i've been refreshing for hours...
good way to close out the set. Good health to all.
This picture may cause more trouble than it is worth.
I don't normaly post here, but I almost need a diaper after seeing that photo
That picture was worth waiting up for!
the best part of that video is definitely the kids doing burpees in the background during connor's thrusters. that's what i imagine i look like when i do burpees.
Should I do normal squats since I can't do pistols?
I was just thinking that I needed to come up with a new way to restrain babies... Hickory beat me to it
I would like to finish the trifecta with honor, but scaling Mary is strange territory. Maybe some kind of assisted HSPU, regular squats, and pull-ups? Yeah.
Ok. linda then murph then mary.
Pistols. Time to suck it up.

cheers,

Been on the crossfit train now for 3 months. Have seen major gains across the board. But when I first saw the handstand push up, I knew I could get going after a little practice, & can now deal with them. BUT this one leg squat thing, for a chicken leg type of guy my age is a steep hill.
Where there is a will there is a way. Will get creative with a rope and an overheard cheater hookup. GOD BLESS LT. MURPHY
Retired Master Chief
OK, the kid looks content while reaching out to reassure her duck while dad snaps the photo. (It's gotta be dad's duct tape job?!)
But...the duck! The poor duck is strung up by the neck. How could you?!
:)
#8 - A better sub would be doing pistols while holding onto a doorframe for assistance. Jim Bathurst has a very good description on his site.
Why...oh...why!
Must say this has probably been the toughest set I've done so far. I am definitely looking forward to this upcoming rest day.
the one leg squat, is that with your leg in front or behind or what... i tried to find a demo, didnt see one...help
I always said CrossFit is an attitude. Perhaps that picture says it all.
Hi a newbie here! like pmbattles I'm trying to figure out what the one legged squats are. thanks,
v.
OMG that is priceless!!!!
I am a social worker and my husband is a police officer and we are avid crossfitters. I don't mean to wreck the fun but i have to say that picture is disturbing. We have both seen similar incidents when investigation child abuse cases. If possible, could you please remove it as I am sure many of the other police and professionals may find it offensive.
PS - 57 min for "murph"
is it 10 on one leg, then 10 on the other in 1 round? or is it 5 and 5 to total 10? or is it 10 with one leg on a given round, then 10 with the other on the next round
which is it?
#8- At One World, for pistol assistance, we use the pull-up rubberbands (Held with one or two hands overhead) or we place a hand on a pull-up post for support. Both variations work well, but I really like the band assisted ones cuz you can scale assistance by using different sized bands.
P.S. We get our bands from www.ironwoodyfitness.com
Don't Remove the PIC! It's the funniest thing I've ever seen, and we all know its spossed to be in good hummor, Not child abuse, If you find it offensive, lighten up. The kid will laugh his butt off once he old enough to show his buddys at a High School party!
That Picture is off the chart! LMAO and ROTG
Priceless
#23 flower3636
It is a post like yours that really concerns me in pondering which direction our society is going. The child is not in harms way, appears very content, healthy, and has a smile. While your vigilance is warranted in some situations, the mindset that we must intervene in all matters dealing with childcare is ridiculous.
About comment # 23
