Awesome vid...was actually working on my technique to get a muscle-up in the gym today. Can't hit it yet, but I was working a negative muscle-up to get the range of motion started. That helps out a lot. Love Cindy... it's what I challenge anyone in the gym to do when they question my workouts.

Thank you for the early post. My WODS are getting better everyday. Been doing the crossfit thing for 5 months and love it.

Comment #6 - Posted by: Chris at November 8, 2007 6:47 PM

Cindy, years ago, was the first WOD I ever did in my parent's garage. Why do I feel like it'll also be the last one I ever do?

Hey you guys aren't going to believe this, well maybe you will. I was pressed for time and decided to do Cindy today (Thursday). As I was finishing up I was thinking that Cindy should be showing up soon.

26 + 5 pullups, 10 pushups and 5 squats (PR)

Comment #8 - Posted by: Rick Cantu at November 8, 2007 6:49 PM

When I discovered I can do pistols I said I would do "Mary" when it came up. Here it is.. uh oh

Never tried handstand push-ups,
is there a good sub or should i just go for it?

Comment #12 - Posted by: Keith at November 8, 2007 7:00 PM

Awesome video. I need Rob Miller to help me. I'm not having much luck with the Muscle-up.
I hope we get Part II tomorrow.

Comment #13 - Posted by: AllisonNYC_22/5'2/115 at November 8, 2007 7:01 PM

I was thinkin about this workout all day (Cindy, that is), here she is.

This too was my first crossfit workout probably a year or so ago...

Comment #16 - Posted by: Stefan G at November 8, 2007 7:12 PM

Looking forward to this tomorrow. It will be the first time as rx'd. Now that I have a somewhat decent kip down, I won't need to use a band.

Any crossfitters at the AF base north of Boston? I'm gonna be down there Friday night, might have a chance to workout Saturday morning. . .

Comment #25 - Posted by: hub at November 8, 2007 7:36 PM

Rob has such a demure "Stewart Smiley" teaching style. Never heard him speak, but his attitude is so consistent with these uber confident monsters who would thrash most people in the gym or any other physical arena.

Rob, you big gentle giant, you.

Comment #26 - Posted by: wich at November 8, 2007 7:36 PM

Pull-ups will be the rate-limiting step for me here. Any thoughts on whether to do them:

1. As broken sets, limiting the number of pushups/squats I get to as well as limiting the Metabolic conditioning experience.

or

2. Switch to assisted pullups or (gasp!) the lat pulldown machine?

Comment #27 - Posted by: jfett at November 8, 2007 7:38 PM

I did Cindy with rings for the first time but there was no drastic change. However, I did pull-ups on them and did push-ups on the floor. I'm sure if I did push-ups instead, I'd really see my numbers fall. Anyway...

M/24/140
12 rounds, 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 8 squats

This is my favorite workout!

Comment #28 - Posted by: Kris at November 8, 2007 7:40 PM

If anyone wants to trade, I'll give you thirty muscle-ups for flexible hamstrings.

Rob Miller is a great teacher!

Comment #30 - Posted by: Aaronwilson at November 8, 2007 7:49 PM

"its the deepest dip you've ever done and the biggest pull up you've ever pulled"...
great video

Comment #31 - Posted by: DWNTWN at November 8, 2007 7:52 PM

Should we do the one which is harder to complete each exercise, or the one which will leave us more drained? I can't decide.. but I think I'm going with Cindy so I feel beat up at the end. Thanks!

Comment #32 - Posted by: Gavin at November 8, 2007 7:57 PM

Comment #35 - Posted by: David G. at November 8, 2007 8:02 PM

Funny, I did a 1/2 Cindy today as a warmup, and was a little disappointed with my score. Guess I get to make it up tomorrow.

Comment #36 - Posted by: Robzilla at November 8, 2007 8:09 PM

I got turned on to CrossFit last week by one of my gym buddies.I already got 2 of my clients loving it and put one of my friends through WOD of the day with me yesterday and today,they're all gettin hook on it,keep it coming.

Comment #37 - Posted by: KeithFine at November 8, 2007 8:14 PM

One thing he could've 'improved' on for the MU description is taking the dip down so that the hands go directly underneath the armpits. That's where you want your hands to be right after the transition. Requires a fair amount of shoulder flexibility if you can't do it so you can see what some people need to work on besides strength.

Comment #38 - Posted by: steve at November 8, 2007 8:19 PM

Umm.. Robzilla wasn't that after you deadlifted?? Cut yourself some slack.. You gave your all. You rock.

Comment #39 - Posted by: AllisonNYC_22/5'2/115 at November 8, 2007 8:26 PM

Thanks Alli, cause I tend to forget to take it easy on myself. I'll get plenty of rest tonight and then go at it tomorrow.

Comment #40 - Posted by: Robzilla at November 8, 2007 8:36 PM

Did cindy today on a whim.... 20 rnds and 5 pull-ups. thats a first for me. CrossFit rocks!

Comment #44 - Posted by: MrNiceguy at November 8, 2007 9:03 PM

Looking forward to Mary tomorrow. Cindy was my first CrossFit WOD as well. Oh, the memories...

Comment #45 - Posted by: FFChad_M/36/220 at November 8, 2007 9:13 PM

Is there a part II or III to this video? My friends and I have been trying to teach ourselves how to do a MU and it aint going so well. We can do pull-ups fine and ring dips fine, but the transition from pull-up to dip is killing us. Any help would be appreciated.

Comment #46 - Posted by: csrowe722 at November 8, 2007 9:15 PM

28/f/107

deadlifts:

175x3

oh god no, not cindy. 1/2 cindy about killed me at the cert in september.

Comment #47 - Posted by: nadia shatila at November 8, 2007 9:29 PM

New to Crossfit, need a suggestion. I can do 5 pull-ups but not sure I could do it for as many rounds as expected in 20 minutes do you suggest either:

1) assisted pull-ups

2) Jumping pull-ups with a slow negative?

