Been away from Crossfit Flagstaff and have not yet acquired and free weights (will this weekend, yahoo!) so I'm fired up to have a body weight workout... or is it? Are these one legged squats (AKA pistols?) Rx'ed without weight? The vast majority of the pictures I've seen have been with weight.

This is the 2nd time in as many weeks where we have seen a video involving burpees to muscle-ups.

Hmmmm.......

Regular air squats jerimiah, no weight, only pistols if you do mary.

Thanks for the reply Travis. I could have been more clear: are the pistols of Mary w/o weight?

I love Burpees!! That picture is amazing. How did you get it with everyone off the ground??

#4 Jerimiah- yes, no weights

Dutch, you love Burpees? I'm pretty sure they where created for torture only, not enjoyment. Are you sure you are doing them correctly, because when I do them I am in pain?

I remember that a long time ago Coach was musing about doing away with burpees because of the jumping into flexion aspect. I see that they're still around...did he ever explain what led him to decide to keep them?

The pain feels so good!! So you can check my form...

Can someone tell me what the CFWU is? I presume that it is the Crossfit warm up but what does it consist of. Any help would be nice.

On the one legged squat is the free leg behind or in front - are there any demo videos.pictures? Thx

Dutch

those are some rediculously good burpees!
totally fluid...wow man

I need to get more comfortable with falling on the ground that fast

I realize that posters generally hate people who get off topic (this relates to the burpee video, not the WOD), so if you're one of those people then disregard this.

I've never seen crossfit advocate or mention 'burcleans' or 'bursnatches'- where you address a barbell as if cleaning/snatching, do the push up part of the burpee with both hands on the barbell, keep them on the barbell for the squat, then substitute a clean or a snatch for the jump- give 'em a try- I love 'em.

I like to think it is athletic ability, but it could be stupidity. haha. Thanks for the kind words.

would anyone comment on how crossfit has improved their PT, PRT, PAST, etc. scores? I can see how it definitely builds up the pullups....how about max pushups and situps?

Okay on PUs and Squats, but PUs killed me.
Had to jump and emphasize negatives by rnd 3.

Clarification - Okay on push-ups....pull-ups killed me...

Is there anyone crossfitting in the Joliet/Plainfield Illinois area? If so shoot me an email. Would love to meet some kindred spirits for weekend workouts or just to bounce ideas around.

Post on the comments, about where you are from and all that good stuff!

Great photo. Great weekend. Great coach.

#10 Jeremy regarding your question check out the FAQ link which is essential information for new Crossfitters. Seek and you shall find.

hey, I was just wondering if someone has a video or a good descpritive tutorial of one legged squats "crossfit style", because i just dont know exactly which ones i am supposed to do. I know too many variations of one leg squats. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Justin

Jeremy

It is the CF warm up. Check the FAQ, it is full of useful info.

I will be doing Cindy at the gym tommorrow. I can't wait for the funny looks and comments on my intensity. Love this stuff!!

Jeremy (comment #10)

read up, bro!

(from the FAQ)
1.8. What's the "official" CrossFit warmup?
The "official" CrossFit Warm-up is in the April 2003 CrossFit Journal.

3 rounds of 10-15 reps of
Samson Stretch (do the Samson Stretch once each round for 15-30 seconds)
Overhead Squat with broomstick
Sit-up
Back-extension
Pull-up
Dip
Note that for a workout that's dip or pullup-centric, you might want to do something else in the warmup.

I know this is a little off topic but is there a good way to develop a muscle up? I have been trying to do them for a while and I can't get my elbows over. I can do pull ups and dips pretty good but what gets me is the conversion from the up pullup position to the dip down position. Thanks.

#8 david - I posted this same question on Eva's site (about burpees). I believe Coach said he kept them only because they seemed to be so popular. I remember the comments as well, but I'm unsure if they were on the board or on a WoD comments section. I find I have lower back pain if I do a lot of burpees, so I may pass on them in the future and do them only for the Filthy Fifty or some other "special workout".

We sometimes have our athletes do burpees to a dumbell height. They do their bends and thrusts off of the DB's and don't have to flex the lower back as much. The push ups are nice and deep with the DB's too. Just one option.

I just bought a new Mac and I cant open the videos what application should I use? Thanks

Comment #25: John. Try lowering the rings so when you stand up straight your hands are below the transition point. Then just use your legs to help you through the transition. Worked wonders for me.

Comment #28: Matt. Go to microsoft.com/mac and look around for Windows Media Player for Mac OS X and download it. You should be good to go.