I'm a cop, married to a nurse, and we both thought the pic was hilarious. And the kiddo seems to be interested in what is going on, not upset, unhappy, uncomfortable, abused, ect. in any fashion. It's a fun photo and that little one will be proud of it someday.
And God bless Lt. Murphy for his dedication to duty and his men, and for his knowing sacrifice of his own life to save his brothers. His like are the foundings of this great nation.
Just finished Murph in 62:43 Squats were ok Push ups were Ok Pull Ups thrashed me - I kip poorly!
I think I ran a 10min mile on the return journey to my house is that like an anti record?
But seriously if it is that hard to run after a hard workout imagine running after being shot a few times... Thanks to all serving their respective nations in combat and non combat roles, much appreciated.
ROFL at the pic!
That's a good idea for daycare - the kids can't run anywhere.
Great Pic, might not make it on to a shirt, but definitely funny and definitely CF.
HAhahahahahahaha the picture is awesome!
I'm on ur wall supervisin the wod.
im at work and the air force blocks videos from being seen on these firestation computers can some one explain these 'pistols'?
#35
go up to #21. Dammit posted a great video from Utube on what pistols are and how to them. Then go to #25 and One World posted great assistance ideas!
Thanks Crossift Austin for the utube demo, Dammit for posting it, One World for the assistance hints and Coach for making this one of the mosst taxing 3 day sets I've done! Get it!
Good luck everyone!
"Train Hard or Go the F$#@ Home!"
#35
I should have read your post completely before I posted last. My appologies.
Pistols are one leg squats. The leg not on the ground is out in front at a slight angle not on the ground. Arms extended out in front for ballance. One of the best ways to describe it is if you have ever seen rollerskating videos from the old days, and they squat down on one skate with the other skate out infront of them. Well, it's that position, but without the skates! LOL!
#35 Paden
I'll take a shot. A pistol is a one-legged squat. Extend one leg out to the front while standing (doesn't have to be and probably won't be a perfect "L" extensions). Lower down into a full squat, which for me is typically very deep. Return to standing. When learning, it helps to hold onto something. Someone above mentioned doing these in a door-frame, in which you'd put your hands to either side for assistance (both in balance and getting out of the hole). If you can do them assisted like this, then progress to holding light dumbells in hands with hands extended to the front for balance assistance. When doing Mary, I alternate legs. Unlike normal squats, your back will round at the bottom of a pistol.
Funny Pic!
Holy Moly, someone must have removed all the easier WOD's from the hopper.
finished 8 rounds + 5 hspu and 10 1 leg squats
m/55/198
wish I had a picture like that in my baby album..
day behind murph in 30:00. American heros, all of them.
sub: 5 mins stairmaster (level 12), 150 skips in place of mile runs. dark here at 3:30 am.
Agree w/ # 30. We all know it's all in good fun.
It's sad however, because I can undestand #33's point. They have seen things the average person has not. One of the reasons why I have to take a break from watching the news every few days, well at least Nancy Grace...he he
Oh and thanx for posting the CFkidfit. Don't know how long it's been under the daily WOD cuz I just now noticed it. LOVE CFK by the way.
Only popped off 3 HSPU's (free), so switched to extremely elevated PU's for "Mary"
9 rounds on the button... those 1-leg squats are harder than they seem (balance with leg straight out to the front was interesting)
