Oooh, another throw back WOD that I've yet to tackle! Bring it on!

Anyone have recommendations as to which substitution is better for the muscle-ups?

One minute each of pullups and dips per 1 muscleup

or

4 of each pullups and dips per 1 muscleup

God I wish my gym had rings.

Haggs, definitely go with 1 minute each of pullups and dips per 1 muscle up.

Jeff needs some serious work on his power cleans. Those were reverse curls. Good time but too bad he didn't do the exercise properly. And how come we're still not seeing full range of motion on those muscle ups?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The name for this WOD is bang on. This is gonna be one nasty girl. Johnny, that sub for the MU's is gonna be hell but I think the sign on the wall in the video best describes crossfit......NO WHINING!!!

Awesome video...great fight till the end by both.

Last week I took a much needed rest week. This is going to be a painful return to CF.

Nice video. I like the no whining sign on the board. :) I really want to do a scaled version of this tomorrow.

Is this workout for strength or muscle cutness

very nasty.

roc, if it is too much, then do not do it. Nobody is trying to punish you. But I think 7 minutes of pullups and 7 minutes of dips per 7 muscle ups is a good idea if you are serious about fitness. That comes out to a total of 42 minutes of pullups and dips which really is not a lot if you think about it.

I have rings, I was just implying for those that don't. It doesn't feel quite as hard as a minute of constant pullups every time I do a muscle up :D granted my sub used to be 4-5 of each until I switched gyms same page possibly, just a different theory.

Why does the FAQ say that you can do 3 or 4 dips and pullups to sub. I can do many more than that in a minute.

Ignore the trolls. Use 3 or 4 pull-ups and dips per muscle-up.

For those of you keeping track at home, we should also be comparing this to our efforts from 061001...I knew I had done it, and I haven't been CFing since 05. Thank god I have rings now!

I think that perhaps an alternate (I am by no means qualified to call it better or even the same) sub for muscle ups would be weighted pullups and dips. I can do about 15 ring dips unweighted and about 15 dips on regular bars with about 35lbs. Pullups are a bit different, but seeing as the demands inherent in a muscle up are strenght oriented (rather than strength endurance oriented as a minute of constant dipping and pulling would seem to be). Maybe another sub for muscle up could be something like 1 pullup and 3 dips with 15-20% bodyweight added. So in this WOD, each set of muscle ups would have a 180 pounder like myself doing 7 pullups and 21 dips with about an extra 35 pounds or so. Just an idea, forgive me if I am off base. Best to all Crossfitters

Thanks Sarah!

Kate

I can't even describe how pumped I am to finally try this one. I have the "nasty girls" video saved on my computer under the name "motivation!"

Awesome!

Cornish,

you don't happen to go to the Naval Academy do you?

What do you all plan on doing if you need to lower some of the intensity because it's my first day tomorrow with CF. ANy ideas on what I should do? I am in decent shape. 6'2'' 180.

honestly Rob, I'd say attack it as hard as you can without scaling it all too much if you are in decent shape. Once you get it through your head quitting is not an option and you just need to get it done no matter the time, It gets easier your first few weeks.

I can do 40 pull-ups in a minute and I have no idea how many dips. 1 MUSCLE-UP is cake compared to that. Don't give people a hard time when they question such an obviously ridiculous substitution, Jason.

4 each seems about right to me, for what it's worth.

Ted,

can you really do 40! pullups in 1 minute? How? When did you start cross fit? how many pullups were you doing when you started?

This is absolutely my favourite crossfit workout.

The first time I watched the 'Nasty Girls' video I thought I would never be able to complete it.. ever. Its a testamnet to the crossfit system that now I can not only complete it but actively push for better times.

From the FAQ:
3.5. Substitute for muscle-up?
Pullups and dips. Some have suggested 1 min of both somewhat equates to one muscle-up. Most common substitution is 3 pullups +3 dips, or 4 pullups +4 dips.

Everybody got it right, have a Coke and smile.

