Great, been waiting for some shoulder work!

super. time to work on my weakness. BTW my abs still hurt from GHD day

This is going to really suck. Did the workout from crossfit new england today called "April Pain" very shoulder intensive.

Good, this will work to counteract all of those pull-ups...Nice!

back from a break ready to rock on the am

#2 amen brother - I'm still struggling to do the sits in the cfwu!

Does anyone remember the video posted semi-recently that showed how the workouts can be scaled down for older, weaker or injured clients? I think Annie was in it. The workout had some pullups and dumbell lunges and maybe something else. I forgot what the woman who was doing the scaled down version was doing instead of pullups. Maybe she was just hanging there. I'm trying to help spme peple who can't even BEGIN to do a pullup and need to figure out how to start. I think that video would be a big help. If anyone has any idea what I'm talking about please let me know.

Nice way to start the cycle, going overhead!

Like this workout! 3-2-1 go!

I have a dumb question. What is Pat's job? We see him all the time. Does he just crossfit all the time? Whatever it is, how does one get that job? Because it seems like fun.

I'm gonna rock it

I am excited for this WOD!

#6 Andy, that workout video is under "WODs" and is called "Scaled Workout Demo."

StaceySLC

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much.

Awesome Adrian & Pat. Way to represent SFCF with your shirt on Adrian.

One of my favorites...wish I could do it. Sigh...

did this one this morning

135-145-155-165-170
145-155-165-175-180(2)
ran out of time and had to get to work so had to skip the PJ...unfortunate...

going to try the workout demo...those guys are beasts...and i love the coheed playing in the background at CFHQ...

Hey, everyone. Any CrossFitters on Guam? I'm moving there in August or September and won't know a soul. I thought I'd make a start by trying to find some folks who will make fun of my handstand push-ups with me. Email much appreciated. (Be sure to remove the noise from my email address.) Thanks very much!

still playing catch up. did the pull up ladder workout.

19 rounds even (pr).

Clarification please:

does this WOD mean:

5 sets of 1 rep shoulder press followed by
5 sets of 3 reps push press followed by
5 sets of 5 reps push jerk?

Do we keep the weight constant?
Any suggestions for scaling the weight used from one's CFT?

Thx in advance.

shoulder stuff: just the thing i need to work on.

side note: pat looks just like one of my roommates here at Clemson. not the face, but everything else (build, height, even the cross tattoo on the upper back). i just wish my roommate would give crossfit a chance. the only workout he ever did with me was Helen and he did not like it. i keep trying to get him to get into cf but he's too wrapped up in the whole bodybuilding mindset. one of these days...

Sweet can't wait

Think Im going to have to try the workout from the Video instead...

i am new to this cross fit and was wondering do you do all the shoulder presses then go to the press jerk or do 1 rep of shoulder press then go to press jerk for 3... could someone fell me in thanks

First Crossfit workout...can't wait!!! Get it Done

how much weight should you use for this wod?

yes, do all the shoulder presses and then move to the next excercise and so on.

Comment #9

Not a dumb question brad...i've been trying to figure this out too...how on earth does Pat find the time to train, and how long does it take to reach his level??

Pat...u ROCK !! :)

More strength work. EEEE HAWWWW just what i needed. Thanks Coach! I'm pretty sure after all this rest over the last couple of days we'll be itching for some met con on wednesday.

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!!!!

yeah sorry I'm really new as well and trying to grasp how to do this..shoulder press is sets of 1, then push press is sets of 3, and finally push jerk sets of 5?? Thanks for any help you can give me!

RADAR: do all the presses, then all the push presses, then all the push jerks. take your time since it's for load, not for times.

good work on the video guys, slapping pu's are brutal and db cleans are always awkward when used to barbells.

It's official, I'm gonna go find a pair of shorts like Pats

Sure Pat is an amazing athlete and it's true that he also has great shorts, but something is being terribly overlooked here people.

The ABSOLUTE MOST INTEGRAL part of Pat's success is his magnificently full beard. It's true perfection.

I am pretty sure I want no part of a workout that kicks the bejeezus out of Pat and Adrian. (Translation: Can't wait to try that one!)

brad #9- Pat's job is being "The Face of Crossfit." Only badass mofos need apply.

