Tune in Sunday morning at 08:00 Pacific for CrossFit Radio online with host Neil Anderson.
Posted by lauren at October 5, 2008 7:00 PM
This is going to hurt!!!!
Ouch... this is going to be beautiful.
I didn't get a chance to do this one last time it turned up. From the comments I remembered this one sneaks up on you!
Finally it's here. I missed this last time. WOOT!
I remember this from last time one of the best coach
cool...i did awful on this last time. can't wait.
Oh come on, Barbara just beat the F out of all of us. Still, it looks better then that Trainer WOD.
AWW I JUST DID BARBARA!! But then again I don't think Barbara's gonna make me sore the next day... but then it's not the next day yet so I wouldn't know....
couldn't even finish this last time this one is brutal. I'm in much better shape now thought so bring it on!
Couldn't manage the fifth round of this last time, but loved it anyway. This time for sure!
I hated this last time. I'm sure I'll hate it again.
Man that's one of the best videos I've seen in ages; what the heck is Barber doing? It looks like he's trying to put in a contact lens from the floor with no hands. And someone seriously get Boz some shoes; doubles with no shoes is loco.
Freddy, keep the hands lower on the doubles!
Looks like another 1/2 hour death session
Thanks Coach.3-2-1 GO!
ouch this looks painful. Should be a blast!
This one is fantastic
Barbara kicks my butt, body weight much higher than the 135 for this WOD
Hands hurt and I am fried so maybe 3 rounds then cross fit endurance swim but I will do this at 155
SH*T, this WOD almost killed me last time.
Congratulations to Kate and Colin on a beautiful wedding this evening!
Thank You both for being such wonderful people, and hope to see you both at a Saturday WOD soon.
Dang it, I wish I wasn't taking this cycle off due to a horrid cold... I really like this WOD (though not enough to get past this stupid cold).
It's all five rounds straight through correct?
Were those double-unders Freddy C was doing ? Looked like he was trying to clear a fence.
Dutch is a beast.
This WOD is fun - let's get some.
321Go
Its good to see that Freddie's Double unders look like mine, very nice. I have been told that I jump high enough on my double unders to get up onto a 20" box. I look like I just got off the short bus and its recess when I do double unders.
Joline, super solid stuff, your double unders looked fantastic.
The rest of the guys in the video all come from a heavy gravity planet, I can't even understand that level of performance, 8 minutes and something, phenomenal...
Have Fun, Train Hard,
Billy
Scaled to 27kg.
Last time: 4 rounds in 22'08"
This time: 5 rounds in 19'04"
F/32/64kg
two days ago, what was expected for us to do,
squat cleans or regular cleans? I did squat cleans. finished up the 6th min. with 6. no time left to rest for the 7th min.
Gotta send love to my peeps Freddy, Jolie, and Austin! Miss y'all!

Creepy. I just did this one yesterday for fun. I guess I can make up Barbara now.
Maybe I reminded Coach of what a bitch of a WOD this is and he decided everyone should join in on the fun?
This one looks good... time to feed the machine.
For record keeping sake my time was 17.43 (PR by 1.12). Barbara will be posted to yesterday's comments.

Literaly just finished the Level 1 Crossfit cert in Sydney Australia. Just wanted to thank Coach and the crew for coming down here. Was awesome having you and really sad to see you go.

Great video, Pat looks like he has really leaned out. Would love to see this WOD prescribed for us this week coach!
J-R0
oh shizle.... That's the first thing I said when I saw the WOD. Bring it!!!
After doing painstorm yesterday this should be quite nice. I misread this last time and did it with full power cleans, time to hit it as rx'd ;-)
Question
Is pacific time 7 hours ahead of GMT, meaning I can listen to CF radio live at 2pm back here in the UK or is it the other way round and i've missed it?
Leon - www.timeanddate.com my friend - 2pm this arvo fella

