Let's get Filthy!

Walking lunge....is 50 steps 25 Left and 25 Right, or 50 of each?

that's filthier than a Subic Bay....

Ouch! Unless I want to spend the afternoon in the hospital, I think I'm gonna have to cut this one in half. There's no way I could finish this!

43/6'1"/185

did the push up, ring dip, push press wod today.

7 rounds + 15 push ups + 7 ring dips

really wanted 8 rounds but the ring dips were singles by the last round.

i like the 50.

Is this the infamous "Filthy Fifty?"

#2 Wes-

50 steps walking lunge works out to 25 each leg.

Time to break out the ole Magic Sponge!

Any one know a good sub for the wall ball shots and back extensions? Don't have the proper equipment. Thanks in advance.

Thank you coach we are getting down and dirty in the AM.I love this WOD always brings tears to my eyes, endorphin high on its way.

#8

I plan to sub good mornings for the back extensions, and jumping thrusters with a 20# kettlebell for the wallballs. Good luck

This is going to hurt. The reward of Reaching something you think is unreachable. 1,2,3 go

OMG...I would rather have given up the rest day after looking at this workout...oh well...thanks for the rest before.

Holy crap! OUCH!!!

Hello Filthy Fifty nice to see you again, I believe you know my good friend pukie(shakes his hand). Good I will see you both tomorrow.

I am sooo glad I rested today!!! I am a "filthy" virgin, this will be my first. 3,2,1 ouch!!

I am currently deployed and have just gotten two of my soldiers into crossfit. I've been doing it for 6 months. I feel I have a fair amount of athletic/exercise knowledge and experience plus I have the benefit of the comment board if I have any questions, so I feel I won't lead them astray. I am doing the WOD's as RX'd (usually) in the morning by myself (so I know what they're in for) and then doing the BrandX scaled version with them at night. Only 2 days in and they already hate me, but they're sticking with it. One soldier is 72in, 258lbs with 27% body fat. He cannot pass an Army PT test. I have 4 weeks to work with him before I go on leave and plan to do a PT test and weigh & tape right before I go. Wish us luck on getting those numbers down and his PT score up. (He needs it to get promoted).

As an instructor, that simplified anatomy & phys lesson rocks!

Revolutionary progress is often simple, like the concept of planting seeds in rows. Once implemented, it is impossible to imagine a time when it was done any other way.

2 questions:

1) Is it ok to change the order a little?

2) Is it ok to go through the routine twice with sets of 25?

I LOVE the filthy 50!

I'm actually kind of scared

Filthy Fifty! Oh how i missed you...

I mean...hooray for the filth!

On the KB swings, what is 1 pood?

Wow...tomorrow is going to SUCK...but in a GOOD way :-)

Can I get a Hoo-yah?

I am looking at getting a traditional boxing bag for my husband (and myself) who does crossfit and also is an avid runner. I am wondering what anyone who recommend for weight. I see some are 40 pounds, some are 70 or 80. Is it best to just get the heaviest one? He is at a cage fight tonight so I thought I would post a comment to see if anyone could help. Thanks for any help.

Love the filth !!!!

#25, i want to say 1 pood equals around 35 lbs. Check out the FAQ section of this site and I know its on there some where. Cannot wait to do this, I'm really scared of the knees to elbows, my abs are weak!

I have been doing crossfit for about 4 months now, but I just looked at the nutrition guidelines today. Is there a set amount of daily calories that is recommended or simply try avoiding eating processed foods?

Shamp - from the FAQ:

Russian measure used for kettlebells; common ones: 1 pood =36 lbs; 1.5 pood = 54 lbs; 2 pood = 72 lbs. Approx db equivalents are 35, 55, 70

Mike - no and no. (If you want to do the 50 as rx'ed.)

But I sympathise with your attempts to tackle this monster in a more approachable way!

38/m/190
as rx'd except..

sub'd 45lb good mornings for back ext

NEW PR 23:25
previous best 25:05

#27 buy the 80# bag. It will absorb the impact of heavy kicks and punches without as much swing as the lighter bag. It will still swing, just not as much.

good thing i have 2 netflix movies waiting to be watched after this filthy beatdown occurs

Thanks Coach!

That video kicks ass! I can't wait to go to Fort Worth for my first cert! Give it your all tomorrow my fellow CrossFitters!

Steve

what can i replace the KB swings with. Don't have it yet =(

26:02

sub 150 single unders for 50 double

Oh, Jesus...I can't tell whether I'm happy or terrified. Whatever, how bad can it be?

Welcome to the Filth!

If you're doing this as Rx'ed, it's 50 of each exercise (25 lunges each leg) in the order listed for time, otherwise you're scaling. Feel free to scale, but don't consider a scaled time a PR over an unscaled one.

