Assuming were going to hit each element in succession and rest PrN between rounds as in Lynne?

yes...this is a great warmup for our 'lynne-off' that is set for december 5.

Dear Libby,
Will you go out with me? Circle yes or no.

yes no

My brother is playing Jr. A hockey here in Ontario. Would it be too much if he did crossfit outside of hockey training. They usually train 4 days a week plus a game or two?

any advice would be appreciated, thanks

Comment #14 - Posted by: tyler mcbride (long island) at September 9, 2008 7:20 PM

It's nice to see back squats in a wod for reps and not just for weight.(3-3-3-3-3) I wonder if we will ever see a back squat in a wod for time.

But yeah, I'm excitted for this one, and yes that is an awesome pic!

Comment #15 - Posted by: Cass at September 9, 2008 7:21 PM

Well again it's good to put a face to a name; I just called Libby 'the girl in the red shorts' when I was at the Games. I do remember her pull-ups during that particular WOD.

GoStampsGo, you gotta be from Calgary. If your bro is in the middle of hockey camps he's gonna want to back off the hardcore CF stuff now and stick with strength and sports specificity.

I hope I spelled that right because I don't want to look it up. GOOGLE MAKES ME SMARTER!!

Comment #16 - Posted by: gaucoin at September 9, 2008 7:22 PM

I just saw a ridiculous commercial that was trying to say the High Fructose Corn Syrup was GOOD for you. They even have a website. www.sweetsurprise.com Blah Blah Blah! Their argument is that it has as many calories as sugar and honey, and it's all natural made from corn with no preservatives. :)

Comment #17 - Posted by: mblarkin at September 9, 2008 7:22 PM

I assume there is unlimited rest _between_ exercises/rounds, but how should we proceed _during_ the back squat? BW is a relatively light load, and if you go into "breathing squats" mode, that first set could last for ages.

PUs and BPress are more straightforward in that respect, since hanging from the bar or holding the barbell up isn't exactly a good resting position.

So, one breath and down for the squats, or as long as you can keep the bar on your back?

PS: Blades #7, don't worry, ulterior posters are already picking up the slack.

Comment #19 - Posted by: spence at September 9, 2008 7:24 PM

#16 It might be a bit to much as he already get only a day of rest a week. I'm no expert but it's my two cents! :-)

Crossfit will help his fitness no question but they might want him on his own training program, My brother played in the O for 4 years and I just introduced him to crossfit and he is loving it, he went out east for school so I'm not sure if he is still doing it, but maybe just get him doing a couple wods a week.

Thats my two cents anyway

Who is your bro playing for?

Comment #23 - Posted by: Cass at September 9, 2008 7:29 PM

R.I.P. Evan Tanner. I dedicate this workout to him and will push myself harder than I ever have...

No Way. B and I were talking about Libby today. We couldn't remember her name so we called her the hottie with the red shorts. Good job Girl.

REST BREAKS: If it's like "Lynne" go from one exercise to the next without rest and then take a break between rounds.

Watch Brendan do "Lynne". I think it says he rested 5 minutes between rounds.

I got hooked onto CF about 3 weeks ago from a friend. I have never been pushed so hard in a workout and love it.

I help coach a 7/8 grade football team out east and have been introducing the following CF workout to the team (50 players):
3 days a week
3 rounds: 3PU, 10SQ, 10push-up, 10 crunches.

They have been loving it. I'll take any suggestions anyone may have.

Comment #31 - Posted by: Chris at September 9, 2008 7:44 PM

Wow! this is going to kill. My chest still hurts from "linda".

So here is a link to my new PR on "Fran" I am not out to be criticized or complimented, It might nor be the best form or Fran anyone as seen by any measure. I just was just stoked to really see how the Paleo/zone improved my overall performance. My last PR was 2:49 now this at 2:19. That is about a 20% increase in work output... not bad for just changing my diet.

Comment #32 - Posted by: Max Fernandez at September 9, 2008 7:44 PM

I'm new to xfit and have been scaling weights to around 50% so far. I can do a bw squat, but only maybe 1-3 reps. I am trying to figure out the spirit of this one. My guess is I should scale this to maybe 60% and go for 10+ reps.

My 1RM bench is around 145, pretty far under my bwt, so that has to scale or there's no point.

Opinions?

Comment #33 - Posted by: ed at September 9, 2008 7:46 PM

Going to have to do this WOD "Rocky IV" style. In a hotel w/no acess to a gym.. Unless I can find CF Nashville.

CCTJoey- Working on hitting up C.A.O.S. Thursday.

Get some, Go again!

Comment #34 - Posted by: DJ at September 9, 2008 7:48 PM

This is the second rotation of WODs with Bench Pressing. Atypically random! I will substitute max reps of 1/2 BW shoulder press when I get to this WOD, 4 days from now.

I'm conducting WODs one 3-day cycle behind schedule, thereby being able to adjust my other activities and Olympic lifting accordingly.

This method also has the added advantage of having all of you wonderfully eager Crossfitters acting as my volunteer test subjects, as you post times, nuances, and general feedback from the WODs. So far it's working brilliantly. Thanks guys! :)

Comment #35 - Posted by: Herm @ CF Los Altos, CA at September 9, 2008 7:48 PM


Regarding rest breaks between exercises and rounds, since this can indeed assumed to be "Lynne" style, here is the definitive answer: http://www.board.crossfit.com/showpost.php?p=243483&postcount=12

Rest as much or as little as you want.

Comment #36 - Posted by: Ewen at September 9, 2008 7:49 PM

is there a certain point where we stop. like body weight squats, or do i just go until i cant move and then start the next round.

Comment #37 - Posted by: nick at September 9, 2008 7:49 PM

is there a certain point where we stop, like with the body weight squats which could take forever or do we just go until we cant move any more.

Max, thanks for posting that bit of inspiration. You're going to get lots of compliments on that piece of work, and deservedly so. Your form was very tight, and you have a butterfly kip I am jealous of. You, sir, are an animal. RESPECT!

