We do just one? Then we're done?

Comment #1 - Posted by: Minired at August 27, 2007 7:30 PM

Dude, i did this in like 30 seconds... like yesterday.

Comment #2 - Posted by: Sethy Poo at August 27, 2007 7:31 PM

Whoa! Thanks Coach! Good day for skills work, need to practice handstands and deadlift anyway.

Comment #3 - Posted by: Y. Zhou at August 27, 2007 7:36 PM

sounds a little... easy?

Comment #4 - Posted by: Stefan G at August 27, 2007 7:40 PM

OK My wife already thinks that I've gone nuts with this crossfit stuff. When she sees me walking off down the road like this its going to be the last straw!

Comment #5 - Posted by: Greg at August 27, 2007 7:42 PM

Really #2?,

I'll call your 30 seconds. 400 metres at about 1 metre per step - will be about 200 lunges per leg (Scientific wild-ass guess). It will be plenty and it's gonna hurt. 1 step every second will equal about 6.5 minutes.

Comment #6 - Posted by: jon h at August 27, 2007 7:43 PM

So this means that tomorrow is...

I don't even wanna think about it.

Comment #7 - Posted by: Chris H at August 27, 2007 7:44 PM

I gotta agree with jon h. 400m walking lunge is gonna hurt. I still cringe when WODs have us running 400s.

Comment #8 - Posted by: Kyle S. at August 27, 2007 7:45 PM

I'm still recovering from a strained muscle in my lower back during the last heavy front squat workout, so I'm glad that this is something I'll be able to do. Although I must admit, it seems a little on the easy side.

Comment #9 - Posted by: MB at August 27, 2007 7:46 PM

What?? far-out workout idea. Simple. Elegant. I like it; thanks for keeping up the creativity Coach.

#4 Stefan - I suspect it won't be nearly as easy as it first appears. I'm thinking it ain't gonna be easy at all. Actually, I'm guessing this is going to be a prime candidate for some sweet DOMS in quads and glutes

Comment #10 - Posted by: mike peiman at August 27, 2007 7:47 PM

first crossfit workout with this one,,,this workout may be underestimated

Comment #11 - Posted by: laytart at August 27, 2007 7:48 PM

I agree with #10... this WILL be painful.

Comment #12 - Posted by: Frank at August 27, 2007 7:49 PM

Question for anyone on the forum who might have some nutritional background.

A sports medicine nutritionist told me last week that having a glass of milk after a workout was more beneficial for recovery time than a fruit smoothie with whey protein. Is she right by saying this?

Comment #13 - Posted by: CBR Chitown at August 27, 2007 7:51 PM

30 seconds per 400 seth?. 2 minute mile? That's pretty quick.

Comment #14 - Posted by: Jay at August 27, 2007 7:52 PM

sethy poo...

fyi, here's the world record (and top 5 fastest finishes) for the 400meter sprint distance. I'll call Guinness in the morning and let them know you smashed the record, doing lunges, no less...

1. 43.18 Michael Johnson August 26, 1999 Sevilla
2. 43.29 Harry (Butch) Reynolds August 17, 1988 Zürich
3. 43.50 Quincy Watts August 5, 1992 Barcelona
Jeremy Wariner August 7, 2007 Stockholm
5. 43.81 Danny EverettJune 26, 1992 New Orleans


this one's gonna hurt

Comment #15 - Posted by: doron at August 27, 2007 7:52 PM

This will be painful about two days later. I led a workout a couple weeks ago that included 3 pull ups, 5 burpees, run ~70m, walking lunge ~70m X 20 minutes. About six rounds (around 400m) of that and your legs are like rubber. Legs were sore for 5 days!

Comment #16 - Posted by: theresa at August 27, 2007 7:52 PM

Ouch.

Comment #17 - Posted by: Kevin at August 27, 2007 7:53 PM

Easy? This is a classic Crossfit workout. It appears easy on paper, but I can assure you (done properly) this will be far from "easy." Go ahead Dude (#2) post a video of your like 30 second performance...

Comment #18 - Posted by: ScottT at August 27, 2007 7:54 PM

I think they guy was making a joke about the 30 seconds. You guys know this thing? A joke. Well, maybe not.

Yeah, and get ready for this one. I did this in triathlon practice for school once, and I didn't even finish it.

This wouldn't be an easy day.

Comment #19 - Posted by: Samuel D. Nix at August 27, 2007 8:03 PM

think 200ish squats, kind of, non stop. Fun :)

Comment #20 - Posted by: newman at August 27, 2007 8:03 PM

This will be far from easy

Comment #21 - Posted by: Tim Hamilton at August 27, 2007 8:03 PM

Oh man, glad the next 3 days for me are 1/2 intensity. =)

Comment #22 - Posted by: Angry G & L at August 27, 2007 8:04 PM

#13. depends on what is in the smoothie. Milk is broken down to two basic proteins; casein (not sure I spelled that right) and whey. Casein is a good protein but whey is digested easier and has a wide variety of amino acids. To have a good post recovery drink it should be close to a meal in nutritional value. If your smoothie is similar to meal then it is better than milk. If it is just whey in a regular smoothie then is not too far off from milk. Hopefully that is helpful.

Comment #23 - Posted by: Scott P at August 27, 2007 8:07 PM

Good thing I didn't plan on using my legs for the next couple of days. This will suck! I can't wait.

Comment #24 - Posted by: JPW at August 27, 2007 8:11 PM

Just straight walking lunges or are they weighted?

Comment #25 - Posted by: superg at August 27, 2007 8:17 PM

this is going to be painful...

Comment #26 - Posted by: zach at August 27, 2007 8:20 PM

Good one.

Comment #27 - Posted by: rob miller CFSC at August 27, 2007 8:23 PM

Mike P,

I second that prediction of sweet, sweet DOMS. Mine will probably be delayed only by 100m from the start and last until rest day.

