Nice, two of my favorite girls back to back...

I can't wait till tomorrow for this one :)

Comment #4 - Posted by: in8girl at January 11, 2008 7:07 PM

I dont' have rings. Should I do 21-15-9 reg dips or should I increase that?

Comment #5 - Posted by: Joro M/29/6'3/205 at January 11, 2008 7:09 PM

I'm loving the variety. I want to see the scaled version of this because I don't have rings and never did this workout.

Comment #6 - Posted by: Rajib at January 11, 2008 7:11 PM

3 bar dips = 1 ring dip....it sucks, trust me.

Comment #7 - Posted by: Simon 170/m/31 at January 11, 2008 7:12 PM

Yay! I'm glad this is on a Saturday so I can work out first thing in the morning then come home and collapse on the couch for the rest of the day.

Comment #8 - Posted by: Neil in Lakeland, Florida. at January 11, 2008 7:13 PM

This may answer a question down the road...

For Elizabeth, full squat cleans are typically considered "As Rx'ed" even though its not explicitly stated. The squat clean requires a good deal of coordination and precise form. There are two videos of Greg A performing Elizabeth, one with the power clean and the other with the full squat clean. If this is your first time with the WOD, I'd recommend watching both.

"Heavier, Farther, Faster"

Comment #9 - Posted by: TOMinSF / 24 / 6'5" / 2005 at January 11, 2008 7:13 PM

Why do I get the feeling that I know what's coming on Sunday?

Comment #10 - Posted by: Jacob Tsypkin at January 11, 2008 7:20 PM

Ola. Some good advice from Tom at #8 and Simon at #7.

Elizabeth. 135# clean. The default "clean" for CF is the squat clean. Bar starts on the floor. Catch the bar in a full squat. As Rx'd is not a hang clean, nor is it a power clean. This does not mean that you cannot do either or both of these, only that (as Lynne says) if you do it's not "Elizabeth".

135#. Just like "Diane" ystd your first thought must be safety. If, like me, 135# is dangerously close to your 1 rep max, then it's too heavy. If 135# is your 3 or 5 rep max this becomes a strength/muscle endurance WOD--perfectly acceptable unless you want a metcon burner (watch Greg A on either version). So how should you scale? Same as "Diane": eyeball it and estimate, divide your weight by 175, divide your CFT by 875, etc.

Of course, as Jeff and Mikki Martin say so well over at BrandX, if you haven't really done cleans before you shouldn't be using ANY weight at all. Learn the technique; drill the technique with a broomstick or PVC pipe, then s l o w l y increase the weight you are using. BE SAFE.

No rings? 3 bar dips = 1 ring dip. Got rings? Do as many as you can and then start doing jumping ring dips. Can't do a bar dip? Use a gravitron, bands, or do it off a bench.

Just remember to record exactly what you did this time so that you can compare next time this comes up. "Elizabeth" is a benchmark "girl" and you'll see her again.

3-2-1...Go.

Comment #11 - Posted by: bingo at January 11, 2008 7:26 PM

Hey All,
I'm new to Crossfit. Why 21-15-9 as opposed to 15-15-15 or some other permutation?

Comment #12 - Posted by: KC at January 11, 2008 7:27 PM

To all Pentagon Crossfitters:

My WOD buddy, who introduced me to CrossFit, will be leaving for Iraq in the summer. To get him ready, I'd like to see if we can attract a few additional people to our small two-man competition. Plus, it will be nice to know a few others of you once he has gone off to serve (and I'm left still needing the motivation). Send me an email if you're interested and we can arrange a time next week to meet up in the PAC. Usually we go in the mornings between 0930 and 1030.

Friday night WOD at CF HEL: Bear Complex: 21-18-15-12-9-6-3 reps, never release the bar, for time. Rx'ed 45# women, 75# men.
Push ups, DLs, hang power cleans, front squats, push press.
28:28. Good workout! Got you sweating and wore out the muscles.

