Great i'll take Cindy and see if I can break my usual 17 rounds. 3..2..1..GO!
Ummm... my shoulders are still feeling the "50". I guess I'll be hanging with Cindy tomorrow. Thanks!
love Cindy, 30 is the goal
I believe the compare-to date should actually be Friday 081017.
Thinkin about tackling Mary for the first time, but my pistols suck.
Are they shorts?
Are they panties?
I shall call them "shanties".
Ask and you shall receive. I'm going to make Cindy my B!tch.
Push-ups don't scare me no mo'!
Beautiful shots today. Shana is rad and she takes a nice picture.
oh dirty girls. I'm going to take Mary. She is a beating. CFE in the morning in north Carolina, then CF in SD tomorrow night totally stoked.
been working on pistols + HSPUs a lot lately
going after Mary!
This has nothing to do with the WOD, but I would love to know why the new shirts display the word "infidel" on them. Does Crossfit stand behind a non-belief system when it comes to religion? Or am I completely off the mark? Forgive me if I am. Hope everyone has a great Christmas!
never did a cindy... never did a mary... eeny, meeny, miny, moe
cindy for me. been a long time. 25 rounds to beat
WooHoo! Xmas came early this year.
Santa must assume I've been naughty and need more work on my double unders. He just brought me an Aero Speed jump-rope from Buddy Lee.
Watch out "Annie", my times are coming down.
Cindy it is! Great pictures there, Shana.
"Cindy" w/ 20lb. vest

You are correct. Crossfit promotes the intolerance for any organized religion, with the exception of wiccan, taoism, and some minor pagan belief systems of sub-saharan Africa.
Or you could read all the comments for that day.
Hmmmm...Just started a push-up challange yesterday (100 for 50 days)
But I have never done either, so....choices
I think...Cindy will be my woman of choice
I think I can rock out a round per minute. we shall see...
here we GO!
ok then Cindy is in the morning and mary at night , they both look great
Awesome pics, Shana! Your strength is beautiful.
I just did my first CF work out today and it was a modified Cindy. (Only one-arm, I had to do a wall press. I also only had to go for 12 minutes and only made it through 6 rounds. Weak, I know...
Loved the Cindy though. :)
3...2...1...GO!
Yo, Tucks - Don't do it.
50 days is a long time... take it from me. I'm just sayin'.
This young lady is SMOKIN.