YAAAAAAY BURPIES!!!!!!!Great photo!!!It really captured the spirit of the seminar:lots of energy, great attitudes, and people hungry to learn.

Not sure if this is the place to post this on the site....but you gotta see this guy. Yes, I know is a break dancing video, but this guys core strength is UNBELIEVABLE!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAznhunJC5Q

Anyways, I'm shooting for taking Cindy on for 20 rounds this time. (18 last time)

By the way, check out his planche pushups on his fingertips at the end of the video

Happy to say I planned this workout tomorrow with my roommate, who has very few of the technical skills that CF requires.

His first time floored him, which was incidentally my first CF workout. His score: 9. Mine: 11.

My personal record stands at 15. Should beat it, tomorrow.

mary
with a tree not in my usual setting...
5 rounds

Question

when i make my rounds with cindy tomorrow, with the 15 squats, how much weight are we talking? Im a newbie completed 8 wod, age 24 body weight 225 6'3

#35 Garth

Just your own weight

Cindy
13 and change

1st CF workout

39 yo male, 172#

First time with Cindy: 20 rounds as RX'd

No broken sets, all pullups kipping varied grip from set to set.

Surprised myself, but had nothing left in the tank on last round with 13 seconds left on the clock. But that's the goal, right?

Week six of CF, I love this stuff.

Garth, use your own body only. No extra added weight. May be later, if you are realy realy realy strong ( and do 30+ rounds/or are more than slightly crazy:))

Pullups really slowed me down. Had to use gravitron by rd 9. Push ups and squats felt perfect.

38yo 100kgs/220pnds

Warmed up by mowing the lawn for nearly 2 hours

As Rx'ed: 12 rounds. Was fairly happy, but I need to stop dawdling between rounds so much.

I'm pretty annoyed at myself for missing yesterdays WOD too. I'll have to add it on sometime, but the WOD's, just as they are, are tough enough!!

#15 gundy,
My PRT run dropped 30 seconds (1.5 mi) between Apr 06 and Oct 06. My pushups and situps I already maxed out but the pushups were easier. Situps still suck. During this time Crossfit became my exclusive interval and strength training program. When I tested myself on the SWCC PRT my pullups went from 15-16 deadhang to 20. Off to the Chief exam wish me luck. V/R Bob

Wow! Had a slice of humble pie this morning.

Full extension pull-ups with as much kip as I could muster

Chest to deck push-ups

Squats to a 50 pound dumbell on end.

PJ- 22 rounds
Glenn- 21 rounds

Had a previous cheating Cindy of 29 rounds with non-full extension pull-ups and squats to bench.

19 rounds + 5 pullups. 43 y/o male, 180 lbs

Mary
6 rds + 5 hspu and 10 one legged squats (did not get p/u in this 7th rd)

muscle failure on p/u was limiting factor

Male

Cindy
20 Rounds

280#'s/43 yoa

Modified Cindy: jumping pull ups, push ups between mini-paralettes and 45# OHS

9 rounds + 5 pullups and 2 pushups/10 rounds in 22 minutes

Cindy

17 rounds + 5pull ups & 10 push ups

Should have got to 20, I was pretty slow this morning.

If my lo back is alittle tweaked, would it be better for me to do snatchs or OHS, for a previous WOD. which has less leverage on the lo back?
thanks.

CFWU (10), WOD 'Cindy', 22 rounds + 5 pullups + 10 pushups...PR...felt good

Matt #28,

You need to download Windows Media Player for Mac. You can Google it. It's a freedown load. Let me know if you have any questions. My wife and I both have Macs and had to do the same thing at first.

Mike G #13: Check out Board inder exercises. I describe a version with a med ball incorporating a med ball slam, push-up on the med ball, and med ball clean = 1rep. Called it a "Slurpee". Fun.

#38 Bayendor: First Cindy ever 20 rounds!! Strong work.

Will do my first Mary today. Plan to revert to jumping PU in order to get more than 5 rounds. PU are limiting factor by far...

Warm up: Jump rope and basketball
Cindy
13 rounds + 3 1/2 pull-ups (Did 4th pull-up after time expired)
Pull-up sets: 5, 4-1, 3-2, 2-1-1-1, 2-1-1-1, then all singles (did tip-toe pull-ups as needed)

Big Cindy: Cindy with 15# Xvest. Bwt 114#

24 rounds + 5 pullups/6 pushups

All movements full ROM....pullups and squats stayed stronge with no breaks; pushups became the problem. I had to do the old "kneel, pause and return" break once during each pushup set starting at the 19th round. The reps didn't count if I didn't touch the vest to the desk, maintain full plank and have elbow extension at the top.

