YAY! She passed the test!!! Cutie baby did it!

Greg an Lauren, you're great parents!

As I was saying, I might have to scale this. I don't know if my OHS is up to scratch.

Dude! I just did Fran

That is sad to see.

my two weeks of ab recovery starts today, and this one looks good.. i really want to do it...i just don't want to tear the muscle or get a hernia.. that wouldnt be fun

She's getting big...

Was going to do it scaled, but will CHARGE iIT since it's a Heroe WOD.

oooooooh two days in a row I shouldn't have checked the WOD before going to bed. I'm pumped up to do this one! Haven't tried it before. Plus I'm going home for the first time in 2 years, might give this to my dad as a uh... "Gift" haha fun fun fun

Great video Greg/Lauren (& Caitlin!). Isn't that ISR amazing? It's not rocket science, but is just so damn crazy (and really neat) to see an 18 month old swimming in the deep end of a pool. It's expensive but worth it for obvious reasons.

Looking forward to the workout in memory of Jeremy tomorrow. The picture of him smiling on the swing is gut wrenching to look at.

Dan D.

There are few things as motivating as a hero workout. The loss of a child is one that breaks my heart & will fuel my efforts tomorrow. God bless you Jeremy. Keep us safe.

Such a beautiful baby!

Jeremy it is...tomorrow at dawn. I pray that you are resting peacefully in heaven little guy.

3-2-1 Go!

So no swim WOD? I'm gonna go to the pool after this WOD hopefully anyway.

And yes, a 3 year old can be a heroe.

Anybody got any good tips on the overhead squat? I think I really screw up on form on this (sharp pain in low back and heels coming up off the floor - this with no weight on the bar). This is a new movement for me and I'm not excited about getting hurt. Appreciate your tips, ideas, reference sources, etc.

Beautiful Guys. Thank you for sharing.

Did Fran with 95# in 14 minutes tonight. Not a spectacular show but I wanted to get a time. I'm happy with it... for now. :) Thrusters started off easy and got hard on the 15s. Pull-ups were cake in comparison.

2 Questions about Fran and Pull-ups

What's the deal with cleaning vs taking the bar out of a rack for the thrusters? I ended up having to clean the weight about 15 times and it really did a number on me. Is it acceptable to use a rack or it that cheating??

Where does the bar need to touch in a chest to the bar pull-up?? I saw a few kinds at the games. Is it to the nipple? Mine were sort of to the clavicle. Does that count as a chest to the bar pull-up?

Love this workout. I love OHS and the burpees will go towards my 100 day burpess challenge. :D

the good news is that i don't have to take the plates off my barbell from today for the ohs.

bad news is the burpees...

#13, bill

I didn't have any pain issues, but I did have those back heel problems. A couple Crossfit trainers at my gym pointed out that I could practice squats with my face against a wall. I found that helped my balance tremendously.

So just stand right in front of a wall, with your toes touching, or very close to, the wall, and then practice body weight squats, maybe with your arms up for extra balance practice.

My first memory EVER is almost drowning in a pool when I was 2 yeras old and my uncle saved my life. I've also almost drowned in a wave pool and in the ocean(once again saved by the smae uncle) when i was 11. I am still a very poor swimmer (I'm fine in the deep end,but not strong) it is probably about time I took some lessons. Anyone know of a good way I could start with very basic drills?

Wow - powerful video. People that can teach that are doing 'god's work.'

I don't know Jeremy's story, but it's heartbreaking to consider how many dear ones are lost in pools. In three years as a police officer, we had no murders, one traffic fatality and one pool death - it's that common.

Proud to engage this WOD tomorrow. Paul

I have never done this WOD and can't wait to do it in honor of Jeremy.

I am speachless. I had to research this WOD since I had never heard of it. I'm just... speachless. I have a 3 year old girl. I don't even wanna imagine.

Bill, scale this if you have to. Put pride aside and be safe with it. Think broomstick, bro. Keep active shoulders and STRETCH your shoulders beforehand. First time I tried these, I put my left forearm to sleep for 5 weeks. Seriously, I was lucky it was not permanent. Scale, scale, scale. I know I will...

i think it's great that they are teaching children to swim early, it just seems a little forced when the kid is crying and obviously scared. you don't forget memories like that, even if the skills are necessary.

Cool video, I like this quote: "Three quarters of the Earth's surface is covered in a medium where without some basic functional training survival is impossible." Never thought of it that way.

Tomorrow, I'll get this done for Jeremy

Yeeeaaaay Caitlin! Video is AWESOME as is ISR! Our son is in his first week with an ISR Instructor. The most traumatic thing is when he gets separated from Mommy - lots of crying; but in the water, he's great!

God bless Jeremy... and his family. I can't imagine the pain of the loss of a child... my heart is with you all.

#13 Bill,

MASTER the air squat, front & back squats before attempting the OHS. That's all I got. Don't know how long you've been training or how much CrossFit experience you have, but don't try to do too much too fast. This is coming from experience- currently nursing a shoulder from trying to get too fancy on the rings, now I'll probably be out a couple of weeks. You can't progress if you're sidelined! Find a Certified CrossFit trainer in your area if possible.

Mark

#15 Ally, Aim for the sternum, much harder to break than the clavicle; that said, the higher on the sternum the better from my perspective.

Paul

can't wait to honor jeremy, I'll be sure to give this hero workout 150 percent!

I'm sure he'll be smiling down on all of us crossfitters from heaven.

Whoooo....that video was a little frightening to watch. I'm going to give this one my all tomorrow, and make up today's Fran to repent for my weakness. Go!

I'll be scaling the weight, but I'll give this everything I have. My prayers go out to Jeremy's family.

our prayers and thoughts are with you, god speed.

Seriously,

I did not understand the video I just watched. I am a (retired) SCUBA guy in SF and I clearly missed the intent of this video. Please explain it to me.

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

I really hope to start an affiliate with others in a few years and build a 3 lane 25 yard pool (former swimmer). When I'm all done with the AF and am settled back east thats the goal. We really need to make sure every child has the opportunity to learn basic water skills

This one's for you, Jeremy. 3...2...1...Go!

That is amazing!!!!!

I just did something like this yesterday: 21-19-17-15-13-11-9-7-5-3-1 of 95# OHS and Burpees. Just did it to complete, didn't get a time.

