Pat's Oly Workout Part 2: The Clean and Jerk, CrossFit Journal Preview - video [wmv] [mov]
Posted by lauren at April 9, 2008 6:28 PM
Been awhile AWESOME workout!
Wow. Too bad my gym's medicine balls only go up to 14lbs. Blah.
same with my gym's balls
so I just throw it to 15ft
pat IS the face of crossfit. love it.
looks like I am subbing rowing! A 500 meter row is the equivalent for a 400 meter run correct?
This Looks Like Lemons Laying in Liqorish
~EVERYONE TRAIN HARDER~~Excellent WOD~
I hate running.
I hate box jumps.
I hate wall ball shots.
This will be fun.
We just did this today at ACF!
oh crap. i really really dislike kelly. the 3 things i totally suck at. running, box jumps and wall balls. why not throw in some rowing and burpees too. ;-)
After one round, do you go right to the next or do you take a break?
The Face of Crossfit again!
Kelly- The only workout I've ever quit on. My second or third time doing it I just walked out in the middle of the third round. It's been a long time. Actually looking forward to this one.
hey, how do i get a hold of the coach in the video because he was my high school P.E. strength and conditioning coach at rancho buena vista high school?
Got 14 even on the pullup ladder. Very disappointing even though my previous best was only 9. Wanted 19 like Ken C but figured that was impossible so shot for 15. I was thinking about posting 15 anyway just to look cool but what the hell.
Argh. I am running a couple of days behind, so I have this to look forward to later on in the week!
Kelly is brutal, my legs are usually jello by the third round!!!!
any fitness smarty please help. would it be bad to do the wall ball shots with one arm (since I only have one shoulder right now)?
I just posted yesterday's workout and the next day is already up... nice. So I have't done Kelly, and it looks like it is gonna suck.
One question - What do you guys do when you tear your hands open from pull-ups or whatever? And don't say wear gloves.
Thanks,
Joe
Have a beer or two post workout Joe
Wow, it's been so long since this one last came up, I'm so choked I can't do it!
I actually did it last year because it had been so long and I finally went under 20 minutes. Such a tough WOD.
Salt works best, it obviously stings, but it works really well. Or put lots of neosporin on and bandage your hand at night and tape them up when you do pull ups the next day.
sorry that was meant for #16 Joe
Sorry for the rookie question, but how do you do Tuesday's workout?
Thanks,
Elf

# 15
You could maybe sub squats for wall ball with a bum shoulder
Legs are my week point. I need lots of WOD's like this to get my CFT score up. For # 16 (Joe). I searched the internet for this same answer. I came up with a bunch of gymnastic sites and most had the same response, tape it and deal with the pain. They did give a lot of preventive information though. Most recomend keeping your hands moist (ie, hand lotion, not during the work out, but after and before bedtime). They also say use gymnastic chalk. I think the "technical" term they use is magnisum sulfate or something like that. Just go to amazon.com and search gymnastic chalk, and you will see it. Since I am currently in Iraq and the gym doesnt have chalk, I just use 1" medical tape and tape the SH$T out of my hands. Works good enough to stop any blisters from forming, and I havent ripped any chunks of skin off yet. Hope this helps.
Bobby #11 - his website is www.mikesgym.org
Thank you Wes in SoCal That is a good idea. I have heard people say to lift with the one good arm but i am thinking that will eventually throw my back/hips outta wack. i appreciate the feedback.
The video of Pat with Coach Burgener is the first time I've ever seen Burgener not standing in usual stance. You know, with his back perfectly straight and feet together.......I watch too many videos
16 joe, if you check out this months journal it has a huge section about hand tears. It tells you what causes them, how to treat them and how to prevent them happening. I think it would make a worthwhile read.
hope they are not too sore
Posting one day behind you all ('cause I'm in Oz),
First time with push jerks:
SP 85-100-100-100-125
PP 125-125-135-135-141.5 (PR)
PJ 125-125-110-110-100 Form starting to falter at the end, bad enough to want to reduce weight to avoid bad back position.
Anyone else have/had mid back cramping on shoulder presses? Just new to pressing, wondering if I'm on track...
guys I have really bad shins @ the moment, so im going to have to sub the run for the rower:( is there any difference in the distance or is it still 400m
#29- you made me laugh out loud- and then laugh again when I saw the posted name (I will be very sad if that wasn't supposed to be funny).
Anyone have a good suggestion for a workout I can do at a hotel gym. they have tredmills/ free weights/ back extension/ bench. (I know, pretty good for a hotel).
Thanks for any ideas!
wow, Pat... back to back pics on the front page!! you are a star!
It's all in Pat's beard, kind of like Freddy C. can press so much because of his sleeve tattoos. Those arms must have been a gift from the demon below!
In all seriousness the man has flawless arm tattoos