I was aiming for better than 25 rounds with the vest - next time.

28 rounds (PR) plus 5 push-ups & 10 push ups

Steve HB...is that you in the front????

You struck me in SD as an over-achiever:)

Cindy - 30 rounds

Personal record, personal milestone, very excited

Hello X-Fitters-
Cindy: 20 Rounds of heaving joy.

Changed my name from Ant Chick (capable of lifting and tranporting more than her body weight) to Spider Chick (capable of spinning webs and catching terrorists just like flies). The occasion for the name change? I just did my first rope climb to the gym rafters last night. IT WAS AWESOME!! Coach hung a rope, I had been dreaming of this moment for quite awhile, and I threw myself at the line and just scrambled right up. Did it again another 5 times just to re-live the fear & accompanying adrenaline rush... it would have been a long fall or wicked rope burn if I messed up. Almost as much fun as a girl gets from a near miss in a car crash.

Now to conquer my remaining 2 X-Fit goals for 007: the to-the-floor HSPU and the muscle up. Just got notified that my rings are in FedEx's hands and on their merry way.

18th day of Zone. Dang. Huge difference. Highly recommended. Not grouchy or hungry any more either. Just got more muscles and less body fat. Workouts still strong too. Happy 40/30/30 to you all.

And, as for #13, Mike G... I LOVE to mix my burpees with a DB clean and whatever. Got a fun idea for you: try a Turkish Get Down. Put together a burpee, a clean and press, and a Turkish Get Up. Oh, the delicious agony you can build up in almost no time. And, it confuses the heck out of everyone else at the gym, which I confess, gives me a giggle.

#15, Gundy, my USAF PT scores went from top in my age group to top period. Situps are restful for me. Pushups went faster and way easier too. Keep it up, you'll see on your next PT test. Of course, the USAF PT test is a total joke and I should probably shut up now.

Have a Happy Air Force Day and Semper CrossFit-
-Spider Chick

Awfully humbling to post this behind #78 Robert. Great work!

Allow me to tell a little story:
Sep 1, 37 y.o., high BP/Pulse/Cholesterol, BW 168. 2nd CrossFit WOD ever - Cindy. 11 rounds with a gravitron set at 50% BW, couldn't straighten my arms for a week. 2 intervening Cindys, 16 & 18 rounds, both using a flex band for the pull ups.
Today, 37 y.o., clean bill of health, BW 154.
Cindy as RX'ed (finally!) - 17 rounds.
Am I happy? OH YEAH!

143lbs/30yoa

CFWU x 3 modified

"Cindy" as Rx'd

20 total rounds, + 5 pullups, 10 push-ups and 4 squats.

I shaved a minute and a half off my 1.5 mile run time in less than two months after doing CF.

I've already maxed out the AF PT test, but now my goal is to get in the "20/100 club"--get a score of 100 according to 20 y/o standards. It's not that much harder!

Still marking my 70th birthday, Cindy 20 rounds; did 25 rounds last year, will have to get to work to do better next year. Hearty congratulations to those who did 28-30 rounds, that is absolutely awesome. Crossfit is certainly working for you athletes.

Happy b-day Adam #89 !!!
I hope to be in as great of shape in 30 years.

Man oh man I'm excited for "cindy". The last cindy was my very first WoD, and I managed 10 rounds and 1 pullup, but I was extremely gassed and dead after only 3 rounds. I've missed a few workouts because of holiday illness and a Fiesta Bowl trip (Boise State baby!) but the workouts have deffinatly made me stronger and better conditioned, so this should be a great indicator of progress. I'm a week behind in the workouts however so I will post results then. I've been looking forward to this the moment ever since I wrote down that first score. :)

6 rounds + 5 HSPUs

messed up and did 10 SL squats on each leg instead of alternating for 10 total.

Wow, my bud and I are slackers. 8 rounds and whipped.

I did a "Mandy" - 5 HSPU, 10 PU, 15 air squats. Scratched and clawed and jumped and whatever for more than half of the pu, but you have to start somewhere. I'm looking to do Helen again tomorrow ... I'm liking being in the 'can't get enough stage.'

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Did not workout in past 11 days due to illness, and still not 100%. I felt it, struggled, and could only complete 11 rounds of Cindy in 17 minutes. Couldn't go any further. Now just looking to get back in the groove and get healthy again.

