CrossFit Vancouver - Pull-up Bar [video]
Posted by lauren at November 23, 2006 5:36 PM
Where's the link to the last time we did this one?
Maybe I missed the answer, but what nuts and seeds are the best to eat?
A happy Thanksgiving to all Americans, and a happy first Ashes Test to all Australians!
Im quite new to crossfit and was wondering if someone could post another link to the front squat besides the one in the exercise list.The slide show doesnt work for me and the video is shot from the side,I cant see where the bar is resting and where his hands are placed.
Any help would be great.
Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
I'm taking this week off!
Brett
a little late but...
first question : got grip? Answer - nope
second question : what do i do about my calluses?
Answer - one of them got blood underneath it so i ripped that one... what should i do about the others?
sry about the grossness, before you go to bed...
#9 - when I was rowing, I used to try taping them, but it wouldn't stay in the wet environment. So I'd just trim the dangling bits, polysporin the bloody part, and suck it up. Eventually a nice callus forms.
Should probably wipe down the equipment for others though :)
#10
do you think i should start wearing gloves, or wait for the calluses?
Who knew Lt. Michael Murphy? I went to High School with the lad. Anyway, he and I lost touch after graduation. I knew he was a seal but don't know much else after that. Semper Fi Mac!
We last saw this on 20Oct06
#3 as mentioned the message board is the best place to ask. But I eat Almonds & walnuts . Seeds I eat are Pumkin seeds, Flax seeds & sunflower seeds.
The comment 'Eat nuts and seeds' pretty much sums it up, eat whatver nuts and seeds you want, they are all good.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Francisco (#11),
We have a workout named in honor of Lt. Michael Murphy:
"Murph"
1 mile Run
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
1 mile Run
From the FAQ: "In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.
This workout was one of Mike's favorites and he'd named it 'Body Armor.' From here on it will be referred to as 'Murph' in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is. "
There is a picture of him also on the FAQ page.
I am eternally thankful to Lt. Michael Murphy, all who currently serve, and all who served before.
I can't get the movie to play, it saves as a wmv icon, but has a .mov at the end any ideas? thanks
Post 11 I'm sure Lt. appreciates your enthusiasm, but future reference Semper Fi is for the Marines. It means always faithful. Just a tip from someone who is the seals of the marines. OOhhh Rahhhh!!!!!!!!
HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!! well, to those of you who celebrate anyway. What's Ashes Test for the Australians?
Travis L. The Ashes Cup Australia and England play for in cricket.
#10 Anthony- NO GLOVES OR BELTS!!
Wierd, I walked right in that building to go to work today. Punish the deserving
Peterh,
Thanks, I played cricket in Egypt once with a bunch of British expats. Odd game to get ahold of for an American, but fun. Haven't gotten the chance to play with any Australians yet. Do they use as much beer? :)
Front Squats
135, 145, 145, 155, 155, 135, 135
form was a little off as I got higher. I'm pretty sure the jumping pull-ups and deadlifts are what killed it.
Travis #17- The movie opens up in quicktime. It shows two guys holding an oly bar over their heads (one at each end) and then various people do pull ups on the bar. Everyone is laughing and smiling that is doing it.
Kate
Lee Gilbert,

Ha! got it working, that looks fun. I don't think I'd be able to find anyone to hold the bar for me though. :(

Thanks Coach for all you do for us. We are thankful for you and this community. Happy Thanksgiving all!
Kate
wow those canadians are crazy. haha. I've got to try that pull-up bar.
To comment #8 (Anthony):
I was a gymnast for 17 years and know plenty about calluses. There's a product called "Nu Skin" that will put a quick layer of fake skin over a "rip" so you can keep going. Besides that, use a heel callus file to keep it thin and I've found that "Bag Balm" works better than Vitamin E or Neosporin to help them heal. They should carry Bag Balm at any Walgreens.

Misson abort! Got to #225 on the 5th set and my bad knee started hurting. Frustrating being good for more weight and having to stop, but I have to admit that moderation is getting the knee back in form a lot better/faster than just hammering it. Happy turky day all!