11 rounds +5 pull ups + 10 press ups + 5 squats

What "#17 head" is saying is simply...no Crossfit does not have any kind of religious preference. I myself interpret as "infidel" of the conventional gym scene. It also apparently has some roots in supporting our troops. However, I shall not delve into that because i am not well versed enough on that subject to be spouting information on that. The info is there in the comments from that day as said if you're curious enough.
Annnnd on that note....I've never done either of these, but i'm thinking Mary just because kicking my ass is just that much fun. That and...I don't think anyone in my gym has ever seen someone go for handstand push ups. I'm all for shock value.
Jeff Tucker and Gillian give me your strength!!!
I believe the "compare to" date should be 081017.
I'm taking a breather tomorrow. Just ended my 3 in a row with doing my first filthy. Always playin catch up...Now for these sweet ladies..hmmm...not sure yet...Can't make up my mind which is sweeter. Think I might take cute little Cindy for a spin on Tues. See if I can't break 15.
Good luck to all and to all a good night.
1...2...3...Here we go
Oh and #23 AllisonNYC...
from the Saturday comments...I'm super jealous of your new found handstand abilities. I've done myself a great injustice and haven't practiced them since the Gymnastics cert, but tomorrow I will begin!
You inspired me, so thanks :)
"Cindy":
Scaling up with a 40# vest, ring push-ups with chest to bottom of the rings, and 1/2 BW (100#) squats. Gunning for 10 rounds.
Afterward I need to make-up today's 800x4. I was too wiped by the challenge WOD at Austin's gym, Unlimited in Milpitas.
Austin wrote up a partner-up WOD:
2 athletes share a barbell, and complete the following in order (for time):
55 Power Snatches @ 75#, athlete 1
55 Power Snatches @ 75#, athlete 2
Switch the weight to 95#
40 Floor-to-overhead anyhow @ 95#, athlete 1
40 Floor-to-overhead anyhow @ 95#, athlete 2
Switch the weight to 135#
30 Deadlifts @ 135#, athlete 1
30 Deadlifts @ 135#, athlete 2
I paired up with Dave from Santa Clara. He was athlete 1 and I was athlete 2. Everything was going well and we were in a close 2nd until Dave tweaked his back trying to change out the weight from 75# to 95# during the switch. Austin stepped in and continued with the 40 floor-to-overhead. He went so fast that I didn't have a chance to rest! Needless to say, the 40 reps at 95# was brutality.
I think we finished with a time of 14 minutes and some change. What a butt-kicker! I am totally wiped. We stayed around eating their holiday party leftovers and talking about the Games, the Affiliate Cup format, and the Bad Girl Open. What a fun Saturday morning!
Hey, No problem, Eric. It's what I do. ;)
I'd recommend spending some time doing them every day. I don't recommend doing 100 push-ups every day though. But hey, what the heck do I know?
JroCK, any chance you can post a normal day of fueling your machine? Being able to prepare your food and have it ready to go in baggies sounds tremendous. Thanks
You go girl, Shana "Pink Hair"! Those pix are awesome.
Cindy for me tomorrow.
i live in upstate ny and no one wears workout clothes like that, but they should.
hot chicks and muscle ups...tasty

I do not think it's a cut against religion or traditional gyms/working out. That seems to limp dick for me.
Who uses the word infidel as a degratory term? Al Quedia? I think by placing the word on a shirt, it in a sense embraces the word. Stealing it's power. Sort of like saying "if being faithful means to be like Osama, Then I am proud to be an infidel"
You are correct Osama. we do not believe as you believe. We do not think as you think....And we never will. so piss off.
I never even gave a second thought when I first saw that shirt. But now that I think about it and what blanant defiance and go F@@@ yourself that says to those who have/wish to do the U.S. harm. That Shit just sold me on a shirt.
I have been waiting for a crack at Cindy - can't wait!!! Hoping to break 20...
So I've now gone to three stores in SW CT in the past two days and they're all sold out of 1pood KBs. Each commented on the run they've had on KBs recently. I think CF is taking over the Northeast.
Cindy, I'll see you tomorrow.
Sunday musings...
1) Home. The big kids are home from college. The house is crowded and warm; it's hard to believe we had enough room to have them here full time. It's more than nice, and I miss them.
2) Carb loading. A full day of baking Chez bingo. Dozens and dozens of Christmas cookies now cover every surface in the kitchen. 50 weeks of strict Zone so I can indulge for 2. Yum.
3) Another mirror story. One of the bingo progeny, it doesn't matter which one, is kinda sad right now about a romantic relationship that didn't pan out. Looking in the mirror to discover why my child didn't really like the person who was looking back. Not terribly fit. Owner of some bad life decisions and some unhealthy choices. Looking for more success and not finding quite enough. And sad about all of that.
Mrs. bingo, the smart one in this couple, saw the opportunity. In order to find that one special person, that soul mate, the one who will like every little bit about you, you first have to like yourself. It's necessary to do whatever it takes to be happy to see the person who looks back from the mirror. She seized the teachable moment when it arose in the middle of the night.
Almost all of those unhealthy choices, those bad decisions, can be overcome. There's a fresh start out there every morning. A day filled with new first impressions to make. It's kinda like each WOD we get--each one is another opportunity to make ourselves better. We get to choose every day.
It's kind of trite I guess, but in order to be liked, to be loved, it really is necessary to like yourself. 'Cause if YOU don't, why should anyone else?
I'll see you next week...
m/31yrs/225lbs/4months crossfit
15 rounds
up from 11 rounds last time
Hot Chick, Panties (or shanties courtesy #6), and rings..... NICE! Great job Shana.
Go U of A Wildcats! Winning their first bowl appearance in ten years! Hells yeah... I'm gonna drill Cindy extra hard for the alma mater!
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know why Cindy and Mary get posted together? I always feel like I'm missing out having to choose only one. I never know if I should try and get them both in with separate workouts, to alternate each time, or to keep doing the same one to chart progress. Is this just more of Coach's logic that I have yet to understand, only to feel the effects of the next day anyway?
Well done pinkhair. Thanks for the new screensaver. word booty
Is there a video available of the Cindy and Mary doing these workouts? It sounds like a few of you have watched it...Is it right in front of my face??
#39 -- Bingo, nicely put. Thank you.
And Shana - rock on, woman!
25 Rounds
That was Fun...!
Gosh, Shana, those are the most attractive muscle-ups I've ever witnessed; (you bear an uncanny resemblance to my gorgeous wife). It is shocking how unbelievably restrained all of the comments have been so far.
Bingo, I feel so lucky to get to read your musings. Thanks again for your skillful writing and beautiful wisdom.