23 rounds +5 pull-ups (PR)

After doing cleans last night it raised some questions. I never really did cleans until starting Crossfit, so this may just be due to poor form.
When doing light weight and when warming up, I try to do more of a squat clean. But last night, when getting to my heavier weights, I did not have to drop that much to catch the bar. (This is not the case with Hang Cleans, when I really have to drop to catch the bar.)
Should there be any pull up at the top before the catch, or should I emphasize dropping under the bar to catch it? I don't think I was using my arms much because they aren't sore at all, but my legs are. Any recommended exercises to ensure proper form? Thanks.

Well after NOT working out in 7 months due to illness, not thrilled with the outcome, however still on a mission. I only did 6 rounds and my pull-ups if you want to call them that I jumped and pulled and cried...I definitely lost my upper body strength, hopefully my muscles dont have alzheimers....and will remember the good ole days!

Thought I would try MARY
all assisted
only managed 6 rounds.

18 full Cindys plus 7 push ups, a few rounds less than last time I dated her. Quite unsatisfied with this today as I wanted to set a 'Cindy Standard' for myself for 2007 and then go back to Mary. The Tabata push ups I did yesterday really slowed my performance of said exercise today because my chins and squats were solid. I used to have to fraction my squats in the higher rounds but now I just bomb through them whereas the push ups are fractioned still.

On a happier note, I practiced pistols after and did my first real one with my foot flat on the floor and my butt touching my calf.

Me 40yo/M/195#/5'10"

Cindy
14 rounds even / I had about 10 seconds left so I just looked at the bar and laughed (used jumping pullups after about the first 5 rounds)

I learned something while is was training with Cindy that others may find helpful. I was holding my breath on the way up on my pullups. When I focused on breathing through the entire rep my splits actually got faster. I hope that this helps someone else. Next Cindy I would like to complete 18 rounds.

Inspired by the big numbers here on the comments page, I reached a new high of 15 rounds of Cindy. (Only 11 last time) Needed an assist on the pullups starting in round 10 or so... Thanks Kevin!

So blinded by motivation, we both kept going after 20 minutes! 40 pounds from now maybe I'll be a contender.....

Had to wait in line for the pullup bar a little, but we're all smoked! Great WOD!

FYI, for those who read the articles about the Canadian military's evaluation of CrossFit, you probably saw the 9-week series of WOD's that Coach put together for them. We're going to start that next week after taking a PFT, etc, to get a baseline on our fitness levels. We'll let you know how it goes!

We've been doing CrossFit for just a couple months now, but we're seeing great results. It looks like the USMC is going to make sweeping changes in our PT program, centered around a CrossFit-style "Functional Fitness" regimen. Unfortunately, there's not a single gym on Okinawa that's got Olympic-style weights, kettlebells, rings, or many of the other apparatus that we need. But with a few ammo cans filled with sand, and some ingenuity, we're making do!

I used 55# on the squats. Didn't know I was not supposed to use weight. OOPS. No wonder I'm so damned sore!

Great workout though. I'll be doing more WODs for sure.

Tim:

8 rounds of Mary, unassisted HSPUs for first 5 rounds (this is new for me).

If I'd hurried up a little bit instead of slacking through it, I think I could get 9-10 rounds. Will have to keep this in mind next time as a goal.

Still pleased with the progress.

bridges, OPT, mrjing -- you guys are animals. I would be seriously concerned about my meniscus if I did pistols fast enough to compare with those times. Probably you're all a lot more explosive than I am when it comes to HSPUs. I really need to work on that.

In any event, much respect to anyone doing >10rds with Mary. It always looks much easier on paper :-)

cindy - 17 rnds
my best so far

First Mary ever

And I influenced someone to not use that stupid Blue Manta Ray, for squats.

Anyways,was going for 7 rounds... with assisted Handstand push ups (put my feet up on the smith machine bar, the only use I have for it.)

Finished 8!...(had to wait for pull-up bar a lot... hurt time a bit)
Found that my Handstand pushups were too easy (at the start) so I put the bar up gradually through the cycles and the bar ended up on the top rung, with a pretty wicked balancing act needed.

I also found out that I can do One-legged squats without support. Right-leg is pretty good and is a little below parallel. Still working on the left leg, can get to parallel but gets a little shaky underneath.

Thank you, CapitalCrossfit for taking me out of my comfort zone, by doing Mary.

All pull-ups kipped except for 6th round where they were "almost" dead chin-ups
(first 5 rounds palms forward, next 3 were palms back (palm back is still stronger than palms forward, even though I practice the latter everyday...))

I'm in my first year at the Naval Academy...I'll graduate in 2010 and I want to go USMC - so why not start getting in crossfit shape now?