IMHO, automatically adding 42 minutes to a "for time" workout is not constructive. If you're physically capable of doing a mu, it only takes several seconds, not 2 minutes. Also, what would 3 rounds of 7x 1 minute of pu's + 1 minute of dips look like? Either lots of standing around trying to survive (personally I might be able to work a full minute of pu's/dips the first time around, but not on the 7th round, and definitely not the 21st), or 100's of each by the time you're through. I don't think that's the point of this workout.

In my humble opinion, 42 minutes of dips and pullups is a reasonable sub for 21 muscleups. I do not see what the fuss and name calling is about.

So far as "for time" being a determining factor in the substitution, we only do muscle ups in "for time" workouts. Hence, "for time" should not be a factor when determining whether to use a tough sub or an easy sub.

I think it comes down to how badly you want it. If you do not want it that bad, then do 3 dips/pullups per muscle up. If you want it bad, do a minute of each.

just my 2 cents.

Done this workout twice and have always subbed 4 pullups and 4 dips per muscle up. And during the workouts that call for 30 muscle ups I've done 120 dips and 120 pullups, but never no way done one minute of each per muscle up. Don't know where that sub came from. Can't wait for tommorow's WOD.

Pat and Jeff T, awesome video.

Get some, guys!

Hope to run into yall again sometime soon.

I don't know a single person - although there must be someone on the planet - who can do 42 minutes of continuous pull-ups and dips. Muscle-ups are NOT THAT hard. 1 minute of pull-ups - forget the dips - has got to be 10 times harder than a muscle up. Intense training is great... overtraining is a killer. Pull-ups are not an endurance exercise. To attempt 21 minutes ON THE BAR (which seems to be what you're suggesting) - except for the most exceptional of gymnasts - would require an excessive amount of recovery time, and though it might be a testament to mental toughness, it would not benefit the body. For those wanting to build up the body instead of merely break it down, I wouldn't suggest it. Cross-fit, thanks for providing a great workout!

That being said, if ANYONE can pull off this stunt (Susan esp.), I would be mucho impressed and would like to see a video of it posted. Any professional rock climbers out there?

If we are subbing pull ups and dips for the muscle ups, should the pull ups be done with a false grip? I only have a bar to work with, so I don't really know what the advantages or disadvantages of doing pull ups with a false grip on a bar compared to rings would be. Any insight would be helpful, thanks!

Doesn't it mean "1 min(imum)" not "1 min(ute)"?

Mat, don't worry too much about the false grip until you get on some rings. When you do, work a few false pullups and gradually build up your numbers or you might end up with a wicked case of tendonitis like yours truly.

Rob (Comment #18),
a good place to find scaling on the WOD is the BrandX site. In their forum you'll find the WOD scaled back.

Crossfit has taken many a "decent shape" individual and made them reevaluate their level of fitness. It is OK to scale things back esspecially when it's your first time.

I also believe that 4pullups/ dips is an appropriate sub for a muscle-up. Especially if you aren't a good kipper.

Oh, man. Didn't this one make Nicole cry?

I wholeheartedly agree that a minute of pullups/dips is madness as a sub. Muscle-ups are hard, but not in that way. 3/3, 4/4, 3/1 ring dip, or perhaps the weighted pullups/dip suggestion are all much more reasonable.

Foul!

Jeff did not do a single full range air squat.

The other things could be forgiven under stress... but one can ALWAYS manage to stand ALL the way up when squatting.

Josh, I was going to post the same comments. Jeff moved fast but took a lot of short cuts. Squats were not full range, muscle ups were not full range, power cleans were cheat curls. Pretty saggy workout but he moved fast. He just has to clean things up a bit.

BTW, one minute of pullups one minute of dips seems about right for a muscle up. It seems that the same people are doing the 4 rep sub and they never seem to move on to a muscle up. You have to decide whether you want to be able to do a muscle up and use that to determine which sub to use.

Don't like to see so many people taking short cuts today. Buck up for the suds and put some effort into your workout. You won't be sorry.

I agree regarding Jeff's form. There were definitely short cuts on the muscle ups. Second set (and 3rd) when he jumped off at the top of each MU and went straight into the next MU is a straight out shortcut. If you have to jump off the rings and rest, no problem, but if you can go straight into the next rep you should stay on the rings.

