OK I was wishing and hoping for a run, but this will work....I think! Actually, given the condition of my shoulders right now, I may save this one for another time. Right now, my upper body is crying!

Can't get the vid to play. Advice?

Comment #2 - Posted by: Denver Sheepdog at April 30, 2007 8:27 PM

Is it just me, or can you only view the video as a .mov file?

Comment #8 - Posted by: Arana at April 30, 2007 8:36 PM

The video was done with quicktime 7 using a codec h.264. Can't figure out how to play it with out getting a new version of quicktime.

Comment #9 - Posted by: Jim D. at April 30, 2007 8:49 PM

I think the video name is just a typo. If you type the path into the browser but replace .mov with .wmv it will play.

Or, you could cut and paste:

Judging by some of yesterday's comments I'm not the only one who has found the recent rate of pull ups hard on the hands. I've developped some blisters and broken off several calusses and don't like how it makes it look like I'm actually working for a living (I am an officer after all.)
Does anyone have any tips for toughening up the hands so I won't blister up or maybe a way to grio the bar so there is less friction? Thanks

KCN,
Try using some super light grade sand paper on your callouses before they get too thick and rip off. Haven't done it in a while but it used to help a bit. Kind of stinks cause your hands are more sensitive after that, but that's all I've got

Comment #15 - Posted by: Speal at April 30, 2007 9:13 PM

KCN

you could always do what M. Alou does each spring during baseball season to toughen up his hands... pee on them

Comment #16 - Posted by: Ben at April 30, 2007 9:14 PM

KCN there isn't much you can do if you are brand new to the game here but if you have raggety calluses you need to sand them down so they don't tear off during chins. There probably isn't a specific grip to use but after your hands toughen up over a longer period of time they won't hurt as much during or after your workouts.

Comment #17 - Posted by: gaucoin at April 30, 2007 9:24 PM

KCN

Bring a bottle of urine to the gym and dump it on your hands before your workout like Ben said. It works wonders.

Seriously, you 'don't like how it makes it look like'? Calluses and blisters are cool, man! And actually, that's how you toughen up your hands - by developing calluses.

Watch the WOD demo video from 4/27/07. About halfway through, one of the "crazy *****es" shows off her bloody, blistered hands. She quickly tapes it up and finishes the workout... If that won't help "toughen" you up, I don't know what will...

Comment #18 - Posted by: Jason at April 30, 2007 9:25 PM

Navy Sucks! Go Coast Guard! Before you spout back, you know why the Navy has guns on both the bow and stern, and the CG only on the bow?? CG doesn't run from it's battles! Just jokin, love all the branches, but without the CG who would save everyone?

Push presses, hmmm, I have to get my arms above my head first. After the last week, that is the tough part...

Good video, I'm heading into town to buy a piece of PVC just to practice this. What is a good diameter and length?

Comment #20 - Posted by: gdmv at April 30, 2007 9:52 PM

#13--

I dislocated my left thumb about three weeks ago in a wrestling match getting chucked over the top rope. Mix that with tendonitis in my right elbow, you can imagine how crummy my grip is. I stopped getting such hardcore callouses after starting to use lifting straps on my pullups (I have no more grip in my left hand... still have limited range of motion in my thumb). They also help with things like snatches. Mix them with lifting gloves and you should be ok.

And complaining about callouses is not wussing out. They effing hurt and make things like walking your dog, washing the dishes, and chopping someone's chest into oblivion really really painful when they've ripped off.

Comment #22 - Posted by: Nado Rob at April 30, 2007 9:56 PM

KCN--
Goto the MESSAGE BOARD and search for "torn callouses". You'll find all the help you need. I recommend buying a cuticle trimmer and just snipping off the excess skin. Keep the callouses as flat as possible. Just be careful not to take off too much or your hands will be tender. Use 30min salt water soaks to speed up the healing on tears. Keep your hands moisturized during recovery and, if you can, use a little chalk to prevent your bare hands from sticking to the metal bar which causes the deep tears.
Best,
Wilson

Here's the wmv version of the Overhead Squat Basics: http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/CrossFit_OHSBasics.wmv

This is another one of those exercise that I really enjoy.

Comment #29 - Posted by: Jeff B. at April 30, 2007 10:08 PM

KCN,

I use Bert's Bees Hand Salve on my hands after I workout. I keep some pretty rockin' calluses on my hands but the hand salve keeps them from getting too hard, developing blisters, and tearing off. Even after all the pullups of the last week or two I haven't had any problems.

Occasionally I'll also take a file to the calluses to keep them from getting out of line. Basically you'll just put your hands in water until they're all pruned over, then take a file to the calluses.
Instructions here: http://beastskills.com/calluses.htm.

Some folks might still get confused and think you work for a living, but at least they won't think you work as hard as the rest of us.

Go NAVY!

BTW, any CrossFitters in Bahrain or on KAAOT, drop me a line. Thanks.

Comment #30 - Posted by: Travis Wesson at April 30, 2007 10:09 PM

7 sets of 3 reps...how do I determine what weight to use with this WOD? Thanks for any info!

