crazy

Just talking about the elusive 1000# CFT. Sure I won't hit it tomorrow but no doubt I'll be closer than I am today. Can't wait.

my first crossfit total...should be interesting

I can't wait... I know I am going to destroy my last CFT!

my first CFT lets do work!!!!

my first crossfit total...should be interesting

I've been waiting/dreading this one! Go get some...

Still have to be careful with my squats, don't want to re-injure my quad this close to the Games. Gonna try for PR's on Deads and Shoulder Press though! Go get some!

bring it. happy to try and get my body back into some sort of working order after the last couple of cycles. hopefully some PR's

what does crossfit total mean?

#11
its the name of this 'workout'
read the linked article

been waiting for this one for a while!!!

i was just theorizing what my total would be, this is PERFECT. will be a first and a great indicator where i am.
can't wait!! get some!

Explanation: You are trying to get your best 1 rep max of each exercise. This does not mean you are only doing 1 rep of each and your workout has ended. You are suppose to do the CrossFit Warmup, and then you would do 1 rep of each exercise adding weight each time until you have reached the point where you can't add any more. This will be your 1 rep total for that exercise.

You then add up the weight for these 3 exercises and post to comments. If you can get over 1000, you are pretty damn good. Semper Fi!

Awesome Video. Lt Col Dan is a big boy.

Great video, and what a cool and special place. Thanks for everything Coach and the CrossFit community!

That has to be one of the best videos to date. I had the HONOR of training with those MARINES at my Level I Cert back in January.

LT. COL Wilson you and your men are true models for the entire CrossFit community and our great nation.

Is is possible to get a CrossFit Camp Pendelton T-Shirt. I would wear it with Pride and honor. www.sjp-crossfit.blogspot.com

Vin

rough week for this one.

Such a great video. Those guys really deserve all that gear. Good to see it'll live on.

That was the saddest video I've watched in my four years here! So surreal watching the "mecca" come down one piece at a time, I'm sure the Pendleton Marines will do it proud! Hoorah!

the goal is to break 1200 this time last time so close

THAT IS AWESOME COACH YOUR GENEROSITY IS AMAZING AND WELL THOUGHT

So what's the scoop on crossfit HQ?

Where is the coach going to be headquartered?

Any one from RI want to try to meet up sometime to do the WOD?

That video is awesome. Thank you.

What? What just happened? Is CrossFit done? Is Coach done coaching? What is going to happen? Help!

Inspiring video - well done coach.

jdm - longtime crossfitter...firsttime post

semper fi palma

Crossfit is so inspiring in so many ways. Once again great video and great job again Coach.

awsome video, very motivating. It just doesnt get any better than crossfit!!

GREAT video...

I like the contrast of the Marines (Machines?) in the video against the music of outspokenly anarchist Rage Against the Machine. That's a little more irony than I'd expect from CF. I'm pleasantly surprised. Good work!

Perfect song for the perfect moment...Such a sad time, but such a GREAT cause! Thank you Coach for everything you have done and continue to do for us!

Where is the new HQ gonna be?

I'm also a bit confused.. is coach Glassman punching out?

Amazing video. As others have said, it is very inspiring. Glad to be apart of this community.

And thank you marines for all that you do.

Wow coach! Your generosity towards our nations finest is an example we should all follow. You truly are an inspiration in every facet of the word!!!

Thanks for everything, you have changed my life.

Can't wait!!!

Karin

Not sure I'm ready for this, I've only been crossfitting for a month, this is only my second complete week of workouts. Can anyone suggest a substitute routine?

Hey all I am trying to get back to crossfit shape after a 5-6 week semi-rest period from a severe ankle sprain... it's still a little swollen (little bump below the instep ankle kind of hard like bone not present on the other ankle) and hurts a tad at extreme points of extension... anyone know what this might mean? please email me at FrV.Nguyen@gmail.com if you have any idea on what should be done thanks

Semper X-Fit!!!

I don't get it. Why is HQ in Santa Cruz closing? What becomes of the Crossfitters there? Are Coach and others moving to the Pendleton area?

With this workout am I trying over and over again for the best numbers I can get, or do I just have one shot at my highest weight?

Goodness gracious I'm excited

Coach,

What a terific send off for the Santa Cruz gym. Even though I never visited, "it feels like home."

Mike

RIP CFHQ

Extra musings...

1) CFHQ. I never visited CFHQ, and I am a lesser man for that. Invited countless times, I could never pull it off. It's funny, eh, how one can mourn the loss of a place one has never visited. I'm surprised, and then again not so surprised, at how difficult it was to see that video--I must have gotten something in my eye. I shall rest easy knowing that CFHQ will always look the same to me, each time I visit one of the videos, each time I close my eyes and think about the first time I might visit. For in my mind the simple fact that I was invited to sit at the CF table, so warmly welcomed time and again...well...