Worked on kipping pull ups- Friday's video helped a lot! Thinking about my abs and lifting my knees felt way better then all the sudden I realized I was popping my hips to spring up toward the bar! A little more strength and I'll HAVE IT!

#10 Jacob-what do you think is coming up tommorow?

I guess I better be prepared to do a whole lot of dips.

Comment #19 - Posted by: Bryant at January 11, 2008 7:52 PM

#13 KC
The entire workout is timed.

Each set has less reps because fatigue will be setting in and if you don't change exercises more frequently you will be unable to maintain metabolic intensity.

I think most people would agree that the set of 21 is the "easy" one

Comment #20 - Posted by: Willie at January 11, 2008 7:54 PM

Is there something I don't know about Sunday?

Something that rhymes with "bran" maybe?
I hope so....

Comment #21 - Posted by: Simon 170/m/31 at January 11, 2008 8:01 PM

Sweet, I finally get to use my new rings in a WOD! I'm sure I'll get some funny looks, and possibly a reprimand, from the people in the Student Center. My guess for tomorrow? Low reps and heavy.

Comment #22 - Posted by: CR at January 11, 2008 8:10 PM

Joey, what video do you mean? The push jerk video for Saturday? If so, I didn't get the crossfit-informercial-ness.
I was hoping for the second part of the kipping video!

Comment #23 - Posted by: Leslie Ap at January 11, 2008 8:25 PM

Which brings me to this question- push jerk or split jerk? Who likes what? I always split. I really love doing cleans and jerks, and the jerk is the best part, I think.

I am addicted to posting, again

wut a great vid! such an uplifting and positive energy from both Rob and Chris :-)

Leslie - just recently started practicing the split jerk, and i gotta say, i like it! altho, for high rep stuff i think i would choose the push jerk, as the split takes more time to reset the base for multiple repetitions.

what does RX stand for?

Comment #32 - Posted by: Eddie Laubengeyer at January 11, 2008 9:04 PM

I have subsribed to the email notification of the WOD's. I do not receive the WOD until well into the day of the workout. Can these notifications be made the day prior to the WOD schedule?

Comment #33 - Posted by: Troy Fryar at January 11, 2008 9:12 PM

Arrgh. No "Adrian teaches kipping" part 2.

Well I warned you, there is officially pouting going in here!

I hope it comes soon or I'll never find out how to get down off this bar.

Comment #34 - Posted by: metric at January 11, 2008 9:14 PM

Eddie, RX is shorthand for prescribed.

Hey everybody,
This is only my third workout of CrossFit but I'm loving every minute of it. Today I completed 'Diane' as RX'd with a time of 14:30.
I'm just getting off a program called NROL and this is a nice change-up in the gym.

Comment #35 - Posted by: Geoff at January 11, 2008 9:15 PM

Eddie Laubengeyer (#33): RX = 'as written' or 'as perscribed'...
go read the FAQ...twice!

Comment #39 - Posted by: PG at January 11, 2008 10:00 PM

One of my favorites. The past couple WODs have both been outstanding.


On a different note, everyone wish me luck. Im number 3 on a waiting list for the CF Certification here in Okinawa on the 25th-27th. If I dont hear from the gym by thursday, then im out. I HAVE to get the spot.

Comment #40 - Posted by: Greg P at January 11, 2008 10:04 PM

Awwww you guys.. I figured out how to look at the CrossFit archives and spent about an hour checking them out.

I felt like I was looking at old family photos from before I was born.

Look at this one. I almost spit out my red bull. look at Tony aww. he kind of looked like Gellman from Regis and Kelly. :) hahah

http://www.crossfit.com/mt-archive2/000717.html

Just got home from working out with Erik .. so much for a rest day. I've managed to avoid the rower completely since I started CrossFit except one time.

I faced my fear tonight with some kind of tabata rowing:

I rowed for 30 seconds
30 seconds break
then he got on for 30 seconds
30 seconds for me to get back on

we did that 12 times and I wanted to kill him. The only thing that kept me going was watching him row without his shirt. That's my idea of a great friday night. Training in a private gym with a strong man.

