Nice box.

I've been waiting a long time to see one again...

Nice H2!

I have been on and off CF for awhile. This will be my first date with Barbara...can't wait!!!

I'm starting Cf tomorrow comming from over a year of intense weightlifting, this is gonna be fun !

all right. way to represent PGH well! I miss it sometimes.

Nice Pitt!!! I like it. Congrats on the new home.

I am looking forward to this workout. My quads need a rest from the last two WODs. Barbara, I just set my stop watch for precisly, exactly, 180 seconds for the rest interval :>) Big Kudos on the link to the Warrior Foundation on Crossfit Pittsburg's website.

Nice job on the Crossfit Pittsburgh, too bad you had to park that Hummer in front of it.

Coach,

I've got my own ideas, but what is your take on the benefits of yesterday's WOD (OHS's) vs. BS's vs. FS's? Also, on the OHS's what is the proper position of the bar relative to the body? Directly overhead? I almost crushed myself under the bar so must be doing something wrong (and it wasnt much weight).

Thanks,

Fletch

fletch u from uic?

Pittsburgh = legit.

Fletch: BSQ, FSQ, OHS....they all have their place and purpose. All should be done by a well rounded athlete. High rep, low rep, 1RM...do it all.

As for the specifics of the OHS, recommend buying back issue #36. Very complete, Read and heed....

Fletch, the OHS is a very technical lift and should literally be learned with something like a broom handle. If you don't have the requisite flexibility in the shoulders then it's basically impossible to do the movement properly. It's an incredible lift for building overall strength in the entire body as opposed to just working the lower so do not take it's value lightly, it's a bear!

I must agree, The OHS done correctly, is really tough on your shoulders,upperback, and involves quite a bit of core musculature, but having enough flexibility in the shoulders to get the bar far enough behind the head is a must.. Just keep doing the wod warm up, emphazising putting the bar behind the head while doing the OHS - warmup...

The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday...

Looking good Pittsburgh

Easing back in after flu. Did:

2 rounds as rx'd
1. 3:05
2. 3:31

+ snatch practice( watch the Kono vid on YT)
BW 66kg

On a side note -
Did 1 round of this one about 6 months ago, before I started following the wod regularly. It was almost a max effort I remember and I got 4:02.

This workout is always a killer. Can't wait for crossfit lunch.

5 rounds of complete suck ..

scaled down other 3 to 10,20,30,40 (first time doing this one)

Just barely made my goal of all rounds under 2:30. Huge improvements over my previous times. Hip flexors dying from the situps and squats.

"Frog kick" style kipping pullups, chest to ground/full elbow extension pushups, anchored situps and full extension squats to Dynamax ball.

Only 3 rounds, pretty much dead, 4th consecutive WOD day and I'm feeling it big time

Say I am doing regular pullups without kipping, I guess sort of like strict pullups. Do I still do 20 or is there a different number that would be advised. Where I go there is not enough room to swing on the bar as advised.

Barbara is the girl next door. Don't notice her much right away, but after spending some time with her she leaves you dizzy and weak in the knees.

Hi all,
Work
{Rope climb 20'; DB press (40#er's)x10; Rope jumpx100}x7.

Duration 21:00...

Still on a modified break from CF to complete the C2 Holiday Challenge.

Yesterday: CFUWU x 3

C2 Row - 60 Minute test: 13,620 Meters. Fair, but not great.

After a week, I'm on pace with 53,700 Meters. Today will mix-in 500M sprints after a 5k pace row.

Nice job Pitt.

The East Coast is coming on. Hopefully Richmond Va. will get our own soon. We are still doing our Crossfit routines at American Family. It's a pain at times because they have 3 squat racks, no rowing, no ropes, few heavy balls, no kettles etc. Doing something like today’s workout will be fairly easy but the majority of people look at you as if you have the plague when the anaerobic sweat comes on.

Yesterday's WOD drew many stares and incredulous looks. I am getting used to it.

Ricky

This one looks like "fun." It's going to have to wait until after work. Way to go meeting your goal Kelly. You truly are an inspiration!

I was still feeling it pretty righteously from the past few days so I did my own WOD.

pass on the final round --- shoulder issues

I just started yesterday for the first time, and my legs are still sore this morning -- glad to read the advice on the OHS -- good stuff there. A little afraid of Barbara -- she sounds like the crazy neighbor you avoid. As a girl, I long avoied the weight room, so this has been quite the challenge, but oh so much fun...and humbling all at the same time. I'm teaching back to back cycle classes tomorrow, so my goal for today is three rounds with Barbara, TKO...

bw: 180 lbs

1st: 10:30
2nd: 12:00

...and seeing the direction this was going time-wise, figured I'd be here for another hour (easy), cut it short and got ready for work.

