PR

I went to Lost Battalion Hall for the first time tonight. I was invited by my friend Yoon from the Black Box. Also met David from Crossfit Brooklyn.

Almost took my thumb off the last time I attempted to clean 95 at the Box over a month ago. Failed. My previous PR was 85

Tonight Clean and jerked 100. I didn't even know I was doing that much. That probably helped because after hurting myself I've been too scared to attempt it again.

I can't believe it. WOOHOO

My fav!

Man, I had a sick feeling that this one was coming today.

The most brutal workout ever conceived.

Hey is this the 3 bars of death?

anyone going to the Santa cruz cert Nov 3-4 and interested in splitting the cost of a hotel room please email me

I predict paaaain....

neptune's trousers! my lower back just tightened up already. well as coach rip says, "better get your hammer cocked."

Hmmm, not so 'hall friendly' may scale it back for time/weight constraints!

Called it! It'll be a rush!

yes allison this would be the three bars of death. have a love hate relationship with this one. in a sick kind of way i was hoping for this one.

OMFG... this is going to rock!

Yes - before you ask, these are full squat cleans.

#4 Allison

Yes it is

Oh dear Lord.

Man!...
I had not come across the 3 bars of death yet, this will be my first time. I must say that I will definitely scale that one. DOMS hit my quads hard from yesterday's WOD and the hockey I played last night...

Promises to be fun. 3,2,1, puke!..

By far the hardest workout of the day I've ever done.
3, 2, 1.5, 1, .5, ...GO!

is this 10 of each exercises before moving to the 9 or is it all dls then all bench then all cleans

augh, stupid work meeting might get in between me and linda tomorrow! I was hoping for a 'quickie' that i could squeeze in between meeting and clients. we shall see, maybe i can make it happen. i love to hate linda. good luck everyone!

I could not be more excited for a dang workout. Holy three bars of pain and suffering, batman! Coach G's words from and old video are ringing in my head ".....You dont feel well today? You stayed up too late? You arent into it? You know what we say to those people? 3-2-1 go."

I love this stuff. Happy hunting, all!

had a date with linda last thursday
19:56 (were power cleans though)
Dont think I am ready to see her again just yet. body is hurting in all sorts of arears after my workout yesterday!

#17 tim:

10 DLs, 10 BP, 10 cleans, 9 DLs, 9 BP, 9 cleans, 8 DLs, etc.

#17 Tim - 10 dl, 10 bp, 10 clean, 9 dl, 9bp,...

Tonight I hate this one but after its over I will love it, especially if I get a fat PR. I can't wait to see the looks I will get tomorrow.

ooh - i'm feeling all warm and fuzzy all over!

100lbs.! Awesome work Allison!!!

Once I get to 5 reps it's no problem! It's rounds 10-6 that really sting.

Gotta get up at 5 tomorrow so I can do this at Globogym. I love seeing the trainers faces....

3 bars of death! YES!!!!!!!!

#17 tim,

do 10 dl, 10 bench, 10 cleans, then 9-9-9, etc.
Thats why you really want 3 bars!

Enjoy,

Matt

I've been waiting for this one again...stepping up the weight from last time to "almost rx'd."

hey everyone, there is no way i am going to be able to do this at the gym i go to...there is going to be to many people standing around on there cell phones sucking up all the good oxygen, any suggestions on a good substitute

Hey all. For "Linda" tomorrow, I plan on subbing weighted dips for bench press as I only have two bars. Does anyone have any idea about how much weight would approximate a bodyweight bench? BW 170. I've got bars and rings, 20# vest, dip belt, etc., so pretty much any weight or combination is possible. I'd be grateful for any advice. Good luck all.
John

Sweet! Just got 9 new Pendlay bars at One World. I get to play with three of them tomorrow! I am thinkng about naming all the bars, girls names of course! :-)

My first Linda...coldn't even finish. Second in 29m, third in 26, last one in 19, tomorrow? Can't wait!

ah Linda... took me near an hour to complete it as Rx'ed the first time (about when I started CF)

we'll see what tomorrow brings

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! muahaha

I actually was at work today and knew I hadn't done this workout for a while so I chose it, weird. 6'5"/m/205 as required 24:42.

Hello everyone

I destroyed my elbow the last time I ran this one. I hope I have better luck and form this time around.

As Rx'd--34:26

BW-190lbs.

I knew it, first time I have ever called the workout before it was posted. Woohoo!

whats rx'd?

Gonna see how far I can get tomorrow, male 260lbs...yea...gonna be fun. Woot!

Next time I will go a bit heavier with the bench press. Decided to be a little conservative because of my shoulder problems over the last couple of years. Shoulder held up really good. Maybe 60kg next time.