I love Elizabeth. I can do the cleans as RXd but still can't do dips. Something is seriously wrong with that. I can clean my BW, do almost 20 pull-ups but can't do a dip?? That doesn't make a bit of sense to me. Oh well, I'll work the negatives.

Comment #41 - Posted by: AllisonNYC_23/5'2/118 at January 11, 2008 10:09 PM

Cool vid. That guy was so cute. Chris was great too ;) He seemed so happy and excited.

If I had one wish it would be for Rob Miller to be my coach.

Comment #43 - Posted by: AllisonNYC_23/5'2/118 at January 11, 2008 10:21 PM

I agree Allison.. ROB is THE COOLEST CAT.

Comment #44 - Posted by: sevan at January 11, 2008 10:24 PM

so as luck would have it I did Christine on the rest day, and she smoked me. So yesterday was supposed to be rest for me but I did Diane on my lunch break and wondered, what's next? Great follow......AWESOME!!! I'm skiing on Sunday. That should be funny!

Comment #45 - Posted by: brian521 at January 11, 2008 10:25 PM

So I did Christine on the rest day.
Then I was going to rest but did Diane on my lunch break and wondered what would follow? Great follow! Except I'm skiing on Sunday which should be fun on my toasted legs!

Comment #46 - Posted by: brian521 at January 11, 2008 10:29 PM

What's happening everyone...pretty new CFer here with a quick question.

Why is it that if you can't do a muscle up, then you do pull ups and bar dips in a 4:1 ratio, but if it's just ring dips you're supposed to do, you do just 3 bar dips for every ring dip RXed?

Thanks...

Comment #47 - Posted by: Rodog at January 11, 2008 10:35 PM

AllisonNYC -
the thing to do to be a better dipper is all kinds of presses, at least that is what seems to work for me. I envy your pullups ;-).

Comment #48 - Posted by: struvey at January 11, 2008 10:55 PM

Late night WOD from yesterday

M/27/165#/5'9"

CFWU x 2 (-dips) +10 x tuck jumps

Diane
21-15-9
225# Deadlift (scaled to 205#)
Hand-stand push-up (kipping, the good kind)
Time - 8:47 PR


BTW, if anyone in the Calgary area or going to be in the Calgary area hasn't stopped by CrossFit Calgary, I recommend you pop in for a class. Brett Marshall and the rest of the crew there are awesome. I was in town for a few days with my little bro (he'll be starting CF now) and was greeted with a warm welcome just dropping in out of the blue. All in all a great time was had.

Comment #49 - Posted by: TripMN at January 11, 2008 11:14 PM

random question:

so generally with most lifting workouts you give your body at least 48 hours to recover... with the posted crossfit workouts it seems that the workouts are coordinated on certain days so that you're not working the same muscle groups everyday but there are still times where my pecs/shoulders/etc. feel pretty trashed but then the WOD calls to work the same muscles the next day...

is this potentially bad? how much recovery time is needed? any other random answers/info would be helpful. Thanks

Comment #50 - Posted by: drak89 at January 11, 2008 11:16 PM

Does anyone else find themselves reading the comments section just for Bingo's commentary? I had a feeling we were going to get back to back "girls". 3,2,1... go!

Comment #51 - Posted by: Ropo at January 11, 2008 11:42 PM

drak89,

A huge benefit of Crossfit is building up your tolerance to lactic acid. To do this, the workouts usually cause your body to release huge amounts of lactic acid (go figure). Lactic acid is a big factor that can cause soreness after a workout.
Therefore, when you start doing Crossfit, for the first time or after a couple of weeks of not doing it, you will be very sore for a while. Eventually, your tolerance will build up and you will not be quite so sore (no promises). Crossfit is not designed for bodybuilders, it is designed for strength builders who often end up with great bodies.
Don't push yourself so hard that you get injured, but there has been studies that indicate working out while your sore increases bloodflow to the damaged muscles and can speed your recovery. But don't take my word for it, do what is best for your body and be safe!

