Thanks for posting so early. I don't expect it but I sure like it when you do.

sounds like fun, something new...

Interesting. Gonna finish night shift get two hours sleep then give it a go. Nothing like some extra stress on the body!

Great workout demo by Eva T!

To make that workout a bit more nasty, I'd sub a beer keg for the sandbag. The water sloshing around back and forth makes bringing it from the ground to the shoulder a definite challenge.

When are we going to see this as a WOD?

1.East Coasters love an early post!
2.I want to be Eva T when I grow up.
3.Do Cindy and Mary know about the new girl in town?

Looks like fun was had by all at Mikes Gym this weekend. I am so sorry I had to cancel but my new grandchild took priority! Hope to get out there soon!

Comment #7 - Posted by: sarena at November 11, 2007 7:08 PM

Why isn't there a WOD named after Eva?

Comment #8 - Posted by: theresa at November 11, 2007 7:11 PM

This is definitely going to be tough. I will struggle with the L-Pulls. Is there a substitute? I don't want to loose all of my 20 mins struggling with one exercise.

Comment #9 - Posted by: Mac at November 11, 2007 7:14 PM

this could get ugly -- my abs are going to love it!

Did 9 on "Mary" a month ago, so going for at least double digits here if I can keep form on the L's!

Comment #10 - Posted by: Nick T at November 11, 2007 7:14 PM

jason: sounds like fun? youre crazy. sounds like pain. now i got all day tomorrow at work to dread this one. at least it'll keep me from eating the icecream at the galley at lunch.

Comment #11 - Posted by: NOTW at November 11, 2007 7:19 PM

I believe every workout should be a learning experience. Eva's lesson this time was never to ask me to put her through a workout again.

Comment #12 - Posted by: Greg Everett at November 11, 2007 7:21 PM

Yes! Ask and you shall receive. Minutes after my roar for the WOD, it comes. :P Thanks, CF.Com

#9 Mac, the usual sub for L-pullups are standard kipping pull ups. I would at least try a few first, and if you can't keep your legs straight out, bend your knees to your chest and try that way. Eventually you'll get strong enough to straighten your legs out. At least...that's what I'm hoping for myself. ;)

Comment #13 - Posted by: Anthony USAF at November 11, 2007 7:22 PM

wow! that's one of the sickest workouts i've ever seen. the video i mean.

Comment #14 - Posted by: ken c at November 11, 2007 7:24 PM

I'm loving that demo. I want to be strong like Eva. Her arms are big.

Does anyone know how long Eva, Annie and Nicole have been Crossfitting? I've looked around to find out about them but can't find anything.

3 days to go!

Comment #15 - Posted by: AllisonNYC_22/5'2/118 at November 11, 2007 7:29 PM

This is awesome!

Mary's evil twin! I love it!

No idea how many rounds are doable (L-pullups will be the stopper, though I've added them to my warmups just like HSPUs) but it will be ''fun'' to find out.

Comment #16 - Posted by: Tim T at November 11, 2007 7:35 PM

So I can hold a hanging L no problem. The problem is I still have to assist my pullups, so should I just do assited pullups? It feels so cheap...haha

Comment #17 - Posted by: sarah.19.tx/5'2"/120 at November 11, 2007 7:36 PM

Phew, those FUNctional workouts from Mike's Gym are the gear, I'd like to see more of those bad boys. TGU+2 snatches, that's nasty. The double flip off from Eva at the halfway point was classic.

Mac, I'd say suck it up and blow through the HSPU and lunges. Just do your best on the L-pull ups, even if your legs aren't perfect you'll reap the benefits long term...

Comment #18 - Posted by: gaucoin at November 11, 2007 7:40 PM

AllisonNYC

Check out the interview with Eva and I6. She talks when she started. It was a few weeks back.

The others...?

Comment #19 - Posted by: climbguy at November 11, 2007 7:40 PM

Eva, your an amazing athlete. Its videos like this that get me psyched! Keep em coming.

Comment #20 - Posted by: Chris from edmonton at November 11, 2007 7:46 PM

mebbe ill just do 10 assist pull ups and add 10 straight leg kick and hold level things to still get the abs and legs in there.

Comment #21 - Posted by: sarah.19.tx/5'2"/120 at November 11, 2007 7:47 PM

To be clear: Eva is a machine.

That being said, did her TGU technique differ from the Jeff Martone vids?

I'm sure either way sucks the same but just curious.

Stan

Comment #22 - Posted by: Stan K at November 11, 2007 7:47 PM

Heavy Crossfit.

I would like to get "most" of the CrossFit benefits while concentrating more on strength and 10#'s of added mass.
I'd follow the basic protocol except:
1. 20 pound weighted vest on all workouts
2. Up Rx'd weight used a small amount where possible
3. Run maximum interval distances of 400m. (no 800's 5k's ect.)
Question:
Do ya"ll think this would be beneficial to added strength and a little mass.
Thanks,
Pro

Comment #23 - Posted by: Prochargedmopar at November 11, 2007 7:58 PM

wicked vid,deff gotta give the rope pull-ups ago..

maybe L-pu with a rope

Comment #24 - Posted by: Keith at November 11, 2007 7:58 PM

A tough workout for sure if eva t. was feeling it after the first exercise.

sarah.19.tx- you can try doing 10 assisted pull-ups and then right into 10 hanging L raises (nice and slow for good ab work).

