Nice, thanks for the early post, I can do this one this afternoon!

Last time I did this I couldn't walk right for 5 days... enjoy!

Nice. Can't wait to do this one right before I give a presentation. Hope I don't throw up.

Happy birthday Tim of CrossFit Black Diamond. For Tim's 32nd birthday, he is going to attempt 32 runs through the Marine Corps obstacle course. Early mid-life crisis...maybe. Good Luck Devil.

Looks good. Anything that will crush my shoulders is good as that is where I am weakest.

Comment #12 - Posted by: clemson rob at April 29, 2008 7:57 PM

Starts as Fran lite
ends rough

Looking forward to this one, any suggestions on workouts prior to my first Cert? Debating going 1/2 or 3/4 but I may just go full and take the two days off prior to the weekend.

Comment #13 - Posted by: angelo sub250finally at April 29, 2008 8:00 PM

This one looks like fun.

On a very serious note: I remember reading someone's comment about a zone-friendly beer (Shiner Bock). I just happened to move away from Texas, so I'm not sure I can purchase it anymore. Does anyone else have insight into other zone-friendly beers? Usually I just drink beer and don't care, but I figure if there's a tasty beer that's not as bad for you, why not have the best of both worlds?

Comment #14 - Posted by: Brett 24m/6'4" 200 at April 29, 2008 8:01 PM

Looking forward to this one.. Just hope my shoulders will hold up long enough to get a good number of rounds in!!

Comment #15 - Posted by: Mike B at April 29, 2008 8:03 PM

Brett, Comment 15: Zone Friendly Beer?

Its all just carbs no matter which one you choose... I don't know of any beer that would be a multiple of 1.5g of Fat, 7g of protein and 9g of Carbs.

Personally, when I drink with a meal, like tonight for example, my meal consisted of 5oz of Salmon (5 blocks of protein and 2.5 blocks of fat), 8 almonds (about 2.5 blocks of fat and 18oz of red wine (about 5 blocks of carbs) the totals work out to be about 5 blocks of protein, fat and carbs. That is the only way that I know to make alcohol zone friendly. :>)

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

Comment #16 - Posted by: Billy at April 29, 2008 8:21 PM

I can't wait to get to Cali and start working out regularly again. I feel like my training has really fallen off big time. I wonder which affiliates follow the main site... if any of them do.

I'm still not packed. I'm considering following iin Spider Chicks footsteps and just packing some bikinis and CF t-shirts. :) My comment didn't get approved on the affiliate blog so I'll say it again here..

Spidey is one of the coolest, smartest, most interesting, funniest, motivating and strongest women I've ever met in my whole life. I tell people about her all the time. I'm proud to know her.

I drink Guinness Extra Stout b/c I have read and keep hearing that it is the best "real" beer in regards to nutrition and health. Check out the below facts. Notice the Guinness is the Extra Stout and is measured in Pints. I buy the 12oz bottles so do the math if you want to figure out the lower values.

Let me be the first in welcoming Allison to SoCal!

#14 - I like the "fran lite" comment. so true

why is it that the lighter weights seem to kick butt more than heavier weights?

Are all the videos filmed during the certs?

Comment #24 - Posted by: Raul_in_Valencia at April 29, 2008 8:46 PM

Awesome...I was kind of hoping we'd kill our legs a little more. And I was...um...missing pullups. Nice way to end the cycle.

Comment #27 - Posted by: Shana A. in ATL at April 29, 2008 8:53 PM

There's good news and bad news to this one.
Good news - light thrusters mean quicker time!
Bad news - quick thrusters mean more rounds -> more rounds means more pull-ups.

Thank you, CrossFit, for the bittersweet nectar of life.

Well if Speal couldn't walk right for 5 days after doing this, I should be walking good sometime in the middle of May again.