2) CFHQ. So where to now? Whither CFHQ? The physical space is pretty much wherever Coach and Lauren may find themselves, now, and for as long as they choose to lead. It has always been thus it seems. Fear not Cory #28. The people who lead this Crossfit are fearless individuals who will continue to do so long after the memory of a particular CF box fades. They are fearless to the point where they purposefully seek to create something which will grow beyond their imaginations, grow long after they no longer provide the "fertilizer."

3)CFHQ. Is here. Right here. Always was. Always will be. I once asked Jeff Martin why he continued to post on these comments even after BrandX became huge and his simple answer was: "The Main Page is important to Coach."

I heard from a long-time Crossfitter the other day who told me he was re-dedicating his Main Page efforts. (I won't steal his thunder; he will announce it himself, but I am thrilled). I was going to muse about this on Sunday but this is a better time. The Crossfit Main Page and the Comments are now the de facto HQ. This is a shout out to all of the original Crossfitters to come home. Please re-join us here on the main page. Share your results. Share your wisdom. Share your techniques and technical know-how. Share what you are doing now in your garage or your affiliate. Share stories of the early days. Force feed the ethic of the original Crossfit. Honor, and teach others to honor the tradition.

I guess it's only by default, but I may finally be a member of CFHQ. As I've said on a number of occasions in the past it is truly extraordinary to find something, anything, that is such a revelation at mid-life. If I never received anything else than what I've already received it's a bounty beyond belief.

Ah, but there to be more. On July 4th I get my handshake. Thanks, Coach.

Sad to say I won't be doing this tommorow. It has been a while since I have done the Totals. I havn't felt comfortable doing dl's after I hurt my back doing them about 5 months ago. (poor form) I read some of the articles on the Cross Fit Totals today when this posted and found them extremly helpful. Went and worked on my form. Started with 135 and slowly worked my way up to 295. (PR 325) I felt comfortable and a lot stronger doing them after applying what I read. So just wanted to say thanks Coach and thanks crossfit.

anyone know the link to part one

Wow, I actually choked up watching that video. I'm so glad I got to visit HQ back in January. What an incredibly gracious and generous gift Coach gave those mariens, some of my sweat is now in Camp Pendleton.

A little off the path but, I have been doing cross fit for almost a year now at a regular gym. I would love to join a crossfit gym, and help support them but its almost 4x the cost of my gym now. True I have to sub a few things here and there, but over all I can do the WOD, plus continue on and do further workouts. Any one know why the price is so high?

So, what's the story? Why is Santa Cruz closing down?

#50- There's a great thread about that in the message boards in the running a facility section

Wow, I actually choked up watching that video. I'm so glad I got to visit HQ back in January. What an incredibly gracious and generous gift Coach gave those mariens, some of my sweat is now in Camp Pendleton.

Wow! I had hoped to visit CFHQ someday and am now sad to see it go. I feel I missed something.

Coach = Stand-up guy! Awesome.

I hope the change is for the better for your family and stuation in life...You have created something that means a lot to many. Best wishes!

I was surprised how emotional the video was. I've never been there but am faithful to watch the video clips. I was doing good until I saw them folding the flag. Ripped me up.

I love Crossfit and I love the American flag.

#46 Bingo, awesome posts, when I post the first thing I do is look at is the posts from the older guys like you, Apolloswabbie, Hari, Mark W, Freddy C, Ken C, Speal......you guys are great role models and always have wize words

Crossfit, the greatest place in the world! Thank you for making me an athlete again, thank you for humbling me everyday, and thank you for making me continue to be a better person.
I am so lucky to find something so unbelievably life changing at such a young age. Get some!

M/49/163/CFJAX
Video was a nice send off. Been at it for 11 months and the folks at CROSSFITJAX are helping me get to the next level. My goal for 08, score a 300 on fight gone bad. RALLY ROUND THE FAMILY.
CAV

That's typical Coach - not 1 iota of sadness or remorse just a fiery passion for the future he continues to create.

Cheers to Coach Glassman!

A true American.

I was expecting this one to come up for 3 weeks!
I'll destroy my old CFT for sure!

I don't feel ready to do another CFT. Not until i'm sure i can get that elusive 1300.

My last effort was 1230, so that leaves 70lbs to make up for.

Plus i need to work on my planche and front lever some more.

I love how crossfit is not just a workout, it's a family. I haven't met any of you who post on this page and I feel like I know all of you.

Thanks crossfit and coach for changing my life.

Is it ok to do cardio in the mornings hours before the WOD? Or would this just be detrimental to the workout?

CFHQ is one of those mythical places that is packed so dense with experiences, creativity and passion that it transcends its location. I'm sad to see it go in the sense that I'll never be able to return to a place I loved so much, but I'm excited by what its dismantling signifies. I'm proud to be a part of of the CF community. Coach & Lauren - I love you guys and thank you for bringing me into the family.

watched the video. WOW!

Thanks coach! Thanks Crossfit! And thank you all in our little community. Even though we may never meet, i respect and care for everyone that comes here.

YES, EVEN YOU JOHN! (from rest day)

I'm prouud to be a crossfitter, and i'm proud to be a Marine!