Nice workout!
Weak fronsquat. Strong Push.
I'm excited 'bout this one! Curious if this'll actually be worse than Barbara yesterday or not.
Dead Lifts, easy. Cleans, alright. Front squats, I hate. The push jerk is whats gonna test me.
ooof.. and i was hoping a .. one round something today. lol.
DL @ 95lbs, HPC,FS,PJ@75lbs
Time: 19:15 - almost 5 minutes faster than last time! but i was recuperating from a flu, apparently. But reading the notes from last time, and comparing how I felt today- as far as the workout goes..... it's just the workout that reeaaallly sucks!!!
I'm hoping for a suprise rest day tomorow :)

40 Minutes total,
I am just glad I was able to finish with the prescribed weight. The Hang Cleans were my weakness.
Love this WOD and can't wait to do it again and see my improvements.

We didn't stand a chance at 135. We scaled down to 95#. Still almost killed me.
Jerickson - m/5'5"/174/22

Special K - m/6'1"/194/26
18:37
26:47 with 60kg, too much rest time...
Last time I did this in 20:48 but I had a rack so in between the HPC, FS, and the Jerk's I could rack it. Today I did this with no rack so I had to pull from the ground every time I needed a rest. I wouldn't say it was a completely different WOD but it was definately tougher than last time. Felt really strong on my FS.

@Lars: Coming from Europe? Where?
Hungover. used 50kg, 4 rounds, 22.20!
Every now and then a workout comes along and reminds you that you are, in fact, a pussy. This is one such workout!
So i waited to do Barbara today and accidently remembered it as 3 rounds instead of 5... internet wasn't working. I finished that in like 31 minutes.
I'll have to get this one later, no way to be able to that much for time in these gyms.
Or wait.. was that too much chit chat? Wouldn't want to anger anyone who find reading a little too hard for them.

Ouch.
Jackpot!!! Gotta love a video with Jolie in it...she is smoken' hot...and pretty much my hero...Good luck with this one ya'll...my feet are cramping already...PEACE, B
Erin you crack me up!
Too much chat..."f" you people who were whining about too much chat yesterday. I already spoke my peace on that and hopefully the message got across that there is nothing that can be done about the chat, and infact some of us enjoy the chat. If you don't like the chat, you can skip over it and just read what you want to or you can pound sand, and go to a non chat message board (how silly is this...wow!)
Fact of the matter is I am just chatting now to stir the pot in you whineholes hoping you will throw some enormous tantrum and look up lots of big words in the dictionary and put them in sentences that they don't belong in so everyone one will say "ooooooooo....watch out for this verbal lancalot" and get us all thinking you are quite the tailhole of the day.
With that said, guys that was a great video! Pat you look tight brother! Keep zoning! Freddy you rock, kick the smokes though (haha, sorry brother). Dutch, what can I say...I am speakless. Adrian, Jolie and the rest of you...you all rock! Great vid, great workout.
AllisonNYC, Brendan, tatoo nicky, some guys from Blauer are all going to workout with us today! THEY are coming to US, so it is our WOD that will be posted! Can't wait!
More to come!
Please watch this!

135 pound Deadlift, 15 reps
95 pound Hang power clean, 12 reps
95 pound Front Squat, 9 reps
135 pound Push Jerk, 6 reps
I will be ready the next time!
I think they picked the wrong rep to photograph the jumper-babe.
Up until recently I was a member of a crossfit gym. On their WOD they had 2 weights posted for men and women. Now that I get the emails there isn't 2 different weights posted. What weights should us non-olympic, non-superfit, just a tad above average females do? Do we try to do 75% of weight or 50%?
30/M/190
Hell of a workout.
Used 125# instead of 135.
Time was 23:29
Improvement over last time - 24:24
and last time I used 115.
Next time I'll use 135
Good morning all,
Well, today is my rest day from the crissfitbrisbane site. This is a much needed rest. Can't wait to pick it back up on Monday and challenge myself once again. Three more weeks using this site and then back to main page WOD's.
Semper Fidelis and God Bless

Wow. I had to scale to 95# on all but the dead lifts. I even scaled the front squat and push jerk down to 75# on the third set.
Speaking of third set, that is all I went to! Damn. Tore me up. I guess you need workouts like this so you have some improvement to shoot for.
This workout sucked
had to scale to 115# after first round
need to get my strength up
24:43
27M 6'5" 230#
26:53 using 85# and I had a rack this time.