Make-up day today for me. Did the pull-up WOD, the Total, and a One World classic: 13 rope climbs for time. Now after watching the video, I want to go workout again.

25/m/5'8/160

Cool workout in that video. Can't wait to try it. I think adrian woulda won if pat went all the way down on his squats.
Made up GWEN tonight
135lbs as rxed
1st rd 1:29
2nd rd 1:15
3rd rd 0:51

It was so hard to go without stopping, and as soon as I did it made it so much harder. Only rested a couple of times on my chest and on my thighs.

Forgot to mention that the video of Annie doing this WOD is one of my favorites.

Well you got it templeowl my beard is the true part of my success! That beard came with the quitting of my resort job that caused me to shave every day. Its a sort of freedom beard if you will. Wow freddy remind me not to come workout with you, pullup wod, total and the 13 rope climbs for time! damn dude you truly are the true arms of crossfit... havent seen you in awhile ill have to make a trip to oneworld and visit.

oh and thank you jstar, drew, hunter, freddy and anyone else who comments. Also i got to give it up for my man adrian i got him on this one but he is ahead of me in total workout wins between us. I know i am soo lucky to train with people like him it is one of the greatest opportunity's in the world. If you can do it, do what i do and train with people better than you its the greatest way to push your limits.

Sick video.... that workout looks like way more fun than the posted WOD.

two of my favorite crossfitters! awesome work guys.

Another way to do this WOD is to switch the rep schemes so that you begin with the higher and end with the lower reps. Did this a couple weeks ago and found it very effective. Looks like:

Shoulder press 5-5-5-5-5 reps
Push press 3-3-3-3-3 reps
Push Jerk 1-1-1-1-1 reps

Try it, you'll like it.

First time doing the WOD...Do I do the shoulder press/Push press/Push Jerk combo first, then the workout on the video?

Gee Eva...I thought I was your favorite CF'er?!?

#38 - No, I won't like it! It doesn't make any sense.

I'm new to crossfit, can somebody please help? What does 1-1-1-1-1-1 reps mean?
Do I do a big rep and then put the bar down and catch my breath again?
Or do I do a rep and then rack it on my chest for a moment, then go again?
Or is it just 5 reps?

Sorry if it's a dumb question, I just want to get it right!

Awesome job guys! Those clapping push ups looked brutal. I love seeing my San Francisco Coach, Adrian, giving max effort in a rough workout. It reminds me how lucky I am to be working out under the guidance of Adrian and all our Crossfit SF trainers.

Will clapping push ups be making an appearance in class one day? Maybe weighted push ups if we can't clap quite yet?

Pat and Adrian,

You guys make a super tough workout look so fun. And your attitudes are great at the end, as you can really tell how much you love this stuff.

Freddy C.....your 13 rope climbs for time sounds interesting. We have never done that one, but thanks to you, we sure are now. I will let you know the results to compare Florida times with California times.....

Pat, Adrian,... that was just scary. OMG. I might have to try that one and see if I can finish in under 20min. P.S., Adrian, I bet Roger would fly through the slapping push-ups, and then his legs would turn into useless mush on the hang squat cleans.

#39.. Dan Lepore. Yeah, do that, and then send us the pictures of the ambulance coming to pick you up to take you to the hospital. No, just kidding. Pick one. The posted one preferably, because the one on the video is HEINOUS. You won't be able to walk OR lift your arms for a week.

#41,.. Dave. She said "two of my favorite..", wich still leaves room for you to be THE favorite. So you see, you can keep your fantasy. =D

following on yesterday's death-by-pull ups...so all were done with 40# barbell. Just couldn't lift the 45# today! :(

But I did 50# bp after that! which is a PR.

Hi all,

Does anyone ever get their hairs skinned or legs rubbed up from cleans and snatchs?? Just trying to figure out if it is just me and I am doing clean/snatch incorrectly or is that just a product of the lift??

Thanks for your responses!

My shoulders cried when they saw this. They were still sore yesterday from "Gwen" Friday and CFT Saturday.