Great thoughts bingo. I agree that the main page is the embodiment of HQ. Crossfit is where you make it. Your garage, a park, a combat zone, or even the shadowy corner of your local globo-gym. It's the enthusiasm, the drive to get that last rep, and the camaraderie. It's great if you can make it to an affiliate but by no means necessary.

i didn't think the video would get to me, but it certainly was emotional especially with the flag folding. i am proud to be a part of the "thing" we call crossfit. Coach, you are visionary and a role model.
i'm happy to be along for the ride.
glad to see the HQ go to camp pendalton, i know they will do it proud!!

I LIKE!

I love workouts where my lungs don't bleed!

I went out this afternoon..Bryant Park..shots of Jager..I think I nursed one beer over 6 hours..

Girlies are dangerous, they have a few and they're all over the good-lookin crossfitter (also on the Paleo diet) great abs, shredded..etc. etc.

thank the good Jesus H. Christmas I can half-ass tomorrow's workout, now for my STARBUCKS!!

Looking forward to my first CFT. In just over a week I've gone from 5 pull ups to 10 (thank you kipping). Crossfit has already changed what I think of fitness, and is in the process of changing my life!

Is it just me - or is the affiliate list getting GINORMOUS!!!!!

That is awesome!

Don't know why but that video made my eyes water and my skin tingle. It was so simple and yet so powerful. USMC + Crossfit = Two organizations that share so much in common. The will to keep fighting even though your body is telling you to lay down. Somehow our mind realizes our body can continue, and it does.

Wow... Like many here I have never been to (the former?!) CrossFit HQ and am surprised to feel the regret welling up. Still I think it is an impressive move and one that hammer's home what Bingo said earlier in this post. CrossFit is here. Not just on this site but in everyone one who participates and shares in the workouts.

I am very grateful for not only Coach's generosity but also his integrity and grace. This is so much more to me than a simple workout page and I think that we are all feeling the richness that these wonderful people have added to our lives. I thank you Crossfit truly, deeply, thank you.

Greg and Lauren Great work! It is good to see the equipment I built you 8 years ago is till going strong and in good hands.It makes me proud to know that my family is a part of the foundation of this great program.
Best Regards,
Nick Lisa,Molly and Libby Massman

Very touching video. Thanks Coach!

Powerful video. Congrats to the guys at Pendelton and a big congrats on the move for CFHQ. This video let us all be a part of a monumental transition for CF. Thanks for sharing.

So many great memories fromt that gym...Thank you Coach and Lauren for all you have given to all of us.

BS 125Kg = PR - 275#
SP 85Kg = PR - 187#
DL 165Kg = PR - 363#
Total:
375kg - 825#

Awesome video

I started 2008 5'8" 243# and ~40%BF (out of range on scale). We found out we were having twins added to our family of our 2yo and my wife. My wife needed to gain 20# in 20wks. I thought, if she can gain that, I could do my part for my family and drop 20# in 20 weeks, like I said I would 2 years ago... I found CrossFit at the right time in many ways. I started by scaling and adapting the philosophies. After my first 20#s came off, I started doing the WOD's from the main page. Now I've dropped more than 40#!
I've wanted to share my thanks with Coach and all of the CrossFitters out there for a while and today's video spurred it on. Thank you for this invaluable resource (the main page) that you provide.

#46 - Bingo - great thoughts! I for one have had the amazing experience of being at CFHQ for not only my L1 cert, but my L2 back in January. I made it a point to get my L1 over a year ago at "the mothership" even though another cert was in the Southeast a month or two later and I now see what an honor it was to be at "the little box that could". The Marines hit it right on point - you walk in and it feels like home, even if you've never been there...

As for the original HQ trainers & students, I can only imagine the emotion of packing up the mecca you built. Thanks to Coach & the original CFHQ trainers for everything - reign on in Camp Pendelton!

CrossFitting: 1 year, 9 months
Career: Left a job in the corporate world exactly one year ago today to begin a life-changing career as the full-time Trainer & Manager of BTB CrossFit. I also travel to L1 certs as a trainer and hope to visit many more boxes this year.
Biggest accomplishments (which change on a regular basis thanks to the awesome programming & continual PR's): 30 Muscle Up's RX'd; Dropping from 21% to 13% body fat since starting CrossFit... and only losing a total of 4 pounds on the scale.

People ask me all the time what I do for a living, and every day I become more proud to say I'm a full-time CrossFit Trainer.

Definitely an unexpected video and development. I can only wish the best to Coach Glassman and his family in any future endeavors. Thank you for this creation. It is a life changer.

I finally went to a sports doctor about a shoulder problem from benching on "Linda" 3 months ago. I've only done one push-up workout since and still cannot do ring dips. The good news is its nothing serious. I have over developed my frontal deltoids (or at least the front muscles of my shoulders) and the back of my shoulders need their strength to be improved so that the nerves/ligament or something isn't pinched when I work my chest. I've got a bunch of rehab excercises to do and a shot of cortisone (might be how you spell it) and the doc says it should be healed soon. However, I have to take the next few days off to let the drug work. Hopefully, I'll hit the CFT up on Sunday and improve my PR by over 50#'s. Based on my recent PR's, this is definitely a realistic goal.