Comment #25 - Posted by: freddy c. at November 11, 2007 7:59 PM

Stan, Eva's form was different from Martone's, for sure, but I suspect it's because she can handle the weight safely. Martone's technique is spot on and very strict, I'm assuming, for teaching purposes but also for higher loads. Obviously she'd have to be more deliberate when she was lowering herself to the ground if she was using a 24kg kettlebell. (Plus she didn't kick the leg out of her working side when she lowered to the floor but that's okay, too.)

Comment #26 - Posted by: gaucoin at November 11, 2007 8:00 PM

Stan -

Eva used her own TGU and sand bag clean technique. Both covered what I felt were the important points, so I didn't interfere. Keep in mind too that the point of that workout--besides being utterly heinous in all other respects--was to throw at her exercises with which she wasn't familiar. I let her try a couple bag cleans, a couple TGUs, and maybe 5 snatches prior to starting, and that was about the totality of her experience with those exercises.

Comment #27 - Posted by: Greg Everett at November 11, 2007 8:04 PM

#23- You left out a super important factor: nutrition. You're gonna have to make some changes there to keep up with all that added work. Brendan from HQ has been drinking a gallon of milk a day on top of his normal zone diet. He is huge now! (Did he say on that video that he added 28#?) Hopefully, there will be an upcoming Journal article about his diet. (hint,hint) There was a buzz at the NSC cert regarding the Metabolic Diet. I am gonna try that one after Thanksgiving. You can find tons of info about it on the internet. Good luck!

Okay, no more posts until I finish my workout tomorrow.

I have only been doing crossfit for 5 months, reading, watching & learning still. Love all of it. But I have got to say that is the best female workout to date. Call me crazy but in my book that is one women who has it going on.

Comment #32 - Posted by: Chris at November 11, 2007 8:46 PM

EvaT,

Strong work, and beautiful as ever!

Comment #33 - Posted by: RossB at November 11, 2007 8:59 PM

Allison, Eva said she started CF in '96. I wonder about the others as well.

Greg, that was cruel. I got the chance to punish one our trainers last week too. I'll probably regret it at some point, LOL.

What're your thoughts on sandbags vs the standard db/kb/barbell options?

Comment #34 - Posted by: InfidelSix at November 11, 2007 9:03 PM

InfidelSix -

I love sand bags and other odd-objects and unconventional implements, but certainly not as replacements for DBs/KBs/Barbells. Just more tools in the tool box. They offer opportunities and training responses that you can't duplicate with other implements. A 75# sand bag feels like a 150# barbell, and the rope pull-up is a great example of how a seemingly minor alteration can cause serious disruption--Eva was able to hit 5 or so consecutive pull-ups on the rope, when on a bar, she can bang out about 8,000. Basically I just take notes whenever I'm in a bad mood and refer to them when needing to write a workout.

Comment #35 - Posted by: Greg Everett at November 11, 2007 9:12 PM

freddy c.: what video are you refering to regarding a gallon of milk/day, etc.? I must have missed it. Thanks

Comment #36 - Posted by: doodlebug at November 11, 2007 9:52 PM

1 gal milk = 128 oz milk = 128 grams protein.

eva the man-eat-ah. ;-) damn that was a great video, eva is amazing!

i don't know which looks worse, the WOD demo or the actual WOD. i predict a lot of time will be wasted for me on L-pull-ups.

Comment #39 - Posted by: nadia shatila at November 11, 2007 10:28 PM

M/37/193

Workout as Rx'd--6 rounds/5+2...Required spot on HSPUs. I dig the way L pull ups suck! Added a little pain using large diameter pullup bar for some forearm burn. Good call.

Comment #40 - Posted by: T-Heavy at November 11, 2007 10:31 PM

what can i sub for hand stand pushups, i cant do them yet..

Comment #41 - Posted by: nick c at November 11, 2007 10:32 PM

#41 Nick C - how about an overhead press with whatever weight you can handle? Failing that... as inclined a push up as you can do?

Comment #42 - Posted by: Stuart Smith at November 11, 2007 10:42 PM

Been out of the loop for a few days. I got a lot of catching up to do and this looks like a great WOD for me to get back into it.

Comment #43 - Posted by: Kieran at November 11, 2007 10:56 PM

Nice work Eva that looked tough.
Yeah Freddy I too saw the video about Brandan and his 28# gain, that S.O.B. was huge at the Cert. in N.S.C. much bigger than when I saw him in July, that Metabolic Diet must work well, thinking about give it a try

Comment #44 - Posted by: Luca Z. at November 11, 2007 11:03 PM

It looks like I might be consulting brandx for the scaled version of this one. My L pullups aren't that crash hot.

7 rnds. Assisted HSPU's...balance is not my friend.

Pull-ups were on a 3" dia bar...that sucked. Thanks T-Heavy, great idea!

Comment #46 - Posted by: Elvis at November 11, 2007 11:21 PM

"12 rounds" but LOTS OF SUBS so it doesn't really count (no pullup bar, so hanging rows, and you can't really do "L hanging rows"; can't manage more than about 3 HSPUs, so subbed pike pushups). But it still hurt.