Max,

Solid Fran performance! I was just watching some of the old videos of Fran, and I must say, your thrusters are totally legit! Full extension, ear visible, and chin completely above the bar.

Get Some!

Love this WOD by the way.

Chris, I got a great one for you! Look up "Team Workouts" on the main page. Divide the players up into groups and have them do team events against the other groups. Develops a ton of teamwork and camraderie.

Also, why not substitute in burpees for pushups, it is more translational to the football field. And trade in the crunches for straight-legged sit-ups or even partner-assisted leg-throws.

Good stuff Chris! Glad to see you introduce our training to our future CFers! :)

Ed, try shooting for a weight you can do for 10 reps on the first set and push like hell to try to maintain the same amount of reps on each subsequent set. That's what I would do if I were in your position.

These are body weight back squats not body weight squats. You need to use a barbell that weighs as much as you weigh.

Comment #47 - Posted by: Alfie at September 9, 2008 8:16 PM

this is my first time doing this wod and am wondering like the rest of you about rest intervals, I am assuming since its not for time and we are keeping track of reps for each round that we want to rest not only between rounds but also between exercises within the rounds. Is this correct, I am planning on about 1 1/2 mins rest bet exercises and maybe 3mins bet rounds. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also I am going to a level 1 cert next month and am totally PUMPED I cant wait. thanks all

"REST BREAKS: If it's like "Lynne" go from one exercise to the next without rest and then take a break between rounds."

Sorry Allison, but you're wrong on this one. However, it would be a very interesting WOD if it was done w/o the rest between bench, pull-ups, and squats. If someone was craving a METCON on this WOD, try this rep scheme with it and let me know how it goes:

15-12-9-6-3

EEK!

Comment #57 - Posted by: Adam/TempleOwl M/20/6'2"/185 at September 9, 2008 8:43 PM

Herm #59: I checked the FAQ.

For "Lynne" it says there is NO time component. So since this WOD is pretty much Lynne with back squats I guess that means it doesn't matter if people want to rest or Not between exercises or between rounds.

I'd just post the rest if there is any.

I used the WOD demo of "Lynne" as an example. But Maybe B was doing it WRONG too.

Agreed. Either way, it's gonna be a killer WOD!

"I used the WOD demo of "Lynne" as an example. But Maybe B was doing it WRONG too."

Allison, it's all good. He didn't do it exactly as Rx'ed, i.e. no rest between the bench and the pull-ups. However, if he did it wrong, it's still very impressive. 200+ reps as Rx'ed is insane, but the way he did it made 200+ even tougher!

Holy posting machine, Batman! I have all of this pent up rest day energy...can hardly wait to destroy "Linda" tomorrow! :D

Herm #65: NOT resting between exercises is not NOT doing it as RX'd. Since there isn't a time component, anything goes.

Wouldn't you agree? Or is there a specific reason you think rest is mandatory?

And yes, he is a machine and this IS going to be a killer wod. I wasn't stoked when I saw more pull-ups but that's the way it goes ! :)

"NOT resting between exercises is not NOT doing it as RX'd. Since there isn't a time component, anything goes.

Wouldn't you agree? Or is there a specific reason you think rest is mandatory?"

I totally agree with you. Last time I did "Lynne" as Rx'ed I did a set of bench, wrote down the rep count, checked my e-mail, then did a set of pull-ups, wrote the rep count, talked to some other trainers, then did 2nd set of bench, wrote down the reps again, then started talking to some other people about what I was doing...etc.

So basically I rested as much as I wanted. To extend it further, it could have been a whole day of a workout, 1 set on the hour every hour if I wanted it to be...I work in a gym!

But here's where I play devil's advocate:

You ARE pausing between sets, even if you're only putting the bench bar back on the rack and IMMEDIATELY going to the pull-up bar to crank'em out. Who's to say those 3 seconds of "not doing reps" doesn't count as rest?

Technically, you'd have to invent some rack or contraption where you do benches to failure and then you could immediately hang from THAT SAME BENCH PRESS BAR to do pull-ups without ungripping the bar (which would be interesting in itself, to say the least!)

Maybe to that monster known as B in the video, he thought that 3 seconds WAS rest as necessary! ;)

Cheers Allison, thanks for the provocation of silly CF thoughts. You have a great night!

Comment #72 - Posted by: Sevan Matossian at September 9, 2008 9:49 PM

I am resting between sets on this one. I don't know about anyone else but doing max reps on backsquat is going to be a total destruction. I find that anytime you do over 20 backsquats with weight in a row it is a recipe for barfing. I think the rest between rounds will become necessary. I almost wish the Rx'd weight for backsquats was higher so it wouldn't be so cardiovascularly demanding, but I know it will feel good once it is all over.
As for today, I didn't rest:

7 Rounds for time of:

12 Dumbell Front Squats 30# dbs
200m Farmers Walk with two 25lb bumper plates (pinch grip)
12 Dumbell Box step ups (24" box) 30# dbs
12 Weighted unanchored situps 30# db

24:39

Not very taxing from a metcon standpoint but wow did my forearms die on this one!

Comment #73 - Posted by: JC Veggie M/32/175/5'10" at September 9, 2008 9:58 PM

ok, now i'm confused reading the different responses. PLEASE HELP! I would assume that i would do as many reps of the three rounds back to back to back, and then rest before i regain strength (3 to 5 minutes at most) between sets before starting set # 2 of the three. OK, now another question: Lets say I get to pull ups, and I get 20 or so.. Do I let go, catch my breath for a second and get as many as I can until failure. Or once I hit 20 or so, I'm done? I know there is not a set # and/or timed, but what does get as many as you can mean? Once I feel like I reached failure, should I stop for that set, or shake my hands and crank out ten more kipping? I will be checking back a little later for clearification. Thank You

Comment #74 - Posted by: Kip at September 9, 2008 10:02 PM

so are kipping pull ups the default CF pull-up or is it like sit-ups where you just chose a way and track your progress?

Comment #77 - Posted by: Skeletor at September 9, 2008 10:28 PM

My CrossFit experience says to do this WOD like "Lynne". Rest in between rounds not exercises.

