Congrats to BJ Penn for winning the title. Xfit gets another champion.

Been waiting for this day. I think I'm going to try and max out on this one, get it up to 360!

Perfect! Love deads. We'll see how Nancy feels in the morning though...

Day 4. Missing another one I've been waiting for.

I almost got a muscle up today! From total dead hang easily got the transition but then couldn't lock it out... again. But I got closer this time. I have to learn how to kip out of it or get stronger.. or both.

My everything is feeling 80% better. I think I'll be ok in a couple of days.

I'm going to Mikes Gym next Monday to learn from the master. I'm freaking out and counting down. I'll be AllieCali in 4 days :)

Nice to meet you today Eric. Awesome work. Hope to see you again soon!

Love deadlifts but I'm still recovering from a hip bruise. OHS are one of my favorites too and I had to skip them yesterday. Looks like I'm gonna have to just take this whole set off and come back at it after the next rest. HSPU's are something that I've decided I really need to master, good work on the vid. It's inspiring. That and double unders are two of things holding me back from writing as rx'd on a few of these workouts.

I envy that kid.

B.J. totally dominated tonight. His CF conditioning shined too.

Can anyone give me a hint on getting a muscle up? I did 29 pull ups today, but can only do jumping muscle ups. I hit the start of the transition and crash every time when trying from a hang.

Regards.

Sorry about the double entry...

It was great to meet you too Allison. Thanks for all the clean help. I know you'll get the muscleup, it's just a brain fart, you're for sure strong enough to do them.

Nancy today as RX'd: 12:22
Very tough.

This morning....
25 Ball Slams
25 Power Cleans (135)
25 Jumping uneven ring pullups
3 rounds
21:50
That was a kick to the groin at CrossfitSBK

Thanks so much to everybody there for showing me a great time and giving me a whoopin. I will be sure to see you all as soon as i can

Eric: CrossFit South Brooklyn is like a kick to the groin?? uh-oh It's fun too!

Wally: Watch the videos with Rob Miller coaching the muscle up.

Wally,
to get a muscleup, keep the rings close to your body and do a strong kip. The most important thing is acceleration and getting those rings close to your body. Same princples that apply to the olympic lift. Start it slow and kip hard, rings close to your body and you'll be at the bottom of your dip.

Allison, it was a blast. And 30 pound ball slams? i was unaware

hi,

can someone please explain: Deadlift 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps, to me before Tuesday?

thanks

A single rep max effort deadlift done seven times Mike.

Mike: Chill and keep an eye out for Bingo.

Wally: Are you using the false grip? It won't happen without it.

Eric: hehehe Don't blame me for that one. It was all David. I'll be your best friend if you can sneek me into the pool!
I'll race you!
I'll take it easy and promise not to beat you by too much

Got up early for this one!

Duncan,

How's the free-standing HandStandPushUp coming along? Are you almost there?

Duncan,
You rock! I am going to show my three boys your video tomorrow. Crossfit Kids are coolest!

Ok, the video finally loaded- I'll be copying this progression, and hopefully be able to tackle some HSPUs myself soon.

Ahhh....deads, I can do these as RX'd! Think I'll try for a PR today....er, tomorrow.

Brand X breeds beasts.

did my own wod today:
3x5 mini bear

2x6 hang cleans
2x6 hang cleans n push press
2x6 db shoulder presses
2x6 high pulls

in essence, a CF type bodybuilding workout
thoughts folks?

Duncan--you are AMAZING!! Great job, buddy.
Dillyocity (Dylan) says "hi".

ugh... thanks for telling the results of the fight that i had taped =/

A huge group walks into Don Jose's in Fullerton in December and takes up the middle of the bar area to eat. One guy is wearing a CF T-shirt.
Turns out it's the Martin family.

A guy walks by Jeff Martin twice to get a pitcher of beer from the bar.

Turns out to be me.

Nice going Brand-X.

Not trying to bash Duncan or anything (I can't get full ROM on HSPU yet) but I noticed his hands were very wide.
Would that make it easier?
Is there an "official" hand position for HSPU?

