thought it was gonna be FGB.
But cindy will do just fine

Has anyone seen the Navy Seals Crossfit WOD's? BRUTAL!!

I had a feeling in my gut Cindy would show up. Sounds like a nice fun relaxing day.

#2 SJV

Where can I see those?

I'm going for the gold tomorrow!

Good to see more interviews, Nadia is awesome!

I would have bet $100 that Saturday was a Fight Gone Bad!!!

Sorry Cindy and Mary, West Chester Crossfit has a Fight on its hands tomorrow.

Congrats to all "Athletes For A Cure" teams. We were at $210,000 earlier today!!!

Is it 10 1-leg squats per leg or 5 per leg, 10 total? Are the squats pistols? Thanks

I was refreshing the page every minute or so for the last half hour. I've never been addicted to a workout regime like this before. Thanks Crossfit. Stoked to jump into the workout tomorrow morning.

Nadia! Great interview. You rock girl!

Nadia, cool to see a face behind the posts. Keep posting, I love to read em.

Navy Seals WOD here:

http://www.navyseals.com/crossfit-workout-day

gracias

"He put me through a cindy, and I almost died... So I thought I would do it again."

Awesome

Nice to put a face with the name, Nadia. Just be careful with those 60 MPH PUs. You might make everyone else fell like they're wasting their time...

luv it! another beautiful, gorgeous face to put to the name of one of those superwomen i look for every day on the comments page. great interview nadia. and your Cindy totals are just insane...ly inspiring! hope to catch up to u someday :-D

Great interview Nadia. As Freddy C said, it is nice to see a face and a voice behind the words written. Thankyou for consistently helping me and keeping my spirits up when I had my injury. Cheers

Ditto cleverhandz,

Well spoken, VERY attractive and a Crossfitter. Triple threat!

Great interview, Nadia!

By now, I'm sure you're doing 60 mph muscle-ups as well.

Great work Nadia,

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm a personal trainer at a large gym as well and I do my best to train my clients in the ways of crossfit. I was actually pretty surprised at the response i got from the other established trainers at the facility. Most of them are pretty interseted in the program and I have lead a couple of them through a WOD (one of the bodybuilders is now severly addicted).
Outside of that, I still wish to own my own Crossfit Affiliate gym in the future, but until then the more people I can get squatting, deadlifting and shoulder pressing the better.

I'm not sure what the one leg squat looks like.

What is a Roman Diane?

I'm in LOVE!!!!

wow. totally pre-empted this one. did it on friday. only 19 rounds (5 rounds off my PR) =(

A "roaming Diane" means that you walk 21-15-9 meters on your hands instead of doing 21-15-9 handstand push-ups. I assume she didn't do 225 lb. deadlifts though... :)

Also, I think that the Navy SEALs crossfit WODs go against the "short and intense" mission statement that is so crucial to crossfit and to any good training regime. They need (like Marines need) to be able to swim and run well, especially with packs, etc. But the workouts are too convoluted and de-stress weightlifting ("olympic weightlifting") and gymnastics. Weightlifters and gymnasts are perhaps the greatest athletes in the world, and they don't row, or do knees-to-elbows or run stadium stairs. They practice the fundamental lifts and the basics of gymnastics.

I'm not sure what the one leg squat looks like.

Ok, so I did this one tonight cause I didn't feel like resting. But I only got 11 rounds, + 5 PullUps. (doing cindy). I HATE pushups by the way, they kill me. But eventually, I WILL conquer them!

Also, I should add this: certain skill sets seem to make somebody better across an entire spectrum of exercises. Weightlifters and gymnasts are perfect examples. They could jump into a rugby match, a running race, a wrestling match, a soccer game, whatever, and demonstrate phenomenal athleticism. You can't say the same thing about rowers, climbers, runners, and swimmers. Just because these activities are obscure and don't pay well doesn't mean that they aren't clearly superior to swiss ball crunches, pilates, bodyweight squats, push-ups, and sit-ups.

In other words, be discriminatory about your training regimen.

#24: I'm a Marine getting ready to go to TBS. Shouldn't I be doing lots of running in addition to the Crossfit works, e.g. the workouts at NavySEALS.com?