I think if he fixed the form issues he would still have posted a killer time, with no complaints from anyone.

My take on the sub...I feel like if you can do one full range pull up and one full range dip you can do a muscle up...

That is a kipping muscle up, which is what you would be doing for time (I'd think). That being said...if you know how to kip with power, you barely need to be able to do a full pull up or dip...but you have to be good at kipping.

3 or 4 sounds good to me...a minute sounds a lot like a waste of time...sorry.

#35 One full range PU & Dip doesn't cover the transition in a MU which can often be the hardest bit especially if you get stuck there for several seconds.

Agreed though 3 or 4 is right. One minute is ridicolous

Aaron agreed for a strict MU...for an MU with a kip I'd argue...

caveat: I doubt anyone who is in the shape of doing one PU and one dip would also be in the shape to get the kind of power in a kip that ie Greg Everett gets in that video.

in closing: I guess you're right... ; )

Got tortured by a colleague instead. 5 rounds of 100m & Turkish get-ups. May try this WOD tomorrow.

I see a lot of talk and a lot of name calling, but no posted times. Perhaps Crossfit has become another blog spot. That's too bad!

CFWUx3 (- pus and dips, except for the first one to warm up those muscles a little)

about 30 minutes (don't have a stop watch, so set the bezel on my wrist watch)

Subbed 7 sets of 4pus/4dips (dips right after pull ups) for the MU's

Need to work on wrist flexibility or something, can't get my elbows parallel with the floor for the cleans

All in all a fun workout though!

Well, no killer results for this newbie - and I wish my form had been anywhere near as good as the guys in the vid! But after posting less embaressing times on the 4x 400m, I guess I was due for a beating!

Squats as rx'd. Those I can do.

Since my rings aren't ready yet I subbed 21 PUs + 21 dips for the powerups. Couldn't kip either - my hands hurt too much. Ended up jumping a bit to complete my sets. Pretty suspect dips toward the end, too!

Had the devil's own time on the HPS's. After the first round I lowered the weight to 120# and scratched and clawed my way through.

Didn't bother to time that one - but it felt like I was taking about a year off my life!

23 min. including queing to rack, bar and puke bucket.

Subbed MU with dips to armpits & pulls to nipples x 2
Subbed hang cleans with ordinary cleans.

Phew!!! Tough one ...

Working out at the park today, so didn't have a bar. Did burpees instead.
Muscle ups were from the ground and had a little bit of a hop.

Squats were legit though!

Regarding the m/u substitition discussion:

"Pullups and dips. Some have suggested 1 min of both somewhat equates to one muscle-up. Most common substitution is 3 pullups +3 dips, or 4 pullups +4 dips."

Quoted from the FAQ section. Folks, just do whatever it is you want with whatever substitution you need and post results. Good place for this discussion is the message board, not the blog. Have a good workout!

Coach, Nicole, and all the CF Trainers from the CrossFit NC seminar,

Thank you for a great weekend. I continue to be amazed by the results of CrossFit and your faithful dedication to promoting true fitness. Your presentations were superb -- so much more than what the Internet could give. Seeing you all in person, watching the fantastic demonstrations, getting the one-on-one coaching, and participating in the workouts is life changing.

I recommend that everyone strive to spend some time at HQ or at least attend a seminar to fine tune your skills and soak up every bit of information possible. There is always something new to be learned or a way to better our performance. With their tremendous work ethic and knowledge base, the CrossFit trainers and Coach G, specifically, consistently present fresh new ideas and continue to make a significant difference in the fitness world. I'm hooked! Thanks, again.

Keep up the good work,
Lisa (Eric2's wife)

Hey everyone, I have 2 general questions:

1- I am training for my first triathlon in August and would like any feedback on training schedules and how to include it in the WOD.

2 - Is working out 3days with 1 day rest better for you over 5days with 2 days rest?

feel free to email me at coop_10@hotmail.com

Thanks Everyone this site is amazing, I've learned so much!

DAMN IT!!! It's bad enough that I had to get my ass kicked by Jeff T, now the whole CF community gets to enjoy it! lol.

