Yahooo!!!

this is gonna be rough

i like the sound of this one!

I was just watching a video about this one. Should be a blast. Thanks for the early post.

We've done this one before. I remember it really, really sucking.

Awesome!

SWEET VIDEO

Rowed 2600m Thats the longest I've ever stayed on a rower. Not so bad. I'm starting to like these outside workouts. Runs are much more fun on trails than dodging pedestrian traffic in the city. Nature isn't so bad. I like Arizona a lot.

Tonight were doing the squat workout from the other day. Fun stuff.

thrusters, pull-ups, metcon...love it!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, this one is a ton of fun. Hoping to better my prior run at this with the bfkip.

CapeCodDave: where are you on the Cape? We will be visiting in July, would love to meet up.

Wow Eva!

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

Nice!!! Thanks for the early post. Since the pullup bar is in between 2 of those stupid cable curl machines I'm sure I'll piss of a few people in the gym when I get off my shift.

Woah, Eva's looking mighty fierce in that pic. Will she compete this year?????

Very inspiring video! Thanks!

Three words "Wholly Abs Eva"

Wow - Been waiting for the thrusters to make an appearance! 3..2..1..Go!

Just when you think it's not possible: Eva gets even more beautiful.

New screen saver for me!!!

cool. didn't get to do this one last time.

freddy c.

wow! just wow. i'm talking about the double unders. you were right about the comic relief comment the other day. i think i can help you out...but i'll have to stop laughing first.:)

this looks like an awesome workout, can't wait to do it.

Has anybody here heard of this P90X workout? It's supposed to chisel your body in like 12 weeks or something like that. I think it's only purpose is to get a great body as fast as possible. It has no purpose of strengthening your body for functional movements, like crossfit. I tried explaining this to a friend who tried it who said it's a killer workout. I went into a bit more detail than this, but I couldn't get the point across. Is there any way of explaining to him why crossfit is much better? I'm going to get him to come down to Crossfit Pittsburgh with me soon to prove it to him, but I just want to explain to him the major differences. Thanks to anyone who responds.

HOLY RIPPED TO PIECES EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Good Stuff!

1st month doing Crossfit and I am digging the burns. Very stoked tomorrow I'm going to kill it or make it kill me!

#20,

Doesn't seeing the P90X plan cost money? Crossfit is free, so there you go =D

Freddy C. are you part Irish? Put some arms into those box jumps!!

I SUCKED TODAY!!! I DESRVED to be KICKED BY THR "GREAT SECRETERIET" THE ONLY TRU TRIPLE C

Eva.. Damn girl, Looking strong!

Could someone please tell me the name and artist of the first song on this video, I started to get pumped up :D

SPEAL!!! Get your walker ready again. This is gonna be a rough one.

Anybody doing the crossfit thing in the Gulf Breeze/Navarre area? Any word on the Pensacola site starting up?

A walker might not be enough. I'm thinking a wheelchair or maybe highjacking a scooter from walmart!

now THAT was a GREAT video (and i never use caps). i miss the videos with eva, annie, nicole, jolie, greg a, brendan etc in them..this one hit the spot! eva and jolie you two ladies look amazing, thanks again for the inspiration.

freddy, i'm with ken- guess you weren't messin around when you said double unders are your weakness. ;-) you are still a badass. great to see austin, and dave in a video. and adrian is amazing per usual. was that tony's fine coaching in the background? :-)

resting friday, will do this wod on saturday, i love this one.

Boz isn't human!

20 Keith D

Let me know what you find out. I have a friend doing the same thing. I know it's a whole lot of jumping around in your living room watching a video. I know they do a lot of curls too. Problem is he's VERY happy with the way he looks now and how much his endurance has improved (he's a soccer player). We gotta figure out what to tell these guys.

Maybe we should just have them do this WOD which I call Fran Practice.

Fantastic WOD and video. You guys all looked great.

Eva...you look great!

from what i understand p90x is very crossfit-like...which means its still better than 90% of the workout plans out there...i think u should be more concerned w/ converting the treadmill walkers =)

That pic of Eva is yet another reason to stay in The Zone

36 Sam F

Yeah I'm going to get them too. But this guy is SO committed to his P90X and SO willing to stare Pukie right in the face every day that I know he'd be a great CrossFitter and would fit in real well at GSX Fort Worth.

Another Great workout. We now have 7 people in our group and they have made great progress to their goals. We train out of our home and have enjoyed crossfit.

Eva is just flat out BEAUTIFUL!!

#20, and #38

I checked out the P90x website, and remember seeing an infomercial about it. It combines light weights and high reps, basically like a step class with weights. A good workout to get you winded and ripped, but very much lacking in the strength department, from what I gather.

Excellent workout vid! When are we gonna see that one (scaled for the individual) for the WOD. I wanna do that. I will look like Freddy C. tho doing those double unders. Gotta work on those. You're not alone Freddy!

Awesome.

Gonna hurt so good. I'm thinking: thrusters, easy (early); pullups, hard (long time).

I'm hoping for double digits. I'll take whatever I get.

Keith D:

I think the main difference between P90X and CF is in the goals.