20 pullups for me was broken into about 9 sets, the last couple of sets just working on the negatives and involving jumping, hopping, a trampoline and a swinging trapeze from the Smith machine.

Did the "puppy" version of this and times were:

Hit the bag for few afterwards.

WU: run to gym (5:31 PR), dynamic stretching

Scaled to 3 rounds only, with many-many broken sets
(pullups sets of 5,4,3 ; pushups sets of 10; situps sets of 20)

9:40, 12:15, 12:10

No disrespect, but Barbara > Murphy

Nice Hummer...thats lame

This looks pretty intense, but will have to wait till after work. I'm still new to Crossfit, but this reminds me a bit of Stew Smith's Navy SEAL workouts. Did those as a break from weightlifting and went running back to the weights before long after getting thrashed. This ought to be a humbling experience...

Is it possible to have your hands too far apart in the snatch and the overhead squat? Mine feel best when all the way out as far as they can go.

17.42 for 4 rounds as rx
passed on the last round... little hungover, not good...

3:47,4:55,5:03,5:16,5:32
not my best...

Ring Pull-Ups, Parallette push-ups with elevated feet, situps with feet under dumbbells, squats...after 4 hours of sleep...worst round about 10:50...ouch

...just looked back two workouts and found my previous effort...in the 4's...I'll blame it on the sleep!

hockey tonite will makeup last 2 rds tomorrow or sat.

Last time did jumping plu, this time used the gravitron. It added about a minute/round. Think will go back to jumping next go round.

Psups off bench.

Plu & Psups very broken, situps & squats unbroken

10:34

11:04

Since I'm fairly new I broke down most of the exercises into sets of 10 reps with about 10 secs recovery at most. Then back at it.
I've been doing most of the WODs but not posting them up here, I'm still feeling it out.
I've heard of people getting sick (vomitting) when they train intensely, can someone tell me why? I felt myself getting very very queazy and had to stop before I literally spilled my guts in front of everyone in the gym.

oh yeah, and I did my pullups on the gravitron with 80 lbs assist (I weigh about 137 lbs). It's not cheating! I'm just working my way up to the intense stuff.

#68 Guy

Although only two of my rounds were sub-3:00, you can trust that the ROM for each exercise was complete. No use doing anything half-assed if you're going to do it. Just for reference, I utilized kipping pullups on a 3" diameter bar, chest to floor/elbows locked out pushups, situps to past vertical, and ass-to-ankles squats.

Holy lightheaded Batman! That Barbara is an evil b#tch.

Must of been sandbagging on the 4th round! All pullups kipping (if Coach wanted deadhang, he woulda said "deadhang"). All push-ups chest to ground, and squats a-to-a.

You know those days where you feel incredibly powerful and no matter how brutal the WOD, you can just bust right through it?

Yeah, well today was not one of those days...

squats were killer, loving the practice tho

I'd like to thank the Coach for mangling my hands up, I have a whole new set up blisters up a little higher on my fingers!!

I will preface this with the fact this is my first attempt at Barbara, and I am still fairly new to the WOD in general. Also, not too sharp on pull-ups so did 90lb. lat pull downs instead.

Made it 3 rounds.

Round 1 - 7:00
Completed all exercises - this hurts.

Round 2 - 8:44
Dropped to knees during push-ups after only 10.
Finished PU on knees.

Round 3 - 10:55
Spent most of the push-ups on my knees.
After 30 sit-ups, focused on one at a time.
Squats in groups of ten.

This WOD rocked me, it took a good half-hour to return to a state of semi-normalcy. Laid on the floor for a good solid 5 minutes.

Agree with comment #10. Nice job starting a Crossfit facility but the hummer doesn't belong. It screams commercial, commerical, commercial! Just opposite of what Crossfit is all about - grassroots, alternative to Big Box corporate gym, small yet big, effective, high performance, efficient...the list goes on and on.

If I was Coach, I'd be a bit annoyed. What's next? major advertisers and sponsor banners on the walls...

This was a smoker. Lots of fun, though.

total time with 3min rest - 36:42

Comment 68#

Rounds under 3 min is not impossible at all: I'm an upper intermediate CF'r and I got the first round in 3:58 with a 10 second break between 1st and 2nd half of all exercises. There are some real animals out there who can blaze this full force and keep it up.