Jeff, great work bro! When you pulled away from me the first time, I knew I was in trouble. Those f-ing cleans humbled me.

Hit me up bro if you come down to the beach this summer. The garage is always open.

Thanks again to CFNC for letting us use their space.

Pullups/dips took the longest time, but I continue to feel improvement as Xfit year #2 continues. Changes in nutrition have led to the biggest gains so far .

folk I wouldn't arm chair Jeff too much. He and Pat are studs. The spent a great deal of time working on 155 lbs. Pull-ups before this video was shot. The muscle ups range was shortened because the height the rings were set at not his fault. Trust me he is bad asssssss.

Pat no shame in your game dude. 8:12 would crush most folks you were just paired up with a freak. :-)

As a side note, anybody who lives in Texas should come to College Station and check out the Texas A&M SEAL Platoon Commando Endurance Skills Competition this Saturday.

Some of us "old" guys put a team together and we plan on giving those young bucks a run for the money. Anybody interested email me @ knightsedge1@yahoo.com.

16:25 using 85# for HPCs and 21 pullups/21 dips for the 7 MUs.

2nd full week of X-fit...

The Nasty Girls video was the first X-fit video I saw and what caused me to look further into it.

Nowhere near able to do a muscle up yet...will probably stick to 1 pull-up/1 dip per muscle-up so I can finish before the gym closes for the night.

1 minute of each for each m/u is insane.

Thanks for everything Coach

Quick question. When workouts such as this one and Cindy call for "Squats", are those just body weight squats or are they back squats with a certain amount of weight? Thanks.

If you are going to sub 3 x PU and 3 x dips for MU, do you do the 3 x PU and then 3 x dips for seven rounds to count as 1 round of MU or do you do 21 x PU and then 21 x dips to count as 1 round of MU.

CrossFit is constantly Varied Functional exercise performed with Intensity.

spending 14 minutes per round with pull-ups and dips is not recomended for a workout which is designed to be a metabolic challenge similar to a Diane or Fran. Though you may increase he volume of work you will lose the INTENSITY

#2 do 28/28 each round as fast as you can.

Nicole: 14:29 sub'd 70lb HPC and 21pullups/21ring dips
Jeremy: 8:31 as rx'd

Wow. Lots of theorizing here, hardly any times.

Anyway, so I watched the video and slept in late. Oh boy. A 6 minute workout. This will be cake. I can read the paper front to back, play with the dog, maybe watch some morning TV, do the workout and make it to work in time. 6 minutes! Even if I'm "slow", I'll still be done in 8 minutes. Yippee!

So, once I started the squats, did the 50. One minute down. One a second. How can this be? Times three, the air squats will gobble up half my workout time!

No rings at 24 hr fitness, so I did 21 dips, 21 pullups. I'm on fire!

And then the 135 hang power clean ten times. Well, about 4 times. Then 3. Then 2. Then... I think I need some water. Ok, then 2 more. Time? 9 minutes.

Crap.

Two more times of this?

Ok, blow through air squats. As Rxed. Nice.
21 dips. Broken sets. Yikes.
21 pullups. Kipping even. But why can't I do more than 4 at a time now? Hang Power Cleans? Let's go. I got a good song pumping on the Ipod (not Andrew WK, but something like it). 3. 2. OW. How did my left shoulder's old rotator cuff injury come back? Did I do the negative too quickly? 2. 2. 1. Time? 20 minutes. Damn.

Did the last set as fast as possible. Still, I needed to break everything up. Squats? 3 sets. Dips? Why am I rocking with no body control? 3 sets. Pull ups? Sets of 3, 2. Oh man. I'm going to be sooooo late to work. What happened to doing all these in six minutes? Ok next. HPC? Ah. It doesn't hurt when I "rack the bar" with my elbows out. Only on the way down. 3. 2. 4. Must... finish .. before... 30 min.. ONE. Ok done.

29:58.

#19 Rob,
Sorry man, I'm not in the Naval Academy. I do all of these workouts with some friends in Chicago at the local "cookie cutter" health club just outside of the city. I think it actually makes the personal trainers there mad to see us work so much harder than their clients...

