Now that's what I'm talkin about.
let me ask early...pull-ups..are these amounts without breaks? or what would be an acceptable amount of breaks to keep reps high?
As far as I'm aware max pullups is as many pullups as possible without leaving the bar
Sorry , I realised you are asking about time breaks not breaks in sets. You can take as many breaks as you like but you will naturally achieve less rounds in the 20mins.
I'm assuming we can do kipping pull-ups to get max reps on each round..is that ok
I am going to dominate this workout. My max pull-ups will be like 3 by the second round.
#3 Aaron...
Thanks, that answers it...as many as possible without leaving the bar...Cool!
New track close to the house with a location to make the pull-ups happen...just a little slippery though...will challenge the grip!
Once you drop from the bar, you are done for that round.
g - Yes, you can always kip unless the workout specifically says another type, aka "L pull-ups" or "strict pull-ups".
first time for this one woohoo
I really cannot wait to hit this one tomorrow. After the squats today my legs are definitely going to be sore but i'm gonna burn through the sprints. I'm excited, I know i'll be thinking about it at work tomorrow
This one is just gonna be ouch.

Ahhh, Nicole.... how is it I luv her and hate her at the same time?
Some time ago I came across an excellent routine that I think fits into the Xfit concept well - albeit a little too focussed on weights perhaps but I throw this week long routine into my training about every one or two months.
Monday - Workout A - Strength I
Rules: 3 supersets X 3 each. Max weight that allows 5 reps of each exercise. 60 secs rest btw exercises
IA weighted dips (I use 105# on dips belt)
IB Squats (315#)
IIA Weighted pullups (45# on dips belt)
IIB Deadlift (295#)
IIIA BB curls (105#)
IIIB weighted situps (10 reps with 45#)
Tues - Workout B - metabolic I
Rules: 3 circuits, 12 reps per exercise, 30 secs rest btw exercises
A. DB Incline bench (70s)
B. BB lunges - 12 reps each leg alternating(115#)
C. Bent over BB rows - (115)
D. Stiff legged DLs (115)
E. Swiss ball pikes (12 reps per set)
Wed - rest or run
Thurs - Workout C - Strength II
same rules as Strength I
IA: BB bench (235)
IB: Front full squats (185)
IIA: Seated rows (210)
IIB: Sumo deadlift (185)
(I throw 3 sets of lying tricep extensions in at end)
Fri - Workout D - Metabolic II
3 circuits - same rule as met I
A: DB shoulder press (60s)
B: Hanging cleans or box jumps
c: V grip lat pulldowns
D: back extensions or good mornings with BB
E: swiss ball pikes (or substitute equiv abs)
Sat or Sun Rest or run one day. Take lots of Ibuprofen etc
I've messed with the second metabolic WO over time and frankly can't remember the original sequence.
For reference, I am 45 yom, 175#.
Enjoy
This looks fun :) can't wait to try it out.
so sick... this will be awesome.

Saw your post. With boots, sounds tough. I'm gonna try that too. Boots and Utes baby!
I'm really quite scared about the aftermath of this WOD. Max pull ups, ~10 rounds = very, very sore. I'm so glad there's a rest day afterwards.
i know u can sub runs with cycling, but is it a good sub if you do 400m on bike, or is it best to do it on time. (eg if i do say 1min running 400, should do 1 min on bike). Can someone please help me with this one i'm confused:(
First time posting... I've been doing the WODs for about 6 months and have recently picked up two new partners on a twice a week basis. Problem is these guys are like 300 plus lbs (NOT muscle), athletic, but out of shape. But they are committed and absolutely game for everything I throw at them (for excercise that they can actually do, that is) which is fantastic.
My question for this WOD... if my guys are doing all jumping pullups, should I be subbing the exercise for an excercise that they can actually do unassited reps of? I have had this problem with them on other excercises, too.
9 rounds, 10,11,6,8,9,8,7,8,7 subbed 1:30 skipping.
Freddy (#13) - "You know the saying you always hurt the one you love, well, it works both ways."
Matt (#18) - best to sub a comparable time as you could cycle 400m with v little effort, if you sub a time you get a better workout
Nate (#19) - I'd advise getting them to do continuously jumping PUs until they either stop to catch their breath or take their hand off the bar. So they could jump,jump,jump,stop = 3 reps. Hope this helps!
Is it better to have more rounds or more pull ups? or does it just workout that more rounds = more pull ups overall?
Just started CrossFit about 2 weeks ago, its a amazing change from conventional bodybuilding training methods and the results are unreal!!
Anyway todays workout of the day: 8 rounds, 8,5,5,5,3,3,3,2 (last 2 sets added 2 jumping chins)
Finished workout off with some box jumps and stretching/crunches 28 mins total time.
#21,
It's max rep pullups. This one isn't about establishing a pace. Go until you can't. Run away, run back. Repeat.
subbed 1.5 minute cycle sprints
7 rounds plus 20 seconds of round 8.

