A day late here and just got back from the most fantastic Cert I've ever been! Many thanks to CROSSFIT SAN DIEGO, HQ staff: Dr. Mike, Andy S., Dave Castro and Brian MacKenzie, and to mention a few of the CFSD crew and other helping affiliates...CJ, Dani, Susan, Rachel, and many more. Had a blast and learned A LOT ! CF chicks had their first muscle ups this weekend! YEY! Some PR'd on Fran, including myself :) It was awesome meeting everyone from different places. Pat, you'll never cease to amaze me. Your 135# SDHP demo was suweet! I'll email a few pictures in a few days. ET of CFSD, you're one of my new favorite gals. Gotta go back to work at 5:30am tomorrow morning. Good night! I LOVE CROSSFIT!

Hey,
This might sound stupid, but what is the easiest and safest way to do weighted pull ups. I typicall have to jump up to the bar and am concerned about tripping over dropped weights when I dismount.

I also wanted to express my gratitude to CrossFit for helping to get strong in a relatively short amount of time. When I started doing WOD in March I could only do 3 chins and 1 pull up unassisted.

Now I can do more.

Anyway I had such a great time at the cert this weekend with you guys as CFSD. It was crazy to work out with so many hardcore crossfitters all in one place.
Thanks to all the trainers like Andy, Dave Castro, Dr. Mike, Brian, jeff, pat, melissa, trish, CJ, Dani, Nick, and Rachel. Andy and Dave you guys are great teachers and had me laughin my ass off the whole time. Pat you're a beast and a great example. I can't wait to pass up all your times. Dani you were the perfect model for all the demos and made everything look easy.
I learned so much good shit and had a kickass time. Thank you Rachel for being a badass and motivating me to get a pr on my fran(3:54). Anytime ya'll are in Vegas you gotta stop by and do a wod with us. Adam, Mike, Jo, Miranda, Gord, and everyone else at the cert, you guys tore it up. Great job.

33 m 195#

CFWU x3 (no pull-ups)

As rx: 10-25-35-45-50-55-60

This is my first attempt at max weighted pull-ups which explains the light start. I know to start much heavier next time.

5000m row just burn some calories.

Comment #27 - Posted by: dragoon at April 21, 2008 11:10 PM

I don't need more people reminding me how rad it is to have enough money to go to a cert!

Looking forward to setting a new pr though!


Comment #28 - Posted by: JeffChalfant 28/172/5'10'' at April 21, 2008 11:46 PM

I'm doing some Oly stuff tomorrow - but I've got to work this in as an extended warm-up or something. I tried a dead-hang pull-up for the first time since 2002 when I was 196 lbs. Now that I'm 242 down from 282 in December I basically freaked out like crazy when I got 4 in a row. I can kip like 11 PU's.

If I can get one with 40 that'd be just dumb. Stoopid dumb. I love it.

Comment #33 - Posted by: Miles_crossfitwestsussex at April 22, 2008 12:59 AM

Seems like if it is not shoulder work than we do pull ups lately... Is there ever a focus on chest? Seen it twice in 2 months and it was in correlation
with pull ups

I am in my 4th week.....Rather strong on 'isolation' exercises before I started CrossFit, but could only do 1 lousy Pull-up.

I have been doing jumping Pull-Ups..

How long until I can start doing some real pull-ups in my workouts? Anyone have any insight on when my body will get stronger at pull-ups.

BTW, my push-ups, sit-ups, and dips are going through the roof!

Got eyeballs over the bar on first effort at 100. 90 is a new PR. Harder w a bar than w split handled pullup station - less leverage somehow.

A most excellent cycle. Feel refreshed and ready for brutal metcons.

40/m/176cm/70kg

45,50(failed),47.5(~ok),45,45,45,40 (kg)

Lack of focus today, raised loads to quickly. Had trouble with the last couple of centimeters on most reps. Have to use smaller increments next time.