Comment #31 - Posted by: Will at April 30, 2007 10:09 PM

hey will--

personally, i try to start with a relatively light weight, and work up to my previous PR by the sixth set, with an eye to getting a new PR on the 7th. other people, i believe, warm up, and then do what they can just handle for three reps across all seven sets.

toughen hands by rubbing a mixture of rubbing alcohol and talc on after a workout until they're dry. soaking your hands with salve, etc, is kind of counter-productive, 'cause it softens them back up. cutting down calluses when they start to get flaps works, too, but you don't want to take too much off lest you have to start the whole process over.

go army, beat air force.

Comment #38 - Posted by: nick at May 1, 2007 3:34 AM

#36 - totally, since today's is a maximal strength day. Having said that, yesterday's workout was shoulder heavy so either do today's workout then yesterday's in that order, or do today's and another workout that less involves the shoulders.

If ever these kind of workouts come up, I nearly always do some 400m intervals or something similar afterwards. It's a golden opportunity, because you usually still have energy left.

How much of your legs is legal to use on the Pushpress?

Comment #51 - Posted by: Moccasin Guy at May 1, 2007 4:43 AM

I heard a good one yesterday. A guy I work with asked his wife's personal trainer if he had heard of crossfit. He said yes, that's the work out all the firefighters use because they don't have time for a full workout. Made me laugh. Of course the wife has already started crossfit so we'll see how long the trainer lasts.

Poor saps. I went to college and I can't imagine trading that for any service academy. I had beer and a girlfriend and could wear sweats to class when it was early (like 10). You can keep the CinC's trophy. Semper.

Torn Callouses? Wear Gloves.

Analogous to wearing shoes to run.

The Glory (if that's important to you) of Hi-Rep Pull-up scheme duets lies in the intensity, not in whether your hands are bloody after it is all over and you have to back off from full effort for a week at work, play, or Crossfit because of it.

Third set felt a tweak in my neck, so backed off the weight to reset form. Very important, too, for me to focus on exploding up. Last time 175 was heaviest completed set, so 15# improvement. I'll take it.

Bryan G- Nice play on the gun placement Puddle Pirate. Here's a piece of info, when you are a USN Deep Sea Diver you are qualed to 190' on Air and 300' on Mixed Gas. If you are a Coast Guard Diver, you are qualed to your waist on Air and to your Sshoulders on Mixed gas. j/k Actually, it's 130' for both for you guys. But that's ok when you're a knee deep sailor. Just had to fire one back at you over your Bow.

Nice dig, and I expected it! I've got more rounds to fire, but they wouldn't be welcomed here! I will tell you I have a CG buddy that just got back from the Gulf after a long deployment in a NAVAL Unit. Good to have him and his unit back.

First time I've done this one - and I learned something:

Starting from a hang clean is considerably more difficult than starting from a full clean!

I thought I was making everything easier for myself my starting with the barbell on a waist-high plyo box, then hang-cleaning to my chest. I eventually realized that getting the hang cleans up was more difficult than the push presses themselves! From (2) on I did full cleans and found everything WAY easier. Next time I going to get 70kg.

Did my usual warmup
Started with 95lbs set 1, 115 set 2, 135 set 3, 155 set 4, 160 set 5, 165 set 6, and 175 on set 7. Not too shaby I think. Then I did 45 min on the treadmill, 15 min on rower and then did some abs. CrossFit, HOOAH!!

Comment #188 - Posted by: Joe Casale at May 1, 2007 2:47 PM

Thank you Dammit for the idea about a strategy for these. Nice work Irene and Kate!

Warmup - 1 hr Tae Kwon Do (kicking, kicking, kicking and a bit more kicking, with punches in a deep horse stance and some really old forms from 8+ years ago to finish off).

CFWU x 3
PP: 20 kg, 25, 28, 30, 32 (old PR), 34, 40-F, 36-F, 35 (new PR)

34 kg felt so good I got a bit too ambitious - forgetting sometimes that I'm working in kg, not in pounds so the increases per unit of weight are bigger!

made up last weeks WOD:

AMRAP in 20 min of:
45# HSC, 12 reps
7 pull-ups (kipping)

12 rounds

serious grip issues! now I know what ya'll were talking about!

push press 3-3-3-3-3-3-3

45x3
55x3
65x3
75x3
80x3
85x3
95x3 (ties PR)

probably could have set a new PR today had I done this before the HSC/pull-up WOD, but I just wanted to get that one over with.

Got introuble at my gym again today. This time it was for using the light bars for aerobics classes to do the Burgener WU, after they threw out the broomstick I had been using. Then 5 min later I got introuble for wearing my CrossFit shirt at the gym. My gym hates crossfit.

Probably could have gone a little heavier throughout, but I wanted to concentrate on perfect form. Plus I had no spotter =(

Felt a little tweak (same one I always have) in my right trap/rhomboid so I stopped here. Wouldn't have gotten more than 145 up.

100 is a PR for 1RM, let alone 3RM...tried for 105 but my heart/arms weren't in it. My 1RM for jerk is currently 100 also, which tells me that with technique it could be higher too.