Thanks

Comment #48 - Posted by: Gman at November 8, 2007 9:30 PM

#13 Allison and others concerned with Muscle-Ups.

Not that I am the best at them either, but something I found helpful when first practicing them is to completely forget about doing them in the WOD's for the next little while. Do the normal subs for them and then use the "REST DAYS" to practice movements geared towards improving the MU's.

Since my problem used to be the transition as well, I would devote a little time to that on rest days or warm-ups; it wouldn't be hard enough that I was killing myself on rest days, but enough to get that edge. The main movement that I would do was to hang the rings approx at armpit height. Then I would hang straight-arm from them and bend my knees accordingly. I would then go through very high reps of a simulated MU focusing on the transition area and using my feet to work my body through it. Do enough reps and you eventually do feel a burn. Think of it as a MU version of the assisted Pull-up machine.

Also, since the rings require you to use all the stabilizers muscles, I personally think that anyone already reasonably fit has the ability to do a MU already, it just might have more to do with the "new and unfamiliar" movement. So, try do work some rings push-ups into your routine as well.

There is a good sight listed below that gives plenty of different versions of ring push-ups which will begin to strengthen and "familiarize" your muscles to workouts with rings, not to mention help improve your Push-ups at the same time. Hope that this helps somehow.

Comment #50 - Posted by: Rory at November 8, 2007 10:29 PM

Rob Miller has, by far, the best demeanor with clients I have seen, judging from that video. He was so natural. It is almost like he was born to be a trainer.

Comment #51 - Posted by: LucienNicholson at November 8, 2007 10:44 PM

CFWU x2

After a 25 round cindy last time a taught it was time for a Mary this time.

So did Mary as rex'd but did the pistols assisted for the balance.

rounds: 10!

HSPU went easy with a big ROM
Pistols went also very well only balance with my right leg is a issue
PU were the hardest but I'm pleased with my first Mary.

Comment #52 - Posted by: onefinesuri at November 8, 2007 10:47 PM

#48 Hey neighbor. I am right next door to you. Good Job out here. Keep it safe, Semper Fidelis

I got 21 this morning. Might try Mary later tonight just for fun. Hopefully Coach will reward me and take it easy on us tomorrow.

Comment #53 - Posted by: 3/7 Chaos at November 8, 2007 10:52 PM

Have you noticed how many people say that Cindy was their first WOD, and than on other hand many people use it to challenge people who question their Crossfit workouts? Maybe there is a link? Maybe Cindy is one of the Crossfit mass conversion tools? :)

Comment #54 - Posted by: andrey at November 8, 2007 11:49 PM

Cindy must come up about once every 3-4 weeks which is great.It is a real benchmark workout.
I remember doing 14 rounds about 2 years ago but I am now at the 20 rounds which I feel very pleased about.

Comment #55 - Posted by: guy at November 9, 2007 12:10 AM

Jumping MUs are what finally got me over the hump. They really teach you how to get through the transition quickly. I set the rings at the highest point at which I could just barely jump through the transition, and raised the rings a couple inches every few days or so. A week of this and I was a walking, talking member of the MU club. Also, I think keeping the rings as close to each other, and your body, as possible is very important. Of course, all of this is moot if you don't have a solid false grip, so start there. Hint: it should really hurt at first. Hope this helps.

Cindy was my first too! Can't wait to compare results! Also going to practice standing on head since I still get dizzy real fast.

Man, am I pleased with myself today! Two days ago, I managed kipping for the very first time. Today, I finished my first WOD that included pullups as rx'd!! Cindy, 10 rounds. And even better, I did the pullups unbroken the first eight rounds :-) Yes, me very happy today!

21 rounds, plus 5 pullups. New PR.

Comment #62 - Posted by: Brent Dodge at November 9, 2007 3:17 AM

"Cindy" should be the Army PT test... much better assessment of cardio fitness than a stupid 2 mile run. Every time i've been deployed it's been consecutive sprints as opposed to a nice jog.

I'm sure we could come up with something, maybe CFT followed by Cindy? That'd bring some fear back to the APFT, hahaha.

Comment #63 - Posted by: Nick T at November 9, 2007 3:25 AM

Since we are talking muscle-ups, I did this tonight, thus proving that cops aren't always eating donuts:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=v7Lxl_dlKm0

A huge kip, but I couldn't get it at all a year ago so I am pretty stoked. Next time I chalk up real good and go for five. So cool to work in the same city as my gym.

Comment #64 - Posted by: freddy c. at November 9, 2007 3:34 AM

Great video. Really makes me want to start saving up to attend a cert. Thanks coach for sharing these little gems of knowledge.

Nick T. One way I train police recruits is by running a modified Cindy (Mindy) based off the Michigan Law Enforcement test. The first time through Tourettes syndrome tends to take over the class. By the second time we do it they see a great improvement in their physical ability and are sold on the Kool-Aid.

Comment #65 - Posted by: Tim L at November 9, 2007 3:40 AM

GREAT VIDEO

Awesome job as always, Rob. We love your style!

Comment #66 - Posted by: Pat & Thomi, CrossFit Virginia Beach at November 9, 2007 3:44 AM

The MU had eluded me so far also.
I think I am still letting the rings get away from body like he was saying in the vid.
Maybe thats why I get the bruises on my arms.
Not sure I have the false grip either.

Comment #67 - Posted by: firedave at November 9, 2007 3:47 AM

Anyone know the reason why my posts keep disappearing? The one from today is still here, but the one from yesterday is gone.... I dont think I am including anything that could be considered 'spam'. I was looking for my last Cindy earlier, and couldn't figure out why it wasnt there... weird...

