This is going to hurt for sure.

Comment #1 - Posted by: Alfie at May 11, 2007 8:33 PM

D'oh, no glute-ham developer at the hall (I think) so there will be substitutions...

Comment #2 - Posted by: gaucoin at May 11, 2007 8:51 PM

Sub for glute-hams?

Comment #3 - Posted by: B at May 11, 2007 8:58 PM

Comment #4 - Posted by: dmarsh at May 11, 2007 9:06 PM

What is an acceptable sub for double unders, no jump rope available to me.

Comment #5 - Posted by: Union Jack at May 11, 2007 9:38 PM

no GHD for me either.. can knees to elbows be subbed today?

Comment #6 - Posted by: joelthemole at May 11, 2007 9:39 PM

Never mind comment #6, I should read the FAQ first.

...DO tuck jumps...

Comment #7 - Posted by: union Jack at May 11, 2007 9:42 PM

I used a swiss ball put my ankles under the pads that do under your knees on a leg extension machine (from comments the last time we did these). It worked well.

Comment #8 - Posted by: Corey at May 11, 2007 9:52 PM

This is gonna hurt... I remember my legs feeling dead last time I had to do glute-hams, and that was only about a third as many...

Comment #9 - Posted by: Randy at May 11, 2007 9:54 PM

BTW - I urge the sensitive ear people to not watch the back extension example. :)

Comment #10 - Posted by: Corey at May 11, 2007 9:54 PM

nuttrition question: re zone diet - all common block charts including those in crossfit journal list 1oz of protein powder as 1 protein block. ie should = 7grams of protein. But my protein powder for instance has 24grams of protein per 30 gram scoop (approx 28gms = 1 ounce). So therefore should not 1 block of protein when using powder protein only = about 1/3 of an ounce? One ounce should approx = 3 blocks of protein per a block chart and not one as it currently seems to be. Unless I've got some super duper strong protein powder, but I don't think i do.

Sorry to be dull, but any thoughts? Cheers

CFWU x 3

21 minutes

Subbed good mornings with the oly bar on my back for back extensions, and used the swiss ball things for the GHSU's. Double Unders as rxd (and I'm getting better at them, only messed up a few times)

I don't think my hamstrings like me anymore

Comment #22 - Posted by: Lynne Pitts at May 12, 2007 5:30 AM

Ditto on #8

I tried this yesterday and it worked great. And by great I mean my abs are still sore. Amazing what going the full ROM does for you.

The only tricky part was getting my but off the ball. I'm pretty sure your weight should be supported by the backs of your thigh not your rear.

Once I figured that out it was good.

Double unders suck for me at the best of times. Attempting them with no mid-section was.....amusing.

Happy birthday lad and lasses!

No GHD here, so had to sub decline situps for the GHS and 45# good mornings for the back extensions.

Comment #27 - Posted by: Rick510 at May 12, 2007 6:24 AM

Didn't have time to drive across Kabul to the gym, so worked out in the villa instead.

Sub'ed Tuck Jumps, used a swiss ball for the GHD Sit-Ups, and sub'ed Good Mornings with a 45lb barbell:

Sit-ups on swiss ball, feet anchored touching floor on each rep.

Comment #31 - Posted by: chris l at May 12, 2007 7:03 AM

ok here is a question and nobody get upset because I have been CFing for a while and I know to read the faq for subs but this is a little different...

During my rugby game 2 weeks ago I pulled a muscle in my hip flexor and it only really bothers me when I either isolate my abs or do fast lateral movements (sidesteps)

any ideas on what I should sub for GHD situps as I am pretty sure that I wouldnt be able to do them without a lot of discomfort? Back extensions are no problem.

Neil: Took the roman chair and propped it up so that it resembled a GHD. That added a whole new level of suck. Did the BrandX pack workout 25, 20, 15, 10, subbing tuck jumps for Db’ unders. Still getting over sprained back. Time 12:58 Worked on sitting MU’s for a while after.