Question: Is the goal of this wod one single max rep or would you rather shoot for a high combined workload of all seven reps? Example:
Would seven reps with 50 kg (for a total of 350kg) be better than say 40,42.5,45,47.5,50,52.5,55 (for a total of only 332.5, but with a higher one rep max)?

Round 1 3:40
Round 2 5:04
Round 3 5:28
Round 4 5:44

Came out the gate hard on round 1. Push ups in round 2 the suck factor kicked in bad! This is the closest that I've come to Pukie in a long time. Great no equipment work out if you can measure out 400m or have access to a track.

CFWUx2 (sub pushups)

25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 (almost), 45

First time doing weighted PUs so wasn't sure what weight to use. The 50 was probably an inch short of getting it, but overall I was happy. Did 10 mins of clean practice afterwards to work on my form.

That wraps up my first week of Crossfit. I am loving the workouts so far. Can't wait to see what week 2 brings.

Comment #56 - Posted by: Chris O at April 22, 2008 4:56 AM

This was a great workout. I love doing pullups but have never actually tested how much weight I can do. I loaded my backpack with a 35 pound plate to start and then hung a dumbbell between my feet to increase increments. Have to admit, I started too low and will have to use more weight next time.

cfwu 10 x 3 (only 5 pull ups for each round)

WOD 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 weighted pullups
37.5#
47.5#
57.5#
62.5#
67.5#
72.5#
77.5#

All dead hang pull ups. no kipping. Afterwards I did some unweighted dead hang pull ups to my chest. Then I got ambitious and did my first ever muscle up on a bar. I used the one arm over technique and did one on my right arm and then managed to get the left arm too. Will have to play around with these a little more.

Happy Crossfitting!

I'm a newby to Crossfit, I just started learning about it (with great excitement) a few days ago. I don't yet own a weight belt, so I had to hold a dumbbell between my feet for this exercise. On the last rep I barely got my eyes above my hands.

Damn. Used to do a lot of weighted pull ups before starting crossfit (started cf early feb). Was hoping to hit 95 lbs, as that was my previous best, and since I hadn't done them in quite some time, I sure figured i wouldn't have gotten stronger. Having beaten my previous PR by 25 lbs felt incredible.

#31, Kevin they don't really have too many straight bench press days in CF. on the "as many rounds as you can in 20 minutes" days of exercice or run 5K, I usually do some old school bench press, (incline/decline) and maybe some arms. or like today when the workout should only take 5 or 10 minutes I do a little lifting.
I know lifting is not the crossfit way, (except for clean/jerk, deadlift) but there really is no down side to good ole bench press once a week, especially when some of the work outs (like today) are not that grueling and are less than 1/2 hour. plenty of time for lifting.

I was wondering if you guys found a best grip for these pull-ups to get the highest weight(meaning chin or pull-up grip and close/wide/shoulder width grip, etc.). suggestions would be appreciated.

As for #31. I ask this question for any one that has kept with Crossfit for more than, oh let's say four weeks - Do any of you have complaints about the lack of chest exercises? I thought not. Plan the work, work the plan.

It is what it is.

#86 soccerman, for these, I like narrow grip chin ups. It's easier for me to get my elbows past the centerline this way, but that's just the way that I do them

Comment #101 - Posted by: Hood at April 22, 2008 7:37 AM

#31 Kevin - the focus is on functional movement, of which the chest plays a smaller role than most of us who grew up bodybuilding like to think. However, every push up day is of course a chest day, then there's Linda, and the BP/PU combo (name escapes me). After beginning kipping pullups, I was surprised to find that pecs play a significant enough role than mine were sore. If you do the CFWU, you do up to 45 ring dips each workout, not a small engagement of the chest inherent in that movement. Look for it, you'll see it.

That said, the name of the game is performance in functional movement. Once you embrace that as the goal vice 'developing parts,' the 'lack of chest work' seems irrelevant.