With CrossFit, form follows function. Athletes train to be well rounded in all areas of fitness (general physical preparedness/GPP). We train using functional lifts at high intensities with constant variety. We train to be able to perform well in a variety of situations; our training reflects real world challenges faced by athletes, as well as military/police/fire personnel. Looking good results from hard training, but that's not the main goal here.

The marketing of P90X is all about form - looking good. Of course, there's a lot of interest in that. Most people don't have a goal to be functionally fit; they want to look good in a swimsuit, and that's fine. Looking at their site, there are a few isolation movements (flyes/curls/lat raises), and the videos (at least what I've seen on TV) have the feel of the typical "cardio class." There is a focus on "muscle confusion," with varied training modalities, and there is the idea of a recovery phase similar to that proffered here (3 on 1 off, reducing intensity 50% week 4, etc.)

Their surrogate markers for improvements in fitness (per the website) are interesting. They focus on improvments in push-ups, pull-ups, wall squats, leg lifts, toe stretch, and HR recovery. First, there is no indication of whether push-up/pull-up numbers are max reps or for time (1 min? 2 min?) Second, what the hell is a wall squat for time, and who cares how many leg lifts you can do? They do post some decent gains in these areas of fitness with P90X, and it is better than nothing. However, in a "hopper" scenario, I believe a CrossFitter would blow a P90X'er out of the water. This is reflective of what matters in training - application to real world scenarios, whether in sport, your profession, or everyday life.

In addition, their dietary focus is different. They use a three phase approach, with a high-protein diet, followed by a mix of protein and carbs, followed by a higher carbohydrate diet. All phases are inferred by me to be low fat. Once again, their goal is to "get you ripped." Compare this with the Zone/Paleo Zone advocated by CF, its balance of macronutrients, and its impact on performance and longevity. Once again, CF's focus is on function - eating for health and performance; "getting ripped" follows.

I don't think P90X is evil; it's better than no exercise/diet/lifestyle modification at all, and it's probably better than most other fitness programs. However, CF is superior in its goals and its results.

If that doesn't convince him, just tell him that any program that uses dumbbell curls, flyes, and lateral raises is for wankers.

#27
I got pumped with the LoG intro too.
Lamb Of God - As the Palaces Burn - 10 - Vigil

unless you meant Kansas - Dust in the wind?..

P90X is like Crossfit-lite on a starvation diet. it's not a bad workout, lots of pullups, quick pace, but Crossfit is definitely heads above. I have done both (Crossfit for about 2 years) and when my coworkers were sucking wind and dropping out of the P90X workouts, I was cruising along trying to break a sweat. I'm trying to use it as a stepping stone to Crossfit for others who are dead-set on P90X...P90X is a 90 day program, so what do we do after the 90 is up...Crossfit!!

Just watched the video...

Nice to see the stars getting it done!

This to me is what this Crossfit stuff is all about...

Walking the Walk!

Well done folks.

Great Effort by everyone...Eva you are looking SMOKING HOT!!! YEOW!

One of the Soldiers Killed last Tuesday in Afganistan was Vic Reeves. He was a friend and brother in arms. I haven't seen him in a couple of years - I felt sick when I just found out.

He was a good soldier and a good man. God be with you all - at home and abroad.

It was an IED which caused his loss - stay switched on - keep fighting the good fight.

Come home in one piece. God bless UKSF

actually its eagles dust in the wind not Kansas but you were close. And the other song is vigil by lamb of god. You gotta love that intro.

#27, #40, #44

I think the song is "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkbdP7sq0w8

Tony B. is the man. He actually made me look slightly better than the awful that I was. Adrian carried me big time through that WOD. He is such a beast.

That was a great weekend of lunchtime WODs!

P.S.- I hit 18 double unders in a row the other day. WooHoo! (I still hate them)

I have a question. Does anyone else seem to have a large difference in weight in regards to their 1 rep max for dead lift and back squat? My 1RM for DL is 405 but my 1RM for BS is only 315. Just wondering what the disparity is about. Didn't know if it was normal (slightly different ROM with the lifts) or if they should be closer due to the mutual muscle groups/similar ROM involved.

#53 the good shepherd

I think quite of few of us are in the same boat, it just simply means that we have to work in creating balance. Also its my opinion that for the deadlifts you have a lot my asisting muscles so I think you are ok..just keep focus and work on making them even or at least closer to being even...I could be wrong. dont fret you are doing fine.....:o)

Eva wow!

you look so freakin awesome! wow just beautiful. seriously.......

This should be fun. Me and the guys were going to do "Fran Friday" but this should be close. Cant wait for San Diego in July. Im so ready to bring CF to Flower Mound/Highland Village/Lewisville area.

3..2...1...GO!

That's hot!

Ken D. How do I get somemone who is on the P90X workout and diet to try crossfit?

Ken, tell any person who is doing P90X that it is a good prep for crossfit and to try it after he/she is done with the 90 day P90X cycle.

Pete NZ comment 49, I am sorry for your loss, its a loss for all of us. May Vic Reeves and his family find peace.

The Good Shepard comment 53: Hey, my dead lift and squat seem disproportionate? Am I weak?

Actually, Its hard to tell without knowing your body weight so I used 200 pounds for you. If you do weigh 200 lbs than your dead lift is between intermediate and advanced and with a squat of 315 you are in the same range between intermediate and advanced. From here, you look well rounded. There is a chart in Rip's book, starting strength that has all of the figures that you are looking for.