Comment #52 - Posted by: Matt at January 11, 2008 11:43 PM

A general note/request from a fellow Crossfitter:

The main page comments are now up to 600 to 800 or more per day. By post 49(this one) there have already been 5 posts with Diane results. Those should be posted on yesterdays comments.

This serves several purposes:
1. Easier to find when it comes up again, and you click on the last time for your previous results.
2. Keeps the already cluttered comments a little less cluttered.

I have other pet peeves regarding the comments, but this is one of the bigger ones. Carry on.

Comment #53 - Posted by: Andy Shirley at January 11, 2008 11:52 PM

I'm pretty sure there's another thread for a post like #52, and I think it's on another message board altogether.

Unless I'm missing the joke.

Comment #54 - Posted by: kurtboise at January 12, 2008 1:50 AM

Jim Bob,
It was just a polite request, as I have no desire to be a mod on the main page. And it is a sentiment shared by others. Thanks for the productive reply, it means alot coming from a fake name/email address. Yet more clutter to wade through(including my own reply).

Comment #55 - Posted by: Andy Shirley at January 12, 2008 2:20 AM

F/44/5'/114#

8:38 - 85# squat cleans, each rep started from the floor. Ring dips with rings turned out and away each rep.

Comment #56 - Posted by: Kelly Moore at January 12, 2008 2:50 AM

Long time since posting, had BAD case of tennis elbow. Wanted to share what works to get over TE: Had two cortison shots, didnt work. Ice, heat, meds, still no joy. Started massage on my own. Two times a day, at 1st it hurt, but then loosened it up. Cont. w/ stretches (wrist up & dwn). After two solid wks of massage & stretch, I'm now back !! Lifting no pain, have yet to do pull ups (will be the real test) so anyone who gets TE, give this a try (my Doc wanted me to have surgery !)

Comment #57 - Posted by: Scotty at January 12, 2008 4:06 AM

So much hostility today. anyway...

27/M/6'1/211.5#

my girl 'Liz'

Ok, so I started the clean with 155 for the first round and then had to drop back to 135 in the second round. Regarding the dips: no rings, so they were tripled, which was a fun challenge.

Time 23 min 15 sec

On another note,

Every time I finish a workout I always wish I had done more or pushed it a bit harder. These short but intense workouts cause a bit of anxiety, so I rush to get through them. But when I'm done, I never feel like I've done enough. I guess there really isn’t a question here, but I never get that same feeling which comes from a 2 hour weight session (not that I’ll ever go back to that stuff)… it’s just different I guess.

Next time I'll make sure to really get low on every clean. On a plus note however I did feel a bit nauseated after.

Did it 2 days ago, it kicked my ass !

No rings tho, so I had to sub with regular dips + a 12kg db.

last time doing elizabeth using hang power cleans and ring dips I had 10:57 min
today, doing the same 7:13 min.
Next time I will do hang squat cleans.
Be kind to each other and have fun, Johan

btw JRock, just found your video's on MYSpace.com. Nice. Enjoy your comments.

OK, so not as Rxd...hang cleans instead. 6::21

With only a few days left in the sandbox we are varying our WOD's to include the not so common workouts. Two days away from "The Bear", take two. Failed 5th round 5th set two weeks ago (Freddy C. you're an animal to finish with 150!). So long story short, trying to save my legs for the upcoming take two.

Great timing! I got my Elite Rings this week. Substituted 95lb for cleans. Ring dips were on the machine with 112 lb of assistance. Time: 13:29.

Comment #67 - Posted by: Martin at January 12, 2008 6:25 AM

AllisonNYC,
It does make sense. I'm sure you've heard of crossfitters doing 30 pull-ups but can't do a muscle-up. The load it's mostly in the triceps. Focus on those triceps and I'm sure you'll see results.

