Any clever suggestion on doing this in a hotel gym? I might just have to do cindy instead.

I've been waiting for this workout! EXCELLENT!

My wife and I were talking about what would be for Monday...I called it on the money!!

Thanks Coach for an awesome program!

S/F

Nice work Jelli on the OHS. Pretty much how my whole body is feeling right now after doing Eva

How tall is Jelli? Is there evidence that supports the premise that these types of movements are more difficult for taller athletes?

I've noticed that the female CF powerhouses are somewhat petite in terms of height. Am I off base?

Freakin' awesome Jelli!

I was bragging about Jelli at the Box last week because of her 28 tabata squats. I didn't even know that was possible. This was even cooler!

Strong woman. I want to do that.

Looking forward to this workout... I'm a little nervous about the weight coming crashing down on my head. My jerk PR was 120 a long time ago which means I can't OHS my body weight once. Now I'm even more impressed... and frustrated that I can't do it!
I guess it's time to start working on my OHS :/

I feel like a Slug. I haven't worked out since Tuseday except some muscle ups on wednesday and today. terrible. I'm going through CrossFit withdrawl.

Theresa-I was told that if your torso is short in comparison/relation to your femurs then things like deep squats will be harder for you but things like split jerks will be bit easier. So i would agree with your observation and by experience I have found this to be the case.

We did this last on December 14th if that helps anyone.

...Mike

AllisonNYC don't be so hard on yourself-you were there for the hang cleans on Wednesday and cleaned a lot!

Been on a church thing all weekend. So combined with being sick last week, I have 5 workouts to make-up. Ughhh, better get cracking. 3...2...1...GO!

I have no shortage of strong CrossFit ladies to look up to. Thank you coach!

Ec how are your overhead squats? In reference to theress's question, comment #5.

You get good at what you do, and you find ways to turn perceived deficiencies into advantages.

Consistency is to being good at anything!

Great job Jelli! One day I'll get mine!

Can't wait till tomorrow to see how my shoulders feel after today's little "Eva" dealio! Should be interesting...or entertaining, depending on who you are and where you are standing! Haha!

"There is no best, only better!" Get some!

I am just wondering if I have to use the same weight for the three exercises and if you have to split them.

Thank you!
Jean-Luc

Nice n early, ty coach

Jean-Luc,
Work up to your max effort for the prescribed # of reps.

thanks theresa, i was having a brain fart and wondering the same thing!

Sorry about the double post, my blackberry and me don't always get along.

Any clever suggestion on doing this in a hotel gym? I might just have to do cindy instead. Comment #1 - Posted by: slacker at February 24, 2008 6:43 P

Try:

-Clapping PU
-Jack-Knife PU
-HSPU

Stim slightly altered by elimination of hip involvement. But whatever...

You'll be done either way.

Any suggestions on how to deal with tendonitus in both elbows?

Comment #21 - Posted by: Paul Jones at February 24, 2008 7:19 PM

Ice, rest and anti inflamatories! Some omega3's and possibly some myofacial release therapy on radiobracialis, or your biceps. Usually a forearm scar tissue problem.

Also stop using a full grip when doing pull ups. The amount of torque on the thumb is enormous. Put your thumb next to your index finger(over the bar).

That may or may not help hope it does.

A little off topic for today's workout but...

anyone ever hurt their wrists from doing muscle-ups on the rings. I think I rushed into it too soon before I got a good feel for the technique.

If so, any help on how to rehab would be so greatly appreciated. It has been about 4 months since I could do a push-up on the floor (palms down) or catch the bar properly when doing cleans, etc. It's getting better, but very slowly. I've done the whole physio thing and resting and bla, bla, bla.

This is not whining...just looking how to get better so I can start hitting my workouts properly. I'm getting "shack happy" so to speak!

Thanks in advance!

Rest? What does that mean?

Cool, my fav!

Paul,
Rest means taking a break from activities that aggrevate the condition.