Someday I'll do a wod as RX'd!

I did 5 rounds, but I did inclined ring push-ups(about 45degrees) and more like "sitting" pull-ups - knees tucked in. (can only do about 6 at a time). - regular walking lunges

what are the best subs for hand stand push-ups and L-pull-ups? I just started crossfit a few weeks ago.

Comment #60 - Posted by: cory at November 12, 2007 3:45 AM

8 rounds

Used 3 books on the HSPU, then 4 books for the last few rounds. Felt really good on the L pull-ups, though.

Comment #65 - Posted by: Derek at November 12, 2007 4:21 AM

35/M/82kg

Subbed knees-on-bench piked pushups. I've done straight legged piked pushups for HSPUs in the past, but since I just did a large amount of them Friday I wanted to try the bent knees ones. A bit too easy, I'll do the straight legged next time.

Subbed normal lunges for walking lunges, no space.

10 rounds + 5 piked pushups and 6 L-Pullups.

Afterwards did 5x5 DE Bench Presses, 5x5 DE Pendlay Rows (both 50kg, 1 min rest).

Kickboxing training after was full-contact sparring and trading body punches and knees. After L-Pullups, I was in no shape to suck up the punches. Ouch.

27/m/6'2"/191#

Did the HSPU's with my feet on a bar at head height (6')... vertical (just low enough to whack my forehead on the ground, hah), but my balance stinks, so no freestanding (managed two before I fell over after the end of the workout).

My abs are definitely going to be sore after those L-shapes... I hope there is no form of the Rocky IV situps in the next WOD (might be hard to find the requisite Soviet barn, though, this is afghanistan).

11 rounds + 5 HSPU's... totally smoked.

#23 Procharged Mopar
I would highly advise unless you have some expertise in Elite fitness programs like this one, to stick to the basics for a bit... Not saying don't strive to be your best but if you are new to Crossfit and are already trying to increase the weights on the RX'd WOD's you are either in for a rude awakening or might not be doing full ROM if you are not feeling the effects of the prescribed WOD. You can put on mass (true lean mass) doing the RX'd work out, it really comes down to your diet @ that point. There are some serious athletes here who have been crossfitting for 1-2 years (no not me I suck) and get more than enough to continually improve their fitness with the WOD. Whichever route you choose good luck 3-2-1 go.

Eva T WOW!!! great work, you are an inspiration to everyone male or female

Pull ups are usually my strength, but the l pull ups killed me. Crossfit has a way of finding a weakness, and hammering it. More l pullups are in my future.

Comment #75 - Posted by: bhub at November 12, 2007 5:25 AM

Well there was some confusion on the pull ups but I did them off an "Ï" beam so definately worked some grip strength. My RÓM on the HSPU's is still about 80% but I'm getting so much more out of them now that I'm doing them unassisted against the wall.

FOR THOSE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HSPU,

READ THIS!

I have been doing kipping hspu for the past 2 weeks. I was struggling with higher rep hspu as well as touching my nose to the ground. I watched a video on kipping hspu and it has transformed my strength exponentially with hspu.

I did strict hspu today, touched nose to the ground and had zero problem with them at all! NONE! It wasn't as though today was just a better than average day, I was sluggish going into the workout.

I was told that by kipping the hspu, it wil increase strength and form as well as intensity, and in two weeks it so flippin' did!

If you are struggling with hspu at all, try kipping them!

On E-leave in KY. Used rings for L-pulls, used a wall for HSPU. 9 rounds plus 5 HSPU.

Comment #98 - Posted by: Angel at November 12, 2007 7:19 AM

8 rounds + 5 HSPU's

HSPU's against a wall, only partial ROM. Still suck at those. L-pullups were good today. I was able to hold my legs straight out for each round. Usually near the end they end up being I-pullups. And I was sure so I did 15 lunges for each leg for a total of 30 each round. I figured if I wasn't sure then I should do more work than less.

Comment #99 - Posted by: AckFit M/27/195 at November 12, 2007 7:24 AM

Eva, quite simply, is the BEST! and she's SMART too...
today will be far from RX'd. Is that ok? Trainers: How long does it take on average to develop a pull up?

Where was that kipping HSPU video? It sounds useful. Meanwhile, Eva T makes me laugh. And want to be a better man.

Comment #101 - Posted by: WeemsFit at November 12, 2007 7:34 AM

#96 Julie,

It took me 2 months of sweat and torn calluses to get my first pull up. But I know girls who got it quicker and slower, but from what I know its around 2-3 months on average. It also depends on your starting level of fitness. Just keep working at them, making sure if the workout doesn't have pull ups at least put them in your warm up. Best of luck.

Wow! Took crossfit to a new level for myself. This was the first wod in 3 months that I was able to do in my garage (no people, no mirrors, no florescent light...it was intense). I set it up with an old carpet and a pull-up bar. It was the first time I tried real handstand pushups. I couldn't even to one successfully. I did most of them as negatives until I fell on my face. Looks like I have a new goal. Thanks crossfit for the challenge.

I went back through the archives and found it in there, and I don't remember where it was. It was EVA's suggestion to Mark though, oddly enough!

It is SO beneficial.