Comment #68 - Posted by: Cesar at January 12, 2008 6:28 AM

F/37/5'6"/140

11:08 - 55# for 1st 8 reps then increased to 65# for remainder; jump ring dips

Note: didn't do full squat cleans--something to focus on more next time.

Hip issues, no clean.

Subbed pullups; scaled.

15-10-5
Pullups
Regular Dips
Time: 06.00

AllisonNYC:

pullups vs. dips difficulty:
1. It's easier to see your muscles on the pullup, but on the dip they are behind you.
2. Pullups are more "intuitive", less complex maybe?
3. Kipping is more often used on pullups, and swinging on dips while your body is on top just makes it harder since you are balancing above the handles.
4. If you do high ROM dips, they get REALLY hard (shoulders below elbows)

WOW!! i got a comment from AllisonNYC!! this is amazing. i was just excited to get coached from Rob the fact that they posted the video is unexpected and fantastic. Rob had me holding that bar for like 40 mins! truly an amazing coach, that guy, great person.

Scotty: I get a little tennis elbow myself. Years back I was told the only way to stretch a tendon is to push on it, so I am a big fan of deep elbow massaging. After a ton of pull ups, KB swings, etc (think filthy fifty), I need some major elbow rubs!

I think so. Not sure. I know I log in my times on there, when I remember, so I can see where I stand with the other ladies. I also keep my workout journal with all my times and stuff in it. But it is nice to have it right here on the computer.
Not sure why it's here on the boards, maybe someone else can answer that. It is a cool program though.

Not quite as rx'd because of time constraints. Did regular dips, not 3 for 1, and ended up doing power cleans for the last five reps on the final set. They were killing me anyway and I was only doing three full cleans before dropping the bar. Had to race off to get my daughter after swimming lessons. Some excuse, that.

14:10. Last time I did Elizabeth, 19:10, but it was as rx'd with 3 for 1 regular dips. Need to get some rings.

Question re: negatives on rings. Every time I do these, I get bruises on my mid-outer forearm. Any ideas of why this might be happening? Is it normal? Suggestions are much appreciated. I've watched the video clips about a million times, and it feels right, but thought I'd ask some experts. :)

Old guy newbie, here. Did modified Elizabeth: 95 lbs (2 25lb disks + 45 bar) and regular dips instead of ring dips. Totally spent much?! Took 28 minutes, for a 57 year old. Sure wish there was a weight coach in Tucson area. I watch the videos closely, and they are very,very helpful. But there's no substitute for an knowledgeable and experienced eye. Loving this CrossFit business!

Comment #115 - Posted by: chris lawson at January 12, 2008 9:27 AM

I think I tore my meniscus. My left knee is snap crackle popping and in limp inducing pain.
I've been crossfitting pretty steady for 4 months and have had unreal results. (A nurse who was giving me a physical the other day asked me if I was an athlete because of my low resting heart rate. It was in the 50s.)
I'm going to the doctor next week to confirm my suspicions. So, anywhoooo. How have those of you suffering an injury dealt with it so that you wouldn't lose all of your hard earned fitness?
Squats are out - Cleans are out etc. I can still kip fine. I can still do barbell swings and all upper body stuff. Should I just do that until recovered? Or is there something creative that I'm not seeing as an option?
Thanks in advance for any advice or recommendations.

Everything felt better than Wednesday. 285 was harder for me...could be because it's getting heavy or could be because I'm practicing in the shoes I have to wear at the meet and that adds about 1/4 inch to the lift. That little bit can make a big difference. Either way, still totally stoked and am sure I will get the 290 next week. :)

My second time doing Elizabeth. Did it at Gold's Gym Ballston, Va., this morning. I'm definitely getting better on my clean technique. I still lean my torso forward at the bottom of the squat. Need to open up the hips and drop straight down. I scaled the weight to 95# and did hang cleans (hamstrings a bit tender from Diane) instead of off the ground. Oh, and did 3 parallel bar dips for every prescribed set of ring dips. Awesome workout. Time: 16:32.