15:26

Lots of rest between MU's out of fear of burning out.

7:53 - squats to Dynamax ball with full hip extension, ring MUs inside power rack and 95# HPCs.

First round of MUs unbroken with complete arm extension at the bottom for each rep. Allowed a slightly bent arm on the next two sets to help keep the tops my feet off the carpet (due to the 8' ceiling, the tops of my feet drag on the carpet when beginning a muscleup from full extension. The tops of my feet are now covered with nasty rug burns. I'll remember to wear socks the next time). Briefly broke the second and third MU sets once each at the 5/2 marks. Second and third set of HPCs broken briefly once each at the 6/4 marks.

HPCs were the most painful for me; forearms feeling taxed.

First attempt at a WOD that incorporates a powerlifting exercise, so going light and focusing on form. Couldn't really do over 55# without totally losing it. Pathetic but you gotta start somewhere! I think I'll start incorporating the HPC into my warmup.

I think if I hadn't watched that kickass video before hitting the gym, my time would have been about 10 minutes longer! Great motivation. Thanks guys.

I think all of you guys harping on Jeff are maybe a little envious of his time. He did full extension squats and his arms extended fully on all the muscle ups. His cleans if you watch closely he shrugs with each one. Maybe some congrats on a great time is more in line than all the negative banter.

Sub 4 pu/4 dips for mu. (no rings)

otherwise as rx'd

23:26... flew late last night. Better next time.

Subbed 95# for HPC
1st round MUs, 2nd round 2 MUs rest Jumping MUs
Last round all MUs jumped.

1pull-up/1 dip for mu's
10 mins

did muscle ups for the first time in 20 years.

15:30

Not to beat a dead horse with the muscle ups but I plan on doing the 4 dips/pullups because I can only do about 1 muscle up every 3 minutes so ....my question is should I alternate 4 pullups then 4 dips. 7 times or should I do 28 in a row????

25:39 4-pullups/4-dips for 1 muscle up..... workout lowered self-esteem significantly.

CFWx 2
15:07 Subbed 10 jumping muscle-ups (bottoms of rings at distal 1/3 of forearms while standing flatfooted), otherwise rx'd. Now I gotta work on kipping w/ the rings, and as always, the transition.

Sub'd 115lb for hang power cleans, the remainder as prescribed.
10::20

hey if you are doing 4 pu and 4 dips per one muscle up. Does that mean you do 28 pullups and 28 dips in one round. which means you do a total of 28x3 pullups and 28x3 dips because there are 3 rounds?

Like you do 50 squats, then (4 pullups, 4 dips)x7, then Hang Power Cleans. THAT would be one set and you do 3 sets? is that right?

Working with my hands tomorrow so will get this after work. Did at lunch, to keep the blood flowing, row version of 400M WOD:

Total 12:02 (a little generous on the rests!)

3/3 pullups/dips subbed for each muscle up.

A frustrating 35 minutes for this effort. Felt like I spent way too much time waiting on pullup stations.

Terrible time with this. Took the weekend off to rest my back and enjoy the drinking holiday.

when you say 3/3 pullup/dip sub. Does that mean you do (50 squats, (3 pullups, 3 dips)x7, then hang power cleans) all of that x3. so you are doing a total of 21 pullups and 21 dips per set times 3 which is 63 pullups and 63 dips total after 3 sets?

Rob- Yes, 28 PU's and Dips per rd.

Jeff & Rob.... That was sick. Nice work!

Slow morning at Skyvision...

Had some fun going back to 2004 comments section for this WOD. I started CF 1/1/06 so this was well before my start date. Kinda fun to see who's still here, who's gone or visits rarely, and what kind of discussion takes place.

Lots of regulars present then and now including gaucoin, providing color commentary and encouragement.

Lots of very common names then only rarely cited here in the comments like Jesse Woody, Ahmik, and David Wood. Some very frequent commenters of yore are now owner/operators of affiliates and this probably explains some abscences. One wonders if others still CF somewhere.

I won't name some of the CF'ers I note who are not here now since I know that some of them have been lost to us forever.