Hey no gym is open today, what is a good alternative to the front squats?

First time doing FS with CF. It's funny how you just don't beg for more weight on the front. Might have been able to do 135 the whole time, but felt like form would break down.
the ending of my four day crossfit week! (subbed rest day with the Sunday workout of "Helen")
i came across Dan John's website, www.danjohn.com,
and an interesting variation of this workout
http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do;jsessionid=15005094356B9C67B7B84019E65E1B1E.ba13?id=483048
long link.. but if you scroll down you will see the particulars
workout: bw 215// 11-13%body fat
125 x5
150 x5
185 x5
225 x5 pretty hard
185 x5 get back the confidence
225 x6 with spotters to be safe
only needed them on the extra one, i don't
think my body knew the difference
p.s. i'm glad i started doing the cfwu, it's really helped my squat form!
adding to #80
did 10 jumps in between the squats as Dan John says so
he said it would not let me walk the next day
one can only dream
We were working on good form today in the driveway:
David: 135# for all sets

2nd WOD. did 3x1000M row @ noon.
Wish i could read, i did 5's vs. 3's. ended each set with 7 DH pull-ups (could not get 10)
95, 115, 135, 155, 175...each "set" was 5 shoulder presses then 5 FS.
Happy Thanksgiving Y'all
Did my own home grown WOD because my gym closed early today, and I missed a few of the last WOD's because I gave blood on Tuesday.
As many rounds as I can in 20 minutes of:
25 air squats
5 towel pull-ups
15 push-ups
5 1/2 rounds completed.
Started doing 10 TP's per round. After the first round I decided to do only 5. They are a pretty hard for me first time doing them. Also I was using a rag - WAAAY to thin for a grip for me and my fingers hurt pretty badly, so after 2 1/2 rounds, I grabbed a full-sized towel, which turned out to be much more plausible.
My left arm felt weak when my left hand was uppermost on the TP's. I don't know if that was from the blood giving Tuesday from that arm, or it's just weak, probably both.
Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving, all.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
only made to set 5 then felt the adductor I strained about 2 weeks ago so packed it in.
Was at 175 at that time but it was the wrists that were giving out. Dropped the load to 155 to work more on the grip and hold and on rep 1 I felt the pull again.
Hi all,
Gym is closed today and not enough weight in my garage yet to really go after this.
Did a 30 minute row this morning and went 5918 meters.
I tried some bar only front squats. I can't get my arms/wrists back far enough to support the bar on my shoulders. I think I've seen a thread somewhere describing how to improve this aspect of the FQ. Anyone know where that is or have any advice?
Thanks and I hope everyone is enjoying a great Thanksgiving. I'd like to echo the many comments before me in thanking Coach and the many others in this community who support each other! It's a wonderful community and I look forward everyday to reading the posts.
By the way, FQ really means FS (front squat.) Sorry.

Only Smith machines, so did 3,3,3,3,3,3,3 cleans.

J: 135,145,150,160,170,180,185(x2,fail on 3rd)
After my fail, I had a YMCA "personal trainer" approach me and ask if i could kindly not drop the weights, as it makes a very loud "boom" downstairs...WTFO?
3x115,145,165,175,185,195,200(pr). Did these 1 day late. Continued progress as my last pr was 190. Mucho gruntin' Thanks, Coach!

Only rested long enough to add weights, really made a difference w/ super short rest period and pretty heavy weight. Did 100 yard lunges right after words. I only made it the full length one time and then walked like gumby.

Been a while since I've done front squat. Took a while to get form back. I know I could do more weight, but form very rusty.

Did this Friday after Thanksgiving, visiting with the in-laws. Local Y had no power rack, so I had to power clean bar each set, so maxed at 115# because I did not want to aggravate muscle in my forearm. I know not much weight, but felt pleased with depth on each round.
95, 105, 115X3.

20lbs heavier than previous try. Now that I knew more where I should be, I was able to start much heavier and I think that made a difference

All cleaned up from the ground, none take off the squat rack.