I will hit 24 rounds this time...I need to set a new PR on Cindy.
Let's get busy!!!!!
Nice choices. I think I'll knock out Cindy early for max rounds and a good CF smoking. Then I'll hit Mary later just to work on my HSPUs and because I've never done one-legged squats.
#52... Lemme change that-
Dammmmnnnnnnnnn girl!!!!
Cindy
19 rounds
four better than last time.
I found out about Crossfit maybe 3 weeks ago...been on it ever since. I have been searching for something like this for a long time! So today, I went with Cindy for 17 rounds!
Bring it on!!
Cindy as rx'd. 1st attempt 20 rnds. Tough one.

20 rounds + 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups
Bingo: nice post man, I look forward to reading your words of wisdom quite often. Thanks.
A little dissapointed with my performance today. Wanted more than twenty but I took off too fast out the gate and bonked by round 15. I know better but did it any way. Oh well, next time. The one good thing was that the push ups were solid.

I had a little meeting with Pukie's brother "Heaves" in between round 8 and 9. I need to learn to pace myself better. My cardio is still sucking but I love the way CF pushes me and I can tell I'm getting better everyday. Can't wait for this one to come around again.
Oh, in regards to my earlier post about trying both of these girls in the same day......sorry Mary, you and I will just have to meet another day!!
M/24/5'8/160lbs