Try to work your way up to 50 of each exercise, but scale to a number that takes you 20-40 min at your fastest pace (yeah, it's a huge range, but most people underestimate the burpees).

Subs -
Swing a Dumbbell if you don't have a kettlebell.

Supermans work similar muscles to back extensions, although they lack the glute-ham hit.

Weighted thrusters are essentially the same motion as wall-ball with less of the power element.

And most people sub tuck jumps for double-unders, but once you start listening to Buddy Lee's advice on how to DU, you'll realize how incredibly different these 2 are.

You can get one H-E-double hockeysticks of a workout by subbing, it just won't be the same WOD. So, this might be a good chance to check out a local affiliate or pool resources with another CFer.

Study each of these movements in the videos or with a trainer before you try the whole WOD for time. Remember to warm-up before hand & stretch after. Get some.

great photo! she looks fabulous n strong.

super cool vid! fires up the insides seeing those groups tearing thru the workouts!

Have missed the filthy fifty! Love the filthy fifty!

#8
The sub for wall balls in thrusters with 45 lb bar.

I have been waiting for this workout for awhile. My last time was 17:00, but I will be destroying myself to try to get sub 16:00. This was the only workout I have ever almost met pukie--I vomited in my mouth a little to get 17:00.

Nick,
KB swings can be replaced with 35 lb. dumbell swings.

Ecxellent video:

Mims and Def Leopard mashed up, most excellent!

Hopefully, next year we'll have a team at the crossfit games...

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

M/25/5'11"/175

My computer's been down all week so I'm just now putting these in:

from Sunday 080713
HSPUs against brick wall, only about half ROM
L-PUs strict until last couple sets, legs started gettin shaky, started overhand then underhand grip
30:30

from Monday 080714
4 rounds 400m (.25 miles) on treadmill & 35 squats
13:33

from Wednesday 080716
225-235-245-255-265
5 reps no regrip on all till last set, quick regrip on it

from Thursday 080717
PUs full ROM, bar dips, 90# push press
4 full round plus 15 PUs & 3 dips

Working a couple days behind, did both of the last 2 earlier today, about a 10 min break in between

Is there a set of exercises to completely replace the kettlebell workouts? I've done lots of different kettlebell workouts, under the supervision of kettlebell instructors who said I was doing the exercises correctly. I usually used more weight than the instructors, but I never really got anything out of it. It just seems like too much momentum. I never got tired or got a burn. I'd have to go for a long time before tiring. The only thing that ever felt like exercise is the turkish get-ups.

And kb swings with a dumbbell just annoy the crap out of me. Is there any set of workouts I can do other than kbs? I just don't get anything out of them.

Excellent vid!

Did i count 500 reps? This one is gonna hurt!!!

50 Push press, 45 pounds? Is that a 45lb barbell or (2) 45lbs in each hand?

#16

GOOD JOB, WAY TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE. Stay Army Strong and have fun on leave.

BTW the FFity is going to suk

Funny, I was just thinking yesterday, "I bet I could kill my Filthy 50 PR." Looks like I'll get to put it to the test. Man do those games videos ever pump me up. I LOVE THIS S*&T!

#48 Don't tread I can't say I have the same problem as you and, frankly, I'm lost. Do more weight? Do more reps? Are you just doing swings or do you also do KB snatches?

Maybe you have a talent that needs to be addressed here.

Great video! Seriously.... when can I sign up for '09?

good gosh fedor is a monster!

Gaucoin, I could do more reps, but with the momentum in the swings, those types of kb exercises just don't seem worth the time it takes to get a good burn. The kb exercises that don't use momentum are great, like the get-ups or push-ups and row, I can do those with dumbbells and they hurt pretty fast.

But the kb exercises with momentum just don't do it for me, and I was wondering if there was any good replacement we could do (my wife doesn't care for them either). The swinging kbs just aren't worth the time for us.

#57 Dont tread,

How heavy is your kettlebell? If you're not already trying 2 pood, I'd give that a shot. Swinging 72 pounds all the way to almost directly overhead tends to pack a pretty big core strength (as well as grip) demand.

quick question: I know what the traditional CFWU is. What's the Bergener (sp?) warmup?

quick question: I know what the traditional CFWU is. What's the Bergener (sp?) warmup?

I use a tire chain bag, which amounts to a big purse, with a 20 lb or 30lb anchor and small 2.5-5 lb plates to make "kettlebells" of different weights. Works well.

Candace,

It's good to see you on the main site. You are the real deal. Keep training hard, move fast and breathe slow.

Her arms are awesome!