Just starting with CrossFit. Loving the workouts. Pullups not my stregnth, but wanting to get back into the groove of improving in this excercise. I assumed that the 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 meant 7 sets of 1 rep weighted pullups? I worked out 7 sets of 1 with dead body weight only. I finished them, but was humbled to say the least. Gotta start somewhere. Am I understanding the sets and reps correctly?

Comment #104 - Posted by: GD at April 22, 2008 7:41 AM

#31 Kevin,

Sometime we do a "sharpener" after the WOD. A good one is 100 95# bench presses for time. That gets the chest pumping.

For arms do "top shelf". Do 15 dumbbell curls with each arm starting at 55# and working all the way down to 20# in 5# increments, for time. Use the whole body to do the curl.

We've even made up some exercises.

*Sigh* I love the 7x1 weighted pullup WOD, but I'm currently starting a MEBB cycle so I'm gonna have to miss this one. At least yesterday I did some weighted pullups.

3x5 Weighted pullups @ 40
3x5 Bench @ 150
1x5 Deadlift @ 245

Here's to my next 1RM weighted pullup test hitting 100+ lbs! Current PR of 78.

I'm almost glad that next cycle I'll only do the first day and 1/2 intensity of the third... I have a feeling it's gonna be a rough 3 days after a pure strength cycle! Good luck all!

Want to give some feedback to all the trainers and staff that came to Wasatch CrossFit this weekend! Coach Glassman, Nichole, Eva, Lisa Ray, John Brown of CrossFit Agoge, Todd Whitman, and Chris Speal were all fantastic trainers! I can't put a price on the one on one instruction that I recieved in Kaysville! Excellent and intriguing lessons given by the staff. Damon you have an awesome gym bro, keep up the great work! Hopefully I will get to come to a Level II cert sometime in the near future. If drinking the kool-aid makes you hyper about CrossFit, then going to a cert is like drinking a gallon of the stuff! Everyone that does this is such a great community of people! I could stay at a seminar like that for weeks! Rapid City certainly gives a standing ovation to CrossFit!

I think PR is 40 but not sure.

1st attempt @45 was chin just at the bar not quite over. 2nd attemp failed so I did two more reps @ 35 just for good measure.

Post WOD:

Newbie mistakes...

#1 Failed to do due diligence and learn that pull-ups means kipping pull-ups
#2 Did Cindy for first workout last Wed - 11 rounds w/dead-hang pull-ups
#3 After not doing any pull-ups in years

As a result... lats still destroyed for today's workout, but that's in the past.

Today's results:
10(F), BW, BW, BW, 5 (F), BW, BW, BW

Any tips for accelerating recovery for fried lats? No problems from SP and BS last two days.

Here's the current plan:
- swam 1000 yds thurs and today for active recovery (I have a swimming background from HS and college)
- get help developing CF exercises
- press through

Look forward to help from some of the old salts.

Cheers,
Scott

I will totally do these again. It was a new challenge... a little worried that my doorframe bar will not be able to hold anything more than my weight and 45lbs though (c:

Take as much rest as you need. 3-4 mins sounds pretty good though, for max effort days.

Comment #241 - Posted by: Monty at April 22, 2008 1:31 PM

Me: 41yo/M/5'10"/181lbs

Warm Up: CFWU + HSPU 3 sets 15 reps per set, subbed 5 bar muscle ups per set instead of 15 pull ups and 15 dips / subbed GHD sit Ups instead of regular sit ups

WOD: Weighted Pull Ups: from dead hang to chin over the bar and down slow to dead hang.

25lbs
35lbs
45lbs
55lbs
65lbs
70lbs
75lbs

Cool Down: tried to get more muscle ups, not even close but it was fun to try.

Man, I don't know about anyone else but when I do workouts like the last three WODs, I am totally zapped, my strength is gone and it stays gone. When the WODs are more METCON oriented, after the workout I lay there on the floor in a pile of heaving sweat for about fifteen minutes but after about 8 hours I feel like I could do it again and by the next day I'm ready to rock. Today after the last three WODs I am really ready for a rest and recovery day. Whew, my muscles are toasted. Yeah! crossfit :>)

Also, my lady Lysa is getting really good with her pull ups, she's stoked and so am I.