Tell you what. I have clients til 1:00. At 1:00 I will go outside and have one of the girls video tape it, I'll give a breif explantion, and will post the URL to the video before I leave at 2:00.

Hopefully that will help a few who need it!

first time we did the HSPU's in a WOD with heels against the wall, so happy that we made it through, though limited ROM. I really sucked on the l-pulls, ended up kipping with high knees instead of the proper L. As least did the lunges ok. I will attribute my lethargy to few too beers celebrating my birthday Saturday and not enough sleep. Ånd to celebrate today, I am ordering rings, cause sometimes you just gotta buy your own presents!

Ran the San Antonio 1/2 marathon yesterday Sunday.

Time spent training? 6 months of crossfit WOD's ONLY!

Chip Pace 9:52 (Running 3 minutes, walking 1 minute).

Crossfit has vastly improved my body's ability to do work over an extended period of time. For me, the results of the race was proof beyond doubt of the soundness and tangible benefits of the Crossfit program.

I realize I'm preaching to the choir, but when your last long distance race was in 2002 (Ca. Intl. Marathon- Folsom to Sacramento), I can't help but celebrate and give full credit to where it's due.

9 rounds, 5 HSPUs, 10 pullups

subs: modified ROM HSPU (as much as possible), jumping kipping pullups.

to be honest, i lost count. my goal was for over 9 rounds and i started cheering myself on after the 7th so much that i forgot to count. time sucking factor: confidence in handstands in later rounds. i really had to psych myself out to get it done -- like i said, lots of cheering in my head. someone suggested that i just do the HSPU with as much (or as little in this case, ha ha) ROM as i could do because that's the only way i will gain confidence. i agree -- and J rOCk, i am going to try kipping soon!

Has anyone noticed that the video WODs of recent are similar to the WODs at GymJones (in terms of complexity and variety, not as in copying or originality)? I am loving the more complex workouts -- could this be the birth of a Crossfit Elite page?

I read in the CF FAQ's that CF WOD instructions are very literal. Given that, I take "15 steps, walking lunge" to mean that each step taken is a step. I admit that it is odd since if you take your first step with your right foot then your right side will be doing more lunges total then your left depending on how many series you do in 20 minutes. 15 steps in literal terms seems to easy so I am going to do a total of 30 individual steps.

First off...first post... been doing CF since Aug '05 - so no stranger here.

Question for Eva or Greg:
Any thoughts on Rx'd lb'ages for men for "Eva, Austere, Heavy WOD?"
I am not freakishly strong but have been around Kb's and sandbags and tires for a while. Seemed a bit light and thought it needed to be heavier. Should it Be??? I thought it might have to do with BWT so I scaled to:

100lbs( maybe a bit too heavy) bag clean - 45 lb x-vest+55lb KB+backpack="100lb sandbag"

20 rope pullups first 5 unbroken each set then doubles/singles

55lb TGU's and snatches B-rutal(but could have maybe done a 62#er)

I know this might start an argument / Gym Jones bash, but from what I understand Mark Twight (the founder, owner and trainer at Gym Jones)was introduced to and trained by CrossFit Founders and essentially plagiarized the fitness principles, calling them his own.

If you've read any of Twight's articles, you know he has a pretentious and 'high and mighty' approach to training. CrossFit is for everyone; Twight seems to think only elite, professional athletes should be allowed to enter his gym.

If Mark Twight only wants elite, professional athletes to enter his gym, then he's fully entitled to it; its his gym. His workouts are born from crossfit's theories, but it's not identical. Let him do as he pleases. It's not for us to sit back and criticize him for it.

Comment #153 - Posted by: Van at November 12, 2007 10:25 AM

As RX'd:

Ed (15 steps total): 8 rds + 5 HSPU + 2 LPU

Nick (15 steps total): Around 8. Didn't get his final score.

Chris: Didn't get to play. Was getting enRiched (Nick T, you should know what that means).

Added extra pain:
Jason (15 steps per leg): 9rds

Not bad scores considering we had to wait on the pullup bar a couple of times.

HSPUs are getting easier and i'm touching face to ground everytime now. A couple of times I was in the zone and my feet were completely off the wall freestanding.

L-pullups suck. Pain... lots of free pain. Tomorrow should feel good.

9 Rounds.

The L-pullups were what were slowing me down. During the past 3 weeks I have been recovering from a mountain bike crash that injured my shoulder and it has made my chins noticeably weaker. Other than that my HSPU are coming along. I have been incorporating them in my warm ups and it has helped substantially. Ever since the discussion of HSPU and aneurisms, I can can't even think about HSPU without thinking of the qoute that someone wrote: "Thanks HSPU's now I have an aneurism." It makes me laugh every time.

10 rounds plus 5 hspu. The L-pullups were killer and slowed me down.

For hspu, I hang my toes over the squat bar and get as straight up and down as possible.

I work out at a chain gym because its close to work. I get a lot of strange looks with people wondering what kinda workout I'm on. Those who are interested, we talk and I send them to the site. It's been an awesome program for me - my one year is coming up - 12/16, and I'm in way better shape then I ever could have done with the old 'go for a run and do some curls and bench'.

I've been out of the CrossFit habit the past couple months. I need to get back into it.

