Nice - shooting for 16 minutes

Funny, I had it figured we would do a metcon-gymnastic WOD and was hoping it wouldn't involve pulling... guess I was wrong.

Comment #4 - Posted by: MarcusG 5'10" 170 at April 5, 2008 9:13 PM

rope climbing = bane of my hands existence, I'll definitely have to try that technique Jolie showed though.

Comment #5 - Posted by: David Vessey - 21/M/165 at April 5, 2008 9:15 PM

Speaking of pull-ups...

I drank 6 beers and whiskey at a party after the IFL event the other night.

Of course CrossFit came up in conversation. A few fighters and their friends said that girls just aren't made for pull-ups which started a HUGE debate with all of up resulting in a pull-up contest..

I told them they didn't know what they were talking about because I CAN do at least 25 pull-ups. No one believed me and a few of them scattered to find some kind of bar that I could use to prove my point or have them prove theirs.

One guy finally came running in from outside. He found a tree! I don't like to touch trees but I was set on showing them that chicks can do pull-ups. So we all went outside and Shad picked me up and left me hanging on this stupid tree branch. It was horrible. All the bark was hurting my hands, it was uneven, had to hold, bouncing and too small! Excuses excuses

I ONLY GOT 9!!!! I fee like I let myself and Crossfit down :( I'm SO mad

Alcohol is bad.
I guess I should be happy that I didn't kill myself swinging around like a drunk monkey in a tree or have a bug crawl on me..
I told the guy I'm going to e-mail him a video of me doing pull-ups.

>:(

Jolie, amazing as always. I am fortunate to get to train with you.

I missed when you did the no leg climb. F'ing cool. I loved the kip on the rope. You rock girl!

when i'm a crossfit "grown up", i want to be like jolie. =) time for some pull ups and to work on my rope climbs. here we go!

Comment #8 - Posted by: angel at April 5, 2008 9:20 PM

I've heard of this workout, haven't done it yet. Guess I don't really need skin on my hands for the next 2 weeks. I think it looks cool to walk around with your hands all taped up anyways. This will be fun.

Comment #9 - Posted by: PE. in SD at April 5, 2008 9:22 PM

It's the kipping, no legged, rope climb! Nice.

Comment #10 - Posted by: JDale m/37/6'2"/178 at April 5, 2008 9:25 PM

This was my first CF WOD. I started with 10. The last time I did it I was up to 15 and I could have gone a little further, but I ripped my hand open. Cant wait to see how I do now that I am getting back into the groove of things.

Comment #11 - Posted by: RRR at April 5, 2008 9:26 PM

Allison, from professional and personal experience, alcohol doesn't make you better at anything except thinking you are better at everything.

Comment #13 - Posted by: Ian Sebastian at April 5, 2008 9:32 PM

Did anybody see the CrossFit article in the May issue of Men's Journal? The article was complimentary of CF and the author said he was hooked on CF.

I apologize if this has been previously discussed.

Comment #14 - Posted by: MikeC1 at April 5, 2008 9:44 PM

Figured we'd be doing a lot of pullups, haven't had any the last two WODs.

Wow she is strong

I'll have to sub jumpers for this but I'll crank em out

I've been trying to figure out what city CFHQ is in and its driving me a little nuts any one know?

Comment #16 - Posted by: Lochaby at April 5, 2008 10:43 PM

How long does this take people on average? If possible I would like to make up my CFT and this WOD tomorrow, but I might put one off until the rest day. If I need to do that, which one would be best? Also, is anyone else still hurting after the GHD situp and back extension workout? I scaled it and still need a "kip" to sit up in bed! It's like I don't have "abs" anymore, but one big "ab" :) .

13 mins & Pull-Ups utilizing kip pull-ups after the 5th or 6th set. It was a new PR for me and done in one of the nastiest, sweatiest and humid (no ventilation) gyms on any Navy ship in the world.

