Wow, no Fran this week. This will be a blast though.

I LOVE PIZZA!

Done with school, cant wait for this workout, something new!

WOW. totally awesome.

thanks coach

I'm scared.

love the new workouts!! Keep paving the way for fitness baby! I love this stuff!!!!

Wow. That looks like a fun bunch. I want to visit their affiliate. Where is this Island?...

killer saturday workout.

Do they get to surf on those boards after the workout?

Holy heart rate batman! This wod is going to suck. Can't wait.

Thank god its only #95, it ain't heavy but I don't expect it to be easy.

My post has been rejected the past two days, so we'll try a shorter one.

A year and a half ago, before starting CrossFit, I had a lab VO2max test done. I scored an unremarkable 47.9 ml/kg/m. I just did another test, after CrossFitting for 11 months, and I scored 56.7 ml/kg/m. The professor who tested me seemed quite amazed and asked what I had been doing. I replied, "It's called CrossFit..."

Man I wish I had a good place to do these. I'll be breaking stuff if I fail and I'm sure I will. I'll either have to scale or might do KB's instead or something like that.

FYI In case you've been around this long...

Compare to: Sunday 061105

Wonderful, first snatches, hoorah.

Need to go to class again, very uncomfortable with form today. I hope my back feels not awful tomorrow.

Crossfit on a beach....now that's paradise!

I did Angie instead of squats last cycle... so I did Squats instead of Angie this cycle. Let me recall: Back Squats, DL, now Hang Power Snatches and JOGGING?!?!? What are you guys doing to me?! I don't know what it is, but I LOVE this stuff!

So fun story today, I dropped a 45# plate on my big toe. It's definitely broken, but I'm not going to the ER, don't have the time.

Has anyone hear worked through an injury like this before? Or should I just take it easy?

Pull your pants up!!!!

Adam - >> Has anyone hear worked through an injury like this before? Or should I just take it easy? <<

I've broken more toes than I care to discuss. I stopped seeing doctors about them after the first two docs just taped the broken toe next to its neighbor. Now I do that, wear a shoe with a slightly stiffer sole for a few days, and be *really* careful.

@ # 19

The big toe is incredibly important to walking.

Don't be dumb.

Not trying to be a nanny boo-boo here but great toe fractures need more attention than the other toes. I had to have surgery on mine and was in a boot for six weeks, only after amputation was considered (and ruled out)after it was crushed with weight.

# 19

Ouch, I know how that feels, working through that pain if it is actually broken is going to be a real problem, walking pains with a broken big toe, I couldnt imagine doing these workouts with a broken big toe. If it kills your to work out, then I would defiently get it looked out, you might have to take some time off to let it heal.

As for the power snatches, yes I am glad it is on #95. I actually did some pratice on snatch the other day so I wont be to far behind.

Good point from Mel re: big toe vs. others. I've broken each big toe once, but never so badly that amputation was even remotely a consideration.
------------------------------------------

re: tomorrow's WOD. First time for Hang Power Snatch for me. Looking forward to it. Here's to hoping I don't drop the bar on my foot. :-)

Going to miss out on this one, group WOD @ CF Snohomish tomorrow morning @ 0900 hours PVT! Yarch!

Thanks Mark. Mike, and Mel (that would have been fun to say in person)
I'm going to try Mark's method tomorrow and if it hurts bad enough I guess I will have to take some time off (sigh, followed by outrageous number of swears) and see the doctor. Although a pinkie falling off didn't stop Ronnie Lott from playing football, but then I guess he was also getting paid.

#13 VO2 guy-
That is awesome. I am a nurse and I work with a respiratory therapist who also Crossfits. He wants to do some studies like that with the new clients at our gym. We would like to get an initial test and then test them again a few months down the road. It will be very interesting. I'll keep you posted.

Gnat

Looks good. Have not done snatches since that 75x75# power snatches for time WOD. What's 20 more #s after all? Probably will sub a row for the run because of the facilities available.

#27 Gnat,

Cool, the more information the better. I described to the professor some of the CrossFit workouts like Fran, Helen, Cindy, and Murph. Several times he commented, "But that sounds like it's anaerobic." I tried to stress that it's also plenty aerobic. I also mentioned the tabata protocol and he seemed familiar with that. He wants me to get a heart rate monitor that can dump all the information to a computer so he can understand what the workouts are doing to my system. I said I would do it if he can get me a monitor. I'm also interested to see what my heart rate is doing and how that affects some of these exercise physiologists' pet theories about optimal exercise.

she is so good at those snatches!!!

I PASSED!!