But anyway, I know that many of you are either serving in the military now or you have at some point in your life. I wrote this poem for a friend of mine - a Marine who has served two tours in Iraq. But this poem goes out to all of you who are serving or who have honorably served in the military.


A Poem for my Veteran Friend

The Noble Warfighter
A man of courage and kindness
A patriot who loves God, his country, his family, and his friends
A servant prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice
Without a word of complaint
To establish Justice, Liberty, Peace, and Security
The Veteran
The man who has put his life on the line
So I can sleep peacefully at night
The Warrior – God's agent of wrath
Who pushes back the forces of evil
And establishes righteousness
The Peacemaker who always remembers the cross of Christ
With deep gratitude, affection, and love,
Thank you.

Psalm 144:1
"Praise be to the LORD my Rock,
who trains my hands for war,
my fingers for battle."

#125: Crossfit predates Gym Jones. Go back and look at WODs from 2001, 2002, 2003 and see if you don't change your mind. Twight simply markets his brand differently. I don't think the dispute with the Glassmans is necessarily consequential, though I have always disliked Twight's ostentation. The man acts as if he were a Rolando Garibotti or Alex Lowe; he comes across as living proof that the good is the enemy of the great. But that's not to take away from the efficacy of mixed-mode training -- Steve House trained with Twight for years, and upon 'graduating', has become one of the strongest and boldest alpinists around. It's noteworthy that House does not embrace the arrogance or elitism which has been Twight's trademark.

Review the evidence and make up your own mind.

Why is the workout in the vid different than the WOD? I expected to see the WOD in the video. Not that I didn't enjoy it, just a bit confusing.

Question for all y'all KB studs and studettes out there...

When a workout calls for KB snatches, is the default move from the ground or the swinging KB snatch starting from the hang position (like in the Eva vid from today)? Thanks for any help anyone can give.
Cheers

#28 and others interested in diet, Eva, mass, etc:

check out the Performance Menu (Robb Wolf & Greg Everett's venture). They've been poking around in the dark corners of diet, mass, and functional strength since they started, and have only got better.

http://www.performancemenu.com/

Also available for people who want to get strong at the expense of some metabolic conditioning, the CA WOD (same URL). In its infancy, but worth a look, and worth reading its motivation (free download). Make up your own minds, as always.

WU-
Messed around with climbing the unanchored caving ladder 4 times, got my feet 3 rungs up. Very hard to keep it from swinging around and crashing into the post. Will add that into my warmup for a while. Also 20 various dips (jumping, feet up front and back), 20 squats, 10 jumping pullups (not high enough and arm hurt).

WOD subs-
Saturday's rowing, DU WOD.
Subbed same amount of SU for DU
Time- 19:30

N is back after about 6 weeks off, yea! Her motivation was low and homework load heavy, now they both have lessened.
She did Saturday's WOD too with the same subs as me.
Time- 18:55

We're both jump rope challenged, but we're getting better. At least she doesn't come away looking like she was whipped and beaten any more and my speed is improving.

shoulder strength is a weakness of mine and the presses reflect that (low weight and they slowed me down). The L-pullups got kinda sloppy at the end.

In honor of our veterans...

For those who don't frequent the message board, I encourage you to check out the Veteran's Day Workout posted under the "Competitions" link. Member Gant Grimes has some up with an interesting way to salute our troops on this holiday. It's sick actually.

I just discovered this thread today, so I won't be able to take on the whole thing, but I'm going to postpone today's WOD and do as much as my body can handle. I'll let you know how it goes.

And thank you to the men and women who put it all on the line for our great nation... we salute you all - not just today - but everyday.

wod as Rx'd: 8 full sets + 5 hspu's

HSPU's used to be a very serious problem child for me, but a couple of weeks ago I made the pvc paralettes shown in the CF journal & have been practicing hspu's in my living room. I think my previous problem was mostly relating to pain I got in my wrists which was aleviated with the parlette grip. Also, the extreme range of motion that the paralette's allow helped I'm sure. In today's wod, all hspu's were full range of motion with nose to floor on each one, sets unbroken. Felt very good.

All L-pull ups were "as Rx'd", but legs kept becoming more and more bent toward the later rounds. Had to start breaking them up into two sets of 5.

Before I started this post, I looked at the Valhalla Veterans wod posted in the message board. Congratulations to you brave souls who even had the fortitude to attempt that workout. I will put this on my to do list. Moreso however, Thank You! veterans, and Thank You! to those of you currently serving.

Today is day #1 on the Zone for me.

Have to use a dip/pull-up/roman chair set-up for my pull-ups. It is functionally impossible to do LPU's on there. Can't do an unspotted HSPU, so I cranked the smith bar way up and got as close to vertical as possible with a full ROM. My round count was artificially high due to the subs.

Warmed-up with a light CFWU, then worked double-unders for about 10 minutes.

Not ready for HSPU yet. . .a long time before I will be doing those. The hanging knee raises were much easier than I suspected, which is great. Lunges nearly killed me by the end! But I beat my goal in rounds so I'm happy, especially after I just did Mary a few days ago.

I subbed for today's WOD the following:

12-9-6 rep rounds of DB clean-thruster burpees (31 lbs) and weighted pull-ups (31 lbs). Yesterday's demo video, and yes, 31 lbs thanks to poorly made DBs here in the lower AAs.