#18

The answers are No and No. If you are planning to do the wod as prescribed then they go in order, and you complete all of the reps of one before moving on to the next. If you have to scale, then by all means do what you are capable of, no shame there. If a bad time or pride are your issue... suck it up buttercup.

# 65

Thanks for the response.

A bad time is not really my issue. It's just that some of the exercises I'll have to do in my condo, and some of the exercises I have to do 3 floors down in the gym on the first floor. lol. Kind of weird to run up and down each set, but I guess it's just more work which is good.

O yea! Me and my girlfriends first workout back since we had a baby, and we come back to the filthy fifty. Last time I did this it was in 18:00min I bet I don't even get close to that. I am so pumped that I am back doing crossfit again.
God bless

What are tuck jumps.

Candace killed it!
C always shows so much heart in all her workouts.

Something fun to look at. How the top 40 males would have finished if last years scoring was used.

http://board.crossfit.com/showthread.php?t=34186

Who has swung a kettlebell behind their head and realized they can't bring it back? Yeah, I have. I love CrossFit. It's so humbling and uplifting at the same time.

hey one quick question push press it that a shoulder press with a little jump? My computer will not bring up the workout demo's or I would just watch it. and I seen earlier that 45lbs thrusters are a good supplement workout for wall ball shots
thanks
God Bless

==========================================
TODAY'S FAQ
==========================================
WOD = Filthy Fifty

Sorry for the late post. Basically see buretto #41. You can use Control-F to search his post or other things on the page. To rehash. You can modify the workout, but if you do, it's not really the same WOD. The WOD is to finish 50 repetitions of exercise A, before proceeding to 50 reps of exercise B, ... you get the idea.

For time:
50 Box jump, 24 inch box
50 Jumping pull-ups
50 Kettlebell swings, 1 pood
Walking Lunge, 50 steps
50 Knees to elbows
50 Push press, 45 pounds
50 Back extensions
50 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball
50 Burpees
50 Double unders

Buretto and others have already covered the basics. If you have any questions on form, or other substitutions, you can review the videos on the "Exercises and Demos" page, or the FAQ.

Third time I do Crossfit, OMG... It toke me 51 minutes with some modifications. I hope I will wake up tomorrow....

M/28/60kg

Me and my workout buddy are starting the daily WOD from today!

Hit this one up together this morning.

Subbed tuck jumps for DUs
Subbed 22kg thrusters for wall ball
Subbed supermans for back extensions
20" box jumps
16kg KB

Bit of waiting around for equpipment 'cos we only had one of everything between us.

PB by about 7 mins from just over a week ago when I did this last at CrossFit Scotland.

We heart Candace at CFO!!!

This is going to absolutely SUCK! wow... I just read this and I think I'm going to puke BEFORE doing it

I have yet to do this workout, and I'm not going to do it this time, sadly... due to scheduling constraints and my access to my gym, I'm on the 5 and 2 schedule and we only do longer workouts like this on S.O.S. days, which I can't ever get to because I'm asleep. But hopefully it's within my fairly near future... I want to see what all the fuss is about.

Is that Marion Jones in the picture?

stoked. been working on my DU's (i do "annie" about once a week). Biggest issue will be thrusters (no wallball at the navy gym). any one else think that workouts with more variety are "easier" than doing rounds of the same movements (fran). the repititions kill me but im usualy good if the movement is different although hitting same muscles

50 KTE
50 push press,45 lbs

OOoo never done filthy 50 before, this really is going to hurt isnt it?

i hate burpees

25:01 as Rx'd

080304 was 25:27 with supermen for back ext.

Whenever I have a really late night and a good drink a chipper wod shows up. What a nightmare!

25.08 as rx'd

doubles are getting so much better, pb'd with 20 in a row.

Well this was tough!!!!! I thought I could do it all but unfortunetly I didn't. However, this was only my 4th WOD ever! I don't feel too bad, should I????

I had to sub Supermans for Back Ext., 45lbs Thrusters for Wall Ball Shots and 35lbs DB Swing for Kettlebell swing.

I only completed
50 Box jump, 24 inch box
50 Jumping pull-ups
50 35LBS DB Swing
Walking Lunge, 50 steps
50 Knees to elbows
50 Push press, 45 pounds
50 Supermans
20 45lbs Thrusters

Time: 34:08 (I had to throw up, or else I would have finished)

I am not discouraged, I will continue. I can't wait till this comes around again to see how much I improve!

Thanks Coach!

Am I completely out of shape or does my partial completion time of 34:08 look about average for beginners?

Great Video, most inspiring, loved the music:
Mims and Def Leopard mashed up!!

QUESTION: Any way to get a copy of the audio track?