Can anyone advise me on a huge blood blister on hand due to Lynne/Eva? I usually discover these developments after they blow and tear. This one I noticed before it tore, but I don't know if I should lance and trim, or wait until it tears. I am sure a tear is imminent upon grabbing a bar again. Any advice would be appreciated. Nothing that I could see was on the message board, but I could start a thread I suppose.

Thanks...and maybe someone else is dealing with similar issues after the number of pullups the last couple of days!?

I found a great artcle online regarding hand care for gymnasts that has been posted on these comments before. However, it deals with prevention of tears, and the care of them. No mention of how to deal with a huge blister that is about to be a tear.

Oh come on Coach. You're not going to give us Murph and Linda to round out this 3-day set. ;)

But this is good for me. I need the shoulder work. 3, 2, 1, go.

Pierre,
Hard work undoubtedly plays a huge role in performance, but I was wondering if science supports the premise that height is a contributing factor in success in terms of fitness as sport. For example, I've heard taller men make the claim that pull ups are more difficult because of the distance they must travel to do the work.

As for my OHS, I was at 85 lbs or so, but it will be some time before I can work on these or much else as I an recovering from rotator cuff repair at the moment. I love the OHS though.

Shoulders whew...

I was thinking...The WOD won't be legs 'cause mine are fragged, it won't be pullups because my lats are done, it won't be bench or pushups 'cause my pecs are still sore.

MB #28 WTF? Are you a masochist?

Thanks Coach!

What is the difference btw push press and push jerk? I checked the demos and it basicly looks the same...

Looking for advice/help

Thanks

Hello, I really want to start doing these workouts but I really don't understand the structure. Also some of the names ofthe workouts ive never heard of. Can someone please help me? Thanks so mech

Push press is a shoulder press involving the legs. Push jerk is a much more complicated movement starting with a push press but ending with a squat as the bar is moving up. You can move a lot more weight that way.

Theresa~

I noticed the petite-ness too of Nicole and Annie as well. I'd guess Jelli is around 5'2"ish. Definetly an advantage as Ami said !

On the affiliate page, under Sonz,Jupiter, you can also see Jelli doing 400 unbroken squats. I didn't know that was possible either!

today, too sore to do Eva. It's the kind of wod that needs your all so I'm gonna wait till legs are fully re-couped.
practiced:
13 unbroken pullups
30 unbroken push ups
25 unbroken dips
3-1 min. handstands
5 head almost to floor hspu's
30 unbroken v-ups
30 sec l-sits

Jelli~ Awesome.

#32 Raisraes-
In a push jerk you both jump the bar up and then get under the bar.

In a push press, you use your legs for an initial drive. However, your feet never leave the ground and you don't dip under the bar to help complete the lift.

The drive in the push press is just to help get the bar moving to get past that difficult sticking point around one's forehead. In some push jerks, the bar barely needs to move at all if you can catch it in a low enough position and then stand up with it.

#33 C-Everything you need to know is to the left of the home page in the links entitled "Start Here" and "FAQs." The names are explained, the structure too. Read, read, read and you'll be ready to go.

Nice work in the video Jelli...I'd be happy with that at my weight :P
Jean-Luc: I found that the weight is very close for the 3 movements...that single press load will be close to the load for the PP-triples and Jerks. I found that after I worked up to my 1RM for SP I kept the wieght the same across the board for the other two.

Oh me, this is seriously one of my toughest workouts, it always smokes my wrists!

#23
I'd recommend a chiropractor that does Applied Kinseology (AK). They are usually better at dealing with extremities. If it has been going on for 4 months w/o relief it sounds like something isn't lined up right.

I had a similar condition. Wrist felt fine for everything except physioball pushups. Doc looked at wiggled my hand wiggled my fingers snapped hand and fingers around. It was better the next day. It usually takes over night to feel better b/c the muscles have to stop spasming.

i aspire to be able to get bw overhead and locked out, much less to be able to OHS it 16 times. WOW. 'nuff said.

This was more recently done on 12-14-07.

Taller athletes not only need to travel a greater distance in movements like the pull-up, squat, etc., but we also move against greater leverage. The limb length is good for some activities, like rowing, sprinting, etc., but not for gymnastics or weightlifting. Since gymnastics and weightlifting are the foundations of CF, taller athletes are mostly at a competitive disadvantage. That just makes it all the more useful for us, the way I see it.