Lungs just couldn't pump enough air!~ What a workout!
That video from Robb Wolfe about zone fat blocks on Friday came at just the right time for me. I was experiencing all the symptoms he was describing: recovery not so good, not feeling so energetic, shoulder joints aching during workouts... I have doubled my fat blocks for my 3 main meals, and today my shoulders weren't a problem in the push presses!
This community is just amazing with the wealth of good, relevant information it provides!

Holy crap, that sucked! I looked at that workout on paper and was thinking 5-7 min. Somehow, I thought I was only going to take my hands off the bar to let it fall to the ground between rounds. Wow, I should have looked at some of the times from the last time it was posted before I did it. I got a little dissafected when I realized I wasn't going to hit my goal. I probably could have hit a better time if my goal was more realistic.

21:18 w/95#
(last time 29:24!)
This is my 5th day in a row and I didn't even think my body could still get this sore!
Horrible.
I did the first round at 135. Scaled round 2 and 3 to 115. And ended up not finishing due to having to get to work.
Very humbled, again.

I was very pleased with my form on all exercises. I guess the practice on form has been paying off!
only did 3 rounds and 2 of them were at 135 but the last one was 95. The Push n Jerk messed up my left knee so i had to scale down and finish it up. I pulled something on my left knee does any1 know the best solution to recover?
Wow..that was rough.
Started at 115, but near the end of 1st round had to switch to 95#. No bumpers and very limited room in the gym, so i had to be careful when i lifted and couldnt safely do the whole set at 115.
25:23
Wife did it at 55# and finished 4 rounds and 6 cleans before her wrists couldnt take it anymore
33:28
Wish I had a rack to pick the bar off of for front squats. ><;;
Time: 19:20! Oohrah!
Did everything at 135# for the first round, then rx'd as follows. Probably coulda went with 145 for Push Jerk.
135 Dead Life
135 Hang Cleans
115 Front Squat
115 Push Jerk
Opted for Video WOD, didn't do DU last time due to injury
11:07, ring dips were tough today
"Barbara", details there.
Couple of thoughts:
--I think it's the trashing of the core in round one that makes us all so much more likely to meet Pukie on this one. My kips required so much more effort after round one I was nauseous on both the PU and the squats.
--There's such a fine line between eating to be lean enough and eating enough to have adequate fuel. I felt the need to lean out a little recently and went down to 1.5xfat. I did, indeed, lean out again but I'm not performing as well on body weight met-cons or longish met-cons in general. Tough call...
I just did this one recently:
using 85#, time = 28:55
Friday could not post but did the clean and jerk 1 first min, 2 second, etc etc.
Got 5 rounds using 90#. Not impressive and did not really go at 100%.
Sat - rest
Today- 8 intervals of 3 min hard/ 3 min easy
Erin
Nadia- thanks for the Birthday wishes the other day!! LOL, yes, I survived the big 3-0.

I am constantly impressed with people like you who continue to grind out workouts like this and have such a great attitude. It's always impressive to see someone not quit, scaled or as rx'd it's still crossfit and your kicking butt. Keep up the solid work Keith!

Last time had to sub 115# for HPCs and PJs with time of 33:45. This time as RX'd at 27:11. Nice to see an improvement in this brutal WOD.
Also nice to see a predictably abusive and demeaning post from JroCk when someone doesn't share his opinion on something (the chat debate from yesterday). And I think you meant "verbal Lancelot". I didn't even have to look in the dictionary for that one.

Tried 135# for the first round but had to stop after the DL and 5 of the HPC. That weight wasn't going to happen so bumped it down to 95# and still almost died. Great WOD and looking forward to this one again. I completely soaked through my shirt which always attracts strange looks at the globo.
As a newbie, is it better to try and do the full weight listed in the WOD and do fewer reps, or will I build my ability faster by doing less wieght but the right number of reps/rounds?
I'm really excited about being able to do a full WOD in the future, my current goal to just be able to do full WOD at the prescribed load and reps every day. Thanks for the great program, glad to have found it.