27:40
did not get any of Kelly today. This morning's workout was a deck of cards (flip 3 at a time to cut out any lag time) workout encompassing 135# hang cleans, 20# wall balls, HSPU, and floor wipers. It was an all around good strength-endurance workout. have a good day.
How come there's never a link to compare rest days? What if I hit a new TV watching PR??
i usually don't have a problem with wall ball shots, but within this workout they just suck the life out of me and i want to curl up in a corner and cry. for real, freddy, this is the only workout i've ever considered quitting in the middle. she is my nemesis and i love to hate her. 3-2-1 GO!
p.s. pat, you are a sexy beast and strong like a bull! =)
#32, Laurel: Do Kelly and just sub thrusters for wall ball.
400m run,
30 box jumps onto the bench ( or step-ups if jumping on is too dangerous)
30 Thrusters (about 15#'s each if dumbells or 45# to 65# bar for women?)
All X's 5 rounds. Do some back extensions for warm up. There, that should do. Happy CF'ing
m/30/210/73"
1 mile (6:45), CFwu x3
"Kelly" sub 20 lbs dumbells thrusters for 20 lb ball 29:57
I really, really wanted to quit. I sat down after 3 and thought that there was no way I could finish. I almost convinced myself it would be smarter to hold back. Luckily I told that little voice to shut the - up! Seriously, I have been at it for a little while (since Dec) and that was a mental breakthrough. I did set myself up for failure though by running 9 miles on the rest day and working on my pistols yesterday (I know, i know, excuses). What a good feeling though to conquer that quitter in all of us that pops up from time to time!
Hey - it looks like pat holds his breath in the video demo when he does his lift.
If he is, I suspect we'll soon see a video of him on youtube with his colon on the floor. someone should tell him not to hold his breath - especially bad when lifting real heavy weights - it puts lots of pressure on the internal organs.
#42
Everyone knows that if you hold your breath you are 10% stronger... geeze

Man.. im a marine, i work out 4 times a week not including platoon pt, so i consider myself a pretty in-shape person. Im sure you've heard it before, first time doing CrossFit, and this workout kicked my butt. I had some obsticals to work through though, no track =( had to do 16-25m sprints, then run across the entire gym to go to the jump boxes, then run all the way back to toss that frickin medicine ball in the air. I loved every second though, can't wait too see the next one. =).
27:51, slow, bad sleep etc, need to get refocused...
So my Globo Gym doesn't have any boxes for box jumps. I just measured one of the benches and it comes in at 18in. Should I just double the amount of reps? Wht do you guys think?

27:06 as Rx'd.
Slow time. Blazing heat. 10 minute floor recovery.
What to substitute for wall ball shots? I have a medicine ball but live in a small apartment.
Puppy routine. 3 rounds of 400m, 15 boxjumps, 15 thrusters. 17 mins. 12" box jumps but I jumped every one of them. 20# DB.
I missed yesterdays workout and was thinking of doing both Tuesdays WOD and todays WOD one right after the other. Any thoughts on which one to do first? I'm thinking of subtracting a set from each of of the various presses from yesterday and then trying to do todays as Rx'd.
#47 Bill
I use to put a couple of weight plates under the bench to heighten it.
32:30, as rx'd. Jumps on 28" picnic table at park.
WU .5 mi walk on treadmill
Box jumps and 40# bb thrusters
WOD
30:30
partitioned box jumps and thrusters 10/10/10
33 m 195#
Warm-up:
1000m row
Joint warm-up
OHS x 15
We did Kelly the other night as a group so I took the opportunity to make up yesterday's WOD that I missed because we were doing Jackie instead (pr'ed with an 8:09, btw).
Anyways, yesterday's WOD, as rx:
115-135-145-150(pr)-150(f)
150-155-155-155-160
160-165-165-155-135
I hit the wall on the push jerks. I'm happy with the pr on the shoulder press, though, so that makes up for it.
Crossfit KAF. Hoorah.

felt nauseous after third round...
viva la revolution!
32.43, About a minute faster than my prior recorded time. Full 24" box and 2x20# thrusters. Given it was an early morning WOD, I'll take it.

I really hate losing...he got out to about a 100m lead after the 2nd round and there was no catching him...
50, Neil in Lakeland, Florida:
I recommend doing the run first. You can't run when parts of your upperbody are stiff, but (unless you black out on the run), your shoulders should be strong enough to pull off yesterday's WOD.