What a great weekend I had!

Crossfit One World hosted Coach Burgener and the Crossfit Olympic Weightlifting Certification. Training with Coach B was everything I imagined it would be. Greg Everett also coached and the always lovely and phenomenal Eva T. was there to. Coach B and Greg E. fixed my snatch technique within a few minutes of watching. By the end of the weekend, I PR'd my clean by 13#, and my 15-year-old phenom, Josh Johnson (147#), PR'd his snatch and his clean (195#). Great coaching by all involved. The Cert was a great mix of Crossfitters and a surprisingly large number of high school PE coaches and football coaches.

I spent some quality time with Craig Patterson of Crossfit Vancouver and Michael Latch of Valley Crossfit. Big thank you to both of you for talking some business with me and sharing some beers with me on Saturday night. Craig, I can't promise you I will continue to drink Scotch, but I will give it a One World effort!

Thanks to Sevan, Carey, Tony B., and Pat (The Face of Crossfit) for the great time spent at One World. The video was AWESOME. That was such a great day. I can't wait to see part II!

Attempting "Eva" this weekend would have been a disaster when coupled with the Oly Cert. I will have to make that one up on Tuesday. I am hoping to fit in the press WOD tomorrow. I have PR'd every one of the press lifts in the last few weeks, so I am hoping to hit some good numbers tomorrow morning.

#27 - When I get blood blisters, it is invariably because the grip I'm using is too tight. I don't get them from lifting, but do occasionally get them after intensive kendo training, but perhaps it translates. See if moving/relaxing your grip helps you.

Here's what works for me. I tend to lance them, wash with hydrogen peroxide, let air into the blister and let it dry out. Once the skin underneath has dried out and is no longer tender (tends to take between 24-36 hours), I pare back the blistered skin, then cover with gauze and tape for another day or two. The skin underneath tends to toughen up nicely once the tape comes off.

Jelli- WOW!

I am continually blown away by personal achievments posted here. I am not sure which of your today posts are mare immpressive.

I for one cant get my body weight pressed (YET) let alone OHS x 16. Now seeing the 400 squats, I am just in AWE.

Unbelievable, well done!

Eva was Brutal today!!!
This is what was going through my mind:
Round 1) If I pace myself I might finish in under any hour.
Round 2) OMG what am I doing!! Not sure if I can survive all 5 rounds.
Round 3) Don't puke you've only ran 200 meters.

I did it at the prescribed weight and reps but was only able to finish three rounds. Credit goes to anyone who finished all five rounds. Not sure what my time was...I couldn't get myself off the floor to look at the clock.

Good Words Freddy C! I completely agree, it was a fantastic cert and while I still have a long way to go on my Oly lifts, the improvement and confidence I gained over 2 days was tenfold. If you don't have the formal background in lifting (like me) I highly recommend this for all CF's early on. A huge thanks to Coach B, Greg, Eva and all the fellow crossfitters for making it such a great event. Most of all thanks to One world for giving us all a great facility and hosting a memorable cert.

P.S. Freddy if you don't want to make the drive back to Union city Thursday shoot me an email you can bunk up here.

Comment #5

Jelli is 6 feet 3 inches tall..............Her real name (before the change) was Tyrone!

Oh.......she's also a Miami Dolphins Cheerleader, and a superb Coach and Motivator to work with.

Tyrone......now that's damn funny!

* QUESTION *

Anybody planning ahead weights for this one such as the same weight for sets across, or do you approach this one as per usual (e.g. upping the weight till topping out for the day)?

Thanks for any replies,

David
CF Chattanooga

David,
You should increase the weight as you progress. See post #18.

Goodmorning!!
Thank you everyone for your encouraging words. I too look up to so many of the woman and men in the CrossFit world. They/You are the ones that continue to push me every day. Everyone has their strengths and everyone has their weaknesses and we all continue to feed off the energy of others.
By the way I am 5'5" but after the OHS's I may appear to be 5'2".
To all of you...Keep Raising the bar!!!
PS Matt Hunt is the most handsome man I have ever met. Do I get my Starbucks now Matt??

i just like the name jelli. i like the ohs too. very impressive.