#74 To me "max reps" means to max each round to failure. That being said I have learned that you can use a lot of strategy to improve your scores in CrossFit. If you think you can do more total reps by not maxing out to failure then go for it.

I have a question. Has anyone ever thought of making it a trend to sign the comments with a "L1C" or "L2C" for "Level 1 Cert" or "Level 2 Cert" assuming you are certified? I think it would be interesting to see.

Comment #70 - Who's to say those 3 seconds of "not doing reps" doesn't count as rest?

It's not enough rest to contribute substantially to recovery. The question is how much recovery to you give yourself between exercises. I understand the workout to recover between rounds only.

BTW, to Shari from Xfit Santa Cruz, sorry you have to put up with that on this forum. You have class, she doesn't and simply doesn't know better.

Let's end this debate here. I'll play the nuetral judge.

Allison, you were WRONG when you said "REST BREAKS: If it's like "Lynne" go from one exercise to the next without rest and then take a break between rounds. "

Herm was RIGHT, "without rest" is incorrect for LYNNE.

This has been fleshed out before, but here's the difference: no guidance has been issued regarding rest for today. My interpretation is to rest. Recommend 4-5 min. for recovery & high output.

Please stop the public bickering now.

On Libby- She's just SO remarkably cute. Head to toes.

What you didn't see in the video was her burpees. She was so fast it was like watching Dutch or Speal with a blonde wig on. She's quite an athlete.

And, Libby, help a sister out: where did you get that adorable headband? It's a must-have.

Comment #104 - Posted by: Spider Chick at September 10, 2008 4:58 AM

So I talked to some trainers at a local gym here in Holland about CrossFit and they offered me a free membership just to come and talk to them about CrossFit. It's looking like this could be the beginning of what I came here to do. Watch out Netherlands, here comes CROSSFIT!!

Had to do the squats on a smith machine, which was really weird. Also dropped the bench down to 71k.

Comment #115 - Posted by: TC at September 10, 2008 6:04 AM

As a complete noob with ZERO experience of training I need to build a base of technique before I can even begin to scale the WODs. My question is what exercises should I learn first and how often should I train them. Do I need to achieve a level of strength before I can start with WODs or do I build up weighted exercises only as often as they are prescribed? Sorry if you’ve heard these questions before, but I need your experience and guidance, friends.

#117 Erin_UK

Welcome aboard, you won't look back. The longer I'm in this and help new folks, the more I am convinced that you must have an experienced trainor introduce and train you in this. Virtuosity can not be obtained without trained eyes watching your form, besides the fact that injuries are most common without training, at any level of experience. Bottom line, get some help, start light, even without weight or a PVC, and get the form down first, THEN worry about weight, time, and intensity. The fallacy especially with some of the bodyweight movements is that its simple and you can't get hurt.....that is not true. Good luck and if its not answered in the FAQ's, there are no bad questions here.

Look at the Start Here section of the main page. It has a beginning workout schedule you can follow.

And in that same "Start Here" section, go to BrandX and they have WOD postings on their forum which they post scaled down versions for different levels and explanations as to how to do the WODs. They also give you an unofficial target time to finish in when applicable. I use it to see if I scaled down too little or too much. And then adjust the next time I do the same WOD. I find it very helpful.

Goodluck. :)

Who has 5 minutes to rest between every movement? that's 70 minutes of resting!?!

For those of us who workout at lunchtime, it's more reasonable to rest between completed rounds only.

Ok, so I've been delving deep into the CF world lately... online at least. I'm currently deployed on a ship and really don't have too many resources to go to, so I figured I would attempt to ask you all, and this seems like a decent place to do that. As Jay M. in SC said, I need somoene watching me, so would it behoove me to wait until I got back from deployment, or is there anything I can do to get started now? There are pleanty of guys around the weight room who are more than willing to help a chick get good technique, but not a whole lot of them know much about Crossfit. I've seen some people around the ship working with kettlebells so I've thought about asking them if they're crossfitting, but I haven't actually worked up the nerve yet. Either way, what is your guys' opinion? Thank you very much!

Pull-ups were slightly jumping & landing, I could barely touch the floor with my fingers around the bar.

I felt exhausted after each squat set. Whoever thinks this doesn't have a metcon component is wrong. This was like running sprints for me. My heart rate was 160+ bpm after the first 3 squat sets. I quit on the 4th. I'm really disappointed, but I was thinking in my mind about Rippetoes comment that working out should be fun. This wasn't fun today, unlike the previous xfit workouts I've done. I think maybe I didn't eat enough yesterday, or sleep enough last night, or something.

Heard on the radio this morning, method popularized in 1776 on how to stay warm all winter long with a single log:

step 1: throw log out of upstairs window
step 2: run downstairs and retrieve log
step 3: quickly haul log upstairs, go to step 1

repeat until sufficiently warm

I was thinking, that sounds like a crossfit workout. Uh oh, I sure hope coach wasn't listening to the same radio program as me....

i am writing to see if someone could possibly help to make up a WOD for a firefighter who died in the 9/11 attacks......I was just told the heroic story of Stephen Siller, who on 9/11(while his company had all ready left for the World Trade Center) ran to Ground Zero in his full bunker gear and air pack. He ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel all the way to the World Trade Center. I was told this is a distance of over 2.5 miles!! Unfortunately while Stephen did help save many lives, his life was taken from him that day. I myself am a firefighter and couldn't be more proud of Stephen's efforts. I would like to honor him with a WOD on 9/11 and need some help to assemble a workout worthly of his effort. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.....
thank you

Coach / Lauren !

Please settle the WOD rest controversy once and for all!

For this one and Lynne as well!

Only your words will save us. HELP!!

Comment #162 - Posted by: settle it! at September 10, 2008 8:01 AM

Maybe the whole question about resting isn't as important as it appears. Like other WOD's, it's a baseline used to compare/contrast against future workouts.
So, as long as you're consistent with this WOD in the future, it may not really matter.
That said, I like the idea of moving quickly from one exercise to the next, but resting (panting) 3 mins between rounds.
Either way, Allison is probably correct in her assertion that rest periods be posted.

