haha, you beat me! this will be the first time i've repeated a crossfit workout, i'm psyched to see my progress

I've never seen this one... must've missed it before...

bleedCF...
what happened to your bills?

Great job on the workout demo, Mike (the shirtless bandit), Alan (speedy gonzales) and Kara (she-ra)! Watching the vid wasn't as appreciating as actually being there in person...sadly, in retrospect, I should have been doing the same exact workout with them, however, my excuse is that I had to conserve my energy since I was a seminar attendee lol (hey, cut me some slack bro). Once again, great job and thanks Tony for posting it!

Does CrossFit work?
A commonly possed question here, and one that's surely considered by most who visit the site. Here's my 2 cents.

On Saturday I ran the Imogene Pass Run (www.imogenerun.com) which is 17 miles from Ouray to Telluride, over a 13,120' pass, with 9000+ feet of elevation gained and lost. And yes, I know LSD running is bad.
In preparation for this year, I ran about half as much as past years, focusing instead on the WODs. I credit CrossFit with keeping me cardiovascularly fit enough to push myself for four straight hours, for making my legs "Strong Enough"--see Coach Rip's article in this month's journal--to never stop during three hours of uphills, and my quads solid enough to handle the beating of running 7 continuous downhill miles. Consequently, I came it at exactly 4 hours, which is 30 minutes faster than my previous PR.
So, run less+WOD more=faster running! Yes, CrossFit works.

Do we choose a single weight and go with it for the whole workout? Or ramp up to max effort lifts for each exercise?

That video ruled because of the shoes! No but seriously, great job!

I echo Jeremy's (#5) question. Should we be testing for max loads at the prescribes reps, or pick a weight we know we can handle?

Awesome music on the video! Does anyone know the name of the remix?

So I guess I gotta add Kara to the list of amazing CF women.

For comment #4.
Did your body weight stay the same after incorporating Crossfit with running?

check 070818 for the video of Annie doing this workout.

Yes the Annie video is great one to watch for this work out... http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/CrossFit_AnnieSP1-PP3-PJ5WOD.wmv

I agree that the vid was a terrific effort, fantastic job everyone. It looked to me like the guy in the blue shirt had his elbows bent on his DLs. Maybe I just couldn't get a good look, wouldn't that make it harder though?

Looking at the Certification seminar photo, anyone remember a John Chavez in that group? The person I believe to be him is standing behind Coach Glassman with a black under armour shirt on. Thanks

Awesome WOD! Great music, what's that 70's song again in that remix with Akon? Can't wait to tackle this shoulder trio WOD!.. Think I did it not too long ago, looking back on my CF log on my computer to see my last results, so I can try to improve on it.

15/M

Alright CFers, second time around on this bad boy. Let's all make some kind of improvement. It's a killer shoulder circuit. Take advantage of it. Maybe after this one handstand push-ups will get a little easier.

I bet tomorrow is a 5K run

The song is Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty. I think it was better before the rap crap was thrown in.

wats a good substituion for the push press?

Great work! I counted like 50 dynamax balls in that video! That's like 5-6 grand!

OPT Mommy-
Happy CF Anniversary! You have made great gains and it sounds like you work out with a great crew.

Hey guys,

I did the Filthy 50 for the first time today - subbed KB swings for D/B swings, the rest as rxd. Finished in 28 mins. gotta work on the knees to elbows and burpees. Next target is sub 25mins

This was the first CF workout I tried when I discovered this site about a month ago, and I think it's my favorite so far. All I have are dumbbells right now, so I used two 30#ers for the whole thing. I need a little more resistance this time, but those are the biggest weights I have. Any suggestions? Should I increase reps?

The guy with the black under armor behind coach is Eddie Lugo. He own crossfit San Diego and was helping run the Quantico cert. I was at the cert and let me tell you it was GREAT!

We had quite a few special guests from Buddy Lee the jumprope maniac to Tony Blaur to Jeff Martone the kettle bell man.

The instructors where great and everyone there was class act!

I have to say if you are thinking about going to a cert. do it. It was great to make sure i was diong things correctly and learn where i was doing things wrong.

Just make sure you rest before going there is so much hands on work that you will be tired as hell after!!!

Thank you to all the great coaches, Coach Glassman, Eva T., Eddie, Andy, and all the rest for putting on such a great event and helping to show people what they are missing in FITNESS!