If you don't workout out of your garage and can't run down your block and back but workout in a gym, try using a treadmill. I know it will be tough going from the weight room to the cardio room in your gym and then back to the weight room for the next round of snatches but it's better than skipping the WOD. Just try and improvise the best you can.

#29 - VO2 GUY,

I have worked with Polar watches for about 8 years now. Your prof has several models from Polar to choose from that download to a PC (Macs need third-party software to receive data) and the newer ones are nice but some are too delicate (the RS400 & RS800) for the WODs in Crossfit, yet the more durable ones (the S625x & S725x) are a little large on the wrist. The S610i is no longer made, but if you can get your hands on one it is plenty durable and downloads the heart rate and calorie data via infrared to a PC with free software that should come with the watch. The RS400 is its replacement, but the wriststrap is known to tear off with HEAVY resistance applied to the strap. (like what your wrist will go through with the 95# cleans)

If you or your prof have any questions, give me a holler...I have personally used 11 different Polar heart monitors extensively in the past 8 years with my clients.

Sheesh. After ripping the skin off my left hand with Angie, the deadlifts are going to suck this morning (running one day behind due to schedule)...then this workout. Maybe I will just do a local block of my entire hand...

There are injuries and then there are fractures, get an x-ray done and find out what u got. Prev posts are correct, there are plenty dig I fx's that need surgery, for example those who engage the joint. On the upside you don't need to worry bout amputation, unless your toe looks like a beef patty...

Good luck!!

Amedreas >>>> Ameliea Island is in Northern Fl. just between Jacksonville and Savana, GA. You pretty much have to go through Jacksonville to get to it, though cause there are only like 2 bridges on and off the island. The place is very pretty, and small enough that a good percentage of the houses are right on the beach, or close enough to walk.

I spent 2 summers there with my Mom, and am quite surprised they have enough people to support an Affiliate, honestly.

That's weird. I was just checking out the Ameila Island CF website yesterday. Planning a fam vacation and of course it would be sweet to go somewhere that has an affiliate. OHS with surfboards? I'm there.

I want to give thanks to dragoon for his religious postings of his scores. I run about 3 days behind the current WOD because where I am stationed we tend to have comms blackouts occasionally and being 3 days behind gives me the opportunity to do the correct WODs without violating the blackout. Plus I like to see what others are accomplishing so I can gauge what I am going to do/where I am at in relation to someone of like size, gender and age. 32/m/6'/193# I wouldn't mind posting my scores, but being 3 days behind that would seem a little silly. btw, dragoon's scores are pretty even with mine.

Only snatched a few times before, never hang snatches. "Hang power snatch" sounded straightforward enough, but I found it SO HARD to execute!

5 rounds:
hang power snatch
Run 400m (2:12, 2:25, 2:23, 2:22, 2:15)

1st rd: struggled through 15 hang power snatches at 32lb. (should have lowered the weight.)

2-5 rounds: subbed hang power cleans at 32lb. much faster, much (too much) easier

21:11

after doing gobs of hang power cleans, I went back to work the hang snatch a little more and found it MUCH easier after doing all those hang cleans. I need to work this move with the PVC.

Robert Sutherland -

Congratulations! A five-hour hands-on test can't possibly be as difficult as Fran, right? ;)

No straight bar at my apartment complex gym ... wonder if subbing 30# dumbbells in each hand is roughly equivalent?

This was fun! Took my weights in the boot down to a grass running track. Technique ordinary, poor shoulder flexibility so scaled weight to 88lbs.

22:49

More practice will see big improvements in Snatch reps. CrossFit is such an awesome way to workout!

Also, hand grip barely made it to the end of the snatch.

@VO2 Guy

Back in 1999 I did VO2 testing bracketing a 12 week period of training. I had comparable test info from 1989 that showed a VO2 max of 49 on the treadmill and 53 on the Tunturi bike, but after 10 years, 2 kids and a period of relative inactivity my max had dropped below 40.

During the 12 week period I did the Body For Life training program which alternated high-intensity lifting days (no more than 40 minutes total, sets with no more than 1 minute rest) with running interval days (no more than 20 minutes of fartlek training).

My VO2 max went up 21% after 12 weeks despite the fact that none of the work that I did during that period could be considered strictly aerobic in nature, putting my then 35 year-old body aerobically back to where it had been 10 years earlier when I was rooming and training with bicycle racers and the lifting had made me stronger with squats and bench and such than I had ever been before.

Now, almost 9 years after that I am convinced that Crossfit represents an even more effective and complete path to overall functional fitness.