Did a 5-minute Cindy as part of the Crossfit Boston warmup yesterday. Although she is one of my favorites (and also the one I challenge people with), I think I may give Mary a go. I've never tried the lass before and I think it's time my fear of her ceased.

Get some.

Mary:

7 rounds + 5 HSPU + 4 Pistols

Feet supported on neck high bar for the HSPU. Assisted pistols (held on to squat rack).

I couldn't even do 1 unassisted pistol (fell on my ass). Probably a flexibilty issue. And poor form. And weak legs.. Any advice on how to improve on those?

Comment #73 - Posted by: jon at November 9, 2007 4:19 AM

Thank goodness for that video. I was just saying yesterday that I am so so close to getting a muscle up, I just need someone to tweak my technique and I'll have it. Hopefully this does it.

YESTERDAY:

600 SITUPS

This was a great workout. It was alittle chilly (50 degrees, which is chilly for down here but wifey, steven and I are all from up north so no big deal) and the sun was just setting! I'll be posting the video clips on myspace this afternoon.

It was great! Let me know if you give it, or have given it, a go and how it was!

Have a great day everyone! Wifey has surgery today so I won't be on til later this evening!

My name is Carol and my husband was Hammy that posted many times on here. Greg passed away on Monday evening. What they originally thought was a small heart attack, turned into a viral infection that attacked his heart muscle. He was trying to convince a couple of the nurses and the doctor on Monday to look at the Crossfit website and how awesome you guys were. I have included the information for his services. We had seven children, all of us do crossfit. He coached the Barracuda swim team here, a nationally ranked team and they all did some sort of Crossfit for their dryland workouts. HE TOTALLY BELIEVED IN YOU! He was in the best shape of his life and knew it was because of Crossfit. Please relay to Coach how much he was admired by Greg and how much he spread the word about your work. We miss him so much. His last Workout was Tuesday of last week and he was so proud of how he did.

Thank you so much for all you work and just know how many lives you touch even if they do not POST all the time.

Carol Hamilton

As most of you have heard by now, Greg Hamilton passed away on Monday evening. He leaves behind a loving wife, 7 children and a multitude of friends and family. Greg and Carol loved their friends, family and life together.

Hey everyone, I am rather new to crossfit but am blessed to workout at a gym where crossfit is accepted. A bunch of guys from the gym including myself are planning to start crossfit jan 1. Until then I work crossfit into my current training split. I have to say, that crossfit exposes so many weaknesses and its fun to push myself to the limits.

I have a question: Has anyone worked crossfit while training for a marathon/half marathon? I have never run a half marathon but am planning to run the Shamrock in Va Beach on March 18, 08. Any advice is appreciated!

I tried a variation of Cindy but instead of squats I did 10 push-ups. Its a smoker.

Comment #108 - Posted by: Josh at November 9, 2007 5:56 AM

"a muscle-up is the deepest dip you've ever done and the biggest pull-up you've performed." Nice I'm going to use that next time I'm trying to explain a muscle-up.
I read the other day that they have drooped the muscle-up as a skill grade in gymnastics. It used to be an A level skill but they thought it was too easy so they have dropped it completely and it no longer has a rating... haha to easy...hahhaha.

Looking forward to the workout.

Attempted the Amundsen 100 pullups in 3 minutes last night. I only got 80. I then did the deadlift workout (my grip was fried).
315x3 335x3 355x3 375x3 400x3

My form is absolutely horrific on my deadlifts. I'm thankful to have the strength to get these numbers. I believe if I actually took the time to stretch out my hamstrings and get good form, I can reach 500 - 600 ranges. I cannot squat low like most people and end up using all lower back to pull.

#103 va_beach Matt

Hey Matt. I am currently training 4 different clients for the Shamrock Festival, living in VB myself, and train all my clients CF.
One of the results that CF yeilds is an increased aerobic activity and cardiovascularity via interval anaerobic training. In my opinion based on experience of my own and those of others I have trained, there couldn't be a better way to train for the Shamrock than through training CF. CF will add lean mass, burn fat, increase your speed, endurance, self confidence and self esteem and align you with a community around the world that is improving themselves in the same manner everyday.
Unless you are at one of the two CF affiliates here in VB, which mind you both Jeannie at Jeannie's Beach Crossfit (she used to work for me) and Thomi and Pat at Crossfit Virginia Beach are absolutely fantastic and both affiliates are worth every penny and then some to pull from their experience and knowledge, but unless you are at one of those, i have a feeling I know what gym you are at, and it is a good place to be as well.

Good luck in the Shamrock, and I hope that I helped!

Yesterday we attended a memorial at JFK Chapel, FBNC, in the morning for MAJ Jeffrey R. Calero. He was in the 1/20th SFG(A) and was killed on October 29, 2007 in Afghanistan, when he stepped on an IED.

Jeffrey Calero was a fellow CrossFitter. In one of his eulogies, his friend speaking said that he will miss 'silently suffering through a CrossFit WOD together'.
It was a good memorial with no notes missed by the bagpiper, no 'popcorn' with the gun volley, and Taps was clear.

The memorials do not get any easier. I have been to 8 this year alone and that is not all of the SF guys that have been killed. We miss all of our friends, and think about them often. We won't forget the sacrifices made by all.

To all of the deployed soldiers out there, Stay Safe, you all are in our thoughts every day, and Thank you!

First post here. Doing CF for nearly a year, improved everything loads. One question. Me and my girlfriend were wondering, where is all the men's bodyhair in the videos. Is there some CF / kool-aid shearing exercise I've missed? Is it an American male waxing aesthetic thing? I'm quite follically challenged myself, but i'd look like a gorilla next to your video guys.

Comment #117 - Posted by: english lee at November 9, 2007 6:34 AM

After watching the video I got excited and decided to practice MU. Still can't get one. The transition is killing me.

So after failing, I went ahead and did Cindy.