Learning to control your breathing, be comfortable, and avoid panic in the water are critical to survival. Comfort and control are more important than swimming strength. It is as important a life skill as navigating streets and sidewalks. I look forward to doing this next week in honor of Jeremy.

So where are all the swimming WODs?

Stoked to do this WOD never done it before, but did something just like it at the box last week. Can't wait to throw down on this.

#16 Ted

I totally agree...burpees are always bad news

Nevertheless, I am excited about this wod. I have done a similar one that I named after my wife, Rachel (cuz she came up with the sick idea). The "Rachel" is 21-15-9 of thrusters and burpees. Killer.

If jeremy is anything like "the Rachel" I would expect times well in excess of 2x Fran times.

You are in my prayers.

#31 Billy,

The purpose of ISR is to teach infants the valuable skill of survival in the water. The crying you saw was probably just separation anxiety from not being with mom. I know because my son is going through the same training. He cries immediately upon leaving his mom's arms... but he's absolutely great in the water, even though he continues to cry.

The purpose of the video, in my opinion, is to show how an infant can learn how to survive in a situation that without the ISR training could easily have a different, tragic result. Go to the ISR website and check it out.

burpee question

1) do your hands have to touch the ground before kicking your legs out or can it be more of a sprawl?

2) must you do the full extenxion of the pushup before you bring your legs back in?

i had always done them in a very semented way but after the games footage im not sure if that is necessary.

My deepest sympathies go out to the Bloniasz family. Stay strong.

Great video! This is an invaluable tool that every kid should be taught. Sometime in their early childhood they will most likely encounter a deep pool of water and this is a great asset to have. One of the worst situations, if not the worst, to witness as a paramedic is an infant/child drowning. They can slip underneath the water in the blink of an eye and that's all it takes. No parent should ever have to live through that. I'm thankful I grew up with a pool and learned to swim young. I don't have kids now, but when I do they'll be ready! This one's for you, Jeremy.

===================================
TODAY'S FAQ
===================================
In honor of "Jeremy".
Three rounds, 21-15- and 9 reps, for time of:
95 pound Overhead squats
Burpees

First round is 21 reps of OHSQ, 21 reps of burpees. Second round is 15 reps of each. Third round is 9 reps of each.

OHSQ - Take the bar from the rack. Push press or push jerk it to overhead. Your arms should be by your ears. Push up through your arms as much as you can. Then push some more, really lifting the shoulders. The more engaged and solid your shoulders are, the easier it is to balance. Feet should be about shoulder width apart, maybe a little more with feet turned out at a comfortable angle. Squat to parallel and return. Keep your back and abs engaged to maintain the natural curve of your back the whole time. See the exercises and demos page for more help on form.

Burpees - A lot like the old squat-thrust from elementary school PE. From standing position, squat down, putting hands by your feet. Jump feet back into pushup position and do a pushup. Jump feet back up by your hands. Stand up quickly ... directly into jumping off the ground with your hands overhead. A good tip when bringing your feet back up is to get your back as vertical as possible (again tight back and abs) before you start the movement up. This way the standing and jumping are one fluid movement. Not stand up, straighten back, then jump.

Scaling - Reduce the weight on the OHSQ as necessary. If unfamiliar with this exercise, do it only with the bar, or even with a broomstick or pvc pipe. With burpees, you can do knee pushups, or take out the pushups, or take out the jump.

As with all Crossfit workouts, form (with lighter weights) comes first, then you increase the weigtht, then you up the intensity (speed).

I have now thought about the video for a few minutes and it pisses me off that coach would post this without any context.

Perhaps because water training is such a large part of my life that the video hit me right in the heart. I swim with my kids every day, really every day, and I have performed and taught and evaluated the most arduous tasks under water that a man can be asked to perform.

Watching that video without any context made me angry. Coach, next time, please put a block of text at the beginning stating that the infant has successfully completed drown proofing for infants that teaches/re-enforces the infant to use his/her mammalian reflexes/skills to roll on to their backs and float as opposed to the learned skill of fear of the water. Geez Coach, you scared the cr@p out of me.

I can only hope that this video shows that all parents must take their kids to swimming lessons today. No time like the present. I believe that this was coaches intent.

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

Very sorry to hear. God bless.

Andy Petranek comment 40, I really respect what you have built at Pertanek Fitness and I am glad to see that your kids are learning drown proofing early. But man, coach did not have to kick us in the jimmy to get our attention, did he? Maybe he did. Or perhaps (by looking at the posts today) I was the only one who got the point of the video? Man, I hope not. Kelly and Jeremy, my heart goes out to you in a big way, I am so sorry for your loss.

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

AllyNYC & Freddy... Finally researched the 100 burpee challenge (easy enough since google's such a powerful tool) and it's on... I'm buying in tomorrow with a quick 78 Burpees ... gonna go ahead and do that on top of Jeremy since I don't want to take away from the special use of those burpees to honour the little guy.
I'll let you know how it goes... brutal i'm sure since burpees are somewhat of an aerobic/metabolic nemesis.

This one will be fun.

I PR'd Fran today! My last recorded time was at my level one seminar and i got stopped at 10 minutes with 3 pullups left.

Today I did it in 7:18!! thats a 3 minute improvement in less than one months time!!!

SWEET!

-Johnny D

#45 and #47 Billy

I was rather shocked at the video also but quite surprised to see the baby flip upright in the water. It does kick ya in the jimmies.

But then I saw the link beside it and clicked on it and watched the video clip from the doctor and the 6 minute news clip.

Pretty amazing stuff - I never knew it even existed or was possible. I glad they put the disclaimer in - don't try it at home. It takes the babies 4 to 6 weeks to learn to flip over depending on their age.

Thanks Coach, I'm going to show my family those clips.

AllysonNYC comment 15, I love your questions... About taking the bar from the rack vs. lifting off of the ground. I think that its about even, here's why. When you take it out of the rack you have to go down and then up to count the first rep. If you squat clean it from the ground you move the bar less distance on the first rep. Of course, if you do not have an efficient clean, this distance increases and the work goes up and at some point of in-efficiency, causes the pull off of the floor to become longer.

As far as "where does the bar need to touch to be considered a pull up to the chest as opposed to the chin, because at the games pull ups to the clavicle and pull ups to the nipple line were both counted". That's a great question considering that your nipple line is a large moving target :>) I believe that any pull up that ended with the chest hitting the bar anywhere from the clavicle or below would be considered a "pull up to the chest" and any pull up that ended at the neck or above to the chin would be considered a pull up to the chin.