Mark 163 - totally agree. Why are some of you so obsessed with getting the "right" rest time? Surely this is an area where athletes can make a decision, experiment, try different things?

Are you crossfitters or are you sheep?

10 Min Spin on Bike

CFWU x 3 minus pull-ups. Situps done on decline board.

Wieght 163lbs. Scaled up to #165lbs for wod:

Wod: Bench: 1. 6 2. 6 3. 6 4. 6 5. 5
Pull Up: 1. 12 2. 10 3. 7 4. 7 5. 7
Squat: 1. 15 2. 12 3. 13 4. 12 5. 13

I think I could have been more consistant on the squats with more practice. Breathing made a huge difference in the last few reps.

#165

I believe there is a petition for a WOD to Honor Firefighters on the message board. Im starting recruit training in January and I can only imagine what it would be like to loose a brother/co-worker that day.

Anybody check out the latest CF Journal article written by Kallista Pappas "My 2008 CrossFit Games Experience"? That girl is amazing!! She's a super stud athlete and I have to say that her article was very well written. Very inspiring stuff. Great job Kallista! I hope my daughter grows up to have the kind of determination and amazing attitude you have.

Anyone that hasn't subscribed to the journal, you are missing out big time on articles like this one!

Comment #181 - Posted by: Reno_Ty at September 10, 2008 8:38 AM

Male - 89kg

5 min row warmup

Then

1: Bench: 90kg (198lbs) - 5,3,2,1,1 (failed on last two sets)
2: PullUps - Wide Grip, Dead Man Hang - 5,5,5,5,6
3: Squat: 90kg (198lbs) - 3,3,3,3,2

This was very tough, didn't have a spotter which made the bench and squats difficult. Did full ROM on bench press, i.e bar hitting chest, and also full range on squat. Makes a heck of a lot of difference for me.

I've always wanted to do bodyweight bench and squat so I am pleased with my achievement, just need to improve now...

Pullups: 21, 20, 20, 20, 10 Total: 91
Back squat: 17, 15, 15, 15, 10 Total: 72

Last round I had to cut short - as I started 5th round, UW IMA maintenance guys began cordoning off platforms to resurface. Didn't want to make the guys' morning tougher, so as they got to mine I just hammered out a few reps and called it quits.

Squats were tough after PUs, which made it feel like the hardest (though, by the numbers, bench was clearly lowest). Felt good, especially given that I haven't been able to do Linda yet (definitely felt lower back during squats today, so it's still going to be another week or so before any deadlifts again).

I'm thinking I'll be doing CF Endurance's reverse tabata this noon (the name makes me want to really mix it up and run backwards :P).

Take care!

I'm starting to kip much better. Most of the reps on my last 3 sets were chest-to-bar.

After my third set there was a guy at the gym who told me, "That's cheating. You're using your legs!" I said, "It's not cheating. It's called kipping."

Since tomorrow is 9/11, I know there are some CrossFit civilians who would like to do something nice for our local heroes. Here's an idea: bring lunch or treats (zone favorable of course) to your local fire or police dept. or take a friend in the military out to lunch.

Or does that defeat the object of the wod?

the question I have is, if I get down to doing things by content (i.e. protein fat carbs) per item instead of doing blocks, so it works out to be 40/30/30 close to exactly

is that better than doing the blocks where for one example peanuts are listed as a "fat" in #21 am I not supposed to count the protein in them toward the 40/30/30? I know it says that one block of protein takes into account the fat content but does the fat block take into account the protein content?

thanks in advance

Not bad but I've unfortunately been on quite the Crossfit break for the past 3 weeks. The gym with olympic bars at my Uni was closed so I was stuck doing what I could. In the mean time, however, I nailed down my muscle-ups and if you can beleive it i did more 1.5 pood swings and pullups then following the WOD's includes. That being said, god DAMN does it feel good to be back on.

Couldn't get the Squat rack and bench at the same time today at the globo gym so I did bench w/ about 60-90 sec rests between sets and then did Squats w/ pull ups

#214,

i think that might defeat some of the purpose of the wod. as i understand after you do your first exercise there is some amount of recovery going while you are doing the following exercises so after youve completed the rest of the exercises in the round youve had a bit of rest for the next round. I still took about a minute in between rounds though as this seemed to be more of a stregth wod. your best bet would be to get a partner so you can occupy more territory i.e someone always by the squat or bench press.

Are you willing to use dumbells for the BP? You can always leave the DB's sitting on the bench while you squat, and maybe folks will assume that to mean the equipment is taken.

Comment #244 - Posted by: John Calgary at September 10, 2008 11:35 AM

I have noticed how stress and other factors can change the outcome of your performance in the gym, on the court, on the field, or in the cage. I use x-fit as an escape from other factors in my life that cause stress. I have learned that being tough isnt just blocking the other stuff out, but aknowledge the stressors and perform inspite of them.

I took my first week off of crossfit about a month ago. Prior to this week I had been consistantly following the WODs on the .com skipping only a few when I had other activiites such as volleyball tournaments and races. I felt great coming back that week and it was so important.

However 2 weeks ago the stress started piling up. The hurricane (I live in New Orleans), an ill parent, and an ending to a relationship all came in one week for me.

I guess my point to all this rambling is to .... do what you can when you can. Push yourself but in a way that it makes you stronger physically, mentally, or psychologically. When you start making yourself weaker and hurting your CNS, your performance will obvioulsy not get better, but it will decline.

My favorite crossfit quote of all time...
-its ok to be a pussy today....3,2,1...GO!

JUST GO!

Shoulders weren't up to it today. Can't believe I've dropped over 10 reps on BP.

Felt like I was compensating for my right knee on squats. Right felt good but my left leg tightened up really fast. Most weight I have done since Feb. A lot harder doing the squats after pullups.