Awesome interview, Nadia. It was great meeting you again at the Portland Cert. One of these days we'll have to do a workout together. One without rowing, wall balls, and thrusters of course! I'm with ya on those!
-Charity

I just want to know how long Seals have been using Crossfit. I've been training two years at this program, which I think is by far the best. I'm 38 and have seen and timed results! My question is how much more can my body take? I'd rather be "in shape" than be a body builder. I've recomended Crossfit to anyone that has the drive to be better faster and stronger, but those Seal WOD's are ???? Trust me there is no other way to train than CF.

Andrew you have to understand the "Skill Set" they ae training for. Place those same atheletes you speak of under the same stresses and timeframes of combat (rigorous movement sometimes up to 12 or 18 hours) to include evasion and those same elite athletes would crumble. The (SEAL)WOD's you see (in my opinion)are as much about conditioning the mind as they are the body, to push past the point of exaustion and dig deep for a little more. In combat you can't collapse into the fetal after 5 minutes of maximum output (like many of us do after going for PR in out favorite WOD). Have you ever done a bounding movement, in full kit while someone who hates you with every fiber of their soul is trying to kill you? Imagine Sprints/burpees with 80- 100 lbs of body armor for an undetermined amount of distance( God I hope I didn't just give Coach that devilish idea).Walk a mile in there shoes before you attempt to criticize the method of their madness. Other than that I agree with everything else you said.

Dear Crossfitters,

I don't see "Cindy" or "Mary" listed in the exercises and demos. Anyone know where to find them? Thanks

Awesome interview Nadia!

Are the one legged squats 10 total or 10 on each leg?

wow thats an interesting interview nadia. You motivated me alot to actually start doing handstand pushups and muscle ups < both of which i have not mastered. Definitely going to work on those now.

Holy moly, she mentioned my name in her interview. My heart skipped a beat, that was so cool. You rock, Nadia!

Oh, and it's pronounced, 'gee-oh-koin,' with the soft g.

Great interview, Nadia!

22/m/164

"Cindy" 18 Rounds Completed.

Had 30 seconds left after the 18th. I was smoked, but thanks to crossfit and the crossfit approach to eating I've lost 10 pounds in a month or so.

Go Crossfit !!

Some kind of cindy:
10 jump pull ups
10 push ups
20 situps

11 rounds in 20:30 min.

=110 jump pus
=110 pushups
=220 situps

Thanks to crossfit for all the free advice. One question: I can't do one-legged squats on my left side because my ankle joint is inflexible, I think from spraining it a bunch a few years ago. I can't keep my heel on the ground and go all the way down without my knee caving in. Does anyone know what I can do about this? I stretch my calves all the time but the joint won't go past a certain point.

As RX'ed 12 rounds in 20 minutes. Felt good!!

Question:

I really enjoy doing chinups, and I've actually gotten pretty good at them (to me, anyway- 20+ per set)... but I cannot for the life of me do pullups properly. I recently developed a case of tendinitis in my shoulder from attempting too many pullups. My form suffered greatly from the amount of struggle, and I overexerted myself out of frustration.

Does anyone else have this handicap? I find it strange that chinups come FAR more naturally to me. What can I do to improve my pullups in particular, without hurting myself?

PS I read the FAQ, but this is a bit more specific of a question than the ones answered there.

It's been nice seeing all of the interviews and getting to know everyone a little bit better.

Nadia-

Too much resting:(

It would have made more sense to have Fight Gone Bad as the WOD today.

Lots of affiliates have been making a big push on FGB (both for the fundraiser and in training up to it). It also would have been a great opportunity to collect a huge number of FGB scores.

9 rounds.
Rounds 5 - 9 did jumping pull-ups.

Warm-up: 15 step-ups/leg, 55 rope jumps, 55 swiss ball crunches, various stretches.

Are the squats done with weight or without weight? This will be the first time I have spent time with Cindy and I'm thinking, like my lovely wife, she's gonna kick my butt.

#41 Dace -
When I first started CF 8 months ago I also had some shoulder issues that were made worse by the number of pullups I was doing. I was also doing mostly chin-ups at the time. What I found is for me it was because my range of motion was not full and I was not activating the shoulder in the move. I began to feel better when I stopped doing chinups and focused on full dead hang pull-ups then my next step was to add the kip. Now I bang out pullups without issue all full range of motion and all kippers. The only time I go back to chins now is during weighted pullups and L-hang but even for those I use a neutral grip instead of a chin grip.

