AWESOME!

Dave beat me to it.. Psyched. Took an extra rest day this week. Now, I'm antsy to get back at it.

Deadlifts-exactly what I need. Can't wait!

No way! 21-15-9 HSPU! Don't know how I'll get through this one.

Oh...my...god...

Good god! Nuff Said!

I totally called this one.

How can you NOT comment on Nicole?? (hope your not too offended Mark)

great teacher, athlete, person
my diet is horrendous but after listening to her- she makes me want to try harder...I will

just finished filth 50

15 lb wall ball/ made it with sand in basket ball
25 lb dumbell /all i had
23 in stool box jumps... hey,it worked
29:12

That must be some bug
Bite your head off, man

It's only 45 DL's and 45 HSPU's

Way to go, Z!

Guess the 60 HSPU's I did for Mary yesterday were not enough! Lets go!

Good! I need to work on my deadlifts, and handstand push-ups. Although, I might have to use straps for some of the deadlifts. I am going to try to do without but it isnt going to be easy.

Watti- you will love this one..Yeah let's go 6th hour crew!

DL's cool. HSPU's not so cool.

Deadlift and shoulder presses it is!

Hmmmm I love this workout, but I must protect my bum shoulder.

made up work out for the station the other day: we called it the crazy Irishman
150 wall balls
150 1 pood kettle ball
150 sit ups
150 back extensions
150 double unders
took 37 minutes to complete

Pierre,
Bummer about your shoulder. Shoulder presses don't bother it but HSPU do? Just curious.

Hot diggity! DL's! Still can't do a HSPU, one day...one day...

is it bad i just made the "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" mashup my ringtone? LMAO!

MMMMMM...HSPU! That's good I need to work on those.

S/F

Coach...please no more deadlifts. My back can't take it. I'm still recovering from Linda.

HaHaHaHa More deadlifts .....HaHaHaHa.....the pain.....HaHaHaHaHaHa....

My rest day consisted of 8 hours of Brazilian JJ. Now i have a torn ligament in my finger and a broken toe.

Ill be out for a few weeks. Good bye progress.

new to crossfit and already hooked. Cindy was tough yesterday. ripped a callous off my hand, felt like a right of passage. can someone tell me, for Diane do we rest between deads and handstands, or superset and rest between 21,15,9 or just power straight through? thanks.

sweeeet! my legs are going to hurt

Ouch....I hate Diane. Well, my arms sure hate her.

Curses!
I just CAN'T do this. My back can't take it. I did KB swings and Med ball cleans tonight and it cramped up and felt like it did right after Linda.
I promised myself and Mike if Diane came up I would spare myself. I hate missing workouts.

I'll work on Muscle ups, pull-ups and dips tomorrow. Then watch that stuff come up tomorrow. hahah

Oh, me achin' back. Are Linda and Diane evil twin sisters?

This will be a good one...

In8girl and RynoGSX...you're in trouble with those HSPU! Good luck! :)

Gnat

cant do hspu that well whats the best alternate or variation, or should i just do what i can

i dont know what a superset is, but you power right thru it as fast as you can. break it up in sets if you cant do 21, or or 9 in a row, but go as fast as you can.

Nicole is excellent.

That's a cool picture of Zach. Are those big stones used in strong man competitions? Where did he get that thing?

#24
it is the best training very competitive ,very fun ,very ect... rest only as needed you will be putting
up sub 3min fran's sub 5min diane's work hard, eat clean

I listened to Nicole's video while eating my 4th piece of pizza. My teeter toter is bottomed out on the insulin side right now and I have to go to bed. By the way, I thought my teeter toter was on the outside :>)

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

Allison,

Yep, that's an Atlas stone. Most people use molds (Slater's Hardware) to make them out of concrete because that's the cheapest way to get them.

Zach,

Get those feet together, re-wrap and pop the hips brother! That's a damn good lift with no tacky!

as rx'd

7:00

I don't have the money to eat super but I eat alright. I will never cut out carbs...never

Hmmm. OK.

21 reps of deads with 225 lbs. I can do that in . . .oh . . . .21 sets.

Are Zach's eyes always that red, or is it just something that happens on lifts like this?

Yeah Freddy its more tortion and load that gives it a hard time.I never recommend diagnosing ones self but...