Looking really hot Shana!
Woohoo! Pinkhair, you are awesome! Keep it up, Shana.
Pili
Did Cindy this morning but subbed jumping pull ups
17 rounds + 5 pull ups and 10 push ups. Beat my goal of 15 rounds.
Hi,
In Mary,are the one legged squats
"10 One legged squats, alternating"
10 with left on 1st round, 10 with right on 2nd round...
OR
1 with left + 1 with right + 1 with left + ... for a total of 10 (5 with both legs) every round?
I'm sure the answer is somewhere on the site but I would appreciate a quick reply from someone who knows. Thank you.
Lehti
Off schedule due to travel, but I did Cindy two days ago.
15 rounds even. Really hit a wall with pushups.
Cindy for 21 rounds.
I really thought I'd be able to pull out 22 this time. I've been stuck at 21 for some time now. I think it's mental.
25 rnds + 5 + 10
pr by over 3 rounds. Pr was set 2 weeks ago!
#32 ELo
A normal day of fueling for me consists of:
Breakfast: 5 eggs--an ounce of cheese, 2-2 1/2 cups grapes, 60-75 almonds
Lunch: 5 oz cooked chicken (weighed), 2-2 1/2 cups grapes, 60-75 almonds
snack: 5 oz cooked ckicken or 5 eggs (with an ounce of cheese), 2 cups grapes, 60 almonds
dinner: 5 oz cooked chicken, 2-2 1/2 cups grapes, 60-75 almonds
snack: 3 oz cooked chicken or 3 eggs (with an ounce of cheese), 1 1/2- 2 cups grapes, 45-60 almonds
No joke, it is as basic as it gets. Like I said, cooking is a passion next to CF and a few other things...ahem...so my food tastes good and is not bland. Each time I cook up a "batch" of eggs or 10 lbs of chicken, I make it taste different each time, so that eating doesn't get anymore "boring" than it is. However, the goal here is for fuel, to increase performance and to show myself, and others, quantifiable proof that zoning and following the main site WOD does infact blow it up!
I have coffee in the am, and it has cream and a splint of sugar. I will snag a cookie out of the jar a couple times a week, but my cheats don't go far beyond that. It is basic, rigid-as Fit Mom in CT put it-but it works like i never thought possible! And it keeps on getting better and better and better! I have just begun, and there is a long road ahead....thank God! What fun would it be to hit peak or max in a month, ya know!? Let it take...forever! I will be at this through this life and the next, I enjoy the work and the struggles! Overcoming obstacles IS what IT is about!!
~J~
Accept the Challenge, Train Hard and Push Through "IT"!
Ummmm..just a heads up. The "Compare to" is incorrect. We actually had this WOD assigned most recently on 10/17/08.
For the record, most folks choose to do Cindy when this choice comes up....because it's easier. Don't be a wimp --> give Mary some face time and push through the pistols.
first time doing Mary instead of Cindy
as rx'd
8 rounds complete, plus HSPU and 1-legged squats on rd 9
"Hi,
In Mary,are the one legged squats...?"
Comment #74 - Posted by: Lehti
5 on each leg, for each round. Go for it! :)
***ATTN SF BAY AREA***
Diablo Crossfit will be hosting a Miguel "McFlurry" Flores tribute WOD at 10:30 AM on Tuesday, 12/23/08. We invite anyone, especially those who knew Miguel, to come and complete the workout with us at "The Shed".
For more info, contact Stavros at diablocrossfit.com (WFS). Thank you!
Went out and did Mary at a globo gym. $10 for a one day pass! I had to ghetto rig a HSPU unit, as they wouldn't let me go against the wall.
Mary as rx'd:
6 rounds and 5 HSPUs.
Did Cindy today, got 33 rounds. Next time I'll do better.
My PR for Mary is 19 rounds
The rounds posted today are blowing me away! Effing great job everyone!

Last minute shopping took away from the run WOD yesterday. Will try to do Mary/Cindy (haven't decided yet) and then do the run WOD so I can use that rest day.
Sick work today everybody!
Aloha,
Jordan
WOD behind for me and an active rest day, so we did 800 at not exactly break kneck speeds. I think the filthy fifty yesterday had something to do with it.
Good news though, practiced double unders and muscle ups between sets and I got my first of both.
Something about oxygen depletion....I just realized I spelled neck with a K....I guess I need to practice spelling too.
F 44/5'2"/158
less than 1mo CrossFit
Cindy--8 rounds
Did pushups off the knees until round three, then the rest off the wall.
Pullups are hard, because my chair is a little too high to get me to work them, but I'm definitely not in condition to do the --uh oh, newbie alert--"kippings"--yes I'll go look it up. Anyway, from my folding chair, I bent my knees, dropping down to hang a little and do the pullups from there.
Dips--used to only be able to do 8 at a time, doing 15 now. Quick improvement!
I love the picture of my awesome, hot coach Shana! She is an amazing athlete, coach, and friend! I feel so lucky to be a part of CFED!!! If you're ever in Atlanta, GA come visit, it is my favorite place to be! Go Shana!!!!
Nice lesson Bingo. Life is ups & downs. Thank goodness for the opportunity to start over. A lot of us here have been re-born. Feels good.
Roll yer own today:

1st time doing Cindy
1o rounds - Subbed pull-ups for inverted rows (?!?!) ..... The push-ups slow me down .... My arms still hurt from the flithy 5o's the other day.
CINDY + 20# VEST
14 Rnds & 3 PUs
27 yom 6'2" 155#
Pre: Warmup x2 x12(pullups, ring dips, 35# kb swings, k2e, squats)
Cindy as rx'd:
21 + 5 pullups
All pullups and pushups unbroken. All pullups strict. Kept a good ROM for pushups and pullups all rounds, but the squats got a little sloppy towards the end.
Mary: 13 rounds +5 HSHSPU, 10 one legged squats, and 1 pull up
head to abmat in HSHSPU all sets of pull ups unbroken
My kind of WOD...former gymnast so going upside down is just plain fun and pull ups are one of the "easier" CF movements for me...maybe that gymnast thing again!
12 rounds + 3 Pull ups at 6000' elevation and the perpetual smoking fire pit stealing the thin air outside the gym here at Eggers.
Stateside PR for Cindy around sea level is 17 rounds + pull ups and some push ups.
I made a severe tactical error of taking on Cindy within 1 hour of consuming KBR dinner washed down with a Diet Pepsi. Oh the pain of it all. So close to Pukie, but it was this or an excuse to not do it at all and I didn't want to be the little kitty.
M/44/6'3"/190
Great post Bingo, right on the money.
M/36/5'10"/183
16 rounds of Cindy
Damn, you guys are killing me...27 rounds CK? Nice work and keep it up!
"Cindy"
32 rounds + 2 pullups.
I wanted to do Weighted Cindy, but I knew my shoulder would not like the added weight...turns out my shoulder didn't enjoy unweighted Cindy either. My pushups had to be briefly broken the last couple rounds or 33 would have been mine.
Kelly Moore, you never cease to amaze me. You are a machine!
Bingo, your posts are always welcome...thanks for sharing.
Today is my second day on this program all together. I am fat and out of shape and I'm pretty sure that cindy isn't going to go home with me. That slut really beat me up today.
Had to sub real pull ups with lat pull downs on a machine
1st and 2nd sets at 200, then 3rd and 4th at 180, 5th and 6th and 7th at 160.
Push-ups really made me feel like a ho. 1st-3rd round did all the push ups... the 4th thru 7th I was cindys hag... couldnt'get more than 3 or 4 reps.
Now the squats... all 7 rounds no problem...
Finally, cindy just laughed me out the door as I was finished after 7 sets in 17 minutes.
I feel very good though because today is the first day of the rest of my life.
Guess what, today is a gift... otherwise it wouldn't be called the present!!!
Cindy may have to wait until I find a suitable pull up location, the bar I have at my house was designed in the flawed dead-hang state of mind.
In the mean time I am going to have a go at some DIY gymnastic rings made with PVC heated in an oven. I have a pretty good idea of how this should go, but does anyone have any pointers?
25/m/5'11"/202
21 rounds + 5 pull ups
M/52/176
As rxd = 27 rounds (pr by one round.
I think that I might have been able to get a couple more rounds but I developed a nasty blood blister at round 21 and needed to change my grip on the bar to avoid it.
Day 30 push-up challenge
Crossfit staff,
Just a note to thank you for putting this all together as a concept. As an AF guy with 14 years of service, I have dabbled with different components of functional exercise over the years. My only regret is not finding you guys sooner. Life has been a blur since 2001: work, life and annual med boards stemming from a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) 6 years ago.
But honestly, the big news is that I feel better today than even before getting PD. I've been doing foundational crossfit exercises for a month and am fully sold on the results. I first learned about you guys from a TACP friend of mine. I curse his name during the routines but always thank him afterword. I just wanted to take a minute to thank you guys. I hope to speak with you soon at a level 1 certification seminar. Take care for now.
V/r,