Can't describe how happy I'll be when I can do this with real dips. Thank you for the advice on getting them people!

Eeek. First time with 95 and the squat was killin my legs! :)
Done at CrossFit South Brooklyn after coaching the class through the same WOD. They stayed after to watch and cheer me on. I think I freaked the new girl out. She said "that barbell is almost as big as her!" heheh

I feel like I want to do a better job just to be a great example for them. It's really cool. I want to give to them what my coaches and the girls have given to me.

I felt SO great when the girls I was coaching got the clean. It was awesome to see how excited and proud they were and to know that I helped them! HEAVEN.

Chris #76: hehehe That's awesome. I'm flattered. I'm also jealous that you got coached by Rob. You're a lucky duck. I saw your excitement and it remided me of how excited I was at the certs. I felt EXACTLY the same way about things not seeming real when I was in SC. I had to pinch myself a few times. Keep spreading the CrossFit word in your globogym. There are lots of people whos live you can change there. I'm happy for you. :)

I'll be doing "Liz" later tonight. I have to digest this IHOP brick breakfast unless I see it come back up.

For those of you who don't have rings, here's an answer to your budget:

1. Get an approximate distance of the bar you will be hanging from.
2. Go to Home Depot and have a pair of chain links cut to the distance you just measured
3. Buy some large - the ones used to carry multiple grocery bags - caribeaners and make sure they can go through the links in the chain.
4. Buy some smaller caribeaners to hook into the bottom portion of your chains.

Go to the gym, hook the large caribeaners over a pipe and use the gym's handles for the cable machines as your rings. Viola! You now have a cheap set of rings. If rubbing your arms on a chain is uncomfortable, buy some PVC pipe and cut to length where your arms are rubbing. Slip the chain through and continue on.

13:25 as rx'd which is off my previous best of 13:24 - one second but today felt much slower. My cleans started out good for the first 7 reps and then everything singles for the remainder and there were alot of ugly ones. All full squat cleans but I was terribly losing midline on the way up. Too many dropped reps and had to tighten up the plates a few times which probably cost me a pb. I went to bed last night thinking I'm sure coach has punished the posterior chain before with Diane followed by Elizabeth. If the CF gods are listening/reading I'd love to see "Annie" tomorrow and not D-Diane,E-Elizabeth,F-Fran

I have a small fracture in one of my wrists, but I was able to scale down the weight and do the full squat cleans today. I was wondering though if there's anything I can substitute for the cleans that won't be so harsh on my wrist?

Thanks.

I just love the way Crossfit to exquisitely exploits my weaknesses. Take today, did with full squat cleans for the first time (only been able to do them for a month or so). more than twice as long as my power clean version of this. killer. I was reduced to 3 reps then rest, but I made it. let's do it some more!

Then practiced kipping PU using Adrian's method from yesterday's vid. It's good stuff. My kipping has gotten pretty good in the last 2 months, I just wanted to see if I could get an edge with some other method of teaching.
My big breakthrough came when Anthony Bainbridge from CF Fredericton told me to "push out and back" at the top before coming down. Man! what a difference!..

Comment #205 - Posted by: Harry at January 12, 2008 1:31 PM

20/m/161/6'1

First time doing "Elizabeth". Scaled it down to 115lbs on the squat cleans. And 42-30-18 dips between counter and table in kitchen. This whole workout must of took me an hour.
I realized I have to stop trying to do as rxd until I'm fit enough. Maybe I am fit but compared to what I see people post on here I feel like a guy that never worked out before. From now on I'm going to give it my best and reach for the PR's. Maybe I am improving already, I've been doing this for about 2-3 weeks now but can't compare because I haven't had any workouts repeated. I'm also going to start timing myself even if it doesn't ask for it in the WOD to compare in the future. One thing is for sure I either am giving it a half ass effort or I have superior recovery because unlike others who 'can't walk' I'm usually out the same day n next doing what I have to do. Ok enjoy the mental agony you put on yourselves can't wait for tomorrows wod. P.S- Can some people give motivatations for doing these workouts other than training for a job, looking better, living lonver or something like that. Does any1 do it for the sake of the exercise alone like I do? I am making this a part of a lifestyle any1 else?