What is SDHP? Single Dip Handstand Pushup?

I did 7 rounds maybe 8, lost count, but I think it was definitely 7. The L Pullups were definitely the toughest.

Comment #273 - Posted by: Mark at November 12, 2007 3:38 PM

either 11 rounds with 5 HSPUs or 12 rds with 5 HSPU, I lost count a few times..maybe it was 13...I kept choosing the lower # when I was trying to breath/not hurl and keep track of rounds - I cant wait to do this again

I am not sure if it count but I did about 12 rounds. I did HSPU with knees on a bench. I also am not good at pull ups so I did jump pull ups.

9 rounds, went a few seconds over to complete the last round. L-pullups were about half on the smith bar pulling off the ground and the other half were standing lifting legs as the pullup was done. Both ways allowed a break between reps, still tough.

Comment #283 - Posted by: jbean at November 12, 2007 3:59 PM

Valhalla Workout as per the Veteran's Day WO Competition in the boards.

All as Rx'd with the exception of 4 PU/4 Ring dip sub for each MuscleUp

Age 19
Start weight 164.4 lbs
Finish weight 162.2 lbs

JT - 16:02

Jason - 49:00
Murph - 50:40 (ate last before Murph started)
Total Time - 3:16.9 Yeeha! 3 hours 16 minutes!

I have to say they are all PR's as i have never done any of them to completion.

I used 2 watches, one was running from the very beginning and the other i stopped and started each time i started one of the workouts i.e. timed JT and then stopped and then started Josh etc...

I had 3 Powerbar Gel recharge packets and i ate them all as stated.

And yes...this sucked as much as it looks. But i am very glad i did it.

My Total Numbers were :
Pullups - 535
Pushups - 245
HSPUs - 45
Squats - 550
OverHead Squats - 45
Thrusters - 42
Ring Dips - 245
Situps - 150
Running total - 4.5 miles

Comment #284 - Posted by: Trevor Thompson at November 12, 2007 4:03 PM

I am in San Francisco today and worked out at S.F. Crossfit. Main workout was two rounds of 5 minutes each of a combined set of 1 power clean, 3 hang squat cleans and 2 push presses with 40 lb. dumbbells.

Not only was the workout great because of having a friendly and supportive group to work out with, but I was again reminded how much harder one pushes oneself when the workout is with a group as opposed to solo. Very cool facility in the Presidio with a beautiful view of the Golden Gate Bridge at dawn. Thanks Adrian for a great workout.

Comment #296 - Posted by: tiburon at November 12, 2007 4:18 PM

Did a half "Valhalla" with Murph, Michael, and J.T. (all as rx'd, which is a first for both Murph and J.T.)

Murph: 57:05
Michael: 28:15
J.T.: 24:00

Rested roughly 15 minutes in between workouts, approximately 2:15 minutes total time including rest.

I'm not going to pretend like these were groundbreaking performances, but I'm glad I participated. Really could have used a workout partner for this one though!

Thanks for the kipping HSPU video. It pumped me for trying it for the first time instead of doing leg assist versions off the squat rack.


6 rounds + 5 HSPU + 2 Z-pull-ups

Couldn't do L's, had to do Z's with a kip, but after doing Cindy last night, I'm just glad I can do any pull-ups. And yes, pull-ups kicked my butt today.

deadlift @ 135#

holy schnickies! 22 rounds?! that is amazing! i was about to congradulate anyone over 10 on this one. anyway, back to me. L-pull ups slowed me down. and here i was thinking i was good at them. getting better at the hspu so happy about that. may have to start doing them freddy c. style.

23/m/6'6"/240

7 rounds with about 20s to spare.
I thought my pushups were going to be a problem, but somehow my handstand pushup strength must have snuck up on me and gotten huge. Though, I did have to break down my pullups into 3-4 sets almost every round. Next time I will try a 20 second rest between the HSPUs and the L-pullups and see if I can bust them out fast enough to have a net loss in my time after making the change.
I was out of crossfit last week trying to get ready for our annual PFT on the Marine Corps Birthday Ball weekend, but it got cancelled at the last minute :-\. I'm not sure that I'd have beaten my old 284 this time around. Next time, though.

I knew when I looked at this that the LSPUs were going to kill me, and they did.
8 complete rounds with 3 seconds to spare.

Comment #362 - Posted by: Denver Sheepdog at November 12, 2007 6:44 PM

51 yo male, 245#

7 rounds, pike pushups with feet elevated on bed and mostly dead hang pullups- a few L's.

As rx'd

10 rds.

Comment #364 - Posted by: mas at November 12, 2007 6:47 PM

Scaled to: max rounds in fifteen minutes:

3 handstand push-ups, toes hooked over bar racked at 8
6 pull-ups @ 60 pounds assistance (BW 210)
9 steps walking lunge

6 rounds plus the HSPU, pull-ups, and 7 of the lunges. Argh! Next time I'll get eight rounds. The pull-ups of the third and fourth rounds were from the racked bar, since the device was in use.

Then practiced L-sits: 20 s, 15 s, and 15 s with knees tucked.