However, I like these exercises and the fact that my shoulder strength has increased alot since I started CF in Sept 2007. Only bad part is I have to go buy a new suit for an interview now!

I'm still a total noob though. I need to work on my form. I couldn't stop my back from arching a little during the shoulder presses and the push presses.
It wasn't as bad when I focused on involving my abs a lot more, but it still happened.

Good form goes a long way!

First ever SP and PJ.

SP, PP @ 85#,
PJ @ 35# (I hurt my shoulder on the last PP. My form is horrible)

Will keep working on these with little to no weight every day until I get the form right.

there was someone on the treadmill today (aw, shucks!), so i subbed biking. i had just read a thread on the message board about subbing cycling. the overall recommendation was to bike as hard as you can for the same length of time as the run. i did 1, 2, and 3 minute sprints, set the resistance about 1/3 of max (level 6 of 16) and kept my RPMs high (115, 105, 95, 95, 100 per). i SERIOUSLY thought i was going to meet pukie after the last 400. i think that the sub is fine, so long as you go as hard as possible. thrusters were unbroken in rounds 1&2, split 7/6 in 3&4. SDHP unbroken.

Almost knocked myself out on the 1st Push jerk drove the bar right into my chin, LOL! Need to work on my form. Could barely get the 95 in the last 3 sets of push jerks, my form just didn't rise to the task, in truth the last 4 sets of the push jerks looked more like exaggerated push presses then push jerks so I finished of with a couple of sets of split jerks at the end with the same 95. Form wise, these felt great. They didn't go easily, but they went up!

I love this WOD, it forces me to concentrate on form so that I can continue to increase the weight. It just feels awesome knowing that I have more weight on the bar but because I'm progressing from one lift to the next I'm able to press more weight for more reps. Go figure, Coach is right again!

Well, it my crossfit conditioning became clear to me today as my shoulder press is down from when I started, however, my push press and push jerk are way up. I guess I can deal with the loss of 1 rep shoulder only movement since my multi rep athletic lifts are way up.

#57 Bob in NoVA,

That looks like an awesome, butt-kickin' interval workout. Kind of like something a rugby/footie/lacrosse player would do.

I need a little help here - anybody know what CF is closest to Gainesville FL? I'll be there for the weekend and need to train. E-mail me if you know please, thanks.

New to PJ, certainly can feel the difference between clean technique and trash technique. Indeed, if I am new to the exercise how can I comment on technique - but clean is nice and trash is not.

It is what it is.

Re-post from yesterday (still need some info):

I had a few questions for those of you more experienced CF'ers:
1. I've been doing some home/yard projects recently and my hands are really beat up from tile, lumber, etc. I know CF "rules" say no wrist straps, supports, etc., but would gloves be acceptable? Don't know how far I'll get without some protection.
2. Question on the Zone diet: I read in one place that, for any food you eat, you only count the blocks for the main category (protein, fat, carb) and any calories derived from secondary categories are essentially free. But then I also read that if you are eating a food that has two or three categories in it, you count the biggest one but also have to subtract the secondary calories from their respective categories for the block. For example, if you eat ham, you count the blocks of protein for your block count, but you also have to count the fat calories and subtract that from the fat allowance for the same blocks. Can someone clarify for me? Diet has always been the weak part of my fitness, so I would like to get it right this time.
3. On the topic of food, the block chart listed under the FAQs section lists cheese as a protein. However, I recently got some brie that had more fat than protein, so shouldn't I count it as a fat instead? Going back to question 2, if I count it as a fat instead of a protein do I still count the protein in it as part of the block nutrition, or is that protein "free" and I still add a block of protein from another source?

I see someone is moving to Guam and looking for some CF'ers; I'm going to Baghdad in June, so although I don't know what my schedule will be while I'm there I'm hoping to find some CF'ers to work out with. Anyone out there?

I hope my questions aren't too confusing, and I appreciate any feedback you can give.

Tried to be a hero too early on the SP and paid the price for it later.

When you're loving CF, the cost of getting sick is suddenly a lot higher. Cannot tolerate the diminished capacity, the lost workout.