Going to start integrating a 2nd workout in per day, probably just cardio + abs, but we'll see how it goes on the next set!
#42 Holy shnikeys! 30:00 "Murph"? Way to get some. That surely must be the record. I know I didn't see any times yesterday under 35:00. That's like frickin' world class. Be interested in knowing some of your other WOD times. Where's OPT? Wonder if he ever turned in a 30:00 "Murph".
That is hands down, the GREATEST Crossfit picture EVER.
This police officer thinks the picture is hilarious. Those who would find fault in its delivery should develop thicker skin. Besides, it looks Photoshopped to me.
Regarding the picture...I'm surprised no feels bad for the stuffed duck. The poor thing is taped up by the neck, oh the humanity!
If the Elias Sports Bureau covered CrossFit, surely it would be busy researching the following conjecture: The current three-day sequence of Linda, Murph, Mary sets the all-time record for most work (= force * distance) ever prescribed. Given that all three of these WOD’s are for time, they should also hold the record for the most power (= force * distance / time) ever required.
Can any CrossFit historian provide a counter example to refute this claim?
32/F/5'10"/153#
Hmmm. Early morning + extreme DOMS from 'Linda' and 'Murph' = pitiful workout; only 5 rounds. First time doing 'Mary;' next time WILL be better!
Let’s not overlook the other big problems with the picture:
(1) It’s offensive to those who work with bulimics
(2) It’s offensive to those who work with clowns.
M/22/6'1"/185
!6 rounds doing 5 pistols each leg per round. Hope I did that right. Almost got to 17, just 7 pullups off.
My water polo tournament this weekend is going to hurt, real bad.
6 games in 2 days following Linda, Murph and Mary.
Awesome pic and my favorite kid in the video is the big one doing burpees on the left during Connor's thrusters, priceless
9 sets total.... not free HSPU... feet against the wall....
48/M/170 Jim 6 pull-ups shy of 12 rounds
42/M/200 David 8 pull-ups shy of 10 rounds
I have to echo #16 Ben. I have been doing CrossFit for almost 5 months and I think this is the nastiest set I've seen yet.
33/M/175
"Murph"
34:18 w/o body armor
That picture is frikkin' hilarious! #51 too funny.
RELAX PEOPLE - look closely, it is a Photoshop job. The child was not actually duct tapped to a wall.
And, if you've met any CrossFit parents, you'd know it'd never happen.
The only child abuse you need to worry about is that CFKid video bwahaha
44/175
8 rounds with 1 second to spare.
I would say as rx'ed but the caveats are:
Used wall for HSPU balance
Put back of hands on door way opening for balance on pistols.
After Linda and Murph, I'll take it.
I need a break from kb snatches and jerks.
As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes:
15 70# Ironwoody bag "snatch grip-zercher catch" squat cleans (butt to ankles depth with full hip extension before dropping bag to ground each rep)
15 kipping pullups
7 rounds + 3 squat cleans. No breaks on pullups, but plenty of breaks on the squat cleans. Very difficult to drive fast into the hole to catch the bag the final rounds. Pullups a bit harder than usual as my biceps were fatigued from holding the bag during the zercher "catch and stand ups".
37/m/170
as Rx'd: 10 rounds + 5 HSPU + 10 OLS
last three days killed me, really need a day off tomorrow.
10 one leg squats per leg or 10 total?
#51 Hari,
I'd like to second your comments. In fact as lead counsel for One Eyed Bulimic Clowns of America (Local 3,2,1) I'll be preparing litigation against the parties involved and those not involved in posting this picture.
Fair Warning.