No one had yet met Kelly Moore! Kelly's score in 2004 was impressive; did you see it today?! Oh, man...

People asked the same questions about subs and received the same answers. Newbies didn't start at Lynne's FAQ's then, either!

Matt G. had a snarky comment about those questions. I chuckled, and realized that it's a little more fun when we get to aim for his numbers and when he brings "the snark"!

And I compared a couple of scores from then to now. You know, say what you will about any aspect of this community, Rest Day, who's in and who's out, but this stuff really, really works. The bottom line is that CF delivers exactly what it promises. How many other things in life can we say THAT about? Can't wait to do "Nasty Girls" tomorrow.

And, oh yeah, given the very nice story about him in 2004, this would be a great day to hear from Dan Silver, eh? Of course, ANY Matt G. sighting is a good thing...

18:43

#127 - Thanks! While there is plenty of room for improvement, I was pleasantly surprised at my time this morning. Consistantly showing up and doing the WOD works.

I'm competing in the National kettlebell GS competition this May so I will likely not do many of the WODs the next several weeks. I can't recover from Crossfit on top of GS training and keeping my hands in good condition is paramount.

The first time out
- - - - - - - - - -

I've done bits and bobs of crossfit before but this was my first proper go at the workout, my instructor gave an adaption of WoD.

26 yom 6'1 210lbs

3 Rounds :-
30 Squats
7 Pullups
10 Power Clean (60KG including bar)

9:43, i was knacked but I did it all unassisted and although it's not the best time ever I'm pretty happy :)

12:51
Squats unbroken
MU 4/3, 4/1/2, 2/2/1- 10PU/10Dip (no MU left, wasted about 1 min :30 trying)
HPC 10,10,5/5

15:57 modified as follows: 7/7 weighted pullups and dips w/ 35#, pullups strict, dips done starting w/ feet on floor at roman chair, hands on dip handles so dip was as deep and muscleupish as possible; 115# for the squat cleans. Great WOD, one of these days I'd love to do this one as rx'ed but when I saw the gagging and gasping on the video I knew no as rx'ed today. BW:170, Y/A:58 Thanks Coach!

First time doing this set. It killed me. I used only 75lbs for the hang clean and I did 7 pull ups and then 7 dips because my gym has no rings. I got through it twice without a problem, then the third set got ugly. Finishing at 19 minutes.. uck.

WOD as RX'd: 17:42

~23:30

3 rounds:
50 squats
21 pullups / 21 dips
135lb HPC, 10 reps

Impressive showing on the video Pat and Jeff--good motivation

First "Nasty Girl"

-Need more depth on my squats but did all reps
-Did 1 pull-up, 1 dip for each muscle up--did a few jumping pull-ups in last round.
-did first 5 HPCs with 135 but had to drop to 115 for the rest. Did all reps

15:45 It hurt me pretty good. just about the right intensity/pace for current fitness level.

Thanks Coach for the WODs, vids, journal, etc

would jumping muscle ups be a good sub?

#133 - nice work, John!

This was my first attempt at a Crossfit workout. I don't have access to rings for the MU'S so I substituted the 3 pullups/3 dips per one muscle-up. I did 135# for cleans. My pullups were a little suspect. I was doing anything to get up there and not touch the ground! I blazed through the first set of squats. The second and third sets were a bit broken, but I managed to bust them out! I've learned from checking out the site and listening to people that these workouts take a certain mental mindset. You gotta power through the pain and fear!! My time was 10:30. It felt great! I'm glad I found crossfit!

Great video! I'd love to work out in a gym like that...

Kelly is an inspiration as always.
Good effort Hale!

Off to the gym.

Was messing around w/ the rings about 2 hrs after the WOD, and I did 2 MU's back to back, for the first time ever! It's starting to come together! After watching the video of those two mutants, 2 MU's really isn't anything, but I feel like I did when my kids were born! Can't wait to get some video and send to the HQ! Thanks Coach!

I joined 8/1/2004 the day I first saw the CF
web site...still lurking here daily, I just fell
behind on the WOD and gave up trying to post,
I really haven't done anything different exercise
wise since starting CF, just modifying as required
to allow recovery and work around some
hamstring/ groin injuries.