22 Rounds (24 Rounds PR)

Wasn't tired at all because I paced myself. Will definitely up the rate next time.

First day in weeks I've been able to do any pullups.
I made it through 10 rounds, but didn't want to overdo it and end up back where I was.
So, 10 rounds of Cindy and some oly work.
Squats were burning after those deadlifts.

Comment #125 - Posted by: bingo at November 9, 2007 6:55 AM

JB 6'5" 215 M
MD 6'1" 152 F

This is great! We are still down in Orlando and did Cindy yesterday. JB took 21 rounds (24 is personal best, but pullups were probably not full ROM like they are now). MD rocked out 16 rounds (pushups were elbows-level-with-shoulders, but not chest to the floor...we counted them anyway). She also used the lat machine since she cant do a full pullup and I was on the bars anyway.

It was a solid workout. Newbie JS "drank the Kool-aid" and might be hooked on CrossFit now. She rocked out on her third workout with lat machine pulls, "girl" pushups and squats. She charged it though and her form actually got better as she went.

Last night MD and I also worked on handstands and talked form (with some much appreciated help looking at the videos online). It was like a sweaty homework session.

Regretfully, were both leaving today...so CrossFit CTTA is officially in the books.

GET SOME GO AGAIN

This is the way I tape mine, and it works really good for me. You might want to practice a few time before your next pullup session....

Anyone having wrist/hand problems? My left hand, It hurts to close it. The pain is on the "meaty" part of my palm at the base of my thumb.

Still going to do the WOD, might have to do the pushups on my knuckles is all...

Comment #129 - Posted by: Eric O at November 9, 2007 7:06 AM

I've done Mary before, but this was the first time I've been able to do legit hand-stand pushups the whole way through.

Mary was pretty funny because we used a couple Air Force pallets, a piece of crap pullup bar made of rebar, and a water treatment truck for the handstand pushups. People look at us like we are crazy. Gotta love CrossFit.

Scores for Mary today:

Jason: 9 + 5 Handstand Pushups
Ed: 7 + 5 Handstand Pushups
Andy: 7
Chris: 5 + 5 HSPU + 10 OLS + 7 Pullups

We had one taker for Cindy:

Nick: 14

The best thing about CrossFit is no matter what kind of shape you think you are in, you always find something you are weak at to break you off.

Comment #132 - Posted by: paulw at November 9, 2007 7:25 AM

My $.02... I think that Cindy strikes a cord with a lot of new folks getting into Crossfit because it might be the most physcially and mentally 'accessible' girl. I'm betting that most new folks won't know about muscleups, cleans, thrusters, etc... plus it probably 'sounds' the easier of the girls.

I know when I first started CF, I slightly pooped myself reading Angie. Looking at Cindy was something realizable and something that I could at least feel good about accomplishing (though I only got 4 way back then, I still went through all twenty minutes). I can imagine some folks might be a bit discouraged trying to do an Angie or a Karen right off the bat. *shrug*

Schneegans: 15
Max: 16
Kendall: 21

I ripped off 17 and some change, but my pullups definitely need some work.

How you guys feeling after the 24-hour run?

Been out for about 2 months...decided that Fran would welcome me back with open arms... as Rx'd I put up my best time.. 5:36. I then collapsed and legs started to shake. I somehow found enough energy to pull myself to the bathroom to get reacquainted with pukie. Man did I missed this.

Looking forward to doing Cindy again. This was also my first CF workout.

I just returned from the World Kettlebell Sport competition held in Miami. I did Crossfit and Coach Imes proud, earning the World Class Master of Sport title with 187 jerks and 178 snatches in the 50k weight class.

I stopped doing the Crossfit WODs about a month out from the comp and now I'm taking a short break from training to just relax. I need it!

Comment #137 - Posted by: Kelly Moore at November 9, 2007 7:39 AM

We pussed out on the 24 hour run. We were supposed to run it, but ended up having a couple of things come up that broke up our team.

31/F/158/68"

i am going to write this and then go check out all the comments. first, i will tell you all that i finally figured out my chest/back pain. i had it checked out yesterday and and sure enough, i have a rotated rib. i makes dips, bench press, heavy cleans, distance rows hurt like a mother. this has been going on for 2 years or so. i have to modify a lot for the time being, but refuse to stop my CF workouts. i had it adjusted and between that and the DLs yesterday, i feel like i was beaten last night. but onto the WOD...

w/u bike 5', trap rehab (3x10 I's, Y's and T's)

14 rounds

did not attack this workout and had to "cheat" on my pushups (go to 90 degree elbow bend) and have extra pullup help, due to injury. i was expecting 15 rounds with all the extra modifications, but i'll take 14. cindy was my first CF workout back in February, 10 rounds with lots of help then too. i'll take the improvement.

Another morning workout, feeling great, and plan to sleep like a baby on my flight later this afternoon.

WU
500 meter row - 1:26.0 (PR! Again with photos!)
CFWU only sit-ups and dips (and usual stretching a la Greg's WU)

22 rounds + 2 pull-ups

I was still a bit winded from the row, only took about 2 mins rest between the row and the CFWU, and another 2 mins rest between CFWU and my first date with "Cindy." She's a tiger! Anyway, I'm confident I can get into the mid-20s next time. The squats were the most painful part, which was a bit of a surprise. Also, Pukie was watching closely, but stayed on the sidelines.

#111 j Rock-
Thanks for the info! I found a half marathon training program from the Shamrock website that looks manageable. I love to workout but I don't really care for the running all that much and the farthest distance I have run to date is like 6.5 miles. I def. love the crossfit workouts as brutal as they can be though.

I actually workout at The Gym Downtown on granby st in downtown norfolk. It's not an official crossfit gym but there are some crossfit ppl there. Not to say that I dont get weird looks when doing some of the workouts...

That being said, I'm glad to get a vote of confidence about crossfit and training for the half! Like your quote and I agree with it fully.