115 DL, 95 for the rest

Hat's off to those of you who can do the perscribed wt. Did my first triathlon several weeks ago and during the swim I had a thought of bailing and pushed thru (thanks to crossfit training). I had the same thought during this WOD, and againg pushed thru, can't quit.

Brutal workout. I've always been in shape, been able to lift heavy weight and do good at power exercises (clean, squat ect) but I now know I'm not in top crossfit shape. It's so cool to see how simpl chaining exercises together can make my body feel like it's about to fall apart. Nightmarishly wonderful.
First time with this one...did it with 95lbs.
15:30
Tough, but probably doable with 135, try it next time...
Love, Me.
#154 Erik
The key is form and rx'd reps first, rx'd weights second.
So, do the required reps and scale the weights down to start. Before you know it, you'll be completing the wod's as rx'd.
WOD . . . too . . . hard. Can't . . . breathe . . . or type . . . at a . . . normal rate.
I really shouldn't even be tired. Could NOT get motivated. Started anyway. Took long breaks. A very unenergetic, heartless and unmotivated workout for me. I don't know what's wrong with me lately.

28/m/195
Inspired by the tandem 100 MUs video last week, my man Mike and I took on the largest tire we could find and tandem flipped that b*^!h for .25 miles. Took 24:45, and left us with bloody fingers.
Hit up one round of the WOD, as rx'd, in 3:12.
I look like such an idiot doing double unders. Even Buddy Lee couldn't fix me up. (He kinda just pushed me off to the back of the class) I think we filmed that video the week or two before the Crossfit Games so Pat & Dutch were really dialed in.
If you think I looked like a doofus in that video, maybe you'll get the chance to see the one we did at the last Cert. I really got spanked in that one and it had no double unders in it at all.
BTW- I posted yesterday that I was fighting off Pukie for five minutes after my bout with Barbara. I didn't fight hard enough. I drove to work and threw up in the locker room bathroom. Almost got my beat partner throwing up too since his locker is within earshot of the toilets.
I hate double unders and puking.
17:55 as rx'd, goal was around 15 minutes so tough luck there but I now know my strategy could have been better.
All DL and PJ straight through and I found out, too late mind you, that I really needed to do all FS straight through and just break up the HPC accordingly (6,4,2). Too many long breaks did me in but I was sucking wind hard. I didn't use a rack as well so any breaks I took required me to take the bar off the floor to re-start. Done at 7:30am on an empty stomach before work, possibly not a good WOD for those parameters.
Nice work to anyone in the 15 minute or under category, this WOD is tough.

LMFAO! We are a full year beyond any arguments my brother, and it was an absolute pleasure to train beside you and Handsome Jack...and of course it is always a pleasure to train beside Jeannie! SHE IS SUR REAL! Super human! 95# scale down, but her body weight is only 112lbs. WTF! Incredible! And you and Jack are amazing creatures yourselves! Thank you for your service to our country, defending our freedom and being great crossfitters and men! An example of what the rest of our race should strive for!

Hang Power Cleans killed me, I though I was better at them then this, I only did maybe 6 and I was tapped out, so I did full power cleans, it was the only way I could get the weight up and I didn't want to scale the weight.
Question: Is it acceptable to do front squats with the arms folded technique? You know like Count Dracula or a Cossack Dancer. It puts less strain on my wrists and I feel like I can focus on the squat more.
I have a feeling true CF Technical purists would say no because your not training your arms and wrists for the squat clean.
Thoughts? Opinions?

That wasn't pack that was porch! No wonder I sucked at it! I would have done much better at 95, especially on the power cleans. I boned this whole workout up! Maybe it was the 150 GHD sit ups from yesterday.

I suggest we name this one "Pain full". Had to sub weight for hang power cleans and push jerk to 95 Lb. and front squat to 115 due to nagging tennis elbow and fore arm issues. Deads as Rx, had three bars and had to switch between all told it took 35:46.