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

That was a motivational video in every aspect. Jolie and Eva T. setting the example as badasses and Freddy C. making us all feel better about our Double unders. Thanks guys!

#58 Billy

Thanks for the input. I meant to put my stats but forgot to. As it is: m/72in/182lb/32yrs The question wasn't necessarily 'am i weak' but more 'is this a normal spread considering the two lifts are functionally similar'. I think Lee may be on the right track in that with DL's there are more assisting muscles. Quick question, with my weight being lower than you estimated does that mean I'm in the advanced/advanced group?(everyone wants to feel special) :) Thanks again for the help.

Blessings to Vic Reeve's family. His strength, honor and sacrafice will never be forgotten.

Fantastic video! Great motivation...and once again, after watching such an awesome display, I feel so...so...puny...thank you.

Train hard!

I've seen CrossFit Sonoma do this one a lot earlier than late April 08. Last year or early this winter/spring; I think sometime when I stopped by for the adult class that happened that crossover'd at the same time as the CrossFit late night class at that gymnastics gym.

It looked disgusting and I remember asking Danny S if it was some mutant form of Fran.

Good Shepard, comment 60: Am I special :>)

Well, a 181 lbs advanced lifter who is not a specialist should do:

Shoulder Press: 164lbs
Back Squat: 367lbs
Dead Lift: 438lbs
Bench Press: 275lbs
Power Clean: 264lbs

a 181 pound intermediate lifter who is not a specialist should do:

Shoulder Press: 138lbs
Back Squat: 269lbs
Dead Lift: 315lbs
Bench Press: 201lbs
Power Clean: 194lbs

Your 405lbs dead lift and your 315lbs squat at 182lbs of body weight puts you right in-between intermediate and advanced which means that you are pretty proportionate as a lifter for these two lifts. If you are in the same area for the other lifts mentioned then you are a well rounded athlete who is not specialized.

So, you're special and not specialized :>)

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

Ouch, metcon hell coming right up. Light weight, short reps - the only reason to stop is that you are staring at your lungs on the floor ...

65lb thrusters - that's just a 10lb'er on each end of an oly bar cos we count the weight of the bar too. Drop down into a deep squat with the bar in the rack position, drive up out of the hole with enough momentum to drive the bar overhead till you are wearing your shoulders like ear-muffs. Rinse, lather and repeat.

Pull-ups - kip them or otherwise get em done as fast as poss. Full stretch at the bottom, head over bar at the top

Cheers, kempie

We ended up doing FRAN today so I think I will skip this one. Also I did FRAN in 7:37 today. It is no 2 minute FRAN, but my last on just over a month ago was 10:04 and at the cert in April I didn't even finish it as Rx'd. John from Agoge switched it to 65# half way through and I finished in 9:40 scaled. So I think I am making excellent progress.

Now what to do today....

This is by far one of the most painful WODs ever, it had me walking funny for the 5 following days...

It's time to get it on !

totally excited about this one. i'll be gassing in no time.

man do i love me some OHS. its all i can do right these days.

Great video..
Impressive efforts. It's good to see so many CFcelebs in the same WOD.
Jolie and Eva are so beautiful :)

No thrusters or pull-ups for me this day - something else will make pukie slap my face. It's midsummer's eve over here in Sweden.

Take care!

Thursday's WOD (My first CFT since starting crossfit!):

Back Squat: 325

Shoulder Press: 175

Deadlift: 295

Shouldn't your deadlifts usually be more than your squats? I feel so WEAK! :(

25m 5'8" 215lbs

i found crossfit a couple of days ago - this was my first ever WoD-

5 sets of 65lb thrusters
4 sets pullups (last 2 sets were jumping/negatives)

i'm still trembling half an hour later...

Re: Comment #20:

I'm here in Afghanistan with my ODB and we're split between guys doing P90X, guys doing their own version of Crossfit/GymJones, and me doing the straight Crossfit WOD. I told the guys doing P90X to measure their performance increases vs. mine and then decide which they think will work better for them. We'll see who can hang longer on combat patrols...

deadlift should always be more than your squat. anytime i see someone's deadlift and squat being about the same i think either their deadlift is weak or they're not getting the correct depth on their squat.

Question:

Need some advice in regards to epicondylitis. Been re-occuring over the past year. Docs tell me to rest, ice, compression, elevation & anti inflammatories. Been doing all of that. Then try to do pull ups again - it flares up all over again.

Anyone have any other TTPs that worked for them. ATT I can't do pull ups & it's holding up my ability to train.

Thanks,

#20 Chad, Here is why I picked crossfit over P90X:
1. Crossfit is free!
2. In crossfit, the workouts take only as long as you make them
3. In P90X, if you wanna look like that, you have to follow their strict diet.
4. Their diet plans, like many other popular workout/diet plans assume you have a high in grocery store like many that are found in Laguna Beach.
5. If those results were that real, why isn't it the only thing in workout mags?
6. Who the heck wants to have to listen to that douche count and talk while you work out
7. after watching the video 2-3 time you memorize the work outs, sounds like a bunch of money just wasted.

Finally, look at the people in the crossfit pics and videos, those are real people and real results.