Comment #28 - Posted by: timh at August 27, 2007 8:23 PM

400m perfect walking lunges will prove to be a great WOD

Comment #29 - Posted by: dan colson at August 27, 2007 8:25 PM

superg,

They are unweighted. Depending how I go tomorrow, I might think about taking an O-bar with me, overhead. Probably not...

Comment #30 - Posted by: timh at August 27, 2007 8:26 PM

No more easy talk ... or Coach is gonna hit us with something nasty ... Filthy fifty/Twisted Twelve looming in the midst?!?

Comment #31 - Posted by: MGold at August 27, 2007 8:28 PM

For anyone who thinks this one is going to be easy, we did these as a rugby 7s workout and almost the entire team was incapacitated by the end. Its slow and can be done but it really gets you after.

Comment #32 - Posted by: MichaelE at August 27, 2007 8:29 PM

this will be a great WOD but lets get to what is really important here: these tony blauer videos. i'm not gonna lie, they're pretty much great.

Comment #33 - Posted by: Rash at August 27, 2007 8:30 PM

serves me right. today i did the WOD that the girls did a few days back. Annie seriously is a machine.

5 rounds for time of

1 squat snatch
10 OHS
1 squat snatch
10 OHS
15 pull-ups

13:28 and i only used 45#!

my legs are fried; walking lunges are going to be interesting...

Comment #34 - Posted by: nadia shatila at August 27, 2007 8:35 PM

I'm fearing for my bum already

Comment #35 - Posted by: Speal at August 27, 2007 8:42 PM

Looks so simple on the paper, I just know it's going to be a crippler.

#14 any 'sports nutritionist' that says that must get kick backs from the dairy industry. What works is whatever is best for you, I've gone off whey (and most dairy) and switched to hemp protein and noticed that my physique felt a little 'tighter' and I'm less mucousy. Some hemp protein, fruit, flax or healthy oils all
blended up does the trick for me.

You just gotta play with things until you find your best combination...

Comment #36 - Posted by: gaucoin at August 27, 2007 8:44 PM

Oh this is gonna be good. People at the track will think I'm nuts but that's okay.

Comment #37 - Posted by: Boston 26.2er at August 27, 2007 8:58 PM

#14 - CBR Chitown

I would say the fruit juice smoothy with whey protein is probably better. Right after a workout your muscles are absorbing glucose to replenish their glycogen supplies. Protein also gets pulled in to start muscle repair. Fruits are loaded with fructose which gets converted to glucose pretty easily. With a scoop of protein powder your have a lot of whey protein which is also broken down very quickly and can enter blood stream

With milk you have lactose which gets broken down to glucose and galactose easily in some people and in others just gives them diarrhea and gas. So that is a pretty negative thing right off the bat. Also you want simple sugars which fructose is, lactose needs to be processed first to be absorbed into blood. A glass of milk will also not contain as much protein (unless it is a big glass) as a scoop of protein powder. Also the casein protein is very slowly broken down, so it will not hit the muscles as quickly. This can be a good thing as whey is digested very quickly, but you are kind of looking for quick in a post workout drink.

She probably read some article that came out awhile back saying milk was better than sports drinks after a workout. Well that assumes you are not lactose intolerant and that you don't put protein in your sports drink.

Note, I am not a sports medicine nutritionist, just a lowly molecular and cellular biology major who read a lot about this in the past. So I would say this is what I believe to be true, but I could be wrong.

What happened to the girl who did 400m walking lunges?

Disaster! Get it. Dis-assed-her!

Comment #39 - Posted by: Crossfit Salad at August 27, 2007 9:11 PM

Hey I was wondering where I could find workout logs to download and print? Is there anything available?

Comment #40 - Posted by: chadlee51 at August 27, 2007 9:32 PM

for those who think this sounds easy try wearing 40lb weight vest, and touch knee of rear leg to ground each step. Then post how far you got b4 U quit.

Comment #41 - Posted by: gene at August 27, 2007 9:35 PM

Must...not...underestimate...

Comment #42 - Posted by: Danny at August 27, 2007 9:46 PM

I'm new to crossfit and LOVING it! I'll try to do this tommorow wearing body armor as a variation.

Comment #43 - Posted by: Doc at August 27, 2007 9:52 PM

Age - 32, Ht - 68", Wt - 200#

CFWU(10) x3, sub in HSPU

WOD - 400 lunges (I'm on a ship, not exactly easy to know what counts as 400m. I think a meter a lunge is a fair guess).

Total - 19:15

Did it on the tabata protocol. First off, I'm on a ship, so I had to be a tad careful kissing the knee to the ground (non-skid can rip flesh off of you). Sheesh, I knew work-out was gonna hurt from previous experience with the 100m lunge, 800m run, 100m lunge workout. Almost collapsed coming down the ladderwell afterwards, so I had to really use the hand rails. Tomorrow the DOMS are seriously gonna hit big time, I know it.

Yes, that's a warning. Be VERY careful going down stairs after this work-out. Whatever muscles help you go down stairs are trashed after this.

Comment #44 - Posted by: Nuke-Marine at August 27, 2007 9:59 PM

A little on the easy side? I wish I was half the athlete as those that think this is a little on the easy side. You are all studs.

Try keeping your hands on your hips, your chest nice and upright, your lead foot nice and flat and your rear knee just tapping the ground on each step. Good times!

Comment #45 - Posted by: freddy c. at August 27, 2007 10:06 PM

400m walking lunges is going to dominate you

Comment #46 - Posted by: Jason Hussey at August 27, 2007 10:08 PM

there is a mystery in this workout.. maybe the coach wants us to learn sumthing from this one... damn u coach

Comment #47 - Posted by: Kajan at August 27, 2007 10:23 PM

advice on the deadlift... juss make sure the best possible form is looking up all the way as chest is stick far out and ur grip is fully on the bar like ur those coins held in ur hands while ur at the casino. and while ur pulling up juss keep looking up with chest out and u'll pretty much feel ur legs doing the work. don't give up just push it. message for women its like probably being pregnant getting the child out.