I can use a moderately loaded bar. Something roughly 15lbs under bw. Push-ups don't bother it too much. High rep pull-ups start to hurt around the 30 mark.

Its taken me nearly a year to get back here. I've been slowly but surely rehabing myself.

Oh and living well under the poverty line didn't help either.

It probably needs surgery too. I'm a big fan of knives just not getting cut.

HSPU's for some reason hurt quite a bit after a couple of reps. I wager it has to do with 1.load 2.the elbow & shoulder being trapped through its range of motion as the hand position is fixed.

I will get X rays once I get a new job since I've basically got 100% function in it, and it plays nice as long as I keep within its arcs of fire.

I think Tony probably has it tearing on video. Its all good! I barely have time to train these days anyways with work and the gym. Once a week maybe.

You know what they say. If you can't do teach, if you can't teach work for the government.

If you don't make any money at either one, try both :)

Did a modified one of these tonight...185 lbs deadlift and 65 lbs overhead squat...back and shoulders are a wee tight..

forgot to mention PB by 6:56. always good when you can do the same work in half the time. it must be working......can't believe it took me nearly 14 mins last time

Nice pic Z! Underground strongman training at its finest.

#34 Billy
Too Funny.
Nothing like being mid-sleeve ...er I mean mid bite of Girl Scout cookies & listening to a lecture about nutrition to almost, almost make you want to spit them out.

I've been zoning for 2 weeks. Lost 6lbs I cant say I feel all that different except I want chocolate milk all the time. :-)

ANYBODY what should i sub HSPU with?

shoulder press of sorts ^^
you trying em against a wall or freestanding?

anybody know how heavy that ball the guy is holding is?

yes according to the caption it is 260lbs

wont do this one for another two days. trying to catch up.

Did linda, but only 10,9,8 and 7 rep rnds due to time constraint.

Nicole C,
Great lecture on the nutrition teater-totter! After our dinner talk at the Charlotte Cert, I felt bad about my critical comments on better nutritional information. But now you exceeded expectations. This CF Journal lecture is exactly on message will make an impact on many folksI am inspired and I will stay 'in the zone' during my deployment next month. Great job, and thanks again for the inspiration. Paul

Did Cindy tonight - got 7 rounds. last time was seven rounds, but 5 of them were with jumping PUs. Tonight, all PUs were kipping (or in my case, kicking. My pullups stink!) At least there was some improvement. Not sure the back is up for DLs, but we'll get after it.

ricky campos...

Do Not Use Straps...you know better, I know you do. Go without for that old b*%ch you saved the other night at Chevy's (free drinks homey).

Thanks Nicole,

"Half measures avail us nothing,"

finally getting my nutrition more dialed in.

Help!

I have pulled or strained an ab muscle, probably while doing kipping pullups on one of the CF WODs with a lot of PUs. Now, doing even one PU (kipping or strict) is like getting stabbed in the gut. I never realized how one uses ab muscles to do PUs, until this pain started.

I plan to sub lat pulldowns for a while, until it stops hurting, and slowly add a few PUs after that time. Does anyone have any other suggestions for a decent sub for PUs?

Finally found a giant tire to flip. This beast must weight about 300 pounds. I'll post pics of it in my gym shortly. Now I'm just waiting for the snow to melt so I can actually have some gripsion when I work out with this badboy!

"Nearly Righteous Dead Stop Diane" - 8:12. I've been stuck around the 4:30 mark for a couple years using 225# touch and go deadlifts/nose to carpet HSPUs. My goals have changed. I want to use clean deadlift technique and increased HSPU ROM to achieve a Diane score.

185# dead stop trap bar deadlifts - No bouncing or touch and go reps. All reps started from a complete stop from the floor. Hams and butt felt these much more than bouncing reps. More challenging then bouncing the weight, but still relatively easy. Weight can be increased in the future.

HSPUs done off 8" blocks created hands to earlobes depth with top of head touching floor and full elbow extension. "Nearly Righteous" - truly righteous would have been hands to shoulders depth but I'm not strong enough in that ROM to treat it as metcon. I was able to get 5-7 consecutive reps each round before the breaks started. These HSPUs really killed my time.

I did this as a baseline for future increased difficulty Dianes. It really exposed my weakness - increased ROM HSPUs.

Awful time. Just had a hard time with this one. Disappointed with my time though.