#27 RE: blister therapy

This is a VERY effective method for expediting blisters, but it stings for about 30 seconds.

If the blister is still intact,and you want it gone:
1- take a fine ga. syringe and insert into blister at 15 degree angle (or less). Draw piston back to remove fluid. This will collapse the outer skin.

2- with a second syringe, inject .01cc benzoin tincture into existing pocket.

3- push through the burn. The tinture implies a high alcohol content. This is used to keep the stickiness of the benzoin at bay. (like hairspray). As the alcohol evaporates, the inside of the blister becomes your new outer layer of dead skin- and the dead pocket adheres to it until it falls off.

You will be operational w/i the hour.
It works, but I doubt you will read about in any texts....for the record, it is "field expedient"

Today is second day posting.

Worked up to 95# and stayed there and worked on form. Then got on the bike and road for a bit. While I did not increase the weight each time, it felt good.

Thanks

1:15 faster than the last time I did that route a month ago and only running about once every 7-10 days. CrossFit kicks @$$!

Might do "Fran" at lunch with a couple of guys in the office for fun.

Awesome pic! It's like your own, ahem, "private pile" of sandbags...

Will be doing this after work - my golfers elbows are killing me from "Eva" last night, need more time to recover

I think my pullup bar is too small at 3/4"

This elbow pain is starting to get in the way of my progress so I implemented a pale of sand to work on my grip but a larger pu bar may also help - any suggestions are appreciated

thanks

Jelli - Incredible work on the OHS. It was also very nice of Tommy to tell you to "keep going" once you made it to 16. It was kind of like me thinking you should just do 500 unbroken squats once you made it to 400.

For those of you that don't know, we also like to call her Squatzilla.

Aside form being an amazing athlete, Jelli is a first rate coach and trainer who pushes us hard everyday and never accepts mediocrity.

Overall a great day! I should have been able to go up in weight on the PJ, but must have been slacking on form. I guess the increase in reps adds an element of difficulty too.

Hey JroCk: Are you going to show up this time???? I'll be there.

SC pebbLe: I had no idea we met at Primal! I was looking at the pictures JroCk snatched from my MySpace page and saw your name under the one of you being coached by SPiDerChiCk for your first "Fran"!

Awesome. Have you done it again since then?? Did your time go down from the training or up since Spidey wasn't there?? ;) I know my times would be a lot faster if I had that little powerhouse pushing me.

How rude of me to not say, Jelli, great video girl! Great work finished with a great big smile at the end...that's what it's all about baby! Great job!

Love the pic as well! God bless all our brothers and sisters over there!

HEY, I was AT ALBANY last time....just missed the DC WOD on the way up! But you are still welcome, nonetheless for setting it up for all of you! (hehe)
The vid of you, Jolie and Lara, on youtube....what is the damn rx? I want that WOD, and want to do it after recoop from surgery...so what the hell is it!

SC pebble got his first MU this wekend when he was down visiting me! A slight correction in his form on false grip, and centering his focus and up he went, and then cranked 5 more! Fliipin awesome!

And lastly, if that little powerhouse of a spider was beside ME while I was about to embark upon a WOD, I think I would skip Fran, skip Eva, skip Helen...and just do Karen!

Nice work Tyrone, I mean Jelli!!

Might see you guys in FL sometime this month, I'll let you know!

Can someone clarify for me the difference between the Push Press and Push Jerk. Watching the video under the excecise tab they look identical.

JroCK: Thanks to you I got to hang out with Spider Chick ALL DAY. Jealous? You should be. She's the coolest and I wish we lived closer. We have a lot of things in common like boys and CrossFit, she's just cooler, done more interesting things and has much better taste in fashion. She would be a great influence on me. I didn't even realize that she has a wokout with the same name as her. I'm going to give Karen a try. I've never done it!