Comment #48 - Posted by: Kajan at August 27, 2007 10:32 PM

Had to think about it for a second before I feared it, but I'm sure shaking in my boots now that I have

I think Im might just go get it over with right now so I can wake up with some nice DOMS

Comment #49 - Posted by: Cullen at August 27, 2007 10:42 PM

Will be doing this on the treadmill. Fun!

Comment #50 - Posted by: Cal Jones at August 27, 2007 10:42 PM

Interestingly, the walking lunge is the position you are in when you are picking asparagus (I guess cutting is really what your doing) and Ist generation Filipino farm workers stayed in this postion for at least a ten hour workday. And, many being Kali practitioners, would spar with the asparagus knives for fun on their lunch break!

Comment #51 - Posted by: Ray Rosales at August 27, 2007 11:07 PM

I though it sounded too easy, but after reading everyone's comments I look forward to the pain. I am going to go go go for it

Comment #52 - Posted by: nancy at August 27, 2007 11:18 PM

this is madness. how am i going to walk down stairs the next day?

Comment #53 - Posted by: Big P at August 27, 2007 11:18 PM

oh yeah, sorry, this was in the Stockton area during the 40's.

Comment #54 - Posted by: Ray Rosales at August 27, 2007 11:44 PM

this probably will hurt more than doing 300 squats for time.

Comment #55 - Posted by: Patrick at August 27, 2007 11:51 PM

First WOD after an 86 km ultra trail race over the weekend. I don't think it could possibly be more painful for me than this one right here. Can't wait!

Comment #56 - Posted by: newscrumhalf at August 28, 2007 12:19 AM

Hmmmm...Just waiting for the first post "as Rx'ed", and then the time. And what it felt like.

Can't wait to say 321GO.

Comment #57 - Posted by: Echo at August 28, 2007 12:30 AM

CFWU, WOD as rxd, 19m25s, this was painful...anyone thinking its not going to be is in for a surprise...i am dreading tomorrow!

Comment #58 - Posted by: charlie from aus at August 28, 2007 12:48 AM

Wow that felt good, my legs haven't burned like this in a long time.

paused for ~10 seconds after every 20 lunges, sort of tabata style, although towards the end the pause increased a little to "until I felt like I could do 20 more lunges", otherwise as Rx'd - about 17:00

I just kinda collapsed and lay down on the field at the end, but when I remembered to stop my watch it was at 17:56 I think that was about 90 seconds after I finished, but I was pretty wasted, it could have been 10 seconds or 5 minutes for all I know.

Comment #59 - Posted by: Cullen at August 28, 2007 1:06 AM

Only been doing this a few weeks and I am sure this one is going to be painful, and I know im going to get some odd looks if i do this on a treadmill or on the street - either way its going to be fun!

PS Ray Rosales - do you train with Guro Inosanto - thats the only place i've ever heard the asparagus story?

Comment #60 - Posted by: amgengland at August 28, 2007 1:10 AM

The more I think about it the more tomorrow looks like a day sitting will be painfull exersise.

Comment #62 - Posted by: Scott C. at August 28, 2007 3:09 AM

Did about 250m in just over 15 minutes. Killed me I can barely walk. Hopefully next time this comes up I will be able to do the full 400m in under 20mins.

Don't underestimate this its one of the hardest crossfits I have done.

Comment #63 - Posted by: Chris B at August 28, 2007 3:24 AM

I was wrong. Definitely harder than it looked.

395 steps in ~19:00 as RX'd.

Comment #69 - Posted by: Mary Ann at August 28, 2007 4:10 AM

85 steps in 2:55 for the 1st 100m, then had to call it due to rain. Legs burning after 50m.

Comment #70 - Posted by: rpo at August 28, 2007 4:12 AM

12:42 - 487 steps. Full hip extension and knee lightly touching ground each rep. Strides stayed long until the last 100 meters....I came close to falling over near the end and had to shorten my strides to stay upright. The older couple that walks the neighborhood in the morning couldn't help but stop and watch the bizarre sight.

Quads, hams and butt on fire. Glutes were trying to cramp during the walk home. It's painful now and I'll bet the resulting DOMS will leave a lasting impression.

6 min snatch set: 54L/567R. Hand switch at 3 minutes. Didn't have as much power as usual; glutes/hams definitely affected by the lunges.


Comment #71 - Posted by: Kelly Moore at August 28, 2007 4:12 AM

Recovering from hip flexor injury, can't do lunges yet. Did this instead:

4 rounds of:
50 OHS (broom stick)
30 box steps (30-35 cm box), holding a 12 kg DB extended over head (one arm)

15:45

Switched arm after 15 reps of the box steps. All reps slow and controlled to avoid re-injury. Didn't rest much at all.

400 m lunges would probably have been harder, but I'll feel the DOMS tomorrow for sure.

Comment #72 - Posted by: jon at August 28, 2007 4:14 AM

I knocked Fran out today, due to little children sickness and some other stuff-

5:40, PR by 2 minutes 7 seconds, only my second Fran. Looking forward to getting under 5- then 4.

Comment #73 - Posted by: AMlove at August 28, 2007 4:15 AM

I have a 25-hour shift today so I will do this tomorrow. From reading the comments i am psyched to go out and get going on this. Thanks all for the inspiration.

The second rule of CrossFit: the simpler it appears on the web page, the more agonizing it will be.

In respect and preparation for this WOD, I shall begin my day with a zone breakfast of 3 blocks of 800 mg motrin. I shall also unwrap my special stash of potty mouth words and have them at the ready. They'll certainly be needed by the end of the first 100m.

as rx'd 14:55 (395 steps) - back knee kissing ground each time. Toward the end back knee was slamming into the ground uncontrollably. This one really burns, my legs were like ball park franks that plump when you cook them.