Comment #42 - Posted by: dragoon at April 29, 2008 11:13 PM

Still resting the brachialis from my last muscle up bonanza, so no pull ups. subbed this one with hand stand push ups (really not smart) so...
10 rounds was the final tally. Have a good day.

Comment #43 - Posted by: Angel at April 29, 2008 11:18 PM

question...

i can do this as rx - with some breaks in the PUs. I did the 7x1 thrusters at 85#. If I do it as rx I can probably do 8-9 rounds - If I scale it down and do 55# thrusters and pullups on the gravitron I can probably do close to 20 rounds...

so it is better to do more rounds and be totally winded or less rounds and treat it as a heavy strength workout?

Comment #44 - Posted by: Beth at April 29, 2008 11:34 PM

Comment #45 - Posted by: scfd_9607 at April 29, 2008 11:44 PM

Speal :

You couldn't walk right for 5 days after this one. Man I knew this looked vicious !

How many rounds did you make ? ^^

Comment #48 - Posted by: Richard Vanmeerbeek at April 30, 2008 12:26 AM

#46 - Since you can do the weight as rx, do it. Don't scale it down, even though it limits you to 8-9 rounds. Next time then shoot for more rounds. Best of luck!

Comment #49 - Posted by: MarkW at April 30, 2008 12:32 AM

Oh, lord...this is going to be bad. I'm already nervous. I'm sure it looks to easy to some of you, but thrusters for 20mins at any weight is going to be taxing.

Did this WOD within an hour after running yesterdays 5k in 22:19 (my best time this year so far). This WOD felt more taxing and demanded much heavier breathing compared to the run, with the pullups being the easy part.

Rds 1&2, sub 1 minute, feeling pretty sweet. Rds 3-6 slowing down, starting to suck wind, still driving on. 7-12 a lot of grunting and growling. Collapsed on the floor at 18:40. Great workout. Hope to do it again in a couple of weeks. Will hit 14 then.

3rd day doing CF - managed to eke out 14 rounds a la "buttercup." Can't do one regular pull-up yet, so I improvised with a chest-high bar on the power rack. I thought you guys were kidding about the whole puking thing...the only other time I've felt like puking after a workout was after I ran my first marathon. I heart CF!! :D

Brand new to XFit. Did the 5k yesterday. Definitely out of shape. Had a question to whoever might answer. My family has a history of weak backs. I know it's against XFit philosophy, but would it be smart to do specific muscle workouts after the WOD to help strengthen these muscles up?

Well, that's it, I'm officially out of excuses. Installed the home gym last night. Powertec power cage (with pulldown attachment so the GF can do her workouts.) so I don't need a spotter. (Just a huge crash if I drop something)

400lbs of rubberized grip plates (I noticed I can use the plates for doing kb swings too - bonus) 500lb bar (bench presses, oly, etc) and a 1000lb bar (deads/squats)

No more excuses... :)

For the first 8 rounds, I had 55 lbs on the bar. The 10s and 5s look pretty much the same at my gym at 6 am.

12 rounds and 6 thrusters. With a big asterisk.

At least all the pull-ups were unbroken.

#65 - I had many problems with my back before starting CrossFit - probably one of the best parts of CF is that it does so much to incorporate core strength that you are unlikely to need to do those supplementary workouts.

Comment #78 - Posted by: Elise at April 30, 2008 5:12 AM

6 rounds as rx'd.

No problems w/ the thrusters but after the second round I had to break up my pull ups. They are getting better though.

Comment #81 - Posted by: Cy at April 30, 2008 5:19 AM

CF WOD #6 Two cycles down!

I am always amazed how wiped I am from runs(yesterday's 5k).

Altered the W/U 3x12 of
OH Broom Squats, Sit-Ups, Good Mornings, Push-Ups on P/U Handles, and 70# Bent Over Row.

Stretched with emphasis on shoulders, back and hams.