Double-unders unbroken. WOD was #2.

Comment #50 - Posted by: Matt G. at May 12, 2007 9:06 AM

M/50/165 lbs.

Killer WOD

Warmup: 3 rounds of modified CFWU - stretch X 20 seconds, overhead squat X 15 reps, PUs X 5, pushups X 15, dips X 12 plus 5 easy minutes on Lifecycle.

WOD - 32:45

Maybe double-unders would cut time off the WOD, but I sub'ed broken sets of tuck jumps (from FAQ page) for double-unders. Also, did modified GH situps. I think I will have to sub strict situps from now on. Any GH sub I try kills my lower back and hips, esp. when I bend backwards past vertical.

After WOD, finished with 3 sets of:
PUs X 15 reps, pushups X 20 reps, dips X 10 reps

Comment #53 - Posted by: bingo at May 12, 2007 9:28 AM

The setup in the LuxoGym was completely inadequate for this, so I subbed 20" box jumps, back extensions, situps all using 20lb weight vest. Fun workout, though I am still getting nasty looks from the LuxoTrainers. 20:52 though clearly not comparable whatsoever to the prescribed WOD.

Afterwards, Norma and I played with pushups. Fun stuff!

Have got to learn Double Unders the Tuck jumps were the worst part. The GHD Sits were broken in groups of 10 every time. I sure thought I remember seeing a video of coach demonstrating the GHD sit-up and he recommended doing only 6-8 what's with 150? Oh my that hurt...

Comment #57 - Posted by: mhlane at May 12, 2007 9:39 AM

22:35, used swiss ball with feet under bar on squat rack for sit ups and back exts. Still can't do more than 2 dbl unders in a row.

While doing this I noticed a gray hair floating softly down to the floor. CF doesn't knock your socks off, it knocks the hair off your head!

My double unders are better but still suck, and I hope to god that my sub for GHD situps is harder, because if not I have some serious work to do.

cfwu(15) x 3

3 x regular jump rope instead of double unders and subbed knees to elbows for GHS

22 minutes

Comment #98 - Posted by: gbk at May 12, 2007 2:11 PM

58 minutes (at least I kept it under an hour). I had several interruptions but even if I didn't I would probably still have the worst time posted. But, I did everything without subbing.

Wow I really need to improve on this W/O. My abs are going to be sore tomorrow. My DU take a long time due to all of the misses and resets.

Prior to this worked on my MU

I had to get to work early so I only had time for the round of 50, following a single round of warmup (sans situps and back extensions). Took my time - about 10 minutes for the round. Still, that was better than nothing.

CFWU x 3

47:19

As rx'd except no GHD so did the GHSU's on the back extension unit backwards. Not exactly the same but still pretty painful.

Which brings me to my question for today. How long do I have to do these workouts before I am no longer in constant pain? Meaning muscle pain... joint pain... etc.. I see posts from people saying they have been doing it for a month and they are in the best shape of their lives. I just feel sore and tired after the workouts... and just about the time I start to feel normal again... another work out comes along with more pain. While I am physically stronger (based on my increased CFT) I don't feel physically stronger most of the time. Usually I just feel sore. So how long before I get past that?

Comment #108 - Posted by: JPW at May 12, 2007 3:31 PM

At the hall, had to use subs:

Double Unders
Knees-to-elbows
Swiss ball single leg curls (total, not per leg)

I wasted most of the afternoon at the hall then got to the WOD around 3:30 and I just finished my round of 40 reps and the TONES GO AGAIN LIKE LAST WEEK! I was at 15:19 already by this point and in a world of hurt so I can't say I was too upset. Plus I quite possibly used the worst subs ever.

It turns out some old guy drove 10 miles with the emergency brake on in his motor home and it started to smoke so he called us in because 'it was on fire.' Oh the smart smart people we meet on this job, I tell you.