I totally agree with comment #228 that was "hell on earth" I was tempted to quit after the second round. 11:59! ...what the hell I would like to see that...awesome.
Almost forgot - love these kinds of WODs as they allow repetition and work on details of the movement. On DL, used this one work on the 'no legs' lift - legs bent but not moving, all glute/back work. Used the PCs to work on posture - how to do 2nd pull in such a way that heels slide back w the lift. FS - focus on moving hips back/down allowed my deepest FSs to date, and no knee pain; that back/down focus is key. PJ - just blasted them out for fun/speed. Paul

Is it OK to do the front squats with arms folded instead of in the catch position of the clean?
Nope,
Not because I am a crossfit purest, brotha man, but because it's just not safe. A slight forward dip with your arms folded and the bar is going to leave and the arms will be in a very poor position to do anything about it, then the bar will crash down on the next object in its path, probably the knees.... "its not a quote from Coach Rip, but its close.
Front squats should be used as practice for the proper catch position. If your wrists hurt, try playing with where your elbows are, try and point them at an object that is at your shoulder level across the room. Your fingers should just be there to babysit the bar.
Speaking of babysitting, I will have to do this WOD tomorrow in the morning and make up tommorow's WOD in the evening :>) My lady Lysa is skydiving and crossfitting in Southern Cali this weekend and I have the kids at home :>)
Have Fun, Train hard,

I agree that properly racking the bar helps a lot in the front squat. I am finally starting to get it and they are becoming easier for sure.
Also, try using a tensor wrap around your wrists. I had a lot of pain and I found these wraps kicking around. I decided to try them and they have been wonderful. I only use them in extreme cases, like todays WOD!!

Ok, now that I re-read the WOD I realize I got it wrong. I missed yesterday due to helping my son move into his new house and somewhere I got mixed signals. ha ha ha I gave myself 3 minutes between rounds today and I started with 12 not 6. Oh well I still felt it.

Well... I missed Barbara yesterday so I decided in my infinite wisdom to do that this morning then attempted this WOD this afternoon to catch up... Proved a little too much for me as I am only just getting back into it after a couple of weeks off with a back injury...
Did 2 rounds as rx'd in 20:47 then called it a day because I had killed myself.

(heavy for me as i only weigh 150 myself!!)
I had to scale the weight down to go for time. I scaled it to 100lbs. I could do the Deadlifts comfortably and the Front Squats ok enough, but for some reason I had to rest practically 30 seconds between each hang-clean rep to manage it. I figured it would be best to just scale down and go as quick as I could as the WOD called for.
Now I have a goal to work towards!

They gave out on me before I even finished the first round and I damn near dropped the bar several times during the hang power cleans. That was my only limiting factor, my forearms. I think I could go heavier if it weren't for that. Next time I will rethink my warm-up routine.
Began with CFWUx3 10 reps each (1 10-second Samson stretch per leg each round) with assisted pull-ups (40#) and assisted dips (50#), plus Bergener warm-up.

Injured wrist on 6 or 7th rep of 4th round. I knew it was bad enough that I'd have to call it a day, but I still wanted to finish up the round, so I proceeded with due caution and wrapped it up.
I was looking forward to this one until the end of the first round. At that point I started cussing myself and just hoping for survival.

Last was 20080730. Used more weight but took much longer (35 min).
Trying to compare work and power outputs.
I used a arm of 1.5 ft for the DL and HPC and an arm of 2 ft for the FS and PP (yes those are very rough numbers).
Last time did ~29,500 ft-lbs
This time did ~25,600 ft-lbs
Power output in ft-lbs/min were 843 and 1273 respectively. So less work but more power this time. Could of done more work today but I am limited on plates (garage gym) versus the set I used in globo gym the first time.

That's 5 min and 27 seconds better than last time!
That's after a 17 hour plane ride (not total trip time), and a change in elevation from near sea level (bucca) to several thousand feet (McGregor range). I probably should have rested but I never have had much sense, and when I saw the workout, I just had to know what my time was going to be. I was shooting for 25 minutes, but my rest periods were too long.