I didn't try to run vey fast on the sprints. I flew through the wall ball's and box jumps though. I'd like to break 20: eventually. More work on my 400's will be needed.
After warm up and 7 rounds of 3 rep max deadlift.
as Rx'd
21:33
I need to get faster on the box jumps.
I used a 15# ball, our heaviest, for the wall throws and a gym bench for the jumping.

First time meeting Kelly...and to think it took about 22 months to do it. Needless to say, she kicked my butt! Getting excited to head to Huntington Beach for my first Level 1 Cert at CrossFit Marina. I'm dreading the long, long flight, but I know it's gonna be worth it!

Gift #44,
Were there a prize for absurd, pointless, or stupid remarks you'd win it.
Your comments are so bad my staff has you figured for a troll. Be careful, please. You're going to have to turn your brain on to stick around.
Kelly as Rx'd
400m on treadmill at speed of 9.0
boxjumps on raised bench to height of 24'
thrusters instead of wallball
24:34
Sandy:
28'22 with 12 box jumps.....
M/22/180
19:42 - The box I thought was 24" turned out to be 23"
otherwise Rx. Out and back 400m
Runs on treadmill with 1% incline.
5k med ball biggest available.
no boxes, so used bench for jumps.
Time: 23:42
Although I'm sure the subs helped my time a bit, all sets were straight through, and I feel like I could have done the same without the subs. box jumps are definately a strength for me.
20:55 for three rounds. I ran out of time.
Rx'd: 23:48 - my first time with Kelly.
Box jumps were the worst for me. WB getting a little easier now.
30:43 as rx'd
400m runs plus 4 flights of stairs to get back to the Black Box. Misery NYC style!!
I'm sure if there were no stairs it would have been at least 3 to 5 minutes faster.
37/m/205
28.53 cracka of a workout.real solid!
#106
You could've hopped the stairs and count it as your box jumps! haha!
Nice, Coach stuck it to "The Gift". I knew his comment was asinine (pun intended).
M/26/170
BIAP EOD
Subbed 20lb wall ball w/ basketball filled w/ 18lbs dirt...tape didn't hold, got dusted on rds 4 and 5

44/5 11/174
ME black box day for me - thank goodness
5x5 back squats
3x8 1 leg press
3x6 Straight leg deadlifts
Will see what coach has for us tomorrow - if not a metcon, will do Kelly then, but will need to sub from injury.
Oh yes, Coach tells the 'Gift' to shut it, I'm in heaven. The only time this guy posts is to make an innacurate observation about someone's form. Maybe have a clue what you're talking about first before you spout off about it.
M/32/180
"Kelly" As Rx'd: 40:38.
Used 4 step-aerobic things stacked to get 24".
Got a lot of strange looks when I carried my homemade wall-ball into the local city gym. One of the Personal Trainers asked me what I was training for, I said "fatherhood."

#17 Joe c,
The journal this month has a good article about tears.
We also have a little different technique. I tore my hands on sunday and have been posting my progress on my site. At Crossfit ATM we immediatly salt the tears. The rest is on my blog but that is the most important part of the treatment. try it, you will be surprised.

This workout was a bit crazy for me today. The gym was really warm and I thought I was gonna pass out at round 4!
One of the gym members (non crossfitter) commented that the stuff she sees me doing each day is manic. I told her she could do it - reckon she's secretly thinking about it tho, enough to make her want to talk to me about it anyway. I'll start chipping away at her and she if I can get her converted.
51:56
substitutions for the run did 1:30 bike rides alternating sprints and hill climbs and since my gym's largest medicine ball is 10lbs I did two sets of 30 for wall balls per round

400m runs, 200m out and back
approx 24" jump on stacks of roof shingles
sub'd #15 ball (heaviest I got)
I'm new to crossfit but not to fitness. I've been addicted to fitness of one form or another all my life but have NEVER been challenged like this. For the past 10 years I've been focusing on the bodybuilding arena, but I have found a new love-CROSSFIT!
I'm hoping an opening comes up for the Kaysville, UT cert in a couple of weeks, one could hope! :)
Call me crazy, but I love to run and do box jumps, so I'm looking forward to Kelly. I just need to get my timing and rhythm right on the wall balls so they don't slow my time. I'll post my time in a bit after I get it done.
Just a question since I'm only a month new, is there a place where the time and strength records are posted for the girls as well as for the CFT? I'd like to challenge myself to Jolie's and Annie's records, It's good to have a goal to shoot for-CFHQ folks are amazing-I'd like to get there soon. It wasn't until crossfit that I stopped telling myself women can't do pullups! Give me 30 days, I'll be there!
Happy cf'ing!

