Okay, I guess it's time to give up the rower and actually run the 400.

I cant wait to hit this... What times should we be looking for on the 400s. I have always been around 80 to 90 seconds.

Hey, Two questions. I am signed up for the olympic lifting cert. seminar in January. I have never done olympic lifts before and I'm doing this in my own garage--point being no one is around to tell me my form sucks. Would anyone recommend substituting these lifts until I can learn them properly? If not, I don't mind trying them with just the bar or broomstick for now, but what should I add to get the benefit of the workout?

Thanks in advance!

Scoot, you could try the digital coaching section of the message board...

wow.

felt good doing the snatch. hoping to get some coaching in when i get stateside. happy CrossFitting!

Crossfit Community:

Sorry for the intrusion but can someone give an explanation of a power snatch. We can't view the
the excersise video or slide shows due to internet blocking. Thanks in advance as we have a couple of new converts here that are trying to work through the WODs.

Thanks in advance! We wouldn't want to miss out on the pain!

#9 billcattley,
I'll give it a shot.

Start with the bar on the ground, as you would a normal snatch(wide/snatch grip). Lift the bar off the ground, exploding the weight to overhead in one movement. Keep the bar close to the body. For the "Power Snatch," drop under the weight as little as possible for the catch. Ideally momentum from the pull should carry the bar to lockout overhead with little re-bend of the hips. Finsh standing at full overhead lockout. Put bar down. Repeat.

Andy,

Much thanks for the help. We'll give it some practice today so we can be ready for tomorrow.

Good workout!!

After the first round, dropped weight from 95 to 65 lbs. Form went out the window at the end of the first round. Much improved after dropping the weight. Runs on the treadmill. After it was all over, I realized I could've gone harder on the runs. Going to have to work on my technique w/ this lift for next time.

Matt G,
Long time no see. Good to see the bar set high. See if any of the new generation can give you a run for that sub-15. I cannot, as I am still large and fairly slow.

Great shot, but where did Will's ice tools go?

Matt G-
So glad to see you are back to inspire and motivate!

Hi Matt G!

Newbie here that started with “Helen” last week.

It is comforting to know that I am not the only one concerned with performing this lift for the first time.

Thanks for all the advice, the video is good, but it is also good to see it literally.

Best to you all,

Chris: 17 minutes,65#

Julie: 23 minutes, 15#. I think it's important to note that Julie couldn't complete a 400m 4 months ago. Today she ran each 400 meters without stopping.

We went to our local HS football field with the kids. People drove past the field giving us the strangest looks. I understand it is unusual to see a family of 6 lifting weights at the track on a cold Sunday morning. But we received further strange looks when we played hackey-sack, rolled down the hill and made duck sounds with grass between our thumbs. Why is it unusual to play outside?

Great to see you post again, Matt G. Hope we can meet up again soon.

Found that near the end of the lift my elbows were not locked out (160 degrees instead of 180) and had to push from shoulders to get full extension at the end of each rep. Any hints or tips to correct this or just need more explosive power to start of with ?

I could use some advice...

I did these with 95# but in sets of 3 for 5 times between each 400m. Mostly because I have a quirky shoulder and don't like to get sloppy with overhead lifts...so that took a toll on my time.

My question is: Would it have been better to drop 10-30lbs. and have done 15 straight which would challenge me more "cardio" wise or stay at 95# which challenged my power and technique more?

Thanks,
Joey

been gone for a couple weeks and its good to be back.

I ran the San Diego Race for the Cure today after doing nothing but the WOD for over a year.

I ran 17:15 for a very hilly 5k and got 4th overall. The best finish I have ever had in a Race for the Cure was around 9 years ago when I ran maybe 20 seconds faster on a flat course in San Francisco and got 3rd. I was running 60 miles per week at the time.

The 3 people who beat me probably run exclusively and would be crushed by a CrossFit workout. You have got to love the "we do your stuff as well as you do" without training for it part of CrossFit.