WOD - 9 rounds
70# Thrusters
3 rounds kipping P/U full body weight
3 rounds with one leg resting on a chair (negatives down)
3 rounds with two legs resting on a chair (negatives down)
Alternated the last six p/u rounds O/H pull-ups and chin-ups

I hope that makes sense. I can't do 90 kipping p/u yet, so I scale them down by taking a bit of body weight off. I do this by resting a leg (or two) on a chair as I tire. I try not to use it to help with the p/u.

Finished with a head to toe stretch routine.

Have a great workout everyone!

- thursters, no problem.
- pullups, turned to negatives, turned to 120 and 100 lb pulldowns.

One positive note is that kippings are starting to slowly show themselves ever-o-slightly

I really shouldn't do this wod, I should stay away from pullups until my elbows heal - or are at least pain-free.

I may sub the pullups by alternating 10 hspus and 10 ring-dips.

Comment #90 - Posted by: Ryan N at April 30, 2008 5:45 AM

#64 Haught,

It's not against CrossFit philosophy to do extra exercises, a lot of CFers do exercises in addition to the WOD for their sports or to work on specific muscles. The other exercises that would be against CrossFit philosophy would be an hour of slow bicep curls while staring at yourself in the mirror. I had a pretty weak back coming into Crossfit, and I made sure to do back extensions or equivalents every day as part of my warmup/cooldown. I went from not being able to finish Michael to getting a decent time on it a month later.

Comment #91 - Posted by: Richard at April 30, 2008 5:45 AM

10 rounds
replaced bar thrusters with barbells thruster 25lbs on each hand.

Pullups: after 6th set, had to break down repetions:
did 5, 10 sec later - another 5.

Comment #92 - Posted by: Yuriy at April 30, 2008 5:46 AM

#64, I've had periodic back pain due to my height, and the fact that my posture is sometimes bad (also caused by things never being designed for someone my height). I've found that since I started a serious lifting regimen that included squats and deadlifts, my back pain subsided significantly. Since starting CrossFit, it is almost entirely gone. I'd suggest sticking with the program for a month or two, and see how you feel.

WOD
Got in 11 rounds, though I still can't get a good kip going. So, a lot of the pullups were jumping, but the thrusters were good. Felt pretty strong on those even at the end.

This is my first time posting, but I felt the need to comment on question #64. I have been lifting weights for years and had been doing all of the isolation exercises. Then last year I herniated a disk in my back. I started doing the WOD's concentrating on correct form, and presto, six months later I am completly healed. When all the doctors could recomend was taking it easy. Since then not only am I healthier but stronger(over 100lb. improvment in some lifts).

was really looking forward to this after seeing the post last night. about 2 rounds in I was rethinking that. PUs were slowing me down big time. Finished the 8th round at 18:30, and thought about stopping there, but knew I wouldn't be happy with myself. So back under the bar I went. Glad I did.

The gym didn't have a 65# barbell, so I used the 70 pounder. Got 8 rounds in. Felt like puking after rnd 7, and still don't feel right. I love it!!

I, like others here, have low back issues (broken L5). I've been told not to lift, not to run, basically to just give up. When I started CF I was afraid to DL more than 135#. I DL'd 365# the other day. I ran a 5k in 22:02, yesterday. My back is no worse for the wear. The core strength developed through CF I believe is clutch and the significant difference from isolation exercises. Couple this with the functionality of everything we do and you truly don't need to perform isolation exercises. Best to be cognizant of a potential risk, focus on form and train intelligently. You'll be fine. Enjoy.

The "Zone Friendly Beer" discussion is funny to me.

You know your a crossfitter when you try to include it in your beer drinking.

Is drinking a 12 pack of Budweiser zone friendly??

This is my first day at attempting the WOD. A instructor from a seminar I took for work turned me onto this site. I'm very excited because I never seem to have a plan when I work out.

Does anyone have any advise? I've never been a hardcore lifter.

I find this weird - As part of Angie I did 100 pullups in 17:28. Tonight I did 100 pullups AND a 100 Thrusters in 20 mins.