That being said I do wonder at some of the times here sometimes: Barbara should be done with full-range pull-ups, that is full extension at the bottom and chin over bar on each rep. Push-ups should be chest to ground and full lock out at the top (hardest thing for me) Sit-ups should be either Army or Air Force style with full up and down on every rep. Squats should be to a Dynamax med ball or equivalent with full hip extension at the top.

I could get under 3 if I did body spasm style.

i didnt think it was 2 bad for my first day back in a year but it still sucked a big one

Pushed myself to the absolute limit. Pull-ups were all assisted. Push-ups were all straight body chest to floor until middle of fourth round had to go to my knees, and fifth round was also on knees. Aargh! Other than that only took rx'd rest time. Never stopped during sets!

Compared to 060619: 9:34 – 11:01 – 12:17 – 12:59 – 12:49

I think the increase in times might be from going full depth squats instead of to a box this time…

All pullups kipping, pushups chest to floor w/full elbow extension at top, situps were ABMAT--feet touching wall unanchored, squats to dynamax ball full extension at top.
Nicole had much better ROM w/ ABMAT situps than me.

Hope you feel better OPT, good on you for those times.

3:40 3:50 4:31 5:19 6:08. First 2 rounds all unbroken. Hit the wall hard during the situps on round 4, smoked me. Better than last time, when I tried to do this out in the AZ June heat and could only make 3 rounds. Almost met pukie for about half hour after finishing. Yeehaw.

5:35,6:58,7:58,7:21,11:13 (there were points on this round where I honestly thought I was dying)

Barbara is an evil, evil woman.
Met pukie after round 2, met pukie's friend excusie halfway through round 3:
"the reason I can finish these pull-ups is because I did not eat anything before coming to the gym"

Lay down and wept silently after round 3, took 45 minutes to shower and put a suit on and can honestly say this is the most difficult workout I have done recently.

Like an idiot, I acidentally performed dips instead of sit-ups. I think it actually made it harder. I felt like I got punched in the face after round 3. I ran out of time and had to leave. I will get to 5 rounds next time. Times went like this:

Round 1: 3:45
20 Kipping Pulls (straight through)
30 Dips (25 straight through)
30 Push-Ups (Broken...after the dips and Helen the other day, my chest was/is rocked)
50 Squats

Round 2: 7 minutes
20 Kipping Pulls (straight through)
30 Dips (broken0
30 Push-ups (severely broken)
50 Squats (this was like a rest period at this point!)

Round 3: 7:30 minutes
20 Kipping Pulls (broken)
30 dips (broken severely)
30 Push-ups (I don't even want to talk about it)
50 Squats

By the way, I meant "Linda" in the previous post, not "Helen".

Love the hummer, every gym should have one. I'm surpised it only took 10 comments before someone complained about the H2.

WOD as Rx'd, total time 27 min. Dead hang pull ups and the first 15 push-ups of each set were clap push-ups. All the while rocking out to Social D.

Then finished the day with a tweleve mile run avg. 8:15 miles. I'm training for the Uwharrie 40 mile trail race in Feb., but I've spent more time in the gym then on the road training. So we'll see how things go.

#170 valerie -- ROM is "range of motion."

3:57,4:55,5:43,5:19,5:01=some WILDLY inconsistent times. I wonder if the later WOD time (7pm) contributed to my sharp decline. I know my push ups were terrible and the sit ups could have been better. I ripped through all pull ups for 20 in a row each round.
Last times looked like 4:52, 5:03, 5:02, 5:05, 4:37 so my first time blew away all previous outputs but I fell off like crazy. I dunno, I'm an enigma.

Thanks dammit! I'm an idiot. Can you explain range of motion to me? I hate to sound stupid, but not sure how that relates to things like sit-ups. I just want to make sure I am doing everything correctly.

#168, why should every gym have a Hummer? If you said, 'to push it around when the gas-guzzling piece of crap breaks down' then I'd understand. But if gyms represent good health and well-being then a Hummer would be the exact polar opposite of that philosophy. If Hummer opened a gym people would go in to eat triple Classic combos and throw money into a fireplace. To paraphrase: Hummers Suck.

Only completed 3 rounds on this one.
Round1-4:31 (4:37 last time)
Round2-4:53 (5:14 last time)
Round3-5:34 (6:28 last time)

Much better then last time, but still couldn't even think about all 5 rounds without gagging.