104, Brian: How long have you been following the WOD's? You might want to consider taking a week off, or a "half week" in which you do half the prescribed reps. Find a whirlpool, stretch, get a massage, go for an easy swim. For more info, go to the message board. Remember, no one's keeping score here; if you need to rest and recover, listen to your body. We're all in this for the long haul.

Both back extensions and GHD on a flat bench, with legs strapped down with a duty belt. Subbed Burgener's explosiveness drill (jump squats) for each double under (eeeevil idea).

104 Brian,

Preparation for and recovery from the workouts is highly dependant on your nutrition. How long before workouts do you eat? How long after your workouts before you eat? I try to make sure I eat about an hour before the workouts and within an hour post-workout. Being sore for long periods of time after the workout generally means you haven't recovered from it due to improper nutrition after the workout. I don't generally change what I eat, try to get a nice balance of carbs fat and protein on both occasions. Many here use the Zone diet but I haven't spent much time analyzing what I eat. If I find myself plateauing at all I might look at it, but right now I'm makin great gains and and doing nothing more than eating about an hour before and after workouts.

Need help subbing the GHD Situps and backextension

At home workouts on weekends. Fitness ball subs for back extension and GHS.

Head would hurt a bit by end of the back/ab work. Double unders actually improved as the workout progressed even though I became more fatigued. Hadn't jumped rope in years!

since jump ropes by a 51 year old are just plain ugly, subbed tuck jumps (they are not pretty either) 50/40/30/20/10 (GHD situps/back extensions as Rx'd) = 34:55. This was another that looked easier on paper!

Our thoughts and prayers are with Major Douglas Zembeic's family and friends.


One day behind due to zero time yesterday for working out.

WU- 3 rounds of 12 reps- jumping pullups, knee push ups, bench dips, squats

WOD w/ subs-
single unders for doubles
decline bench all the way down with anchored feet for GHSU
BE's

Time- 28:01

Rounds 1, 2, and 3 broken. Toward the end, the single unders were in onesey's and twosey's. Foot just has small cramp in it, so I'm glad I didn't double up the amount of the single unders to end up with a big cramp.

Should have read the board for the sub for GHD. Did situps on the 45-degree board. Did back extensions on the 45-degree extension piece.
Started getting the hang of the double unders on the last 60 or so. Still need some practice.

My back was going into convulsions afterwards. I had to lay down for a few minutes.

Couldn't do the double unders, so I subbed 3 singles for each double under. Also, due to a lack of equipment, I did the situps and the back extensions with a body ball.

okay did workout two days in a row. day 1 = I ran a mile then did workout in 28 min. day 2 = I ran 3/4 mile and did workout in 22 1/2 min.

Time was slow, but I am recovering from a virus and was dizzy every time I got on the situp contraption and bent backwards. Had to take them slow and break up sets. Probably dumb to even do it, but I'm hooked...

Comment #241 - Posted by: jonathan b at May 16, 2007 3:06 PM

50:05. I did the last 12 situps on the "20" set, and the last 10 set of GHS as Knees to Elbows. The GHD we have is really a back extension thing, with no adjustability for leg length, so my butt hangs over quite a bit, probably 5". Possibly for that reason, possibly due to lack of strength, my lower back got to where it was seriously hurting, and I was concerned about injury, so I subbed the KTE.

That was the best I could do, and I was seriously nauseous at the end. I'm amazed at other folks times. I described CrossFit to someone the other day as the "Binge drinking of fitness", and really felt that moniker fit tonight.

Did on May 22 at 0800.
short for time so did 1 x CFWU...kipping PUs are coming very nicely. 10 in a row is getting easy, so will try 15rep for all excercises in CFWU.
Sub'd tuck-jumps for Double Unders, and did GHSUs on the back-extension unit with comfortable range of motion.

Had to stop a few times because my back was sooo tight...was ok after getting home, with the normal crossfit-soreness (not complaining).
My wife says "You did this to yourself"...damn straight I did!

The mortgage loans are important for people, which are willing to ground their own company. As a fact, that is not very hard to receive a term loan.