Chances of getting a response are low, but my question: I've got a fever, so probably infection and systemic weakness / fight going on.

I want to do the workout, so shall I just push through it at diminished loads? Historically I didn't let fevers stop me from running.

Think of it this way: most of the benefit you get from a workout is from the pushing-to-the-limit-of-your-strength part. (Or is this false?) So doing a workout where you're well below your normal strength ---- is there benefit? Enough to justify it?

Part of the neuro-endocrine response is to stress against the body as a whole. In this case, being weaker, but still pushing the body to the greatest intensity it can muster, will get the adaptive response that we do workouts for, eg. for metcon (not-applicable to today's press WOD.)

I suppose doing the workout could retard recovery (from the sickness, not from the workout). I wish this stuff were quantifiable with clear answers.

I had to stop watching the demo video near the end, just becasue the music was so terrible on this one. Geez! lol

Hurt my ears so bad!

I felt good about this workout even through the last time I did this WOD, I got 135 on the shoulder press. My push press and my push jerks were both heavier and I was able to to most of the reps without breaking them up. Next time I'll start at the same weight and go up in five pound increments all the way through and I will try to get all sets without breaking them up.

135, paden,

The difference between the two is an extra dip. The push press is "Dip, Drive." The Push Jerk is "Dip, Drive, Dip." The last dip allows you to get under the bar for lockout, as opposed to having to get it to full arms' length overhead. Hope that helps.

I got a PR on shoulder press, but my shoulders are by far my kryptonite

From what i have read so far, now correct me if i'm wrong, but for the 1-1-1-1-1, i put a comfortable weight on, due 1 rep, drop it, increase the weight, and do another rep, and continue that routine with the others? How long should i rest between each workout? and between each set?

OK...clearly I didn't understand this like everyone else did because I did 5 rounds of 1 SP into 3 PP into 5 PJ. That really hurt.

This event seems to be made for crossfitters

#143:

I try to get in an hour or hour-and-a-half nap about two to three times per week. I grab a snack and a vitamin right when I get up to boost up the energy. An hour or so after I wake up and I'm ready to go, any less and there's still a little sleep in my eyes. Make sure you get a good warm-up in.

I really suggest a nap a few times a week just to reboot the batteries.

Good luck!

Haven't done any liftng for over a month, due to working on things needed for a couse I was attending. Happy w/form. will go heavier next time.

Did 4 rds of 400m Farmer John Walks (with 1/4 bodyweight) & 10 PU's. Actualy left me pretty smoked & sore today. Followed it up w/some much needed Squat work.

Get some,Go again!

They say you're supposed to be able to lift 30% more with a pushpress then a shoulder press and 30-50% more with a pushjerk than a pushpress. Am I the only one that can lift more wieght with a shoulder press and pushpress than a pushjerk? What am I doing wrong?

#124 Luke

Since no one replied, I figured I'd give a quick response.

1. The main idea behind not using any gear is to develop your natural capacity, and using straps, gloves, and so on, hinder your grip development. If you can't lift without screaming in pain, put the gloves on, but get rid of them when your hands get better.

2/3. I just follow the 3g = 1 fat block, 7g = 1 protein block, 9g = 1 carb block. If food contains significant amounts of more than one macronutrient, I count them all. Of course, I'm not the authority on Zone and I'm not following it as strictly as possible, but I believe it's close enough.

Cobra CFG!

This is one of my favorites. It usually ends in useless arms and an inability to wash my back because my arms are too heavy. I might have to sit this one out. I've got a little wrist issue. After work we will see what beautiful torture i will do.

Pat have you ever tried the triple clap pushup? It is from the ross training website. You push, clap in front, then in back, then in front, then you land. They are pretty awesome for the end of a work out of a chest substitute. Everyone should try, just be careful not to break you nose learning.

Curious why many people start 30, 40, even 70 lbs. under what they can do on the first set or two? I'm probably missing something, but it seems like that sacrifices total load lifted to get one or two higher weight sets.

On the SP I guess it could be to warm up, I warm up with a few light sets before I start, but on the next two exercises you are already warm. I guess if you have not done the exercise before you would not know what weight, but that does not really seem to be the case.