F/25/138#
Husband- 28/178#

First time with handstand push ups! Did pretty good. I used a bar for a little pull up on the end and my husband was tough and used the wall. My pull ups are getting stronger but still have to jump. I would alternate pull up and hanging leg lift.

Ty did awesome with the L pullups (must be the Marine in him).

Lunges are lunges you know?

Tyson did 8 or 9 rounds (lost count)

I did 6.

We are loving cross fit! Thank you!

CFWU-pass-through stretch, ovhsx10, samson stretch, 4 rds tabata squats sc(19)
WOD 7rds, after first two rds L pull ups turned to knee tuck and half of L pull-ups. Definitely need work on L-sits and knee tucks

What a difference some rest makes! I was very fatigued the day after Cindy, so I decided to take 2 days off. Before this WOD I tried a kipping pullup and got my first one ever!!! Woo!

Brand X scaling: How many rounds in 15 min?
3 HSPU (modified with shins on a bench)
6 L-pullups (modified to jumping pullups with a tuck up at the top... tried not to use momentum from jumping, but that probably happened later on in the workout)
9 walking lunges

8 rounds, plus 3 mod HSPU and 3 mod L-PUs.

ok i'm an idiot. just realized now that you did 22 rounds of cindy not 22 rounds of today's wod. that is still a great number though. nice work.

Comment #373 - Posted by: ken c at November 12, 2007 7:04 PM

Had to force myself to get to the gym today.

15 minute bike 4.3 miles level 6

4 rounds, Z pullups instead of L - Probably should have scaled it more.

Comment #374 - Posted by: Broid at November 12, 2007 7:08 PM

God!

I've done 5 rounds, i already have trouble with the pull ups, now the L pull ups that was hard!

but I did it!

Scaled to 3/6/9

8 rounds.

Did better on HSPUs than ever before. First time trying L pull ups...as with most things CF...much more difficult than anticipated. had to break the last few rounds into sets of 3 to get my 6 and had to go to Zs on some of them.

Comment #376 - Posted by: CraigA at November 12, 2007 7:15 PM

8 rds in 20:07. 10 min ellip wu 18/18. hspu felt strong. got head-to-mat contact on lots.

10 L-Pullups
15 lunges

7 rounds

Comment #379 - Posted by: win at November 12, 2007 7:33 PM

So, I have done CF on and off for a little while now. Time to get serious and start posting times.

Did workout as follows -
5 HSPU (3/4 to full range of motion, I just got a true full ROM, nose to ground a couple of days ago) These were definitely the limiting factor.
10 Kipping Pull-ups
15 walking lunges

4 rounds - Will be better next time! (Isn't that the whole name of the game)

Comment #380 - Posted by: bulletman_M/33/6'1"/218 lbs. at November 12, 2007 7:39 PM

Pre: 500m easy row.

CFWU 3X15 (Ring Dips X10, Ring PU X5)

9 rounds + 5HSPU, 8 L-PU

L-PU better, but still knees parrallel and one foot down (instead of 2 as prior on these). Alternating and broken on the L-PU. HSPU on parrelettes with feet on freezer. One foot support on every other rep. Getting there.

Post easy 500m row.

Comment #381 - Posted by: Joel B. at November 12, 2007 7:42 PM

6 rounds plus 2 handstand push ups (last 5 rounds required a spot on two or more handstand push ups to complete)

M/51/170

I have to admit it. I hate this WOD (exclamation point X 3) and I can't work up much intensity for it. This attitude is probably because I can't do L PUs at all (yet, I hope) and am still sub'ing supported HSPU for reg. ones.

Warmup - 5 min. elliptical machine + 2 rd. mod. CFWU

WOD - 6 rd. total, sub'ed strict PUs for L PUs and HSPU with legs supported on Smith rack

Finished with 6 rd. of ring pushups (10 reps),
3 rd. of dumbbel thrusters (35# X 10 reps)

Comment #383 - Posted by: MP at November 12, 2007 7:43 PM

Tore a callous on pull-up 6 of round 11 with about 4 minutes to go. Never torn a callous before...hurt like the dickens. Opted not to continue with this huge crater in my hand.

feet on a smith bar for assistance, but i floated off it a lot, much to my satisfaction, i can tell i'm getting stronger at the hspu. started nose to ground, became more often forehead later on. knees bent a bit with Ls, but toes still pointed forward. last set, admittedly, a bit sloppier.

-Lunge steps as Rx'd.

That was a smoker. Tomorrow's WOD looks fun, too. Bring on the triceps destruction!

Comment #413 - Posted by: havoc_30/M/6'/172 at November 12, 2007 9:47 PM

That was tough!

5 rounds. Subbed nearly-handstand pushups (feet were hooked over a machine); high-knee pullups for first three rounds, then strict for the last two.

Comment #414 - Posted by: PhirePhighter at November 12, 2007 9:49 PM

Modified:
3, 6, 9. Used 2:30 interval. Did 8 rounds

Handstand push-ups: Did as Rx'd. First four rounds complete. Tried doing kicks on last three rounds but lost balance. Next time try doing kicks from the beginning. Move faster with the kicks. Also, be very careful falling when done the set if I am tired as this time I almost injured back and knees on falls.