pullups started strict and finished jumping
5 rounds

7 rounds (went over the 20 minute mark by 8 seconds to finish the last set of kipping pullups):
37, 26, 22, 21, 25, 23, 22
Terminated the first two sets early; tugging and pinching callouses. I won't chance a hand tear while training for the Miami meet.
21, 15, 11, 12, 13, 9, 10
I expect to spend 19 minutes running and 1 minute doing pullups!
#26 Kelly Moore-
I've always enjoyed looking at your outstanding times and numbers. Good luck with the Miami meet. Keep us updated with how you do (and have been doing at the other meets too :) ).

7 rounds 20:00 exactly Had a really bad cramp on the runs
1 round less than last time however, I did 1 more pullup this time
K: Time got skewed (6 y/o workout partner); so did 5 rounds. 10-10-5-7-10 (10's ball assisted; for 5 and 7 did 3 straight pullups and the rest jumping).

Tank was empty. The hips were not activating, no kip, no run. 400s outside on a 14% grade (downhill going out).
7 rounds plus 3/4 of the 400m in 20 minutes. Finish out the last round. I did 10 pull ups in each round.
Happy to be back and building the team in South Georgia.

buzzer went off when i was about to start the run for round 7.
so - anyone know a way to speed up pulled muscle recovery? this sucks. i just got back from resting a messed up shoulder a week ago...
# 31, I can relate to that! So how many rounds did your partner get?

Bleh. I wasn't sure if my lungs were going to explode or pukie was going to show up. Pretty great looks from the folks at the gym as I was sucking down air.

P.S. I'm still doing assisted pull-ups. Gotta learn how to kip.
10, 5, 5, 5, 3, 5, 5. After that I did 15 minutes of spinning with a friend. Very nasty.
20:36 5 Rounds (16, 14, 10, 9, 8)
Suspect the run was more than 400 meters
41/168
First time running since my calf muscle tear. Took it really easy on the 400s, more like a slow jog, to see if my calf could take the pounding. Only managed 4 total rounds plus a 200.
28,20,17,20
Ok...This will be my first time doing Nicole...sounds like a mean girl though. I don't expect to do too well, but who knows?
I did this on a treadmill with mixed results.
30,26,18,15,16,18 and then manged another 200m before 20:00. Added another 10:00 doing dumbells just to get 30:00 total. Don't do squats, but did paddle for 3 hours yesterday.

If you haven't had your workout partners check out the scaled WOD at Brand X yet, go check it out. There's a link from the main page (or is it in the FAQ?)
I would not have been able to start the WODs without the scaling they have posted there daily.

Crossfit is awesome. Been lifting and running for most of my life looking for the magic combonation with lots of overtraining issues. I have found the answer here with crossfit. i am truly obsessed and will be a loyal follower. I checked the website out for a couple of months reading and following posts until i finally decided to start doing the workouts, been following the workouts now for 2 months. I feel like a little kid everyday getting on the website to check out the days activity. And this is also my first time posting. post results later. RLTW

5 rounds and half a run.
Pull-ups: 20, 15, 13, 12, 10 = 70 total
Added bonus: The pull-up bar is upstairs in my house, so between every set I had to run up and down the stairs.
Pretty happy with the pull-up numbers because they were all kipped. I am slowly but surely getting the kipping form down. Now I need to work on increasing my max rep. Right now it's in the 20's (did 22 yesterday).
First of all, fantastic video. I could watch this stuff all day. Can't wait for the cert in portland next month.

kelly moore- wow, as always great job and good luck at your meet!

plus 300m
my grip was my weak point
Warm up:
Jogged to the gym, performed 110 sit ups over the exercise ball, touching the floor, 70 leg lifts on the exercise ball.
Used the treadmill: NO incline, level 8:
400 meters w/12 pull ups (slight kip), 400 meters w/12 pull ups (more kip), 400 meters w/12 pull ups (lil more kip),
(reduced level to 7.5) 200+ meters
From the look of things, my runs must have been .4 of a mile, rather than 400 yards.

Thanks Nicole...thanks Coach.
Desert Boots huh? Sounds like a plan :D
Just curious:
I just started CrossFit yesterday (literally). Is this the only workout you're supposed to do? Or is this very flexible to be worked in to the everyday weights and such?