It says: 'post loads to comments' - looking to see where it says: 'post puppy names to comments'.

I just started crossfit, and am still working my way up to doing the workouts to their fullest. I was just curious as to whether most crossfitters stick entirely to the WOD for their exercise or also precede/end these workouts with other lifts? I could totally see how the WOD alone builds an incredible athlete, but it seems like some of the people in the videos do a little more than the average. Either way, I'm psyched to keep going with it!

Where are the music mash up clips that are used in the videos? Specially from the Opt video the other day...Sure its been posted, sorry ahead of time to keep bringing it up...

GREAT video-I will use thos with my other kids to teach them the hspu! -my son has just started working with Keith W at the black box -he is 7 and has also started gymnastics-got his first hspu (with one abmat) away from the wall this past wed! These kids are asweome. Duncan-congrats-hope u and my son can meet sometime. Looking forward to the black box getting a full up and running crossfit kids program. My son is already addicited to the rings, L sits, squats, cleans, and overhead squats-after two sessions. the coaches and progam are awesome. Thanks to this great community. Though I disocvered it at 37 at least it is here for my 7 year olds and 4 year old! Keep it up guys-tI show my son all the videos posted. He loves it. especially when the black box posts pictures of him as well :)

Freddy, I have been called a lot of things,
but "beast breeder" is a new one.

Skipped Lynne, Rest Day, and Nacy and sub'd with 3 days of great bad a$$ skiing at Mammoth Mountain CA. I attribute my 3 full days of bumps, trees, and steeps to Crossfit. Without it I would be crawling to the bar right now... instead of jogging : )
Also noticed easier adaption (is this right word) to the altitude this time around. Its gotta be the burpees.

CAN'T DO DEAD LIFTS NOT RELEASED BY DR YET FOR THAT SORT OF WOD,BUT WILL DO YESTERDAYS "NANCY SINCE I MISSED DOING IT.

I'm about 3 weeks into the wod's. I see that some people do the 'cfwu' before and sometimes after their workouts. what movements does the 'cfwu' include?

Thanks,

BJ - He's the man. I'd like to call is a dual victory, for crossfit AND jiu-jitsu. =)

That crossfit kid has me beat, I can't handstand push-up to save my life. I'm getting on the 6-week program, just like him. Started today, in fact.

One more thing - I'm very new to this, but so far EVERY question asked on here since I've been doing crossfit 3 weeks or so ago has already been answered on FAQs or the exercise demos.. I challenge you to explore the sight, not just look at the WOD and bail. So much good info on here.

Oops, all questions answered EXCEPT #38. =)

BINGO! Where are you, We need you...

#43 Julie the Cat-
Welcome and check out the FAQ's for the CFWU (official CrossFit Warm Up) located on the top, left hand side of the home page. There is tons of great information in there and it is always being updated. I highly recomend spending an afternoon (or evening or morning) reading everything.

Happy CrossFitting!

Kate

Thanks for the video, I'm looking forward to showing it to my kids.

The Wide Arm Stance-
My $.02 about it is that it is more stable and comfortable.

Kate

Allison, you're more than welcome to come to my pool, just give me a shout and I'll let you in. And when we race, I promise not to beat you too bad. ha

Speaking of swimming, the MLK meet hosted by Asphalt Green is a lot of fun to go to if you're looking for something to do this weekend. We have some realy great athletes, especially our 12 year old olympic trialist Lia Neal who owns the 50 and 100 meter freestyle age group records who is going for the yards records. That's exciting. Anyway, it's a great time and a chance, for some of you people with young kids to get them interested in a great sport.

Peace out home skillits

Hi guys, im not sure if any one has asked this question before.. im really interested to see how many people across the world are doing crossfit.

Is there anywhere i can find out?

I don't know why deadlifts f me up in the head so bad. Once I start getting up in the heavy weight I get all freaked out about jacking up my back, even when I know I am doing it right. It's just a mental thing I'll have to get past if I want to get heavier numbers. It stems from jacking my back up last summer.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Thanks coach!