Anyway, I can't wait to be able to do burpees, Cindy, and all the other workouts I've been missing again. Hopefully, i'll have the patience to let a full recovery occur before I mess things up again. Its hard, but necessary. Wish me luck.

Test

Coach,
Outstanding to see you yesterday and today at the CrossFit Ripper Cert. I greatly appreciate you conducting the Cert for our brothers & sisters at 29 Palms (AKA: The Stumps!). Your team of trainers, Dave, Jolie, Jimi & Todd were first class, and all the attendees were highly impressed! The classes you gave were noteworthy, as usual. Col McCoy and I can't thank you enough for your generosity & patriotism! I look forward to seeing you at the Camp Pendleton Cert in 2 weeks and at my Change-of-Command on 27 June. Operation Phoenix has been a resounding success, and your original equipment has already trained hundreds of Marines!

Vin (#17): Send me your mailing address and I'll personally ensure you get a CrossFit Camp Pendleton T-Shirt!

Where are they going with all the stuff. Are crossfit moving????

Question: Is a sumo deadlift more or less the same exercise as a regular deadlift? Seems the sumo would be less stress on a sore back. Thanks.

Way to REPRESENT 1/5. Good job to Luke, Huysman, Kosnik and the rest in keeping the fire alive. Semper Fi.

Steve Shaw

I cried and cried and cried, i got goose bumps watching that! wow. i was so worried when the video started that Coach and Caochess would break down into tears.. but you are both so amazing. What a generous beautiful thing you did. Truly amazing, inspring, passionate and restores faith in my belief that human beings are good at heart. I am still crying, it may be the P.M.S. but i dont think so. :-) You guys are so awesome. what a movement!

I do not POST comments or results daily. However, after seeing today's video... I wanted to express my "Best Wishes" to Coach and his Family. I had hoped to “someday” visit CFHQ as I have watched so many videos filmed there and so many athletes who have “Awe-inspired” me!

I visit the main CF website daily and have been doing "Crossfit" just over a year now.
I share it with “Friends & Family” whenever I have the opportunity!

“Crossfit” is the BEST!!!... I "Love" it!

Wow, all the best to Coach and family. And all the best to the guys at Camp P. I am sure the CF spirit will life on. Found the main page late last year, joined an affiliate three months ago. So thankful for CF. Can't tell you how much I appreciate the whole deal.
Shout out to CF Winston Salem! Love you guys

I am so glad I had the opportunity to train at HQ a few months back with Annie and Hollis and Rob Miller coaching me up. I remember walking up being a bit nervous to train at the location of the videos I had watched so many times. I had a great time and the energy of the place was quite amazing from the impressive group of trainers and trainees I got to meet. It and the cert were some of the moments I would say that brought me in to the larger Crossfit community and out of just my gym here in Atlanta.

So thanks and I look forward to new HQ.

Coach, I was originally drawn to crossfit, not just by the fitness, but by the ethics that accompanied it. I have always been inspired by an earlier quote of your that stated "We're doing all the right things, for all the right people, for all the right reasons". I try my best to use that philosophy day in and day out to run my affiliate and am so greatful that I am apart of a community that holds true to those words at every level. Your words and deeds are held in high regards. Thank you.

The best video that has ever been posted on crossfit, hands down.

I am so glad to be a part of this revolution.

Coach and Lauren, you two are the best and I really appreciate what the two of you are doing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Semper Fi, De Oppresso Liber,

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

I feel so out of the loop! I hurt my knee 3 weeks ago (prob ACL tear) and have not been posting. When I do check in, CFHQ is coming down. I've kind of stayed away because I've been afraid to see what kind of fun I've been missing. My workouts now are just strength building and all upper body. I cant wait to get this repair done and start therapy. I sucks to by soo close to a 1000# CFT and now have to wait for 6 months of rehab to get back to that shape. I'm with you guys is spirit and through the people I train.
Thanks Coach for all the good and humbling videos from CFHQ. I think I speak for all the CrossFit generation when I say thanks for inviting us into your family of fitness and giving so much.
/\/\/\/\/\//\\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

That was bittersweet. Thanks for everything Coach

Coach, Boz, Robbie Miller, Nicole, and to those that I have not had the honor to meet along the way. Thank you so much for providing me with the inspiration to not only become a better athlete and CrossFitter, but a better human being. To say your actions speak louder than words does not do justice to the depth and breadth of your touch on my life. I spent only a week in California, but your inspirations continue to reach me daily, even though I'm now on the other side of the world.

I feel that there is something inherent in CrossFit that draws only the best and brightest of our society. It is evident everyday: on the main page, on the forum, and at every box around the world. CrossFit isn't just changing the face of fitness - that's too easy, too small a task for such a potent force. CrossFit is changing the way people view life; it's changing the way the other 23.5 hours every day are spent.