I took cindy and got 15 rounds!
Cindy 27 round +5 pullups +3 pushups
First crossfit work out. I did Cindy and completed 12 rounds. I am a cross country runner, since the season ended I have been spending about an hour and a half between my cardio and lifting. I leave there feeling great and I am sore the next day. I was told about crossfit on thanksgiving by my cousins. I have been reading the site a lot and decided to get into it today. I plan on doing the WOD daily. I hope to build muscle mass and improve my running.
I think i have become a crossfit addict. looking forward to another great one tomorrow.
Fit Mom,
I couldn't disagree with you more... pull ups are the bane of my existence. I would blow cross fit up if I didn't have to do stinkin' pull ups! LOL Of course, I don't have the gymnast background, and I'm thinking the football background that I do have might explain why I do so well with the lifting segments, and not so much on the gymnastics segments. With all of that said, what do burpees fall under, because they're right behind pull ups for sucking! LOL Cross fit sure keeps me from being proud - I promise you that!
It will be Cindy for me (fewer pull ups) in about 3 hours!
First WOD today, 10 rounds completed. I came out of the gate a little fast and paid for it in the end.

Dude--I had been stuck at 19 rounds for over a year--it turned into a joke no matter how great or shitty I felt--19 rounds. This is what got me to 20 last month-- I sat down on my fourth point of contact for one minute at the halfway point. Don't ask me how sitting on my ass for a minute got me another round.
On the infidel shirt thing--I always took it to mean that I was infidel in the eyes of jihadists--funny story the last time I was in Iraq in 2006 it was actually put out in Baghdad that the wearing of infidel t-shirts was not allowed in FOB gyms--because clearly we would have been offending each other--whatever. Merry Christmas all.

Bingo - Thanks for sharing the wisdom. Sunday musings are a must read for me every week.
"Cindy" - 16 rounds
-felt pretty good about it until I saw Kelly Moore. HOLY CRAP!
Yesterday was my birthday. Got my girlfriend to do her second WOD (the descending DU/Sit-ups), got a shiny new kettlebell and a CF t-shirt. Today I got her sister and her bf(now a believer) on their first official WOD. I'm brewin some kool-aid.
"On the infidel shirt thing--I always took it to mean that I was infidel in the eyes of jihadists--funny story the last time I was in Iraq in 2006 it was actually put out in Baghdad that the wearing of infidel t-shirts was not allowed in FOB gyms--because clearly we would have been offending each other--whatever"
Anyone that wears an infidel shirt is normally either a support guy, swcc student or something else who actually does clothing shopping at general jacksons. It should be banned for lameness not offending each other
Mary
Rx'ed
*7 rounds in 20:17 (Pull-Ups where the goat)
6.8 rounds in under 20
4 rounds in 9:50
My old PR was 8 but I know PU where not to full lockout, and thus not up to standards.
7-8 legit rounds under 20 is my new goal.
OK- I found a WOD I am built for! As a competitive athlete, but new Crossfitter, I've been gettin my ass handed to me by these workouts and I love it. Today I did "Cindy", and ended my 15th squat seconds before the buzzer, on my 32nd round!!! Next time this comes up or I feel energetic, I'll tape it and post so people know I'm not bullsh*ting you all. This is one workout I can compete with the big boys in. Time to go pass out.

Cindy w/ Ring Pullups
17 Rounds + 5 Pullups and 10 Pushups
Had to tuck my legs due to low a ceiling for the rings. I think I could have squeezed out a bit more on a regular PU bar + kip.
32 rounds 5 pullups
Tied my pre-knee surgery pr. Legs were my limiting factor.
Kelly Moore, not that I have room to give you any advice but, with all the problems I've been having with my shoulders, I started doing pushups with my arms tight to my ribs. After months of doing them that way and warming up my rotator cuffs before every workout, I've found that I can now move my arms out away from my body again while doing pushups. However, they collapse on me when doing HSPU.