bw: 192
First Mary. 3/4 ROM on hspu, assisted pistols.
7 rounds
m/18/bwt:154
as rx'd (including the unassisted pistol squats): 11 rounds + 5 hspu's
man, i thought i avoided mary when we got to pick cindy or mary recently. oh well. 3-2-1-go.
for mary, is it 5 pistols per leg per set, or 10 pistols per leg per set?
-if you have an answer i have an email and a blog. i dont normally check these comments here for responses. thanks.
52:04 for Murph - that was brutal. after 8 sets of 10/20/30, the pullup bars at the gym all became occupied so i thought, would LT have complained? no, he wouldve found a way or made one. so i finshed off combining my last 2 sets (40/60/80) by doing jumping pull-ups on the smith press machine.
for anyone actually offended by this picture today, get over yourself. its hilarious. youre obviously not a true crossfitter. im sure bally's has some great rates this time of year. but if you really cant handle it, look closely. its actually just a cut-and-pasted photoshop picture. i think thats a picture of annie's baby, too, if im not mistaken.
#24 Never mind child abuse...."Linda", "Murph", then "Mary" all in a row? That's abuse!
46 / 171
5 rounds and 4 HSPUs
used wall for HSPU
used door frame for balance during pistols
full ROM on HSPU - first time, maybe not the last couple
Tim at FOB Warhorse
9 rounds with a nicely ripped callous. Rest day tomorrow Whoohoo
Had to sub all... not full ROM for hspu, a little support for one legged squat, and jumping pullups. Still only five rounds plus hspu...
CFWU: Completed five rounds with some modifications.
HSPU - improving but I still have a way to go. Did first two rounds with feet on raised smith machine bar. Could only get 4 good reps on the 3rd (added 1 inclined pushup); 1 good rep on 4th (added 4 inclined pushups); only 2 good reps on 5th (added 3 incline pushups): One Legged Squats - first ever attempt - used 2 power bands to assist and steady. Last set of pullups were jumping pullups (trying to beat the clock).
M/46/6'/195#
Nice one. I have only tried Mary once due to lacking the ability to get butt to ankles on the pistols.
I was thinking that maybe we would be going into some alphabetical thing so Linda, Murphy, Nancy
I'll take Mary for now.
25 m 6'0 187#
I led PT for my small group (Army guys) yesterday and concocted this WOD for everyone. I had never attempted it and luckily it turned out well.
"Legal Age"
3 rds for time of:
800m run
21 1.5 pood KB swings
21 Pullups
42 pushups
42 situps
42 squats
21 Burpees
The guys enjoyed it and it isn't all that equipment intensive. It took me 36 minutes. I probably could have put a little more effort into the 800s. Send any feedback.
Kris Hager, father of Josh Hager for whom the WOD "Josh" is named will be interviewed on my father's radio show-Backbone Radio with John Andrews- on Sunday night at 7pm MST. You can listen live on line at www.710knus.com. It promises to be a timely piece with the sacrifices of Murph so fresh in everyone's minds, and bodies.
m30/170 pressed for time, 6 rounds in 14.20
Haven't seen the answer to this yet- is it 10 pistols per leg per round or is it 10 on 1 leg per round and switch the next round, or is it 5 per leg per round?
14 sets in 20:21....jumping pull-ups...otherwise as rx'd...three straight days of hell...thanks crossfit.
M/25/220/5'9
5 rounds as Rx'd. I did 10 one leggers per leg per set. Pullups were assisted as were one leggers HSPU with feet on the wall.
6 rounds of Mary in 15 min. run out of time
partial hspu, rest as rx'd
have fun, Johan
Age 35
BW 148#
As rx'd:
One-legged squats sketchy
12 rounds + 5 HSPU
10 rounds + 5 HSPU + 2 one-leg-squats
HSPU were against wall to depth of 4 books; squats were unassisted; pull-ups were mostly unbroken.
re: comment #46 john33, check post #43 sub: stairmaster and single unders for mile run.
cardio component 13:00, push up, pull up, squat 17:00
Hate to be repetitive, but I did the 300 squats of Murph this morning, and my legs would really like to know, is it 5 pistols per leg per round or 10?
too bad we don't have more wall space at CFSC...
#24--
I'm a police officer and have done my fair share of child abuse investigations, and I don't find the picture offensive.