Holy hell this crossfit stuff owns me. I've been at it for about 3 weeks now and every workout kills me like it's day 1. Can't wait to see what improvement will be like...
Me: 42yo/M/5'10"/170lbs/10%BF
Warm Up: Some stretches and one round of the WOD @ 95lbs nice and slow.
WOD: 135lbs of fun 37:35
Round 1: 6:40
Round 2: 8:49
Round 3: 10:29
Round 4: 11:36
Round 5: 10:18
Total: 37:35
Cool Down: 5 Bar Muscle Ups
135lb Dead lifts: This was a total break, focused on form and doing it as quick as possible. By the 4th set these weren't funny anymore. I believe that I did these each time in under a minute.
135lb Hang Power Cleans: Total smoker, I had to take these from the ground instead of from the hang position. No way I could do 60 of these babies from the hang. Better than last time though. Broke these up into sets of 6 and 6 each time.
135lb Front Squats: Tough one after the power cleans. I broke these into sets of 6 and 3.
135lb Push Jerk: Fairly easy, I did these in unbroken sets. I used a crappy rack position though elbows almost straight down. I look forward to the cert in December at Pendleton to figure out why I can get way more power with my elbows down for the jerk than with them out in front.
A muscle guy came by when I was in the middle of this WOD and gave me the thumbs up and told me that I was consistantly the hardest working guy in the gym. I gave him a card to Olympic Crossfit. :>)

Cleans were hard, but I found the front squats to be the worst. Balance was the tough part - I was afraid I'd flop over. First 3 sets had good form, last two found me squatting higher and higher.
Could have done the deadlifts all day.
Push jerks weren't bad either.

This was a nightmare. Just managed to finish before the gym shut. Took a lot longer than I thought it would. Found the Push Jerk really hard, kept having to do singles.
Managed to get bruises on my collar bone and take the skin from my thumb on the HPC.

First set was all unbroken, then had to do 6-6 with the hang cleans, 5-4 for squats, and 3-3 for jerks. The jerks were a lot easier just going straight through, so they were unbroken after the 2nd set. Would have been much better with chalk - sweaty hands made this go slower.
This was rough - very shaky afterwards. Just starting to feel it today.. trying to get a bunch done at work here before I am totally incapacitated!
Also I witnessed a guy deadlifting 435# 5X! I was very impressed, and told him so. He went on to compliment me on my workout, saying it was awesome to see someone doing such useful lifts at the gym :)

In general, I rested 3 minutes between rounds a la Barbara. A couple rest periods stretched longer, so the average time for a round ended up being ~9 minutes.
Certainly no where close to these guys posting 15 or 20 minutes. Holy cow...

Nothing like 60 HPC's to force you to focus on fundamentals like the hook grip (so you don't drop the bar) and opening your hips (because using your arms just doesn't work after 40 reps). First round was 3:30 or so, after that, it was about 8-9 minutes a round with a minute or so between rounds.
correction: 2-5 rounds took about 7 minutes each

Before I started this workout, I had this vision of moving seamlessly from one exercise to another, without dropping the bar in between. After all, the lifts dovetail into one another nicely. That illusion was shattered pretty much immediately.

Was OK with everything except HPCs, I could barely make it through the first 12, the 2nd set was the longest part of the workout and from halfway through the 3rd set onward I had to go from the ground, which I had no problem with. So I probably increased my output, but I really have to work on the form from the hang position, my forearms are like wood today.