Good luck .. Mike

Just ran a 5K this morning... first one in a couple weeks. I wasn't trying too hard and I ran a 21:20. And I have barely been running at all, just doing olympic lifting 4-5 days a week the past 3 weeks. YAY CROSSFIT! Can't wait for the PRT. The first 1.5 miles was an easy 10:42 which was only 3 seconds slower than my fastest PRT time so far. AWESOME!!!!

Just got done with a 5K - first one in a while. I wasn't trying too hard and ran a 21:20. The first 1.5 miles were an easy 10:42 which was only 3 seconds slower than my fastest PRT time yet. Yeah Crossfit! -- I've been doing olympic lifting 4-5 days a week the past 3 weeks and not running much so I was kinda surprised that run felt so good + I'm really looking forward to the PRT in about a month.

22 rounds as rx'd, a PR for me!

bw: 191

Cindy as rx'd: 17+5. A few rounds off my PR. Altitude ;)

#28 Evan,
First, congratulations on becoming an officer of Marines. You asked "Shouldn't I be doing lots of running?" Do a personal assessment. Study the quality of your running before increasing the volume. Look at your strengths and goals. Study your weaknesses. Are you built for running, injury prone? Running is an important part of fitness as a Marine. You need to be able to run hard for anywhere from 40 meters to 3 miles, then have the ability to fight and THINK without dropping in exhaustion. Here is what quality running means to me. Eliminate junk miles. Establish a program that incorporates interval training (Yasso's, e.g.). Think about your form, and practice running with the same attention to mechanics that you pay to the olympic lifts.
I'm a 50 year old colonel. With 27 years in, still posting PFT scores around 275. Been doing CF about 2 years, and I am stronger than I was as a lieutenant at Camp Barrett. "Increasing my work capacity across broad time and modal domains" has done far more for my fitness and longevity than pounding out 5 miles a day.
Best of luck in your career, Devil Dog.

So, last night? I took my daughter to Cirque de Soleil here in Toronto. Anyway, for a long time I have marveled at the fitness and drive of the folks like Greg and Annie and Nicole, but you know what? I've decided that Coach doesn't set the bar NEARLY high enough for you guys. Nope. I mean, if the back of your head doesn't touch your butt on the glute-ham situps, you are NOT Cirque de Soleil CrossFit fit.

Terry? Sure, you pressed 300 lbs over your head. Whatever. Try hoisting 95 lbs over your head, just ten times. But instead of a bar, use Nicole. Oh, and you have to be pedalling a unicycle.

Greg? How about the next time you do "GI Jane" you pull your whole body up and over the bar to land on one foot on the bar, before dropping to the ground and beginning your next rep? The workout finishes with a flourish on one knee. And the clock DOES NOT stop until water squirts out of your boutonniere.

Well Coach? Whaddya think?? No need to get back to me right away. Sleep on it.

M/24/170. As RX'd.

34 Rounds Cindy.

Pr by 7 rounds. Hands are all torn up from pull-ups.

Fight Gone Bad: 106-104-97 total: 306. I thought the local affiliate was going to do FGB as part of the prostate cancer fund raiser, but it didn't so I did it at the Y. The box jumps were shy of 20" because the slanted situp board was in use and I normally jack it up to either 20 or 24" for jumps, used a bench today; I also had to run upstairs to the Concept 2 for the rows which means I didn't go right to the rows from wall balls. I totally gamed this WOD shooting for 300+. I needed 20 a station, 100 a round for par. i took mini breaks at 10-12 reps to avoid blowing up to hit at least 20 per station, not always successful but close enough to git 'er done. A shout out to Tim Hamilton, thanks for the reply yesterday; I'll try those behind the head max jerks tomorrow. Maybe I can get close to nicloe's numbers, amazing girl. Thanks all and Coach too! BW:170, Y/A:59 (Happy Birthday to me)

I only say this because the same debate has been going on in my head for the past two days.

going to attempt to take a rest week, though i'm not sure how well it will go... how much non-crossfit activity does everyone do during their time off from the WODs?