By the way, did changing the position of your elbows to a more forward position help get the bar off of your clavicles?

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

I've seen the picture of Jeremy on the swing but never heard the story. I'm at my fire station reading it and almost crying on my computer. I have a 2.5yo that went did his first swim lessons this summer and I am about to get an instructor because I look like a helicoper crashing in the ocean when I swim. God Bless Little Jeremy.

Harvey Barnett, G_D bless your work.

Here is a video to give people some insight to the video that was posted on the site today:

If you have children, especially young children you need to click on the link:

http://www.infantswim.com/news-and-events/todayshow.html

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

I think this whole video and baby drown-proofing is a cop out. This kid was with his mother, crying before the video even started, up until he was thrown into the pool. Natural reflex is to take a breath and stop crying when your head goes under. This video and infant drown-proofing was rather extreme and I would be very surprised if this child grows up without some water phobia. Parenting is important such as knowing where your kids are at in an area where there are hazards. I am all for kids learning water skills at a young age as I have 2 daughters, 5 and 7, but this "training" is unnecessary. Kids will learn when they are ready. Until then it is our duty as parents to keep them safe.

good workout!!

Billy - no worries... I get your context now - and had I watched it without knowing, probably would have scared the crap out of me too! Thanks for posting the direct link to the Today show piece.

ap

freddy, i can't imagine that you are too thrilled about more burpees today after all those burpee pull ups...

Thanks Andy, you're and good guy.

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

Billy,

Yes, context is important, so we provided it. Resourcefulness is the key to availing yourself of the provided context. You get an "A" for clicking, reading, thinking, and watching.

This is an adult site. Maybe we need a warning?

Coach, you're the man, as usual, no warning needed, please keep up the good work. I hope to see you at a cert sometime.

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

post 58 should read "Thanks Andy, you're a good guy"

Sorry, it's late, good night :>)

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

Billy....thanks for the vid link. I had the same reaction. I particularily like the older boy beating the water, getting tired and flipping over to rest....

Both of my daughters (6 and 10) are in lessons and they spend very little time teaching what to do if you tire out. Seems this should be the initial fundamental instruction.......like air squats.

Billy,

I get where you're coming from. That little floater is my universe. That's Caitlin Glassman. The only thing harder than watching your daughter struggling below the surface of the water, eyes wide open, looking for help, is the unfathomable dread of fishing her from the bottom, lifeless.

Rarely a week goes by where I don't choke back a tear for Jeremy and his wonderful, beloved, family.

Billy, get yourself to a cert as my guest, and I'll share more with you. Thank you for your support.

CrossFit Foundation is going to send as many kids to ISR in Jeremy's name as funds will allow. More to follow.

Greg

#54 - I'm a lifeguard, so I see many kiddos splashing around every day. This training is a GREAT idea. This training is a way to protect your child, because you are NOT going to be around at all times.

Protecting the child, WHILE teaching the child the tools to survive/thrive EQUALS parenting. Don't get confused about this. Sometimes waiting 'until they are ready' is too late. If the kid's going to be around water, he'd better know how to survive IN water.

I've saved 30+ kids that would have been fine if they knew how to flip over and float. Holding breath may be instinct, but water balance is NOT. Nature will not teach this, any contrary research be damned.. I've seen it.

G_d bless you coach, please tell me more about Crossfit foundation. I have a charity which I started a few years ago myself. I am always interested in helping causes that are close to me. I changed my email address on this post. Please let me know how I can help.

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

Had to scale the overhead squat to just a 44lb bar due to learning the exercise and developing the co-ordination and flexibility.

This is like totally radicle after yesterday dudes.

WTF?!?! this is crazy!! will this kid like to swim when it grows up??

Just a quick quesion, can you add more weight to the workouts if you can complete them and when would you decide to add the weight.This question bout the workouts in general.

f: 35/5'7/129

Used 15kg (33lb) bar for the wod

Time: 9.40

Tested myself with the 20kg bar first, did 5 reps, but would've taken all day to do 21, so dropped the weight to take full advantage of this metcon.

O/H Squats: First set of 21 squats unbroken. Below parallel on all reps
Burpees: Chest & thighs to floor, jump & clapped overhead.

This is a great example why I love CrossFit and the community. Yes, Coach has provided me with the best fitness program around and I'm in the best shape of my life, but the fellowship is amazing. I have made some remarkable friends since I have started CrossFitting 4 months ago here in Tennessee, and now a video like this showing the importance of protecting your family in a way that many wouldn't think of. I have a five-year old son and like everyone else this WOD hits home. I just want to say thank you to everyone who I have met since I began, Coach, and the entire CrossFit community. This has changed my life in so many ways and I am so looking forward to attending the cert in Fort Worth in a few weeks. Be safe and God bless!

Steve

YIKES!!!!!

At first glance, it's a bit unnerving to watch!

I was writhing in my seat to have Caitlin flip over, doing the motion for her...and then "plop", she rights her body and all is well.

What a great program this is. Now I understand what you were talking about Coach/Lauren.

5 minutes rope jumping + Greg's WU + Burgners WU

Time as rex'd

7.00 min.

Good WOD!

That is amazing that a baby can survive like that in the water. In my opinion, I dont agree with just throwing the baby in the water. I know sometimes you have to be pushed to do something, but what is a good age to teach someone to swim or survive in the water? When watching the video for the first time, I can see someone thinking what the heck are these parents doing to there baby?

Having a 3 year old son, I can only begin to imagine what Jeremy and Kelly have gone through.

This will be a tough session as my OHS are so poor, but will have to pull out the stops in honour of a little champion and hero. What a namesake to have.......

Burpees will be tough after burpee pullups today in Fran.

It truly is amazing how powerful this community is. Just reading the excerpt and watching the video brings tears to your eyes. What a tragic loss and inspiriation. I have always thought that children can be your best motivator, and this proves it. We have the "ladies" and the "heroes" but how devestating is it to see a "kids" named workout. With two kids of my own, they are my heroes. I hope I never see another "kids" metcon again!

This one's for you Jeremy!