GREAT JOB SC pebbLe. I'm pretty sure it's just not fair that he got 5 after his first one. Sheesh! When I get 5 in a row I'm throwing a party. Seriously. I'm just excited that I flipped back and fourth a few times. I didn't get to full extension at the bottom so it doesn't really count. I have LOTS of work to do. Not too comfortable with these cuts on my wrists though. They kind of creep me out.

P.S. Congrats to Margie from CF Brooklyn and the Box on her FIRST PULL UP! CrossFit works!

As rx'd

Shoulder Press - 130lbs (failed at 135 - 1 rep PR is 135)
Push Press - 135 lbs (1 rep PR was 125lbs - wooohooo)
Push Jerk - 120 lbs (1 rep PR is 130)

33 m 195#

Hotel gym prevented me from doing CFWU so I did a modified Amundson warm-up.

WOD as rx:

All: 135# (hotel gym and time constraints prevented me from varying my weights)

The final bonus of doing this workout in a hotel gym was that I had to clean the weight for each set. I figured this would compensate for not being able to go beyond 135# which I know I'm capable of. So, all in all, a good workout.

Holy F***g S**t. That was f***g horrible!

Just finished Eva as near as Rx'd as could manage.

1 hour 12 minutes, 53 Seconds! (Allowing myself room for improvement here, don't want to peak too early! :-)

Used 2 x 15Kg plates for KB Swings, the most I've ever tried
Ran 950m around the block each rep trying to keep the mechanics as POSE as I could
Pullups as per norm

Nausea, heart palpatations at one point, shoulder came out on the 4th set of pullups (it went back in).
Small of back is complaining, think (hope) its just a muscle overuse issue.

I now have a workhout I fear more than Fran :-)

HA! Who are you callin a fruitcake?! Karen IS her name you nut!

I was just recently introduced to CrossFit by an acquaintence at the gym. It looks great and I'm anxious to get started, but I've learned to do the research before jumping into something too fast. A few questions:

1. I haven't worked out much the last two months due to a shoulder injury that led to a pulled pec muscle (tried to come back too fast). I'm very familiar with movements such as bench press, shoulder press, etc. but how do you establish what weight to use? Since I'm trying to re-build, I don't want to overdo it and set myself back again.
2. When you have a workout (like today) that specifies repeated sets of the same exercise, how much time do you take between sets?
3. Due to home/work schedule & location I can only do lifting workouts during the week. Since I didn't get the Eva done yesterday, should I try to make it up today or just forget about it and go with today's shoulder workout?

Thanks for any feedback you can give. I've done weightlifting off and on for years, but have never had the desire/motivation to do much cardio. Seeing the CF routine and how you keep it mixed up actually makes me want to get into it, even though I know the learning curve will be tough at the beginning. You guys are an incredibly encouraging group, so I hope I can join the fun.

I know Karen is her name.
She does not have a WOd named after her.
I just said if she was beside me I would skip the flippin WOD and just DO her!
Come on, please please tell me you caught on to that sexual inuendo, and it didn't just fly by you...you...YOU of all people, you?!
Oh dear lord, the lack of working out HAS caused temporary insanity! NO no no CaliAlliPittSantaCruzOneWorldHotelbraNYC! You simply must get back on track and get some!

Again, to clarify, if that little spider came down, and sat down beside ME, I would skip the WOD and try to pursuade her to sit on my...tuffet!

Jelli: That was AWSOME! Great Job!

No business doing push jerks.

I just woke up with an Eva hangover in my traps, triceps, abs, and hamstrings. Note for future Eva workouts: don't put the heartrate monitor on because it only stresses you out more when you think "i didn't know it could go that high".

Ahhh, this feels great after yesterday swing and pu's. Thanks, Eva. I'm all in a fuss just waiting for a repeat performance.

Watching the video of Annie doing this helped.

Should Press 115, 125, 135, 145, 155(PR)

Push Press 135, 145, 155, 170, 180(PR)

Push Jerk 135, 155, 175, 185(PR), 195(1)failed

Had no juice left for the last set. The eccentric portion of the lifts became the hardest part towards the end.

