Can't wait. Did testing with my son tonight. Set new PR of 250#. bwt 170.

Great pic!

(Is there now a color requirement for attire at CFSC?)

Annie you rock. Excellent form on the snatches. I was wondering if you are going to deep on the OHS?

When you run out of white board space - use chalk on the ground! (See ground of the pic, stop staring at the gals!)

Trevor, I need you buddy!

Those women are incredible. Annie is my hero!

Too deep on the squats, Jim? I think it's safe to say that girl knows what she's doing when it come to squats.. or anything else Crossfit related .

I have an outfit that would totally match. Now if I could just get my pullups like that... Watch out :)

Go Girls! I love watching the videos of the girls doing such strong work. It's so inspiring.

vid won't load for me...what was the workout?

Totally hot! Strong work, ladies!

I love the WOD videos they show from time to time. I think I've tried every one I can remember seeing for the last couple months.

Layman #7, the workout in the video was:

1 Snatch + 10 OHS, 65lb BB
1 Snatch + 10 OHS, 65lb BB
15 Pullups

5 Rounds for time

"Excellent form on the snatches. I was wondering if you are going to deep on the OHS?"

WTF? Watch some videos of women snatching 100k and see how deep they squat. It's called Ass to ankles.

she-roes all 3 of these fabulous women!! this workout looks killer. imma hafta give this one a try sometime.

gonna intro my friend to her first CrossFit-style workout tomorrow mornin. can't wait!

I love the matching outfits. That was fantasytastic!
As for the ROM on the OHS, I think Jim D. was making an honest question and not a critique. Jim, hips below the knees is the minimum ROM you want to shoot for, anything lower than that is gravy and what we should be shooting for. She could have probably got an even better time if she had shortened it, but Annie would have made no improve impact on her flexibility in that case. Also, the lower OHS helps build the catch position on the squat snatch. the lower you can come under the bar and the faster you can do it, the more weight you'll be able to put up.

WOW, tough work-out! will try it tomorrow.

anyone know where are those yellow bumpers are from [brand]?

what's a good sub for deads?

Those women in the vid are amazing. I'm just gonna throw that out there.

You girls are about as inspiring as they come! Love to see it.

Annie's got a nice snatch...no pun! I meant form, of course.

so i've been doing the workouts as best i can for two weeks now, and i love them. i'm new to weight training/body fitness training. but i'm young and eager (22). two weeks ago, to track my growth, i maxed my bench press(90lbs) and 2arm curl(45lbs) and my BWT is 126. i have already put 25lbs onto to my bench and doubled my curl in two weeks! i'm so stoked on these workouts and i find myself thinking about them all day long and pondering how to be better and more efficient.

i know i'm new so please don't laugh but i'm confused. everyday before the WOD i've been doing the crossfit warmup as described in the "exercises & Demos" and then the WOD afterwards. i'm so tired i find it really hard to finish the whole workout. most of the time i just take a break and continue later (except for yesterday..... forget that) am i doing it right? any suggestions? encouragement? i'm a small guy but i'm mighty and stubborn and i'm totally into working out now so any help is very greatly appreciated. thanks so much.

D

I am thrashed after the W.O.D. on Friday. Could some one explain what it means 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 etc..
Thank you!

I would give up the arm curls and bench press as measures of your level of improvement. Track your "Fran" times as it is one of the benchmark workouts.

My husband got hooked on Crossfit in Afghanistan a few months ago, and he talked me into starting it yesterday. I've always been pretty athletic and in pretty good shape, but damn, I am so sore after these two workouts!

For today's WOD, I did 3 reps each of 65-85-85-85-85-95-105, plus 10 min on the eliptical. Oh, I'm female, 22, 125#.

I'm looking forward to posting REAL numbers in a couple of months!