Whoa...now I see what everyone is talking about. Coulda thought for a second that she was not moving and life-less after she flipped over. Powerful. Coach, the Evil-Genius gets us to kill ourselves in workouts almost everyday AND to run down and sign our kids up for swim training.

Creepy story though, I've been stumbling around the CF site since last OCT and I find something new everyday (Govt Job). Not two days ago I found the Infant Swim Rescue link down at the very bottom. I was going to sign up my boy today (still am). Scooby-do creepy. That, and I was just thinking yesterday that I needed to work on some OHS...seriously spooky. I try not to think about Burpees but even that doesn't do me any good...LOL. Thanks Coach and Mrs. Coach

#18, nothing I know of better to learn swimming step-by-step than "Total Immersion Swimming" by Terry Laughlin. Teaches you step by step drills that get your head in the water where it belongs and teach you to swim in a more streamlined posture (POSE - anyone). The link is, of course, on the CF mainpage but I found this in 2000 when I learned to swim (well) from an Australian Army PT guy. What a sweet MOS. Forget a sorry Master Fitness Trainer, these guys run PT for their Units everyday. What could be better? Oh yeah, having your own CF Affiliate for your kids to play in everyday...

Can't remember who said that ISR is too expensive but it's just like CF. How much is poor health worth to you. How much is your child's life worth to you. The instructor I found charges $85 per week for 5 days-a-week sessions. That's ONLY $17 an hour. You are not puttin much food on the table with one-on-one sessions at that price. Amazing price IMHO.

This won't be enjoyable after yesterday. Still aim to get through the burpees in straight sets, and then cry on OHS lol.

Every kid should be taught how to do that.
Just a few weeks ago down the street from where we live a boy and girl(twins three years old)died after they got in their neighbors pool.

I can still remember my first swim lessons when I was very young. It was really scary to me at the time but I dont have any phobias. I would think people who are not taught to swim have more water phobias than those who are.

Good work out blasted my legs.

Great idea on teaching kids to swim....we are renting our home w/ pool as we go on our next assignment but would not rent to folks with young kids. No amount of locks and alarms will protect kids from reaching the pool; standard comment "i was distracted for just a minute....".
As for the video? If you get the camera as an after thought and the kiddo is crying then maybe best to shoot the video another day. Keep in mind when she was tossed in she was bawling, after that survival kicked in. I suspect that the swimming is fun and a great interaction with parents and kids but looked like fun meter was pegged. my 2 cents

from a fireman who after 6 years of seeing burnt bodies, de-capitations, traumas that even hollywood special effects could not re-create...the one call that to this day that has touched my heart the most was the drowning of a 3 year old girl that I performed CPR on for more than 45 minutes...in honor of her & Jeremy I will "hang it all out today". To Jeremy's parents raise his life up & remember to never stop looking around for his "signals" to you.

Terrifying and exciting....... great teaching video. People get thrown in and fall into water everyday. It is imperative to know you and your children are able to swim. This is one less thing to worry about when out of each others sight. It looks like a great confidence has been gained by many through "Infant Swim Resource".

As someone who has had to pull MANY MANY children out of the water while their parents were sunning themselves or flirting with another parent or just comparing new handbags, children will not learn when they are ready. It takes active promotion of swimming skills by the parents. The people with water phobias are normally those who have never had any training in the water.

The best swimmers I have seen are those who were immersed from an early age...I have seen as early as 4 months

The fact of the matter is that children will and can learn whenever the parent takes the time to teach them, until that point they will not be comfortable in the water and never will without training.

-You are correct, it is the responsibility of the parents to keep them safe. As for me, i will teach my children as soon as i can, as well as watch them every minute they are in the pool

#119, Keith M,

I'm currently doing the 5/2 split, but typically follow the 3/1. The most significant factor I've noticed is come day four and especially day five, it's sometimes difficult to muster up the required intensity. I'm just too spent. However, coming off a two-day rest, I'm much more refreshed. Overall, I like the 3/1 better, and once summer is over, I'll be back to it. Regardless of what you maintain, though, you'll still reap amazing benefits.

This is a little difficult, but here goes...
My great Uncle Frank passed away after a short and heartbreaking battle with Lung Cancer on July 3rd. I wished to honor them both, so I put together my personal "Frank" workout and "Jeremy" and this is what I got. I absolutely NO disrespect in doing this, guys. I hope I don't offend anyone. Today was a emotionally powerful day for me... I did this workout with strength in my heart knowing that Frank was watching me (laughing, knowing Frank) possibly while bouncing Jeremy on his knee. Rest in peace guys.

will be visiting Ocean City, NJ today for fun at the beach. I'll be on the look out for John Wopat swimming out to the third bouy.

Coach (et, al.) the infant swim research is the best thing for early swimmers, IMHO. Both of my children went through it when they were babies and now they are like fish. That was 10 and 7 years ago respectiviely. It is expensive and the classes are extremely short ad the struggles you see your kids go through during the class is painful but in the end when you se your kid do the "swim - float- swim" and they can barely even walk, that makes all the difference. Just my two cents.
Ciao for now

When I read "Jeremy" was the workout of the day it did not ring a bell with me. I thought it may have been an older workout that I just didn't remember, or, worse, for a service man or police officer killed.

When I clicked on the name I was stunned to see the picture of a child and my eyes welled with tears as I read the memorial.

My father once told me, "You will never know love until you have a child of your own." Truer words have never been spoken to me, and I doubt any ever will be. My mother once said, "The death of a child is the hardest one to deal with." I pray that I will never know that pain.

So I will do the "Jeremy" today. I will do it for the family. And will do it for the completely selfish and stupid reason that some how, some way, if I put forth enough effort, it will act as a talisman and keep my own kids free from harm.

To Jeremy, May the Lord bless you and keep you. And to his family, I pray that the passage of time will ease the tremendous sense of loss you must feel.

I was forced to scale this because my shoulder was bothering me from yesterday's thrusters.

I felt like absolute crap afterwards. Didn't know if I would puke or not, forearms were fried, back of throat singed. It took me a good 30 minutes to feel healthy again.

Sitting here in the office, two hours later, I feel awesome. I want to jump up and dance around. There must be some great endormorphins in my bloodstream.

This is the inverse sequence of what drinking lots of beer does to me (feel awesome for a short while, then crappy for a longer while). I like Fran better.

in a city of 8 million people, we have yet to get an ISR instructor in NYC. A local baby/toddler swim class named "Take Me to the Water" has only taught my 15mo old to splash around and goof off while I hold her, and not even mentioned or covered in the slightest anything related to water safety.