Tell your friend to stop being a bigot. Granted, they are entitled to their own opinion, but listening to others and being open minded not only makes you learn and grow as a person, it makes you not look like a baby. Or, it could just be that they know your right, and they don't wanna admit they wasted hundreds of dollars.

This WOD is not going to be fun. My butt is still hurting from the walking lunges the other day.

LAST DAY IN IRAQ!

Been operating 24 hours behind on WOD's since starting this CrossFit thing full time 2 1/2 months ago...so I front-loaded this today immediately following the "CrossFit Total" workout, since I will spend the next 24 hours traveling across the world.

I did P90x for 2 months.
this is my 2nd month of crossfit.

Crossfit is by far the best fitness theory/program/experience I've ever done. However, any and all P90x nay-sayers should go out of their way to try the first 2 DVD's. Sure, Tony Horton is an imbecile and the marketed goal is aesthetic, but the chest and back DVD is essentially Cindy training. I'm actually having a friend do P90x for a few weeks before he joins the local affiliate (hudson valley).

comment 43#
for a wall sqaut.
go to a wall. face the other way and drop into a squat position (landing at 90 degrees with your back against the wall) stay in this supported position as long as possible. You make fun, but if Coach added this to a WOD, there would be a lot of positive chatter on the boards.(think one-legged wall squats in a Fight Gone Bad scenario)

My dead-hang pullup stats:
Pre P90x-10
Post P90x-14
2 months Crossfit- 25

In closing,
P90x is for that guy at the bar who keeps looking at his reflection in the mirror. Crossfit is for the guy who beats him up (and then hoists him overhead and sprints to the nearest hospital).

Thanks Coach!

Holy sexy! That's why I love the CrossFit.

P90X is an ineluctable facet of our success (that's what the lawyers say about all our derivative/parasitic imitators, even the friendly ones. We turned down the infomercial "opportunity" at the heart of P90X's successes. We'll turn it down again.

If anyone is unsure whether to try P90X, Gym Jones, Ross Boxing, Monkey Bar Gym,...or to do CrossFit, our answer has long been an unequivocal, "do us last".

Get in the best shape you possibly can doing anything and everything else, then and only then come around. This is easiest on us and you. It's a direct route to your potential without doubling back. When you arrive here, recheck old workouts from your travels and you'll find that you can crush your old PR's.

To comment #110 a roden, my workout partner subbs jumping chinups.

I tried the p90x last summer before I knew CrossFit existed. I was about two months in and somehow stumbled onto CrossFit surfing the web. I packaged up the p90x sold it on ebay and used the money to outfit my garage gym and have been doing CF since September.

As said above, it is a good prep for CF but blows it away in the overall fitness gains and solid thinking behind the training.

Just wish I had been turned onto CF long ago.

Body type has a lot to do with how your deadlifts and squats compare. Rip states this over and over. I am someone whose squat is about 90% of my deadlift. I am 69", 165lbs, wear size 30 inseam...short legs, long torso. Short legs help a lot in a low bar back squat. I bet a lot of guys with long legs, have a much different ratio of deadlift to back squat.

Yesterday, I PR'd back squat at 350 and DL'd 375 (15lbs under PR). I squat to a pad 11" off the ground. In this position, my patella is 19" above the ground, hip crease 18" off the ground.

9 rounds (45# thrusters, 5 overhand pull-ups from standing & 5 chin-ups on high bar, not full arm extension)

I started Crossfit two months ago and have been doing nothing but the WODs. I took my Marine Corps PFT today. I added two dead-hang pullups (20 to 22) and dropped almost 45 seconds off my run (21:40 to 20:57). But the improved score is a sideshow to the improvements I've seen in every aspect of my fitness, and my general feeling of wellbeing. Thanks Coach!

Has CrossFit ever heard of video compression? These files are huge.

Can I do thrusters with a straight bar? Also what is a good substitution for pull-ups? Im out of town and dont have access to dumbells or a pull up bar. I guess I could use a tree branch

first, about the video. this now ranks in my favorite videos -- nicole doing linda, nasty girls and today's video. why those? because crossfit is humbling. to EVERYONE. i loved hearing nicole talk about "just finishing" linda and her struggling to get those muscle-ups in nasty girls and today watching eva struggle and freddy's double-unders -- they struggle. just like me.

it reminds me of something i read at againfaster:

"The men and women that decimate your times are not superhuman. They’re not particularly genetically gifted. Hell, most of the top CrossFitters in the world would get absolutely pummeled in your standard game of rugby, buried by larger athletes begat by larger parents.

What differentiates these individuals is not a gift, but an unreasonable desire to push self-imposed suck beyond its logical limits. What comes out the other side becomes legendary."

thanks, Jon. thanks, coach.

here's to self-imposed suck!

CFWUx1 (-pullups)

10 rounds even

subs: 35# Thr; rd 1-4 with 2 small red elastic bands, next 5 reps with one purple, one red, rest jumping pullups.

switched pullups because i wanted to keep this a metcon workout. i think i should have gotten 12 rds, lost time futzing with the bands and lost some focus around 7-8 rds. also, i thought i was cheating BIG TIME with 35#, especially because i only took a pause 3 times through all the thrusters. i feel pretty good about this. i almost convinced myself to not do the WOD this morning, but then i said "suck it up, buttercup."

happy weekend everybody!