40yof, 5'7, 150lbs
I did deadlifts on Thursday:

10 x 70kg (154lbs)
5 x 80kg (176lbs)
2 x 90kg (198lbs)
1 x 100kg (220lbs)
1 x 105kg (231lbs) (Failed first try – hand gave out. Got on second attempt)

As I'm visiting the parents today and have to get an early train I opted for a 5k run. Turned in a rather disappointing 35 minutes, which I put down to being half asleep (I pulled something in my upper back yesterday and it kept me awake last night).
Finished with 100 squats when I got back.

CFWU, WOD as rx'd, BW 84kg, 100kg-120-120-140-140-120-120...dropped to 120kg to maintain strict form...handstands/walking to finish...good day...

Hey "D" (# 19)

Sounds like you've made some excellent early progress!

I am also young - 21 - and was fit but 'tiny' when I entered college. After a few years of Olympic Lifts and conditioning (and more recently, several months of Crossfit), I can say that it only gets better!

Don't despair if you're tired early on... that's the point. Just never, ever, ever give up, unless your body is warning you about something. You can do it! Finish that workout! Scale it back if you have to, but improve week by week! Enjoy your progress and share your enthusiasm with others.

It sounds like you're passionate and dedicated, and that's all it takes. So keep reading/listening/watching to what the CrossFit folks have to say, and keep on keepin on brotha!

Worked up to 120kg and maxed out at that.

-80kg
-100kg
-100kg
-110kg
-110kg
-120kg
-120kg

Followed by 1k jog and 2500m Row totaled 15 mins of cool-down cardio.

just gettin to bed after a long night out and called it in my head. thought to myself, what could it be tomorrow that would kick my a$@. oh, maybe some deadlifts. this ought to be a rough road, maybe i ought to read the workout before i go to the bars to drink cause this one would have kept me indoors tonight.

I think the squat depth was just a honest question. People shouldn't be so quick to shoot folks down with questions on here. This is a place to help each other, not say "shut up and get back in line" as it were.

It may have come from the fact that you see 3 different people each snatching and squatting a little differently.

I'm recovering from a hip flexor injury, and not ready to do 1RMs. Did 5 x 5 instead.

60, 70, 75, 80, 80 kg

Light weights, focused on form.

I dont know why, but after yesterday's WOD, I was extremely motivated and feeling absolutely violent. I can not WAIT to get into this workout, and really pull some weight.

I hear your Geoff.

As RX'd with a little added pain.

Due to all the squats yesterday, I wanted to loosen up my legs and decided to incorporate a 400m run between each set.

1 - 185 x 5
2 - 225 x 5
3 - 275 x 5
4 - 315 x 3
5 - 365 x 1
6 - 385 x 1
7 - 405 x 1 (this one was a ball-buster)

g2g fellow crossfitters, loving it!!

Started a little low at #95. Had to stop at 5 sets because I felt the beginning of a muscle strain in my neck.

95, 135, 185, 195, 200

44/175

10 x 154
3 x 242
1 x 330, 374, 403

And that was that, too many variables didn't come to gether this morning plus a slight twinge in the low back suggested that I play it smart, at least, smarter than normal.

Vegas Baby!

You can check out a lot of the places by looking around the CrossFit website way down on the right hand side of the main page. As for bumper plates, a couple you could look at would be:

These are both "CrossFit friendly" stores. If I had the cash, I'd be orderin' some stuff myself.

It wasn't right today. Felt the lower back say stop and decided that was the best move. I need to do deadlifts as a regular part of my workworks. It seems that it's been awhile since we last did them.

the spam filters on this comments board are some fussy. :)

Oh my apologies, those weights were all in pounds, not kilos. :)

6 minute snatch set - 60L/59R. A poor hand switch at 3:02 minutes kept me just off a 20 rpm pace with the right hand. Hands in good condition.

10 minute break.

Beltless standard straight bar deadlift singles:

7x1x255 - Hands too sore to pull heavier; snatches are more important in my Miami training schedule.