#88 christopher meyer,
Make sure to do a solid Crossfit warm-up x 3 each day prior to the work out of the day. This is a good place to focus on specific weaknesses while building a strong base. When done with intensity the warm-up is a good workout in itself.
Doing the CFWU and the WOD as prescribed (RX'd) is plenty...good luck finding energy to do extra. if you find you do have extra left over, start adding things to the CFWU to improve upon.
Just my $.02

Coach,
I really enjoyed the video; I found it elegant & concise. The cogent presentation masks the formidable achievement you have accomplished in interpreting the massive amount of often ambiguous empirical fitness data and fitting it to a superior method of fitness.
Thanks,

My first encounter with Nicole and I got it slightly wrong, as I started with the pull-ups instead of the run.
5 and a half rounds (6 rounds of pull-ups, 5 runs)
13, 13, 13, 10, 8, 8 using a -20kg (44lb) assist on the machine.
1 degree on the treadmill. I hate the gym's new treadmills with a vengeance as I always feel like I can't balance and will come flying off if I try to go much faster than 11kph. In the past I've let that limit me but tonight I decided to just go faster and hold on to the rail with one hand and that seemed to do the trick.

400 meters 5 times
17/12/8/3/1=41
7 full rounds + 250m (25,20,17,17,15,16,16)
That really beat me up, almost eight 400m runs in 20 minutes is rough. I wasn't feeling too hot before and I feel abused now, I think I've been a little stresses lately so maybe I'm fatigued. My runs were too lazy in the middle rounds so I didn't get the eight full rounds that I wanted. I'm still shaking 15 minutes after here, not my usual self today.
Pre-the usual

Not wanting to destroy my hands further so kept the pull ups to:
20-15-15-15-15-15-15
6 x Laps were roughly 500m in the park, route already marked up.
For some reason I felt like I had no gas in the tank during the running but ok on the calasthenics. Pushed thru as ever, but think I'll have to put it down to dehydration and lack of sleep coming off a busy tour of duty this a.m.
Best of Luck to all for tomorrow's WOD.

Great workout! To avoid getting stuck with zero pullups after round two, I had to sub: toes touching ground and giving a small nudge. 10-12 of those is all a pullup challenged individual like me managed to do... Total: eight rounds.

M/35/225lbs/5'11" - This post is for fatties like me who read the posts in utter amazement. I've always been heavy & I maxed out at 275 lbs last Nov. I lost 50 lbs w/ diet, cardio, & weights, but I still didn't feel fit. I've been doing CrossFit for about two months, but I've been to embarrassed to post. I'm starting to feel some progress so I thought I would post for any others out there who might be in the same boat.
I did 7 Rounds of:
Run 400 M (+up the hill from the school track to the pullup bar)
12 jumping pull ups
Time - 19:20.35
While my results are pathetic compared to most, I wanted to share due to the difference CrossFit is making for me outside the gym. My softball league just ended so I compared my 1st 5 games (back in May before CrossFit) to my last 5 games (after two months of CrossFit). 1st 5 games - 6 for 18 (.333) with 1 home run. Last 5 games - 16 for 19 (.842) with 7 home runs and was walked intentionally 3 times. I also improved my base running and defense so that's a pretty dramatic difference in two months. I understand this is just old man's softball, but results are results. You have to crawl before you can walk and run. That said, I'll keep working and eventually I will be able to post with pride.

Yesterday I did 1 set of squats for 21 reps, but it was BW plus 15 lbs! Another PR! Tonight I go on vacation to northern Minnesota, so I can relax and escape the heatwave. I definitely need a week off.

You should be proud. I've got friend, 29, 280#, drinks, smokes and eats like he did when we were teens: fat, carb and more fat. He doesn't do anything athletic. I worry about him constantly, as does his wife. To no avail. Good for you for taking the initiative and then sticking with it. I wish my friend would do the same. Keep up the good work.

M/37/175
This is one tough girl... I surprised myself: even though I'm still sick and taking meds that make me feel listless, I was able to crank out almost 7 rounds, with the biggest pullup set at 22 reps (strict - my kipping is not up to par)
400m, pullups:
8.0 mph, 22
8.0, 11
8.0, 9
8.0, 8
9.0, 8
8.5, 8
9.0, 8 (finished 7th round in 21:23)
I may have done 8 total and missed recording one, but I'll just claim 7 to be sure. I'm totally wiped, but impressed that XFit has gotten me to the point where I can perform well even when ill. In the past I would not have put forth the effort that I do/can now.
PS
While warming up for my WOD I saw a man running around lake merrit in OAKLAND Stopping at the pull up bar to do his pull ups. He was a three year Cross Fitter. Look around you they are every where.

