those KB drills.

Then went to pool for some R&R in the sun.

This was fun, had everyone in the gym looking at me like "WTF?" Gave me chance to see where I'm at with my Cleans.

Hey kylie #7 - depends what you want to achieve in the end. It also depends upon the design of the swim program, and how the coach's head works (or doesnt' work).

If you are seeking specialized endurance alone for instance, as in 400m + events, you might find alot of the strength based stuff in CF will work against you. If you are a sprinter, and your coach has an old school view that long distances swum in training translate to short events, again you may find trouble if you are doing CF.

Such a subjective question you are asking.....because of the varied nature of the sport. I say, consult your coach.

I trained up for a 3.2km ocean swim 2 years ago, and nothing was better than simple stretching (particularly in shoulder region), and kms racked up in the pool with a good long distance technique coach. It was specific training for a specific goal, and nothing else would have worked that well. Bloody booring training tho. But last year I played baseball for the first time in 15 years, and let me tell you it was CF that had me playing like i was 18...nothing else. I think it made a few of my team-mates feel very old.

GO CF

stayed light and worked on technique, I can power clean a decent weight but have a hard time squat cleaning just the bar. definitly need some work here and will probably look for somewhere to get some coaching when I get back to the states.

2x100-3x100-4x100-5x100-5x110 kg
snatch practise
Have fun, Johan

not heavy at all really, worked on technique, flexibility/agility an issue i think in the transition between driving up and the catch...sat on 115lb...but ok form....handstands have finally clicked though, 100ft walk not far away...

How are you supposed to do these? Are they only singles, with as much weight as possible, or is this for traning technique? I'm new to crossfit....:-)

QUESTION: I am new to this program. Do most of you do a weight work-out in addition to the cross-fit workout?

thanx!! the reason im joining a community swim team is that i swam my freshman year and moved shortly after. im a sophomore now. i tried to join the school swim team but theyd already started and were competing already. so i really need to build up my endurance and improve my times so i can join next year. i have asthma and its really hard to push myself, because if i push myself too hard, i have an asthma attack. but ive heard of an olympic swimmer who overcame her asthma by swimming.

Kylie-

Good luck! Overcoming an obstacle such as yours makes success that much sweeter. Eat right, train hard, get lots of sleep, GO LIKE HELL!!

Cool! Squat Cleans! I really need work on these.

L- WU 100 jump ropes
worked on form with 45lb bar, is finally starting to be able to get under the bar in the squat position.

N- WU- 50 Jump ropes, 50 sit ups
worked on form with 45 lb bar also, starting to get under the bar in the squat position but is still rising with her hips to fast

K- WU- 15 minutes elliptical
45x2, 55x2, 65x4, 55x2, 45x1

Was able to get under the bar and felt like form was good for 45 lb and 55 lb but for 65 lb hips rose too fast for 3 of the lifts, so I dropped to 55 lb to get the feel for the movement again. Back has been sore the past 3 days, felt better today.

Kate

worked cleans up to 185#

thanx for all your help!!

#16 - RL - only work on weight if you have the technique locked in. if your tech. is good, do single sets for weight, take a couple min break between sets and work for a PR. Happy CrossFitting!

My body is sore and tired. Tuff week end. This will finish me off. I can barely walk as it is.

Not the best cleans in the world but the technique is starting to feel more natural and I am getting more depth in the squat as I drop under the bar. Still a long way to go but 155 is a 20#PR. Could have gone higher but was using steel weights and was afraid of dropping them and getting kicked out of the Y.

grant #17

i do the CFWU 'EVERY' time before the WOD, complete the WOD, and then spend 5-10 minutes working on weaknesses, ie clean technique, overhead squat, handwalking etc...i find that this is ample and have made solid gains...have a good read of the site and journals....i find that additional weight training is really a waste of time (my opinion!)...

#18 - Kylie, I, too have asthma. You may already know of this trick, and of course check with your doctor, but using the inhaler before I workout helps keep the attacks to a VERY low minimum. Of course, I'm much older than you and am not training except to compete with myself, look into this if you can. Just a thought that hopefully helps. Good luck to you!

worked up to 135 on my 4th rep, then had to quit. after doing fran, i've had a dull ache in both of my shoulders, and doing cleans has exacerbated the problem considerably. any one else every experience any shoulder pain after doing thrusters?? any suggestions, i.e. a different grip, or something i'm doing wrong with technique? i try to follow the examples set in the videos, but maybe i'm missing something?

#41 - JR, i have impingement issues in both shoulders and find db's with a neutral grip (palms facing each other) much more comfortable for any type of overhead press...or if i am to use a bar, i will use a closer grip with my elbows tucked in and a bit out in front of my body (front squat grip)...this scapular plane movement is much easier on the shoulder than keeping the elbows out to the side in the frontal plane...aside from that, ensuring you have ample flexibility through the lat and pec and minimal "slouched posture" will also help...hope that helps some

Finished with Cindy (16 rds)

I have asthma too and still was okay as a college sprinter and now police fitness trainer. I have found that working hard actually keeps my asthma at bay... when I get lazy, it seems to get worse!

The tip about using the inhaler beforehand is ditto for me. I do it religiously.