I haven't done this workout yet, I'll be doing it in a few hours after I complete yesterdays. I did a cheeky tabata workout at lunch. Anyway.. Looking at the numbers posted it seems that a lot of people are PP'ing more than they are PJ'ing - Is this purely a technique thing? you can PJ more than the PP.

I'll post my own numbers soon and see if they mirror some of the other posts.

I noticed the same thing. One should definitely be able to push jerk substantially more than he can push press. It takes aggressiveness on the movement. You should reach lockout, and then stand all the way up. If you're push pressing more than you're push jerking, something is definitely wrong with the technique.

If you check out the Annie video posted above, you'll see that she gets up to a higher weight on the PP than the PJ. I think it has a lot to do with fatigue.

tim hamilton (& leon)

i knew i could count on you to comment on all of these bizarre numbers people are posting - i was thinking the same thing. i wonder if it's a result of poor form/unfamiliarity with the PJ or poor form on the SP (i.e., bouncing, small jerks, etc.), thus inflating the SP number. about to tear this up, i'll post in a couple hours.

Roundoff,

Yep I see your point there. Still, in a general sense, one should be able to move a good deal more weight on the push jerk. I think it's a technique issue more than a fatigue issue. The pressing motion on the push jerk is MUCH less than the other two.... It's the aggressiveness getting under the bar that counts. I find it to be more of a lower body exercise really, with the jump and land.

Just FYI...I use the behind the head method, which allows me to use more weight, and is a little easier technique-wise. Cheers..

Esteban,

I was thinking the same thing. If one is using a bit of a dip or a jerk on the shoulder press, then those numbers may be slightly inflated.

These are 3 distinct movements that do require some good attention to technique. I really love this trio.

I found the tri-panel video helpful on this one.

Hey, I want to throw out http://www.logsitall.com by Bill Patton. We are trying to collect as much CF info as possible so we have concise data. You are the resources we need to get this thing to explode, its building rapidly.

Please throw your PR dates and times in there and start logging, the amount of data we should be able to collect is enormous.

Again, http://www.logsitall.com

Great video everybody! It looked like a beast.

It was a pleasure working with all of you out in Jacksonville.

one of my favorites. the progression is amaxing. to see your self not able to lift any more but find a way to incorporate the rest of your body to get it done truly is what CF symbolizes to me. can't waait till back at the fire house to knock this one out. today will have to be a park day, sprints, pushups, ring dips, etc. will also work with new rings for MU's

Perfect WOD to cap a perfect weekend, in form and function.

press-pushpress-jerk: the perfect dynamic progression to illustrate mechanics over brute strength. Done in order to failure, this progression in its own way is how i define the efficacy and efficiency of CrossFit, and how many of us came to realize why this is IT. Try multiple training styles until you find the one that produces definitive, evidence based fitness.
press-pushpress-jerk. dig it.

Cheers to everyone at Quantico this past weekend, it was an honor to share that time with you all.

all failures came on final rep of set. there definately was a fatigue factor for me in the PJs, and i noticed that on Aug. 10th i only did sets of 3 for the PJs - i must have misread that WOD. nevertheless, PP was a PR by 15, and though i don't have a 5 rep PJ to compare it to, i handled 5 extra for two additional reps. i have a lot of room for improvement in these two moves, especially the PJ.

Push jerks were more like push presses. Need to work on getting under the bar.

one of my favorites. the progression is amaxing. to see your self not able to lift any more but find a way to incorporate the rest of your body to get it done truly is what CF symbolizes to me. can't waait till back at the fire house to knock this one out. today will have to be a park day, sprints, pushups, ring dips, etc. will also work with new rings for MU's

I just read the article on The Worse School in America, and as much as I don't trully understand the implication of radicalism vs conservatism in the United States, there was one part of it all that I do agree with, the activism part of it.

Activism can cause change.

America is 'allegedly' one of the most obese socieities in the world, and we in the UK are heading very quickly in the same direction. I think its time for us to take a more 'Fitness activist' approach and get our arses in gear and start doing something.

I watched a documentary on Elvis less than a month ago, and towards the end an obese and very sick man was depicted giving his last concert in public. Why did no one try to help him? Or did they? (I was only 9 years old so I don't know the full story), It just struck me that everyone was so busy sucking upto the King that no one stopped and told him the truth.