10 rounds and 1 extra thruster

Rest cycle for me (in honor of "Lovely Daughter's graduation party).

CapeCodDave: will do.

Oooooo, Coach...ineluctable...careful, someone may drop the dreaded "self-important words" epitaph on you ;=) !

10, 11 or 12. Really lost track. Probably 11 with 10 thrusters (30kg). This one was fun, the thrusters were not to bad, pullups bad after like 30 as allways.

wow, thanks for the perfect video. it offered some much needed motivation/pumping up.

and eva, you are just awesome. seriously. thanks for being a great example.

#130 Jacob, not sure if supposed to or not but straight bar worked for me. front squat helps my snatch and overhead squat... hard work will help my pull-up...but that's another story ;) Go get 'em

15 rounds..... not to bad for the second crossfit workout i've done

24m/5'9/145

7 rounds plus 1 set of thrusters. I had to drop 10 lbs off the bar for rounds 6 and 7 because my right knee was pinching at the bottom of the movement.

I'm still happy I was able to do 5 rounds rx'd at 145lbs bw. Had I scaled like I usually do I'd probably have hit 10 rounds.

The video was great motivation, rock on!

did butterfly pull-ups on split bar neutral grip

compare to last time with regular pull-ups i did much better. previous 6.5 rounds
today 11 rounds and 5 thrusters
butterflies may look fast but the energy, my arms and core are feeling it.
thrusters felt easy today not one breakdown in those. loved it.

This didn't feel good today. Thrusters were fine, but I felt very winded and my pullups were broken up after the 3rd round.

14 rounds + 10 thrusters + 3 pullups - this is exactly one round LESS than last time. To think I was shooting for 18 today, ha!!

My arms HURT in a way beyond soreness and its been going on for the last week or so. I may cut to a 50% cycle next week...

The last time I did this one I wrote:

"8 rounds +5 Thrusters.

I need to get better at pullups."

I am a lot better at pullups now. This is going to be a good one. I can't wait!

Dutch and Isaiah and my son Matt are making me push myself harder so I don't look like an old man.
Thanks Coach
I'm almost totally rehabbed from my knee surgery.
Legs feel great.
I love being able to say I did the WOD each day.
Once you get there you never want to go back to normal again.

I'd appreciate any feedback from trainers or coach -

I noticed in the past couple of days that I've been prone to muscle cramps (quad & calves) during WODs or training BJJ.

Any ideas like hydration issues, or just typical training soreness? I don't think its nutritional, as I'm pretty locked in with the Zone and have been for 8+ months.

FWIW - I train in a garage gym so typical temp is 95+. So maybe its environmental?

Thanks for any replies.

12 rounds + 6 Thrusters

Last time did 10 rounds with 65# Thrusters.

Arms and shoulders feel weak today from doing "Grace" yesterday.

I'm not completely sure but i think that the gym i work out at doesn't have the soft medicine balls people use for thrusters. What would a suitable replacement be? Would a regular flat bench work? Or one of the smaller balls people use for abs and push up balance work?

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Coach stole my thunder! I was going to suggest letting your friend complete the entire P90X program then offer to do 3-4 of the P90X workouts with him and have him do 3-4 WODs with you. If you completely smoke him at both, point made--and no need to remind him how much he paid for his DVD's...

Comment #70 - Posted by: AJ

Having a higher squat isnt bad, seeing how you started with a good squat in weight, you may have just been tired and un-able to use the hip drivee for the deadlift. Next CFT, try doing your deadlift before you squat and see how it differs.

You are all insane, and i love it...

I have been reading and coming up to speed, i will start with my first WOD Monday. When i get back in town.

I am pumped about getting started, wish me luck

If you are 60 years old and got 11 rounds, i'll use that as motivation for sure. I don't want to ever be beaten by someone 40yrs older than me, UNLESS you are indeed the hulk. Other than that, the WOD should go smoothly.

Pull-ups suck. I can't stand not being able to do pull-ups. Next summer I will build a pull-up stand that I can kip on since every pull-up bar that i have access to is to low for me to kip on (6'4" tall).. legs hit ground... almost knees

I did six......
I kept slipping off the pullup bar so I used the beam on a smith machine to do military pullups. That was pretty hard!!! That was the best six I've ever done. I waisted a little time but still got a killer workout. Smith machine is good for something!!!!

Before I started crossfit in winter '04, I was doing Body by Fish (trainforstrength.com). I actually found out about crossfit somehow through the guy's website. I was impressed that the workouts got me in relatively good shape, even though I wasn't eating very well, and had just come back from a deployment where I had actually gotten fat and out of shape by eating too much AF chow and doing bodybuilder routines. I got leaner and stronger, had more energy and such, and when I found crossfit, I was able to pretty much get right into the WOD's. The first time I did Cindy I got 20 rounds, which I thought wasn't too bad for a first timer, so I think Fish was a good base-builder for crossfit.