Comment #149 - Posted by: Matt_VaBeach at November 9, 2007 8:11 AM

Im excited for this workout out Cindy was one of the first crossfit workouts I ever did. I got 10 rounds.

If you are in the 20-25 rounds for cindy, would it be reasonable to add a weight vest at this point, or should the round total be higher before adding the extra weight.

That's 1.6 rounds less than my PR, but that PR is with jumping pull-ups. The PUs were decidedly less jumping today, with me just pushing with my toes a little.

Pull-ups are the number one thing slowing me down in all the WODs. I hope they start improving soon. Any suggestions on the best strategies to improve them?

Rob is an awesome instructor. I spent two days in his shadow and was impressed with his relentless attention to detail. He is not nice. He's just passionately dedicated to the principles of CrossFit and proper technique. He'll pick apart your form and help you reconstruct it correctly. Working with Rob, you'll get tired, and sometimes frustrated and angry, but you'll walk away enlightened and thankful.

I realized recently that I wasn't locking out my elbows at the bottom of my pull-ups, so I decided to fix that and I started with Mary. This was also my first time doing all the HSPU's in Mary nose to floor, as well as my first time doing the one-legged squats without a hand on the wall for balance. So, although I only got 6 rounds, I feel pretty good about today's WOD!

#124 PatrickD --

Check out _The Anti-inflammation Zone_ by Dr Barry Sears.

I had what sounds like a very similar pain in my left wrist. Holding a bar in the rack position was a screamer. HSPUs and cleans were absolute killers. I was icing it every night and taking 2400mg vitamin M (motrin) per day with no improvement. What did help me was:
1.cutting egg yolks completely out of my diet (I was already on the Zone)
2.taking fish oil
3.resting that area (e.g. doing pushups on my knuckles, no handstands, no cleans/front squats).

After 3 months of trying everything else I could think of, my wrist was fully funtional after 3 days; back at 100% after 1 wk.

Good luck. I hope this helps.

Started the zone diet this week. So far hasn't been too difficult. Using the eye method most of the time and measuring when I can. Seems ok, it looks like I will try Cindy again next week to see if I do better.

Todays Cindy 14 sets.

Could have pushed it a couple of more sets if I had waited until the afternoon to do this.

#92 Carol-
Thank you for taking time out of your grief to share. I missed your post earlier, so I apologize for not offering my condolences until now.
I am terribly sorry for your loss.
I liked to look for Hammy's posts and read about your family CFing together and I enjoyed his humor.
You and your children are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks OPT for the coaching.
I need to work on less rest in push ups and all sets of squats straight thru with better breathing to get to 25 rds.

Carol #92, I am sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

As for the muscleup video, I along with many other people on the board are anxiously awaiting part 2. Hopefully we get #2 tomorrow or soon. I just recently began on my journey to complete a muscleup. Frustrated at first by the feeling that I am not even close to doing one. I did find some helpful training tips on the beastskills site. The biggest help so far has been the recommendation on how to do "assisted" muscleups, with your feet on a platform (bench, jump box or in my case a cooler). I also read on a message board a post stressing the importance of shoulder flexibility. That is a glaring weakness for me so in addition to the muscleup work I have put more focus on shoulder flexibility as well.

Thanks man, that looks like the ticket. I've been trying all sorts of things from regular callous maintenance to taping, but just like the blog says I have trouble keeping the tape from rolling. I'll give it a shot the next time I do pull-ups, definately looks like the way to go. My hands thank you.

No problem glad I could help, I know I have the same issues, It's tearing the old callouses that really hurt, and as far as maintenance goes it really does help to keep those little puppies trimmed and filed, my significant other makes fun of me because while she is doing her nails, I'm doing my hands.. I hang (literally ha) with some free climbers and they all use alcohol to dry and toughen there hands after a callous has been torn, I've tried it but couldn't really tell the difference, but your welcome too. Oh check this blog out too it's David Whitley's hes a bad lvl 3 RKC kettlebeller/ massage therapist so he has to keep his hand soft but tough. He has some good tips on there. http://irontamerblog.blogspot.com/

Comment #227 - Posted by: lisaq at November 9, 2007 11:10 AM

AllisonNYC - It is all about pushing yourself beyond what you "think" you are capable of.

Amazingly enough the thing that helped me keep going was not thinking about Cindy at all. It was more like just counting the round number in my head with each breath. By forcing myself to only think of the round number and making sure I was continuing to breath, I was in a complete Zen state, which I'm very accustomed to since I practice Zazen daily. Focused and concentrated effort is something I strive for in every WOD, so the rest of the world pretty much drops out for me between the 3,2,1..go! and the beep of the watch ending the WOD.

This state of mind is often said to be "compartmentalizing", something people in high stress or mentally taxing jobs deal with every day. The MIL/LEO individual cannot be worrying or distracted with what is going on at home during the course of executing their mission, so they set it aside and focus on the task at hand. I apply the same principle I used in my years as a pilot to my workouts. The only thing that matters is lifting the weight, performing the exercise. The feeling of "tired" does not enter my mind during the workout, it only hits after it is done and I'm laying on the floor.

did the last round in 45 seconds to finish me off. found a good, fast tempo that didn't waste me and was able to do that sprint at the end, but not totally wipe me out like these used to. pushups still my weak spot.

WOW! A friend of a friend told me about CF yesterday afternoon. I spent the evening checking out the website, and couldn't wait to get up this morning and head to the gym. I attempted to remember the warm-up video that I watched yesterday, followed by a 1m treadmill for warm-up.

Cindy becomes my first ever wod :)
13 rounds.