Looking forward to this one. I have been anxiously awaiting it. Took today's rest day "off" and did 3 rounds of 21-18-15 of SDHP's, Thrusters, then Back Extensions. When I got done a group of trainers came over and asked if I was okay since I was making those pre-pukie cheek puff-outs (What would be a good name for them? Blowpuffs maybe?). One asked me if I was training for anything...I said "life" and he just looked at me with a puzzled look and then turned and walked away. Heh heh heh There's nothing like the smell of XFit in the morning!

i think i accidently drank too much tonight to set a PR, but i'll give it a shot...

this one is going to be a bit hard at my gym. since most of the barbells are being used for bicep curls.

That's what I get for doing heavy deadlifts today. I'd barely done any powerlifting due to equipment and group workouts shying away from them lately. I finally get to work the PL's a little and we get hit with Linda. Pain.

Man I weigh 250 lbs. This is going to take forever.

This may take a little longer as I don't have access to 3 bars - I'll be a popular guy tonight as there is only one Oly Bar in my pokie little gym!

Something tells me I'm going to be looking forward to the 3-2-1... STOP!

This is my fav I cant wait!!

I really wish that I could do this exercise, but I can not press my body weight yet that many times, and I am SCARED of deadlifts as that is what I was doing when I hurt my back. I am going to attempt this tomorrow to see how many I can perform.

I look forward to it!!

(Just got done with a Back and Shoulder workout that I did before checking this...>STUPID<....I will be excited to try this tomorrow.

Oh Linda...

the only WOD in existence that leaves me bloody, scraped, and sweat-soaked...not to mention unable to finish the following days' WOD's.

have fun everyone...get some!

Now THIS is what it's all about!

Bring on more O-lifting. Love it.

One oly bar at gym and the poxy smith machine - and probably 3-4 guys arguing over who gets to use the bar! I'm looking fwd to this already...

No Linda for me, I need to function properly for a swim race tomorrow.

thank you

Had only one bar for the WOD, so I stopped the clock as I stripped the bar for each exercise. Whole event took about an hour, actual lift time was 25:30. Rests were taken on the clock during lifts.

I've got the pre-workout jitters..

Ahhhh..."Linda"...aka "Three Bars of Death"

It has been a while since we last tangoed. This is one of the true pleasures of CF. I think it will also be the WOD that officially gets me asked to leave my new gym :)

My wife and I just started the beginner's workout (12 week progression). What can we substitute running with if it rains and we don't own a concept2 Rower. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Was both wanting, and not wanting this one to show up. About time they threw Linda at us. I knew it was coming sometime. It's going to be a PR to simply complete it as Rx'd.

Man! This is the second time in a row this has come up on my 1/2 volume week. I'm tempted to do this as RX but I know long-term it won't help. Last time I did it with 1/2 weight in 6:00. This time I'll do 10-8-6-4-2 with RX weight.

25:29

i felt like i was a little heavy/about right on DL and too light on cleans and bench. i just had a weird flow because i had some fast, then slow. while the cleans were light, they wore me out because of the explosiveness, so maybe they were okay. this was a weird workout for me. its this type of workout i would really love to do with a little supervision and guidance.

it doesn't have to be fun to be fun!

That's a phat PR by 10%. Thanks coach!

Grip was a serious issue. I forgot my chalk bag and the gym doesn't have chalk. I haven't brought it yet so I don't know if they will object to it. I thought I heard one of the trainers use the word "crossfit" today before having his client do burpees. Unknown if he was talking about me or trying to pass himself off as a crossfit trainer (He clearly is not). I would have said "yeah burpees" to them to see what they would say but I was busy trying not to pass out.

It'll be impossible for me to do this as described.

I've only one bar, and not nearly enough weights.

I'll have to think of something.

Wahh!
I realy love/hate Linda and wanted to tango again, but the wife is laid up and I'm launching the kids to school so I had to improvise outside of the gym.
Ended up doing yesterday's Navyseal WOD.

First time doing "real" Linda. Only had one bar, was not even going to try it, then decided just do it...

DL - Should have done 247 lbs. ended up doing 255 lbs.
Bench - 165
Cleans - 125

I've been looking for somebody who went over one hour? I guess that I will be the first.

1 hour 18 minutes - Even though it seemed to take forever, I have that feeling of accomplishment just like when I completed my first muscleup.

Scaled to:

Probably scaled too much but it was my first Linda and wanted to make sure I finished it.

m/37/6/168

I remember my first Linda a few months ago - complete disaster. Therefore I scaled it quite a bit this time and did

10/8/6/4/2 of

125 lbs deadlift
135 lbs benchpress
75 lbs full squat clean

Took 17 minutes. Challenging, but doable, so next time I have a good baseline to improve upon.

31:03

10, 9, and 8 were broken sets of DL, and Cleans
Unbroken the rest of the way.

24:50 with mods.