I took on LINDA today for the 1st time. I only had one bar available so had to strip the weight each time.
As rxd: 41m:52s
Mark
6 rounds
HSPU were full range
Assisted pistols with ring for balance
#78 TAD
Found in the FAQ section:
2.12. What's a Pistol? How do I do it?
Stand on one leg, with the other leg out in front and parallel to the floor. Hands go out in front to help balance. Sit back and down, as if sitting in a very low chair. At the bottom your support foot is flat and your hamstrings/glute is resting on your calf. Now stand back up to the starting position.
That is one rep.
A great article on pistols can be found at PowerAthletesMag.
as rx'd nose to floor, butt to ankles 9 rounds +25 reps, first time with "Mary"
Understand that is one rep. Are we doing 10 reps per leg or 10 reps on whichever leg we want?
#92 TAD
I dont know about you but with the DOMS setting in I am going for a total of ten reps per round.
5 each leg per set, try it it should be plenty.

subs: piked HSPU; pistols with tubing -- did 10 per leg each round; jumping pullups
4 rounds + 5 HSPU, 9 Left pistols
nothing in the tank today. sad effort, but i've never done this WOD, so its a starting point. 4 WOD this week was brutal, also got back late from a soccer roadtrip for work. ready for my rest day!
ck
mhlane, great time yesterday and an interesting breakdown of reps.
Was that also done with the additional 20lbs vest, if so even more impressive.
m/39/150
Brilliant Picture, just saw the duct tape baby two days ago. Clearly photoshopped. First go with Mary. 3/4 range on all but the first 5 HSPU, alternated legs each round for pistols, used stretch band for balance on right and help on left. pull ups as RX'd. 8 rounds + 5 HSPU 10 pistols.
5 + 5 hspu as rx, nose to ground hspu, first time with official pistols, wasted a lot of energy repeating reps where i didn't maintain balance all the way to standing.
I want to know what Pukie ate that resembles an eyeball. That's just NAAAASTY.
8 rounds
Pullups were tough after yesterday.
Steve
feet on bed for hspu
hand on wall for pistols
pullups mostly jumping after 1st rnd
6 sad little rounds total
8 rounds
Pullups were a beeyatch after the last two days. Used a squat rack to assist on pistols. Feet started to come off the wall in HSPU. I'm hoping to soon be able to do them free standing. My lower back was lying next to me in the bed this morning telling me "we need to have a serious talk!"
Intent:
No vest, wish I had one. I see all you guys at OPT used a vest. That must have been brutal. I am torn as to try to get a vest for next time Murph shows up or go for sub 30 which I think is achievable.
Mike
Wu- 3x 15 sit ups and supermans, samsons
WOD- 5 rounds
only did 10 push ups per round. I am toast after the last few work outs.
hspu's still doing them modified (knees)
Squats done using a post on my deck for balance. They were not pretty.
1st day to Crossfit due to a buddy introducing me to it last night. I guess I chose the wrooooong day to start. Threw up after three rounds and the hand stands. Tried to keep going, but chucked again on the pull up station. My Bad.
Great pic.
21/M/160
I was really weak today, I guess.
HSPUs were only at 45 degrees.
Squats were probably not low enough, or the quiet right form.
After the first 5 pull-ups I went to jumping. All the pull-up sets were broken.
6 rounds + 5 HSPUs + 10 one-legged squats
29yo M 165lb 5’10”
CFWU x 3, 5 pull ups, 5 ring dips per round.

M/28/195lbs
4 Rounds + 5 Assisted HSPU
All HSPU's were assisted, as well as pistols, pull ups were for the most part jumping. These last three days have been hard on my body. Looking forward to rest tomorrow.
Each time I get to pick between Cindy and Mary I choose Cindy because I cannot do efficient one legged squats yet. I have 3 questions. 1.) how do you practice them? 2.)how can they be assissted? 3.) DOes Mary call for 10 on each leg or 5 on each leg?
2 rnds + 5 hspu, 10 pistols, 8 cu
Did 5 complete rounds. Tried to do everything as unassisted as possible so it took forever. Did 10 1-legged squats per leg per round with rings lowered down to hold for support.
Can't wait to have this for lunch.. :)
www.angrydalty.com/corssfit.htm
Elevated pu's, reg. squats, asst pull-ups:
11 + 5 pu's
11 rds + 5 hspu, 10 one leg squats,+ 1 pull-up
Pull-ups killed me today.
Great Workout!
Well, that was somewhat of a step down from my PR (10 rounds, pulled off twice). I couldn't get more than 6 pistols no matter what I tried; something is Not Right with my lower back after Linda. I think I may have injured my lumbar vertebrae.
1 round.
First time with Mary. I have always chosen Cindy before.
As Rx'd, PUs on rings
5 rds+5HSPUs+2pistols
Way better than I expected. I managed three HSPUs the first go all but the 3rd round. Pistols unbroken but form a little off. Improved as I went and no surprize they got a little easier as my form improved. What a cycle! I'm so glad for rest day tomorrow.
#110 brandon837 I was going to say just scroll up and use the info others have provided but it looks like Chad (#114) has got the best answer I've seen!
5 Rounds. Pistols were ugly, significantly less than full ROM.
Paid the price for always choosing Cindy over Mary.