Today, Lysa and I saw three crossfitters at the gym, Alan, John, and Joe, and about half a dozen people asked us about crossfit :>) As someone on this blog says "Viva La Revolution"!

Have Fun, Train Hard,

#31 & #76

I had this question also and to whoever said "#31, you obviously don't get it", this may be a better line for the question:

I have been doing crossfit regularly for about 6 months.
I have always been the weakest on my chest exercises since before crossfit. I'm not horrible at push-ups (can do about 35-40 in a row because i'm light in weight) but I still to this day struggle with the bodyweight bench when it comes up and I have actually decreased greatly in my ability to do dips (used to be able to do 25-30 in a row and now am at 15-20). I understand the idea of less chest with accordance to its actual usefullness but i'm curious about lifts that extensively use the tricep portion of my arms. I thought that I would add this info as i too have questioned the frequency at which certain workouts occur and see if anyone had any answers. Obviously if i was really concerned i do understand that i can add in some of my own additionally exercises.

Additionally, i have seen gains in every other facet of lifting and stamina that comes up in crossfit.

Thanks,

David J.

I did weighted chins recently so I opted for a stab at Cindy as it's been a looooong time, possibly close to 6 months. I managed to pump out a 'respectable' 21 full rounds plus 7 squats and that pretty much nearly killed me.

My warm-up was, once again, insufficient due to time issues so my first 5 rounds felt like I was trying to get my legs working. I was favouring my injured ankle a great deal and that was tiring both mentally and physically. My push ups slowed me down, although I was thankful for the breaks, but with much better form than in past Cindys so if I could last the first 12 rounds without breaking them up I'd get to my long-standing goal of 25 rounds. All chins and squats unbroken but there were too many pauses between exercises because I sincerely felt like puking from about the 12 minute mark on.

Big thanks to Rob and Trevor for pushing me so hard, I was cursing your names but I am greatful for help. 20 rounds was my goal today and I surpassed that with much room for improvement!

Finished with one set of pull ups 34 (PR)
26 consecutive, the resting hanging for a few secs and 4 and the 4 singles with small breaks hanging.
Had a few more in me but my last PR was 33 and felt like my biceps would burst, so I decided to leave it at that.

Surprised and happy with today’s workout. I had three days of rest traveling and it obviously made a huge difference.

Today was a big day for me. It is my one year anniversary with Crossfit. Sorry I didn't get you anything Coach. During this past year I have noticed some big positive changes to my overall fitness and health including my diet. I have been trying to stick to the Zone as best I can I it has really helped even out my insulin levels.

I have been working toward getting a muscle up over the next little while so that I could do one on my one year mark. I have been training ring dips and ring pull-ups for the past month so that I could get it, and I am happy to report...

****** I DID IT, MY FIRST MUSCLE UP ******

I can't believe it. I am so stoked about it. It just made my day. Anyhow thanks Coach and everyone else involved in Crossfit, it has really made a difference in my life and I appreciate it immensely.

Comment #325 - Posted by: Kevin McClellan at April 22, 2008 4:06 PM

Out of interest, do people consider this WOD an actual workout, or more of a strength test? I know Rippetoe in his book "Starting Strength" views 1RM workouts (outside of competitive meets) as somewhat pointless (he seems to view 5x5 with working weight generally as the way to go, though I always hesitate to put words in Rip's mouth for fear of being torn a new one!).

Cheers.

bleh. horrible day at the gym

weighted pull-ups:

25-30-35-40-45-50-x (quit)

back squats 5x5

95-135x3 (f)

what the hell is going on? 135x5 bs is usually my warm-up! squats felt so funny,was leaning forward (maybe worried about that minor bulged disc that is flaring up) didn't feel much pain though.

worked on muscle up's yesterday and today during weighted pull-ups i got that weird pain in my bicep/elbow/brachiallis (sp?) area that i get every time i try muscle ups. damn it this is so frusterating, quit not one but two workouts. was going to push through but eric lectured me about how my body is telling me something...blah blah blah decided to play it safe.