At Calgary's busiest (or 2nd busiest) fire hall so I set this one up to be faster than it would at my true bodyweight of around 190, what I didn't account for was that I'd feel like a sack due to poor eating over the past few days. I knew I wanted to go straight through on deads and cleans and I'd work more on strength for the bench so I went:

225 DL
185 Bench
135 POWER Cleans

All DL straight, bench slow (needs more work) and power cleans straight through from round 7 on. Felt really pukey so I know I need to lock in the eating. I've done this WOD faster with heavier weights all around, I feel shame.

Amazed I didn't have to leave to go on a call!

Oh yeah, we've got three bars, two pairs of clips for the weights and only one pair that actually fit the bars properly. Thank you medical tape...

Allison-Congrats on the 100# C&J. I knew you had that in you. You'll be doing bodyweight in no time!

I did a Linda lite: scaled to a 150# person: 225dl, 150bp, 115cl.

It was about 4 min slower than last time, but I did full squat cleans this time and power cleans last time. Next time I'll have to take the weight up.

My first Linda....BRUTAL! Bench part was surprisingly the hardest part.

Here's a power output calculator from Performance Menu...

http://www.performancemenu.com/resources/powerOutput.php

Don't think I can do Linda until tomorrow, got midterms to study for today.

Just an idea for those of you that only have access to 1 bar. Sub DB bench presses for the bench and DB snatches for the cleans (obviously you will get one more on one arm, but whatever). Then you would only need 1 bar, but still get to use 2 similar movements.

Who ever it was up above (not in the heavens up above, but up above in an earlier comment) that 10-6 was a killer and that 5-1 was alright wasn't kidding. 10-6 seemed like a nightmere, 5-1 were just less physically taxing and more mentally taxing. I have been dreading this one for while and have been procrastinating doing it cause of shrunken testical syndrome with the mere thought of it! However, I am glad that I completed it!

Good luck to everyone and great job to those who went after it!

My first time with this one, and it hurt. I couldnt finish the dead lifts, only got to set of four and then only one done. Then stopped on Bench at three b/c no spot and I didnt trust myself if I got in trouble. How bad is that for only on second week of CF?

Crossfitters/Coaches:

I have been crossfitting for about six months now and I am looking to parlay the strength I have gained into martial arts training. What type of martial art would you recommend? More specifically, what martial art is most translatable from cross fit?

I'm not sure if that makes sense, but I look forward to the responses!

I work out on my lunch hour in a gym where the median age of those present is easily 55. Most days I have the free weight room to myself or with just a few others using the lat machine or dumbells. Today, I was completely by myself after the first set of "LINDA" - I have no doubt the grunting, banging weights and accumulating pools of sweat scared them away.

"I don't understand with the three bars excercise is. Can someone explain?

Comment #147 - Posted by Andrew at October 11, 2007 10:35 AM"

Andrew: In an ideal situation, you would load three bars...one for the Deadlift, one for the bench press and one for the Clean...that way there is no stopping to load/unload bars for each exercise....three bars loaded, pretty dang heavy, three bars of death!
At least this is the way I understand it. Correct me if I'm wrong ya'll!

#150. I would say choose whatever you like the most, crossfit will enhance and bring to a new level any physical activity you do. Personally it helped me a lot with my jiu-jitsu a lot. Although I don't like using this approach, but if I have to I can "outlast" and submit anyone in our club.

for all you pros....I've got one bar in our department gym, any recommendations on how to break it up with only one bar? was consdiering doing deadlifts with just chained plates...going to have to eat the time on bench and cleans...unless i just stack the chained plates and use them for the bench also...what do ya think?

this one always seems to elude me but I'm going to try to get something done. last time out I was injured and the time before that I had scheduled car maintenance and stuck hanging around the repair shop all day. Wouldn't you know it but I booked car repairs for today over a month ago to have my front axle replaced so stuck with no transportation. Linda and auto repairs two out of three times - what odds?
I'll keep my fingers crossed that the repairs are done quickly so I can still get this done tonight.
Heading to a globogym and modifying is an unpleasant thought as I'd really rather it as rx'd.

CL 135(will try rx'd 150 next time.)
Felt so much stronger and better form just from last weeks cert. Cleans were full squat and much better.

Had to scale to the following:

1 x body weight- dead lifts
3/4 x body weight- bench press
1/2 x body weight- cleans

Remembered 3/4 way through the 8 rep round that they weren't clean and jerks- just cleans...

So, finished in 36:24

Ok Boys and Girls. I think that this is going to hard. I have not done bench for a really long time. I am still sore from the jumping pullups from the other day. I am going to give it my all. I would like to meet Mr. Pukie some time. (just to make sure I am doing what I am supposed to do.

Hey my buddy and I had to break this down because we had class today...we did 10-6 this morning, then 5-1 just now. Does that significantly affect the results??

Whenever you do linda at a "gym" you always get some funny looks and people cant understand why you have to use 3 bars at once. It seems that i am the only person doing crossfit in zimbabwe, thanks its keeping me sane...