Less sleep from relentless studying for med school plus a couple of beers to help me relax did not result in a solid workout. Never again. Thinking about taking a cycle off to recover. Going solid for my first 8 weeks, and I haven't had a day where I wasn't sore somewhere.

Used 165 BW is 162

Did not do Back squat because of a right leg issue. So pretty much just did Lynne.

BP = 12-12-12-12-10
PU = 23-25-15-20-10

Total 151 - Slipped on the 15 and 10 during pull ups, got really hard to hold onto the bar!

Did the bench press then chalked hands and went strait to the pull ups. Used a stop watch to start the timer after pull ups. Only had a 5 minute rest in between each set. No rest (maybe about 15 seconds to chalk hands and walk to bar) in between bench and pull ups.

Fun workout!

I am assuming you are in England U.K. as opposed to University of Kentucky. Therefore, it will be hard to get local crossfit instructors.My best suggestion, unless you are willing to spend massive amounts of time and money, is that you watch a lot of videos and read a lot of articles. Crossfit.com has thousands of videos that demonstrate proper form, professionals doing the workouts, and professional explanations of movements. Start by watching videos and explanations of basic squats, push ups, and kip pull ups. Practice in a mirror if possible and do not incorporate into workouts unless until you feel confident with them. This could take up to a week. Then, try scaled versions of simple workouts such as Angie, Barbara, Chelsea, and Cindy. Next move into the power lifts, then o-lifts, then kettlebells, and finally gymnastics if possible with the same methodology. Bottom line= learn and practice as much as possible before starting high intensity or technical workouts.

Here is a link to the FAQs, Demos, and a great interview with Coach

Hey All! Do you do all 5 of bench, then all 5 of pulls, etc, or do you do one set of bench, then one set of pulls...etc...

thx and happy crossfitting! :)

Comment #289 - Posted by: ronzo at September 10, 2008 1:29 PM

I hate bench WODs because I hate wrestling to get a bench, and then when you need a bench and the one F'ing squat rack for the PU and Squat! I though about 6 different guys were gonna stab me for hogging the squat rack. The compromise is push ups. Ironically I did .75 BW which based on my reps for one set on the hammer machine bench is about the same a a regular push ups.

20 Push up
15 Pull up
5x165 squat

25 push up
18 pull up
6 squat

25 hammer strength machine bench 165
15 Pull up
5 squat

25 push ups
11 pull up
5 squat

25 push ups
10 pull up
5 squat

Lame! If I had real bumper plates and a nice platform I'd push it more but even in the rack I'm worried if I try and dump it I jack myself up. I'm doing CF Endurance 3 hours after my WOD, so whatever.

There's a better picture of Libby on the CF Olympics site, all the men standing behind her are watching here form...very closely. It's hilarious...I love my Wife.

Peace out!

47 / 173

no rest between BP-PU-BS (walk between and a couple of breaths)
5 minutes rest between each set

BS were much harder than I expected. It seemed that I couldn't catch a breath between reps and went to failure much sooner than I expected.

45/181

Short on time today, off to one of my kid's high school soccer games.

This is how I chose to do it:

Started the clock, did each movement at the top of 2 minutes. Bench press at 0 minutes, Pull ups at 2 minutes, Squats at 4 minutes until done at 28:55. The rests were shorter at the beginning as I got more reps in, longer at the end when fatigue was setting in. Here are the results:

Bench 14, 10, 6, 5, 6 for 41
Pulls 30, 22, 16, 12, 14 for 94
Squats 22, 16, 14, 12, 15 for 79

214 total reps, used 182 for both bench and squat.

Blair #256

Welcome to the guild! When I was in school I found that free time spent in the gym made for better performance in class, lab, library, and wards. Man, how cool is it to be in med school and have Crossfit.

Regarding rest (and of interest to BrandonE as well) Larry Lindenman is credited with the following schedule for those of us who are not in the fitness field and those of us who are not using CF as the GPP base upon which we build some specialized physical skill (ie. those of us who are just regular folks):

3 on/1 off schedule or whatever works
Weeks 1-3 Full intensity WOD
Week 4 1/2 intensity WOD
Weeks 5-7 Full intensity WOD
Week 8 1/2 intensity WOD
Weeks 9-11 Full intensity WOD
Week 12 OFF (no WOD). Rest.

Not a bad template. Allows full bore WOD's and full bore CNS training while minimizing burn-out. YMMV.

Welcome aboard, Blair. Fasten your seat belt.

Did not have the fortitute, time or food to continue with the squats for 5 rounds. This workout took my over 2 hours as is. Needed massive rest between sets to recover. Finished the Lynne portion with 379. Will push for over 400 next time with Lynne and then will switch to 200lb bench and pull-ups (+ 50 lbs) or chest to bar pull-ups.

Im at 205 so that was the weight for Bench and Back squats

1. 12 - 20 - 12
2. 12 - 20 - 12
3. 15 - 20 - 15
4. 15 - 20 - 15
5. 15 - 20 - 15

I had no spot so I think I could have churned out a bit better numbers, thats why the reps for bench and squats went up after two rounds. Rest periods were no longer than a few minutes, nothing that a regular gym guy wouldnt take between sets.

Comment #307 - Posted by: Rob F. at September 10, 2008 1:51 PM

Did Tabatta today at my crossfit gym, Push-press 2x 1 pood kettlebells, air squats, ring push-ups, ring pull-ups, ball slams w/ 10lbs ball, and ab-mat sit ups. I threw up half way threw the ball slams. Still dry heaving almost 2 hours later, God I love Crossfit!

Weird that I have trouble with squats & can do more body weight BP than SQ. Could have had something to do with the fact that SQ's were at the end of the cycle & I was running out of gas.

really sucked at this one. Although this is the first time doing Lynne (like) that I used 220# on bench so that I am happy with. But the squats UGGH i did not push to hard as I did not want to pull my grion again.

I don't know if it means anything that when I couldn't rack the bar bell on my last set of bench presses, the only person who came to help me was the only other guy doing crossfit in my university's rec center. He came running from the pull up bar across the gym. The people around me just kept chatting.