Concerning the article on "High School PT". That is what High School Physical Education should be about. I wish it was that way over 25 years ago when I was in High School.

Comment #86 - Posted by: Andy W. at August 28, 2007 5:09 AM

I need a quick show sizing answer. I’m at a hotel in Atlantic city and there is a Nike outlet nearby. I’ve searched the message board and cannot find an answer to my question. I’m usually a size 10.5 in shoes. The Nike free’s 8.0 only seem to come in exact sizes (8, 9,10, 11, etc. ) I tried on both the size 10 and 11 in the store. The 10’s felt really tight, while the 11’s felt about right. My question is this, how sung should they be? The kids they have working in the store are no help. I understand that the shoes take a while to get used to, but should they be a bit uncomfortable to begin with?
I hate to pass on a good deal. They will run me 31 bucks if I can figure out which size to get.

Comment #87 - Posted by: Team (of one ) Lakeland at August 28, 2007 5:12 AM

No track, so i measured the distance covered by one lunge as approx 3 ft, 1 yard. My lunge was knee over foot, rear knee kissing the ground. 400m = 440 yards. I will be doing 440 lunges. I think i just cried a little.

Comment #88 - Posted by: THE TODD at August 28, 2007 5:14 AM

If anyone thinks walking lunges seem "too easy", try holding barbells to add resistance... say 25 lbs each hand. That'll make it interesting.

goal = 100 walking lunges each leg (200 total steps)
managed 110 each (took me across the playground where I do the CFWU to the street, however far that is, not timed)

I've never thought walking lunges were easy, especially if they're done right and after a night of "Fight Gone Worse".

Knees are pretty bruised from touching ground to concrete every step. If it comes up again, I'll try to find some grass. This wod was especially painful after doing Fran yesterday and playing softball and indoor soccer last night.

1 day behind.
"FRAN"
CFWU x3 pullups dips 5reps
Scaled to 75lbs
6:38:06
If I can get it down to sub 5min then I'll scale the weight up.

Can't wait for this WOD tomorrow. From the look of everyone's posts I'll need someone to help me walk home by the time I'm done.

Comment #101 - Posted by: AlanR at August 28, 2007 6:09 AM

I'm not ashamed to say 24:00 is how long it took me. My legs felt as though they were forged from iron by the end. Had to stop numerous times, but kept tight form throughout.
**suggestion for future WOD**

add a handful, say 6-8, 50 meter sprints, immediately following this insanity. I did a few and it really felt quite good, not that my legs worked properly.

Krav Maga sunrise class for a warmup. Then scoot home and out the front door. Did it as Rxd in 30-step sets with pauses to shake out my quads.

362 steps (or maybe 392 - I may have lost track of sets) - 14:54.

First and only WOD I haven't had to scale.

I love walking lunges! Will do this WOD in the driveway tomorrow.

For those who said "easy, THAT'S IT" HAHAHA, i would like to see you in the morning. My legs have never felt like this before. That was probably one of the hardest WOD I've done yet.

Sorry didn't count steps, ttied to just not puke!!

Pretty new to this... Didn't have time for Fran yesterday. Began morning with simplified Fran (45 lb bar, jumping pullups).
10 min rest - then taught heavy intervall indoor cycling class 45 min.
Another 10 minutes rest then walking lunges on treadmill 400 m = 400 steps split in 8 x 50.
~30-40 s rest inbetween. Horrible!!
Time: 13.24. Might have cheated a little by not touching every knee... Will still be painful over the next few days... ouch!

Comment #109 - Posted by: Jonna at August 28, 2007 6:19 AM

My favorite comments from those who have not yet tried the w/o:

"We do just one? Then we're done?"

"sounds a little... easy?"

"Just straight walking lunges or are they weighted?"

Almost as good as asking do we ever work abs?, or when do we do cardio?

I have the soccer team I work with do lunges, usually 50 meters at a time for a few sets, but I have never made them do 400 meters straight through for time (or done so myself), yet...

Ow! Definately Disaster or Disashim as the case may be.

Only made it to about 175m 140+ reps, got dizzy, saw stars and lost count, or something like that. Took me 9:54 just to do that. Quads are screaming and my butt hurts.

We had our first Pukie the clown today in our group. I think my bud got noxious from the burning cross ties on the railroad. Sure is dry down here.

450 mtr walking lunges, knee kiss ground and back straight every rep. 469 steps in 30:58 min.
walked funny afterwards, squating was realy funny
Liked this one.
have fun, Johan

Comment #114 - Posted by: Johan Nederhof/Rotterdam at August 28, 2007 6:38 AM

#85 - get the 11's. I like them snug, but loose enough to slip off without redoing the laces.

I normally wear a thin pair of socks with mine since my feet tend to sweat (just a little). If I didn't wear socks, the stench would be arresting.

Good Luck - Enjoy.

#41 - re logs. I just built an excel spreadsheet with columns for date, WOD name (if any), a column for how done (as rx or mod), one for time, and a very big remarks column, where I add amplifying data. Example:

Comment #121 - Posted by: SSgt A at August 28, 2007 6:54 AM

Does anyone have advice on how to tame advanced hand calluses and blisters? I've been at it with Cross Fit steadily since April, and let them go a little too long. They became large, and I've recently been losing healthy skin to tearing and exposing some tissue. More critically, they have become debilitating making the grip for pull-ups, Olympic lifts and deadlifts difficult and painful. I've recently tried chalk and, now, gloves with no relief. I need more active treatment and strategy. Any input is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Comment #122 - Posted by: Kyle at August 28, 2007 6:54 AM

#88 - Go for the 11's, your feet will expand while you are working out/running and you will need the extra room. Most running shoes are sized about 1/2 size off from what you would normally wear anyway. Sounds like a good deal although I am not a Nike fan.