Yesterday was fubar so made up squats today like a lot of people here. Soccer at lunch first, back to work for a while, watched my daughter's track meet then:

BS: 221, 243, 254, 264 and 275

Weighted Pullups: 53, 71, 88, 100, 105, 110, 110.

Really tired now. My rational side dictates rest tomorrow as I'm betting the next 3 days will be tough ones.

Pretty happy with this since this is the first time I've tried weighted PUs!

*Use Grace load for C&J (boys use 135 lbs, girls 83 lbs).

I subbed 70 lbs for C&J and my form SUCKED HARD as I was already fatigued from this week's cycle of heavy loads + teaching spin class. This is a wicked WOD if you are looking to switch it up one day. Lots of fun, lots of pain :)

Hopefully last day of no upper body. We're heading into a rest week, at the end of which I see the Doc for 30 day assessment on results of cortisone & rest. Found this in the archives:
SUNDAY 050925
For time:
Broad jump 50 yards counting the number of jumps
-Lunge that many times alternating legs, maximizing stride
-Deadlift bodyweight that many reps
-Box Jump 20" box that many reps
-Squat that many reps
Done in my yard, measured off Google Earth
21 broad jumps
Subbed 18" stump because I don't have a 20" box

Trevor W. #285: Happy anniversary and congrats on the MU. Good stuff, eh?

David J. #262: Lots of meat on that bone. At least a part of the answer to your question, and paranthetically to #31 as well, is in the body of your post. "I have seen gains in every other facet..." Therein lies the beauty of Crossfit. This is a general physical preparedness program, designed to build overall fitness. It is what it is. Some people find that the gains that are made in one area of fitness come at the expense of another area on which they once concentrated. Others find that they not only improve in areas of weakness but maintain or even advance in prior areas of strength. YMMV.

Crossfit is a functional fitness program, one in which a conscious effort is made to choose exercises that have a real-world application, or which lead to the development of a base level of fitness that can be applied through the layering of additional movements. We push DOWN (dips) and push UP (shoulder press) way more in life than we push OUT (bench), assuming that we are not offensive linemen. Just think for a moment about the "pushes" you used in your non-gym life today.

I've said it before, and doubtless I will say it again, but IMHO Crossfit is "you vs. you." Every Crossfit program is an individual program. Need/want more dips? Do more dip work. Need(?)/want bigger chesticles or 1RM on bench? Do more bench work. Crossfit the program is designed to produce general fitness; to the extent that it is DESIGNED to produce any specific results that would be on benchmark WOD's such as "Fran", etc. How you use Crossfit to improve some aspect of your performance...well, you get the picture.

Hope that helps.

I can't kip with those weights. The swaying back and forth kills my upward movement. Perhaps I will go get one of these weight vests someday so I can distribute the weight evenly and kip. Regular pullups have so much power right now they feel like kipping.

Wow, first time doing ME days. I usually don't like to do them because they are boring, but now I'm considering them.

I'm listing all three days here since my internet just got reconnected today.

m/21/5'9"/160#

Shoulder press: 95, 105, 110(F), 105, 95
Back squat: 135, 155, 175, 185, 185
Weighted PU: 25, 30, 35, 45, 50, 52.5, 55

I know I could do more (except the shoulder press, horrible)< but since I never did ME days I figured I'd go a little easy.

Well, hell. I shouldn't read the weights listed for some of these other dudes. I got some work to do.
Anyway, first time with weighted pullups, and I really had no idea how much weight I could do. Went 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35. Missed twice at 40. Did two more at 25, missed it a third time, did three without stopping at 15. And that all tells me that, 1) I need a lot more work on my pullups, 2) I should have started at least at 20 pounds, and 3) I'll be kicking this thing's ass at this time next year.
I can't imagine doing any other workout regimen than Crossfit. Ah. After a well-deserved day off tomorrow, I'll be ready for another glass full of that Kool-Aid.