Mornin'. Sleepy day here chez bingo.

I just mosyed (mosied?) over to the FAQ and got humbled. All of my efforts at stylish explanations for naught. EVERY question I've "pre-answered" in January is answered in the FAQ. Jeez, there are even two links at 4.9 on the 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 format, including a WOD video. Warm-up and then do a series of single reps in an attempt to hit your 1 rep max for deadlift. Record the last 7 single reps.

Every WOD has an implied warm-up. Many people do some version of the CF warm-up, conveniently described in the FAQ. A warm-up of some sort should be done before strength days like today and before running days like a 5K. In some cases it is in the warm-up that the best CF'ers become so; witness OPT Mommy's description of a 45 min. WU for OPT before "Fran".

Some folks do "skill" work pre- or post-WOD. I've noticed that in some of Gee Ohcoin's (gaucoin) posts at OPT-the gym. But most of us, we mere mortals, find that the WOD with a warm-up is just enough to keep us fit for whatever life sends our way.

So, repeat after me: "The FAQ is my friend...I will search the comments before I ask a question...I will subscribe to the CFJ..."

Duncan is adorable! Ah, childhood. If only I weighed 75 pounds and was not afraid to break my neck... =o)

My first WOD...just got turned on to CrossFit on Friday.

This workout is just like the Lynne workout - I need to know precisely how long to rest, what kind of bar to use, what kind of grip is allowed, are shoes permitted, can I drop the deadlift rather than control it on the way down, etc....help me, I can't think on my own.

As Rx'd

280-285-295-305-315-325(f)-325(with straps)

so as you can see i used some straps there at the end just wondering thoughts on that? I know that using them helps to get more weight on th bar, and exercise at a higher weight, but you lose on the grip strength, so what is more benificial, working at a higher weight, or getting it so you can hang on to the bar at the weight your at and going from there? I'm sure there is a journal I'm missing or article somewhere, anything would be appreciated, as always...

#31 Ron Nelson

Do you live in Fullerton or were you just stopping by?? I live in the area and Crossfit at a globo in Yorba Linda.

Reference the HSPU video: I love the progressions shown, and I am going to use it in an upcoming seminar to illustrate the concept of progression. The only criticism I have (and maybe it is more of a question) is this: the lack of control while coming down onto the ground (while commented on in the video) has to be eliminated completely. I have been having recurring upper back "tingling" lately. My chiropractor has been trying to deal with it for about 6 weeks now, and I (initially) blamed it on all the upper body strength that I have gained over the last 6 months (thanks to CF and SS, particularly kipping handstand pushups).

Now, this is where my criticism/question comes into play: I mentioned that I do kipping HSPU's to my chiro, and that I rest on my head occasionally to rest my arm(s). She looked at me like I was the biggest idiot in the world, with a "You do WHAT!?!" look on her face. I sheepishly admitted that the upper shoulder tingling likely coincides with how long I have been doing kipping HSPU's. I was told to cease and desist putting that kind of pressure on my spine, although the "normal" HSPUs and shoulder presses are fine.

Is this a "Well, duh! [with about 50 exclamation marks]" moment, or is resting on one's head (and also the forces associated with having your head on the ground and then executing kipping HSPU's) acceptable. I have never felt any sharp neck pain, only this somewhat recent tingling in my shoulders. I will also mention that I worked up to resting on my head (with feet on wall for balance), first with both hands always on ground, then one, then neither.

I will likely post in the forum as well, but I figured a warning/question would get a lot of exposure here, what with people being averse to looking elsewhere for information (*eye roll*)

DommyB #33,

Sorry Brother I should have been more sensative to your lack of ability to adapt. My Bad.

I guess I was being selfish in asking many of my friends and aquaintences as to help our gym name its mascot.

If it ever were to happen again I would, just announce the name

Duncan Martin,
You are truly amazing!
How old are you?
My daughters are 9 and 7 and they are athletes like you. They are long distance runners, ran the Kid's Death Race in Alberta two summers ago. They love CrossFit too! They are on the CrossFit Edmonton page today. Check them out here.