Me: 41yo/M/5'10"/182lbs
Warm up: CFWU + HSPU 3 sets 15 reps per set
WOD: Time Unknown (Big Sad Face)
400 meter run: on Treadmill settings: 8.2/8.3/8.4/8.5/8.6
20" box jumps 30 reps: All sets unbroken.
16lb Wall Ball shots 30 reps: 1st, 4th, 5th sets unbroken, 2nd and 3rd sets 20 then 10 reps.
I was plagued with equipment problems / shortages this morning. My timer broke, and the only thing that my globo gym here has that you can jump onto is a 20" bench, they have made sure that there is absolutely nothing in the entire gym that you can jump up onto, nothing. The heaviest medicine ball is 16lbs so I threw it about 15 feet to a point on the wall to try and make up for the weight. I pushed the pace and my time is probably somewhere in the low 20's.
Kipping Pull Up:
I had an epiphany this morning during the warm ups. I have been trying to get a good kip on the pull ups for a long time and I could never get the rhythm. This morning I realized that full extension at the bottom is not the end of the down portion of the rep, there is a swing of 3 to 5 inches with the shoulder past full extension that begins the transfer of momentum. I used my head and neck to lean into the bottom at full extension and then I pulled my head back to help the transfer to the upswing and I let my legs follow. I immediately saw the conservation of energy and I was able to do 15 in a row quite easily as opposed to my usual method of strict pull ups using total strength to bring me from one rep to another. I hope that I was able to explain this so that others having trouble with the kip can incorporate this little head and shoulder movement to help them feel the drive down at the bottom and feel the transition of momentum back through the swing up to the top.
Have Fun, Train Hard,
Billy

i usually don't have a problem with wall ball shots, but within this workout they just suck the life out of me and make me want to curl up in a corner and cry. for real, it's the only workout i've ever wanted to quit in the middle of. she is my nemesis and i love to hate her. 3-2-1 GO!
p.s. way to be, pat, you are strong like bull! those slapping push ups are ridiculous. i tried one and almost fell on my face. =)
27:38, including time spent finding a new treadmill after I broke the one I was using (twice), then switching to a track when all the treadmills were full. Used a 24" bench and 20# DBs. Nonetheless, I'm not happy; plenty of room for improvement.

I've got a beard and tattoos...how come I'm not as good at CF as Pat and Freddy? I should be superman. Damn, maybe it'll come in time.
lisaq -
thank you, but I so wish I had done better. It's hard to know how a WOD is going to go when you've never done it before, and that one was worse than I imagined. If I hadn't done this next to two guys who finished in 20 minutes (or less - great job, AF Tom and Ken!), I wouldn't have thought it was possible.
I don't know if you remember that workout from last winter with the 5 rounds of 400m run, 21 SDLHP and 21 thrusters, but I thought that was the hardest workout ever. After doing my first Kelly today, I can now say she's the hardest WOD on the block, at least for me!

Thanks for the kipping advice. I've deemed April "kip" month. Yesterday was my first day of doing kips as a warm-up and it did not go well. I feel like my arms are always constricted and I'm not getting a swing. I usually run out of steam after two. I've been doing CF since last July and just do strict pull-ups. I know learning to kip will make a big difference.
I'm going to try out what you said tonight.

Not a good day. I did a modified first round of Kelly and the second 400, then my asthma was too bad for me to continue. I think the beginning of spring is getting to me. Running triggers my asthma more than any other activity, so I coughed for a while to empty my lungs to an acceptable level, then did the following using the equipment in the park:
tabata dips- 3 (I did 10 through 6 rounds then fell apart)
30 KTE sets of 5
30 dead-hang pull-ups (either yesterdays shoulder work or the KTEs made kipping very awkward)
uncounted sit-ups
my grip still sucks, but it is getting better. And I'm still wheezing 2 hours later. Legs tomorrow.

Much better than yesterday. 24 hour fitness provided the ball (albeit 10lb instead of 20) and the 24 inch box. Got a few quizzical looks but no dirty ones.

Had not done this one before, and didn't read any of the comments. I wanted to go in with my own goal without knowing if it was too low. Well, I aimed for 25 minutes and two rounds in realized that was not going to happen as I was just over 5 minutes a round. Round 3 slowed down even more, and I just hit a wall on the thrusters and 4 and 5. That last set of thrusters must have taken me around 4 minutes. This workout took all I had today, next time I better pace myself a bit better.