I doubt very much whether I wold be able to do 100 thrusters in 2:30 mins.

I did finish the 12th round through, after stopping my watch I gutted out two more pull ups, but it doesn't count since it was around 20:05. I just couldn't get going this morning...i dreaded it every time I walked up to the pull up bar. Was not feelin' it for some reason.

Is it okay to use a 65lb barbell instead of the 45lb bar w/ a 10 on each side? Our gym's pretty crowded and it'd be nice to steal the barbell for a while to bring near the pullup area.

Are the designer shades and Huge ring really necessary? Anyway, I want to thank everyone that was a part of the Baltimore certification. CrossFit Baltimore is one of the most beautiful facilities I have ever seen. I really want to thank all the trainers Robb, John, Jeff, Andrew, Pat, Tony, Jamie, Maggie. Topaz, Rob #2 and anyone I may have forgotten.

I specifically want to thank john for pulling me out in the middle of the group for my air squats and OHS and critiquing my form because now I feel my squat is almost flawless. I think it looks great. Thanks hopefully I can come to CrossFit Boston someday and train with you guys.

Thanks again , I can't wait for my next cert.

The Guinness Draught in bottles is actually 11.2 oz., so you even get less cals and carbs than what is listed if it is truely based on a 12 oz. serving. I only know this because I used some Guinness bottles for my homebrew and realized they were not holding as much, so I looked on a full bottle just a couple days ago.

Yesterday, a friend and I decided to play around with hill sprints (instead of the 5k) - and I am totally feeling those today. That's what I get for straying from the daily WOD!

Today's work was much more difficult than I anticipated! I got the bulk of my rounds in before the first 10 minutes was over, and I probably spent the last 10 minutes working on just 3 or 4 rounds. But, I do have to say that now I'm not so afraid of Fran. If I can do Fran 'light' for 20 minutes, I'm not going to let myself get psyched out by 5 minutes of regular Fran! ;)

I was the same way...I think I had 10 rounds in the first 10 minutes, then I just died out.


PS...I like the picture!

Comment #211 - Posted by: MikeG_CFATL at April 30, 2008 9:32 AM

Going to throw this one out there knowing it's a long shot, and could have been some fluke.

Has anyone tweaked their shoulder doing Angie? I got through the pull ups and then started to fly through the push ups and about halfway through I had a sharp pain in the front of my shoulder. I continued through the wod in some pain, but not enough to make me quit.

To give you a little background; my other shoulder I almost loss the use of and it ended my college hockey career, but hasn’t been an issue since I started crossfit a year ago. With this I'm a little concerned. Luckily my buddy who I train with has made sure I rest it. I’m pretty stubborn.

Any thoughts?
I know I should just take a few days and off rest it. but like I said I’m stubborn and addicted to crossfit.

Lost count, but I think it was 8. Apparently a lack of O2 to the brain.

Getting the kip. Still working the rhythm. The thrusters were easy, up until they started kicking my butt.

Comment #218 - Posted by: ScottE at April 30, 2008 9:42 AM

Hey #195--Greg H--I watched the video! My excuse is I used to row.
Looked like the guy on the erg was also pausing a bit at the finish, like he tensed his elbows before he came back up slides, knicking off a bit of his momentum.

I used to tell the novices that rowing is analog, not digital. It's one smooth, continuous motion from the start to the finish of the entire piece.

For the WOD, I got 11 rounds. The pullups are killing me every time.

As our Crossfit friends in Coronado say, my training partner and I felt a bit "froggy" yesterday and pimped the 5K a bit: 1mi 25 pullups 25 dips 12 burpees X 4 rds. 46:10. That hurt but looking for more pain today! This wod should not dissappoint.