Thanks for the information. I had looked on the polar website at information on the various models, but didn't find it very enlightening. Your comparison is just what I need.

#68 bcunningham,

I know a university PE professor who has ready access to the equipment for his classes and research. That's my connection. I think an educational institution or possibly a sports medicine clinic would be the most likely places to go. The only other thing you need is to get them interested. Given CrossFit's effectiveness, that shouldn't be too hard.

#94 Daner,

Your results are interesting. It seems to suggest that my VO2 probably rose quickly and then levelled off. I should be able to do another test in a month or two. We'll see if there is any improvement. I definitely agree with your belief that CrossFit is more effective. My tests showed something else that I think reinforces this.

In my first test, when I reached my VO2max, my respiratory exchange ratio was 1.05 (where greater than 1 means you are anaerobic). In the second test, at VO2max my RER was 1.20, which was significant because the professor said that typically people don't go above 1.15. I'm not an exercise physiologist, but this seems to be an indicator of CrossFit's effectiveness at improving anaerobic capacity as well.

A little too heavy I think. I have been thinking about the pathway analysis that Apolloswabbie described for scaling workouts a few days ago and I think I finally understand it. I was down to twos and threes of the HPS by the end which would make it the phosphagen pathway (under 10s) doing the work. The wod is designed for the glycolytic pathway (between 10s and 90s) so by going too heavy I was working the wrong pathway. Next time I'll pick a weight that I can do at least five of in a row (taking significantly longer than 10s) even when fatigued. Someone please correct me if I have that wrong.

I hate snatches!

Woke up this morning and the toe was bruised and more swollen than last night. I tapped it up and tested running in my apartment. It didn't hurt that bad, but i was running on the base of my foot. I thought ok I can run, slowly, but something is better than nothing. Then I tried a light 25lbs dumbbell snatch. Ouch! It looks like I won't be able to do most of the lifts for a while, except I guess I can still do shoulder press and bench, the two lifts I suck at.
What a bad week my hard drive crashed, my phone died, and now this. Plus finals!
Oh well time to suck it up and quit complaining! Besides this just means I get to get better at walking on my hands!

also n\pretty new to snatches, so scaled down to 75#

Could have done more # on the snatch... next time.
"Explosive lifting for sports" by harvey newton is a great read for anyone new to CF (in my rookie opinion)

This is the end of my first week of CrossFit. I've come through the other workouts with my dignity pretty much in tact, but this one definitely didn't go as planned. Unfortunately, my workout was far from the Rx. I think I did a hang power clean/press instead of a hang power snatch. I couldn't manage 95 lbs so I used 65 lbs. Maybe if I'd understood the technique better I could've managed more weight. I did three sets total, with three 400m runs in between. It took me about 22 minutes, and then I ran out of time. I was sweatin bullets and lovin the challenge, but unfortunately my time was up. That oughta teach me to leave more time for my workouts until I'm really fit!

That is so awesome. We are in Boca Raton, FL. LOVE the beach idea. Also what is the artist and song your video is playing with? Very cool.

First Crossfit work out.....Very Nice. Did 4 reps instead of 5. I think I might have died being it is my first. Finished in 17:45

Great Workout....!!!!!

Wanted to get under 20 min, SUCCESS

I expected that the midline stabilization required of the snatch would kill my abs as I'm still recovering from Angie. Since abs didn't become a weakness during this WOD, I guess situps and snatchs work different parts of the core.

wow, never snatched before so had to work on form with pvc alot after my wu. decided not to do any more than the 45# bar as i have never done 1 snatch in my life! Definitley felt light when i got one with good form, but otherwise form was not so good and made the lift inefficient and harder that it should have been for me.

was also doing out side in my yard, not the best place for such a technical lift.

running could have been faster, i'm actually slower outside than on a treadmill?!

#116 - Jamie,

Sounds like you exhausted your QLs yesterday (along with most every other muscle in your body) while doing the deadlifts. Take a tennis ball or massage ball and lie down with the ball under your back between your hips and ribs. Take a deep breath and lean into the ball as you exhale. Repeat 5-10 times, then do other side. This region of your body is where the quadratus lumborum muscles are located, and they are absolutely critical to stabilizing the lower back to sit up and/or walk. Good luck, life sucks with a sore back!

Wish I could say I was sandbagging it, but I wasn't... I even gamed my time by doing the snatches first, run second.

This was exactly the workout I needed, to drill my snatch technique, it just now sunk into my thick head that it's a JUMP and the hang snatch is all about jumping the bar and not using the arms at all. (Just got to the power clean chapter in Starting Strength...) Now I really appreciate the hang snatches and hang cleans for training the jump.