9 rounds (PR)
First time doing pistols unassisted, did butt to bottom of decline/ab bench. I think I could have made 10 rounds but spent too much time running around looking for a place to do pull-ups each round as everyone wanted to use the squat rack or weird dip/pull-up station this morning.

First as rx'd Mary

finally got nose to ground on hspu... just took awhile
7 rounds and it was tough ...splitting headache and ripped up hands...need a day off bad.....
ok, so I forgot to time my "murph" yesterday, but it was pretty intense. Today, I think I got around 13ish rounds for mary, I was doing jumping pull-ups, woosey I know, but my hands are still torn from LAST time I did this workout, which wasn't that long ago. I can't do straight hand stand push ups yet either, so those were with my feet on a bar.
So today was my first crossfit since about 2 or 3 months ago and i pulled some muscles in my back during football a few weeks ago.. My dad (bingo) thought it'd be good to do cindy to get me back into shape and ready for the last 2 weeks of football..(i also think of it as a pre-lacrosse season workout)
i got in 17 rounds but had to do jumping p/u after the 4th round and had to do incline pushups after the 7th..... all and all i feel pretty good but im sure it'll come back 'round and hit me tomorrow
I have great respect and appreciation for Coach Glassman, but after the last three days, I'm also starting to harbor a sincere dislike for the man.
First time doing Murph. I couldn't fit it in yesterday. I posted the article about Lt. Murphy on facebook. Hopefully people will find it inspiring.

WOD
DJ: 9rds +5 hspu (10 Figure-4 One Legged Squats per leg per rd.)
Sara: 7rds +5 push-ups +13 Lunges (PU's assisted)
Modified Sara's due to pre-existing knee issues. Great job considering she couldn't do a real Push-up not too long ago. My HSPU's were all Forehead to deck. Calouses slowed up PU'S. That or I was being a lil-girl. Thought doubling up on the un-assited Figure-4 squats would be easier on some dings. They were.
Now to drink some Guinness & pray for a Notre Dame victory.
Lil-Bingo- Glad to see you're back at it. Hope your back holds up & tell your dad hi for me.
Get some, Go again!
9 + 3 hspu - heels slightly elevated on pistols.
I was a bit apprehensive about doing this one as I hurt my knee last fall doing Mary. The pistols improved as the rds went on, so warm up is key on this one. I still need major practise on the hspu. The good thing is after physio on Weds. my elbow has finally stopped giving me pain. Looking forward to the rest day.

8 rounds, feet on wall for hspu
43/6'1"/188
6 rounds plus 3 hspu of a modified mary. did 135lb. squats instead of pistols.
had almost nothing in the tank after linda and murph and almost skipped today but glad i didn't. feeling some tendonitis in my left knee i think from all the air squats we've been doing lately so decided today was not a good day for working on my pistols. so ready to do nothing tomorrow.
Wow, legs and back was dead today after last night Murphy. This was my second ever WOD and it dominated me.
m/31/5'8"/196
did 5 rounds plus 5 HSPU, 10 pistols each leg and 8 pullups
Thanks for the great workouts!!!
12 full plus 3 pull-ups of the 13th round, so a partial round more than Sept 29th. Sorry, Rob, no 13 full today.
HSPU too slow this time, I didn't have the pop today. Pistols much better partly due to proper footwear (lifting shoes) and more confidence. I gassed badly on chins and only got 2 rounds straight through.
My eating is back on track but I'm a bit sleep-deprived from being back at a busy station last night. Maybe got four hours at the hall and another one back at home. Here's hopin' Calgary lets me rest tonight.
Cheat night tonight, hello ice cream!
As Rx'd:
8 Rounds plus 5 HSP's.
Felt like a pull-up exercise with some inconveniences thrown in to keep the heart rate up. Biceps are shot. Best part was that it only took 20 minutes.