Simply amazed at both the cv workout, and the fact that I've been pumped all day. I remember looking at my watch thinking I've got to be close, only to see that I had eleven minutes left. I was breathing hard and sweating. Toward the end I kept looking at the clock thinking I could get one more.
Well needless to say I will improve and I don't think I could go back to the typical boring 3x10/chest-tri, after this.
Just wanted to say thanks to MBN for showing me this :D
I'd rather be strong, than look strong...

I am in the middle of CIndy thinking, "No way anyone can do more than 25 rounds of this!" Then I remember seeing Greg A. at the Valencia Cert crushing a mini-Cindy and I quit my whining and try to work harder.

Tim H.- Saw your post about your back yesterday. I hope you are feling a little better today. Just a tip from one 40+ to another. I woke up today with no back soreness what so ever (and no motrin in my system either)! I have found a good routine for me: full body warm-up and 10 minutes or more of pre-stretch. I take a good half an hour or more to work up to my opening weight. I film all my sets and check my form before I go heavier. That has probably been the biggest difference. Sometimes we think we are nailing it and then we get humbled when we see the video. (Get a vid camera, it pays for itself in the long run) If I can't fix it at the same weight, or I know I can't fix it, I call it a day at that weight. Also, I spend a good 15 minutes stretching afterwards. Hope this helps you next time!

Considering I've just come from the Santa Cruz cert where I learned I probably wasn't getting fully extended in my pull-ups, complete lockout in my push-ups, and not low enough in my squats. I'm ok with an honest 20 rounds.

10 rounds + 3 pull-ups.

3 of the push-ups in the first round were real ones; 1 in the second; 1 in the third. Thereafter, they were all against a bar racked in the second-from-bottom hooks of the Smith machine.

Mary, as rx'd:

9 rounds (with 1 or 2 seconds to spare).

Pull-ups (surprise, surprise) were the deciding factor here: started off strong (unbroken), then 8/7, then 7/6/3, then 5,5,5 for rest.

HSPU's really coming along, thanks to all the extra practice doing kipping HSPU's has helped (see Rob Miller doing Mary in Flagstaff video: Oct 16 2007 WoD movie (sorry, don't know how to link to that days post)). That has helped me SOOO much on my ROM for the HSPU. Warning: not for beginners (IMO), as there is the very real potential for neck/head/spine injury. The same can be said for HSPU in general, but I felt that I should warn those trying to improve, without the prerequisite foundation. Having said that, I am using a folded up gym mat for padding in case my arms/shoulders give out, and I can rest on my noodle to give my arms a break.

Normally do Cindy, so tried Mary for a change at FightSkool gym.

6 rounds - used one hand slightly on bar to cheat with one legged squats. Damn they are hard.
Pull up about a foot from wall so not much room to get kipping motion.

The conversation after was probably more distracting, I am very weak in this regard. But I am not looking to improve.

Cindy: One rep short of 23 full rounds, still off of my PB of 24 rounds that I set probably over a year and a half ago.

There's some mental disconnect that occurs with me and Cindy, it's now my worst WOD because I never get better at it. I need to just focus on Cindy whenever she comes up and beat her into submission. My push ups fail me in the early rounds but I need to make up that time on the squats aka. move faster. If I could get through the first 10 rounds with unbroken push ups I'd be golden. Oh Cindy, how I loath thee.

Great video, Rob. Roger was commenting to me just how what a great coach he thinks you are. I'm of the same opinion. We did Mary on Monday after the gymnastics workout. Here's what we got:

Ugh: 7R
Andres: 7R, 3 HSPu (On parrallets, all the way down, self assissted spot with feet. Had to substitute 30 assisted squats instead of pistols because my legs and knees were thrashed.)
Roger: 9.67R (Free standing hspu's on parrallets.)

Cheers!
P.S., I love the CrossFit workout comments that go something like.. "I did X rounds of Cindy at 7,000,000Ft altitude and was about to barf from round X/4 on, my head was about to explode. I had a wonderful time, it was great! I love CrossFit" You guys are so funny.

No Cindy today. I did the 65# x 30 WOD from Santa Cruz posted yesterday followed by the video WOD db swing/pullup double tabata. On the press,push press, push jerk: 1:44, 1:03, and 1:10(?) w/ 5 minutes rest. Push press most comfortable; watch malfunction on the push jerks, there were a little slower than the push press, but not too much. As for the db swing (45# db)and pullups double tabata: total 76 each. Thanks Coach! BW:170 Y/A:59

finally surpassed the 20 round mark.
last time - 18 full plus 5 chins/10 push ups

chins better, transistion better, squats slightly slower but better in terms of straight though.
push ups the trouble spot for the last 10 minutes this time.

32 yo, 228#

20 rounds, NOT as Rx'ed

did 15 squats for 1st two rounds, 5 squats the next two rounds, then dropped the squats altogether. Feeling a nasty pain in both knees...not the kind that you want to just push through, but the kind that makes me want to schedule an appointment. So I guess it was kind of like a baby Cindy or something.

This was my first Cindy. (at least thats what I tell my wife)

Male 37 Y.O. 225lbs

11 full rounds + 5 pull ups and 10 push ups. Couldn't get the last set of squats in time. I ended at 19:55

For me the squats were the were the hardest part. My gym is on the second floor. I thought my legs were going to give out going down the stairs to go home.

Comment #329 - Posted by: Sam at November 9, 2007 2:42 PM

i should also mention that i bowled a PR of 236 today. i am by no means a regular bowler (maybe 3 times a year) and i haven't been since i began crossfit about 4 months ago. i've always thrown a straight ball, fairly hard, but today the pins were absolutely exploding upon impact. i cannot help but think the extra power can be traced directly to an increase in hip strength - the motion really is something akin to a KB swing or kipping PU.

yet another fascinating side-effect of CF...

Had 12 rounds in at 10 minutes and tried to keep a 1 round per minute pace for the next 10. Started to slip at 15-16 minutes, dogged it for a few rounds and had to pick it up last round to squeeze in the last one. Soccer at lunch left me with a tweeked hip ext but the goal was worth it.