Had to start kipping in the 9th minute. Then Tom, Eric, and me worked on handstand development. Probably not the best idea after this workout, but it was fun. Of course we got all kinds of "what the hell?" looks from the other poor Non-CrossFitters. I must say it was quite comical...three dudes falling all over the gym floor!

I couldn't agree with you more Ken! My CF buddies and I got the honor and pleasure of working out with Barb the last couple of days. We did Gwen and CFT, and let me just tell you - Barb "is the HEAT"! She made a great point when we were chatting it up: "Every CrossFitter that she's met has been friendly, supportive, and encouraging." She couldn't have been more on the money with that - we're all one big family!

It's always refreshing to find yet another CrossFitter in the midst of all of the globo-gym wannabe's.

Comment #45 - Posted by: sadiq at April 6, 2008 7:00 AM

Sunday musings...

1) It's hard to Zone at a business convention

2) I like wine. Good wine makes me happy (see previous discussion with Hari and Spider Chick). Too much good wine in myself or another makes me unhappy. There is a tippling point that one becomes aware of only after reaching the other side. I try to remember this when I drink good wine.

2) Heroes. Who's your hero (or heroes)? Why? I'm surrounded by the biggest names in my professional world this weekend, men and women of astounding accomplishment/talent/contribution, and yet not a one of them qualifies. Is it because my own accomplishment/talent/contribution is so close to their's (but known only to the tiniest group of cognescendi, all of whom happened to have the same last name as I do) that there just isn't enough separation to create enough awe? Is it because we have the same job and it's just that much more difficult to do something that much better? Or is it that they lack some heroic characteristic, without which professional accomplishment is simply not enough?

What is it that makes a hero?

I don't think there is any one answer for this because we may not all agree, and reasonably so, about the hero-worthiness of any individual. Some may require out-sized accomplishment; others may need to see courage or sacrifice or hardship. You might wish to see a certain selflessness in that person. We could go on and on.

But for me I think it boils down to this: someone who is, or could be, MY hero is someone who for whatever reason inspires me to be a better man.

So who's your hero?

I'll see you next week.

I thought that everyone would enjoy this little crossfit tale.....there I was in the gym finishing my crossfit workout and pushing myself as usual. Well when I finished I was laying on the floor exhausted and sweating with my eyes closed and I "felt" someone over me, so I opened my eyes to a person standing over me asking if I was "OK" and I really should keep my head above my heart or I might pass out. All I could do was laugh and say that I was fine, but thank you for your concern......oh how the non-crossfiters dont get it!

8 minute 16k kb jerk set - 72R/73L. Hand switch at four minutes.

15 minute rest.

WOD:

21 rounds + 15 reps. No breaks until round 20....don't know how I hung on so long as my hands/grip were fatigued from the snatches.

Hands in good condition; the pullups pinched up some callouses that will be removed ASAP.

Would it be better to do a beginner pullup (use bench for legs, or jump pull-up) or use a gravitron set at like 60 or 70 lbs?

My previous best was 8 rounds +8 reps but that was on a PU bar so I'm happy since rings are a bit harder for me.

Comment #72 - Posted by: john g at April 6, 2008 8:42 AM

#43, Bingo...For some WOD inspiration just take a look at #63 (Kelly Moore)...that is AMAZING!

Comment #73 - Posted by: AlexR/m/6'2"/98kg at April 6, 2008 8:44 AM

#43: Here is one of my favorite quotes on the subject...

"When the will defies fear, when duty throws the gauntlet down to fate, when honor scorns to compromise with death - that is heroism." --Robert Green Ingersoll

Personally, I think the defining characteristic of heroism is the absolute unwillingness to be defeated. The phrase "indomitable will" comes to mind. It is the idea that you can be beaten, killed, or whatever, but you can't be defeated until you stop fighting.