CFWU (including pullups)
I felt like crap today so I took it easy:
45# every rep, first 4 with belt, last 3 without. I kept strict form and held chin over bar for 3-5 seconds each rep and concentrated on slow negative decents.

Comment #482 - Posted by: RRR at April 22, 2008 8:39 PM

Did the back squats yesterday. Had to take it easy. I used BW of 185 for all 5x5. Really focused on form making sure I got full ROM and stayed on my heels. I still need to work on my flexibility. Hamstrings are tight.

Warmed up with 10 normal and 5 with 45#

* Was able to pull my nose above the bar, but not my chin.

Since I was belted up, I followed this up with some weighted dips with 45 pounds. I did two rounds of 7 singles (resting 5 seconds between reps).

I love this stuff, and am having a great time. I have been doing Crossfit for about a month, and people have started to notice a difference and swear that I am not 50.

This is exactly what I had been looking for...functional rather than bodybuilding routines.

I used a weight vest, at approx. 30 lbs, and did 7x one rep of dead hang pull ups.

In reading the comments, it seems as though the goal was to work up to a max (?). Any recommended interval between reps?

This started really hurting my arms, so I went down in weight the last two. Wow, I didn't realize how weak I was at pullups compared to the rest of the Cobra CFG guys. Ugh, I'm going to start doing real pullups instead of kipping from now on during warmups to get better at actual pullups. Katon, you won the bet. Ugh, I bow to you...

CFWU x 3 with 50# assist pullups
Weighted pullups: BW+15, BW+25, BW+30 (PR!), BW+35 (f), BW+35(f), BW+30(f), BW+25

When I started this fitness plan two months ago, I could not do a single pullup. Doing weighted pullups seemed like the least likely thing ever. Incredible.

So, with the belt and everything, I dragged my skinny-ass 175lb frame PLUS 87.5lbs of plate metal up to the bar! This was awesome! Plus, people doing their 'normal workout' had some hilarious comments. My favorite was: "that's insane". Thanks, Coach.

Catching up on some old WODs after some time off due to illness and chaos and such:

30
40
50
60
60
55
55

The chin was just barely making it over the bar on those last few sets, but I was surprised I was able to do as much as I did. The hardest part for me was holding a dumbbell between my legs -- thought my hammies were going to cramp up...ha

Did a little combination work.

Max Weighted pull-ups:

45, 70, 90, 115 (5 singles), 90 x 2 then 90 x 3
after the 90# round started doing single thrusters between pull-ups

Max Single Thrusters:
95, 135, 185, 195 (front squat only, got heavy)

Then did 3 x 3 clean pulls with 225 (focused on trying to jump) and did a couple weighted sets weighted dips (90 x 3, 90 x 5). Threw in 10 KTE for fun.

Done

m/36/187

53-63-79-89-98-100.5(f)-100.5(f)

@100.5# got chin to bar, but not over on both reps.

Odd sequence of weight because used:
53# = 1.5 pood KB, 26# = 3/4 pood KB, 2.5# plate, 10# plate, 45# plate

Hung 1.5 pood KB on strap from waist and then slipped other weights on as needed.

26/m/5'9"/165lbs
CFWU 3x10 (subbed pullups and dips w/ 75kg lat pulldowns & 20 pushups) Gym had no pullup & dip bar. In Pakistan for work at the moment. Tried to look for a local gym instead of the hotel gym but single entry rates are way to expensive. Plus its not that safe to go out alone
Lat Pulldowns (kgs) - 96-103-110-110-117(x)-110-110 Bodyweight (75kgs)
Didn't feel like i workedout enough so i did 10 reps of 95lbs squat clean & jerk after the pulldowns