Kelly Moore and Bridges have some sick times and we can always count on extraordinary stuff from them. But this guy/girl Speal from post #125 is down right insane. Each set calls for 150 reps in various position from hanging to pushing to sitting to squating. Speal's got 4 sets under 2 minutes. In other words he/she is doing 150 reps + transitions in under 120 seconds. If I wasn't so impressed, I'd be skeptical. But around here, anything is possible. Just ask AFT about his time on video for Diane.

Nice efforts everyone!

#99 Steve-

Are you against the fact that he's a small business owner that is advertising his business, trying to recover his initial investment, trying to turn a profit, bring in more clients, or just the fact that it's a Hummer, and that's not 'grassroots' enough for you? How is it any different than certified and affiliated trainers teaching CrossFit classes in established Big Box gyms? I don't see the harm in trying to promote his business, more power to him?

Try as people may to keep CrossFit grassroots, underground, or however you want to spin it, the fact of the matter is that it's a kick-ass concept, and people are going to start becoming more aware of it and what it is. The proverbial cat is kicking and screaming and clawing, and it will find it's way out of the bag eventually. Maybe not as CrossFit as you and I know it, maybe repackaged and watered down by someone else, but it will make it into the public's awareness, if it hasn't already. Just look at the fact that you can buy pink, plastic coated kettlebells, or the fact that the new Rocky film has him working out w/ kettlebells, or Parkour in the new Bond film for examples of what I am talking about.

Before I ever found CrossFit, I was a regular reader of Men's Health, et al., and noticed that more and more, the workouts there were incorporating bodyweight exercises, circuits, complexes, etc. in their pages. It seems to me that the pendulum has started swinging in favor of more functional workouts than body building type workouts, and CrossFit will gain in popularity and be spun off by others claiming it as theirs. And I'm sure that it will swing back the other way, because that's the nature of the beast. And until then, I guess we'll all have to put up with the commercialization of what we know and love as CrossFit, albeit poached from Coach and packaged as a different name.

Ben (age 8 in 26 days, but who's counting?) and I (44 and definitely NOT counting!) did Barbara-lite together (I already climbed 45 minutes of hills with the dogs earlier today).

Dynamic warmup first, then:
Ben did 5 rounds of 5 pullups, 10 pushups, 15 knees up on the captain's chair, and 20 squats. Time: 29 minutes.

I did 5 rounds of 10 pullups, 15 pushups, 20 knees up on the captain's chair, and 25 squats. Time: 24 minutes.

Followed with 2 sets of dumbbell push press, db cleans, and single-arm snatches (15 lb, 15 lb and 10 lb dbs per hand, respectively for me), Ben did one round of 10 db push press and db squats with 5lbs per hand. Finished with 25 broomstick OHS for form for me.

Subbed the captain's chair for regular sit-ups because the concrete floor in the garage was COLD! Fun workout for both of us.

What a day to start this Crossfit thing! Outch.

Did 4 rounds of Barbara light: 10/20/30/40, all pull-ups were jumping.

Looking forward to the 10k tomorrow, since my upper body won't be functioning for a while.

Good points in your post. It is going main stream and I'll be the first to admit I found out about it in Men's Journal last year. I guess it just feels cool to be a part of a community that a lot of folks just can't understand or don't want to understand. After all, why would someone do Crossfit in their basement or garage or back yard or the park or some corner of a big box gym until they were near puking when they could do some core training with a swiss ball, a pink kettlebell and a $30 per hour personal trainer. Because it makes you feel like you are living. You feel pain that others can't comprehend. You get comaraderie, encouragement and coaching from hundreds of other believers. You get more fit then you've ever thought possible. You get strange looks from other people that only helps to convince you that you are on the right track. Most importantly, you can look yourself in the mirror and know that you are a part of the real deal. Not some pirated, watered down version of the original.

If someone is getting fit and healthy using some of the pirated ideas and techniques developed by coach, well that should be commended. At least they're doing something. But, I'm glad I get my fix straight from the horses mouth.

Coach, Thanks for the program!

pretty upset about this, this is the first wod I haven't been able to complete since the first one I ever tried (Linda unscaled back in April). Just took some extra rest last week, but still got into the 4th round and could not push through. Really discouraged; no reason for this.