Very dissapointing

John Wopat-
Happy 59th Birthday and congrats on the FGB. Keep on trucking!

Just arrived home from doing some climbing before the rain and the hail broke loose (40% chance of rain my butt). I'm pretty new at climbing and my technique needs lots of work, but due to my strength and coordination from 6 months of CrossFit, I climbed my first 5.10 (twice) with minimal hiccups.

I missed Nicole this week and I'm itching to get to Cindy. I may have to do a back-to-back tonight since yesterday ended up as an inadvertent rest day.

That's great that the other trainers at your 'globo gym' are pretty accepting of crossfit. Curious what the management thinks? My clients really like it, the only trouble I run into is with the owners. They seem to really hate bench jumps, handstands, jumping rope, wall balls and kipping pull-ups (basically any fast movement). I make sure to take my clients downstairs and out of sight for those activities. ;-)

Never thought this possible. This is 3 full rounds and then some over last time I did Mary. I was trying to get 10 rounds. This program rocks. Only broken exercise was pull-ups but when you do 180 pull ups I guess that is somewhat expected at least for me.

Didn't do cindy or mary today
Just got in the CFers Special from Witchita Falls Weightlifting and was playing around today with cleans and clean and jerks...awesome stuff. The bar is much nicer than most bars in globogyms...you can really whip it on cleans. Def recommend for anyone looking to buy a set of bumpers. BTW great interview Nadia.

FGB: 310 as Rxd counted by cert. crossfit coach.

The only modification, which was necessary (owing to i don't have a pull-up bar), instead of pull ups i did twice of 'em in supine row. Got 19 rounds this way, my last legit Cindy was 16 so this should mean around 17 real Cindy.

Cindy as rx'd 21 rounds plus 5 pull ups in 19:56. (PR)

broke out like this: first 10 rounds in 6:45; 14 rounds in 10:35; so last 7 rounds were in about 9 minutes. think i can get 25 next time.

Today was my first day doing a "girl" workout. I said to myself "oh, I'll at least do 15". Yeah, I did 11 complete rounds. I have a lot of work to do!

Robert, if I can get over my sense of embarassment walking around in only leather underwear and a cape, I'll be a Spartan for Halloween. :-P

started crossfit about 2 years ago but before that i had gotten bored with my weight lifting routine so i bought a book about the navy SEALs workout. did that for a while until discovered crossfit. now the SEALs are doing what we do. it's all come full circle. so cool.

By the way, I did "Cindy". It helps to put that information up as well, wouldn't it?

12 rounds of Mary, up from 9 and 7 chin last time in April.

This is only the second time I've done Mary with my working foot flat on the floor for the pistols. 12 rounds is a completely different workout from 9, metabolically it taxed me way worse and I had to break my chins into 5's from the 6th round on. I was probably sand-bagging it a bit once I new I PB'd because I was hurting so bad.

1 leg squats are 10 total, preferably alternating legs , though I think some do 5 left and 5 right.

Wow! 415 total for FGB by #200 Speal. That is like 27-28 reps per exercise. Nice work. I got 327 today. Not my best, but it hurt plenty good.

Harder than I expected.

The key for >20 rnds of Cindy is to Tabata it. I set took me 31-34s. I rested the rest of the minute, then did another. M goal today was to break 20. I start CF in July and did 15 rounds in July.

Only did a five round Cindy after all the other fun stuff and felt really good. Even knocked out great double unders hop hop explode explode explode thank you Billy. 5 rounds of Cindy in 5 minutes at the end of exploring a new gym.

5 jumping pull-ups (jump to reach the bar)
10 push-ups

total = 8 rounds + pull-ups + 1 push-up

then it wuz my turn, and i think i overcounted, so the posted total below is minus a few possibly imaginary rounds:
amrap in 20 mins of:
5 pull-ups (kipping)
10 push-ups
15 squats
total = 19 + pull-ups and push-ups
still a pr, but it'd be nice to know wut the total really wuz. usually i undercount stuff but i just have a feelin that this time i did the opposite. definitely must have one of the girls keep track for me next time.

First post, first Cindy. Been lurking for a couple months and decided to start posting.

10 rds.