I've since changed crossfit to my primary routine with the Fish routines as a supplement every once in awhile. This really isn't an advertisement or anything, but Fish is good for times that you're traveling and don't have access to a gym to do the WOD's, it costs way less than P90X, doesn't require access to a DVD player and TV, and Fish's voice doesn't make you want to punch something like P90X guy's does. (The smarmyness of the P90X guy is overwhelming, IMHO.) I have Fish loaded on my iPod, and can pretty much do the workouts anywhere I can find a 8 ft x 4 ft patch of space. I've done many a workout in between beds in hotel rooms. I can't testify to the effectiveness of the P90X system, however, since it pretty much sits on a shelf (as I anticipated it would), but I'm sure if you stay with it and eat right that you'll look great, and probably wouldn't have too hard a time transitioning to crossfit.

Very tough mentally, and WAY too much beer last night listening to my sister play her fiddle at a local Irish music session. It was fun last night, not so much today ...

First time doing WOD, just heard about the program this week. I used to do a similar routine The Ultimate Underground Training Manual. I thought 20 minutes no problem. I was wrong it kicked the @#$! out of me but loved it anyway.

I have been doing crossfit for about 3 weeks now. It is the best. My legs and shoulders were so exhausted from the CFT. I was whipped on the first set. I think i did a total of 7 or maybe 6 i was so f'n out of it. My weak point are the thrusters, I did the pullups no prob. Those thrusters are so deadly even with 65#'s. I can't wait for my 6 month mark to see how much i improved. doctom

this time for 30 minutes without stopping. I can't even believe I did it. It wasn't bad at all.

I feel like I have so much energy and I don't know where it came from or what to do with it.

Re; advice for elbow epicondylitis
I had brutal lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) last year-this is what I did to get rid of it:
1. see a physiotherapist-and do what they advise: it will be a period of rest followed by gradual return to activity when pain free
2. wear an elbow brace for all WOs, these are available in drug stores and they really work
3. massage the tender spot hard for 2-3 mins after all excercise: this seems to prevent it coming back
antinflammatory drugs do nothing, icing helps a bit
it took about 3 months for mine to get better
good luck

Did this in my garage, bought a bar, so I was able to do thrusters and had already put up a bar for chins, although this bent when I was using it. I need a stronger bar or need to lose weight.

#251

Yes you can wear gloves, but if you do be aware of a couple of things:
a)hardcores will make fun of you
b)you will lose a sense of connection with the bar
If you don't care about those things and would rather not have ripped up hands you can find gloves at pretty much any sporting store.
Personally, I have a pumice stone that I use on my callouses to make sure they don't get too big and then tear and as well if I am doing a workout like todays where there is going to be lots of pullups or knees to elbows I will tape my hands up before I even start to prevent problems. If you look at the picture from a couple of days ago of the two young kids on the pullup bars they have a good tape job going.

GET GLUCOSTMINE IT WILL NOT WORK SHORT TERM, BUT WILL WORK IN THE LONG RUN.. I HAD TENNIS ELBOW, AND IT WOULD HURT JUST TO GRAB SOMEONES ARM. AFTER TAKING GLUCOSTINE I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS. ICE THE ELBOW AND MASSAGE DOWN THE ELBOW. STRETCH IT OUT BY PULLING UR HAND BACK FROM UR FINGERS.

If you are worried about tearing your hands, use lifting straps...improves your grip and also looks more hardcore !

By the way, fantastic job on the video, Tony.

(Great job by the athletes too, of course)

7 rounds, first two at 55# the rest at 65# but with broken sets. I think that I underestimated myself today as I definitely could have done them all as rx'd. Arrgh!
I have a question: my wrists started to hurt after 4 or so sets so is this normal until one becomes more conditioned to the exercise?
I finally did my first couple of overhead squats with the bar and not the broomstick. Woohoo!

i was thinking about doing Fran all day yesterday and this morning, then checked the WOD about 30 min before workout to see this one. well i decided to Fran anyways since its almost the same and ive done them both, but was psyched about Fran.

Fran as rx'd:

about one sec faster than last time... i was hopin for more, even brought the ipod and had rage against the machine goin.

Of course I post right after OPT.

13 rounds as Rxd.

Kind of disappointed. I feel like I should be able to do every round in 1:30 and get 15 rounds. I tried to do this while fasting and at the end of a 5 day cycle, but no excuses. If I was doing this next to someone I'll bet the motivation alone would have gotten me to 14 rounds.

And I was mostly doing pull-ups broken into 7 then 3. All thrusters unbroken.

9Rs plus 10 thruster and 5 PU

Iam not happy i missed 10.

I was sucking wind.

Just posted, but forgot to mention that the video was what got me going today. Been upping my training dose with mtb runs, mornings or evenings, and it's really sapping me. So thanks to everyone involved in that fine source of inspiration!

#291 I still consider myself a newbie, but I would say that straps are counterproductive. You will gain pulling strength while stagnating in grip strength. This will imho set you back in all pulling/grip-intense movements and make you suffer greatly when doing WOD like "Gwen".

thanks for the info. maybe I will try taping first. don't want hardcores making fun of me. :)

8 rds.

In Phoenix-style heat right here in Aptos, CA. Avg HR 170, peak 184, rec. 53, and just like in the heat of Scottsdale and the altitude in Chester, my 175 HR felt like my usual 195 HR. Starting to enjoy the "butterfly" pullups.

This is the first WOD I've done since doing SS for a month.

11 rounds and I feel great, my pullups are what held me back somewhat.