5 rounds of: 400 meter Run, 5 Clean & Jerks (with 40-50# sandbag), 10 Burpees, 15 Pull-ups and 20 Squats (complete the entire workout with a weight vest on!) - obviously - you could scale as necessary!

I usually sub out the WODs with benching in them because I don't have a spotter and I've never been particularly competent at benching. So I scaled the weight to 75% BW.

My 3RM squat as of late has been around 180# so I think I could have handled BW on the squats, but not the benches, and wanted to stay consistent rather than changing the weights every time. So 75% it is.

10-26-15
13-22-17
13-22-18
13-22-15
13-22-17

In retrospect I think I could have added 2 or so reps to each of the squats. Pull-ups were about maxed out (usually a grip issue), and benches I had to stop when things started getting too wobbly.

Totals: 62-114-82
Total: 258

Was VERY VERY generous with the rest, both in between exercises and in between rounds. Finished in around 45:00 or so. Just wasn't feeling too energized today.

Bench numbers were a little artificially high because of the lighter weight, but better safe than sorry.

Can anyone offer some advice on muscle ups?

I've been practicing for about two months and although I'm progressing, I just can't get the dip. I have the false grip and can roll into the deep dip position but just can't press upward.

I'm also experiencing quite a bit of shoulder pain and not sure if it's natural to go through that or not.

Should I keep trying every day, or wait a few days between each attempt??

Any help is much appreciated!!

#357 Jaeger

I just got the muscle-up about 1 week ago. So while the experience is still fresh in my mind, I can offer you what insight I have.

First of all, if you can get into the deep dip position, you are definitely strong enough to finish it. You're probably just letting the rings get too far away from your body which would put a huge strain on your shoulders.

I went from not even being close one day to being able to do 3 dead-hang MU's without touching the ground the next day. Like you, I was strong enough, but my form sucked. I needed to FEEL what it was like to get the muscle up. Here is the progression I worked through (in 1 night!).

Step 1:
I used an iron woody blue band and hooked it on my pull-up bar. I lowered the rings so that I could hold them with the false grip while sitting on the ground. Then I looped the band around my butt so I was sitting on the band with my butt on the floor with my legs extended straight in front of me. I got the idea from this video:
http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/CrossFitEvolution_EverymansGymnastics.mov
Just over half way into the video (and again toward the end), you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.

Step 2:
I raised the rings a bit and put my feet on a box so I got the same starting position but with less help from the band. I did a few of these until it felt comfortable.

Step 3:
I lowered the rings again and did NOT use the band for assistance. So I started from the seated position. When you don't have to lift the weight of your legs, the MU is doable for most people. I was able to do this, but did a few reps to really lock-in the feeling of doing a muscle up.

Step 4:
I raised the rings all the way up and attempted the MU with a kip. This took me 7 or 8 tries. I actually kipped too hard once, overshot the bottom of the dip and just about tore my left shoulder up really bad. So I warn you to be very careful when kipping into a muscle-up. A spotter would not be a bad idea. I doubt I'm the first person to experience this nearly awful injury...

Step 5 (next day):
Now that I really had the feeling of the MU dialed in, I tried 3 or 4 times at a dead-hang and was able to nail it!

Lastly, I would recommend not doing too many MU's when you finally get it. It's really exciting to finally have this skill mastered. But it is extremely hard on your wrists, shoulders, and elbows. So go easy and don't try to do too many reps or you'll feel it for days.

In the 9 months that I have been doing CrossFit I have had some pretty gnarly workouts, that left me in pretty tough shape (read: drooling on myself unable to walk). Never have I had one do to me what this one did today- and completely un-expected. This left me completely helpless in the fetal position on the ground for about 45 minutes afterwards. Here is the aftermath:

Last year I thought my Squat max was 300lbs. however, since crossfit my eyes have been opened to the idea of full range of motion, aka below parallel. ever since then i've squatted a lot less weight but hurt a whole lot more. thank you crossfit.

Legs were still dead from running and FGB. On the PUs my shoulder was feeling strange so I stopped early on the last three rounds. I've dislocated my shoulder twice and PUs seem to bother it when I get real tired. Does this happen to anyone else and does anyone have a solution (besides surgery)? Gracias

To start feeling batter. My back stills a little sore from my double workout on Monday. Well today I wait onto the evening to do my wod so that way I give more time to my back to rest and I think work but doing this way I ran out of time and that's why only did 3 round because I was running late to my daughter soccer practice.

Buttercup version (I figure that in case there are any other real buttercups out there they may be glad to know that someone else is just as weak as they are!)
38lbs bench 10-10-10-9-10
38lbs back squat 10-9-10-8-10
74 lb assist Pull-ups 10-8-8-8-8

I took it easy on the reps because my shoulder hurts (pull-ups seemed to aggrevate (sp?) it a little), my hamstrings are still sore & tight from last weeks WODs, and i have a wierd little pain in my hip flexor/adductor area (which oddly enough was NOT aggrevated by squats).

I was also quite distracted by the idiots at the YMCA doing bicep curls and tricep presses with way too much weight. Then there was the guy on the leg extension machine that in between sets would stretch his hamstrings by putting one let at a time on top of the machine above his head for at least a minute at a time.

No burpees today as the shoulder is still sore. Maybe i need a few days rest...we'll see what tomorrows wod brings.

Only have one rack and bench...so that was interesting. I ended up setting the bench rests up higher than normal...which left them lower than normal for the squat. I had to dial back on weight and reps because I was afraid of hurting myself.

Next time I'll just swap things around correctly instead of trying to find a work around. It was a bit sketchy...

I have absolutely no IDEA how I eeked out 4reps bench on that 4th round.

Boy did I make a big mistake when I asked the universe to help me get stronger. HUGE.

Are you folks really doing 30 and 40 pullups continuous, without stopping?? That is awesome. I watched Max's 2:19 Fran and his technique on the butterfly PU's was a thing of inspirations, no doubt
It's interesting to see the results of this WOD and the imbalances most of us have...one place or the other.