The changes on the comment board and the evolution
of this website have been interesting as well as the
slight tweaks in the WODs.

Tim: 10:03 as rx'ed

CrossFit Nation-

Signed up to do my first Triathlon(mini- 500yd swim, 12 mile bike and 5K run)in July. Any advice on how to incorporate the training needed and the WOD's?

thanks

13:45 as rx'd

first time doing mu's in about 2 months...had a ring malfunction so couldn't practice...most i had ever gotten in a row up to that point was 3...rings are fully functional again...today banged out the first 7 unbroken...second 7 was 4,2,1...third was 2,2,1,1,1 and took up a solid 3-4 minutes...if you told me i would've been able to do all 21 before the beginning of the workout i would've looked at you as though you had just told me to do 42 minutes of pullups and dips...once again, very happy with the consistent progress i am seeing from CF

24:21

At work (FF), so I scaled down to save some effort for my bros' in case we get the "big one."

pullups and dips for MU; scaled 2:1. 105# hang power cleans. I'm stationed at 10,000 ft. above sea level, so gasping for O2 in between sets was exciting.

Sub'd 3x3 for the muscle ups. My forearms were fried by the time I hit the cleans and had to drop the weight to 115.

Finished in 28 min, but spent alot of time running between pullups and the dip station and waiting for the bystanders staring at the dip station.

Definitely Nasty!

Also, allergy season has officially begun. I sneezed and coughed and runny nosed my way through this one.

Instead of muscle ups 10 ring push ups & 7 ring pull ups, everything else as prescribed. Time - 9:55 - this was super fun.

I don't know if this has been asked, but how do you approach this workout if you can do a couple of good MU's but that takes all your energy, should you then go to the 4/4 to 1 ratio for the remaining MU's or is it better to just skip the MU's altogether and do the sub. I would do jumping MU's but since I have to hang the rings at the gym in the squat rack it is impossible. Any advice would help?

Aw yeah. So psyched about this one! Will need to sub kipping PU's & dips for muscle ups, but I am looking forward to it!

If FAQ's say 3 to 4 pull-ups & dips as subs... I would go with the FAQ's. Why go against Coach's advice?!

#169 Mike in the Ro - Do as many MU's as you can then sub in PU's & Dips for the remaining. Try the same on each round (first MU, then sub).

for the MU dip, should you do 4 pu/4 dips - 7 rounds, or 28 pu and THEN 28 dips?

Biked 1.5 miles in 5 minutes on a stationary bike prior to WOD.

Time 16 minutes (27 year old, 5'10'', 180 lbs).

Did muscleups on a pull up bar while hanging. Also, half way through got the hang clean down better with 135lbs, but did 5 at a time rather than 10 in a row. After viewing the hang clean exercise video prior to workout, I was under the impression that I had to clean it and then drop all the way down into a front squat. After watching the Nasty Girl Video, I think my time could have been faster if I just did the hang clean without dropping all the way down. It would have been easier. In any case, that was a good workout and definitely got the heart rate up. I followed the workout with some abs and the rest of my normal leg routine to include one arm raised kettle bell lunges. I'm really starting to enjoy Crossfit and incorporate it more and more into my daily workouts.

Did "Elizabeth" yesterday for Rest Day so my heart sank a little when I saw today's WOD. Oh well, train to your weakness and the unexpected right?

My clean is not as strong nor as true to form as I'd like it to be (evidenced at 135# yesterday for Elizabeth). So I subbed the following today:

There's swim WOD's on the message board under Fitness. CF doesn't feature any bike work so do some bike rides of at least your race distance and practice some short runs after getting off the bike.

Second WOD, but been watching your site for a while now. Really impressed. One question though, any concerns over long term effects of compressive forces on the spinal discs? I've got a little history with the issue, and would appreciate perspectives.

I have a question, I am a bigger guy, I weigh about 255 and I just watched the two nasty guys complete todays workout. They clearly are stronger than I am for their weights but I'm curious as to whether I should add weight to the clean. I struggle on the Muscle ups (can only do 2 at a time) but I breeze through the hang cleans like its a rest period. Should I add weight?

