D u e l...doh!

Going for 22 rounds.

Holy smokes that video is a lot of people doing a lot of stuff all at the same time!!! I wanna go to one of those seminars!

I saw AFT in the background, representing Calgary!!

i love cindy but i'm taking a newman to hyperfit in Ann Arbor Michigan. i'll catch Cindy this weekend, unless Doug has us do itat hyperfit[pretty please].

Going for 20 rounds...

Awsome Video San Diego! I am looking for a contact for Orange County Fire Auth. Any help would be great.

Thanks.

If you have to have one of the shirts featured in the video check us out. www.crossfitaandm.blogspot.com

First crossfit workout ever, and did it Thurs. night because that's my "me" time.

6 rounds, and the pull-ups got pretty sketchy by the end. Long ways to go, but looking forward to it :)

Jay

I think I may go for Mary this time. I was hoping we would have something I could use my new bar on, guess it'll have to weight.

One question when is crossfit seminar comming to Australia. Awsome video

Post results later today for 'Mary'

I concur with your comments Sam #11. Crossfit seminar down under would be sensational. Even if it was over east, I could justify a flight over there to the other half. Flight to the US a bit harder to get past her!

Another great video!!

Hip Rob,
Thanks for a fun weekend. I hope I'm in your group at the next cert.

Sam #11 is correct. An Australian seminar would be great! Melbourne please ;)

My best previous Cindy was 10 rounds. However I hadnt mastered kipping then. I have mastered kipping now though and am expecting a big PB.

26 rnds + 3 pullups

#15 - 26 Rounds !! God I have a long way to go.

I did Cindy on the Saturday before last. I got 11 rounds. I had to go to box pushups in round 6.

It's 3 rounds more than last time. But I think I stuck with floor push ups that time.

Love the videos, keep them coming! Am I being too picky, or are they always doing kipping pull ups to me?

Been wanting to do Mary for a while now. I've done Cindy and gotten pretty good at her. Don't know how to do one legged squats though. Any suggestions, can't find it on the exercises. Thanks for any help.

Cindy as RX'd
16 rnds +5 Pull and 5 PU
no kipping all good pull

I just looked at what i did last time and i must have miss counted, i was smoked after today and didn't do nearly as much. i need a video of myself to keep myself in check...

Coach,
Thanks for bringing Crossfit. During my after Cindy stupor (27 rnds + 5 Pull-ups), I was thinking how this is vital to my DT training and the training I give my department. One of the many factors for escalation in use of force is exhaustion. I believe that it is vital for our officers to increase their level of exhaustion and also recognize when they are going to reach that point, and how to push past it. Also, since we are public safety (fire and police), this obviously applies to the firefighting side also. Awesome program! I hope to find a way to make it to Ann Arbor.
Tim L

Worked out in NY City with my daughter to keep me honest. Fru-Fru work out room though. Had to fight for a pull up bar/machine/whatever.

Had a superb PB today!

Both PJ and Glen did 29 rounds! It is great to have someone right next to you pushing. When one would go ahead the other would push to catch up and not fall behind.

Squats to bench, pull-ups kipped.

Feeling exhausted by proud at the same time.

Travis L- funny play on words! Maybe you'll get your chance to use your bar tomorrow.

Question - What do you do if you can't maintain the rep count on one of the exercises? For example, in Cindy, what if I can't keep up sets of 5 pull-ups? Do I do as many as I can and move on to the next exercise, or do I do as many as I can, rest and do some more, rest, do some more, etc., until I reach the prescribed reps before moving on to the next exercise?

145lbs/29yoa

CFWU x 3 (modified)

"Cindy/Mary"

I did "Cindy" (settle down) but subbed the HSPUs from "Mary" for the 10 push-ups. I did this because my 1RM Press from the CF Total was lame and I wanted to work on more pressing strength.

5 pullups (overhand, strict form)
10 Handstand Pullups (feet on squat rack bar, 70-80 degrees?)
15 squats (butt to med ball)

Total Rounds: 17 in 19:54 (took the last 6 seconds to stumble 3 feet to my water)

None of the sets were broken, although the last 3 sets of HSPUs were a bee-otch and therefore lacking great form.

Good workout

230lbs/33yo

Warmup- 4 mi run. I am in the Army (Airborne!!) So I couldn't get away from PT.

Cindy as Rx'd-12 rounds. I was good for the first eleven, but I sucked on keeping the reps on the last two. Paid attention to strict form for quality.

Signing out on leave today, but will continue to Crossfit!!

AIRBORNE!!

32 rounds + 5 pullups and 6 pushups of Cindy....needed a break from Mary.

What a way to end of exam period.

Off to write calculus, eat lunch and then I'll do cindy this afternoon.

Also signing out on leave today, will try and keep doing CF over the holidays.