1st day back!

But glad to be back.

OMG! My jaw dropped when I watched that video! I'll be honest...I had really mixed emotions after watching this. I sat watching it in stunned horror with my hand covering my mouth; I was ready to cry! Then I saw her flip over, and I was so relieved! Who would've thought!? I thought in my head, "Good LORD they've lost their minds!" But after sleeping on it, I totally get it now. I really do. My boyfriend told me the story about Jeremy, and I couldn't even imagine (as coach said) pulling my child lifeless from the bottom of a pool.

Thank you for making all of us aware of this amazing ISR program. I will be immediatly recommending it to my friends with small children and swimming pools! Coach, you never cease to amaze me with the depth of information you provide to your CrossFit Community. It is deeply appreciated.

Allison (Comment #15),

Using a rack for Fran is acceptable. Some people choose to take it off the floor due to necessity (no rack available) and some do it b/c they feel it saves time. If you cannot do the thrusters largely unbroken, such as your case with 95#, taking it off the floor will require much more energy to be expended vs taking it off the rack and reracking for rest. It is really up to you and your resources. BTW - I won't tell Coach B that you're having trouble with your cleans :)

As for touching the chest to the bar. That rule is NOT Rx'd Fran to be clear. The WOD at the games was not Fran. It was similar, but the contact rule was applied to the WOD and that is why they didn't name the WOD "Fran" during the games. You can CHOOSE to up the standard for Fran if you like, but the old rules still apply to do it Rx'd.

Now, to answer your second question: The contact rule itself didn't have a height requirement per se. According to the rules at the Games, contact was to be made at or below the clavicle to be acceptable.

I hope that helps. Good for you for gutting out a Heavy Fran yesterday!!

Jeremy and Kelly

Your sweet little giant is soooo powerful. Jeremy

is making a huge impact on people's lives today.

He is reaching us individually and reminding us

of how to treasure every moment that we spend

next to our children.

He is making us reflect in our strategies as

parents. He is bringing us closer. He is pulling

us out of this fast lane that we live in just to

make us realize how good we have it. He is

reminding us that there is still love among us,

and that we care for others; he is showing us

that hope is not a meaningless word.

Jeremy and Kelly; there is no doubt this powerful

little giant will grow within you guys, making

you way stronger

I've been feeling stronger lately, which I can probably attribute to finally gaining 5 pounds, which I'm trying hard to keep on (as long as macadamia nuts are stocked, there's really no problem, though). Great wod, great (but scary) video.

Could I please get some advice on rowers?

I'm looking to purchase a good model for my home crossfit gym. It looks like the concept 2 is the rower of choice among crossfitters, but I am also looking at a lifecore r100. From the looks of this review it looks like a pretty good machine.

I'm not a rower and I've never used either machine, but I am determined to get one to complete my gym.

Any input would be helpful.

Why? Why are the innocent punished? Why the pain? There aren't any promises. Nothing certain. Only that some get called, some get saved. He won't ever know the hardship and grief for those of us left behind. We commit him to God with a glad heart. For within each seed, there is a promise of a flower, and within each death, no matter how small, there's always a new life. A new beginning.

Sorry for the long post.

ISR is incredible!

I am the father of twin 3 1/2 year old boys, and we started them in ISR at 16 months. It does seem a little traumatic at first, but it really is not that bad. The older of the two (by 1 min.) never cried, the younger cried every time he took a lesson. It wasn’t the water or the swimming it was the fact that he was made to go through the lesson. Months later he would swim and have fun, but every time my wife took him aside to reinforce the instructor’s lesson, he cried.

By 18 months old my boys were jumping off the side of the pool (parent always in the water) and submerging at least 8 – 12 inches. They would surface unaided, then look for and swim to the wall. Parents of 5 & 6 year old children were sitting with their mouths open, amazed at what the boys were doing. Meanwhile their kids sat on the stairs with water wings and floaters to scared to do anything, and unwilling to try without an exhausting amount of encouragement.

Unfortunately my younger son developed epilepsy 14 months ago, and due to the nature of his episodes he can not be in the water unless he is being held. The timing of his 1st episode happened 5 days before we were to go back to ISR for a refresher, since swim season was coming up and we had not been in a pool for 6 months. We had to cancel the sessions and did not bring our older son back for lesson because we basically avoided any water activity for the past year. This summer we knew we had to get our older son reacquainted with the water since it is all around us in FL. He had forgotten everything he had learned previously and we had to start from scratch, including over coming fear.

I guess the short of all of this is that ISR works and will give your child a better chance of surviving a water accident. I have no doubt that my sons would be accomplished swimmers at 3 ½, had situations been different. Just` remember that the lessons need to be reinforced and repeated in order to attain long term retention.

Thanks for the video coach it brought back a lot of pleasant memories.

Do we have to keep explaining how we did each movement to prove ourselves or defend our times. You, and only you, know what kind of movmements you performed during the workouts. Full range of motion is the name of the game (chest to bar, a** to calves, full extension of hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, etc.) and if you can't get there, scale the load and/or reps or finish the workout slower.

Completed in under 10:00 but not real sure the exact time. Once, even without weight on the OHS (only 8# bar), the WOD was exhausting. If I would have done a warmup then I am sure I would have gone over 10 minutes. IM EXHAUSTED....When will the benefits start kicking in????

Miles, nice to see your post, how have you been?

I don't see why others saw the video as scary. The child is a little upset, but hardly crying by most parent's standards. I think the water safety training is fantastic and am looking into it in my area. When is comes to water there are no second chances, this is just another safety measure in addition to gates, alarms, and of course parental supervision. A tragic accident could easily occur before a child is old enough to learn how to swim the traditional way.

In July of 06 my husband and I attended a CF training seminar in San Diego. After about 5 days away from my son I was starting to miss him. It was a day or two after we returned when Jeremy's (who was the same age as my son) death workout was posted. I can remember spontaneously crying for several days after that. Given the context of the tragedy, Jeremy and his family will always have a special place in my heart. My heart and prayers for healing go out to them.

Man, I suck.

21-15-9 + burpees, I am going to tell my mom.