I remember my visit to Santa Cruz, to HQ. My friend Nate Scott and I driving to mecca in the dark of night, unable to resist the pull, unable to wait until dawn. I feel so lucky that I was able to train at CFHQ, if only once. I feel lucky to be led in a workout by Annie. It was an experience that I will never forget: chasing Oliver on each Fed Ex run, Annie's motivational cries, thinking "Greg A. did pull-ups in this same spot." Although some would consider this a sad day, I'm comforted knowing that my sweat and blood, and that of countless others, will continue to fuel the fire for Marines day in and day out at CrossFit Camp Pendleton.

I am so proud to serve alongside the Marines, Soldiers, and Airmen in the defense of freedom around the world. CrossFit doesn't just Forge Elite Fitness...it is forging a new breed of warrior and a culture that will continue to sustain our efforts around the globe for years to come.

This all started with Greg and Lauren, to them I am forever grateful.

First, Thanks to Coach - we are indebted to you for the knowledge, strength, and inspiration that crossfit has brought to each of us.
Second - from the posts I gather that Lauren is Coach's significant other, is that correct? Is she featured or interviewed in any of the videos?

When there's a storm the hard unyielding tree will be broken, the soft and yielding tree is unharmed.

Bamboo is strong but bends in the wind?

Best...video...ever!

Very insightful. I'm gonna totally geek out and say it's just like Neo going back into the Matrix.

Thank you, Coach and Lauren, for the guidance and opportunities you've offered to all of us. And thank you for your commitment. You're a class act.

Before I first stumbled across this site about a year ago, I was just a lonely guy doing weird exercises in the base gym while the chest-and-tri's-back-and-bi's boys were rolling their eyes at me between working on their posing routines and sipping from a 2 liter of MEGAGAINER 8000.

Suddenly, it was as if a curtain had dropped showing me this fantastic community of people who'd been there all along, just as curious about better ways to train but vastly superior to me in knowledge and ability and I was hugely inspired! Like many here, I was one of the fittest people I knew but so dissatisfied because I knew there had to be a better way. I commend you for your clarity of vision. It is my great pleasure to speed the revolution.

LTJG, USN

Can't download the videos b/c the connection is so poor. Sounds like a good one.

Last night was Up-Armored Cindy. 11 rds in full Battle Rattle (approx 33 lbs). Felt like a 20 min Fran. Hung up my t-shirt & found a 1 ft. pool of sweat underneath an hour later.

Thanks Coach for everything. Crossfit changed my life. Dramatically and in many different ways. I'm all the better for it, and many around me as well. Coach doesn't just talk or write about helping others, he does it selflessly. Coach and Lauren, I want you to know your support for the Armed Forces and first responders is greatly appreciated. It's inspiring frankly, and I'm proud to be a part of the community.

So sad, what is coach gonna do now?

Who's singing while they are loading the truck (just after the Jimmy interview)??? The song is Landslide by Fleetwood Mac but this sounds like the Smashing Pumpkins....??

And I should have kept watching since the song continues throughout....

@101 Yes, that is Billy Corgan singing.

Thanks Coach and Lauren.

Coach and Lauren - Congratulations. A true inspiration with many amazing things yet to come.

It's truly an honor to be part of such an amazing community!

If I had to hazzard a guess as to why the CFHQ has closed it would be that:

1. Lots of new affiliates means that certifications can and are being run all over the place, not just at CFHQ.

2.That the CFHQ has done its job in training the first (and probably second and third) generation of trainers, so the knowledge and skills are out there in depth

3. That CFHQ is probably too small to host the large groups CF can now attract to the Certs

4. Running a gym day to day is probably a hassle and fairly time consuming (just read May's CFJ), and why bother if you don't need to? I would guess that Coach's time is much better spent directing the global CF empire.

5. Rent. I can only guess that day to day classes don't bring in much revenue, so why continue to rent a property if it is unnecessary to your main mission which is web based, world wide fitness?

I am really glad I got to see it in the flesh in January, and met Annie who was running a class at the time. (I felt like a teenager meeting a rockstar idol :-)
I am also relieved that we ended up training at N.Santa Cruz, which is a much bigger, better put together location.

Coach, Lauren. Thanks for all the lives you've touched and improved.

#14 StrikeFO and Camp Pendelton Crew-
You guys are PT machines! I have Camp Pendelton's site marked in favorites, and I look to see if I can compete with your daily numbers - haha (I don't usually, but it's fun to try to compete with the best)...you have an OUTSTANDING site, particularly on rest days. My dad retired from the Marines (he flew A-4's), and I send him links to your site regularly. Keep up the good work on CF and on the site!

Of all the outstanding things I've seen on this website during my three year relationship with CrossFit, today's video was probably the best. Good Luck CF Camp Pendleton. God Bless Our Warriors! Thank You Coach for CrossFit!