Hi everyone, first time post. I've been lurking for the last couple of months and have gradually been incorporating crossfit into my workouts. Am now taking an intro course at crossfit TO and am about a third of the way thru an adult gymnastics course. I am totally excited about my gains.
Today, I did the wod, but scaled a bit.
Deads 225, bench 155, cleans 95. Time 24:10. Next time I won't scale at all.
I really enjoy all the posts here, esp John Wopat and Spiderchick. Also thanks to Marty (#71) for introducing me to crossfit.

This is my 2nd week of crossfit nothing has ever kicked my ass so quickly i am lovin it.

Annie Sakamoto is my hero!

I did the following deadlift series: 10x250, 9x260, 8x270, 7x275, 6x280, 4x285, 3x290, 2x295, 1x300. I made the classic mistake of working out on yesterday's rest day, doing heavy presses, push presses and press jerks. I woke up this morning with a stiff right shoulder, making benches a no go and cleans chancey. I'm bummed because 3 bars of death is a WOD I fear, all the more reason to embrace it. Didn't someone famous say keep your enemies close to you? I guesss that applies to fearsome WOD's. BW:170, Y/A:59

Correction:

there "IS" a couple of benches and a pull-up bar.

Sorry, I'm a perfectionist.

Let's try this again:

there "ARE" a couple of benches and a pull-up bar.

Tim:

Tweaked my back on the round of 7. Didn't feel like a good idea to keep going on the deadlifts so I finished up at around 12 minutes (pushed the wrong button on my stopwatch). Bench press felt heavy, deadlifts felt heavy, cleans felt light (they always do) even with full squat cleans.

Oh well. That sucked.

Wow!

C: 115# @ 55 total reps = 6,325#

Total weight heaved into the air: 28,875# (that makes it seem like a lot of weight!)

in - you ready for this - 50:35

I didn't think any crossfit wod would take more than 40 minutes, but my first date with Linda proved me wrong. She's a pushy broad.

Scaled to 10-8-6-4-2:

deadlift @ 155
bench press @ 95
power clean @ 65

22:54. Then I felt bad about not doing real cleans, so:

front squats: 3 x 10 @ 65

BW: 140

Deadlift: 155
Bench: 45lb dumbells
Clean: 80lbs

35minutes

37/m/157lbs

Due to equipment limitations and skill level did the following modifications:

Reps as rx'd.

DL: 205lbs (haven't done DL for a while so scaled down)
BP: Subbed body-weight, ring push-up/fly combo (using power rings at floor level, one rep = one push-up + one chest fly)
Cleans: Only had the one bar so did full cleans with two 1-pood KBs. Felt plenty hard.

Time: 24:55

Definitely a very nasty combo of exercises.

p.s. BW is 211. I hope to do Linda as prescribed someday, but that day is a way off yet!

About 4 minutes slower than last time. I did the first couple sets of cleans with 115, but wasn't happy with the form--they were like low power cleans. So I switched to #95 after the set of 9.

Does anyone have any thoughts on whether it's better to go lower with less weight on the cleans, or to do the weight as rx'd and sacrifice some depth?

24/m/170
This was a rough one. Ended up having to scale.

10- Started DL with 255, which proved to be a bit heavy. Did one. Dropped to 225, did 5. Moved down to 185 and finished the 4. BP: 170. Clean: 125.
9- DL: 185; BP:170; Clean: 125
8- DL: 185; BP:170; Clean: 125
7- DL: 185; BP:170; Clean: 125
6- DL: 185; BP:170; Clean: 125
5- DL: 185; BP:170; Clean: 125 (getting pretty fatigued and running out of time)
4- Dropped weight DL: 135; BP: 155; Clean: 95
3- DL: 135; BP: 155; Clean: 95
2- DL: 135; BP: 155; Clean: 95
1- DL: 135; BP: 155; Clean: 95
Finished in 51:00

I was running out of time and getting pretty fatigued so I decided to drop the weight some to crank through the final rounds. This was my first "Linda". Next time time will be better and weight will be closer to prescribed!

DL - 110kg (too much) - go for 100kg next time
Bench Press (on damn smith machine as no other bar)
- 70kg (too little - no other weights available to reach body weight)
- Clean - 40kg (too light - but no other weights and probably better to keep lower as learning form)

Not quite as Rx'd as BP just under body weight and Clean at 55% not 75% body weight

Lower back pain - poor DL form from 6 reps down.

Did "Linda" around 0900, it's now 1730, my butt and back are starting to feel it~ And I mean deep in the rear muscles~
Lookin' forward for tomorrow's WOD.

My first WOD - what a day to choose.

20M/6'5"/208

I've never deadlifted or cleaned before, so I didn't go for time and instead concentrated on form. Only got down to 5, then my hands started to kill me as I don't have lifting gloves. Gotta either develop calluses or get some gloves.