I can only speak for myself, but I tend to scale to keep intensity (i.e., power) high. That said, sometimes I go heavier and take longer if my form and strength are adequate to the task. My goal is to eventually do each WOD as rx'd with commensurate intensity. Also, intensity is not necessarily superior when all sets are unbroken with lighter weight compared to heavier weights with broken sets. Others might have some other ideas, but this works for me.

BWT: 175

Time: 28 min.

First time doing any kind of snatches. Found them a lot of fun. I think I warmed up for these in a good way: first with broomstick, then established appropriate weight by doing hang power snatches with bar (5x), then a couple of reps at 10 pound increments until I found 75 felt good. Next confirmed 75 with one rep and I was good to go.

Btw, I am 6'3", no training plates, so I put the barbell on 2 step platforms (4" or so) to get to a reasonle height for taking bar off ground. A 10 pound plate just doesn't get the bar very far off the ground. Would the group agree this is good idea, or it's "scaling" and I should be trying to go lower?

Plenty of times I have thought about scaling down the load to keep the intensity up. My own coach and mentor OPT has recommended against it unless of course I can't even complete one rep with the prescribed load. Believe me the workouts take me longer but the intensity is definitely still there. I take more pride in typing as rx'd than comparing my time to others. My times will go down.
that's my .02 anyway.

Well, I've never done (tried) a snatch before today...it wasn't pretty. Didn't even try to do this WOD for time. Ran 4.5 miles at a good pace before I hit the gym--great weather here in San Antonio so I could, finally, run outside--Spent a hour trying to learn to snatch uncoached and, unfortunately, all to easy for others to see. Only stumbled back one time. Scared a kid so badly he ran away. Nevertheless, I'm hopeful. When I first started doing cleans and jerks it was a similar story.

Scaled to 55 lbs, in spite of the excellent advice from OPT and Trevor S, sometimes it has to be done for injuries.

Cold weather makes for slow running.

WOD as rx'd
25:39
I'd blame the transitions but I needed the rest.

For those who are over 175lbs and want to even up the workouts so you can compete with the small people that lower the weight I've included the equation below:

(distance you need to run) = (175lbs * (WOD distance))/ (your body weight)

This assumes nearly equal accelerations. You can also use this for reps of body weight exercises. Just sub the (WOD distance) for the distance of travel i.e. about 2ft in a push or dip or 1m in a muscle-up. Then the (distance you need to run) would actually be a percentage which you multiply by the reps prescribed in the WOD resulting in the reps you actually need to do. For those that want to prove this to themselve just remember: Work = Force * distance. Force = mass * acceleration. Ignore the calculus.

Also... note to self.

Only used 75 lbs on the power snatches. Good to get back into the WOD's after missing the last three weeks.

Concerning scale,
I have always operated under the notion that I should complete the workout at a weight that will put me in at a similar time to the elites posting. This is not possible in some cases. There is no way I could do even just the handstand push-ups for Diane in the same time AFT can complete the whole thing.

I did 65# on this workout because it put me in at a similar time to Matt G's. I've been around long enough that I can judge my ability fairly well. If I had been faster than his time I would have noted that and next time I would do this with a higher weight (in fact I will anyway).

Shorten the run length based on percentage of body weight? Don't be silly.

If someone could give me an idea what the theory is behind intensity or weight that would be awesome. I'm more on the line of intensity and usually adjust the weight (like on the snathces) since I'm smaller. Should I be doing higher weights and making the workouts take longer? Any advice would be appreciated.

My workout partner was busy so I was forced to do this at the gym with regular weights. The difference between doing snatches with an Elekio bar and the ones at the gym is quite obvious when you look at the 7 open oozing wounds on my hands.

Great workout mixed in with a little blood and a lot of sweat.

Reduced weight to 30kg to get proper form. We love crossfit here at Nowra, NSW, Australia so much. We are getting quite a following. keep up the great work guys.