Comment #74 - Posted by: Kevin 24/M/5'10"/165 at April 6, 2008 8:46 AM

#61 Liz -

Start a timer. As soon as you start the timer, do one pullup. Wait until minute 2 starts. Do two pullups. Wait until minute 3 starts. Do three pullups......etc....

You can break up the pullups as many times as needed within the minute. Say it's the start of minute 10 and you can only do eight total reps before the start of minute 11 - the WOD is done. Your result would be 9 full rounds + 8 reps.

I hope this helps.

Comment #75 - Posted by: Kelly Moore F/44/5'/114# at April 6, 2008 8:48 AM

Comment #76 - Posted by: FNG at April 6, 2008 8:50 AM

#67 Andy...get on the forum...
But to answer your question, just do what you can manage...if you can manage actual PUs (even 2 or 3), then do that. Then switch to negatives, then Jumping...you want to get as many rounds as possible...Just note what you did, and it's all good. You need to personalize the program to suit your needs and level of fitness (in whatever pathways/movements you're short on).
If you're new don't forget the CFWU. Check out the FAQ and starting sections on the main site. Get on the forum and get using the search function...LOTS of cool stuff posted in there.

On Sunday musing heroics:
Heroism is usually unintentional. An ordinary person doing the extrordinary. Unfortunately, for most performance takes precedent over character. The unsung hero is the perfect model of good character. Someone who does what is right for the right reasons, not for personal edification. What greater love is there then this: that one would lay down his life for his friends.

Haven't posted to HQ in a while. Waiting for my gym equipment to arrive so I've been improvising in the park!

Made it out to Inner Strength Crossfit in Smyrna, GA. Nick is a very gracious host and great coach!

Pull-up ladder WOD:

(I think that's 115 pullups... holy cow!)
I also got 3 rips on my hands.

Comment #113 - Posted by: Shana A. in ATL at April 6, 2008 11:00 AM

First time ever posting here. I've been fairly active on Crossfit for about a year now and I LOVE it!! I'm a normal, working, single father with 2 kids in all kinds of sports so time is very hard to come by for crossfit. At the same time, I absolutely HATE if I miss a day. My back and surgically repaired knee problems are a thing of the past. Coincidence?? Maybe, but I doubt it. I still struggle and can't complete many of the WOD's as rx'd, but if it were that easy then what would be the point, right? I both fear and relish the inevitable feeling of utter exhaustion, dizziness, and puking. This is now not just my hobby but my way of life.

Thanks for the very kind words! Geez--I'm sitting here in my hotel room in Scotland (drinking some of that fine wine mentioned by Bingo in comment #43) and blushing.

I really enjoyed working out with your CF cadre at Ramstein, Brian. I wouldn't have pushed myself anywhere near as hard as I did had I been at home.

I feel that I've really found a family here and I meant what I said the other day--every other CF'er I've met (and I've been to a very big cert in SD last August) has been caring, compassionate, and giving.

If any of my CF family ever finds themselves in El Paso, Texas drop by to my garage gym for a WOD--you're always welcome.

May not be able to do too many workouts for the next couple of days here in Scotland, but I'm going to see about dropping into CrossFit Central Scotland while I'm here (it's not real close to where I'm staying).

Great job by everyone so far!

First time doing this WOD so everything was a PR.

14 Rds + 8. I coasted through about 5 or 6 rds with strict form then had to throw in quite a few jumpers. A total of 113 p/u's.

I did yesterday's WOD too, before my pullups. This was my first time doing this WOD as well so naturally these numbers are my PR's.

Squat - 230#
Shoulder Press - 140#
Dead Lift - 385#
Total - 755# (A little disappointed in this WOD but i'm sure after doing CF for a while longer I will definitely improve.)

I also did some 300+ lbs. tire flipping relays in my backyard for time. All of this put together was an interesting workout.

I hope everyone has a great Sunday. See you all tomorrow.

#43, Bingo asks,

"What is it that makes a hero?" and asks why for him, some of his most esteemed colleagues don't seem to fit the bill.