Kath, what's up with the .5 of a rep on the bench press? LOL! Can we do that this Saturday too? ;)

Plenty of rest between each set, minimum of 5 minutes. Anyone who thinks we aren't already getting enough met-con in Crossfit isn't paying very close attention. So many amazing times today, but dbarrick, Mike M, Mark & Theresa, and FBC were outstanding. AFT & Gillian are in a class way by themselves--outrageous!

my first posting..been waiting to do so since i started crossfit a month ago. Im a police officer in DC, and let me tell you what. No work out routine prepares officers for on the job encounters like crossfit. I feel more confident than ever. I have been doing your stereotypical bodybuilding workouts for nearly 4 years now, and i feel like I get a better workout with crossfit. I love it and Im hooked. I tell all my friends about it. anyways heres how i did today...

No doubt man, that's a hero. I think the WOD should begin and end with a 2.5 mile run with weighted vest. OR it could include sprints with a sled... what does everyone think?

Travis B.'s suggestion is great! Looks fun!

Comment #455 - Posted by: Joe H_23/72'/175# at September 10, 2008 6:07 PM

I'm a Tar Heel and I was wondering if there were any others on the site, and if so, where they do their WODs? I try to use the gyms on campus, but its hard because they don't have all the equipment (especially kettle balls, and you can't just through a med ball in our gyms).

If any other Tar Heels are on here, what would you think about talking to Campus Rec about starting up a CrossFit "sports club" to get a room to use and maybe get some equipment?

Could've gone further on bench but no spotter.
Pull ups felt kinda weak, but I still don't have that kipping thing down, so they were all dead hangers.
Squats sucked - my lower back and legs are still protesting from earlier in the week. If it didn't hurt (didn't feel like muscle hurt), I probably could've done quite a few more. Think I might give everything below the belt a few days off.

Rested 2, 3, 4, 5 minutes between sets. Surprisingly nauseous... didn't think this would knock the wind out of me. Wrong...

Bring it.

Wasn’t able to finish squats as I was in a globo-gym with one squat rack and not able to perform them in the round so I did them independent and someone was waiting for the rack. Man that sucked.

I'm a Tar Heel as well, but a number of years removed from campus life. There's a gym in the basement of Carmichael that used to be used for the Weight Lifting class that is like a dungeon and suitable for CrossFit. Over the past 5 or so years it may have been put out to pasture, but worth checking on.

Bench press as usual is my weakest link although it isn't a big contributer to the count on this WOD. Mentally, if I had someone I knew I had to beat, I could have squeezed off 10-15 more squats across all sets. I'm spent!

21-15-9 75# snatch, double-unders

Um... halfway through the first round of snatches decided to do 15-12-9 of the snatches. Halfway through the second round of snatches dropped the weight to 65# then finished out.

Pull Ups (kip) - 14-18-20-16-15
Squats - 20-15-15-20-15

Total: 255

Rested 5 mins between rounds, as little rest as possible between exercises, however I had to convert the bench press into a squat rack so this took some time, and meant pullung the 176# bar of readjusting and putting it back on before starting the squats.

The squats I had to get on my back from the bench press so I had to walk away do the squats and walk them back so I had to save a little in the tank to get them back on... Also set 1 of the bench press suffered from a little bit of an over spot on some of the reps by an over eager trainer at my globo that I asked for help, needless to say on my next 4 sets I just did it without a spot.

Last set of pulls knocked out 8 kips at the end of 7 chest to bars so sets of 20 should have been possible.

I have to say, I haven't wanted to puke more on a crossfit workout in over a year at least despite this "not being a metcon" workout. Anyone else have the same experience/know why?

Squat numbers were totally limited by a desire to puke rather than muscle fatigue.

I had the same feeling. I was very nautious after round one and thought i would puke but i improved after each round and felt ok by the end. My training buddy wasnt so lucky and puked after round 2.
Maybe its got something to do with the amount of blood in the upper body after doing max reps bench and pull ups having to be redirected to lower body for max rep squats.
The exact physiological reasons i dont know,but if anyone does please enlighten me.

Comment #568 - Posted by: gerard mcauliffe at September 11, 2008 12:12 AM

Ok, as TP said "this is a sneaky WOD".

Light WU with joint mobility plus some ab work and stretching.

5 sets of BP, PUs and BSquats for max reps.

Scaled to aprox 2/3rds BW on BPress and Squats (65kg or 143#). Apart from the first two PUs which were "performed" without any assitance but with less-than-perfect form/rythm, the remainder of the PUs workout was done with beginner PUs hanging from a bar set at chest height with my body mostly straight. Still a pain.

The WOD:

1.- 18/2+16/21
2.- 11/16/12
3.- 9/16/12
4.- 7/17/13
5.- 7/14/10

Some thoughts/questions:

I guess the high Squats in the first round were due to a slow rythm this meaning I did not do them at 1,2,3,4... path but more like 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004... Is the 1,2,3,4 the right way?

Had to scale. Can't do body weight BP and my back was still sore from Linda, so did not want to do full weight for BS.

This took longer than I thought it would, just managed to finish before the gym shut, did not get rest between sets as no time.

Good Fun

Loved this workout. It was hard - physically and mentally. My brain thought I was nuts, kept telling me to quit. It's one of those benchmark type workouts that I can't wait to see again so I can try to beat these numbers. Fun, but I'm gonna be sore tomorrow.

Rest between exercises: spotting each other on bench and squat, walking to the next station

Rest between rounds: 5 minutes for 1-4; 7 for 5

I've done several "hardest things I've ever done" workouts since startign CF three weeks ago Thursday, but this one really did a number on me. I felt like I might crap myself after round 3, pass out after round 4, and then after round 5, I got so dizzy that I laid down on the ground to gather myself, only I wasn't able to get up for about 40 minutes without going right back down. Luckily one of the other members of the Globo Gym is a fireman and gave me some tips to help the blood flow back to my head. I was pissed, embarassed, etc. I feel fine now (the next morning), but I'm probably going to take it easy today.

My hat's off to everyone who did this without getting completely hammered by it.