Timely vid. I'm just starting my muscle-up quest & have been recently shamed by difficulty of ring dips

I'd like to visit Santa Cruz someday, but my current fear is to show up & hear 'today we're doing muscle-ups and HSPU's'.

Although most of us have never, or will most likely never meet, I always feel as though we've lost a friend every time I hear that someone from the crossfit community has passed away. I pray that you find comfort and peace within your memories of Greg and the little parts of his being that he left within each one of your kids.

The first few sets of pistols were too slow and not smooth, then found a rhythm in round 5. First time to do Mary - last time I chose Cindy.

Long time listener, first time caller... I really like the program. A friend of mine turned me on to Crossfit a little over a year ago. I have made great strides in my fitness and I am very grateful for the site and its information.

M/37/225 lbs

I did Cindy and tied my personal best at 14, and I did it at 8500 above sea level. I didnt really notice yesterdays dead lifts until I started today's workout.

The first time I did Cindy I did maybe 6 or 7 rounds. I spent most of my time staring at a pull up bar, praying to God for the strength for just one more. I would race thru the push ups and squats, just find myself back staring up at a pull up bar. However, now that my pull ups have improved, I find that the push ups and even the squats are more taxing, making the work out even more difficult - if thats possible.

I made it through 15 times. Pull ups were the weakest and I could have done another few sets of squats. She kicked my but and I liked it. :))

Carol,
I'm so sorry for your family's loss. I remember seeing his name on the posts. You and yours will be in my thoughts and prayers.

M/36/190
Cindy - 19 rounds + 5 pu (PR)
Some personal observations: although this was a pr for me, I was still somewhat disappointed due to the fact that I just learned to do continuous kips about a week ago, which I couldn't do the last time Cindy came up. I found it interesting that since the pull ups are now unbroken, my chest/tris and glutes/quads don't get as much rest, so they, especially push ups, become my limiting factor. I thought the kips would push me into 22 round territory (my goal this time), but didn't consider how much the broken pullups were allowing me to zoom through the other two exercises. Amazing how Crossfit lifts you up, then knocks you right back down (lol).
Also, Angry G commented above about the mental disconnect when working out. I'm not great at it, but I have found that, at least on squats during Cindy, if I close my eyes, I magically move faster and lower. I now do that on purpose and although I suffer during the transition to pull ups, it never fails me.

random thoughts...

Finished with 10 Jumping Pull-ups and 10 slow Push-ups concentrating on negatives.
Not sure what to make of my effort. Is this average? Or above or below?? I felt like physically I could have done more but I just didnt have the lungs. What an eye opener.

Was aiming for 22 to be up one from last time but w/ the wife watching & 15 month old daughter "helping", it made it hard. I also didn't have my Lt. firedave to keep the pace up. I guess we feed off eachother's intensity when Cindy comes around.

We'll see how he does eh?

really wanted to do mary but after the deadlifts yesterday i had very little range of motion in my back for pistols so i stretched and warmed up a lot and did cindy:

21 + 3 pull ups (two pull ups short of the pb)

the whole thing felt like a struggle through out but i just plodded along thinking i was going slow but had 10 rounds at 6:45 and 13 just short of the half way mark. feel like i have a 25 in me on a better day. very low energy today. next time.

Comment #417 - Posted by: Aaron Shaffer - Cleveland CrossFit at November 9, 2007 5:30 PM

Tried "Mary" for the first time since I started Crossfit. 5 rds + HSPUs + 7 Pistols.

I hadn't really done pistols before and they wiped the floor with me. Used a PVC pipe for assistance, and admittedly there were still some depth/form issues. But it's a start, and I will incorporate them into my warmups from now on until I get better at them.

Good news post-workout. I finally found a use for the old Smith machine. The top crossbar actually worked fairly well for hanging my brand new rings for the first time. PS: Ring work is HARD.

The push-ups kill me in these workouts. Anyone else have that experience? Suggestions for improvement?

Cindy as RX'd: 16 rounds (7 short of my PR)

In defense of my horrible showing: I did 150 pushups and muscle up practica after yesterdays WOD. I was not sore today but knew if i did Cindy that my muscles would fatigue fast. However of the two I had done Mary most recently so I want ahead with Cindy. I had to force myself to go to the gym today and from the time i showed up i wanted to leave. The first ten rounds felt like the last ten and towards the end i was fighting myself to finish out. My mind and my heart were just not their. That is not the kind of person i am. If this WOD had been a battle then today i would have died. I am ashamed of my performance and will not let this happen again.

we all have bad days. even if you weren't sore (like i sure was), if you really push yourself on deadlifts they take a lot out of you. i bet at a time before crossfit you would have skipped today like i would have. but we have to post and so we have to push on through even when we know it will suck. take some pride in that you did the wod and kick her ass the next time. time for a beer.

Cindy
19 rounds flat. 5 pullups+5 pushups less than last time. I'll make the excuse that earlier today I did that workout from the Nov. 7 video, 2min Defense, in 12:28 (including that 2:00 minute rest) and that workout really beat me up. And I haven't eaten since breakfast. There're my whining moans for the day.

Age 51/BW 250#
#92 Carol- Thank you for taking time out of your grief to share. Fair winds and following sails to HAMMY. Hang tough, Semper Fi. Dedicated WOD to HAMMY (did "MARY" and "CINDY"). "MARY", subbed single arm presses w/55# "big Bar" for HSPU, most pullups jumped (got to agree with Kegger, garvity sucks) = 4 rounds, finished off round 5 in 23:04. 5 minutes rest and then "CINDY" got 10 rounds with 6 seconds to share.
Good to hear from Kelly Moore, always look forward to her post.
Happy Veterans Day to all. May I propose a "Virtual Toast" (drink of your choice) to all Veterans @ the 11th hour (PST)/of the 11th day/of the 11th month. Stan K.