A comparison to last time reveals my 400m run total has improved by 2 rounds and my aggregate PU total has improved by 12 (mostly as a function of my 400m run improvement). Avg Max PUs per row didn't really improve. I still suck at PUs...
So many incredibly great performances. Kudos to Harry Hogg, Mary Ann, FBC, and Dutch! I prefer Lynne, where there is time to recover for max reps.

Pullups were a mixture of strict/kipping (still working on the kipping). First set of pullups were "broken" as I rested after the first ten by hanging from the bar for a few moments. This was a tough WOD to do in the sun.

Wanted to get an opinion from some of the experienced.
For this WOD I was able to hang on the bar for a quick rest (we're talking a second) and pump out several more pullups, but obviously that ate up my time. Would it have been better to stop the pullups once the initial fatigue set in and go run?
Thanks.

Just around 4 months into CF and just this week I have noticed things falling into place. I can push beyond the lactic acid/cardio failure, pullups are coming in, I all of the sudden can do ring dips, handstands aren't that far off. Really gets me excited for things to come! I guess the more thrashing about I do, it drives the hook in deeper.

Got many stares while doing this one. It was great but i think i can do better. This is my 3rd week on Crossfit and I luv it

Five and a half rounds in 20 min on treadmill @ 2% incline, various speeds starting at 9.5 and going down. 22/13/12/11/12. Weezing. Stares. Sweat. Alot of sweat... and weezing. Am I the only one in Charleston, SC? Can't be...
25/m/163
6 rounds
18,15,12,11,11,12
Did 3 rounds on treadmill, 3 rounds on eliptical because of ankle.
Bet I could have done another round but had machine issues/long walk to pull-up bar.... next time.
I went to the playground to do this workout, and I'm about 12-15 minutes into it when this (approx.) 2 year old boy shows up with his mother. So I finish a set of chins and go for my last 400M run, on the return trip, I see this tyke running after me. Of course, I start laughing. When he sees me coming back, he turns and starts running away. As I get closer, his mother can see I'm laughing and says "He just took off after you." So I do what any fun loving crossfitter would do. I start playing with him. I chased him back to the playground, then with his mother's permission, do my last set of pull-ups with him on my back, laughing the whole way. The when 20min is up, I collapse in the sand, and he lays down next to me... for about 10 seconds before getting up and wanting me to go play some more. I guess every crossfitter had to start somewhere. Wouldn't surprise me to see him posting on here in a few years.
P.S. I forgot my numbers.

To the Crossfitter who said hello to me today in Pure Fitness in Scottsdale:
I apologize for blowing you off. I was just in the zone and not thinking. On my next treadmill session I realized what I did and felt like an ass (Because I was an ass) and wanted to make amends, but hadn't any idea what you looked like. Again, I'm sorry, I hope we cross paths again.

I knocked this one out in my development and at the playground across the street. 400m distance was an approximation, but it wasn't short. I completed this WOD in the rain around 20:30 hours. It was probably one of the most refreshing workouts I've ever had after living in a blast furnace for the past few days.

interesting phenomenon - this is the first WOD I can recall besting my expectations. Thought i would get 5 rounds. Became mentally difficult to keep givin 'er after that mark, but I did.
missed yesterdays WOD, those squats look tasty for tomorrow morning...
4 rounds
accidently reversed the order of the rounds, did the pullups first. about felt like i was gonna die on this one. While runnig after 200m i had to remind myself that i was supposed to be sprinting not barely jogging.
pullups 20,15,13,15
Ok, I'm not going to post times or reps. I'm to embarrassed. But at least I got started. We'll see how well she treats me next time.

#136, Heavy D - That's impressive man, keep up the good work. you completed 7 rounds in less time than me, and I'm 27m/180#... really, good work.
#162 Edevine - agreed, I can relate too well - 35yo brother at ~280#, smoking, he used to be so fit.
Heartbreaking sometimes. But taking a step back from it, I'll just keep setting my own example and see if I can carve a path the people i love will want to follow...

Should have switched grips to get a few more reps in but wasnt sure if that was allowed.
Each 400m run included 4 flights of narrow stairs to get to our CF space. The stairs at the end of each run was a brutal killer. Huge difference from running on a flat track or surface.

tried a supinated grip on the round of 10 and grip failed real quick...mixed grip on the first round of 15 was also a disaster...stick to pronated grip from now on

I shredded my callus on the very last rep, probably because I was kipping with a close, supinated grip. Now my index finger is a little numb. weird.