Comment #123 - Posted by: mhlane at August 28, 2007 6:57 AM

52/M/159/(5'5" (maybe relevant here))

Did this on a treadmill, which I'm guessing made it much easier than in the "real" world. Set it for 2% incline and 1.3 mph, and just ground it out at that pace.

11:55, 435 steps. Every step with a light "kneebrush" on the trailing leg. The treadmill pretty much guarantees that you won't take any breaks.

Comment #124 - Posted by: davidjwood at August 28, 2007 6:57 AM

#120 Kyle:: For calluses, usse an emery board to file 'em down, almost flat. Do this at least every 3rd day.

If they've already torn, search the discussion board . . . much conversation already there about treatment strategies.

#85: I agree with John Messano, get the 11's. Your feet will swell slightly when exercising so if the shoes are snug in the store, they are probably too small. As a general rule, any time I've bought cheap shoes and sacrificed a fit where my feet go "aah", i've regretted it. Good shoes are essential; that's why Lee went to Gettysburg! BTW, as long as you're in AC, go to the White Horse or White House Sub Shop. It's White something. your hotel can tell you where. Subs to die for, a local institution. Just thinking about it makes me hungry. Enjoy.

Comment #138 - Posted by: Norma at August 28, 2007 8:02 AM

Thank you for any help...

So, with each step we take a lunge, correct? And, how far down do we go? Until our Knee touches the ground? And, how long are the strides supposed to be--natural walking stride or as long as we can reach?

Thank you.

Sinc, --g.

Comment #139 - Posted by: gabriel at August 28, 2007 8:05 AM

Estimated about 500 steps, lost count after 90 or so. I couldn't control knee well enough to have it *lightly* touch the ground, so I was a little above that. Maybe next time I'll break out the knee pads. Went down and then back up hill. Uphill much easier.

Had to skip Sunday's workout so I did it today along with the lunges.

32yoa male/still 230 lbs. after three weeks of Crossfit

3 x CFWU (less pull-ups)

3 rounds of following:
- 21 / 15 / 9 reps of 95 lbs thruster and gravitron assist pull-ups
- 125m track lap of lunges
- 125m track lap of light jog to shake out the lunges

total time: 42 minutes
felt good and I kept the intensity medium-high.

I'm going to San Antonio for three weeks this time next week - first time to Texas for me!

Comment #144 - Posted by: tks99 at August 28, 2007 8:15 AM

Woohoo, finally back on the official workouts.

No track. My stride's about 3 feet, so did it as 440 lunges. 15:22, knee to grass (bad bruise on one knee, so didn't want to clang down).

Pretty interminable :-)

Comment #147 - Posted by: Matt Shatzkin at August 28, 2007 8:25 AM

In response to the article about high school PT. I found Crossfit about a year ago and have been hooked ever since. Shortly after I began doing it I incorporated it into my high school PE classes that I teach. It has made such a difference. Most of the kids seem to really enjoy it and ask to do it on a daily basis. It has completely changed my classes for the better. I scan the home page and affiliates pages daily for new workouts that I can have my classes do. I even have a group of about 10 advanced/extra motivated students who join me after school to do the WOD's. I am so happy to have found crossfit. It has dramatically improved my fitness levels, has made me a better teacher and has added to the fitness and enjoyment of exercise for my students.

My neighbors already think I'm crazy from throwing a duct taped basketball against the side of my house, running sprints like a maniac followed by push-ups in the grass etc .. This will put things over the edge.. Ha!

I won't get to this one for a few days. I'm getting ready for the urbanathlon in NYC on the 29th of Sept. Alternating crossfit wod's w/ distance runs.

I've noticed two things getting ready for this race..

1. I truly miss following the 3 on, 1 off format and doing the WOD the day it comes up.
2. People who run long distance are insane. Even while working on my form, I still feel pain in my knees as I pass the 5 mile mark.

My PT crazy co-worker joined me and I kept losing count between swear words, but did approximately 300ish lunges in 23:00. Used my garmin GPS and went slightly over at .25 miles (402m). Also had to hold onto the wall when going down the stairs at work.

Comment #161 - Posted by: Amber at August 28, 2007 9:13 AM

I remember doing a crossfit workout with 100 lunges over a year ago and it destroyed me - lots of DOMS.

Comment #177 - Posted by: Jason at August 28, 2007 9:46 AM

#88

I would definetely go for the bigger pair. I ran in shoes that were too small for me for years and learned that the hard way. You feet expand when you sweat.

I am an avid nike free guy, I've had three pairs. I haven't heard of the 8.0's however but I live in Canada and we get different stuff then you guys in the states. The higher the number the less impact the "free" will have. I would reccomend for crossfit as low as you can go. I train in the 5.0's and they mimic bare feet the best and there is a difference between them and the 7.0's. When I am going on 5k plus runs I put on the 7.0's but for most wods I wear the 5's as they transfer your energy the most efficiently as they have the least amount of cushioning.

This wod is going to kill.

uhhhh... i used to do crazy lunge walks. 100m followed by 20 of those split lunges that we did in martial arts. i would repeat that four or five times. then i would bear crawl the length of the football field. that sucked major donkey %$#@.
i skipped out on this one and did:
push ups 20-1/sit ups 1-20 (alternating)
pull ups x30, x20, x10
power snatches 145 for triples for a few sets

Comment #180 - Posted by: jay at August 28, 2007 9:48 AM

This is my first posted WOD. I started burning so badly that I lost count of my steps. Finished in just under 17 minutes with some sloppy form during the last 100m or so. The worst part was the walk up a pretty steep hill to get back to my house! Love the WOD. Simple but highly effective!