23/F/144

45# bar for thrusters

10 rounds, even

All thrusters done unbroken, but the pullups got really split up by the end. Started with sets of 4-5, finished the last round almost completely with singles (all kips, though). I blame it on my deviation from the Zone last night - pizza. I've felt like crap all day. Bet I would have had 12 rounds without the substandard substrates :)

Hands ripped a little.

This is my 2nd day of doing Crossfit. Did 8 rounds today. Awesome workout!

could be OBE by now, but the 23 Jun issue of Navy Times features Crossfit and the article shows CrossFit's own Andy Stumpf; have not read the article yet, but take look over the next couple of days to see when it hits the stands, may also be reviewable on Navy Times online.

I don't appreciate all the objectifying of women on this site. As a male, our society is saturated enough with this garbage of talking about women and their bodies as if they're nothing but chattel and exist for our adolescent pleasure. So let's stop all this "Eva's got a hot body" talk. Besides didn't you see that hot chick she was working out with? What a PIECE!

Really feeling it in my quads right now. Hopefully can walk tomorrow.

cfwux2 -pull-ups/ Ghd sit ups, added 10 knees to elbows and a few kipping swings to warm up my shoulders. I also am working on transitioning my push ups to more of a triceps push up to help me with my dips.

Had Nick there to cheer me on, thankfully!

I used 45# bar

Total reps 10 +5 thrusters, I was "DONE" at 19:35 didn't have enough in me to get anymore out. Lol.

45# was the correct weight for me. Didn't have to break it up until set 4 or 5 with 7 at a time and then the rest.

Very proud of my progress. Last time I used 25# and I had to go back to negatives on the PU's. This time, I was knocking out 10 in a row half the time and breaking it up at around 7 it seemed for the rest. Same thing for the thrusters. I SOOOO WANTED to go down to the 35# bar I set up incase I failed at any thrusters. Nick kept me going at 45# and made sure I was getting my full squats! Lol Nice to have someone cheer you on.THANK YOU NICK!
My awesome husband usually does that but with the kids home from school we alternate our times at the gym. I'm so glad CF is catching on now at our gym so we both end up working out with at least one other Crossfitter. ;-)

My arms are now noodles again, yeah! I know that means I worked my max and will be stronger for it the next time.

Did anybody see the article from the Wall street Journal: "The Journal's Top 10 [Male Athletes in the World]"?

(W/F safe!) http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/info-GREATEST08.html

HOW THEY DID IT: "We gave the performance stats and achievement records of 79 male athletes to a panel of 5 judges, and asked them to rank the competitors based on six criteria: speed; vision and reflex; stamina and recovery; coordination and flexibility; power, strength and size; and success and competitiveness. [Hmmm...sounds a lot like the CrossFit standards!] The final category examined success—records held and victories—as well as competitiveness, based on the sport's popularity. Soccer, for example, the world's most popular sport, was judged the most competitive. The panel gave a total score for each athlete in the first round. Sixty athletes were eliminated in the second round, either because of low scores or because they were not first in their field. Our panelists then made the final ranking. Yale statistician John Emerson helped normalize the scores so no single panelist could exert undue influence."

AND THE WINNER IS: Czech DECATHLETE(!!) Roman Sebrle. Keep on CrossFitting, people!

Did Tuesday's shoulder press WO yesterday, so shoulders were killing me on the thrusters. Doesn't help that my wrists were all messed up from practicing my front rack. Despite this, thrusters felt a lot stronger than last time I did them.

I was headed to pullup bar when time was up.
Better than last time by 3 thrusters!

As rx 13 rounds

I ripped my hand on this one about 11 rounds in. I think it's cuz my kip is getting better, and my body moves in a kind of circular motion, putting more torque on my hands. My callous just turned into a big blister, then ripped.

Shelley: f/35/5'10/132

Used power rack bar for thrusters 5# or so

8 measley rounds...I have got to learn the kip because the pull ups killed me!

So I got about 4 hrs of sleep last night and decided to do a rushed workout today...About half way through I noticed I had 10kgs on the bar instead of 10lbs, for my thrusters, but I finished it anyways.

wussed out after 10 min and 5 rounds.

8 rounds, even.

Thrusters felt great, unbroken each set.
PUs felt better than expected but not great. Spent the morning watching all the kipping videos. They were a help. It's amazing how much a difference stringing kipping PUs back to back makes. One kip makes a Pull up easier, but having the rhythm and coordination to continuously string them together makes all the difference. I got five good ones in a row a couple different times today. Felt great. Maybe could have kept going if I wasn't so surprised with myself.

10 minute break.

7 minute 20k kb jerk set - 47R/46L. Good on both sides. Forearm bone bruising from where the bell sits in the rack causing pain.

Wow, thanks to all who responded to my comment. I actually didn't think I would even get one good response and here I got like 10 great ones. Thanks.

I'll be going to Crossfit Pittsburgh tomorrow to do all todays and tomorrows workouts. Maybe I'll bring him along to suffer through the pain.

For epicondylitis, find a myofascial / or active release doctor in your area. should take roughly 6-8 treatments to get better, depending on how long you have had it. Any questions let me know, I treat it in college and pro- tennis players quite a bit this time a year. Also, when the pain is decreased focus on developing grip strength with towel pull ups or rope climbs, and stretch your forearms often.