I have a question along the same lines as comment #19. With alternating one leg squat is it 10 total or 10 each leg? A little explanation of the tech would be nice as well. Thanks

Been doing crossfit for about 3 months now - Absolutely Love It!!!!!!!!!

#31 Johnny, do what you stated second, i.e., break the individual sets of pulls into blocks of 4-1, 3-2, 1-1-1-1-1 or whatever. Don't proceed until you finish all five. Same for the other exercises.

#19 Jay M. Pistols are done with one leg extended to the front, arms extended toward front, pull down into full squat position, then stand up. If your like me, initially you'll need to do these next to something that you can grab for balance and/or assistance. Alternate legs for 10 reps total.

Kelly M, awesome score and inspirational as always. PJ and Glen, also awesome!

Team Campbell:

"Cindy"

JoeyD: 16 complete rounds

Funny....I didn't take a rest day yesterday and did a modified Cindy:

10dips
10 30" box jumps
For max reps 20 min. .....and lo and behold ...more Cindy
I think the Coach is on to me....

I am trying like hell to get to the Raleigh seminar. If anyone would like to sponsor a broke scientist..... My "will squat for crossfit seminar cash" is not really pulling in the numbers I expected. Donations in small unmarked US or Euros greatly appreciated. I will bring crossfit to Richmond if it kills me.

Did Cindy again

Really pushed myself this morning. Last time I kept a good pace all the way through and didn't feel too bad. Today I went through a little faster and did better but almost blew chunks. Reps still felt solid with good ROM.

Not a PR, but a good workout none the less.

Favorite comment from my 4 year old as I was doing some warm-up squats in the living room, "mommy go play outside".

I'm glad she views my exercising as play :)

Cindy: 13 rounds + 5 jumping pull ups

I have been having achilles tendon pain lately since I started Crossfit several weeks ago. I find it goes away (for the most part) when there are no WOD with squats.
Is this possibly a technique problem or does anyone know what i can do to help fix the problem (similar problems for anyone else)?

Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Easing myself back into it after 5 days away.

Did CFWU x 3 but with 50 situps and 50 back extens per round. Felt good to get the joints moving again.

"Cindy"

20 rounds + 5 pull ups, 2 push ups

I described the work out to a friend: "I felt like I was drowning for 20 minutes...." These kind of work outs, I just can't seem to get enough air

22 rounds + 5 pull-ups

1st time effort, I mistakenly took too much rest during the inital rounds.

Cindy

Figured this would be "cake". Nope. Who would have guessed this was a cardio workout?

Was doing a round a minute for the first 5 minutes, then started slowing dow. By round 9, my form was suffering and breaking down a little bit.

All together?

12 rounds.

Will do better next time. Best part: only had one broken set of pull-ups, ad for the most part, did this..

...As Rx'd.

Long time watcher, first time Crossfit workout:

Did first four rounds in 2:15, thought I would be able to maintain min per round pace thereafter. Wrong.

Do you people actually do this workout or just laugh at the newbies?

This is my 3rd WOD.

Cindy for 14 rounds right at 20 minutes. Pullups are definately my weakest thing, but are improving!

BW: 175 AGE: 28

I've convinced my boyfriend to join me in crossfitting. When I was doing it on my own, I don't think he believed how hard it is. Then one of his SOF friends told him he's also into crossfit, and that convinced him to try it. I think he's a convert now.

We managed 12 rounds of Cindy today, I slowed down for him a little ;-)

Hit my goal: 22 rounds, on the dot.

Last time did 18 rounds.

goal for next time is 24 rounds

kipping pullups

Cindy:

12 rounds and 3 pull-ups (All jumping pull-ups)

Feel a little like I'm over-training. This weekend means sleep!

Cindy
12 rounds plus 5plu, 10pshu, 6 squat

Wow, I'm in pictures on the main site 3 times in a week. I feel like a minor unknown celebrity like an uncredited extra in Braveheart or something...

As Rx'd
10 Rounds
19:30

Cindy------ 32 rnds. (ties PR)

what does it mean when someone says they did,say,26 round......+5 pull-ups,+5 push ups.I know what the 26 rounds are,just not the "plus" part.

6 full rounds plus 5 hspu, 10 pistols, 3 pullups of Mary.
Bar at my Y not good for kippings so all chins done strict parallel grips. That is what slowed me down.
thruster and double under practice afterwards with some knees to elbows thrown in.
oh yeah, my pistols are only to parallel at this stage.

12 rounds , by the 4 round was doing 2 strict then rest jumping , then last all on door handle - but did 10 to compensate. Push ups strict .Forearms absolutely shot-Spot the Weakest Link!!!!

Cindy: 12 rounds + 5 pullups & 10 push ups
Did a combo of chin ups and negatives with a few jumpers thrown in

"Cindy" 17 Rounds with 45 secs to spare.