M/50/259.5
18" box
Subbed situps for knees/elbows
supermen for back ex
45 lb. thrusters for wall ball
only 25 burpees
100 single unders (88 consecutive, a record for me!)

50 minutes -- fitting for my first Filthy.

#88 - Don't get discouraged. I think your time is very respectable. This is a tough workout and many beginners either sub a lot of exercises or scale back the reps their first time through. Attempting to take on the full Rx'd workout is very admirable :) !

Just did this at my GloboGym. I probably wasted about 1:30 walking back and forth between exercises because the equipt. is so spread out. My time was 24:55. Did OK with everything except the KTE's and Burpees. After the first 10 I had to break these into sets of 5. I really suck at these 2 exercises!!!

First attempt at Crossfit since January...Ironically, very similar to last WOD I did then. That day, I ended up in the back of an ambulance. I have a heart problem that acted up on me and I was partially dehydrated. I feel I'm ready to tackle this beast...

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

....and I would have gotten away with it too if it hadn't been for those meddling burbees!
My first filthy ever, scaled wall balls to #14, subbed tuck jumps for double unders

final time: 35:10 Way longer than I expected.

f/40/138

As Rx'd

29:29 (PR)

Burpees feel awful today. Still need to work on those double-unders.

Last time 33:51

If I only have dumbells and no kettlebells, do I use the same weight, or more/less with a dumbell?
By the way: 150 single unders as a replacement for 50 DU, or 50 tuck jumps as replacement-My time would have been several minutes faster with these replacements. Today was my 5th day since I started CF a couple of months ago, and suddenly these DU were much easier. By a rope if you dont have one, believe me its much harder than the subs.

37/m/145

as rx'd 25:51

two minutes faster than last time i did it, and just as awful as i'd remembered! man i hit the wall at the burpees every time...fun fun fun!

cfwu x3
rx'd 23:03 PR, burpees always fun, slow du's

32:09 PR vs. 33:53. Used 2x20# db thrusters for wall ball shots and 18" box vs. 24" box as usual for me. All else as prescribed. I still really need to work on the box jump issue.

m/36/165

no warmup

For time:
50 Box jump, 24 inch box
50 Jumping pull-ups

50 Push press, 45 pounds
50 Back extensions
50 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball
50 Burpees (these sucked, took me a long time)
50 Tuck jumps

36:56

i felt really good until i got to the burpees. i did 10 the first set and then sets of 5.

M/40/185

Subbed 35lb db for kb and only had 16lb med ball at the gym...otherwise, as rx'd

45:12

Knees to E's was rough, but nothing compared to the burbees, which totally kicked my tail...1/4 of my total time was spent on those crazy burpees...thought i had a date with pukey for sure, but managed to hold it all down...thanks for another great workout and props to all those with great times today!

When I first saw this WOD, I said there is NO WAY I can do this one! I have been doing CF since April and have had to sub or scale almost all of the work outs. But my first thought was quickly followed by a second, that said you are a CF chick...you can do this!! I did sub on the knees to elbows (going as far up as I could), GM's for back ext., thrusters for WBS, and 4x the rope for DU's. I finished in 36:12 alot of which was burpee time. I did the PU, dip, PP yesterday and ran 3 miles.
F/39/125

m/19/5'9"/156

I'm am an idiot because I didn't eat anything before I started. This led to long breaks within sets and between sets so I could stop feeling like I was about to puke. I got through everything but only managed 20 double unders at the end.

Time was approx. 40 minutes. If I energize properly next time I know I can get around 35. But I'm not looking forward to this one again haha.

Did supermans for the back extensions
Did 30 Knees to Elbows.. rest were knees to chest height
Used a 14# Ball

26/F/130

Wow...have only been doing this for a month but that was the worst workout yet. Definitely felt like was I was going to puke through most of the burpies. Didn't help that I did all but the back extensions outside, and its 76% humidity.

Time was 40:41

Subbed 1 pood kettlebell with a 40pd free weight.

Subbed wall ball with doing squats holding a 20pds weight out straight.

Subbed 50 double unders with 100 running jump rope.

Today I turn 34. 34/m/201

I weighed 201 this morning. Last year on my birthday I weighed 260 and the waist on my pants was 10 inches larger, that's right 10 inches, I used to wear a 44 inch waist in my pants now all my pants are 34's, same as when I was an athlete in college.

I am glad we had a "filthy fifty" on my birthday

Everything was as rx'd except I used a heavier kettlebell. 1 pood = 36 lbs (16kg) I used the 20kg kettlebell.

32:18....