Quick OH squat question:

I have been working on my wrist flexibility for the last few months, and my front squat and hand stands are starting to come together. My least comfortable lift for my wrist remains the OH squat. I tend to relax my arms and wrists a bit once I feel properly positioned. Are other folks maintaining a lot of tension in their arms, thereby cranking their wrists less? Thanks.

Did a scaled version of 8-24 workout first since I wasn't able to do it yesterday.

hands were really raw from all the pull-ups yesterday and it felt like it limited my weight but i also felt my form sucked so I backed it down.

Got a PR of 185 today, which was a pleasant surprise.

A guy came up to me while I was dead lifting and asked if I wanted to borrow his belt. I explained why I didn't need it and the whole functional fitness mantra. He gave me a compliment for doing deadlifts by saying that it had been years since he's seen any female do them. Always nice to get those kinds of compliments. Had my CrossFit t-shirt on today too, so I did my part in spreading the word!

Feel like I could have done a lot more but without someone ensuring correct form I did not want to sacrifice for poundage and slip back into bad habits.

Incorporated some KB swings into warm up and post WOD just to keep the engine running.

At a stage now, I think, where I can start to increase the weight back up.

After years of moving heavier loads with poor techniques before Crossfit and particularly Kempie (crossfitnortheastengland.com) showed me the error of my ways, dropped me down back to basics and rebuilt form, technique and fuller ROM. I look forward to doing a 300-400-500 again soon, but now with flawless technique. (BP-DL-SQ)

I don't know if there is something in the air at OPT today because I didn't even scratch the surface of my old PB's. I suppose it could be a combination of factors against me but the weight just felt way heavy today. Maybe I rushed the warm-up, maybe it's too early for me to do singles, maybe I'm stressed/tired but wow, what a huge let-down for me today. I was really jacked for this one, I had my new lifting shoes and everything but it's wasn't meant to be. Time to focus more on strength work. I'm so bummed out now...

Cole, #69 - I'm very impressed! Good work.

First time doing 1RM on deadlift. I've always been scared off by 1RM, but I learned today how much the mindset matters. Physically, the lift is demanding, but not in the CrossFit endurance manner I have come to expect of the WOD. However, I found that my attitude toward the lift was of supreme importance - thinking it would be too heavy would only hinder my performance, so I kept a positive and aggressive attitude and came away very happy with my results:

23/m/155lb

it's great to see someone so motivated to become strong and healthy.
keep doing your bench and curls, but don't forget to put forth a greater effort on the big lifts, like the squat, clean and military or push presses. you'll get the most out of them. those are the ones that will build your foundation... and then you can go from there.
when wrestling, i did enough burpees to... well... burp up my lunch, so i would do a bunch of them too. crossfit it cool because it is not uncommon to see burpees in a workout.

Cool deadlifts. I am going to be hurt'n tomorrow!

Davis thanks for the encouragement. I just wanted to second your point about attitude when doing 1RM lifting. I'm not a power lifter at all, and today I definitely learned the importance of lifting aggressively (all with good form of course!). Keep your spirits high and you will be amazed at how much weight you can move.

Until next time

Anyone in Gulf Breeze, FL doing CF?

Did yesterday's and today's WOD

Yesterdays as Rx'd with jumping pullups on last two rounds
55 min

Deadlifts
225 for first set,275 for all others

I've found it motivating to hear the success stories of others using crossfit, so I thought I'd post mine (lurking for 3 years, just starting to post results to comments).
I discovered Crossfit in 2004. I started with heavily scaled versions of the WOD's and generally the CFWU was enough to do me in. Since then I have kept pushing forward and now most of the WOD's I can do'as Rx'd'. Today I found an old workout journal from back when I started crossfit. I had written my personal stats down for future comparison, but then never did go back to compare to my current numbers. I was pretty surprised when I did the comparison between then and now.
Here's the stats (before and after)for comparison.