#85 M Obermeyer - Push Press is a press with a dip-drive of the legs to get the weight moving. Its dip-drive-press. Push Jerk is a push press that has a second dip to get your body under the bar so you catch it with slightly bent knees. Its dip-drive-press-dip-catch-stand. Hope that helps.

No problem, I will post my stats for today in a bit and look forward to seeing yours, brother.

First time doing this, looked at the tri-panel clip for guidance, was careful not to overload but kept it challenging (for me).

Did .5 mile run + CFWU then WOD minus the push jerks (I just practice the move with an empty bar)

Shoulder press : 95, 105, 115, 115, 115
Push-press : 115, 115, 115, 115, 125 (failed on 3rd attempt).

NOTES FOR NEXT TIME : Start should press at 100 and move up, push-press at 110 and move up 5 lbs increments.

Made up Eva from yesterday; couldn't make it to CFATL, and had to make do at a big box gym where the treadmills are across the floor from the dumbbells and pull-up bar :(

treadmill runs, 55# dumbbell swings
52:00

A side stitch on run #2 slowed me down, and then a second side stitch got me on the final run. Plenty of room for improvement the next time this comes up.

A workout truly worthy of having the name Eva.

Huge improvement from the last time this w/o posted. I PR'd SP during the last CF total, but matched that weight today. Very good day.

A lot to remember from today's workout...

Push Jerk

This is good because on 2/7 when we did 7x1 push jerk I only got up to 165 -- today I did 5x165 after all that!

I am headed to the Cert at GSX Athletics in Fort Worth this weekend. Is there anyone out there staying at the Park Central hotel?

-Allison NYC-
I recall a post of yours a while back bemoaning a 5k run that you were set to do. (was it a midnight run?)Since you've attended the Running cert have you found running longer distances more comfortable? Are you planning another 5k? Have you found the new running knowledge you've obtained has changed your willingness to run?

I am a miserable runner and find it jarring to my back due to heel striking and all around bad technique. I want to run but a running cert is not in my near future. Maybe I could find a running coach in my area to teach me the pose method.

Thanks for your thoughts

This was a great workout. I need to work on shoulder strenght though. I pushed myself pretty hard for this one and I was breathing fire for the last two sets of PJ's. I remember watching a video on the press and they were working on getting some hip movement into the press. I tried that but it was hard. I am going to need to work on that so that I can get my weight up.

Dont raise your plood pressure too much.

Around 45:00 min. I realized about 20 min into the workout the clock on the gym wall was not working! Then I was interuppted two different times by people asking me what the heck I was doing.

If I never see Eva again it will be too soon.

#46 Ben K:

Thanks for the tip. I was gripping the bar too tightly I think on the pullups. My grip was getting fatigued by about round 4-5 on Eva and I was overcompensating by gripping harder...thus, the blood blister.

I am going to follow your advice right now...to lance, clean and let it dry before trimming the loose skin and so on.

Thanks again, jb

Feel pretty good about that since the last time I tried "Fran" 10 days ago I had to scale the weight to 75 after the first round, and most of the pull ups were jumping so I could finish.

Victory is sweet!

I have recently started getting the CFJ and I have a question to anyone who can help me with the Pre-SOF Training....How would I apply that to my daily CF trainin? Or would you just do Angie, Cindy, Murph, Fran and then take off for a day then repeat? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks all,

#111 kw: It's true. I ran 4mi at Midnight in Central Park on NYE. It was my way of attacking my fear of running. I had been avoiding it because I was actually scared of having an asthma attack (I had asthma my whole life but it's gone now because of my CrossFitting. I couldn't run for the bus without being dragged off in an ambulance) and because it's always just been an uncomfortable activity for me to do in front of people ( I failed gym 7 times in high school because I refused to run in front of a class of boys - another fear I've successfully conquered). You can't RUN or hide from your weaknesses in CrossFit. I decided that if I want to be the best I can be I had to face my fear. I thought that like pull-ups the only way to get better at running was to RUN... I was wrong.