#88,
One of my buddies told me that there are two things people never spend enough money on: child care and running shoes.
Invest a little more and get something that fits properly or your legs/back/mostofyou will probably be feeling it later. My thoughts for what it's worth...

And the only thing i didn't get on the Spear demo is what happened to the first attacker, was he ko in 2 seconds or it's just he was left alone while taking care of the second attacker?

2 months doing crossfit. Awesome workout. I wish I had discovered it sooner. First post.

jon h #6 awesome prediction other than the time. I was looking forward in completing this thing in 6.5 minutes. But when that time came and I saw I was just passing the halfway mark on the track my bottom lip started quivering. Now I can barely walk up stairs.

My first Crossfit workout after being sold the benefits by friends last week. An absolute leg buster after 3 weeks on vacation being lazy.... 18 mins, I lost count of the steps after 200m when my main effort was trying not to collapse.

Really interested in the crossfit workouts, a little confused however, are you supposed to follow the WODs rigidly? As some guys are supplementing / skipping days. I take it you have no idea what the WOD is until it is posted? Do they run on a cycle? Your hel;p will be appreciated!

yeah, try to follow the workouts as closely as you can! remember that the crossfit program is geared towards a total body fitness, so they work everything you've got, (even what you didn't know you had) which is why it's set up the way it is. fell free to add an exersize or two for the day but remember that tomorrow is a new day and you have no idea what they will throw at you. i for one am glad i rested yesterday and didn't go running, cause i'd be killin.

even if you have to scale down the weight or take a break, try your best to finish the whole workout, cause if you pusgh yourself (safely) then you will see huge improvements.

i've only been in it for 3 weeks now and my friends and family are already telling me they can see a huge difference, and i feel it and see it myself as well. just keep pluggin, you'll get it.

did it in just over 20 minutes. Took me 349 lunges. Although now after reading most people's posts, I'm starting to think that maybe I underestimated 400m. The track I was running on was 837 meters, or so the sign said. Really random distance for a track in my opinion, but I'm not an expert. I tried to go exactly halfway, but as it wasnt quite circular, I'm thinking I must have underestimated. Still hurts like nobody's business though.

Did my 400m route that I stepped off on my street. Then, I got to wondering how accurate my normal loop is. I then measured my lunge stride and it was 4' (long legs, full extension). I took 316 strides which = 385 meters. So, I did another 10 lunge steps to make up for it!

After I did this, I suggested to "The Assassin" that he do this 50 steps at a time and take a 30 second break between rounds of steps.

He got it in 12:09 and 271 steps, so I am thinking this is the way to go.

Crossfit is genius! My shoulders hurt so bad today that I seriously thought I contracted tetanus. I wanted so badly to work out but coulkd think of nothing that wouldn't strain my shoulders. This is perfect!

400m walking lunges for time:
12:55
~340-360 steps

measured the back yard, converted it to meters and did it up and back in laps. I can say that my general fitness has improved dramatically over the last few weeks as this was not a challenge to my cardiovascular system. That having been said, my legs are thick right now! I got about 40 lunges in before I rested the first time. I'd walk at least 15 lunges before resting through the whole thing and rested never longer than 15 seconds or so (ok maybe 20 once or twice). I finished pretty quickly it looks like. Thank you Coach, for today.

nb. Immediately post-lunge, I 'ran' 200m uphill, walked another 400m, 'ran' 200m downhill backwards, and jogged 200m to my house. Then I stretched my hamstrings as much as possible. They're still sore as hell, but this really helped loosen the knots. I left the vest on because that was the quickest way to get home!

I can't recommend this strongly enough. I feel much better now than I did immediately after the lunge-a-thon when my hams were seizing up and threatening to windowshade up into my butt.

13:01 as rx'ed on a soccer field, 398 steps. Can't believe how long that took me, I estimated the field to be 100m long so I hope I was right. My legs are ruined, anyone have any ideas on how to help with the muscle recovery? Salt bath? Hot/cold therapy?

Post-4 100m 50% sprints with 20 reps of an exercise in between for rest.

Ouch! I did this in my back alley. I have pretty short legs so I did 439 lunges in 33:28.

I have anterior compartment syndrome in my right leg and its pretty inflamed now. My foot was numb by about half way. I probably should have stopped then. Now I have to hobble myself to the physiotherapist and explain myself. She's not going to be too impressed ;)

Long time lurker, long time WoDer, first time poster.

18 minutes even. 367 steps. 100 straight through, then 50, then I went until failure the rest of the steps.

I tried stairs after and that didn't happen. I did a set of pull ups and couldn't stand when I dropped off the bar.

Good times. Tomorrow is going to be a fun day.

I'll admit I underestimated this before I began. I didn't get a full 400m, it was only 1/5 mile. I think that puts me roughly 50m short, not real sure. In any case, 311 lunges-14:53.

First time poster, semi-long-time reader. Been doing the workouts seriously for a month or so now.

400 lunges, about 30 mins give or take (1 1/2 episodes of PTI on the iPod). 10 steps and then rested, was looking to complete the entire set vs going for time. Seems like there are some insanely fit people on here. Hope to work myself up to that.

Did 400 lunges which I think works out to about 400m, but not entirely sure. It was 1.25 laps around the boat pond in Central Park. Yes, the tourists were fascinated. No, I did not see Pale Male, the red-tailed hawk. My knees are a bit red now. 17:32. Good thing I did not do that in my gym as I may have grunted and hence my life would be in danger.

Took me 22:48; took the students anywhere between 18 - 44 min.

Umm, Ouch? That about sums up this workout.

WU = Some muscle ups, KB swings, jump rope, wall ball. Enough of each to work up a good sweat.

I am not too sure on the exact measurements of an outdoor "track" considering the six lanes (that isn't well marked). So I decided to do this in lane 6, start and finish at the same spot. It was probably closer to a "Brand X 400" (which is about a mile long, j/k)

453 Steps = 18:22.

Ran a 1.5 mile fartlek this morning as part of a welcome back PT session. Feels a lot nicer to run in the cool air before the sun rises up.