Welcome aboard, you won't regret the plunge into Crossfit. My advice would be to seriously evaluate your level of fitness and ease into the wod's. Learn form and function first and leave the intensity that you see these elite athletes performing to be developed over time. There is no shame in scaling any workout to your level as Crossfit can be beneficial to all comers regardless of fitness level or limitations. If you are new to Olympic lifts, find a trainer and learn to perform them correctly! Practice with PVC pipe and get the timing and muscle memory before adding weight. And if you have the time and resouces take a level 1 cert it will be well worth the time and money. This website has everything you need to be an elite Crossfitter, read all the FAQ's, articles, watch the demo's and subscribe to the CF Journal. Do all that for sure, but remember that personal instruction, practice, and common sense are the most prudent way to excel in this. I am not a trainer or elite athlete, just a practicing physician who recognizes the wisdom and effectiveness of this program, take my words for what they're worth.

I really liked the way that mixing in the pullups with the thrrusters made me really work on my hip drive to save my arms and shoulders for the pullups. All pullups were unbroken, wish I could say the same for the thrusters. I am beginning a real love-hate thing for thrusters.

I thought the pull-ups were going to kill me, since I still do jumping pull-ups, and they're hard for me (ectomorph), but it turned out that they were the easier of the two. After two hard rounds of the thrusters, I got the hang of really using my legs, and they became VERY easy. Pukey was stalking me for an hour afterwards.

This morning, about 8 minutes/6 rounds into "Light Fran" or "Other Fran" or "Jan" or whatever we're calling today's WOD, I got the worst headache that went from my left temple to my upper back, so I had to stop. So, I have no results to post other than that I finally weighed myself at the gym at work today (no scale in the new garage gym) and was pleasantly surprised to find that I've lost 6 pounds from the last time I weighed myself, probably about 5 weeks ago.

Crossfit is awesome. How bout some more certs on the east coast so I can open an affiliate sometime soon?

Comment #280 - Posted by: OCS bound at April 30, 2008 11:21 AM

#94 Cathy,

I teach trainers and clients about self myofascial compression techniques (basically, rolling with foam rollers) to alleviate problems like yours. Typically when your knees start to hurt after you begin an athletic event it means that your quads have residual tension from contractile knots and the rest of the muscle is beginning to lock up from fatigue. This excessively tight muscle (or muscles) places a lot of stress on the attachments, such as the knees. If you get a good massage, stretch regularly (I recommend the Wall Lunge, which I have featured at www.networkfitness.com/StretchesandExercises), and roll out those thighs just before and just after your WODs, you'll notice less and less knee discomfort. This combination of hands-on help and self-help will relax your tight thighs, make your knees feel better, and then you can complete your WODs!

If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line. Good luck!

2 rounds were extremely ugly to the point I thought about not counting them, but I did put the weight over my head therefore it is a thruster so I take credit.

I think Billy was laughing at me too.

4 rounds as RXd. Then 10 pu with 52lb assist.

Today makes exactly one month doing CrossFit for me. Doing 4 rounds without the gravitron and without scaling the weight at all, after only one month, is a testament to the efficacy of CrossFit. That's 40 pu without help. Lots of singles, but lots of doubles and sets of four and five at the beginning. CrossFit seriously works!

Comment #332 - Posted by: JO at April 30, 2008 12:45 PM

Globo Gym was packed. Managed to grab a hold of one squat rack and took a run at "The Bear".

65,75,85,95,105,115,125

Looking forward today's WOD tomorrow!

--------------------

“The Bear”
The following constitutes ONE set:
- Power Clean
- Front Squat
- Push Press
- Back Squat
- Push Press

7 sets without the bar resting on the ground.
7 rounds of 7 sets.

Coach’s Notes: For this one perform the 5 exercises listed beginning with a weight that you will be able to manage for the 7 sets without letting the bar rest on the ground. At the start of each set the bar will touch (but not rest) on the ground for your power clean. Once the bar is at your shoulders (racked position) from the power clean, front squat the weight. At the top of the front squat push press the weight overhead (make sure you reach full lockout) and then lower the bar to your back. From here back squat the weight, then push press the bar from the back to full lockout, this time bringing the bar back to the front.