I smoked my last recorded as rx'd filty fifty by 12 minutes. The huge improvement for me was the knees to elbows and double unders. I have been practicing them so I now I can fly through both those movements.

Thank you Crossfit

What a nice way to spend Sunday morning! I had to scale down to 25 reps of each, and I substituted a few exercises to use the equipment I have:

Box jumps: Used homemade 8-inch box.
Kettlebell swings: 45-lb
Push press: Used 45-lb kettlebell
Back extensions: Did stiff-legged deadlift using 45lb kettlebell.

Total time: 30:27

Cross Fit Testimony

39.5 yr female CrossFitting for 2 years, zoning since May. I just did my 4th sprint triathlon with CrossFit as my main training. Ive been in the pool twice (i have a swimming background), on my bike twice (to toughen my seat), and I run the local charatiy 5k's. I took 1st overall female, cut 1 minute off my time, and 12th against the men. My 2 Crossfit friends did it with me and have trained similar and they both cut their personal times as well. CrossFit works, the zone works, and my one thought to calm my nerves was...."this cant hurt any worse than Murph"

Have fun with the 50, I'll do it later this week.

30/m/5'10"/225

Did hanging knee raises instead of knee to elbows.

The rest of the exercises was as rx'd.

40:48

6 min 20k kb snatch set - 45R/42L. Hand switch at 3 minutes.

5 minute break.

WOD: 30:29. I decided to do this one as strictly as possible... I was interested to see how it affected my time and how it made me feel.

50 20" box jumps - did not count if both feet did not land completely on box
50 jumping pullups - chest had to touch bar each rep to count
50 35# kb swings - bell had to stop directly overhead to count
50 walking lunges - knee had to touch ground and full hip extension to count
50 KTE - knees had to touch forearms to count
50 push presses - full stop at rack and full stop overhead to count; no 1/4 thrusters
50 extensions - no momentum, complete stop to count
50 20# wallball - had to sub 25# sandbag throws to 8' ceiling; no 10' walls at the apartment
50 burpees - chest/thighs touching floor during pushup, vertical + lateral jump with overhead clap (jump over 12"x12" bag on floor)
50 doubleunders - still can not do one, subbed knees to chest tuck jumps

Adding the chest to bar during the jumping pullups and jumping over the bag during burpees made this WOD a complete bear. That extra work on the burpees had me fighting a side stitch after rep 18 and it killed my tuck jumps too. I definitely felt those additions...I will make these permanent fixtures in this workout.

As Rx: 29:46

3:11 slower than PR. Had a solid PR going until hitting a brick wall at, perhaps fittingly, the wall ball shots. Spent about 4 min just fighting off Mr. Pukie. I guess that's what a day of high humidity, poor eating, and little sleep will do to you. Felt like it was my first day doing CF. Which is also fitting considering…

Today marks my one year anniversary of doing CF - WOD #275. My initial intent was to find a better conditioning program for my martial arts training. I decided to try CF for a month. But of course once started, there was no turning back. I haven’t missed a WOD yet. What I found was more than just a superior conditioning program, but a methodology that has provided a strong basis for psychophysical understanding. My sincere gratitude is extended to Greg and Lauren Glassman for providing this service and their insightful wisdom. Thanks also to all the coaches and athletes that make CF one of the best resources for fitness I’ve ever come across.

Just for fun - total Rx pull-ups (not counting today, warm-ups, extra work, etc.) I did over the past year: 6,461.

Time 25:02 with a few adaptations. I did 50 Thrusters w/30 lb instead of the wall balls and 150 jump rope instead of the double unders. Not bad for my first time doing this WOD.

Wall ball injured me, and the burpees killed me. Took 14 minutes to do the last 3 excercises.

subbed 35# dumbbell swings for kettlebell

medicine ball was a little lighter than 20#s, probably 15ish? the options are 15 or 25 so i alternate between the two (last FGB used 25)

lost a ton of time on knees to elbows, never done these before, was doing them two at a time with rest in between (realized at the end that one at a time with only a couple secs in between would be faster and more in keeping with the metcon spirit of it. oh well.

oh, and i HATE burpees. at least they are directly relevant to improving surfing performance, that realization is the only thing that gets me through them......

hadn't even stopped shaking/hyperventilating afterwards before i was analyzing where to drop the most time next time, i love crossfit....

Going to do the Filthy 50 tomorrow.

Good God...

Why did I find it a good idea to drink during the fights last night?

:(

f/37/122

Did the scaled puppy filthy in 21:00 (20 of all) except did leg raises for the ab mat and double unders for the standard jumprope. Used 4 risers on the step (about 13 inches)

I am all about doing the "filthy 50",. My friend and i have given it the name of the "dirty nasty" too! This is the first time i did it and didn't have to sub anything. Tacked on like 2 min to my time... but I did it all as rx'd

The knees to elbows and burpees took it out of me. After the first 10 reps of both exercises I had to start doing them in sets of 5! I feel so... filthy. Almost met pukie.