Male, 30 Years old (27 when I began crossfit)

Before (2004):
Weight: 267
Blood Pressure: 144/92
Diet: 'crappy' would likely sum it up
Max Pullups: 0
Max Pushups: 8
Running: no stats - wouldn't even think of it back then

Now:
Weight: 206
Blood Pressure: 118/82
Diet: Meat, vegetables, nuts and seeds....
Max Pullups: 12
Max Pushups: 30
Running: Did 5k three days ago - a lot of walking, but I finished it.

Thanks Coach......

I videoeoeoeoed myself lifting for the first time ever with my digital camera. I'll post it and if you want to critique my form (which it shouldn't take much to find something wrong)I'd appreciate the tips. This is 315 lbs., a new personal record for me. Click on my name and send me an email or something.
It felt great especially since two months ago the chiropractor pretty much said deadlifting would have me back in his office every time I did it. My form isn't great, but it's so much better. Thanks Coach!

NB, this is only my second crossfit wotd and just the official crossfit warmup kills me!

23 years old, 159 pounds, 6'2

recipe for disaster:

1) lingering wrist injury
2) ripping my palm open during yesterday's fun
3) 6-8 adult beverages last night
4) late night, unnecessary fast food

combine the above ingredients and you will get a bad WOD

DL'd 235# and 255#, once each. after that, i couldn't move either load again.....not fun...old PR was 275#, was trying to equal that today...maybe next time

42yom 182 lbs
I just love doing DL! It was quiet today in my military gym, so I was able to DL barefoot, oh what a difference! I changed a few things from my normal routine. I tried the mixed grip and I like it. Also, I stomped my feet before a rep, like I had seen on one of the vids. It seemed to have worked... I felt really strong today and it showed

Warm up DL
135lbs x 15 reps
205 x 10 reps

DL 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

245/255/265/275(New PR)/280(New PR)/270(old PR)/270.

This was the perfect build up it felt like, because I felt strong throughout. Slight back arch on the 280, but I muscled through it.

Post WOD: box jump scales (12",18",24",33",12") 3 sets of 15 reps.

Hand stops bleeding but no tape, so I put a piece of paper towel between bar and right hand.

400 again. Hit PR twice, so I'm happy, hand is shredded. So for my last 2 sets I went and did more newly acquired muscle-ups.

Cool down - 4 mile bike ride home.

Good day.

#115 ProPain:

Looks to me like you're spending way too much time at the bottom setting up; makes it hard to stay tight and ready to go. Work on making your set-up automatic (foot position, hand position, back arch, breath, etc.), and it'll be much easier to just rip that sucker off the floor.

I didn't go for a 7th rep. The final 200 rep went up slowly, and while fighting it, I lost my form and tweaked something in my left lower back or hip.

Afterward - 2 circuits of unweighted hyperextensions, hanging knee raises, dips (unassisted, stopping ROM where my sternum feels weird), chin-ups

I've got a question. I have been deadlifting for a while and have always been a "purist". (No wraps, just chalk and grip strength) Today I was maxing out at the gym and there was no chalk around so was having trouble holding the bar when I was going for my new PR of 375. So I blasphemed and borrowed a pair of wraps. I subsequently not only got my new PR easily but added another 10# and got 385# easily (probably could get even more). Here's my question. Is it truly blasphemy to max out with a natural grip and then on days like this do the last couple reps wrapped in order to get the most out of the workout? Joel

m/28/187/6'

#134 - It's not a pure PR IMHO. You used a tool other then your body and mind to accomplish the feat. You were relying on the straps instead of yourself. If you didn't get the most out of your own grip, then you didn't work hard enough.

My 2 cents. Take with salt.

i know we don't do requests, but I have to agree with previous posters that it smells like a 5k tomorrow...
also, the DL today gave me a real hankering to do a CFT sometime next week...