Repeat the same sequence at a higher weight and continue to do so until you are unable to complete all 7 sets or you are forced to set the bar down. These sets are not timed, so take as long as you need, just be sure that when you are taking a break that the bar remains off the floor. Post the highest load that you reach for the full 7 sets.

Thanks for the advice. I've been an athlete my whole life and, knock on wood, I've never had knee problems. Today was the first time I had a twing in my knee, so stopped immediately so I wouldn't injur it further. And yes, my thighs were really sore after the 5k yesterday, so I'm sure that put the added pressure on the knees.

For those of you who are not a computer whiz (like me), I received a little tip from Ms. Kelly Moore of CrossFit technical support on how to search through the postings on the WOD section for past records. I always went cross-eyed from searching through the hundreds of postings for my last workout. Simply use the Control/F key, enter your name, and it will automatically go to your posting. I told her she was a GENIUS! I hope this information helps others who didn't know this little trick.

Practice form with lower weights, practice form with lower weights, practice form with lower weights. Try not to tuck your pelvis in when you reach bottom and ALWAYS try to look at the ceiling when doing any kind of squat. If you put your head down, your back will arch. Good luck!

subbed the thrusters for air squats and shoulder press due to noobness/bad knee. bad idea, as the loss of shoulder strength led to increased grip and tearing callus.

but anyway enough crying, still did 5 rounds.

WU: jacks, pushup, situp, thruster 45#x10, thruster 55#x10, thruster 65#x10, jumping pullup, situps

10 sets in 19:37

1st 5 pullups of 1st set deadhang(PR). Other 95 pullups jumping. Sets of 5.

67# thrusters. No broken sets

Perfect weight (for me) on the thrusters. I would have subbed down to that if it was any higher.

This was one of the worst for me so far since I started CF. I hate high numbers of sets. Anything over 3 hurts mentally. So hard to be on set 2 knowing there are 8 or so to go.

I can always push myself thru the last and next-to-last set. The first is always interesting because it is new. The rest are hard for me to push through.

Me: 41yo/M/5'10"/188lbs

Warm Up: Greg's circulars + some bar muscle ups

WOD: 11 rounds + 5 thrusters

65 pound thrusters: A to A thrusters with complete lock out at the top. broke up the sets to 6 and then 4 from set 8 on.

Pull ups: Kipping, broke sets into 6 then 4 from set 6 on.

Very nice Metcon :>) I am happy with the thrusters but my crummy kipping is holding me back on the pull ups. Also, I am not getting to full hand at the bottom of my pull ups, I'm leaving about 2 inches on the table. I really need to focus on kipping from now on to really get it down.

It was great to see you at the gym Joe, and I would never laugh at someone else's pain especially when I know I'll be there in a minute :>) great job today!

Dwinson, you're an aerobic animal, what did you finish with today?

Comment #617 - Posted by: Manriquez at April 30, 2008 7:40 PM

7 rounds of thrusters + 6.5 rounds of pull-ups on a gravitron set at 130.

Maybe could have done better if I didn't have to walk a minute round-trip between the implements, but I don't want to make excuses. Just more motivation to get to doing BW pull-ups.

Comment #618 - Posted by: MC Warsaw 23/m/6"/230 at April 30, 2008 7:41 PM

dumbell thrusters (20 lbs for first 4 rounds, 10 for remaning 4)
&
sub lat pulldowns instead of pull ups(60 lbs for most sets)

8 rounds total...

Comment #619 - Posted by: Seth M. at April 30, 2008 7:44 PM

CFWU x3 (subbed empty bar front squats for OHS, no pull-ups)

AMRAP in 20 minutes of:
40-lb thrusters, 10 reps (women's rx'd weight)
Toe push-off pull-ups with full negatives, 10 reps

7 complete rounds + 10 thrusters + 2 pull-ups

Thrusters really did a number on me--the pull-ups were my "rest time".