25 rounds in 20:08 (PR by 4 rounds!)

kipping pullups for last 7 rounds or so...

pushups unbroken until last set

#87 Collin,

26 rounds +5 pullups +5 pushups means they were that far along in the 27th round when the clock struck 20 minutes. Rather than stopping at 26 full rounds, they went the extra mile for more reps. Get it?

Just a postscript.I really flowed today and so carried on for another 10 minutes ,hence the high number of rounds.This may only happen occasionally but it is a good feeling.Of course it could just be the result of following Crossfit for a while.

First time trying Mary today- 9 rounds full rounds + 5 hspu's + 10 pistols then collasped.
(hspu's one foot on squat rack, other straight up in air, pistols assisted to parallel, kipping pull ups)
Much harder than cindy imho (15 rounds PR last time), those pistols hurt so good! I thought I was in really good shape until I started doing crossfit. Stopped "bodybuilding" style lifting for crossfit about two months ago and haven't looked back. I'm hooked.

Mary Mary, where you going to?

10 full rounds plus 5 HSPU and 1 pistol, almost one full round more than last time BUT my pistols are better. Previously I was lowering my butt to an 8" bench, today I just elevated my heels and went all the way down so they were harder to do.

Today's version of Mary actually felt more metabolically taxing than the previous ones because I'm getting faster now. Good times.

29/M/5'10"/201

As Rx'd, 17 rounds + 5 pullups and 10 pushups.

squats were all ATA and full ext.

only sets of push-ups were broken(from 10th round and on)

I tried to "stratecise" with Cindy by starting each round on the minute. Only lasted 5 rounds like that. Never took longer than 30 second breather and last 3 rounds were continuous to beat last time I did Cindy.

Cindy

First time doing all pull-ups for all rounds!
Previous best was 12 rnds of pull-ups and rest were jumping.

Cindy, 18 rounds + 5 pullups + 9 pushups. 5 pullups + 9 pushups better than last time. I'm still using an interval timer set to 20 1-minute intervals, but this time I didn't rest out the full minute on the early rounds, rather only about 5-8 seconds. It seemed to make at least some difference.

Last time 25 rounds + 5 PU's (Cindy) with 20 lb. vest

12 full rds and 5 HSPU
Pull-ups done on ledge, mostly dead hang.

last time, 17 rounds, with negatives for pull ups after about the first five rounds.

This time, strict pull ups for first five rounds, the kipping. My kipping pull ups are still nothing to brag about, but I think their better than my negatives. The kool aid tastes good.

17 rounds + 5 pull-ups + 10 push-ups (6 round improvement)

Kipping pullups

Mary for 7 rounds - M/43/6'/185

Pistols continue to be the most difficult portion of this workout for me but were done correctly, full range, no heel elevation, no counterweight in hands, painfully.

I was able to do some of the HSPU reps without touching the wall, balance getting better.

Looks like I have a date with Cindy tonight - one day behind.

Fat Cindy (w/25# plate in a knapsack):14+5 pu's. I belted the knapsack to my torso to enable me to kip without smashing the plate into my back, but the pushups, just on general fatigue grounds, became a chore. For some reason, Cindy is one of the few CF WOD's that seems to match my small skill set, so make it harder and go again! Thanks, Coach! BW:176, YOA:58

Male, 47 - BW:175

My first actual timed Cindy - 11 complete rounds. Pull ups were alternating bar and rings - all dead hang; push ups on paralettes. Felt really good - I think 12 is doable next time!

22 rounds plus 5 pullups and 10 pushups. In-line with prior PR of 22. Was shooting for 23 but ran out of gas after setting a torrid pace up until the halfway mark. I'll take it given moderate fatigue.

Also saw a trainer today getting a client to use the cable crossover machine to basically do thrusters. I'm thinking, why not just thrusters?

Slight modification from today's WOD. Friday's are what the group I work out with calls SufferFest. I took this from another CF group that I saw on this web page and modified to fit our equipment set. It was killer and awesome. Details below:

2 - kbell left arm snatch
3 - kbell walking lunge
4 - kbell right arm snatch
5 - kbell goblet squat

Rotation C (65lb 1st time, 45 second time)

Did this one Chelsea style. Pull-ups ( all strict dead hangers) started to fail so called it after 10 rounds in 10 mins with 35 seconds per round. So this workout and maybe some ring tricks with 300% improvement will get me to Level III. How does one go about getting their level certified anyway?

A superman is a back extension done on the floor. Begin by laying down on the floor with your stomach to the floor and arms straight ahead and try to lift your arms and chest away from the floor as much as you can and hold it there for about a second before going back down to the starting position. Imagine that you are superman and you are flying.