Guess on the bright side I have nowhere to go but up now.

Hmm pushups need a lot of work. I keep having to stop in the middle of each set because my arms are just too tired.

Marty #97: Right on, I'm with ya ;) I've seen Cirque as well, and they are inspiring athletes. Artistic performance + music + athletics, it's a good combo really.

Nadia #145: great interview! How are you finding your first couple months being a personal trainer at a big gym? I just got certified this summer (CF cert next when I can afford it) and am curious to hear about how that's going for you. As for the management being upset - as all those "fast" movements also don't require the hundreds of thousands$$$ they spent on the machines... might be something there.

Breaking my fast at 5 days (wasn't really committed to going 10).

Too much rest between rounds.

Had to catch up so did a Nicole-Cindy crossover. It went like this:

Nicole-Cindy (15 minutes Nicole into 15 minutes Cindy)

" Nicole " - 5 rounds
(457M circuit around inner-city school property aka "my track")
8-7-7-6-4 pull-ups (kipping)

"Cindy" - 12 rounds + 5 pull-ups
all pull-ups jumping

I could really feel the fact I slept little, really used the pull-ups muscles when I went climbing this morning and I ate junk throughout the day. Just means I'll have to work harder to get stronger and smarter.

I too was amazed 6 months ago @ the 20+ rounds on this WOD .... I struggled to make 14 rounds and thought is there some secret to this? The secret was a commitment to crossfit and giving everything I could muster on ever WOD... now just 6 months later I recorded my first 20+ Cindy....

22 rounds and 5 pullups

Good work on FGB John Wopat and Happy Birthday,
Nadia - as nice in the interview as her posts.

#194 Tim - I try to pace it with full ROM at 45 secs per set. I try not to go out too fast at the start. I take some time to breathe while I put down my "tick marks" to keep track. I may be able to get a little more if I go all out from 3-2-1- go and have someone else count for me but then again I'd have less "recovery" time between rounds so would feel it more near the end.

Overall (so far) I usually don't try to game the workouts but try to max out where it's called for.
(But on the other hand what I described above is gaming it...hmmm.)

Does anyone know what the all-time world record is on "Cindy?"

14 Rounds plus 5 pull-ups

Got to work out in the fancy Houstonian hotel gym.

Ran into a fellow crossfitter. Recognized him doing ball slams and squat thrusters.
Got to use my first Concept II rower. Wish I could afford them.

Wow. Weak. Really need to work on the pullups and pushups more.

I had 18:28 in me. That was it. 6 rounds of Cindy before I couldn't do any more. I stood staring at the bar for a few minutes and tried two more jumping pullups. Okay, go for the pushups and come back. One, two. Uh.. Three, f...loor.

18:28, HR: 151 avg, 168 max. Whew.

Scaled to 3 pull-ups (from racked bar, feet on floor), 6 car push-ups, 9 squats. 13 rounds flat.

Great workout - I dont know if I like knowing that I will be hurting for 20 minutes though, I am 'looking forward' to experiencing some of those metered dose workouts (21-15-9).

A bit better than my previous best of 13 rounds +3 pullups.

Felt really low on energy when I started, so this was a less intense effort than it might have been, but rest times were significantly shorter than before. Pushups are the hardest part. Each set after about round 5 broken in two.

Cindy 28 plus 5 pullups

First time doing CF w/ my old man. He's 62 and been lifting weights for 47, but never done anything like CF. Since I was at his house, the only pullup bar that had room for any sort of kipping was the i-beam in his garage. So we got after it.

I did 7 sets before my hands started getting cut up. Then I replaced the pullups with more pushups. I thought that would make it easier, but it actually made it harder. 15.5 rounds total in 20 minutes. I need to get back to the 20 rounds in 20 minutes that I did in April.

My old man did 6 rounds and asked if that was good or bad. I said that was to be expected and he will improve quickly if he sticks with it. I am now a firm believer that CF will help beat back the aging process and really want my folks to give it a genuine shot.

24 rounds, new record. This is the first workout I ever did back when I started crossfit in May 2006. At that time, I did 14 rounds, and I was beat. I am shocked that I can now pump out 24 rounds! Also, when I started, I could do 6 or 7 good form pull-ups. I am now able to do 25 pull-ups! Crossfit is amazing, period.