Thanks Angry G. I agree that it isn't necessarily a pure PR and there will always be an asterick by the weight for me, but it gets the rest of my body the ability to truly work at there maximum effort. I would never use the wraps until after I have already exhausted the natural grip. (I guess I probably sound a little like a Barry Bonds advocate huh.)

For the first time in my entire life i started seeing stars, now i know what that statement means. You really do see stars or many many white flashes.

Joel (#134) - If you look at the olympic weightlifting events, most guys there wrap their knees. Seems to me the logic of "if you use straps, then you're using something other than your body" is too strict according to the olympic rules. Same thing for "bench press shirts" which I think are allowed at weight events (not entirely sure). However, I think it is a more impressive feat if you can do the lift without any special devices. I found that when I used to use straps, I would disengage more of my upper body during the lift, transforming my arms simply into human chains. Proper form makes this exercise a full body one.

By the way didn't use no chalk, salt, wraps or a backstrap...all i had were my own grip and ba.l.l.s

My back is not cooperating. Did 315 (405 is my pr)and it didn't feel so good. Put 335# on, got about 3" off the deck and knew it was gonna hurt me bad if I finished. did 6 more sets of 225# X 3. Concentrated on good form and no back pain. I hate being injured....

whoops... 6 more sets of 225# X 5

This is my first week doing CF. I did hex-bar deadlifts, but I wasn't sure what kind of rest to take between sets, so I rested just long enough to change the weight and do it again. Any suggestions for how to be successful with CF?

Felt good to DL. I'm in no shape to be pulling 400+, but once the groundlock is broken, the only thing that's going to make me blow the lift is an injury. A very emotional lift (for me at least), but now I am doing it with strict form as well.

#141 - While I can't argue rules at events, I can argue those events tend to also be with people specializing for the event.

CrossFitters on the other hand are specializing for nothing, ready for everything. If the car is on your buddy you aren't going to go grab your straps. Heck no, you'll lift that car.

I have used the "human chain" thought process for quite some time, glad to see others are using it as well.

#171 Rob,

I see no one has responded to your sumo-deadlift question, so I will attempt to help with your answer, however, be warned that I am not the most qualified to do so.

It is my understanding that the sumo-dead lift is generally easier on the lower back, with more power generating from the legs. The regular deads focus more (not completely, mind you), on lower back strength.

Since we have ME Squat days and the like, and to maximize my back strength, I opt for regular deads. I do not switch it up, so I can track my progress. (To tell you the truth, I have never done sumo-style deads)

But then again, it's your workout. Hopefully this helps.

This felt great...hands are shredded but that's ok!

I reckon that's pretty close to my max, at least with good form. This is my first crossfit workout that I did in an air conditioned environment. Damn that makes a difference.

Oh yeah, and no straps, no gloves, no hooks, no wraps, no belt, etc...etc...ad nauseam. Just chalk, muscle, and iron. love it.

Anyway, made up yesterday's WOD:

Felt very sickly after that 1. Will be making up the ded's on a day that doesn't involve legs.

Random Warm up (squats, sit ups, push ups, pull ups) x 2

Wod as Rx'd:

225, 255, 265, 275, 295, 305 (p.r.), 275

The first three sets were the best form I've ever had doing DL's. I was really happy w/ it so I decided to jump up to 295, which I got, but the form started to disintegrate. Still, I thought it was okay so I went for a p.r. @ 305 which I was able to do, but the form got even worse, so I then went down to 275 the last rep in order to end on a good note.

Real happy w/ today. Finally started using my legs to push up, instead of just pulling w/ my back.

Then did 2 sets of 10 knees to elbow for fun.

New to CF; Question about DL and knees.
Apologize in advance if I missed it in videos... I watched as many as I could before this DL-centric WOD today.

Video said bar makes contact with shins then legs all the way up to top of movement. I tried this today (usually use way more lower back; less legs) and my shins and knees (especially knees) feel banged up and sore. Am I hearing correctly that bar slides up entire leg during DL movement? Or can it reside an inch away instead? Please advise this newbie.