#14 StrikeFO-
Looking forward to "RADIO" soon! (forgot to mention that above -sorry)

Great video!
It was truly inspiring to have ever set foot at the former HQ.
Thank you Greg and Laurn for all you have done and good luck to all the Marines that will benefit from the equipment.

It's awesome that Coach donated all the stuff to CF Camp Pendleton. The video makes me a bit sad though, knowing that when I go home to Monterey HQ won't be there anymore.

just watched the video, man i know what they mean when they say they feel like they've always been there. so many inspiring videos. r. miller tabata something else! it was sad, but hopefully resurrected it will be even stronger. good luck all with the total today. my w.o.d. is going to be a 5k for cystic fibrosis later today. looking for sub 21:00. feels good to post again. T n T form MD are you still out there?

No squat rack. We had one, but it was an old rickety thing that collapsed as we were trying to do makeshift GHD situps with it. It was ugly. So, we were unable to do CF Total today, but we made some changes to a WOD from Diablo, which worked out really well.

After each round, walk with 115# overhead 75 feet to end of garage. Drop weight, clean & jerk, walk 75 feet back with weight overhead.

It was a good one. Thanks Diablo Crossfit, I think they called it the "Firefighter Workout" or something like that.

Have bum shoulder from a recent accident so had to use a "Safety Squat Bar" (which they say you don't normally lift as much with as a straight bar) because I physically can not put my hand back on the straight bar, but still PR'ed by 25lbs. 15 lb. PR on the press. Same on DL.

How I was able to PR on the press with a shoulder that wont allow me to hang on a pull-up bar without dislocating... I will never know.

That video was amazing. If we had more people like coach in this country our military would be unrecognizable. That kind of support and patriotism just does not seem to exsist these days. Sure people say they support us, but how many of them are willing to do something about it?

I am going to set a PR today on this and I am goign to see to it the my clients do also.

Awesome video,
Thank you Coach and Lauren for everything you have done, are doing and going to do.
I'm proud to be a part of CF Family and Monique is twice is proud to be a CrossFitter and a Marine.

We've been back to CF.com's programming for the last
couple of months and loving it.
It's great knowing that this board is still being watched and comments are taken in consideration.

Thank you!

coach you've changed a lot of people's lives for the better and that by itself is a wonderful legacy. terrific gift to a deserving group of guys. a gift that will keep on giving. just like crossfit.

With your totals, you would give all of the crossfit females a lot of competition. I don't know if Annie, Nichole, Jolie, or Eva T can hang with you in the CrossFit total.

Bingo, no thunder to steal mate. Just gonna put my head down for a month and give a little something to this community that has given me so much.

Folks, Bingo set an example in January - drip feeding fresh faces with the info we old sweats have gained by painful experience, diligent research or other folks who gave generously of their time.

Not spoon feeding, taking responsibility is a part of what we do. Instead, helping folks who are taking a leap of faith with something new.

I'm not as smart or as funny as Bingo but for the month of June I will be trying to answer the oft-repeated questions before they are asked for the month of June (time zone helps here). This also coincides with my return to following the main page WOD and posting results in the lead up to the Games next month.

Looking forward to coming home.

Cheers, kempie

So, this will be my first total. I just back to pressing and squatting has been non existent since before christmas (haven't had access to rack) I'm hoping to rick up into the 1000lb club with my first crack at this wod.

Could be wishful thinking but im guessing my Jamaican genes will pull me through haha.

Well said Bingo.

great video today. i also got goosebumps and misty. not sad that HQ was being broken down, but the potential that passing a torch (not "the" torch, since we all have been given one) to the marines at Pendleton represents. a proud moment and perhaps an amazing turning point for our little community.

bingo, thanks for your comments. your musings are always spot on. i watched the video and got a touch of sadness and confusion seeing the break down, then i thought, "it doesn't matter. we don't need a physical structure. CFHQ is the mainsite and comments anyway." this is home.

thanks coach and lauren for everything. and everything to come. God bless you boys (and girls!) down at Pendleton. no better shoulders to hang such a traditon.

illiterate or what? I'm at work trying to get a job done, at the same time reading comments and trying to post. Who said men can't multi task?

What I meant to say was I've just gotten myself back to pressing after a shoulder injury and my squatting has been pretty much non-existent due to the lack of a rack.

Kempie #152: Good on ya! Can't wait. For purely selfish reasons I am delighted that you will be here posting. Now we need to encourage all the rest of our mates to come home.

As a newbee crossfitter (3 months) but a life long Police Officer and National Guard Infantry soldier who deployed overseas. I must say this was one of the best video I have ever watched on the site. Donating that equipment, that life saving equipment to the Marines of Camp pendalton is hugh. Soldiers and Marines in battle need a strong mind and body to complete the mission. This is helping complete the mission, great job you are a true Patriot. Sgt P

I did negative pull ups today during my warm up. Those pretty much suck and I can tell that it will be a while before I can do unassisted pull ups. For the WOD I used my 45lb bar and just did as many as I could 2x.

Amazing video.
I wish that there were more people like that in Canada willing to support the forces.