Just a chat..

I was amazed, last weekend I had to move my old TV, I sold it to my sisters boyfriend.

He works at the airline, tossing your luggage around, and well me, I can D/L 375, squat 325.

The TV was 216lbs.

I thought I was going to die, we had to carry it down some stairs and out to my Honda Element.

I've still got bruises all over my legs from resting the fricken thing on it as it started to slip.

The key to my blabbering?

GRIP IS EVERYTHING!

There was nowhere to REALLY grab the TV, with it's rounded edges, it startest to slide. I'm pretty sure that if we managed to have a decent grip on it, we wouldn't have had near as much trouble. It was only 216lbs afterall. :)

Anyhow..

Have a good weekend.

Diane kicked my butt. Deadlifts were fantastic, I love those. I can't do handstand push-ups though. I'm thinking it might be technique, or that I'm just to weak for my body weight. Either way it's now a goal of mine to learn, execute, and become proficient. CrossFit is King.

Are deadlifts with dumbells close to deadlifts with an olympic bar? How would the weight scale up or down? The hotel I'm staying in doesn't have a bar.

KELLY....You are Righteous! Awesome stuff.

I need some bloody shins advice re: deadlifts.

I had some scabs on my shins from the last time we did deadlifts and halfway through the first set I had rubbed these scabs raw and got quite a bit of blood on the bar (not to mention the pain was a bit distracting). I know Rippetoe wants us to drag the bar along the shins, so do people use knee-high socks or warm-up pants or soemthing (is one better than the other/do they even help)?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

I've been doing Crssfit for about 4 weeks now and absolutely love it. It's probably cliche to say, but it's changed my whole outlook on working out. I have a question though. Does anybody have trouble with their hips? I'm 34 years old and I don't think I should be having any issues. The pain is in my upper right groin/hip. Any help you could give is much appreciated.

pr by over a minute. My first pr since getting the nasty flu a month and a half ago. HSPUs were against wall with a leg kip. I counted lockout with feet falling if there was still significant weight on my arms. I'll get more strict on the rep count as my ability improves.

The HSPU are killing me, is the goal of this workout speed or moving the weight?

Should I scale back and go faster, or go as Rx'd and get stronger?

Thanks

HSPUs feet on ledge, 185lbs deadlift

~2 minutes faster than my last as RXed time, but I didn't want to go full-bore on the deadlift since my back is recovering from a sprain. I was probably overly cautious.

M/26/5'11"/165

I just started Crossfit workouts, so I scaled down the deadlift portion of the workout to my bodyweight, 165 pounds. I performed a variation on the HSPU's so that my legs were propped up on a flat bench, my hindpart elevated in the air.

The workout took me approximately 13 minutes to complete; small rests were taken during the deadlift portion of the workout because I was unable to complete the prescribed amount of reps in succession.

HSPU: Right now I do them by putting my head on a a stack of four 5lb plates (about 3 to 4 inches) in the down position. Next time I will do it with two 5lb plates.

I met a new crossfitter at my gym. It was great to meet you Dwinson. Excellent work on your first Diane. Your HSPU's are excellent and you'll be at 225 for your deadlifts in no time! I always love it when I see other crossfitters at the gym.

21-15-9 Reps
185lbs Deadlifts
HSPU (leaning against bar placed at 5')

Deadlifts broken into appox. 5 reps sets with approx. 20 sec. breaks. The wieght was heavy for me and form was suffering, thus requiring breaks.

HSPU not complete bodyweight due to angle on bar. More like a very high angle push up. Played with angle to make as hard as possible. Needed to break sets in half and take 20 sec breaks or risk breaking my neck.

Great work out though not a true Diane for me. It took me 15:45 to complete the above. I finished the above work out by benching my BW 5 times and running on the treadmill for 20 minutes at 8mph on 0 incline.

Loving it!!!

DL @ 215# (30# more than previous PR)
self assisted HSPU with feet over smith bar

question: all of my assisted HSPU sets were unbroken. However, I still cannot get more than maybe one HSPU at a time. What is the next step for me to take towards getting HSPUs?

Allen, comment #123 Petechial Hemorrhages

Nope, they are not normal but they are somewhat common for HSPU practitioners. More than likely, the cause in your case is brought on by holding your breath during the repetition. Breath through the rep and you won't get them anymore.