Did 20 Cindy's last time, this time I was going to try for 22, got through 10+5 pullups in 9:20, then got a call...No time to finish. Oh well, maybe I'll do the other half tomorrow.

Kinda a combo of both:
5 hspu
10 mod push-ups
15 squats

16.5 rounds in 20 min. - held the last handstand as long as I could on each round.

Didn't do the workout. I did the Cinco de Mayo yesterday (made a pair of 70's, with some grunting), and will do 8 or so hard miles tomorrow with a pack. I say that, just to justify commenting on a non-Rest Day.

I have often found it difficult finding food in even Mexican and Indian Restaurants that is hot enough for me. I drink espresso black with no sugar, and when I take aspirin, I pour the powder on my tongue. There's just a part of me that likes stuff pure, and unadulterated.

In round 4 of those bottom to bottom Tabatas, I found myself smiling. I don't know why. I've been through them before, and that is the most painful physical thing I've ever done. I had been dreading them all week. But a beautiful thing about CrossFit, is it pulls out of you this energy, this cloud, that resists pain, and pushes back. I'd like to thank Coach for not compromising.

Doh, make the height in my last post 5 ft 11. Typo!
Started out feeling great and had 12 rounds at 10 mins, did only half as many in final 10 mins. I just couldn't help myself; the adreneline got the better of me.

I knew I have been slacking at my PT for the last five years because none of my workouts made me want to puke or filled me with that little thrill of fear prior to doing them. None gave me that jagged adreneline rush that leaves you shaking but happy at the end of the workout. You know, that feeling where you are slightly achey and fatigued, maybe a little off balance and your head is buzzing, but you have the satisfaction of knowing you really pushed yourself? Well, it has been missing from my life the last 5 years but Crossfit has brought it back. Thanks Barry Cooper for introducing me to Cross Fit. Thanks Coach for envisioning this system.

20 rds in around 20 minutes of work... ipod trouble

did in my backyard in the 0 degree weather (32 farhenheit)

compare to last time 21 + 5 pull, but this time I focused on perfect form, making sure my chin was fully over the bar on pullups and doing full pushups. Not to say my form was bad before, but I think the best way for me to really work this WOD is to do it with perfect form and not slack at all. It was much harder to get the rounds done than last time.

Cindy was the first workout I ever did on Crossfit back on 10/25/06. I beat that by 3 full rounds exactly (12 rounds +5 pull-ups). Not bad, but my goal was 18 rounds.
In all my griping about my lack of cardio progress, I can tell by this workout it has definitely improved. Still a ways to go though.

After doing Mary last two times, felt like I needed Cindy to get more met con

27 rds, 15 secs to spare, did nothing with those 15 secs.

Just a note, amazing how much worse 175 squats feel in tabata 20/10 for 4 minutes, than 405 in 20 minutes.

I think I did Mary last time, so I did Cindy today.

Completely did not pay attention to how many rounds I was doing. I guess maybe I was thinking about the new place I was doing it, in my garage.

definitely did at least 14 rounds plus 1 pull-up rep.
Possibly, although doubtful, because I see some CF veterans seem to be doing these numbers, I did 20 rounds plus 1 pull-up rep. Likely the former. We'll find out next time I do Cindy I guess.

All pull-ups strict, only started breaking them up in the last four or five rounds. Tried to make sure my back was straight for the push-ups, and I went all the way down for the pull-ups. Push-ups were also broken toward the end only getting about 6 completed before a ten or fifteen second break.

Saturday I did Cindy, my first WOD ever. I thought I was in pretty good shape and my goal was 17 rounds. Well, I only did 10 plus 1 pull up. Freaking kicked my butt! I love it! My wife was laughing at me because after the third round I really had to slow way down and pace myself. I see why this is so addictive, I'm already hooked!

Cindy was good. I had to go to the assisted for set 8-18 50lbs off bwt.

17 rounds + 5 pull ups... PR on Cindy. I should have gone faster as I felt strong at the end. Paced myself too much...

As for graduating to Mary for this WOD, should I be shooting for over 20 rounds on Cindy before I move to Mary or more/less or just exercise my personal preference?

Never done "real" HSPUs on Mary before, so I can't really compare scores. This certainly whooped me though, and the pull-ups were definitely the most intimidating exercise out of the group.

3 months into Crossfit. body weight 207#. Did Cindy once, this time I tried a cindy/mary hybrid. Can't do HSPU's in my apartment, but I do have a pullup bar and rings, so I did

7 ring pushups, legs up 18" on a chair
10 Pistols, alternating
10 pullups ( can't do a real kip in my apartment, so they were kip/dead hang hybrids)

8 rounds in 20 minutes, but in round 7 my right leg gave out, so I had to do 15 regular squats for rounds 7 and 8.