Dear CrossFitters!
Today I did my first pullup!!! Pullups, actually: first, I did four kipping ones, then six, then two from a deadhang, then four kipping ones on rings, plus four more on the bar. I had been trying for almost two years to get to this point. Thank you for
the examples you set and for this beautiful program! Thanks to the coaches and trainees at Budapest Barbell in Hungary, too!
Love,

Box jump was a little short, and I subbed 30# DB thruster (1 DB gripped on sides) for wall ball.
Not feeling real energetic to begin with, but I did this one at work and it was the most broken up workout ever: Middle of round 3; fuel spill/car fire/psych pt laying in the street, middle of round 5; standard medical aid. No idea what the actual time was for the workout. I didn't get a chance to stop the watch for the medical aid.

First round unbroken; everything after that was broken 20-10. As someone posted earlier, my legs were Jello after the 3rd round but I pushed through. I had to share the box and ball with another guy that was doing the same as me so I kind of offset myself from him so we wouldn't have to do box or wallball at the same time.
No post WOD exercises this time, I was beat...

That was a great article. Thanx for sharing.
Trying to figure out what I am going to use for 20# ball...maybe a small child or a cinder block for thrusters.
Anway, I find it very soothing to be apart of something that seems so strange to those who are outside of this brotherhood (sisterhood). I really enjoy reading all the articles about what we do and how we do it. And although I do my workouts alone, I think knowing that many of you are striving to do your best in the same way I am, it makes me feel the comraderie. I am inspired.
See if I can't knock this one out in under 30 min.

15# ball (like many, heaviset available), 26" box and 500m runs. The target was the concession stand off the track, and the ground next to it is sloped, hence the extra distance and height.
Ok to all of you that talked about quitting (including Freddy...) thanks. I was totally open to that option after about 2 rounds but pushed through and was glad.

Should I use a 20# thruster in each hand?
Which grip do you use with DB thruster, still overhand or is neutral grip cool?

I had to sub my own workout the other day because I was out of action for a week and the gym was full. Look what I came up with:
As many rounds in 20 minutes of:
5 dumbell clean and squat 40#
10 pull ups
15 push ups

This is a bit of a newbie question, but when you folk do the WODs, do you try to pace yourself, so that you're totally out just as you finish, or do you just max on every round and let your round times get really slow as you tire? what makes you stronger and faster?
I hate treadmills.

I'm horrible at wall ball, I'm horrible at box jumps, and sprawls are just a variation of the burpee which I also suck at. LOL! This was only my third time using the 20 pound ball...I'm starting to get a feel for it. Overall, I'm extremely proud of myself for finishing. :)

Notes: CF Chatt course with hill runs. 81 degress in the garage. Full ROM box jumps with full hip extension at the top of the box. Full A2A wallball shots. Gassed hard in the third round. Tried to hold fast and finish it out without puking which was a challenge. Very tough WOD.
No compare time available, first timer with Kelly.

The last time I felt like that was 25+ years ago during the first week of football practice in August in 95 degree heat after doing a 3 mile run and then 10 x 100yd sprints in full pads. Whoever Kelly is, she must be one tough SOB.

30:03 subbed thrusters for wall ball and after first round cut to 20 thrusters/20 box jumps
That was painfull.
24:52
400 meter runs (done in 50m turnarounds in garage parking lot)
18" box jumps on my adjustable pink styrofoam insulation contraption (I need to paint it black)
25# sandbag to 8' ceiling "wallball"
Coasted on the running (2 min per 400 meters) in an attempt to finally, finally be able to do 30 straight 18" box jumps without stopping or stepoffs. Succeeded on round 4! Other rounds went to 20-25 jumps before losing it. The styrofoam works great for me - missed jumps don't mean another broken hand or nearly destroyed kneecaps (I've done both on past box jumps). The extra work is slowly paying off.
Wallball was the usual sufferfest.
The "Kelly" WOD is Coach's way of reminding me to continue working on my weaknesses.
No TMs and downpour, so no run and only 12lb ball available so threw it to about 15ft.

Thanks Coach!
Did yesterdays 1-3-5 workout as Rx'd then I got goated into doing the work out that was shown in yesterdays video (30lb DB x2, Hang squat cleans and Chest slapping pushups)
Did it in 14:45! Very happy about that. One of the most intense "short" workouts I have done to date. I left the carpet in the gym soaked where I did my pushups!
But boy did I pay for it today!!!
As Rx'd: 32:06
In the fourth round I missed our 24" concrete retaining wall that we use for box jumps while thinking about how bad this sucked and skinned up both shins something fierce! I am in sooo much pain right now. I caught both toes on the edge and then slid down my entire shin on both sides. I didn't look at my shins at first, I knew I had skinned them badly. What caught my attention first was the 2 large clumps of hair right there on the wall! OUCH!
Oh well, as Farmer Fran always says: "Live to fight another day"