I was helping a friend today who had never worked out before (health issues). We used 65lbs, with him doing two rounds and I doing three. I'm surprised how much form he was able to get with the cleans.
4 rounds
Changed the #'s between 95# and 135# and various sets.
CFWU
34:43 - new PR (old was 40:20)
2 rds
135 d lift

This is my first post. I have been doing Crossfit for a couple months and have lost 10 pounds so far. Great workout!!
24:54
Improved over last time:
CFWU X 3, then
5 rnds:
115# DL x 15
115# HPC x 12
115# FS x 9
115# PJ x 6
28:25
Last time -- had to drop to 95# for rounds 2-5, and finished in 24:15
Definitely felt much stronger this time. Will try to up the weight a bit next time it comes around. As Coach says: "incrementalism"
CFWU x 3
Scaled WOD to 85lb
DL: 15
HPC: 12
FS: 9
PJ: 6
5 rounds 19:08
That's exactly 5:00 slower, but 20lb heavier than last time. Shins and hands bleeding :-)
Still weak from lack of sleep and too much work.

I'm a few days behind. Took some time to get ready for a PT test. It was my best ever by the way, thanks CrossFit.
scaled 95lbs, the HPCs kill me.
NR: 27:30
PR: 30:00
Hoping for at least 115lbs next time around.
First Crossfit back in a while.
Limited it to 3 rounds, 13:17
Very scaled. 65lbs, 20:46. My forearms were shot going in due to my ride yesterday that ended up being way longer than I expected and Barbara's pull ups. Was hoping to do 85lb but couldn't hold the bar so I was just stripping away weight until I could get it where I could hold the bar. Didn't stop my watch when I was stripping away the weight.
Five rounds for time of:
135 pound Deadlift, 15 reps
135 pound Hang power clean, 12 reps
135 pound Front Squat, 9 reps
135 pound Push Jerk, 6 reps
I used 115lbs for first set, 95lbs last 3.
Started 6PM, finished at 6:29…plenty of rests in between.
Grip is weak.
115#, did four rounds
24.12; lot of improvement needed, heavier, five rounds and need to be faster
Warm-up:
- 7 min. of warmup program on bike

That workout was awesome but needs a name after a medal of honor winner.
First two rounds were very tough then got loose on the 3rd. Feel great despite a bit of a cold which I think I just pounded out of my system.

Did this on 10/16/08 in a public Gym and the looks on everyones face was priceless which leads me to take on two different faces. At the regular gym I am the spectacle and on San Clemente Island (Navy Gym) I am just Joe Hamm. I had great form and when muscle bound freaks stop their work out to watch yours, thats pricelss baby. Thanks Crossfit for the strength, endurancer and confidence.

As rxd. My clean form sucks I just use strength for the most part, and the DL prior to the HPC blew that right out of the water. 135# DLs I can do all day long and not have issues, but when I needed those lower back muscles for the HPC 100% different story.
1. 242 "this cant be so bad"
2. 1015 (yes it took about 8 minutes)
3. 1721 A little better at ~7minutes
4. 2426 I'm frigg'n tired
5. 3055 ITS OVER! I have no clue how I got those cleans done but they got taken care of.
I just kept a running clock so the elapsed time includes rests and a few broken sets.
22:16.
First round was 72 lb, 2-5 were 52 lb. Should have set up a lighter bar for the front squats, and used the heavier one for the rest.
this was kind of weak...
rd 1 95# - forgot to do the front squats
rd 2 - 5 droppped down to 65# and did 12 front squats each set to make up for the missed first set.
time 14:48
I could have done 75# for the whole thing, next time will be 80#...

STarted with 95 lbs for 1st round. Had to scale to 75 for the rest or I would have been at it all day.
19:28. Didn't stop the clock when changing plates. You guys doing 20, 15 min as RX are baddass.

WOD: @115 (all full sets but clean@6x2) = ~29:30
Could only manage three rounds, completed in 23:02.
Had to scale the Hanging Power Cleans to 95 lbs.
Next time might want to scale everything down to 115 lbs. or so and ensure good form.
damn
first leg work out coming off a strained quad that had me out for a couple weeks. Bad decision to do this first thing back.
managed 3 1/2 rounds in 20 minutes before everything stopped working.

6 minutes off PR?, maybe I only did 4 sets last time, maybe I did 6 sets this time. This is a tough one, dizzy at several points along the way. OH-SQ felt quite tough, probably need to work on these a little more.
44/m/165
uh oh, dufus did not read. did OH-SQ instead of front Squats, that may have helped. Oh well.