One of the harder physical exercions that I can remeber, as far as non-aerobic exercises go.

I used conservative weights for DL and CL since I have no experience with those lifts.

I must say that I really enjoy this workout. I was going to stop after doing 10-8-6-4-2, but I was feeling so good, i started going back up the ladder, hence adding the 3-5. didn't make it to the 7-9, (forgot the 1), due to time constraints and not wanting to risk injury. Can't wait for it to come up again, I am thinking of doing it as Rx'ed.

humbling experience.

BW: 125lbs

scaled as follows:
DL @ 155

this was my first Linda. I've always feared and respected Linda and consider it the ultimate hot monster guy workout.

44/76"/197

First Linda - CF'ing about 6 weeks - scaled weight royally (the rx DL weight is my one rep max) but did all the reps as rx.

So:

DL - 175 lbs
BP - 135 lbs
C - 85 lbs

24:10

All unbroken sets except the 7-rep BP (5/2).

Need to increase weight next time.

Those are both Coach Glassman quotes. In one video clip - Intro to intensity - he says something to the effect of "... listen, we are pushing things to the limit. Its very possible that youll fall the eff over. You might spill your tea." And the other clip - one about crossfit resembling sport and the output of xfitters when competition is involved- he says "... you start putting times, reps, whatever on the board, and you would be surprised. People have hurt themselves seriously - metabolically - trying to prove their worth."

I felt every bit of those two quotes today, and watched those two vids for motivation last night.

Go get some, and have fun.

Well, tried to do it as Rx'ed but once I did the first round of dls and felt my back pop I decided I better scale it back.

I know that everyone gets weird looks at their gym but what do you do if you have people that wont leave you alone to complete your workout especially if it is for time? I was in the process of doing my dl's and three young kids decided it was time to max out on dl's with about 405 using poor form while I was in the process of completing the WOD about 2 feet from where I was doing cleans and dl's. And if that was not bad enough they had to give me a play by play of how they almost got it!

CSFWU X 2

Today's WOD

dl's: After the first set attempted at 285 decided to scale it back to 225 quit the dl's at 4 reps due to sore back but continued the rest of the workout. Next time I will use my body weight instead of body weight and 1/2.

bench: 190

cleans: Scaled back to 95# due to sore back following dl's and well I'm still weak on some of my lifts. My technique is improving but is becomes poor with fatigue.

Hopefully I can get out of bed tomorrow!

Thank you for posting that link. That story (as written by Marcus Lutrell in his book Lone Survivor) is simply amazing. After I finished that book, I was seriously ready to go enlist to try to become a SEAL (an ambition that I have considered since high school), but I am now too old (29, I believe the max age for new entry is 28), and I have a wife and two young daughters (2 yrs old & 8 weeks old) at home. God bless all of you who are serving and who have served our country. You have my full support & we've got your back here at home.

HELP NEEDED!!!!!
I am usually a truely passionate and dedicated Crossfitter, but lately I have lost some of the intensity that I had in large supply. It is driving me CRAZY!!! I love Crossfit and the community that is so deeply involved with the program, and that is why I am reaching out to fellow Crossfitters for some sort of inspiration and motivation to find what I have recently lost. To be completely honest, I feel weak for lacking the fortitude to find "IT" myself especially when I know that others of you out there have gone through similar situations and simply "sacked-up" and got through it. If anyone has something that they think would help, please don't hesitate to post or e-mail. Thanks

I used:

Started doing Linda over a year and a half ago with this weight. I have never finished it until today. I am 10 pounds heavier today than when I started trying this so I am not sure if this is truly a victory or not. But at least its completed!

I am running behind so I will get to this next week. However, I saw some cat in the gym bust a 21:00 Linda with 225 DL, 135 power clean, and 205 bench press. Totally AWESOME time. I will see how I do shortly. This is by far the worst workout I have tried. Last time was 38:00 and I spent a good deal of time on the floor.

thank you so much annlee and nate for posting that link about "murph"! very touching and very well deserved!

thanks to all the other servicemen and women out there. if there is one place that will never forget you, its here! thanks, again!

this is my second week religiously following the wod's and today is my first sweet kiss with linda. was so nervous about this wod but once i got going it was yummy, in a very sadistic sort of way.

deadlift: 135 lbs
bench press: 65 lbs
clean: 55 lbs (my first real cleans! i hope I was doing them right)

forgot to mention that i had to run around my gym and stack and restack the weights. as I broke out of my concentration for a moment during my rat race from one rack to the next i noticed that the other members were all pretty much stagnate just sitting on their machine of choice or staring at themselves in the mirror (or at me running around and sweating my ass off like a maniac :)

What does the modified version of Linda entail (i.e. if you only have 1 bar with which to work)? Sorry if this has already been asked/answer. Thanks in advance.