9 rounds

didn't have to break up the thrusters, so I'm proud of that, but I just felt heavy during my pullups

Does any one else here do kettlebell only WODs or have their own set of kettlebells? I go to a kettlebell class to use them.

25M/6'6"/245

As rx'd: 13 rounds

I have an excuse for my poor showing. After round five i was on track for 15 to 18 rounds. Then right after round seven i started to feel a tighness in me quads. I kept pushing and i realized that i was cramping. I also realized that in my busy day i had barely drank any water. I was very dehidrated and at this point it was futile to try to drink water to help the situation. Rounds 10 through 13 were agony and i had to have my girlfriend drive me home because my legs were cramping holding the clutch in. I'm going to try this again in the near future on a full tank and see what i can do.

Merry Rest Day Everyone!

I checked the site for Speal's result to see what was possible - he wasn't there yet. So I made my goal 10 rounds. Then I touched base with a colleague who said he got 14 rounds. Well then we can't have that...tried to beat it. People will die for points?! Almost...

Speal; I see now 18 rounds - Nice work!

#622 Angel - Awesome work with thrusters at over half your BW!

M/28/5'8"/190 lbs.

Did two rounds normal pullups, rest jumping with a prolonged negative.

Made 10 rounds...had pasta before hand which turns out is a bad idea. I didn't get to enjoy it twice but it felt like a hunk of lead in my gut. Next time I'm going to work on increasing my non jumping pullups more so than getting another round in.

There is nothing like that blissful, heaving, gleaming moment splayed out, eyes closed, knees bent, puddling all the pain and fear of a day in the world at the end of anything AMRAP in 20.

13 rounds as rx'ed

caught myself resting too much, probably could have done 15, but a killer workout regardless.

on a side note, one of my friends came up to me to ask "so what is this crossfit stuff" 5 min into my workout. I replied, "ask me again in 15 minutes"
He catches up with me right after I finish as I'm dripping sweat, beat red, and hugging the water fountain and says "Oh, so that looks kinda intense..."
Gotta love it.

It's about 10 hours later... And I'm still not quite right. Lungs still not all there, and my nose was plugged... I guess I'm still a bit sick.

Went all out anyway, but I wonder how much further I could have gone if I was 100% better.

Also... Crazy stress levels in my life right now.

I need some serious down time.

9 rounds + 6 thrusters

Comment #661 - Posted by: mithious at April 30, 2008 9:41 PM

10 rounds as rx'd

i dont know if anyone else does this, but i normally check the comments before working out and search for other people in the 170-179 weight range to see how they did in a workout. i didnt do this until after the workout today and only did ten rounds which i thought was pretty good. however, after looking over the comments today it looks like an average might have been closer to 12 rounds or so and i think if i had pushed harder i could have got at least 11 and maybe that 12th one in stretching real hard. i like to think im pretty self motivated but seeing other peoples numbers on here motivates me a lot more than simply on my own.

WOD: 8 rd. as rx'd, but broke PUs into sets. I felt my ab muscle start to twinge again, so I slowed down the kip a bit. I'm glad tomorrow is a rest day.

Great pic today. One fit girl's front and another fit girl's rear. Wow. I think I'll make it my wallpaper.

Used pullups and thrusters with a 45 pound bar.

Home gym is great, but interruptions are not. Argh. Note to self, leave cell phone in house, lock door, turn music up louder. :P

Got 9 in. Subbed 20# dumbbells on the thrusters, and switched to the gravitron for the last pull-up sets. Sets were horribly broken after the first.

I think I need to revisit my pull-up form, as after 2 years of Crossfit I should be able to do more than two sets of 10 pull-ups consecutively.

Complete as many rounds in twenty minutes as you can of:
65 Pound Thruster, 10 reps
10 Pull-ups

BW: 181

Eight rounds. Interesting, I found a slightly different version of this workout in the archives, beginning of 2007. It called for 12 thrusters per round, as opposed to 10. I completed seven rounds back then.