When we’re young, our heroes are people who have accomplished great things that we hope someday to match. Children typically pick a favorite sports figure. At a young age, we don’t appreciate that great accomplishment can be a function not only of talent (something most of us are not endowed with in any great quantity) but also of determination, struggle, and sacrifice . A child may feel sorry for a handicapped athlete, while an adult may feel awestruck.

As we mature, we recognize that talent is distributed randomly, and our heroes move from those who have simply been endowed with great talent and made the most of it to those who have made extraordinary and difficult choices requiring characteristics like courage, effort, selflessness, and principle, characteristics to which most of us have accesses, but only at great personal cost.

As a child, if you told me that some guy stood in front of a moving tank in the middle of the street, I would have thought, “what a dope.” But as an adult, when I saw the picture of a peaceful protester standing down a tank in the middle of Tiananmen Square, I was stunned speechless and needed someone else to put into perspective what I was seeing:

"But history teaches that empires do not break up voluntarily; dictators never dictate freedom; totalitarian state do not overthrow themselves. The sad truth is that the tree of liberty is indeed nourished by patriot blood. The thousands of Brave young Chinese who were killed did not, in Lincoln's phrase, die in vain; their sacrifice will lead their people out of Communist bondage."

One of the other Globo gym patrons did suggest that I just take the squat cage home with me as no one else uses it. After the last three days I'm thinking about having my mail sent to the gym and they can just set it in the cage.

Beat old pr of 16 rounds.
I'm obsessed with G4 TV shows ninja warrior and ultimate bansuke. On bansuke, they had a competition of 1 min man situps, 1 min max back extension, 1 min max push up for a total of 3 minutes. Each rep was counted by hitting a part of your chin/head on a counter to count the rep. The clock did not stop for 3 minutes so transitions had to be quick. I tried this as a warmup to the wod and got 134.

52 hours after GHD wod, still in constant pain with limited mobility. Obviously I'm no stranger to muscle soreness -- extreme DOMS, spasms, burst blood vessels, strains, tears, etc, BTDT. I think it's largely the location, the centrality of these muscles and their role in all body movement and posture that is so uniquely unpleasant. Can't stand up straight, and it takes a long time to settle into a flat lying position. The only relief I've had, onset after 4-5 rounds of the PU ladder.

did a 5k trail run charity race post workout and ran it in 21 min. A full 2 min faster than last year, all thanks to crossfit. I came in 3rd place. A 150 pound classic long distance runner passed me with a km to go and I knew that if I kept him in sight I could beat him on the 400m track portion of the finish. That is exactly what happened and in fact I almost caught the second place runner in that 400.

Comment #218 - Posted by: ben at April 6, 2008 2:35 PM

Open Letter and class review for Crossfit Certification Seminar in Atlanta on April 5-6:

Thank you for teaching me real intensity.

We can read about intensity, talk about intensity, and hell, even watch various flavors of intensity on video - but - nothing can match the actual experience of ass-in-the-fire intensity.

I got exactly what I wanted out of this class.

I'm no trainer, nor do I want to be a trainer; instead, I came to certification class to find the holes in my training.

I found them.

and, in fact, discovered that perhaps, I haven't really ever been *really* training.

More than ever I believe Crossfit is the real deal. It struck me during some of the lectures, that Crossfit is nothing new --- it's really just a packaging of all the training types that are proven to work because they are required "in real work", be that real of fire fighters, law enforcement, military, or as instructor Pat liked to say, "carrying your kids and groceries from the car"

This no ass-kiss post. There were periods where I got bored, but that's mostly during the discussions more geared to towards training and training business - which I just don't care about - so there, I am being a little selfish.

Also, while I can subscribe to some of Nicole's Zone preaching concepts, much of the trainers seem to be single, without kids, which makes writing down everything you eat, measuring everything and being super intense about diet just a little more difficult. If you don't want to alienate the rest of your family and friends, it's a real challenege to find that fine line between doing what's 100% best for yourself, and participating in real life with your family.