Question for the group regarding sub for overhead squat. Squatting is no problem for me. Back squat mid 400's front squat 200+. I cannot seem to perform the OH postion with good form, due to age induced flexiblity issues. I am working on this, but in the meantime I am going to sub #95 overhead walking lunges in their place. Just finished yesterdays WOD using this substitution. Any comments or suggestions?

Newbie here.... Started CF 4 weeks ago and loving it!

I have searched for several hours in order to avoid asking a repetitive question, but am in need of assistance. Someone posted an Affiliate website that has scaling for each current WOD, but I can't find the thread. It's not the one listed in the FAQ section. Would love it if someone can post the link for me and I promise to save it in my favorites.

I really enjoy reading posts that encourage everyone to improve. Can't wait til I can do more WOD's as RX'd!

Hey SuzieQ-
Here is the site you were looking for. A small tip, look in the forums on their site for the scaling.

http://www.brandxmartialarts.com/

If you lose the site, it is on the main CF page almost at the top of the Affliates to the right all the way below the certs and seminar listings.

Kate

Thanks Kate and Jeff for replying so quickly!

I am aware of the Krav Maga website that is posted on the FAQ page and find it quite helpful.

I am searching for a different affiliate website that someone had posted, which also has scaling on their homepage.

I figure the more info I can get to find what works for me, the better!

Thanks, Suzie

Just for clarification, we have been a CrossFit affiliate for 4 years. We run 20 adult CrossFit classes, 4 CrossFit Kids classes, 3 Crossfit Kids advanced classes, 1 Crossfit team training classes, and 1 CrossPit class. We also offer 2 Krav Maga classes.
We prefer to be labeled a CrossFit box that offers Krav Maga.

Finished with 2 rounds of 10 PUs, 3 MUs, and a 30 sec Handstand hold - not for time. In the second round got the 3 MUs in a row - not with turning my hands out. I've never done MUs in a row before.

Then did 15 intervals on the slideboard (:15 on, :45 rest). Next time, we'll stick to 2:1 rest to work intervals to make up for the slower pace of the slideboard vs. skating.

I'm a newbie, started crossfit about 6 weeks ago. I'm lovin it. I love the workouts, all of the new stuff to learn, and all of the motivational material that keeps getting added to the site. Strangely, I'm addicted to reading these comments!

I haven't had a question yet that I couldn't find the answer on the site within 5 minutes of looking, except maybe what to name my new puppy, but now I have tons of options... (:

Bingo, thanks for attempting to keep the "already answered elswhere" questions to a minimum.

Deadlifts, normal bar, no straps or belt.

here is a 60 sec pull up record attempt (successfull with 46). the pull ups are supposed to be normal, no kipping leg/hip assistance (looks like the guy uses a bit of a kip in the video though). there can be multiple sets done in the minute if necessary.
i see people posting here saying that they have done just as many. why don't i see you guys going for a record?

Happy with form this time, but still scared to go all the way to failure. Although I think it was not too far away this time. 2xBW is in sight!

(I used to be "PM in cgy", but changing to "Pierre in cgy" as "PM" gives me too many false hits when searching for past results).

I decided it my be fun to try for new PR's on press and squat in addition to the DL. I managed my pr on the press at 145 and I increased my squat by 20lbs for a new PR of 275. This is a great day!

Awesome. My back will kill tomorrow. Great workout.

YEEHAW! I've been working to get past 300lbs for over a year, mostly during CFT's, and finally got three PR's in one day!

Finally started offically doing the Zone one week ago, but simply cannot believe it had anything to do with this sudden bump. Happy Football day.

Great, second time doing this, after making up Saturday's workout. Going to go for 2xbody weight next time!

CF WOD - DL Day

Warmed up with double overhand grip, performed overhand grip til I couldn't then proceeded to go up after that; then switched to traditional powerlifting/DL grip:

DL-OH grip: 271/311/361/401-miss

DL-PL grip: 401/451/501/551

I have been doing CF for about 4 months, love it! Anyhow, my best powerlift is the DL! I haven't DL'd heavy since June 07, when I last competed in a DL meet.