Craig

I don't have this problem, but I know some people add weight to the DLs when doing Dianne.

"Nasty Girls" - modified
50 squats
7 bar muscle ups
135lb hang power cleans

Time: 10:04

Last time: 14:44.

Surprised myself.

Big improvement in muscle up endurance...was able to get 7/7/5+2. Note that I was doing bar muscle ups...this time and last. Will start more ring training.

Even managed to use hook grip on last set of cleans...had an epiphany as to how much easier it is. Felt like I had decent form as well.

Actually felt like I could go another round...last time I did this...I was wiped.

Cheers all.

Thanks for the kind words Karen (146) and keep up the great work yourself. Outstanding progress in 6 weeks.

sub jumping MU for MU

13:30

Craig (234) most workouts you see here will already have an element that favours the bigger guy and an element that favours the lighter guy (thrusters/pull ups or deadlift/handstand press ups) My advice would be to just focus on getting the fastest time you can at the prescribed weight first.

18:45
95# hang power cleans. Couple of micro-rests on squat sets 2&3. HPCs broken 6/4, 5/5, 6/4. Rest of time on MUs. Happy to get all MUs and be sub-20...

Last set of hanging power cleans went down to 115 for forms sake.

18:34

Subbed 4X ring dips and pull ups

Usually I find on of the exercises a little easier, ok maybe not easier but less terrible. This one no dice, they were all grueling.

Oliver and myself, 19 y/o males, 165 and 175 lb. ~24 minutes.

HPCs are awful. Killed the muscle-ups though; max sets were five consecutive.

55 y.o. 155lb 5'10.

I can't do a single muscle up and substituted 3 ring dips for each muscle up. Also, only jerked 85lbs. It took me just over 18 minutes. I screwed up on the timer.

13:36 (125 lb HPC)

WOD with subs-

K- CFWU x 1 (starting to get dark had to get to WOD)
50 squats
21 jumping pull ups and dips
10 HPC, 55 lb
Time- 25:13
Had to stop for a momment to check out L's lip as he had hit himself in the mouth with the bar and bit his lip, clock kept running.
Last time- 21:56

N- CFWU x 2 with burpees, 1/4 mile run
50 squats
21 jumping pull ups and dips
10 HPC, 45 lb
Time- 22:09
last time- 19:56 with 35 lb HPC

L- 50 squats
21 jumping pull ups and dips
10 HPC, 25 lb
Time- 22:50
Clock kept running while lip was checked out.
Last time- 19:20

This time we all went slower, partly because it was dark when we were done (worked outside) and also because we focused on proper form throughout.

WOD:
18:36

subbed jumping bar MU off a low box to top of a squat rack. tried the first few hanging, close, but no go. need to concentrate on explosion through the MUs.

Like many others that have posted today this was the first WOD video that I saw and prompted me to start Xfit. No where near as impressive as the ladies but am very grateful to be a part of this great program. Thank you so much Coach and everyone at HQ. Happy Xfitting all.

WOD as rx'd
MU's broken and eventually with a little push off the ground to make the transistion but definately stoked that I can do them now with my rings.

#199 Rob---

Do you do the CFWU (crossfit warmup) before each WOD? If you don't I guarantee that the 30-45 OHS (overhead squats) before each WOD will drastically improve your regular squats. This and doing tons of regular squats (look at "Tabata Squats" on the Exercises & Demos page) will both strengthen the right areas and build the balance and coordination to hammer thru like Jeff and Rob on the video.

Regarding your music choice for the video of today's workout: Guess I need to be sure my daughter is out of the room when I'm viewing the CrossFit web site from now on. Pitty.

I was overly concerned with time so I tried to adjust it to my schedule. I might try this one again soon.

16:23. subbed 3/3 pullups and dips. Able to do dips for the first time in months, didn't feel too bad, but had to walk across gym to the bar. Much harder than the last Nasty girls with the 95lb. HPC's.

-would have been faster, but I had to climb a flight and a half of stairs each time to get to the Olympic Bar at my work. I'll break 10:00 easily next time!