I was really ready to go...or so I thought after about six weeks of CF. 1.5 times my body weight for deadlifts is 295...I couldn't lift it once. Scaled back as follows: DL 225 vice 295; BP 185 vice 195; CL 135 vice 145.

Scaled back this workout big time, but still on completed up to 5.

attempted a modified Linda today; failed. Strained my low back at 4 reps of 8 on the deadlifts. Gonna study deadlift intensively and do light weights gradually increasing over the next few weeks for recovery and proper technique. I overestimated my strength, methinks.

I've been crossfitting for about 3wk or so...

Is it more important that I am concentrating on how i'm doing the weight or the intensity of the work out or both. i'm progress but I'm still @ the bottom of the Moutain!

SUGGESTION FOR THOSE NEEDING CHALK! I have noticed on today's post as well as past posts that some people are running into the problem of their non-XFit gyms not having or allowing chalk. I too ran into this problem and I found awhile back that a good substitute is a rock-climbing chalk bag. I personally had my own already along with the climbers bag that you carry it in (chalk bags can be bought for very little at most outdoor athletic stores)and was using that at a gym that didn't have any. Then I joined a different gym that didn't allow you to use it at all (really...what kind of gym is that?) so now I just keep the climbers bag with the chalk bag in it bundled up in my jacket and dip into it whenever needed. Plus, I have found that if you get into the zone while you are lifting (especially on a day like "Linda") that most of a gyms staff are way too afraid/intimidated to really say anything in the first place. Try it out, hope it works for ya!

There are 2 gyms on campus. I went to the one that's not setup for powerlifting. So, I had to use the same bar for cleans and deadlifts. With all the weight-changings, it was 40 minutes before I was halfway through. I'm 6'5"-6'6" and 240lbs and haven't lifted actual weights in a while. My lanky self wasn't about to dead lift 360. I did 315 first and then backed down to 275 after that. After 40 minutes, I knew I was taking too long and getting that over-training feeling. I'll make sure I go to the right place and go early next time so I can do this right. This was a motivating workout!

James (comments 294, 309 and 347): Those blisters will most likely turn into calluses. Chalk will definitely help minimize the wear and tear on your hands, and reading through the substantial discussions on the Message Board of how to care for calluses will help you keep yours in good repair.

Boxer4, I also find Spider Chick an inspiration! I'd like a t-shirt with "WWSCD?" on it.

Thanks to those who posted the link about Lt. Murphy's Medal of Honor.

I'm off to tackle Linda, but with Power Cleans since I have promised to do no squats until after the Marathon. Will still be a challenge, especially since I still have only one bar! Thank goodness for dumbbells.

29:00 only got through reps of 4 before the gym booted me.

Last time had to scale the DL's slightly. I think the times would have been about the same, maybe a little quicker this time. My bench is actually weaker, every thing else is stronger. Fair trade.

#315 Travis H.

Hey bro, couple of things to ponder over: 1)Commitment, and the lack of, is one of the main reasons people give up on trying to get and stay in shape. When you make something like XFit a lifelong thing, you are going to run into those walls from time to time. They are almost always mental. Commitment is to hang in there until you finally break through 2)On the other end of the spectrum, even with something as unpredictable as XFit WOD's, you might need a short, or long break. I usually end up doing this once or maybe twice a year, usually lasting for around a week. I stop everything but light, short jogging and stretching even if I feel like I want to workout out. By the time I reach a week or two, I am so pumped to get back to it that it really jump starts my batteries. Plus I feel all fat and nasty by then also:) Other things to consider is getting different music/headphones which really helps me zone out everything and get gazelle intense on my workouts. And speaking of problems with intensity, experiment with different ways of breathing to get you "juiced" the couple seconds right before throwing weight around. Something else might be to change the time of day that you usually workout at. And if nothing else works, maybe try training for something so that you have a short term goal to go after. Do whatever it takes to reboot your motivation, even if that means doing nothing for a little while.

This is my third full Crossfit workout and though I've got the basic lifts, I can't get the proper form for the oly lifts (I'd never done them before).

This may sound like a joke, but here are 3 options to get re-motivated, two of which worked for me:

Option 1. If you drink too much, quit.

Option 2. If you don't drink too much, call all those guys that your wife or girlfriend hates and get obliterated making as much of an ass of yourself as you can.. and don't question anything you do. Wake up the next morning and do "Cindy". For the rest of the day ponder why you have been such a p**sy.

Option 3. Shave your head.

Happy CrossFitting.

Travis #315,
Sounds like a case of over-training, or under recovery for that matter. Ultimately, exercise is stress. As is lack of sleep. As is lack of proper nutrition. As is being 22, a recent college grad and trying to figure out what you want to be when you grow up. As is working at a gym that treats their employees like sh*t (I know from experience). Dump CrossFit on top of all of these other things and something is bound to give, whether it's lack of motivation, chronic fatigue, sickness, disease, etc.