4 rounds, did not time
6 p/u - 40 assist
15 push-ups
30 sit ups (did sit up routnie yesterday with WOD)
50 squats

Five rounds, each for time of:
20 Pull-ups (broken 7-7-6)
30 Push-ups (broken 15-10-5 first round, this went to 10-10-5-5, then became even more broken)
40 Sit-ups (done on bench, feet anchored on Smith machine, full ROM-touching ground behind me then toes; last 2 rounds took a couple of quick rests to catch breath)
50 Squats (again, last 2 rounds took a couple of quick rests to catch breath)

I was dreading posting my times, but I see that there are a few people besides me who can't rip through a round without losing some time to resting. Pushups definitely my weak point.

#1--about 8.5 minutes (lost track a bit)
#2--6.75 minutes
#3--8.25 minutes
#4--about 11
#5--about 11

Pull ups assisted with a large rubber band.

Are you sure the name of this WOD isn't "Barbaric?"

OK, enough whining, on to my attempt today. My shoulders are shot, stopped at pull-ups after round 3. I don't know if that is because the OH squats did a number on them or not. I completed three rounds, then went home to get ready for work. Did the WOD outdoors on the local college's ROTC equipment, which includes a pretty thick bar which I haven't used for a while since the weather has been colder, so a lot of the issue was grip strength. Eventually I felt pain in my left shoulder, indicating the lack of flexibility I still harbor there. Slowly working on it.

Ok, here's how it went:

12:38
11:38
15:40

All kipping pull-ups different grips/widths, all sets broken. New-for-me style sit-ups, very difficult. Rnd. one took awhile for them, then switched to different abs workouts.

During broken sets, took 40 secs to stretch since I was strained for time today, so I took a lot more breaks than had I not stretched. I did not sleep well, so I took it easier than I might have well-rested.

1 hour 13 minutes total workout time (including 3 min. breaks). my dish pan hands hurt.

4:38, 4:40, 4:55, 4:58, just starting on the sit-ups in rnd 5 and Pukie came to play. Seemed like a good time to stop. Pull ups on bits of rope looped over doorframe, push ups on parallettes, sit ups unanchored, squats to 13" box.

Pull-ups done with a gravitron (60/70/75/75/65)

did yesterday and todays workout (only one round of barbara)...

45/65/65/65/65 for OHS...kept the weight light, could feel the muscles in my back straining, wanted to keep proper form, first time on this one...

5:40 for first round of barbara...then pukie walked into the gym and looked my way...i had to abandon ship, and plus i had class in 30 minutes...disappointed with the effort, but I will be back barbara, count on that.....

This sucked.

500m row warmup.

3:50/4:07/5:33/5:09/5:28

Yikes. This was not fun at all.

First three were as rx'd, last two scaled down to 10/20/30/40 because the gym was closing.

1. 4:37
3 min rest
2. 4:12
3 min rest
3. 4:43
3 min rest
4. 3:00
4 min rest
5. 2:50

Unfortunately, the last set had a little longer rest. Next time Barbara is attempted I will make sure to give myself enough time to complete all 5 sets as rx'd. I'm gonna sleep well tonight!!!

1st: 4:35
2nd: 4:55
3rd: 5:05
4th: 6:00
5th: 5:15 (no squats due to soreness)

3 minute rest in between

Julie can't squat right now so
5 rounds
10 push-ups
15 sit-ups
15 back extensions
She didn't time it but worked hard. She later said she didn't go down far enough on her push-ups.

This was the type of workout where you know you did not eat good during the day. It sucked everything out of me.

Only had cell phone for time, around 4 +-min/round.

this post is a day late so hopefully you read it. band assisted chin ups are done by attached a band or strong tubing to the chin up bar. You then place one foot into the loop and this elasticity of the band provides some assistance. It is much better than a graviton as it only provides a bit of help getting out of the bottom and the rest is all you. You'd progress from a machine assisted chin up to a band assisted and then on to unassisted chins.

Pull ups slowed me down, but only kipped/strict PUs this time. Felt the gurgling in my throat during last set of sit ups and when I got back from the Gym. I also couldn't hear right after the WOD. Awesome!

Did this with my 9 YO son, had to do rope pulls as we dont have a bar, i didn't know whether he'd complete it but was amssed when he finnished it off one set ahead of me.

ya lose the hummer park a civic or prius up there

Haven't got the form on kipping yet, so I substituted 10 deadhangs in each set.

Couldn't do the fifth set. Too much dry heaving on 4th set. Early sat morning workout with no food beforehand. This one killed me. Very close to meeting Pukie (with a capital "P") if I had eaten before working out.

I did not beg, borrow, steal, or cheat to get my times. They may not be great but their mine. Pushups for first set done regular, every set after on knees. Pullups were jumping/ negatives. Squats were to parallel, I wanted to preserve my knee.