Started with a nice 5.5 mile run outside this morning (aimed for 10K but my run route is just short)

The 15-20mph headwind was a real challenge on the way back. TMOE disputes run.com's accuracy so I'll knock of 0.3 miles and settle with about a 7:45 mile.

Then went toe-to-toe with "Elizabeth"
> 7:25
Round 1 cleans were squat cleans. Rounds 2 and 3 I converted to power cleans as my knees are still feeling a bit tighter than I would like. Next time I'll do it fully as RX'd. Blew through the ring dips - I love having my own rings!

Rx'd at 25:01 full squat cleans and ring dips.

Not sure why, but I've felt very fatigued for last couple of days, probably just need some rest.

1st time doing ring dips, or anything on rings. Couldn't stabilize at first, could only do 2-3 reps, seemed to figure it out as I went, got up to 5-6 reps at time by the end.

I knew this would be a tough one after watching Greg and Annie forced to break their sets.

13:56

dips sucked it hard, cleans were easy though. would have been much harder if doing hanging squat cleans...but i feel that 3-4 reg dips per ring is dip is worse than reg ring dips. with rings dips, my breathing is affected more, but with reg dips my arms and shoulders fatigue way before my breathing becomes an issue. oh well, i guess this just incentive to get a set of rings.

First workout at Windy City CrossFit today:

"Dirty Thirty"
For time:
30 box jump
30 pull-ups
30 Kettlebell swings,16kg (12kg)
Walking Lunge, 30 steps
30 medicine ball sit-ups
30 Push press, 65lb (45lb)
300 meter row
30 Wall ball shots, 20lb (10lb)
30 Burpees
30 box jump

Sean and I knocked this one out in 22:16, good for a spot at the top of the board. I'd never done wall ball before, and it kicked my ass! That is not as easy as it may look. After the WOD I got on the rings for the first time to see what a ring dip is like. I did about five of them, which is about right for what I can do on bars. It's so nice to work out with like-minded people instead of getting odd looks, although those can be fun at times. That place is so much better than my globo gym. I'm signing up next week. Get some!

Really feel lazy taking a rest day today, but 4 WODs in 5 days left me not only sore, but with significantly limited ROM. Don't want to get injured, so playing it safe.

"Liz"-17:43. Average HR: 153.

135# cleans: started with a few squat cleans (not good at 'em yet), realized it was gonna take longer than I had time for (gym childcare only allowed me 1 hour today)so switched to power cleans, finished with hang cleans, last set. My grip was shot!

bar dips 42-30-18
time 12:27 new PR! I was definately spent. The last few cleans were definately questionable as to how far down I went in the squat. Either way I'm happy with it. I'm thinking using the Zone Diet maybe kicking in. Been using it for a little over a week now. Is it normal to see or feel results from it that quick? Or am I just being a little to hopeful?

Super tired today. Started the workout @ 105lbs. Did the first 21 cleans and 42 dips then stopped the clock and worked on form for the last two sets of cleans with 65lbs. Form felt better but I was pretty upset that I didn't finish the workout with the right weight. Last time did it in 18 min. Oh well, next time'll be better.

No rings or bars so I subbed two chair dips (with feet out and heels on ground) for each ring dip.

tried to do cleans w/ 135 but could only do a power clean. i'm a bit afraid to squat under that much weight. i think once i get the form and control down w/ 95 i'll move up in weight.

i truly love crossfit.

Comment #277 - Posted by: duane at January 12, 2008 5:20 PM

So I didn't manage to do yesterday's Diane or today's Elizabeth due to scheduling. I let my wife and daughter go to the movies this afternoon during what would have been my time at the gym so I'm home with the other kids.