I did jump pull-ups...and just regular air squats

Awesome workout. It's fun being one of the few girls in the weight room with sweat pouring down your face and your breathing all rough b/c you're working hard..."born again hard" as coach used to say.
OORAH.

#290 (Ross) - First welcome to CrossFit, you are going to love it. The squats for Cindy are air squats (unweighted)...beleive me by the end you are thankful for it. For me I always do my squats as deep as I can to get the widest range of motion, however, especially being new to the program, do what you are comfortable with to learn the motion and prevent injury. Anyone else's opinion on this?

Cindy, 19 rounds.

Not quite my best effort, but close. I need to be able to pace myself better: I have 10 rounds in the first 8 minutes.

"Mary" for the first time.
Feet hooked over Smith bar, one rung higher than before. Pistol-like things with broom stick for balance. Did jumping PU in order to get met-con benefit, but 15 or ANY kind of PU is still a muscle endurance effort for me.

9 rounds + 5 + 10 + 1 (finished out PU for total of 10 rounds of work.)

Think I'll add pistols and start to practice HSPU against wall as part of my WU.

Cindy as Rx'd: 23 Rounds at 19:55

Currently in my 6th week of Crossfit. My first CF workout was Cindy on 15 December...got 20 rounds then.

As a jujitsu guy, climber and soldier..I started in prety good shape.

Cindy:

16 rounds as rx'd.
Alternated b/w 4 pull-up grips (ie.. 1. palms-away; mid grip, 2. palms facing, 3. palms-away; wide grip, and 4. palms-away close grip.)

This was one of the more odd workouts for me. My muscles were never fatigued or burning, but I was sucking wind like I just ran a 10K when I was finished.

Everyone did Cindy today...

Maddox: 29, 150#, 12 rounds + 1 pull
Felman: 40, 190#, 16 rounds (assisted Pulls near the end)
Johnson: 19, 235# 16 rounds
Ford: 24, 225#, 15 + 5 pulls
DiPentino: 39, 175# 18 rounds
Benjamin: 35, 245#, 12 rounds + 5 pulls & 10 Pushes

Feldman and Benjamin are first timers to WoD!

28 yrs.
190 lbs.

Cindy. x 19 (plus 5 pulls).

1 round more than my last time.

Peak HR 174-180 range.

19 rounds even

mary - 8 rounds

Previous: cindy - 18 rounds.
Previous: cindy - 21 rounds + 5 PU

First workout with CrossFit. This was a butt kicker! Did 6 sets of Cindy with 50 pounds on the squats (which I later found out I should not have done!!!)

20 rounds of Cindy (-5 off PR).

Ring pullups with chest-to-deck pushups. This is five rounds under pre-AC tear record. I've a ways to go in rehab still, it seems. Pullups were, surprisingly, a breeze. Pushups were another story entirely.

-D.

Cindi as rx'd - 15 rounds + 5 pullups.

Notes: performed 1/22/07. Pullups and pushups broken in later rounds. 1 round off PR.

21 of Cindy

mod cfwux3

Cindy as rx'd
15 rds even
(1 rd off of pr)

(done 1/21/07)
Cindy: 12 rds.....HR avg 170 max 182. All p/u's kipping. All sets unbroken with rest between rds. Not my best Cindy ever, but I think it's the highest avg. HR I've been able to maintain.

Cindy - 19 rounds PR!

18 rds of Cindy (1 better than previous PR)

20 rds cindy 19:31

and 1rd for the airborne ranger in the sky.

14+5 rounds. Was shooting for 15. Down just a few reps from last time. Overall, satisfied with the effort.

Cindy:

14 Rounds + 5 pull-ups + 1 push-up (PR)

I used the blue light band to assist with pull-ups.
Push-ups on knees.

This is a PR for me because I did better than my last 2 Cindy's using less assist on the pull-ups.

cindy

11 rounds + 5 pull ups and 10 push ups

I am stronger, more explosive, and feel way more conditioned after doing Crossfit for only a month.

Thank you Coach and all the staff for your great help in getting me in shape. I hope to meet all of you somtime!

Keep going strong Crossfit Nation!

Rounds 7-11 had to do a mix of standard, kipping, and slow negs.
For the push-ups... Is it ok to use different hand positions?

m/ 30/ 6-2/ 245

14 rounds doing strict pull-ups to failure and then jumping pull-ups.

Last time out was 12 rounds with kipping pull-ups, but kipping rips my hands apart so I stopped.

Oops, I forgot I did Cindy.

Push-ups killed me. Everything else was fine. My left shoulder's not right.

18 rounds... a little frustrated with 1 round of improvement