This will be my first CrossFit Total, only started doing the WODs on Monday, dreading how low my score could be. But very excited to see how much I will have improved come next time.

Great video and thanks for the thoughts Bingo. You could see the generational change coming with so many HQ trainers branching out to open their own affiliates across Santa Cruz. Funny to feel sentimental about a place I've never been, but having seen so many inspiring performances there, it's hard not to feel that way.

Coach, you found an amazing way to make what could be a difficult occasion a tremendous opportuntity for growth. As usual, you made the obvious choice - pass it along to those who need it most. Thanks for all you do for this community.

Glad to see a CF Total today. Being in the midst of a SS cycle, I've been away from the main page. It will be particuarly nice to join in today. I was going to squat, press and deadlift anyways. Don't know if I'll make my post-SS goal of 800, but I'm sure gonna try.

Does anyone know why the CFT isn't registered as a percentage of body weight? It seems like that would be a better representation.

Been working with Crossfit since this Wednesday, tried to make up for missing Mon and Tues by doing the "Jason" workout on Wednesday with the SP, so my legs were kind of shot for this exercise. But I still am having alot of fun.

Great Video. I'm extremely glad more and more Marines are picking up Crossfit and our leaders implementing it into training.

Thank you Coach for all you are doing for us!

Does anyone know how long Crossfit 29 Palms has been around?
I don't remember ever hearing about it when I was stationed there.

As for me, hopefully 5 more weeks and my arm will be healed enough to get back at it. Still in a brace, stationary lower body work is all I can do for now (plenty of execises to keep in shape though).

The picture on my computer desktop right now is a snapshot of Crossfit Santa Cruz. It's a picture taken at twilight of the gym from outside and in it you can see the array of all the standard crossfit equipment. I found this picture at the bottom of the "Garage Gym" article which I first poured over shortly after I first stumbled across Crossfit about a year ago. Crossfit SC been my computer desktop ever since.

For some reason this picture of Crossfit SC just seems to completely sum up what Crossfit is all about to me. The simple tools (that do so much good). The big open garage doors symbolizing how accessible Crossfit is (and all fitness should be). And the intimacy with the outdoors during a gorgeous southern California twilight.

Watching today's video is just too much for me. Crossfit literally saved my life and it feels like your are demolishing the shrine of the one pure entity I still believe in.

Mike # 50-
Everyone of our clients is clearly aware that they could train at a globo gym for 5-6x less money than they pay to train with us. We are preparing to move to a 6,000sqft location from 2,000 because we have no place left to put people. this is a round-about way of saying we are very busy. As far as I can tell, the only things we offer are coaching and community...so I suspect those value added items make our offerings at least 5-6x more valuable than training alone at a big box. All I can say is give it a shot and see if it's worth it.

The one thing that has stood out to me the most about watching Coach's videos is that he does not compromise his values. He speaks with 100% confidence and always has the knowledge to back up his statements. It is a constant reminder that we are participating in the best fitness program the world has to offer. A video like this reminds me not to take Crossfit for granted and to put the effort that this program deserves into each workout.

Canada wide CrossFit Total tomorrow. Lets get those scores up!

Bingo, #46, your post was priceless. Thanks for your musings. Not only was the video very emotional, reading the posts that everyone is writing adds to the emotion.

It is a great community.

The deadlift was 20 off my PR, though I did that on a DL only day, and I'm not sure the 385 would have qualified (I stopped on the way up).

And so begins a new chapter in the evolution of CrossFit. Thanks for everything Coach!

renewing my commitment to post here, too. did a double strength day today to catch up a little. did CFWUx2 (-dips, +pushups)

Shoulder Press (1RM 65#)
3-3-3-3-3
45-55 fx3-50-55-65 fx3

Back Squat (1RM 175#)
5-5-5-5-5
95-115-115-125-135 fx1

super-setted these and took a 4' break between sets. since they worked two entirely different muscle groups i figured it didn't harm anything. how different these lifts are for me -- SP, i have to NOT think and just walk up to the bar and go. BS, i have to spend my 4' rest visualizing my form and constantly think. also, i used the "girl" bar (15# bar) for SP to see if i could progress better. don't know if it helped. only failed on my last squat because i actually sat down on my little guide box. i can't hang clean 135, so i took the "f".

also, i am saddened by my regression in pullups. i have to renew focus to get them back. i am going to use bands now (as few as possible) in my warmup and work on kipping drills again. now that i can definitely do pullups every day, i think i'll get it back quickly.

The SP was very frustrating today. A few days ago heavier weight (for sets of three) was going up easy. Today...not so much!

Beautiful video...2 of my favorite bands, loads of my favorite people.

I made my first trip to CFHQ on March 10,'03. I had been following the WOD with Dave Werner up in Seattle but I had to make a pilgramage down to the place it started and...my life was transformed. Up to that point I was chasing a Phd but I knew I had to give CrossFit a go. About 9 months later CF NorCal was open in Chico, CA...but it all goes back to that first trip to Santa Cruz and the relationships that started that day.