I can't wait until I get pass this beginning stage and can blow up the Regular WOD's!
10 rds plus 5 hspu and 2 pistols. hspu went great and 5 straight through everytime. Pistols need work so I had my heels elevated slightly and dropped my butt to dynamax ball which increased the speed of those. The chins killed me today and were by far the slowest component. Tore a blister but luckily in the 10th round.
pre: long variety filled warm up and some heavy back squats for doubles and singles approx 90%max
42yom / 146
12rnds +2HSPU
Slightly less than two weeks ago when I did 12rnds + 5HSPU and 5Pistols but in the same ball park. I was really trying to get 13 rnds this time but I was really fatiqued on the pullups. HSPU and Pistols unbroken, pull-ups were a mess. Going to enjoy this rest day.
5 rounds. Weight assist on pullups (6) and sets of 10. Did pistols while gripping Smith machine. HSPU's in Smith Machine as well.

Still a day behind so I did Murph, Cindy style, with the 20# vest in 59:31. That's only 80 seconds off my PR, which I can live with considering how wrecked I feel from Linda yesterday.
Finished 5 cycles in 20 min
Had to break chin ups into smaller sets though
Why are there so many more chin ups? It is the only limiting factor for me in the workout. Would it make sense in this case to do more squats and push ups?

15 rounds....sucking air like a fish
That was the hardest cycle in recent memory. 10 rounds, which I believe is a PR. Pullups were the weak link.
Tariq
7 rounds plus 5 HSPUs. All HSPUs negatives, head-to-floor. Pistols: right leg honest, left leg needed a little assist. Why??
Hey guys how about trying this, instead of regular pistols, you try pistols on the bosu(half-ball), platform side up. It takes slightly longer but holy hell.
Oh and 7 rounds...just because if I puke at my schools gym they are definitely going to take away my gym pass. I though for sure that "Linda" was going to get me sent out the door in a hurry.

Wonderful 3 day cycle coach--Keep 'em coming.
Doing cf for over three months now and I still consistently get sore (and am unbelieveably sore today.) On all of my previous attempts at a new lifting/fitness regimen after three months I'd be plateauing and starting to get bored by now. Aftr those workouts I'd be tired but never sore.
Now I get sore consistantly...and loving it. thanks CF!

Pull-ups turned into jumping pull ups. Today was the first time I was able to do HSPU without the use of the Smith Machine or squat rack. I couldn't believe the difference. It took more time and effort but I know it was worth it. A little nervous since the last time I tried to do HSPU without anything, I did a flip into the door and about knock myself out. Hurt like hell but I had my wife laughing at me.
8+hand stand pushups and 10 left leg squats

hspu's on wall but starting to get good at balancing my self

Oh yea, I'm a cop, my wife is a nurse and we both thought the pic was very funny. Lets hope it was done in humor and in a controlled environment. Bottom line, no harm no foul.
6 rounds + 5 HSPUs
2nd time doing Mary. Used power tower for pistol assistance.
6 rounds, 5 hspu, 10 pistols, 2 pullups as Rx'd
Really had absolutely nothing left in the tank today. Still, pistols got markedly better in the 4th round as my back loosened up. So happy to rest tomorrow.
sub'd 95lb push press for hspu's. 9 rounds full rounds and made it through the presses. Pullups sucked. I'm still in agony from Linda and Murph.
6 rounds...I think. Lost count.
Could not stomach Mary today - could barely stomach walking today as my lower back is still shot from Linda. Took my fair share of advil today. I guess I must have poor form on my DL's. Will deffinitely attack Mary with a vengance tomorrow.

Just under 8 rounds. Had to use the wall for HSPU, & door frame for pistols. Sucking air to the point off seeing spots. Once again whats wrong with that guy and his crazy workout. Folks @ the gym think I'm strange. Asked a big guy if he wanted to do a hard workout. Showed him it on paper, pass thats not normal working out for me. Another goal of mine is to stop moaning so LOUD during my CF. Once again God Bless LT M.