WOD - 400m lunges in 390 steps at 13:31.31. Wow, my friend and I did an 1/8 mile jog to get our legs loosened up and they felt like jello for the first half. Walking down the stairs from the track felt miserable. Deceivingly evil lunges...

breakfast: run 46 minutes = 6.05 miles

met up w/my buddy @ da gym and took her thru her 2nd CrossFit Warm-up. working on gettin her squat down. had her try both assisted and jumping pull-ups. intro'd deadlift posture. practiced shoulder press form.

then: headed to one of the nicest all-weather tracks in our area at a local high school for our lunges.

WOD:
Jennie & me
363+(?)lunges = 21:27

tried to stay with my buddy and not get too far out in front of her. (after i looked back and saw her hands pushing off the lead leg, had to watch her to make sure she kept form as good as possible, hehe) so about half-way thru as her legs were dying i suggested we finish the last half Tabata-style. had her keep count of lunge reps while i watched the clock and cued the intervals. don't quite remember wut she said our count wuz at the end. know i did more reps cuz i kept walking back to where she wuz so we could lunge together.

legs feel ok at the moment, but i'm sure playing tomorrow nite's basketball game will be interesting....

DJ, good call on the ZOOOOOOBAS! I'll have to try that. Not too sure about the wind resistance. I guess if it worked for M.C. Hammer it could work for me. I always say that.

My knees are a combination of blood and pavement. Coach, that was crazy; and when I say crazy, I mean "like walking down the sidewalk with half a canteloupe on your head muttering 'I'm a hamster; I'm a hamster.' crazy".

THANKS COACH!

Needless to say, I'm hobbling about like I have small pieces of glass in my shoes; any volunteers to carry me upstairs after the Met game is over? I'll throw in a 6 pack. thanks, Coach1 BW:178 Y/A:58

450 yards

(I know it's really 437, but I had a nice 50 yard measured course across three tennis courts nearby. All went well, except I annoyed some tennis players.)

50 yard splits: (m:ss.ss)
0:58.11 - Oh, this is easy
1:16.98 - maybe not so much
1:37.54 - okay, only a third done and it's already sucking this badly?
1:36.64
1:38.15
1:29.96 - maybe if I push it it will be over sooner
1:33.75 - yeah, sure, that's the ticket
1:47.64 - maybe not
2:03.14 - owwwwww.

Total: 14:01.91

As a bonus, my 4 month old son Owen came along with me and completed 350 yards before he fell asleep in the stroller.

my naivete at how difficult this was going to be is betrayed by my decision to run rather than drive the 2 miles from my house to the track. I just finished the most painful and embarrasing 2 mile walk/stumble home in my life - that part of the WOD took 90 minutes.

ive been doing crossfit for 2 months now and i'm hooked, I had to post my first comment though because this workout was ridiculous. keep it coming coach.

A side note, I live on a second floor apartment, after this workout I had to literally put all my weight on the rail as my legs were too weak to carry me up the stairs.

I've been doing the crossfit workouts for about 4 weeks now. Heard about the site at a wrestling clinic. I'm so impressed with the workouts. I'm a high school wrestling coach that is always looking for the most challenging workouts for my wrestlers. I love the simplicity and the mental toughness that these workouts build. Fits perfectly with me and my team.

Did 200m down one side of the street and 200 back, was only heckled once on the way back by a bunch of teenagers who responded with "WTF" and when I stopped to yell CrossFit, they braked and watched... "Cool, why'd you stop?" To breathe was my response as they cheered me to continue and follow me to about 380, then I guess they got bored and sped away... we may have some new followers soon!

Well fellow CrossFitters, I've been doing the CF routine for about 14 months now and this is the first time I've done this workout. I haven't missed too many WOD's so I'm pretty sure this particular one hasn't been done in quite sometime. Many WOD's look easy on paper, and you'd think that I'd learn by now - but, no...I didn't. Holy crap did I ever learn tonight! It took me somewhere around 15 minutes and some 400 odd steps...I lost count when I had to focus on not falling over! Needless to say, this WOD was a killer...especially if you did it correctly(knees kissing the ground people)! And I thought people would look at me funny while doing the workout...how about after the workout - I looked like a stumbling, bumbling drunk! Good on ya' CF!

19:54 - 365 Lunges

Did this at a local park, near the ocean, in the dark at around 8:45. Randomly, two of my neighbors were walking their dogs seperately and stopped to talk to each other in the middle of the park while their dogs played. As I was lunging towards them, their dogs started barking so they both looked in my direction. Soon enough one of them yelled "Brian, is that you?" to which I replied "yeah" lunged a few more times, then said "I'm just being weird."

I like the idea that some people think what we do is a little out there.

So, I started doing crossfit last friday and am still sore from that workout. I read some of the comments last night and was actually sold on this being an easier workout. What a crock. Legs are my biggest strength and this kicked my butt. I couldn't make it to a track so I did it along the lengthy side of a basketball court. 8 times to one end and back is 400 meters by the way, just in case anyone needs a good alternative. However, you will get some funny looks from the basketball players. Especially when the groans kick in.

Comment #468 - Posted by: Dave at August 28, 2007 7:47 PM

Oh, 400 meters? This is going to be easy!!! Until I got to about lunge # 40, umm, when I took a ten second break, the first of what? 20? Oy. This was pure misery. I mean, at least, with the other WOD's I'm not thinking about quitting about halfway through. What the hell, Coach? Another one of your fiendish ideas?

So, I lost count about halfway through, because I was, uhh, trying to not fall over during each lunge. lol.

Took lots of will power! After I trudged back up several hills from the shady workout area my wife met me with tennis racquets ready to play. It was hilarious. There are tennis muscles that lunges kill off. Unless the ball was hit nearby I had no chance of getting to it.