I thought about scaling it down to 200 lbs but did with 225 and was surprised at how well I did. Form not perfect but good/OK and conditioning good. I still need to work on my HSPUs but they are getting better. (Didn't quite touch ground with head. Wanted to keep the speed and intensity up.)

Hello!

I stumbled upon this site a while back and I have been checking out the WODs and watching the videos for a few months now and I am always inspired and awed by you guys.

I am happy to report that today I finally did my first WOD. I started off with three rounds of the warmup mentioned in the FAQs and I knew that I was in trouble when I was already feeling it before I even started the WOD. Pull-ups are my arch nemesis.

I scaled down the WOD based on the Brand X forums. I decided to try the Pack level.

Pack:
21-15-9
185 pound Deadlift
Barrier Handstand push-ups or bridged on feet

I had to break the deadlifts up into smaller sets. 6,5,5 for the first round 5,5,5 for the second and 5,4 for the third.

For the push-ups I did the bridged on feet with my feet up on a 24" box. I need to work on getting my rear higher up in the air on these. I also broke these up into smaller sets like I did on the deadlifts.

My total time for the WOD was about 23 minutes not counting the warmup. I was exhausted when finished but in a good way. I love that feeling.

Thanks for the great workout!

15:30 beat last time of 17:10. Did this one at work. Recovery time between HSPU is quicker.

I'm new to cf. I have three hurniated discs in my lower back and needed something to strengthen my core. After spending the last 5 years lifting weights, running, and doing crunches, I was turned onto cf by a friend. I've been doing cf for about two weeks now and my core is stronger than ever. I can finally do full range of motion sit-ups instead of crunches. I feel great!!!! For the first time in years, I'm able to get out of bed w/o pain.

Comment #159 for alanNYC (I need some bloody shins advice re: deadlifts.)

Don't fix anything, that's called being Bad A$$! However, if you're being courteous to others, knee high socks soak up the blood pretty well. I wouldn't use warm-up pants as they might restrict your ROM.

Finally had time to do Linda yesterday and my deadlift was definetly limited by my grip or lack there of - It felt like my fingers were going to rip off and I was very scared of dropping the bar - any tips on protecting my hands - should I be doing grip exercises like putty and stuff? I hate not being to do the weight i should because I have girly hands....

When doing the deadlift should we lower the same way we brought it up or is it better to just kind of drop it without bending the knees again? I always am good bringing it up but its on the way down that i run into a little trouble..

Finally got around to doing Linda yesterday - felt like my fingers were going to rip off. Any thoughs on improving my grip? I was very affraid I was going to drop the bar and I hate not being able to to the weight I should becuase of my girly hands...should I invest in gloves or straps?

really need to work on that think i can greatly improve next time if i work on my grip.

Time: 10:40

Decided that since today was my last day at the CFgym before my big trip to the sandbox, I'd end with the girl that started it all for me... Helen.

Couldn't find good rhythm for DLs until 2nd round. Tried to make up for loss of time in first but still my time suffered. Tomorrow will be better.

My deadlift weights have been steadily dropping, but I hope to see an increase soon. These ones felt good after the warmup took the pain in the hips away.

5:25 with 185# and parallette HSPU... i'm not super comfortable doing deadlifts for time so I didn't want to overdo it. I'll use the next rest day to work on HSPU on the wall.

First time doing Diane as rx and somehow I still managed to set a pr...and I'm still adjusting the heat and altitude here in Kandahar Airfield so if I can set a pr despite those things...I'm pretty happy with myself.

First in, last out.

I looked at opt's time and thought wow I beat his time and then I read a little bit closer and thought now your just pissing me off. Great work! got to head back to the gym b/c I know opt is.

OK coach, you found my weakness. HSPUs.

Last time I did Dianne with 185# and HSPUs with head to Abmat. Today I went head to floor - what a difference that makes. After last time I thought I'd be able to get under 6:00. Wrong.

13:02 - a PR as this is my first time as Rx'd, but felt pretty pathetic as my HSPUs were pretty much broken to singles after the first 10 in the first round.

Hooked toes around smith-machine bar. A small cheat of tib-ant at the end.

Powered through DL at 225

Essentially as Rx'd.....5:30
My first date with Diane.

I think I like her