Right now too much of the media is focussed on celebrity, in some cases total idiots that have a look but no content, or just 'it' people (an apt description).

It seems so completely stuck on looking good on the outside no matter what, that everyone who isn't beautiful feeds themselves to counter the pain.

I think we need to do something radical. Something that sends a hard message across the world, a message that isn't soft and gentle and telling veryone its ok to be fat and obese and pass bad habits to your kids, a message that it isn't ok for food suppliers to treat our kids foods with damaging additives, and a message that shouts integrity, responsibility and community.

A community that cares. But like any good parent has discipline and sets boundaries.

I think its time we stopped being nice and started to stand up for we already know.

You have to be fit enough to live your life and whatever it throws at you.

Am I alone on this or does anyone else have the same sentiments?

It has been a sad day at our home. Our beloved long hair tabby Kosmo passed away after a 9 month battle with Feline Leukemia. We'll miss you bubba...

Re 108

as they say, for evil to thrive, it only needs good men ( and women) to do nothing: the obesity epidemic is made much worse by the "hands off" mentality that protects many overweight people. Sure when they are on the road to recovery, obese people need all the help they can get, but to get people to change, we cannot accept and suggest that obesity is a life style choice thats "OK": its not: all of my weight loss clients who have lost masses of weight by following crossfit and using the Zone all say they were stuck in a protective world where no one had the guts to say " sort yourself out"

However I do recognise that there are many complex reasons why people are obese, but sometimes we as a society need to "cut the gordons not" and get on with it

I watched the Annie video before doing this one and realized that I'm to start my push press at the 1 rep max for the press which I didn't do last time this one came up. Fatigue played a factor with the jerks as well; anyway, as Meatloaf says, 2 out of 3 (prs) ain't bad. Thanks Coach! BW:175, Y/A:58

Weighted Dips x 40 (25lbs).

I know a few people are questionning other ppl's number as to why PJ's are less than their SP's and PP's, and I was kind of wondering myself. After all, my last PJ 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 was a lot more than what I just posted for this WOD. It is true that you should be able to PJ more than SP and PP. But after doing the WOD, I can clearly can say that there are some contributing factors that refute that fact. Fatigue and the increasing # of reps with each exercise ought to have some effect on overall performance. Unless, unlike me, one was to start at a very low weight and not increase it by more than 5lbs. I always go for the fence no matter what, and when I fade away, oh well...I know my technique definitely gets sloppy after a few reps and with increased weight. I didn't have the same explosiveness on my last set of PJ that I had on my first, that's for damn sure. So in retrospect, I don't think those # posted by me or other CFitters are that much out of whack... That is my 2cents on the topic.

Further comments on numbers...

The above points are well taken. I agree fatigue will play a role on skewing numbers, especially given the increasing number of reps. Even taking that into consideration, however, if we take a trainee that has solid technique on all 3 of these, I still think he'll be able to jerk bigger weight than what he push pressed. Yes, even for 5 reps. I think what might be happening here is a combination of things.

1. During the time one should be doing shoulder press: Doing more of a push press instead of a shoulder press.

2. During the time one should be doing a push press: Doing more of a push jerk instead of a push press.

3. During the time one should be doing a push jerk: Doing more of a push press than a push jerk.

Does that make sense? During the push jerk, ask yourself: Were your arms were locked out before the ascent? Did you really do a powerful dip/drive/dip?

The other issue, is are you doing push jerks with the bar in front or back? Makes a difference.

Fatigue plays a role, technique plays a role.

finished with 95lbs. as many of the three movements in a row i could do(8,5,4) then as many shoulder presses as i could do(14). that's when the hot girl walked by and saw me barely getting 45lbs above my head. geez!

Tim and Esteban

Ater completing the session I now know that it's down to the increase in reps. Your heading for a 1,3 and 5 rep max in each for 5 sets.

As assigned
5'9'' 158lbs

Press : 60k x 1 x 5
Push Press : 60k x 3 x 5

25 air squats
80 pullups

Took 46:45

The dips and pullups are in substitution for muscle ups, which i do not have the space for. So i would do 4 pullups then quickly do 4 dips and back and forth like that till i finished the set, then more air squats, and repeat...