The technique training was the incredibly helpful --- knowing how to deadlift, clean, squat and snatch correctly are strong reasons for my attendance and most of the training attention focused on these, and relative, movements.

nice...

Shout outs to Pat, Nicole, Media Guy, Mike G, the Marine from Florida, Jelli, and all the other trainers who spent the necessary time with this sweaty, stinky dude who thought he knew something, but came away finding out he has a lot more to learn and work on to improve.

...a lot more Crossfit training to do.

But isn't that why we're here?

Thanks and Cheers!

18 full + 16 reps, way down from last time. Not too surprised this WOD took at hit, but I approached it with the intention of besting my last performance. It's been too long since I worked at these so that's the reason I didn't PB. Grip was a factor and then I just died at round 17, all previous sets were straight through. Elbows are throbbing.

It's possible I did round 12 twice, who knows. No extra points for not paying attention.

Post-Tabata push ups and SQUATS (for the first time in a while, my cranky ankie held up) 78 and 128. Push ups brutal post-J.T. just two days ago.

I was using a pull up bar outside my bedroom and my grip SUCKED! wasn't so much my hands giving out on me, just the sweat on the bar was givin me the damnedest time. The last full round was basically 13 sets of 1 though lol. Great workout, never seen a workout with that kinda concept. Those minutes just come at you quicker and quicker...GO CROSSFIT!!!

If you're really into CrossFit and don't subscribe, just bust out the $25 and do it. Always something worth your time in the reading.

Gymnastics expert here...

I'm not sure if anyone has told Jolie this but I'm suggesting she may find more success on the rope climbs if she alternates the top arm each time she pulls. That one arm she keeps on top is going to fatigue faster thus making her rope climbing abilities decrease.

Also, another suggestion for other crossfitters. The large arm reach is only ideal when you have been able to do rope climbs for quite a while. At first start with smaller pulls... you will have to do more pulls than larger ones but it will be easier for you to get started up that rope.

Hope that helps anyone having some difficulties. The massive jump and huge arm movements only work for some people, just thought I would let everyone know how I first teach the rope climb to gymnasts.

18 rounds + 16 reps, way lower than my last performance of 21 full rounds.

I'm not surprised my rounds were lower today because I haven't been working on high rep chins in a while, but I was hoping for better. Grip just went after 16 rounds but all rounds were consecutive up to there. I may have repeated round 12 by mistake but no excuses there, you don't get extra point for not paying attention.

Post-Tabata push ups (wider hands) and SQUATS. This is the first time I've done any high rep squats since I sprained my cranky ankie and it held up, I just can't pump out the reps as fast as before. 78 push ups (still smoked from JT two days ago) and 128 squats.

I got to 4 Strict, 14 kipping, and took it to 20 jumping for that final burn-out.

I also did the 30 for the CF warm-up. I got to try skipping those next time to see what I can get to.

I also have a quick observation about myself. I hate strict pull-ups. If I dont do weighted pull-ups, I always resort to kipping. They just come so natural that its second nature now.

I've being doing crossfit for a little while now, but never posted a comment and I thought I might start.
When I saw this WOD I thought this looks easy I was wrong

11:48min round 12
tryed to go another round and died at 5
all up 83 pull ups

Comment #396 - Posted by: Tim Pimlott at April 7, 2008 2:43 AM

ALRIGHT!!
CFWU w/ only 5 pullups each rnd

1st and 2nd set were strict
3rd thru 5th rnd were kipping
6th rnd 3 kipping rest then 2 kipping the the last one jumping
7th thru 15th rnd were jumping and darn near muscle failure... Good workout though i am happy I hit my goal of 5 rounds of good pullups. getting better as i go.