Sam Nix-

That field is at beautiful Ft. Lewis, WA. That field turf is pretty new, and actually the site of where I did my first WOD. I wish I could be back in that beautiful state, too bad that picture didn't have Mt.Rainier in the background. (It would about 90 deg. to the left of where the picture shows)

Peaked at 185. I was just happy to get bodyweight but Julie said my form looked good so I went on up.

bwt 165

1x65,95,105,115,125,130,135,140,145,150. I need to work on catching the bar lower; these became powercleans with a front squat. Nevertheless, the last time I did ME cleans, 95# was a grunt so on balance a good day. Missed backward Fran yesterday as I did the circuit at Jersey Shore CF: 30/30 on/off of the following: KB cleans, ring pushups,slamball,squat thrusters, rowing, burpees,KB swings, rope getup, and back extensions. 4 rounds. Fun...when it was over. BW:177, Y/A:58. Thanks, Coach!

Before crossfit I had been lifting weights for the past 15 years. Once I started crossfit, I completely dropped weightlifting for the first few months just to see what crossfit would do for me. I have noticed that my chest and arms have gotten smaller, however overall my strength, as well as flexibility, endurance and speed have greatly increased. Long story short, the only weightlifting I do in addition to crossfit is bench (because crossfit doesn't target chest heavily enough in my opinion) and biceps (because I am vain). Everything else it covers nicely and I couldn't be happier with my progress. Good luck.

used db's

Man I love Cleans!
I'm still a little new to these though (started maybe two months ago), so my form is probably a little funny. I find that with increasing weight, I start catching the bar lower and lower, hitting a squat where my butt is maybe two inches from the floor and then slowly front squatting up from there. Almost like two seperate movements for each clean. Since I'm really comfortable with deep squats, this doesn't feel like a big deal yet, but I wonder if I could be doing more weight with a different approach. I know I could not currently power clean the weights I was doing today. Even when I am doing "power" cleans, I find that if I don't conciously make myself not drop below parallel, I'll end up falling into the more comfortable really deep squat each rep.

WOD as rxd went lighter due to lower back strain 10x65 cleans. Did yesterdays Killer!!! workout subbed jumping pull ups with 35lb thusters time 26:00.That workout made me wish I was 20 years younger!Loved it!!!

Pretty stoked w/255, though I had to fight for it. Cought it deep in the hole (A-2-A) and had to really fight to get it up. Felt a lot better w/my form this time rather then the last time we did Cleans. It really does suck to not be able to do them w/bumper plates. Each time it's a workout of the mind to figure out a creative way to get the weight down w/out dropping them and or hurting myself in the process.

Mom- Nice job w/yesterdays WOD. Now go ice your back or your grounded! ;)

75 ties my pr, but I probably shouldn't even have counted it as it wasn't a full squat and I couldn't seem to hit it again. I worked on form and explosiveness for the rest. I just found out that a friend of mine has the tapes, so it's time to find a VCR and watch so I can finally learn some technique.

143 but not the prettiest looking cleans ever. I had a feeling I was catching too low. I had no problem getting into a deep squat and coming up with 143 wasn't hard. The catch was the hardest as I lack the flexibiility to get the elbows high and out front.
practiced 3 sets of 3 false grip pull ups on the rings so I can work me way to a muscle up attempt.

nice job all PR-smashers.

Coach,

I am happy to report your crossfit hypothesis is right on target. Using Crossfit as my only true training program I completed the Marine Corps Marathon today finshing: 3:31:58. I wanted to share what I feel to be excellenct results because I've heard many state they'll "...start Crossfit after the Marathon". Unfortunately there is a large population of non-believers who fail to recognize Crossfit does in fact build endurance in tandem to strength. Crossfit's modality works for all fitness! To be true to the program, I knocked out the WOD afterward.

Thank you for everything Coach

WOD 45, 95, 135, 155, 155,165, 185, 195, 205, 205.

really having a tough time with proper form by trying to power clean heavier weights. i think i need to keep the weight lower until i'm completely comfortable dropping under heavier weight.

I probably could have done more, but as A) it was my first time doing ME cleans B) it was in my garage and C) I was using Wal-Mart 3/4 bar steel weights, I thought it was best to call that good for now. My left shoulder is going to truly be a hinder on me doing these O-Lifts.

Bad bail out at 145 and pull an abdominal muscle--scared the crap out of me, so I went back down to work on form and get confidence back.

Warmed up well and decided to do ten sets of three reps to work on smoothness and form. Started with a 45lb bar and did the last two with 185. I think by working this way I felt more and learned alot about myself. I felt like a lifter today....wonderful.

In reference to Marcus, Crossfit has lifted my threshold of pain. When you can push through the pain of a tough workout, that translates to running, work.....hell anything tough. I'm amazed how much easier hard tasks have become because I just don't feel the pain,or maybe better put, I can stand being uncomfortable without thought. Does this make sense?

Had lots of pain in my elbows (tendonitis) at 155. Had to drop and focus on form. Narrow grip helped a lot so I think I was too wide initially. Will go heavy next time around.

Sore wrist; wherein, I appreciate anew the fact that oly lifts done with less than perfect form punish the weaker points of the movement chain.

Trouble at 225, but I knew I could get it. Consistently, struggled receiving the bar (too far forward). Need to practice releasing the grip/tension at the wrists after the extension and allow the bar to roll back to the fingertips at the racked position, which makes getting under the bar- FS position- easier.