Am I missing something obvious here? Wouldn't be the first time!

#167 - James

First, I would guess that is for a single rep, we are doing 3 PP and 5 PJ to just a single SP. Not going to be able to go up all that much with the multiple reps.

Second, you probably don't have great form on your PJ and/or you are afraid to pull yourself under the bar. I know my form is not the best and a lot of it has to do with the fact that I can't safely bail. I don't have bumper plates, nor do I have a lot of room to toss the weight if I had to. It gets a little scary pulling your head under a bar weighing almost 200 lbs. So anyway, my x5 PJ is about the same weight as my x1 SP. My x1 would probably be about 15-20% higher because I don't go low enough and there is always a bit of fear of dropping the weight.

Thanks Corey you can probably tell from my results what I'm doing wrong. I think my PJ form is pretty good but I definitly agree with ya that I'm afraid of getting to low under the bar.

After doing 'Fran' at my local affiliate yesterday, this workout sucked! However, I like this specific series of presses ...

I started at 115# in the strict press but failed on #3 so I dropped it back. I restarted the workout at 105# and used that for the remainder before moving on to grappling work with my training partner.

First time doing this workout. I'm still working on my jerk form, so I went lighter than I had to. Plus, definitely could have ramped everything else up at least 10 pounds.

Quads burning/Shoulders dead (did weighted pushups yesterday - read my blog for training)

It was fun. I got to say that as a true CrossFitter, I love strength days more than anything, being that I come from a strength/power background. I didn't do today's but you can be sure I will complete a low volume/high load workout once every four days. If I came from an endurance background I could see how you guys would enjoy the mental, large volume workouts instead of strength days. The thing is endurance athletes should spend more time in the strength dept. Getting stronger is where it's at.

Pat/Adrian, nice job on the workout fellas. Hope to be filmed right along you guys sometime in the future. Be on the lookout.

I'm one of the people who always starts 30-50 pounds lighter on the PP and PJ in my first set (or two). I do it mostly to make sure my form is solid in the first set or so transitioning from one exercise to the other (and secondarily because my shoulders are SUPER tight and even after stretching and warm-up I prefer to take them through a couple lighter sets of each exercise to get them loosened up).

Thanks for the link, Chef D. I'll keep an eye out for SO2 Monsoor's award citation. That's one terrific shipmate.

Worked on 1RM deads today, as it's been ages, the ankle wasn't much of an issue physically, but the strength has taken a hit. I stopped at 373 and that felt very heavy. That's a bummer seeing 416 was my last PB but losing some strength there is to be expected.

Holy cats, 3 PR's in one day, I am so happy I'm bouncing off the walls.

My jerks need some practice but I am slowly improving. I have seen the light for about 3 weeks now and I think it was a week or two ago I couldn't get anything over 155# up and today I did 175#, so something is working.

I did 200 slege hammer-to-tire swings after this for a nice cool down ending.

I hope everyone has a great day, see you tomorrow.

I have to give credit to CrossFit's videos as educational tools. I'm paractically 100% self-taught when it comes to the Oly lifts, all based off the clips. I had an engaging conversation with a high school coach regarding lifting mechanics, based off his assertion, while watching me today, that I knew what I was doing. He even liked the fact that I wasn't wearing any shoes.

Good stuff guys..very motivating.

Could have gone a little heavier and would have felt more confident on PP and PJ with bumpers.

By the time I got to the Push-Jerks, I was spent..also first time doing this wod, didn't quite know where to start with the weight..

SP: 135# for all 5 sets
PP: 135# for all 5 sets
PJ: 95# for 3 sets then quit because I was getting wrist pain & didn't want to push the envelope today. Lowered the weight on the PJ's due to lack of coaching and proper technique - trying to figure it out on my own until I can make it to a seminar.

Peace out.

Wow was I sore from yesterday!

Looked back at my first attempt at this WOD. My weights are WAY up on the pp and pj, butI gassed out on the pj today so I did my last two sets light. The push press really kicked my ass.

If I could just keep flat on my feet during the initial drive of the jerk I would put up way bigger numbers. Practice!