BTW, I've been preaching Crossfit to all my crew and anyone else that will listen, have made some converts, especially among the armed pilot crowd/FFDOs.

Made it to round 6 dead hang, then switched to jumpers...stopped at 10 as I am playing hockey tonight. Could have gone quite awhile with the jumpers. The 21 dead hangs represent a new high in a workout for me, and I am happy with that. Couldn't do 1 before I started x-fitting.

Comment #470 - Posted by: layman at April 7, 2008 2:38 PM

I just learned about cross fit and I am trying a few of the workouts on my own. I am male 5'9 185 and I max out with proper form at 7 pull-up. Should I keep at the regular pull-ups or get on the assisted pullup/dip machine and aim for high reps with say 50lb assistance or should i keep struggling for that extra 1-2 pull-up each new set?

thanks!

15 rounds, no breaks till the last round when I got a rip on number 8. Without the rip I feel I would have had at least 1 maybe 2 more rounds. I even cut my callouses down last night, but 120 is over 2x as many pullups as I have done in one WOD since fall.

This might be a pr not sure, but it felt easy until the last 2 rounds where grip was weakening.

Was able to get one day in in the last 2 weeks. Wife gave birth to our son 7 pounds 10 ounces on March 24th! So I've been pretty busy with that. I went off the Zone for that time period and man what a difference. I ended up catching a head cold in that time. Now getting back into eating on the Zone on a regular basis again.

I didn't feel like doing the WOD today so I did Painstorm XXXVI instead.
Great workout, but 18 pullups into the 5th set, I started to feel really bad, like I was going to pass out. I think I just didn't control my breathing well enough. Oh well, maybe next months will be better. I was around 36 min when I stopped.

Allison,...

That was great.
From now on, you’re only allowed to practice your pull-overs on bouncy tree branches with crusty bark, crawling with bugs while screaming around and howling like a drunk monkey. I can’t take the smile off my face.. LOL.

P.S.: It's really good for you.. it will help your grip strenght.

P.S.S.: Don't worry, I don't think Gaucoin likes anybody besides, well, AFT. Well,... maybe he likes his mom too.

that's a total of 245 pullups in 22 min. all heavy kipping. so sore the day after. it's better not to break up the stes to early but instead keep a good rhythem going with the kipping.

m/29/195
First time I did strict form, dead hang. Got ten full rounds (got 9 on 11th round).
Then rested 10 minutes, and started over kipping.
With a kip, got 13 full rounds, 8 on 14th round. Pretty pleased considering my PR is 14 full rounds, but that's all kipping and not doing strict form beforehand.

As RX'd 20 min + 10 reps (PR)

I did this yesterday on rings dead hang and did 9 rounds + 8 reps. When I started CF 4 months ago I did 10 mins + something with a bar. The improvement on the bar pull ups is mostly due to better kipping technique I assume.

I got my foot which I hurt on Saturday X-rayed today, and sure enough, a small bone was broken, so I'll be taking it easy with my right leg for the next month or two. No jerking here for a while :(

A little better than recent performances of this WOD, but still a couple/few rounds shy of my best. Abs are STILL sore from 4/4 GHD sit-up WOD and might have contributed slightly to my kipping being a little weaker.

This was my first ever Crossfit workout and I've got to say that I sucked lol... I got to 8 minutes with good form, at the 9 minute mark I competed 4 reps with ok form and then just couldn't get past a half rep, I kept trying until the end but I just couldn't get there before the beep went off on my stop watch.

Going back to make this one up after a crazy schedule for the last week or so...

7 rounds, plus 4 or 5

All were done without kipping (haven't tried that yet). I felt fine up until the eighth round when it all fell apart...it was funny, I was so bored during the first rounds, and then it just snuck up on me like that...I thought I would do a lot more...

Strict pulls, 6 rounds + 3 total of 24.

Was hoping for 10 rounds; strict was harder than I thought, but not really metcon in any way. Next time back to kipping...