I had ran two or three times before then for Murph, Nancy and Helen. I was surprised to find that it wasn't my breathing that was the issue anymore - it was my LEGS and just general exhaustion. After 200m my legs felt HEAVY. Like they has just nothing left to give. I felt like I was going as fast as I could but I was moving like a snail.

I found out it was because I was pushing all of my body up into the air for every step. You saw how terrible my technique was.

It was also a HUGE mental challenge for me. I KNEW I was bad at it and I was expecting every second of the run to be a miserable experience. It bored me. I was more excited about cleans and stuff like that because I had technique to focus on. It wasn't just like I was going through the motions - focusing on technique distracts me from the discomfort and entertains me :)

After being introduced to POSE it's a whole new ball game for me. The cardio factor is still the same but my legs don't burn out. I love having form to work on when I go out for a run. It makes me feel like I'm improving. There's only so far you're going to get with pushing as hard as you can with crappy form. Not to mention the physical problems with running like an idiot -I think I got shin splints after the first day of the Running cert from 6 400m sprints. OWWW. That heel striking is just not good for the joints. .

I think everyone can benefit from learning the pose method. People who are already fast will get faster or at least just use less energy. It's like what OPT was saying about training smart - you have to go back and work on form to get faster.
The people like me who just have a million wrong things going on and who don't love running can learn things to make it so much easier.

I'm still working on it. I have a long way to go but at least now I have things to practice. It's helping me a ton. I'm planning to do the same run next year. 2008 was 44 minutes! :/ It was the best I could do. I wonder what it will be next time.

I recently went out for a run. Not for time. I ran for 20 minutes to just focus on my technique. No pressure. Try that.

Watch all of the running videos. If you can find a coach in your area that would be great. Learning how to run EASIER will help your CrossFitting just like it's helping mine. Good luck! Keep us updated on your progress.

My next goal - a 10k. I have to admit.. I'm scared again.

Felt like I need to strengthen my wrists as they started to ache and feel week.

Hi all,

Good comments and what a great routine to begin on Monday.

I will be taking it easy the next few weeks. I've found that by giving 110% every workout is starting to break me down and I seem to not be able to recover, repair, and come back stronger. So, without reducing weights or reps or sets, I'll just dial back the time component (power) and roll through until the months of continuous soreness go away.

I rolled through yesterday's routine at a nice pace. Covered it in approx. 60 minutes.

I am truly jealous I cannot be with any of you on the CF Games. If you are near a CF Game, take advantage of such events, friendship, and support.

J-Rock, I'm sending a college (James Madison Univ.) buddy of mine your way soon. Take it easy on him..........then again, maybe not.

Thanks Brian for your encouraging words for those of us who have not experienced Eva. I can't wait to put myself through such a wonderful experience. Funny don't you think that a WOD that takes you over an hour can even be compared to one that takes less than 5 minutes. So funny yet so true. Welcome to the wonderful world of CrossFit.

Hi There! No speculating about the existence of a Spider Man on the message board, if you please. We little web slingers like to hide in romantic corners, out of the mainpage limelight. We also have an irrational fear of being swept away by a broom and aerosol clouds of Raid.

And, hi Allison! Lets get another struggle on again soon. It's awesome to have a fierce chicky to get wicked next to, and you make me work harder. You also make the world a funner place.

It's Eva tonight. I'm pretty competitive at Helen, but Eva is just sick. Sweet mother of Zeus. I'm about as freaked out as I get over Linda. Let's just see how cute I look to the testosterone boyz when I'm puking up a zone block. Perhaps if I post a photo of said upchuck I'll see if anyone really loves me. I've been pretty much crapping myself in fear all day. Also not an altogether attractive look. I'm scaling to 1 pood (Ivan is the only KB I have. The stork delivered him at 1 pood, and he's just not putting on weight like he should.) I tried to swing a 2 pood at the gym on Sunday and after about 4 swings, it swung me. Kelly Moore is baaadtothebone.

Weights are approximatley right; might have done a little more on the PJ.

This turned into a timed workout because I had to get to work. Took only 1 minutes rest between sets, and as it was couldn't do last set of 5, and failed on last rep of 4th set. Think I could have done a little more weight with a little more rest.