L Pull-ups: horrible form throughout. Max was 4 with good form on first set.

walking lunges: no problems. Next time move a bit faster. Need longer path at gym

Comment #415 - Posted by: sacsteve at November 12, 2007 10:00 PM

wow i'm dead.

in 20 minutes:
5 hspu (against the end of the pull up bars for balance)

1st round good

2-6 round sub'd regular pullups

7-12 rounds sub'd 150lb cable.

Yup, my pu's are weak. HS pushups much easier for me :(

Funny all the looks I was getting at the gym...people standing around waiting for their next set on the bench, while I was rushing from HS pu to the pu bar. Snickering and stuff. I couldn't help but push harder, and at the end of my 20 min I was smoked, while they were still standing around bs'ing. lol, crossfit rocks!

Comment #421 - Posted by: Jacob at November 12, 2007 10:43 PM

9 rounds + 3 pull-ups

Pull-ups slowed me way down, but I did manage to do them all with legs straight out. I did HSPU with legs up on a squat rack. I can't seem to get my brain to accept being completely upside-down.

Probably only would have managed 6 or 7 had I been doing real HSPU.

Stupid brain.

I've been sick since the middle of last week; this is the first day I've felt well enough to even attempt a workout. Still feeling weak though, so I did 5 rounds of:
5 Burpees
10 steps, Walking Lunges

That wore me out - pathetic really. Clearly I have a lot of room for improvement!

L-pullups were sloppy and even got to singles by the end. It feels completely different than a kipping or even a strict pullup- which is good, given the hopper philosophy

First CF WOD ever!

Massively scaled, doesn't compare, but trying to get on board (using routines from SimpleFit.org too).

WU: 500m on C2, extensive stretching, sampson, etc

subbed 6 regular pushups for 5 HSPU
subbed 5 assisted pullups on graviton for L-PU
subbed 9 steps on lunges, did 9 per leg each round

about 5 rounds in about 11 min

Lots to work on, lots of improvements ahead! Thanks Coach and the whole CF community, this has been a new awakening for me. Plan to implement Zone diet soon.

Call this workout "Freak Boy"- at least that's what the gym rats were whispering about me.

As rx'd: 9 rounds
L-pulls went to h's on round 8-9.

Most happy about getting unbroken full ROM HSPU's on all rounds. 10 rounds would be a better baseline to have for this one, but oh, well.

Went slow and maintained solid L's, thanks for reminding me Bone. Did them on the Smith machine which was harder then on a regular PU Bar for some reason. At least it felt like it was.

Bone- Ram chose to do a workout from "Flex Magazine" instead of the WOD. Lol...

8 rounds +5HSPU, 5 L-PU
All HSPU were done with feet supported at chin-level, really feel like I'm getting stronger at these. All L-Pulls were knees to chest (can't quite do the pike position yet!)
I was really looking forward to this WOD and I wasn't disappointed, as it totally smoked me.

Started with 5 L-Pull ups, then the rest were kipping. Had a spotter hold my legs for the HSPU's. I can't do them yet, but those felt harder/more real than piking my feet over a smith machine's bar. Ripped callouses on both of my hands.

Big difference between assisted with Smith machine bar on feet and feet against the wall. Still good to be back after being off most of the past 3 weeks.

143lbs/30yoa

Taken from #323 TV David:
"My HSPUs are severly piked PUs, but hey, I do what I can...so far.

8 rounds plus 5 HSPU, as BS'd. L-PUs were the slower-downer. Wasn't getting 3 white lights from the judges on all reps, either."

Its like I was looking at TV David in a mirror doing this WOD as my stats were 8 rounds plus 5 HSPUs, 10 L Pull-ups and 8 lunges. My situation was the same as my L Pull-ups were the slow point with suspect form.

One good point, I'm doing the HSPUs with only one plyo disc under my head, with feet up on the wall.

Comment #527 - Posted by: j-seal at November 14, 2007 11:01 AM

29/F/112/64.5in

So I really had to alter this workout because I can't do anything close to handstand push up and I can't do a pull up. I subbed 10 girl push-ups instead (because 5 regular push-ups is where I max out) and assisted pull-ups with 50 pounds of assistance. After the workout I also did some overhead presses and 100 balance ball sit-ups to work those muscles that I didn't get to work out due to my subs.

At the end of the day this doesn't seem like the same workout but oh well . . .

One day late,
As Rx'd 9rds + 5 HSPU.
HSPU modified feet extended against squat rack bar.

Comment #549 - Posted by: Mike in the Ro at November 16, 2007 7:37 AM

15 or 16 rounds (pretty sure it was 16) + 4 HSPU

Had about 9 rounds at the split.

HSPU were good depth and strong.
L pulls were good L (an accomplishment for me) until around round 11 then combined L and tuck. I seem to not extend my arms as much on L's...not sure but I think they could have been deeper.

Walking lunges, but from for rounds 15 and 16 did split squat jumps...increased pace a little and HR a lot.

Complete as many rounds as you can in twenty minutes of:
5 Shoulder Press, 105#

5 rounds + 7 L pull-ups
two-thirds of time spent on L pull-ups, which are ridiculously hard - usually get about 3 in a row and then 1 at a time for the other 7

8 rounds + 5 HSPU's

L pulls are getting better but started to drag a bit toward the end of the workout which turned into something like a cross between bent legs and L pulls.