Anyone else think that the song mashup in that video was the worst thing ever? It was like two totally unrelated song playing at the same time.

Anyway, enough negativity...time to drink the kool-aid.

Finally got to do the workout...it's tough sometimes in Baghdad to get the gym where it's not crowded...

First crossfit WOD since January:

Everything as prescribed minus 15 burpees because I wanted to puke:

31:42

Last time I ended up in an ambulance. This time I finished. That's a start!

Wish me luck...

Off to the filth!

Goal was 25 minutes.
As Rx'd: 29.26 gotta cut four more minutes off.

DNF

39:00 for first 8 exercises.

Subbed thrusters for wall ball.

Did not do burpees or double unders. Felt like I was going to puke for the last 15 minutes. Quit when the puking feeling went from felt like to going to puke.

subbed 12.5kg dumbbell swings for the KBs, and tuck jumps for the double-unders:

36:07

New PR by nearly 5 minutes. Had to lie down for a very long time afterwards.

Meeker
I'll agree about the remix or whatever it was in the video, however given the songs that were mixed up they almost fit well together, but what ever.
Question I'm now at a point where I'm not struggling to get through the WOD and I really want to improve my times etc. Usually on a workout with like today I'll do a set of 10 (rest about 15-20sec) and then another. If I'm looking to improve my times I was wondering if people have found better to increase the number in a set and keep rest the same or to try and decrease the time I rest between sets?

i have been doing crossfit for 7 weeks. for my age, i feel my fitness level is above average at least. my weights and times are accptable, although i know there is room for improvement. that said, i must comment on some of the times posted. i feel some of the posted times are unrealistic. maybe i am not figuring my times correctly.
using todays wod as an example: 22:00, 25:00, 19:00? with these posted times you are talking about less than 3 minutes per exercise @ 50 reps each. and that does not include rest periods or walking from station to station.
another example is the 10k run from last week. i recall seeing times in the low 20:00s and even a 19:00. were these people running 6.2 miles. those are world class times or better.
do i include rest periods in my final time, or just working time?
PLEASE! i understand there are people who are in better shape than i. it is not my intention to bash anyone. being fairly new to crossfit, i want to make sure i have a full understanding of every aspect of crossfit.
thanks.

As Rx'd 32:32

Added Chest to bar on pull ups and over head clap while in the air to the burpies.

45:21 Sub DU Attemps

Wow... I havent blasted this bad boy in a while...

My Favorite Chipper... But definately not an "Any Asshole" workout.

I am really trying to not let my male competitive nature and my willingness to kill for points get in the way of my form on the exercises. With that said, My Knees to Elbows died out on me after 20 reps.. and i finished them up doing a hanging leg lift/knee tuck because i just couldnt get my damn knees up there. I dont have a 20lbs med ball.. nor a 10 spot to throw to.. so we took a 25lbs plate and did deep thurstder with them.. that burned.

Im working hard on double unders... rocking 4 singles and as many doubles as i can do before i mess up. But I did an even 100 including my singles just to try getting the same desired effect of 50 double unders.

23:15 PR!

my best time was 27:52 thats a nice improvement.

23/M/205/6'1"

31:04, but had about 5 min. of rest during burpees as Pukie was creeping on me.

Subbed knees to chest for knees to elbows.

All else as RXed. Much more difficult than I had originally thought.

Only alterations are:

7.5kg plates each hand KB swings
Wall Ball:7.5Kg plates each arm KB Swings

Added three minutes to my filthy time, and almost lost it on the burpees. My body is still feeling the last cycle of WODs.

Oh yeah... and those burpees never get any easier!! I was at 13 mins when the burpees came in.. and it took me about 10min just to get to through those and the Dub Unds.

Ug.

45# plate for KB's

Lost track of time after wall ball because I laid in the pool after DU's. I was at 25'00 after those and I had hit my wall. I could only do 5-7 in a row. I blew through the stuff before though. Check times in log to compare for next time. Skipped burpees because I ran out of gas and wanted to get through the double unders. Those were a lot better this time. Could do 5-7 consecutively. Beat was about every 3rd skip. Sometimes was able to do every one as DU for about 5 in a row.

Not feeling filthy today so I did a 5K loop close to my house in 22:20.

I mapped it out online so it could be a little short but it sure was hilly and winding. There was a painfully long inline for what felt like close to a kilometer but, fortunately, it lead to a longer but less steep downhill back towards my house. The mental push was a little lacking but physically I felt pretty good, left calf held up but is tightening by the minute now. Hopefully I can get back to the daily WODs soon.