17:41 just short on the last run leg. Here is one for all you Crossfit Fire Nazis. Finishing up that last leg on the treadmill at work, feeling triumphant but wiped, and the bell goes off. Fortunately not much of a fire at all, but is was on the fourth floor, and it ended up we had a sprinkler to plug and a fair amount of water to sweep. 3..2..1..FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENTS! Thanks Coach.

OK,so there I was, a nice sunny day. I brought my barbell and bumpers to the track for the WOD. A well-maintained barbell I might add - the bushings are nicely greased so they spin easily. I was all alone. At the end of round 2, a family shows up - mom and dad are walking and 5 year old boy and 4 year old sister are pedalling their bikes around the track. I pass them running. They see me stop at the barbell and do the hang power snatches. Half way around on the next lap I see the kids made a bee-line for my barbell. Young boy has got a nice deadlift set on it. No worries.
Well, no worries until the little boy with sister tagging along is almost in a full sprint pushing my nicely greased barbell down the track. He was moving. I'm thinking "Hey! Ya little...!" Mom and dad are at the other side of the track yelling at son. He managed to do a u-turn with it and got it close to where I placed it. When I arrive of course I can't breathe and can't say much except, "don't touch."
Mom and dad without a word departed rather quickly with kids in tow.
Too funny...

30 MU's for time today in 11:35. This is the first time I've completed all reps with the rings turned out at the bottom. There was some issues with me getting full extension in my shoulders during the middle reps but around rep 20 I started pushing my head through my shoulders when the rings were turned out and I actually found the reps were easier! Not a great time but a good learning day and the form has come a looooooong way.

Nice vdeo, sure wish I was in Florida on the beach with you guys!!!! LOOKS LIKE TOO MUCH FUN!

That was a tough one! First time doing snatches with a bar (only one arm d-bell prior) but worked great. After a 20 min break I did a 500m row beating my time by just under 2 sec. 1:31.9.

I absolutely love crossfit and tell people about it everyday, esp at work (Sheriff's Deputy in WA state). I think people are getting sick of hearing about it! I'll keep doing it untill they try it tho.

WOD: 25:35 (I think, I have to verify the time with Michelle and Nick)

95lb Hang Power Snatch: I took it from the rack and I broke them into 3 sets of 5 on every round.

400 meter run: I ran from the inside of the gym around a 300 meter track and back into the gym. I have been told that it is 400 meters but I have not measured it yet.

Today's workout was a real treat. When I got to the gym, Nick and his lady Michelle were there. Nick is just a little faster and a little stronger than I am and our work out times and points are always very close. Nick and I decided to work out together and there was literally a sprint to the finish with one second difference between our times, wow, I was smoked!

I didn't notice but Michelle pointed out that on rounds three, four and five I was landing with my left foot about 12 inches behind my right foot. I did not notice this but it may have helped me since it was a bit of a split. Also, on about 50 percent of the hang power snatches I landed with my arms not at full extension and I had to do a shoulder press to lock out.

All in all, a very cool workout that epitomized the phrase "it doesn't have to be fun to be fun!"

Thanks Nick and Michelle :>) Lysa, you were missed my love, next time maybe all of us can workout together.

This was a rough day for me and I dont know why. I scaled the weight down to #75 because my form sucks on snatches. On the 5th round of snatches I felt my hand "squish" around the bar. Yep, a rip. Not in the normal place though. It was below my little finger, on the meaty part of the hand. I cant figure out why I ripped there. Was it because my grip was too wide? Anyway, I stopped there, I didnt want to bleed all over the bar. My time was 20.05 when I stopped, but I cant count it because I did not complete teh workout. Better luck tomorrow.

Pre-WOD practiced just jumping with the loaded bar without bending the arms to focus on generating power with the hips. This got me primed and I reckon I did better in the WOD than I have ever done before.

Heels still feeling a little light but getting better and better especially when I stopped expecting to jump it overhead with straight legs. As soon as I resigned myself to dropping a little to catch it things went much better.

A little more later

One of my first times doing snatches, and had a workout partner, side by side, well I followed a little. This was brutal, max HR was 187 and aver., was 172. . felt like crap for a while after. Did the snatches in garage and the run down the street. Would no9t have finished this quick without someone else to push me like that. It was awesome but sucked.

My knee started to really hurt when doing squats or the snatch, so I had to replace the snatch with push press. I only did 85 pounds b/c Katon and I were doing the same bar, and didn't want to have to change weights. So I did 85 pound push press 15 times, and still did the running