Spamcatcher isn't working too well. Poor Tori Sue had FIVE repetitions of her comment, and mine apparently got deleted because I used an asterisk.
I started and stopped Cindy 3 times due to various minor injuries, but eventually achieved a PR:

21 rds.

I feel like I could have done atleast 15, I feel silly, but at the same time I improved from the last time which I only had 8.

Comment #501 - Posted by: Bonakdar at November 10, 2007 12:37 AM

This is by far my least favorite workout so for the sake of sanity I started doing both. Cindy forwards and Mary backwards. I always lose track of # of rounds.

3 sets saxon sidebends 10lbs

Chest cold caught-up with me. I was way ahead of pace with 13 rounds in 10 min. But the hacking cough took over. Pretty disappointed, but you have to be realistic when you are sick.

PR is 24+, and I had it in me. Next time we meet Ms. Cindy....

She was also my first crossfit workout and definately the one that started my addiction.
I can't wait to meet her again today... after 4 days off nursing a slight back strain, it should be interesting!

Comment #523 - Posted by: CK at November 10, 2007 6:22 AM

I have real issues with "cindy", I can do fran in 8;30, yet when it comes to cindy, at the ten minute point, i die. My coach says its all in my head, but for all I can try, I go straight down. My PB is 18, and at 14 min 38 sec, coach stopped the clock and sent me packing, stating that my form had gone south. Now at 46 years old and at 218 lbs, I no that there is no justification for my poor showing. I just cant get over the hump. So today, sat, I will go back to the gym, and do 20 rounds of cindy, and see how long it takes with the best form. I wish my self good luck.

Comment #524 - Posted by: docetz at November 10, 2007 6:34 AM

14 rounds. I had to wait about 1:15 mid-workout for some guy to stop stretching on the pullup bar though. So maybe i would have done 14.5

Push-ups were definitely 'honest'

Comment #558 - Posted by: MaxG at November 10, 2007 12:30 PM

Cindy: 20 rds +5 pull +3 push

Stuck in a bit of a rut also - between 20 and 22 for last 6mo. Realized today that I was a bit dehydrated - had not had one water since I woke up this am. Need to keep that in check.

On the up side, I had a physical for insurance the other day - first time I'd weighed in for about a year (gained 8 pds). When they checked my heart rate they had to run for extra time to get a decent reading - they asked if I was a runner because they said "you only get heart rates that low on runners and the dead".
I have only run in the last year when prescribed by the WOD's. So much for crossfit not focusing on "cardio."

Comment #559 - Posted by: bylam_M/34/168/6'0" at November 10, 2007 12:58 PM

Done on 11/10.
Cindy, as rx'd. 20 rds + 5/10/10. Miserable and 3 rds off of PR. A lesson in how much sleep can impact your WoD times - very little the night before.

Did Mary today. I think this is my first time.

Decided to work on my weaknesses today, which includes HSPUs and one-legged squats. And weaknesses they were -- my pathetic result:

4 rounds plus 3 HSPUs. Ouch!

Did the HSPUs against the wall, no piking this time. Got my nose almost to the ground, but getting back up was really difficult. I basically had to do one at a time.

Comment #565 - Posted by: Matt Townsend at November 10, 2007 1:39 PM

I didn't have time to work out yesterday so I decided to punish myself today by trying something different: Chelsea. I did 30 rounds of Chelsea in the prescribed 30 minutes. This is not that much of an accomplishment given my Cindy PR is 24. However, I definitely now can say that I prefer Cindy to Chelsea. It is a lot more fun and a lot less of a slog.

HSPU ranged from 100% ROM to 50% ROM but this was the first time ever i didnt have to resort to 100% negatives. One legged squats (pistols) were done alternating legs using a pole for support. pullups were done as Rx'd changing up the grip as i usually do.

Comment #595 - Posted by: hdgarcia at November 10, 2007 8:51 PM

I did this a day late in place of the SDHP/DU WOD on the 10th, since I'm suspecting that my SDHPs are the culprit behind a possible meniscus tear.

Cindy, on the other hand, felt great. Last time I managed 13 rounds, flat.

This time I managed 12 rounds + 10 pushups. I had about 15 seconds to spare to get the squats in, but I was so winded that I spent the time recovering from the pushups.

Think I could have at least tied my 13, but extra time was spent walking from pull-up area to a space where I could do the pushups and squats... probably took 30-40 seconds total off of my 20 minutes.

Wish I was seeing more improvement in Cindy, but I think it will come in time. First Cindy was 9 rounds, so there has been SOME improvement, at least.

As always, I'm envious of the people putting in anything over 15... some day I'll get there.

I couldn't take not doing Crossfit for another week so I did Mary before work:

14 rounds + 5 HSPUs and 10 pistols. I believe this is a PR. No breaks on anything, but the pistols were slow and provided the needed breather.

I completed 20 rounds in 16:30, then my son needed "help" finishing up going to the bathroom. I stopped the clock, ran up stairs, did the "paperwork", ran down and restarted the clock, finishing 24 rounds total. I do believe I would have had 24 rounds even I did not have "paperwork" to do.

I couldn't find my last post for Cindy (I think I might have done it a day or two late and posted on the other day but I think I got like 16 or 17 rounds last time.

19 rounds of Cindy. Great workout, I loved it!!!
I did a 3x5 of pistols (with as good of balance as I could) and handstand pushups to build up for Mary.

When doing one legged squats, how do you maintain flexibility in the ankle? I get unstable just prior to 90 degrees. How should I work on getting it done without falling backward? Can I use a 2x4 block under my heal, is this legit?

Thanks for the help!

Put too much thought into it and attempted to pace myself with 20 second rests - won't do that again b/c only managed to get 15 rounds. Could of done quite a bit more if I wouldn't have done that.