Nice comment. What does that say about you? - a person who comes in here and insults an entire community of individuals who are more tightly knit and devoted to fitness than 99% of the world's population. Do you know anything about Crossfit or what goes on here? Come on? Your ignorance is showing.

1 day behind this week. Did Murph today
Normally would not post 1 day late but too excited about my time not to. Goal was 37-38 minutes.
1rst Murph... 6/29/07...48.06
2nd Murph...8/16/07...41.23
today...33.58
mastering the kipping PU, which finally came to me a few weeks ago saved ALOT of time.
45 degrees and pouring rain in CO tonight. Somehow made Murph seem more appropriate. It felt good to suffer knowing what I was going through was nowhere near what these soldiers do.
190 - "You people are idiots! For real, what does puking have to do with fitness and a baby taped to a wall with duke tape?"
I think you mean duct tape!
completed five rounds of:
5HSPUs
10 single leg squats, each leg, each round.
15 chins broken into 3x5 after doing 15 in the 1st round.
still not quite sure if this was the right method in terms of the squats! chins let me down.
Thanks for the workout looking forward to next week.

i subbed unanchored SUs for PUs, b/c my elbow is still hurting. the SUs took roughly the same time that PUs normally do, so...

reduced pullups to maintain intensity, as they where the obvious limiting factor, probably because the pull ups are the only part I could attempt unscaled. I did manage a smooth, unbroken set of 15 for the first set though, something I haven't been able to do for about a year.

Doing "Murph" was an honor...and I'm not meaning to complain in the least since I thoroughly enjoyed the last three WOD's, but Coach, you gotta know, you really are a powerful man (maybe with a slightly sadistic mind, just maybe)! So many of us so eagerly completing the very evil combo of the last three WOD...
Wow, I loved it!

No juice today, just none. Couldn't string together more than 5 pullups ever, and those are usually a strength. Murph really took it out of me yesterday!
"Mary" or something resembling her. Modified and done at home.
Pistols were pitiful.
5 rounds + 1/3
40/M/175
Did 9 rounds + 5 HSPU, but that was BEFORE I saw the pistol-demo video. Lordie...proper form would have shaved off a couple rounds for sure. Did a follow-up set of HSPU to fail (12) to punish myself for the error!

First 4 rounds less than 1.5 minutes each. After round 6 had to partition pull-ups 10+5 and last few were 7-8 + 2-4 + remainder.
Did pistols holding lally column for balance. Good and deep and burned after round 4 or so.

Humiliation. 7 rounds of real crap. i'd be ashamed if anyone saw how weak i was today. lame HSPUs, pistols with column for more than just moral support, and the most broken pullup sets I've ever done.
Was so gassed from Murph, that yesterday I assigned myself a WOD consisting of a bubble bath and watching war movies. Apparently a day of babying myself wasn't enough. I want my Mommy.

The single-leg squats slowed me down. It was my first time attempting them. Thankfully I read through the tutorial on the Beast Skills page. Turns out, I have the strength, flexibilty and balance to do them with either leg. The limiting factor was a lack of focus. When I really concentrated on keeping my foot flat and my core tight to my thigh they weren't so bad. That being said I would do three or four, lose concentration and fail on the fifth. Still, I soldiered through and counted only reps that went through the full range of motion without any assitance. (either for balance or where my raised foot touched the ground)
hungover
5 rounds and 4 HSPU in 18 mins ... for some reason my body just quit....prolly the booze
scaled:

during the second half of the second bball game this morning, i felt somethin pop in the lateral plantar area of my right foot. afterwards putting any weight on that heel wuz really painful. tried running on my toes and that wuz painful also so, no breakfast today. but i couldn't pass up todayz WOD, so with determination i met up with Jennie n Shelly (our counter and timer as she wuz resting for her half marathon) at the park and practiced supporting the pistol on the right side so that the pain wuz less than excruciating.