I attend a Crossfit style gym in Utah. Their monthly membership fee is $200/month. The trainers are very attentive and at time it even resembles personal training. Those of you who don't have a home gym...is this a reasonable membership fee?

I must say after doing Crossfit for three months now, I have gotten stronger. Today i should pressed 175. PR by 10 pounds since doing the CFT back in June. I know my legs are definitely stronger and have yet to complete the CFT last week but anxious to try all three lifts soon.

Today WOD-

Press- 155, 155, 165, 175, 185 (fail)

Push Press - 155, 165, 175, 185 (2), 155

Push Jerk - 155, 155, 155, 155, 175 (4)

took about 30 minutes. I could've standed to take longer breaks.

I seem to be losing weight. Now down to a fairly accurate 153#. I think it is from cutting back on boozing.
Press - 95, 115, 125, 125, 125 (fail)
Push - 125, 135, 140, 140, 140 (fail)
PJ - 140, 145, 145, 145 (fail), 135

May not be precisely correct but this is close. Press max is 135.

#166 - Jim

$200 seems a bit pricy -- we have a Crossfit affiliate gym near where I work in Virginia (I haven't joined yet), but they charge about $90/mo for unlimited access to group WODs M-F and their twice-weekly "boot camps." With a 25% LE/good guy discount, it's in the $60-70 range. Does your gym have silver barbells?

8 minute snatch set - 71L/75R.

Downright whipped after this weekend's messed up sleep. I'll be happy to get through the work day then crawl into bed and crash. Multiple short jerk sets for me as I don't have the focus to deal with long sets. No Crossfit WOD for me today.

10am: 6 minute jerk set - 54L/56R. Worked on 18 rpm pace; barely survived with left, right strong. Amazing what adding just two reps a minute will do to fatigue levels.

2pm: 6 minute jerk set - 56L/56R. MUCH stronger with left hand (had 8 seconds remaining before hand switch!). Unlike the prior set, I remembered to use hip drive to start the bell from the first rep. Both thumbs feeling a little crampy.

5pm: 6 minute jerk set - 56L/56R. Strong set.

My wrists were killing on this, I assume b/c I still have a crappy rack position. So I had to bail after the first set of pjs. Sad.

I'm fairly new to CF and I have 2 questions:

1.)Are your wrists supposed to hurt after this workout?

2.) Since starting cf 3 weeks ago and starting the zone diet, I have lost 8 pounds. I had very little body fat before this and I am wondering if I am undereating or losing muscle or is this a good thing? Thank you for any advice you can send my way

My wrist hurts, so I know I am doing something wrong.

PP: 85-85-95-100-105
PJ: 85-95-100-105(failed on third rep)-105-110

first time doing the push press and push jerk for weight instead of speed. handstand practice afterward was not smart!

Did shoulder presses and push presses up to 135lbs, only used about 98lbs for jerks, as I'm not entirely comfortable with the movement.

28/F/109#

SP: 75-75-80-85-90 (PR) been stuck at 85 for 3-4 months now!
PP: 75-75-80-85-90 (PR)
PJ: 70-75-80-85-90 (PR)

probably could have gone higher on PP and PJ's but was short on time so only rested about 30 sec between sets. could have done more with more rest.

pre: CFWUx2 + Burgener WUx2 + Filty Fifties

Shoulder Press 95/115/135/145/155
Push Press 115/135/145/155/165
*Got confused on correct exercise, did something resembling a push jerk into a full overhead squat* 45/45/50/55/60

SP: 95-105-115-120(f)-120
PP: 105-115-120-125(f)-115
PJ: 95-105-115-125(f)-120

Although the failures on the push press and press jerk were in large part attributable to physical fatigue, there was also an element of mental fatigue, as it was difficult to maintain not only focus, but also fight through the fear of putting the weight overhead.

SP: 125, 120, 115X3
PP: 125X5X3
JP: 125X5X5

PJ: 45, 65, 85, 105, 115 (pr)

I had never done a push jerk before so had to teach myself (thanks for the videos coach Burgener!). So I started with an empty bar and worked up as I got comfortable with it.

SP: 125, 135, 145, 155, 175 (F), 165 (F)

The push jerks were insanely hard for some reason. I couldn't get into a rhythm to save my life.

SP 95-115-125-135-145
PP 115-125-125-135-145