Notes: Get under the bar (lift close to nose). Stance should start wider than I had been doing, and weight should be on heels to intiate each exercise. On PJ, move under is helped by going a little wider on the landing.

And Andrew Meador, don't forget tall guys' rebounding advantage (basketball), reach advanatge (any kind of fighting without weapons), so as tall guys, let's not complain about the pullups. Now if you want to talk about evryone squatting down to the same size ball...

I hardly ever incorporate these exercises into my routine so I found this workout pretty difficult. I will definately increase the weight once I master my form.

Yesterday, my first sub 5 Fran!

Today's WOD:
Press was weak (I've gotten 135 twice and today I failed at it, twice)
Push Press up to 155, ok
Jerk up to 175 and failed on last rep of 5, just right

Tomorrow, I'm planning to do Eva, but no matter how I look to game it, it looks long and painful. I'm thinking 7 min mile pace for the 800s and tabata the swings and pull-ups at 6 every 30 sec, but that still leaves me at ~63 minutes, not including travel to and from the treadmill. Do I really have...

3, 2, 1... Go!

Push Jerks were a cross between them and push press since I could not squat too low comfortably... hamstrings are sore from Eva, had to drop the weight so I did not drop it on my head.

Took it easy after EVA,

Did 5 DUs between every set, with a few singles in between, a few unbroken sets of 5-7 DUs with 1 or 2 singles in between. Not trying yet consecutive DUs. Getting there slowly. 16 sets x 5 DUs. Practice- practice-practice.

After that Thai boxing 75 min. 15 min round of pads, no breaks (+ held pads for partner for 15 mins) + 4 min round of pads with intense punching drills and high kicks. Finished with
10 push ups + 15 squats x4 no break and moved directly to
20 ab crunches + 15 squats x 6
Dint time this but everything consecutive and as fast as possible.
Nearly killed myself but had a huge endorphin rush.

seems that 145 just scares me. or maybe its cuz i dont usually work out in the AM.

Thanks Allison. I have done Fran since then and my time went up :( I did go up in weight and was using a pullup bar suspended from lashing strap which made kipping a lot harder. Plus there was no spidey, or you for that matter. I remember at Primal you were yelling "full extension", something I've tried to focus on since.

2nd time every doing a press, first time for push press and jerk. I wasn't really confident with the movements, so I started with weights I knew I could handle out the gate on the pushes. I ramped up the weight too quickly on the press, and I probably couldn't have gotten 145 if I had added the weight slower and been more aggressive. I know for a fact I will hit a 155 push press next time.

That was a great workout. Definitely was a long “lunch hour” workout today. Good thing I came into work early. :)

Push-Jerk x5: 95, 115, 135, 135, 135

Press and Push Presses ended up 5 lbs heavier this time. Kept Jerk weight low to drill form.

push jerks make my wrists hurt, so lowered the weight and focused on form.

Could have pushed harder on the push jerk and push press, but not having bumpers stole my confidence and mental persistance.

press 120, 130, 140, 150, 160 PR!
push press 135, 145, 155, 165, 165(4)
push jerk 135, 145, 160, 160, 165(3)

Hadn't PR'd in the press since I hit 155 last summer. Feels awesome to finally bust that plateau.

This whole workout for me is a PR, as just two weeks ago I couldn't even get 135 PJ single rep. I also was able to power clean it up from the floor when I failed the 5th rep, which is a PR for cleans for me as well. All over a good day.

2/24: ~6 k O. course. Time: 1.42

2/25:
All reps done at 135.

No bumpers today. Didn't feel great on the PPress or PJ due to an aggrivated L knee. Stayed conservative, but had to focus on the hip drive, as my arms were smoked from the eccentric lowering of the weight.

Did today's WOD after "Eva"...wow.

SP: 95,115,125,135 miss, 135 miss, 125
PP: 115,135,135,145,145

those sets of 5 at the end were rough.

Chalk, chalk and more chalk for your hands on the pull ups. It helped me immensely today when I did "Fran". One of the guys doing it with me didn't use enough chalk and had two rippers.