Marines: You guys have always led the way and you were the first to REALLY embrace CF and run with it. You are ALL my heroes. I've never served but if I did, I'd have to be a Marine...otherwise Coach Burgner would kick my ass!

25 Squats

Yesterday...my time was 50 minutes, but was more or less just trying to accomplish it!

Way to emotional to say anything coherent about the video. This community is so great and caring...I have never been to an official Crossfit facility..just my little garage gym and I am sad to see CFHQ go.

Went to the local globo gym (haven't been in one in 2 years) to do the Total today because the last time I maxed out my weights at home.

I tried to rush it and it showed on the squat. Did one half*%$sed rep of 205 and failed on the second attempt. (205 is PR from before). Press was better and did 85, 115, 125(f). Dead 185, 205, 225 (PR). Warmed up with CFWU two rounds. Just pounded out the pullups and was very happy with that at least.

Total=545

Crossfitting since late '05 after reading NY Times article but rarely post.

Outstanding video. Echo sentiments of Lt Col Wilson and Mike that it feels like I've been at CFHQ all my life though I never stepped foot there.

Thanks to Coach and Lauren and all I've come to know through the site.

That was my first CFT. Just started in May and I love it. The WODs tend to be tougher than the all day workouts from my time in the police academy!

26/m/195.8 (couple of lbs lighter!!)

1014 lbs for my first total. Really pleased with this, definitely more in the tank but it's been over 6 months since i've squatted or pressed heavy or regular.

All witnessed by my CFNEE partner Kempie.

Breakdown

Squat 370lbs
Press 170lbs (went for 175 but missed)
Deadlift 474lbs

I took only two attempts at squat and dead as i'd set myself a goal earlier in the day.

It seems my faith in the good ol' Jamaican genes paid off. Happy days.

Just watched the video....wow. I train at Cross Fit affiliate, SPARK Sport Conditioning in Edmonton Alberta. It is a smaller gym just like the Santa Cruz location was. We have such a tight group of people that train there and our coach is such a great guy.....I can only imagine how hard that must have been for everyone involved. Good luck Camp Pendleton!

It's in the FAQ section, and a video demo is in the exercise description section.

The "official" CrossFit Warm-up is in the April 2003 CrossFit Journal.

3 rounds of 10-15 reps of
Samson Stretch (do the Samson Stretch once each round for 15-30 seconds)
Overhead Squat with broomstick
Sit-up
Back-extension
Pull-up
Dip
Note that for a workout that's dip or pullup-centric, you might want to do something else in the warmup.

CrossFit HQ did not shut down - they moved to a new location in March. http://www.crossfitsantacruz.com/crossfit_santa_cruz/2008/03/grand-opening-a.html

Hope you are well,

Hoping to be in the 1000lb. club by the end of the year. Have to get the squat and press higher.

Won't be around any amount of weight or a rack today so subbed a home workout using what I had available.

400M sprint
8 rounds for time of:
10 Bosu Pushups
5 30# DB Thrusters
10 Pilates style situps

Completed in 11:20

My 2 year old got a kick outta slapping me every rep of the situps. He actuall jumped on me during the pushups. Guess he thought it was a fun ride.
Toddlers simply aren't a good influence when exercising for time but it doesn't get much more fun then that! :)

GREAT VIDEO! CrossFit ROCKS!

Thanks for the kind words! It's definitely nice to hear from someone else outside our affiliate letting us know that they like the site. If you are trolling our website, please post to comments. We'd love to hear from some new voices out there.

Good luck with "Radio". It's quite the workout... I would venture to say it is almost on par with "Murph". Good luck and Thanks again.

Wow! I've been "sorta" doing CF for a couple of years, and recently a doctor expresssed surprise at the strength etc, exhibited by a 62 yr old who weighed over 300 lbs. The reason, of course, is what I learned on this site--and the constant incentive to catch up with the CF-ers who made the videos at HQ and elsewhere.l

When I first began to watch the video, I thought," what about Coach and Lauren? What about Nichole? Where are they going to go now? Then I realized it really doesn't matter where the phyhsical "plant: is--they'll always exemplify Crossfit-- no matter where the winds take them.

Thanks to Coach ,and all of you. I'm recovering from a surgery at the moment, and already starting to make strength gains and amazing weight loss--all because of Crossfit and the philosophy taught by Greg Glassman. In the words of my grandchildren--"you guys ROCK!"

Back Squat: 220 PR

Press: 85 x 2 for a warm up. Then I got interrupted and screwed up and couldn't finish. I'm pretty ticked off. I was looking for 100. I feel like I failed big time today.

Total 735 (Up from 637!)

Need to work more on shoulders. My stats don't seem to have the same ratio as alot of other CF'ers posting. Does this seem to be odd, or is it more common place than I'm thinking?

Also, I would like to thank Coach and Lauren for all they have done over the years. We are truly blessed.

I hope to make it up to CFCP soon and pay my respects to those who have gone before, for their legacy is a constant reminder to continually push our own limits.