So anyway, I go into the backyard to play on the rings I've got hanging from the tree and after several failed attempts I got my first muscle-up! I'm so excited. Maybe it's a fair trade off and I'll do some catch up tomorrow.

To see how far I've come, when I first started in May07, I could do 7 pullups in a row and got 8 rounds on my first Cindy. 8 months of sweat and blood later, I'm stronger and fitter than I ever was (even when I trained and ran Ironman) and I've managed something I thought I'd never do thanks to excellent instruction/inspiration by Rob Miller and Eva T.

Coach, thanks for Crossfit!

First time doing this. Loved the work out. All were broken sets. Tried to keep good form and concentrate on technique. Heart beat shot to the sky quite quickly (170-180 bpm after a few cleans). 135 lbs is simply too heavy for this work out for me and even with 115 the sets were only 3-4 reps on average. I also need to get rings. But great work out. Really loved this one. Been doing CrossFit for one month now and I’m hooked for good. Ordered the journal a few days ago. Thank you for CrossFit and a great community.

This was a disappointing day.
95# cleans
63-45-27 dips
29:10

I had never done a clean before so I dropped the weight to try to work on form and muscle memory. Still not good. Because the weight was so low it was easy to just lift up to my shoulders without getting into a squat. So not getting low caused me to aggravate a chronic rotator injury which made the dips really painful. All in all, a sucky day.

Any one in Colo Spgs that can tutor me in the clean?

It sucks because I jumped right into CF on Dec 31 and have been gunho about it (missed 2 days due to child birth. Not me, my wife.) But after today maybe I need to take it slower. Maybe tomorrow will be more encouraging.

First time doing Cleans so I only used 65lbs and worked on getting all the way down, but that still fried my quads and gluts. It will be a while before I can do those with 135lbs.

Cleans 65lbs: 10/5/6 - 4/6/5 - 9 lots of sucking wind but didn't put the bar down.

Bar dips assisted with box, 311 lbs is still alot: 10/5/6 - 10/5 - 8/1

john wopat and Calgary Colin (old guys rule, hey?)

Don't forget my friend mas, he puts up startling pullup numbers ( and I have an idea that he is a darn good runner as well ).

I guess we all do look for each other in the posts. Most all the old guys and gals are awesome one way or the other.

Keep on keeping on

Comment #354 - Posted by: Jeff Weltmer at January 13, 2008 10:55 AM

My first time too for me. Did warm up with bar only and increasing weight until ready. Put 135lb in total before starting the real WOD but it was just to heavy for me. So I dropped down to about 110lb. Had to take quite a few rest. I don't have rings in my gym so it was dips and dips on a bench (triple the amount). My final time was 14:33 something to improve!!

I feel good about this only because I have never done the work out with 135lbs and rings until today :>)

I saw another crossfitter today, yeah! Forgot his name but he had a strong effort on the pullup WOD with 16 set +12 reps. Its good to meet you, sorry I forgot your name :>)

Elizabeth, as rx'ed, 10.39, PR by 1.13 (Sep).

Goal was 10 even, so I'm within striking distance. This one always gets me before hand because I'm ready to cry like a school girl after 10 reps of 135# squat cleans .... thus the jubilant feeling when she's done.

Finally getting comfortable doing a squat clean, vice a power clean with a front squat, ie, pulling just enough to catch the thing in a squat. That's great because I'm not doing what is in effect 2 squats per rep, just 1.5 or so.

Hard to believe the difference a year makes. This time a year ago, I thought of the clean as a silly, painful, pointless, scarey, and downright useless drill in unnecessary complexity. Now, I love "the clean."

Comment #425 - Posted by: mas at January 14, 2008 1:03 PM

working out in a new gym today (away from work for a bit)

Did 2 WODs today - so I scaled this one back and went for time.

Elizabeth - 115# power clean & wide bar dips - 9:04.

Then did tomorrow's Pull-Up ladder WOD. 9 rds.

Shoveled snow when I got home for 20 min, and a volleyball game tonight....That's enough PT for one day.