I'm with ya Dorie...a little whimper is fine in my books to drown-proof (well, down-resist) a child, and the younger the better. Those infant-swim people are experts at reading an infant's behavior in water. All the kiddies I've seen float ISR style get really calm, perhaps a little frustrated after being there for a few minutes. But, after all, you want them to cry when they're in the water ('alone') since you're drown-proofing them. The video I saw was of a 11month old boy just willingly jump in, turn and float.
I'll give the WOD the respect it deserves when I get to it in a few days, as I'm still back at the 5 x 3 PP.

I have a question for any takers, I am a tall man 6'5" 205lbs with long arms. Been doing crossfit for about 10 months and still have some trouble with all the pullups, even kipping. Anyone have any advice for me, techniques for the vertically advanced??

Terrible about young Jeremy. We lost a 21 year old years ago and it still hurts. Our prayers are with you.

About your video. One problem I see is the parents can get sucked into believing a child is drown proof and lose vigilance. My question is; in 6 months will the toddler remember what he learned? I am all for the training, but it may solve little.

I pulled a 5 year old girl out of the Y pool who was drowning because she was told not to grab the lane lines! She started to do so, remembered the warning, and stopped and sank.

Enjoy your sight and all the responses.

OHS easy.....Burpees hard.....

235 Gene:

I started doing the wods at 39, 30# overweight and in the worst condition of my life. I'm just now (15 months later) starting to do a fair number of the wods as RX'd. Give it time, and notice the gradual improvements. It helped me to use a percentage of weight as a guide, i.e. 50% of the prescribed weight, until that got easier, then it was 55%, then 60%, etc. Also, check out the scaled wods from BrandX (tab on the left side of the page). Keep it up, it'll work!

Best,

#266 that was amazing to watch! Great Job Brent!

Man this was my first day trying out crossfit and I got my workouts so mixed up. I did the OHS for today and pullups from yesterday 21x15x9. I feel bad skipping the burpees, they are so much fun.... 10.16 was my time though. Maybe i'll go get my share of burpees!!! CHEATER

ROM was good, but slow cycle times despite mostly unbroken sets. Burpees in the heat and humidity killed me.

I have 2 and 1/2 year old girl, I can't even comprehend the loss.

My friend just had his 11 month old son in one of those water safety training programs. He had to wear a full winter coat, pants, and shoes during the "test". It's pretty amazing--he flipped right over, floated on his back and started calling for his mom.

7min. 24sec.

A 'semi-intensity' day in prep for Tough Guy on Sunday (rest tomorrow)
So given todays WOD I thought I'd take the opportunity to see what I can do on OHSs.

Overhead Squat: BW @ 60kg
5 @ broomstick
3 @ 20kg
3 @ 22.5kg
3 @ 25kg
3 @ 27.5kg
3 @ 30kg (50%BW)
1 @ 32.5kg

Notes:
Didn't feel like I was done - however lost the 2nd lift @ 32.5 but couldn't dump it - in a gym with metal plates.
So thought I would call it a day there for today.
Its a start.

Will hit up an appropriately scaled version of todays WOD soon.

I can only get better at OHS!

I'm going to do this one with OH KB Squats instead of using the bar because I'm going away for the weekend. What weight should I use to make it comparable to 95# OHS with a bar?

1 round of 9 reps per movement

God, I had a lot of trouble with this. I can only get better at OHS. I used only the bar, and I couldn't seem to keep my heels on the ground through the motion. Can anyone tell me how to rectify this? Thanks.

Boy, nothing like the immeasuable love a parent has for his/her children (or the incredible pain a parent feels at the loss of a child) for motivation . . . . .

Awoke this a.m. knowing it was make up day, then I watched the video, read about and researched Jermery's story and found myself in tears.

So I made up Fran (pr) and the 2k row this morning.

This afternoon, Jermey, I knocked this one out for you and those loved ones you left behind.

Burpees are common within MMA, though, so i've done plenty of those.

For those of you who ask "will this child forever fear water after this experience?" I have to say I love the water. As comfortable there as on land. Underwater - even better. I grew up in Southern CA and although ISR may be newer, I had that same training as an infant 35 years ago. Mom said I cried too but flipped and floated. Agree that it is a great skill to have along with constant supervision around water. The 2 together are a winning combination to create a life-long water loving swimmer...

Now Jeremy - my heart is with you and your family. I remember.

16 weeks prego!
did as many rounds in 10 min of:
10 push press - 10 kg
10 21# kb sdlhp

I hear ya, i'm 6'6" with a 6'8" wing span (weird eh? My pull up bar is currently set up in a door threshold and I can kneel on the floor still wrap my fingers fully around the bar which I can walk under as well.)

I have trouble getting the numbers too. I'll eventually be able to get the similar results as the shorter/stalkier guys....but when the time comes that I really need the skill at least I'll be able to reach whatever I need to climb up and over.

Until then I just keep having to make that grueling, long trip to the top of the bar.

Ally,
As long as you are using good form IMO you can’t go wrong with power cleaning the weight in preparation for thrusters. It probably won’t help you if you are trying to improve your time and you have to put the weight back on the floor a few times. If you are trying to improve your fitness level though, WOW I have a hard time imagining a better way.
I still clean the weight from the floor on all of my push-press, thrusters and front squats.
As far as the pull-ups go I tend to agree with Paul. The higher up on your chest (the sternum) the less the chance for an injury to your collarbone or, as you start to get tired, to your chin and jaw. Good luck and keep kickin’ a$$!!

#169

I’ve played around with a few rowers, but decided on the concept rowers more than 10 years ago. My first was one of the C models and it was great. I bought one of the D models when they came out in 2003. So far it has stood up to three military moves including two overseas. It has required only a small amount of maintenance (chain oil, keeping the rails wiped down and clean, and some basic housekeeping). I have put more than 1,000,000 meters on it not including what my wife and kids have added to it. I love it! Here is their website maybe it will help you in your decision. www.concept2.com Good luck!

I used to Lifeguard and teach kids swimming lessons and the video is so amazing because I've seen kids twice that age that couldn't even do that and I've also seen the terror in a kids eyes as they sink, this toddlers zen like composure once flipped over in the water is amazing.