6 rounds, but with 95# thrusters. Nearly killed me. 95 was a bad idea.

First day back in it after being out for 3 weeks. Tore my ab muscles real good. I'm all good now after too much freakin rest. It was killing me not being able to do these WODs. And being out that long, my pullup strength went way downhill. Thursters were a breeze today though. Keep on keepin on.

I am finally getting a kip going, but I would say I am just barely getting my chin above the bar on most of them (and a lot probably wouldn't make the cut)....I was really losing my gourd by the end.

13 Rounds + 10 Thrusters

First time to post comment. I had surgery back in December to repair slap and posterior labral tears in my left shoulder. About 3 months ago my rehab guy turned me on to CrossFit. Hot damn! I didn't know I wasn't really training before. I'm a total convert now getting everyone I can to do the wods with me. Anyways, the shoulder's almost 100% and I'm in the best shape of my life (which is saying a lot).

happy training...

Fatigued after 10 rounds. All unbroken except for 2 pull up sets. Thrusters getting better by keeping the elbows up when descending and pushing torso and head through as soon as the bar clears my forehead.

Earned my 10th client today in 20 days. Having a great time training clients. At this pace, I will grow out of my garage in a short time.

No warmup today. Subbed as follows: jumping pullups and 55# thrusters (I thought I added a 10 to each side and didn't realize that they were fives until the workout was over. Like my dad always says, 'haste makes waste'.)

I just didn't have intensity today. my penalty for dicking off last night. I could have gone way faster.

on a more happy note, Komrade Fialkov coached me to a 110 clean. A PR for Komrade Nikita. The Party is well pleased, and will reward Komrade Fialkov with membership in the Order Of Stalin.

7 rounds, 10 thrusters in 15min before the pullup bar broke. 1st time with this wod. Tore a callous on round 2 and that took a little wind out of my sails. Felt horrible all around.

was able to get 7 full rounds after walking 18 holes on the golf course. feel like i could get more fresh.

9 Rounds.

Started hop-pullups after 3 rounds and my thrusters/pullups became pretty choppy by the end. Many segments. Boo.

Great work out though.

i still got a ways to go.

um yeah, that video was awesome.

Yay! Good for you and your brother. Now, spell "you're" correctly next time and you get the daily prize. Go ahead, dis me. I didn't even get 14 rounds. Regardless, I don't gloat and I don't rub it in for those who fared worse. Hmmm, what's the word, oh yeah, humility. Sadly trumped by my irritation with you. I guess we're even.

6 and 10 thrusters

Sounds like hydration and electrolytes big time. Based on the temperature in your work space I'd focus on making sure you're hydrated going in, during and after so the next day doesn't suck. Cramps like that are a big indicator of hydration issues.

I am just toasticles. I made up a one WOD on the last rest day and I made up another WOD after CFT yesterday and now my shoulders are just tired. Today was brutal. I laid there on the floor after the workout for about 5 minutes just sucking my thumb and feeling sorry for myself :>) Its all good and I am going to have some wine this evening but I'll try not to leave the zone (diet) too far behind...

dont know how I missed it in April

tried doing one a minute and kept up until like 7th round.

had 9 at 11minutes then struggled untill I had
like 14 at 17+ minutes.

I then became deturmined to beat 15 rounds and
gutted out the last round in right at a minute
I finished with like 15 seconds so I gathered
myself picked up the bar ang gutted out the last
2 thrusters before crashing to the floor. so I knew I gave it my all.

I haverealized the best way to improve my crossfit is to strengthen my mind and finishing as strong as I start has really been a bennifitial struggle

Danny #479: Speal got 19, as far as I can see the highest # of rounds from a known Cf'er. Under any circumstances topping his WOD score is a very significant accomplishment. I'm reluctant to call BS, but Dude, it's uncool at the very least and downright rude to toss that 'tude around without any cred, and probably uncool and rude even if you can back it up. Show us the video, back up the stats, and then down a big ol' dose of humble and watch as everyone else trumpets your success.

"No I'm not on steroids, but thanks for asking!" "Youre shoulders and arms are way bigger than before, doing a lot of curls and lat raises?" "No, kipping pullups, like what those gymnastics girls in the olympics use to get themselves up." "Youre lying... and on steroids."

Thrusters as rx'd, but sub'd some ring body rows for PUs. I seem to pull something everytime I do lots pullup reps, so I think this plan may help prevent injury. Last 10 reps were all PUs, though broken.

&

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!!!"

Last time
9.5 rounds with #95 thrusters

10 rnds in 20.30, and pukie was my guide. This was great for me mostly because it required that I persist through what felt like a failing level of weakness. Dehydrated, too hot, bad warmup, two days of travel w bad sleep, too much sun, too much non-zone food - don't know, but in the humbling weakness I figured out one of the ways I am doing thrusters poorly, mainly, by pushing weight up ahead of my centerline. Slows the cycle by requiring more weight shifting, noticeable in the transition from press down to front squat. Ovhd sqt 3 x 207. Finally can do GHD SU w out lower abdominal pain; 2 x 10.

I easily got 15 last time, or much easier than this 14 that's for sure. Well, hopefully I'll get back and do this one over again in the near future. I gotta suck it up and go again tommorow.