My best DL in a meet is 705lbs @ 230 bdwt, and 650lbs @ 214lbs bdwt...lifetime drug free lifter, now 37 yrs old!

I have been using the double overhand grip while doing CF to increase my grip plus make the DL harder for me. I was really happy to pull 551 without DL'ing or squating heavy for 8 months.

I wish I would have discovered CF about 20 years ago. thanks!

113 davidorr: I hope Coach doesn't see your reference to 95# overhead lunges. Yikes! Keep stretching; just grab a towel at both ends and pull it over your head and down. When doing overheads, what's worked for me is trying to put my shoulders in my ears, really activating them and then with the bar trying to pull it apart in the overhead position. When I first did them I was holding the bar up rather than trying to hold it up and slightly back by pushing my hands out. there's a sweet spot where the bar feels stable. As loads increase, I have to descend slooowly to maintain control. I hope I haven't confused you or given you bad advice. Live strong brother!

got it off the floor on the first failed attempt but felt a tweek in the back. Didn't even budge it on second attempt and felt the same tweek so back it in.
Felt good and confident about 400 going in and seemed warmed up enough.

after reading Starting Strength, i am making adjustments to my DL form; specifically, i am really trying to use the quads first to open that knee first while keeping the chest up. realized i've been using almost all hamstrings and glutes for this one.

CFT PR is 330, so i have a bit to go to get there with my best form.

I fooled around with these several weeks ago, and I got above body weight - 160.

Today, kind of messed it up because I started too low, again. So I definitely did more than 7.

one day i'll get to 400... got close, then sank backwards. making forward progress again at least.

30 minutes yoga

i've found since i jacked my knees i can still DL if i start a little higher. downside is i can't get my quads involved as much.

finally hung a pullup bar today to use instead of the I beam in my garage. big improvement... no more excuses for being bad @ pullups now.

Current PR is 385. The first miss at 400 was so close, the 2nd was even closer, just couldn't quite get it. It did, however, put the wood to me...after those two fails, I was pretty wiped out. Did a few more at 315 after the WOD. Not terrible, but a bit bummed I still can't quite get 400.

leslie ap is visiting me here in lovely Bmore -- its been SO nice to have a buddy that's so into CF like me! we did the CrossfitHEL workout from yesterday:

10 Burpee
10 Med ball clean (10% BW)
10 wall ball (10% BW)
15 rounds for time

Leslie subs -- 4 rounds with 16lb med ball/11 with 12; burpees with pushups to knees 9 rds/to med ball (no pushup) 6 rounds -- 42:42

Colleen subs -- 12lb med ball; 1 round regular burpees/10 rounds on knees/4 on med ball -- 46:52

fantastic workout -- so much longer than either of us anticipated. great to have someone to gut it out and curse with. we thought we might do the heavy deads afterward, but we were too spent.

I tweaked myself pretty good after 385 and threw in the towel. Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor. Either that, or I'm a baby.

Worked up to 365# Tried 375# which would equal my personal best, but I didn't have it today. Did a workout yesterday that had about 80 reps of 125# deadlifts, so I didn't expect to shine.

Yo! I'm still stuck in a hotel room, and there's nothing really heavy to DL around here. I tried to lift my rental car by the rear bumper and I swear the rear tires were sooooooo close to coming off the ground. Actually I think they did a little. Anyway, that just didn't seem like enough so here's my in-suite, travel-size, "Helennette".

Testimonial alert! Skip to the end if you have all the motivation you need!

Today's workout could not have been better. I met a girl in the gym about a week ago, Celeste, while she was in the middle of Lynne. We worked on her kip in the middle of her workout, and by the end she was stringing together 10 pullups. Today, we got together for some deadlifts- her PR was 185. She stood up 225 with no problem. I'm talking big time. A little foot stomp, some odd looks from other gym goers, and its all good. I cant say enough about the unrealized potential she has displayed for about a week. Just had to put that out there. Great work.

Testimonial over!