Wow! This was fun...if fun is measured on a pukiness scale. I felt great through the first 3 sets, then had to rest for 10-15 min. before set 4 to keep the hurl down. Otherwise, as Rx'd, very little rest between exercises; 5 min. rest between sets.

Wow that took a long time! Rested a few minutes between each set. I had to scale the bench presses; didn't want to. But on my first set, managed 2 bench presses at bodyweight (165) and then got embarrassingly stuck under the bar. After that, decreased bar to 135lbs (82% bodyweight).

Used full bodyweight for the squats though.

as prescribed

12 bench presses, 28 pullups, 5 squats, then I hurt my back. badly. I couldn't even remove the weights from the bar to return them to their proper place, I had to ask for help. I struggled to put my pants back on, because lifting my left leg made the pain a lot worse. I immediately called my doctor, he had me come in, checked me out (doesn't look like any spinal or nerve damage, seems more skeletomusclar), and gave me Vicodin, Prednisone, Naproxen, and Cyclobenzaprine. I am sad, I don't like missing workouts. But ever since I hurt my back about 7-8 months ago, my back hasn't been the same. My PR on d-lifts is 480; since I hurt my back the first time, i get to 315, and I can feel my back wanting to give, so I always back off. I have an MRI scheduled, so hopefully they can pinpoint the problem. In the meantime, I have to take it easy, so I will either scale down to buttercup levels, or just do some active recovery stuff (I don't see myself just not doing anything, I've worked hard to get this far). Anyway, crappy day in the gym, injuries always suck...

Squat: 14, 14, 12, 8, 9 = 57
Limiting factor on pull ups was grip. Sweaty hands never seem to hold onto the bar well.
Dead tired by the time squats came around. I was hoping for more than that.

Squats:7,6,5,5,5..

I'm disappointed with my bench and squats. Back is still very sore and I kept banging the bar on the rack doing bench press.. Finished workout in 20. Did 1 more set of 50%bodyweight of 15 reps for squat and bench along with assisted pull ups.
Thought I was going to have more intensity for this workout.. I was totally drained. Also did 20 min of elliptical at level 20 to try to compensate..

Me: 42yo/M/5'10"/171lbs/10%BF

Warm Up: Greg's circulars

WOD:

Body Weight Bench Press: 4,5,6,7,8 total 30 reps

I had just about 4 pounds under my body weight at 167lbs. Bench Press is always weak for me but I have never been able to bench my body weight until crossfit and I have never done more than three in a row until today!

Pull Ups: 15,16,17,18,22 total 88 reps

Another big achievement for me today, I have never done 22 pull ups in a row especially when I did it on the last set! All sets with grip facing away, kipping.

Body Weight Back Squat: 10,11,12,13,14 total 60

Once again, I had an "ah ha" moment on my back squat which I have been working on with Nick and Lysa over the past month or so. On the third set on about the 8th rep I was focusing on engaging my hamstrings in order to bring my @ss up first like I was pushing up against a hand over the top of my lower back/butt and I really felt my hamstrings engaging. Until now my back squat had been primarily a quadriceps exercise for me. Most excellent :>)

Cool Down: Joshie 7 rounds + 2 Muscle Ups, 4 HSPU and 1 Kettle bell swing

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Did this one with as little rest as possible between exercises, but with as much rest as needed b/w rounds (about 6-7 minutes). Pretty much Brendan's method from the Lynne vid. The back squats make that a lot harder, came very close to losing lunch on round 4.

Just got back from out of town trip for past week - doing my best from the hotel room. Don't know if anyone's posted good hotel room WOD's - here's what I used...

WOD#1: "Angie"-esque: 50-40-30-20-10
Hotel Chair Jumps (~15")
Sit ups (using rolled up towel)

WOD#2: 5 rounds for time
10 HSPU's

5 pullups
10 push ups

bench to near failure; having no spotter may have cost me a couple reps, but I did about as well as I could

pull-ups I basically did until I lost my groove kipping. I'm trying to improve my kipping so I'm holding myself to one continuous motion per set. if i was willing to restart I guess I could have done more...

squats I just limited to 20 to keep from busting a vein

with full recovery between sets, this workout took forever

Comment #704 - Posted by: JUS at September 15, 2008 6:30 AM

Round 3: 12, 10, 5

could have added +2 to the bench for each round other than the last but I didn't have a spotter. Should be able to do more on squat but i did a 3X5 2 days ago and it was going really slow. Need to work on my grip for pull ups.

breakfast: run 45 minutes = 6 miles

work work
chill out for a bit

back to the gym @ nite for

400m warm-up run, cfwu, warm-up bench press 115#x5, warm-up back squat 135#x7

WOD:
5 rounds for max reps of;
130# bench press/kipping pull-ups/130# back squat
rest taken between all exercises and rounds.
total workout time wuz about an hour.

1) 8/32/25
2) 7/30/21
3) 7/30/22
4) 7/30/21
5) 6/20/25

again with the bodyweight bench press i wuz nervous without a spotter. Rip's words from "Starting Strength" in my head helped to fight off the worry. all reps were full ROM, didn't count the couple of squats that weren't deep enuf.

remembered something i read on the comments page a few days ago that helped when the sets started gettin real tough; Gillian mentioned a gem of wisdom from a discussion with Kallista Pappas; "Every rep stands alone, do every one like it's your last."

got really lightheaded and dizzy after bench and squat sets. looking back i think i should've tried to get the squat numbers to match the pull-up numbers, at least in the first 2 rounds. i did wut i thought i could do, but i know that i can do more. shoulda stuck with it longer. all in all this workout wuz a great mental test. it'll be interesting to try for more if it ever shows up again.

bw = 162

subbed pushups for bench press due to rt. bicep tendonitis.

pushups: 40, 40, 35, 35, 35 = 185
pullups: 17, 18, 11, 13, 13 = 72
squats: 13, 12, 12, 12, 13 = 62

pullups are down relative to when I do Lynne, I guessing because when I bench, I usually get 10-15 reps, versus 35-40 pushups