Gotta' give serious, serious props to the sub 10:00 crowd here. Wow! I did 400 walking lunges on grass (for lack of a track) in 20:14 and really thought I was moving along pretty good. Obviously need more work. Also, touched my knee a couple of times a bit too hard--ouch!

Anyway, I'm sure the simple act of stepping off the curb tomorrow will be a real treat.

Didn't have a distance, but just wagged 1 lunge per meter and set a goal of halfway (bit new to this). I admittedly did take several "stand and catch my pulse" breaks, but at least I made it through all 200 walking around my house. My dogs think I'm crazy and my butt muscle hurts...

BTW, for really thick calluses (the kind that are so thick that you can't really feel through them), something that works better than any emery board or pumice stone on the market is this: a microplane grater, fairly fine but not their finest; get it at your local gourmet cooking store. I'm not kidding at all. It works particularly well when the callus is fairly dry and tough, taking off lots of material fast; when you get to more tender skin, it stops being as effective, so it's almost self-regulating (be careful of course). My wife walked a marathon and after her blisters faded I got her feet back to smooth in one session... with a small pile of "grated foot" to show for it. Gross--but really effective.

I thought I was doing the "pack" scale for 250m, but trying to do fractions in your head while doing the WOD is not smart.

on one of those indoor tracks:
370m (duhhh)
16:54

now was it 280 steps, or 380? I think 280 because I was trying to go really deep, psoas stretch deep.

400 meter Walking lunge

Post time and number of steps to comments.

Red letter day for me. This is the 6 month anniversary of my hip resurfacing, so all restrictions on activity came off. I celebrated with this WOD.

400 steps in 15-20 minutes, broken into 20 sets of 20. Done in back yard, so I wasn't sure about distance, but I'm 6'3", so each step should be about a meter. Just very glad could do all the reps.

Borrowed a workout from Coach Dan Colsen from CF Rockford....

I call it Dan Colsen Broken Shoulders:

3 rounds:
25 SDHP (supposed to be a 250m row but I had to sub)
20 OHS 95 lbs
15 standing press (no push) 95lbs

18:14.

This workout was a killer. My shoulders are jacked, and my legs are numb. Took a 10 minute walk on the treadmill just to feel somewhat normal.

Wow, this was probably the most misleading WOD on paper that I have done to date. I thought for sure I would be able to breeze through it but that was certainly not the case.

14:50, 357 steps and it took me 15 minutes to walk 1/4 mile back to my house afterwards!

I've been using Crossfit as an inspiration to help me stick to exercising and have lost 60 pounds since January. I've done versions of WOD's and crossfit style stuff, but this was officially my first WOD, as RX'd.

I think that's the leg version of "J.T." with the way it totally annihilates one muscle group, while the rest of the body feels left out

13:30 and 328 steps
on a hot day at the track on MacDill AFB
Saw a guy and his dad(?) doing overhead squats and the CFWU in the gym beforehand. Then I turned around after starting my lunges and they were following me around the track. It was good to have a fellow CFitter out there pushing me after doing these WODs solo for so long.

Comment #573 - Posted by: Garth at August 29, 2007 9:09 AM

This was my first complete WOD. I paced out my own 400m and I did 410 lunges in 21:21. Still trying to figure out where I can do muscle ups and dips.

My internet was down yesterday so I couldn't get to the WOD so I did something different.
Morning
WarmUp
WOD - 50-40-30-20-10
Double Unders
Situps
Time = 12:43
You know situps kill a fat man so after the first set fo 50 I was toast....so I self assisted most of the reps in every set after the first one.

Afternoon
Rode Mtn bike to Library & then Gym (@5 miles). Played basketball for about an hour and then rode home (@ 3 mils)

Evening
Did some 6 inches to finish off my stomach (inspired by my son's Pee Wee football practice)

CFWU + HSPU x 3

As Rx'd = 8:40

Honestly, I am did not think that this one was too incredibly tough. If it were 800 meters I probably would have done a puppy version of the WOD. I am normally in the middle of the road when it comes to my times on WOD as Rx'd as compared to other bloggers and I am wondering if I did this one incorrectly.

I USED A TREADMILL AND LIGHTLY TOUCHED MY KNEE ON EACH REP. I DID NOT USE THE SIDES FOR ASSISTANCE.

I AM WONDERING IF THE TREADMILL IS AN UNFAIR TOOL WHEN DOING WALKING LUNGES. DOES ANYONE HAVE INPUT?

I plan on doing this WOD in the near future around a track to see if their is a real difference.

Have Fun, Train Hard,

I probably could have done it faster at the expense of form, but I know that isn't the point. Severe wobbling going on at end of sets (tried to go for 10's) and I was sweating up a storm. So easy on paper, so difficult in practice.....

Comment #607 - Posted by: ken c at August 29, 2007 6:33 PM

Unlike firedave's set I was more a tabata style; where I pumped 10-15 & took a breath. I realized that slow & steady is the way to go because I had the lead for 3/4's into it & then he blew by me on the home stretch.

Knees to ground every time but was not keeping a big stride consistently which hurt my #'s.

Didn't even time it, 412 steps (added a few- doing it at home). I'd guess 12-15, though.

OH MY FREAKIN GOD

Done at Jersey shore on the sand, so had to improvise. I did 400 lunges, solid form, and called it 400 meters.

14:38.

I only think about this workout every time I try to sit down.... or get up.

364 lunges for 400m

18 minutes something

I was laughing so hard at how my legs had turned into noodles that I forgot to turn off the stopwatch right away

400M Walking Lunge.. Looked like a semi-easy workout after a long week.. 1 non-stop lunge, hands on my head to prevent leaning or cheating with a knee kiss. Well its 5 days later and the soreness has finally left my body. I sure didnt see that train wreck coming...