Foam roll after

So, I made a major foul today. My fear of further damaging my shoulders led me (or misled) me to not trust my body and my OHS ability. I didn't use the Rx weight for my work, because I didn't believe that I could. After finishing the "timed" portion of the workout, I tried a good amount of OHS with loads that I was very uncomfortable with. I realized that, I was just not giving myself a sufficient amount of warm up time and movements. I did a few reps with loads I hadn't done in a while and some with loads I had never done. I guess the moral to my story is that doing ALL of the other movements involved with CrossFit "secretly" makes you stronger at things that you struggle with, even when you're not working on them directly. Thanks Coach for this program, it truly is second to none!!

some good advice I received a bit back was to act as if you were going to sit in a seat and lift your toes thru the tops of your shoes...works well for me.

burpees are still the devil

F/5'7"/124 lbs/39 yo -- Buttercup

So this morning i woke up thinking "I have to play in a golf tournament tomorrow so I'm going to skip the WOD today."

Then, I read the WOD and Jeremy story and I started feeling guilty. I was thinking all day that I would let down Jeremy and his family if I slacked off today. But, I'm still sore from the Sumo Deadlift High Pull and the walking lunges one day last week. And, my chest/back is sore from...i don't know what...but i still feel guilty!

So...one set of 21 squats and burpees down...

OK....set of 15 complete...by the end they didn't much resemble burpees but i'm doing my best...

Yeah! I finished my first Jeremy....that was for you kid!

Now...i'm going to go sit in a chair in front of a fan and have a nice cold beer! The beer i'll dedicate to Jeremys parents!

Touching story! I sent it to many friends with small children. I hope they do the burpees and teach thier kids to swim.

Whoopee!

6:09 Women's Rx (65#)

First time doing OHS since Eva showed me how crappy my squat form was. I backed the weight down to 0 and have been rebuilding the form, strengthening the weak links in the chain. As a result, I did broomstick OHS today in 13:24.

I'm honored to have this as my namesake workout, although like all Hero WODs, I'd rather they didn't exist. When our kids finally get here, they will definitely be in ISR!

Honestly, how many Crossfitters share a name with one of the WODs? Do you find you push that much harder on that one?

Worked outside in the sun to get a little variety in my training. Touched a 6" overhead target on all the burpees. I got all the OHS unbroken. The burpees were suprisingly hard. I guess that's what I get for doing those burpee pull-ups yesterday.

i was just curious how anybody schedules there meals prior to working out. Do you have a zone snack 30 minutes before and after your workout or do you have a zone meal 2 hours before the WOD then another one shortly after the WOD. And what's good to eat pre-workout

Scaled OHS to 20lbs

I almost subbed deadlifts for OHS but in the end i decided that if I keep subbing these lifts i'm never going to learn how to do them so this was really rough but i made it.

I'm gonna do something different tomorrow. I am making my own "hero" workout. Professor Randy Pausch passed away this morning after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was an influential professor at Carnegie Mellon University here in Pittsburgh and the author of "The Last Lecture". His courage and will to press on inspired countless people. I would suggest everyone pick up a copy of his book.

The workout will be:

As many rounds as possible in 20 min.
15 pullups
12 man makers w/15 lb. dumbells

If anyone else tries it, drop me a line.

was wondering why i was sucking wind, like ya do w/ Fran, and assumed it was due to alcohol and lack of sleep. low and behold, i had put 45s and not 25s on the bar... which i think is why they say, "if you're not gonna be smart, you gotta be hard..."

That is an awesome video. So many people just say, "oh, no......we can't do that." It is good to see that, at least Caitlin, won't be afraid of the water. Can't live in fear. Nice approach. No pussy footin' on this one.

a question on gym etiquette
is it rude to tell the guy doing bicep curls with just the bar in the squat rack to move so i can safely manage heavier weights? that stuff irks me. and when people are doing bench presses in the rack when there are six open benches and only one rack i want to lose my mind. i know they are entitled to use all the equipment but it is like sunbathing in the last parking spot, just rude.

9:05 That was fun!

i'm still getting OHS down, this was probably the best i've ever done them, i really felt they were all A2A, and same with the burpees, all chest to the ground.

overall i had a great day at the gym, after resting for a bit, i had the sudden urge to try some muscle-ups.

and...yes, I DID MY FIRST MUSCLE UP today, i was so pumped after that, i was literally smilng from ear to ear.

Small bar is killing me with OHS. Only have 100# weight set with 5' bar, so either have problem with hand distance or amount of weight I can put on the bar. Need a bigger bar from Santa, lol. Never needed anything bigger doing bicep curls and tricep extensions. Form is improving dramatically.

with 30k,just can't get the flexibility to do ohs right,burpees were easy,like yesterday the pull ups were easy but struggled with thrusters,lot of improving to do.

sad to hear
I did'nt find any trainers in Canada I will help to liaise with the local YMCA if any are moving to St Thomas or London Ontario. to get it rolling.

subbed 1.5 pood ( 24 kg ) kettlebell dip

Scaled the weight on OHS, still nursing a surgically repaired knee. 8 minutes

using 95# OHS-yay!

Post- "play" handstand push ups, cleans
Then hit a very steep hill off a dam and did 10 hill sprints. It was awesome. I walked backwards on the way back down. It is the steepest hill around.

11:45 as Rx'd
OHS need some work..I found that if I point my feet outward and keep them farther apart, I can keep my heels on the ground. Any input on this?

Just wanted to add that yesterday I did Fran as Rx'd (95# thrusters)for the first time and had 7:50 for time. The last time I did thrusters in a workout, I had to use 65#.

My Crossfit Total also increased from 625 to 675 last time with only about a month in between.
To me, there is no proof like positive results and I've never seen results like this.

I still feel a bit shaky doing the OHS, so I have to really go slowly and concentrate on those.

I have a 7 year old son and a 4 year old daughter. This year a friend of their's passed away after drowning in a pool in which several adults were watching. I can't tell you how heartbroken I was after hearing this. I surf a lot and take my kids with me in the water and can't begin to imagine what it would be like not having them with me.

Then had to honor Jeremy this afternoon.

OHS complete sets. Burpees were just a clap overhead and feet leaving the ground. Hitting a target would have definitely made it more difficult.

Nailed 9 consecutive muscle ups 30 minutes after that. . . it was a good day for sure.

This was a very humbling experience, first time OHS'ing in over a year after some sprained shoulder ligaments.