I would heed #367 Montana's advice and possibly take a full week off and see how you respond mentally and physically. You should also consider the importance of nutrition, water consumption, proper sleep and other lifestyle factors that account for a large percentage of how we feel, look and perform on a daily basis.

Or, you could just pony up the cash and attend a certification. Hearing Coach in person will light a fire under your arse for sure...

Let me know what I can do to help.

sounds like you are pretty darned motivated on a killer workout like Linda! 18 minutes is a great time. freakin OPT does it in 15 minutes so you are right on the heels of the best crossfitter in the world. we should all have it so tough. but seriously what Montana says is right. if you don't feel motivated, take a week off and rest. then when you come back, take a week or two and just work on your weaknesses. then get back on the regular wods. might help but really, sounds like you are already a monster crossfitter. good luck.

bench was dumbbell, and without a spotter, I think this caused some of my ROM to suffer just so I could finish the volume. at least 90 degrees though, which causes me to "feel" bench in my chest more, I've found. that might be more of a bodybuilding thing though.

I confess I haven't been posting because my times suck compared to all of you. This one took a lot of fortitude to finish. At times it was more mentally challenging than physically. I was tired and it seemed like I would never finish.

Time - 1 hr 20 minutes - :-(

M 36 5'10" 172.5

No barbell, no plates, gonna have to go with the dumbbells. Form so bad, your grandmother is crying right now. Really, go check.

Compensating for small load with extra reps.
20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 reps:
DB Deadlift: 2x30# DB
DB Bench Presses (from the ground): 2x20# DB
DB Cleans (oh, goodness): 2x15# DB

25:43, HR: 160 avg, 190 max

I only have one bar and I have to share it with my brother.

So we did Linda alternating the sets and switching plates in between. Total workout time was about 55 minutes.

55 KG Clean
75 KG Bench Press

I have never done a bench press before and I concentrated on my clean form. Cleans got smoother and deeper once I got into it.

36/m/145

Finishing up 3rd week of CF - First Linda

As Rx'd except Power cleans for Hang Cleans (I can't do Hang Cleans yet)

55:47
220# DL
145# BP
110# Power Clean

Bench was weakest link and by far took most time. Actually got stuck once and had to squeeze out from under bar. Completed all reps. Great to do weight as Rx'd. Hands are nice and cut up now, can't wait for Murph tomorrow.

Previous post, meant I can't do SQUAT Cleans yet. Also, workout was at home with one bar, so lots of weight changes.

I have been doing Crossfit on and off for two years. This past year, my company has kept me from the gym. NO MORE!

The following is the reason why:

DL: 315 - 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 --- and I stopped because of a tweak in my back.
BP: 225 - 10, 9, 8, ...1 --- I used to be able to do 315.
Power Clean - Due to the tweak in my back, I did leg presses in sets of 10 at 360 as quickly as I could.

I WILL GET BACK TO MY PREVIOUS STRENGTH!

M/43/195

BP 115 (80% of rx'd)
CL 65 (60% of rx'd)

31 mins... BP's could have been higher, cleans too, but need to work on form first. DL's were brutal.

As many others, after a week I've realized I only THOUGHT I was in shape! Keep it coming!

38/f/139

I don't have the bars or weights in my home gym to do this without getting really annoyed and frustrated with all the weight changing. I'll give this a go when I can get to the gym at work.

Last time, I used heavier weights, though still slightly scaled down. By the 18-minute point, I had completed three rounds and had to quit. This time, I scaled way down, but completed the whole thing (as was my goal):

Deadlifts: 225 lbs. (100% BW vice 150%)
Bench: 185 lbs. (82% BW vice 100%)
Clean: 120 lbs. (53% BW vice 75%)

Very humbling (and now hobbling) experience!
After 10,9... I dropped the DL's from 300lb to 225lb, and the cleans from 155lb to 135lb.
I wanted to give up many times. The main thing that kept me going was all the spectators at my bodybuilding gym.

Took me 1:01 vs. last time of 43 and change. I felt much stronger this time around on my 2nd Linda although this much DL is pretty tough for me. Time increase has to almost all be attributed to one bar in home gym. Pretty wiped today after finishing last night's Linda. Murph will feel good tonight! I actually mean that!

Today I made it up through round six and stopped. For me this is the most demanding WOD, maybe I should scale it down (more). Can't wait till it comes up again and improve...today was 53+ minutes.

BP continue to be my weakness, not surprising since I rarely do them. Hesitant to go at rx'd weight because of no spotter and shoulder pain. Postponed my scheduled BB work-out due duel Linda, and will do likewise tomorrow to honor Murph.

That’s roughly 15 minutes better than the first time plus a few pulled lower back muscles from a couple of Linda’s along the way. I guess it’s time to add a little more weight 8| Thanks Coach!