Workout song of the day:

Tough one for me. I did get a PR on pullups, though. three whole pullups. While it's a shamefully low number, I suppose I can be proud that I brought my max pullups up 50% after only a week and a half of xfit.

Last time: 8 rounds with jumping pullups and knee pushups.

This time: 15 rounds, pullups mostly kipping (can just reach bar but pulled up), 1/2 knee and 1/2 full pushups.

Kipping pullups are horrible.. I am using a lot more energy trying to kip than I do in strict.. but it should get better over time.
Too much time spent practicing my deep squats on a bench in between sets :)

16 rounds, right at 20:00. (crappy pullups but done still the same)

I love all the strange looks from the "traditional" weight lifters. Especially since I used to do that and because I am one of the top trainers in my gym, I think it is wonderful that more people are going to be exposed to Crossfit... even if all of them don't get it. Everyone has their own goals, and some of them are actually taking the right path to those goals.

I'm to the point now where I have to start speeding up instead of resting less (you all know what I mean). That's the greatest joy to me.

Got a 10 second proper L-sit on my parralettes today as well! Thank you crossfit!

As Rx'd: 20 rounds

I set my watch timer on the minute. Was able to crank out a set each minute with roughly a 25-30 second rest window. Perhaps this was the conservative approach, but next time I'll set the timer for perhaps 50 second intervals and see what happens. I've missed the past few days, so this was a good way to hop back into it.

Woops, forgot to add that it was "Cindy".

BTW, I think I like the timer approach better than just setting a running clock. I tried that approach last time and found it easier to burn out. The limiting factor with setting the timer though is that you are working within a set timeframe as opposed to seeing how many sets you can truly crank out.

Wow, brains, muscle and a beauty to boot - is the world really ready for Crossfit women and I now proudly count my wife as one of same.

Did Cindy at the playground. It really sucks doing push – ups on gravel and sand. I think I’m improving on my pull – ups, though, but just a bit.
Did 7 Rounds of proper sets, then did 15 additional squats and gave up because my arms died on me. This was at around 18:50 or so.

9 rounds jumping pullups

just stretched for warmup

did 10 sets of cindy in 20 mins

pulled off big chunk of skin from left palm and tore off callous below left pinky on round 7 so the last 3 rounds kind of hurt a bit...

Mary 10+5 short of 11 full rounds
wu=old (harder) stairs 30 min 19 at level 13 then level 11
-coulda got 11 if i pushed!

Did FGB on this day. I haven't workout that hard since I was probably a freshman in college.
Did it in Plano, Texas. Had a good time though.

Decided to do the "Mary". I am weak on one-legged squats and I really wanded to do HSPUs. Had to assist with one-legged squats by holding onto the upright rails of my chin/dip bars. Also, alternated with pullups/chinups per round.

5 HSPU
10 One-leg Squat (alternating 5rx5l)
15 pullup/chinup

8 rounds

On a side note my 7 yr old daughter came into the gym to see what I was doing. Observed my piss poor one-legged squats and decided to pop off 10 on each leg like it was a piece of cake said "See Ya Pops" and skipped off. So much for my ego.

16 rounds plus 5 pullups. All pullups supinated grip, jumping. Can't kip on the gym's rack. Previous was 14 rounds plus 5 pullups, 5 pushups, so I'm up almost 2 full rounds.

Pushups continue to be a problem. The antihistimines, and antiobiotics plus all that HSPU practice the night before didn't help, but they are getting better.

Followed by kickboxing shadowboxing and skill work.

As rx'd 14 rounds, plus 5 pullups. 7 pushups.

Pushups were really weak, imagine my surprise to find that this was actually a PR. Stronger pullups were the big factor there.

We chose Cindy.

J, 34 184 M
7 or 8. Lost count, I think seven (4 done in 10 mins) my wife thinks 8. I really should have pushed harder on this one, at the start I was afraid of burning out too early, but was not too winded at the end, and didn't really slow down much. Able to do 5 strict pu for the first 4 rounds, jumping after that.

K, 34 F
assisted PU, 14 rounds! Very sore for the next 2 days. This girl is an air squat master.

cindy 26 rounds as rxd