Gettin stronger,need to be in the games next year

When we moved to Florida, my wife said "we will NOT get a house with a pool." She grew up in Florida and saw too many news reports of infants drowning.

As soon as we got here, she insisted that both our kids (ages 1 and 3) take swimming lessons. The instructor, a kindly old grandma, was ruthless in the water. The kids were basically forced to swim or drown. Both screamed and cried bloody murder for about a week whenever they got in the water with the instructor.

And then a miracle happened. Both kids realized they could swim. Now they swim like little fish, and they love the water. My older son, who is 7, can swim faster than kids twice his age.

And my kids are alive.

Shelve the armchair psychoanalysis about growing up with water phobias. If you have toddlers, get them drownproofed. If you have kids, get them swimming lessons.

very pleased to that this was performed as rx'd.
OHS are a weak point so OPT said it would be better treated as a strength workout with burpees thrown in as opposed to scaling the load.

Matt Murski and I have a 11:00 appointment tomorrow morning that i'm so excited about. (sarcasm)

I'm already hurting after the last few WODs that we have done and this one really put the icing on the cake for my quads. I'm so dead tomorrow.

as rx'd: 5:20

9:15. as prescribed. Pretty disapointed in myself. I think Fran really took it out of me yesterday.

Very sad. My prayers for the family's comfort. I had swim lessons when I was 4 years old. When I was 5-1/2 years old, my friend,his sister, and I snuck in the back yard and went swimming. After we swam for a short time, we tried to ditch the girl (my friends sister Rhonda), and when she tried to swim across the deep end to catch up with us, she drowned (she was 4 1/2). Before we went into the house, I looked back at the pool and did not see Rhonda. I went back near the pool and noticed she was limp, and near the bottom of the deep end of the pool.

My dad had this pole with a net on the end that telescoped out so one could remove bugs and leaves from the surface of the pool. I had used it before to get a toy from the bottom of the pool, so my first thought was to use it. I used this pole to snag her limp body and pull her to the surface where I was able to drag her up and out of the pool. She was not breathing, so I ran and got my mom. My mom gave her moth to moth and she started puking and then breathing. She ended up making it and grew up to be a healthy girl. I got my picture in the local paper with her giving me a kiss (still have the newspaper).

Time went by, and I had not seen or herd from Rhonda in like 25 years. She was able to track me down, and sent me a dozen long stem red roses and a thank you card for saving her life. We met after that, and I took her out to dinner. This was 12 years ago, and I have lost contact with her again.

So ya, teach your kids how to swim, and don't let the sneaky ones get by ya! When my own son was 5 1/2, I remember thinking there is no way a 5 1/2 year old child could have done what I did. I think now that the good Lord had his hand in it as well. Now I save lives for a living, go figure. :)

Someone remind me next time not to under-estimate these workouts. I saw "Squat" and burpees and thought, "OH YA! I can do this 5 min no problem." then I thought about it.....ok maybe 10 Rx'd. Not likely. I made it to 7 of the 21 and thought I was going to die. Terrible form, no balance, technique? what technique. I dropped the weight to 65#'s and cranked out the rest....

11:44 (above + OHC)

One of my goals this year was to attend a cert and it looked like i would get to try next time something opened around dec or later. After watching this video and looking into ISR things are ging to have to change. My daughter is two months old and I honestly had no idea that infants could learn something like this. I figured the tube bathing suit then floaties, etc. was the only way to teach them.
Now it looks like the money I was saving for the cert is going to be going to ISR instead. But I do know I won't regret having to wait. Oh well see you guys at a cert soon. ( just later than I planned.)

Anybody got any good tips on the overhead squat? I think I really screw up on form on this (sharp pain in low back and heels coming up off the floor - this with no weight on the bar). This is a new movement for me and I'm not excited about getting hurt. Appreciate your tips, ideas, reference sources, etc.
--------------
this could the sign of a major postural problem. As a PT this is usually the first thing i have my client do. you have to push you through your heels and sick back on them. keep your shoulders back, throw your hips back and keep them locked. this forces your spine into a neutral position.

Take 3-6 months to develop some core strength and balance. Work your way into being able to perform air squats on a 65cm Swiss ball for balance. Ab work, and lower back work, are a good place to start for the core. I assume you are already doing back squats and front squats, if not, then try a program like the one found here: Stronglifts.com

Then start with a 45 lb. barbell. Practice with this. While holding the bar over head, squeeze your shoulders towards your ears. Gradually add weight as the weeks go by. I suggest you do this for all the core CF exercises. Attend the CF barbel certs, and Olympic weight lifting certs, or find out if there is anyone at your gym qualified to teach them. You may consider your local junior college, and see if they have an Olympic weight lifting class.

Once you have mastered (should take you around 6-12 months) all the basic CF exercises, then work your way into the CF WOD's.

Good luck!

Coach

That is unbelievably generous of you and will look forward to meeting you and thanking you in person. I've already sent the info on ISR to two friends who have 13 and 15 mo. olds. Hopefully they will see the same value and importance that i did. I'm going to email you and will include a link to my homepage so you can see some pictures of the little one.

Thanks again.

When I did this workout, which I completed in under 12 minutes (I didn't get the exact time), I found that my flexibility limits my ability to squat while keeping the bar overhead. As I squat, my arms and the bar come forward. Are there exercises and stretches that I should be doing to allow me to do the OHS with proper technique? I felt some strain on my shoulder today.

Ran 1 mile.

9:11 as rx'ed

M/24/149/5'10"

95# too much for my weak shoulders. 8 of first 21 at 95# but the pain did not feel beneficial. Didn't have any other bumper weights handy to throw on the bar, so had to OHS just the bar for the remainder of the WOD.

I'm 100% in favor of helping children feel more comfortable in the water. I do this by personally getting in there with them. When I'm not in the water. I close the gate to the pool. Children are quick but it's really on the parents to insure their safety. Make the pool inaccessible to your toddler like the electrical outlets, stairs and chemicals under the sink. I'm going to get down to brass tax. If you can't keep your kids away from the pool then you need to ask yourself if you are responsible enough to have one. How long is a child going to sit and float like that anyway? 15 minutes? An hour? They can't very well yell out can they? Watch your kids or make it impossible to get to the pool. It seems more humane than tossing them face first into the drink. It's sad to hear about the loss of a child. Im guessing it will also be sad when that kid grow up and sees that video. I'd be pretty resentful.