The weak point for me is the thrusters. I could do them unbroken, except for my left shoulder, which for some reason starts to feel very sore about the sixth rep, after the first couple of sets. It feels fine again with a little bit of rest. Next time, I'll try to shake it out quicker.

I posted my gender/ht/wt/age earlier. I just realized how unCrossFit that is. Isn't the point to do the workout to the best of your ability regardless of these factors? If possible do them as prescribed but always to max intensity. So, why post the other info? I shan't do it again.

Thanx Sean - I may be a CF newbie, but I believe your feelings are correct. I usually post my gender/ht/wt/age, but that isn't what CF is about. CF is about doing the workout at max intensity, to the best of your ability, regardless of those factors?. So, why post the other info? I won't do it again.

Mods: used 2-30# DBs instead of 65# BB.

Notes: Performed 080501. Thrusters not too bad; done unbroken. Switched grips (often) on PUs. PUs were the time killer on this WOD; broken on all rounds except round 1. Split times show things going into the tank quickly after round 2. 80 pullups / 20 minutes is what I typically get on Cindi too (16 rounds).

Comment #785 - Posted by: ncsheepdog at May 1, 2008 1:40 PM

Hi,

Today was my first time doing Crossfit/WOD! After looking at the WOD:s for a while I finally tried it out. Me and a buddy of mine did it together at a reallly small and for Crossfit not to good equiped gym, we´re gonna start looking for a better place right away. The problem is that we live in Sweden and Crossfit isn`t established at all here in the same way as I understand that it is in North America. There are no facilities for doing this but we´ll work something out for sure.

Back to the WOD, I did 10 rounds + 10 reps of thrusters. I didn´t have a chin-up bar so I held on to the two rails over the cable cross doing my PUs which held me back a little. I definetly think I´ll do better next time. The Thrusters went well and the PUs were the killer for me.

I thing is for sure, Crossfit is for me and it really matches up well with the way I wanna train nowadays.

Excellent Metcon! It's been a while since I've felt genuinely ill during a workout. Crossfit has been good to me like that. This one wrecked me. It felt like my first few Cindy's where I had to slow down to keep from puking and stop before the 20 minutes. All but a few of my more pathetic sets were completed in under 40 seconds, like my Cindys. But 20+ rounds of this one, I don't see happening.

15 rounds in 19:42 then I punked out. Good stuff.

CFWUx2, thruster practice; BW 130

11 rounds even w/ 65# thrusters

compare to last time 7 + 6 pulls (did backwards), big improvement! I looked at my watch at the middle of round 7 thrusters, and I had 9 min left...that's almost where I finished last time. All I wanted to do was better my last one, so in my head I was going for 8 rounds or so, then I revised up to 10, then I could tell that more was in me, but I should have pushed for 12 when I saw that...only 9 sec faster per round and I would have had it:) Next time, 12+. This time all thrusters 5/5, all pulls unbroken.

Are you kidding me?! I had to go and do thrusters / OHS instead of the CFT yesterday. Two days of thrusters sounds like a blast!

Comment #991 - Posted by: cold soldier at June 20, 2008 9:12 AM

8 rounds of thrusters @ 45 lbs

&

7 rounds of PUs using least supportive band

Time was cut to 13 mins

First day working at an actual Crossfit affiliate (Quantico, VA). Before that, I did a few WODs last year. I was very impressed with the professionalism and motivational ability of the trainers! Doing it with an affiliate is so much better than trying to haphazardly do some of these workouts on your own.

Not great results for today (largely due to my hands getting destroyed), but I look forward to reporting big improvements over time!

Also have to say that the videos are truely motivational. Makes me want to get my swole on!!!

Comment #992 - Posted by: Julio V m/30/5'6/189lbs at June 20, 2008 11:21 AM