I'm happy w/ this time. Last time it took over an hour and the fact that i wasnt using 3 bars didnt help either. This time i was repping that 225lbs. Felt like a monster and everyone in the gym thought so to.:) Ive only been doing this consistently now for 3months and the results are freakish. Missed a few days to a stomach virus but felt great getting in yesterday. Also made up the last 2-WOD afterwards. 16min after Linda, and max weighted pull was 60lbs, and i aint mad. :)

I could move up a few pounds each on D/L and BP (and keep form, with more broken reps) but need to stay at low weight cleans until form stays decent throughout. On the whole, I'm satisfied, as I was able to use 3 bars with a reasonably packed gym (I think people were wondering what the heck I was doing, though ;} )

Thank you guys for the reply to my cry for help. I think that the first step that I will experiment with is improving my daily nutrition habits. Hopefully that will do the trick, but if not I will try to take a break...even if it drives me insane! Missing WODs is the worst feeling, but I have to think about the long run, too. Again, thank you guys for the helpful suggestions.

I actually did the first set of PC with 135lbs before I realized I was getting tired a lot faster than last time. hehe

Well, this was the first WOD at Crossfit that I tried. I just tried to complete it, and didn't do anything close to my bodyweight as far as weight. (I was afraid I might destroy my back if I tried!) It was really fun!

Scaled to a base BP weight of 115 (10lbs more than last time), so more weight and a 1 minute faster time. Considering I've been off for 9 days, this is pretty satisfying. All sets were unbroken, so I'll bump up the weight another step next time.

You all don't read this by now, however this workout killed. BW 185, however I calc'd as if I weigh 200#. Therefore:
DL = 300#
BP= 205#
CLN= 155#

After the first round, I was already winded. Going into the 3rd round, I wanted to die. My back gave out on DL by the 5th round and I skipped it. After that, I simply concentrated on not fainting for the rest of the rounds.

It took 25 minutes to do this one. That was on Friday, and my hamstrings are so destroyed that I am still walking like a hooker.

As a newcomer to CrossFit, I wasn't prepared for the torrent of pain that awaited me. Fantastic job you guys/girls do. Awesome.

This was one of the hardest workouts I've done in my 20yrs of weight training (feel SO old saying that).

I weigh 160 pounds now but i took off a few pounds
Also I did 10-8-6-4-2 which is 31 reps instead of 55 but i didnt have too much time.

dl-185- All sets unbroken
bp-155- only broke up the first set of 10
full squat cleans-115- broke up the first sets into halves

time was 23:00 mins exactly

also did 135x10 bp just cause we never do bp much

I should bump up the deadlift weight next time because i should technically be doing 240 which is wayyyy to much right now.

Only did rounds 10,9,8 - took me about 40 minutes; ran out of time. Got mixed up about the DLs, but the real propblem is my BP. I was doing whimpering singles, grinding out every single one

M/33/ 133 lbs
First time doing Linda.. I have to admit that I was a little nervous.
I didn't have enough time alloted, so I got through, 10,9,8,7,6,5, and then just banged out 10 reps bench and had to leave after a really quick stretch.
Honestly, I haven't really done deadlifts in quite some time, but they felt great. The bench was the easiest, and I am starting to get a little quicker with the cleans, but I'm a little off (in bottome position) in getting under the bar for the catch point.. I'll have to keep working on it. The cleans were the only ones that really made me suck wind for a bit. I will really try to have a seperate bar for the clean and the deadlift next time as well... taking plates off and on is a serious drag, not to mention, lifting the bar up and then back down each time to get it ready for the next exercise... that sucked. I am looking forward to trying this again when I have more like 40 - 50 minutes... I felt so much faster after 7. Great workout. Thanks.
Keep on keepin on and enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday... great day for eating, playing and watching sports and family... what a great holiday.

33/M/ 133 lbs
135 bench, 95 clean, 185 deadlift
First time doing Linda and I have to admit that I was a little bit nervous.... that's usually good for a good workout.
I didn't really have enough time alloted so in about 28 minutes or so, I got through 10,9,8,7,6,5, and then just banged out 10 reps bench and had to stretch and get to work.
I liked the workout a lot, and I was pleasantly surprised how the deadlifts felt. I haven't really done them in a long time, so I went 10 lbs light... not next time. The only exercise that I had to break were the cleans. Those really get my wind going and are a fantastic move.
The bench and the deadlifts weren't bad at all.
I have to work on getting a little better bottom position with my cleans.. the speed is comming and I'm getting a little higher now.. especially when I'm only using 95 lbs. That was what I liked was that weight really allowed me to work hard and also concentrate on form.
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. I'm so blessed for my wife and children and family.. not to mention for my health.. everyone on this site who's giving it their all should be thankful that they have the health and ability to allow themselves to push hard and enjoy a healthy strong body.
Enjoy a great day of eating, family and playing and watching sports.. what a great holiday.