#176 Mike. Start stop watch at first rep of first exercise, stop the clock after last rep of last exercise. That is your time (rest is included). Every now and then there is a time posted that doesn't make sense, whether a typo or forgetting to post a mod to the WOD. Don't sweat other folks times, as there are some real amazing performances that CFers put up. Sub-20 min filthy fifty is certainly attainable by many on these boards. Someday we'll get there too :-) The key to the super times seems to be that the CF elite just never stop moving. I wrote that on my cheat sheet today - Just Keep Moving. Throttle the cycle time for some exercises as necessary, but generally better to slow the cycle time and keep pushing than to go to failure and then rest.

@ #176

When I have for time events, I start the stop watch and it does not stop until I have completed the last rep of the last exercise. There are no delays subtracted for my breaks, walking from one side of the gym to the other for the next exercise, or just plain wimping out during the exercise.

However, I have only been doing Crossfit since mid April, so I am by no means an authority on it. But the way I look at it is that I am really competing against myself. So as long as I do it the same way each time, I can track my personal progress. I know some people at my work that will break up a work out such as Angie into 25 of each exercise 4 times. They do the same total number of reps that I do, but just that slight modification gives them times that are 10 minutes faster than what I can do when I do it 100/100/100/100.

So while I sometimes doubt some of the fantastic numbers I see....it is in the no harm, no foul category to me.

Vacation - used a soccer goal post for a pullup bar. Did the following:

yes, the fast times are likely for real. the filthy fifty was the 2nd CF wod I ever did and i did 1/2 reps in about 45min... 10 months later i am doing all 50 reps of each in 27min and some change. i also thought i was "fit" as a runner and triathlete prior to starting CF, but this is a whole different beast. as your strength and stamina improve your times will decrease rapidly. i don't know about the fast 10K times the other day, but people are doing this wod in very fast times... straight through, no rest and fast pace. also pay attention to the subs people make as that can make a difference in their time. keep training hard and keep us posted on your progress!

Mike (comment #176)
I completely agree with you...the excessively low times are a joke...not physically possible, even with poor form.

My suggestion is to not even look at others times other than a general grading of where you might want to target (age/wt/size) and use this primarily for a personal log of your work.

Sub'd supermans for back extensions, and the box was definitely higher than 24'', but that should make up for a slightly lower wall ball target. Double unders were tough since it was my first time doing them. I couldn't string together consecutives so I had to do a double under every 2 single unders.

#203, I wouldn't sweat anyone else's time on these workouts. I look at it like a game of golf; it's supposed to be you against the course in golf. It should be you against the WOD (in other words, yourself) in CF. It's just my opinion.

50 Push press, 45 pounds

50 Back extensions

50 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball

50 Burpees

50 Double unders

Completed the "Filthy Fifty" in 23 minutes and 54 seconds. I lost some time in transition from one side of the gym to the other on a couple of exercises.

I also think that those f'ing burpees had better be damn good for me because they SUCK!!

I was solid all the way to the burpees and then I hit the wall! I still PR'd by about 3 minutes so I'm not complaining; Did much better on the DU's too.

#202 - ROBERT SUTHERLAND,

2 pood KB swings? 25# wall ball shots? Burpees with a box jump? AND, still right at 25 minutes? YOU'RE AN ANIMAL! Nice work! ;)

m/35/235
I'm pretty disapointed in my time this time. It was 13 minutes slower than last time. I'm hoping it was the heat. I did it outside at work.

used 35# db for swings
40# db thrusters for wallballs
supermans in place of back extensions
tuckjumps in place of du's no jumprope

Mike #176:

Nice work on your first "Filthy Fifty"! You are correct--start the clock before rep. 1 and stop it after last rep. Rest and transition is included as Wes points out.

This CF is powerful stuff and the longer you do it the faster you will go. Prior to a shoulder injury I did this nearly as Rx'd in 28 and change at age 47. I have seen video of the CF monsters and recently saw them perform in person at the Games. Despite Bill #206's skepticism it is not a stretch at all for some of these folks to go sub-20. OPT, AFT, Speal, Anthony B, Dutch, Pat Barber, etc. are more than capable. The bar is very, very high.

Having said that I agree entirely with the two responses above: CF is you vs. you. Stick around; do the WOD, and be prepared to be astounded at your improvement the next time this comes around.

Welcome aboard to you as well. Fasten your seatbelt.

Surfed 2 hours at Churches

comment #219 Correction!!! Sorry about that I looked at the wrong lap time on my stop watch...add 5 minutes and 2 seconds for a total time of 28 minutes and 56 seconds.

First Filthy Fifty
Started pretty strong and started to lose it half way, need to re-evaluate zone blocks.

Subbed 10# wall balls (don't have a 20# yet)
Subbed GHD Sit ups because my wife was doing her jumping pulls we need another pull up station :)

The rest as rx'd

the short times on this workout are probably correct as I have had the experience in seeing many people do it and have done it myself. I think my first attempt was nearly 40 minutes then down to about 27min with much room for improvement over the last three exercises. the k2e are the point that get slow for me and I am usually hitting them at about the 8-9min mark. It is also a test of will as many people who think they are in good shape crumble when the wall balls hit.

I'm not gonna lie. That unhealthy rest day I had killed the workout for me. I did everything as required...but about puked when I got to burpees. I did 10 burpees and I hit the wall hard.

You know that feeling when everything starts getting dark..haha. Like you're getting choked out..

So, I didn't finish the filthy. I feel very disgusted with myself! But I will hit it harder and not treat a rest day, like a "REST" day.

When i got to the burpees, the time was 34min. I was suckin today.

The rest of the WOD was relatively easy, up until wall ball...murder!!

Until next time, I won't quit.

Hey mike,
Just to clarify, those comments regarding the world class times for the 10K were in complete jest. They were in response to a prior comment made by someone suggesting that those of us who run 10k's slower than 40 minutes are not training hard enough. That wasn't recieved well, so those comments about the 20 minute 10k's were actually jokes. Stick with this, you will progress. It's hard to imagine doing today's wod any faster, but you will someday, if you stay with the program. That's the beauty of it!

doing this in the heat (90+ degrees in the shade with 100+ humidity)...didnt help. it was hard to breathe in the shade.

subbed -
40lb db swings for 1 pood kb.
knee raises for kte
all but 20 of the ohp were strict instead of push press
standing goodmorning with hands behind neck for back ext
and 45lb bar thrusters for wall ball.

only did 10 burpees and no DU. this was the exact way i did it 4 months ago, as my only 2nd week of cf. the heat was unbearable...so i wanted to quit early. but at least i got to compare to before.

last time - 51:10
this time - 38:15

almost as rx'd . . . then realized I'd forgotten my K2Es!

so 24:50 minus the K2E. Did them immediately following, took 7 min.

Whatever. Was really bummed as I was cooking along well. Those damn burpees are the bane of my existence. Sub'd tuck jumps. Even with the breaks, still shaved 5 min off my previous

M/160/26

just under 25 mins,
but cheated a bit with the double unders at the end and I don't think the ball was 20 lbs, no writing on it, but I think it was 12 or 16 lbs.

tough ass W.O died out for a while at the burpees

First Filthy Fifty, WOW, man this thing was tough, very very tough, I can't wait until my next one to see how much I improve.

messed up the order a bit and did dirty 30s vs filthy 50s due to the fact that I meet a certain clown every time I do the 50s

15m20s out of order a bit at the end

missed yesterday's burpee challenge so counted today's as yesterday's and today's day 8 manana

Nasty as ever, but It's getting faster. I bested my last time by 10 minutes.

Howdy,
So why don’t scaled workouts get cool names too?

The Dirty Thirty Five
35 Box jump, 24 inch box
35 Jumping pull-ups
35 35lbs BD swings
Walking Lunge, 35 steps a leg (leg 1, right 1 etc)
35 Regular Sit-ups
35 Push press, 45 pounds
35 Back extensions
35 Wall ball shots, have no idea how heavy, wasn’t labeled, 10lbx? Maybe? Having no target kinda sucked
35 Burpees
35 Standard Jump Rope Jumps
39:54
The pull ups and the burpees killed me, my lower body runs with The Pack, but my arms belong sometimes with the buttercups. I punch below my weight but I’m working on it. This was a true crossfit experience, i.e. people looked at me funny and my heart felt like it was going to explode and I was dizzy at times(I blame the zone). But someday I too will be able to write, "As rx'd..."

20:31

a good start point
great workout almost puked on the bupees

First time posting to crossfit, been doing the workouts for about a week since I don't have access to my local gym for a while.

22/m, 43:39 >.<

Was doing so well, with about 6 minutes elapsed, but the elbow-to-knees killed me, couldn't hold myself up to do 50 straight and killed a lot of time there, that and the need to run around my house to complete the workout killed my time. Alwell, more to improve on.

Much thanks for posting workouts like this ;D

subbed 40lb thruster for wall ball shots....40:04. had to take a 5 minute break after doing back ext. because i was on the verge of throwing up and i wanted to finish the wod. bad day