Did Mary with some jumping pull-ups when grip started to go.
Otherwise as r'xed at 10 rounds.
My first WOD ever. Got through 5 rounds of Cindy before throwing up...
These are a lot more difficult then they look on paper!
"INFIDEL" Refers to what Radical followers of Islam believe anyone who isn't Muslim are. In other words if you are not a Muslim by their standards, then you are an Infidel and your only choices are death or converting to Islam. I just ordered an "Infidel" T - Shirt, and I do feel it shows support for our troops since radical Islam is our major opponent. GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!
My shoulder injury is giving me problems not even 20 rest days could fixed it and now that i came back to train i came too weak...what can i do with my shoulder please help

Cindy
As Rx'd
13 Rounds + 5 Pull Ups, 10 Push Ups
All pull ups were dead hang because I couldn't kip on this bar. It was really a blessing in disguise because I found that I could do all those pull ups in unbroken sets. To everyone who is skeptical about the efficacy of kipping pull ups, they work. Power through them, get as many kipping as you can and then test yourself on dead hangs after a few months. The results are amazing.

Clearly, you are correct--everyone who has ever worn a shirt that says infidel on it is a pogue who is merely showcasing their "lameness" for the God's among men such as yourself. C'mon man take yourself a little less seriously.
On another note, you wouldn't be the same Will Marshall who was the S6 for 2-502IN in 2003?

I have question/comment regarding yesterday's discussion about what constitutes "elite running and deadlifting".
The reference, cited on this website, provides standards for elite crossfitters: 800m in 2:20 and DL 2 1/2 BW.
However, the barbell standard for an elite level DL for a 181 lb lifter is 548 lb (approx 3 times BW); and of course (as was pointed out yesterday) 2:20 is not even elite running for a high school athlete.
So, as Coach says, we are training to try to achieve novice levels for 800m runners AND gymnasts AND Olylifters, all in the same athlete.
Sorry for the long post! But I really would be interested in comments. Are there many Crossfitters out there with a 2:20 800m and a 2and1/2plus BW DL?
I am 53/M/162lb and have a 2:55 800m and a 345 DL
Gotta love Crossfit girls.

I disagree that "Infidel" on the shirts should have any meaning beyond that of symbolizing Crossfit as the antithesis to much of the accepted fitness dogma existing today.
However, for those that want it to carry message to Muslim radicals, you should convey that message in Arabic. كافر read from right to left and pronounced "Kaafir" is "Infidel" in Arabic.

Haven't tried either, but opted for "Mary" today given that I said I'd begin working on handstands yesterday. Did them against the wall for the workout, and pistols on top of a bench since my leg isn't flexible to stay straight out on ground level. Next time go faster.

I don't know if i have found that happy place where my body stops losing fat Time to face the fact that my chest is weak, and start the push-up challenge as most of you speak of helping to overcome push-up suckness.

Been doing crossfit for two, three day periods now. Having to alter workouts a little to get through them but Im sold. Did "Cindy" today and got 14 rounds in. I can't kipe and I couldnt do regular pull-ups after the 6th round so I did jumping pull ups to finish the last 8 rounds. The looks im getting from the body builder guys in the gym is awsome, I wish I had a camera! Can't wait to see how much crossfit helps me for my summer job of Wildland fire fighting. Thanks for the workouts!

CF really is a mental test for me. Going past where you're tired and want to quit is a wonderful feeling. Can't wait til tomorrow.

Took Cindy out for the first time today... Mary was a little bit too much woman for me to handle right now. Went 12 rounds with Cindy... hell of a gal. Amazingly though I hit the wall on the pushups though which surprised me. I thought I could've cranked out 15 but hey, CF never ceases to amaze me.
Push ups were irritating my shoulder and my knees don't enjoy pistols so I decided to do Fran.

Did "Mary" for the first time today:
6 Rounds + 3 HSPU
The HSPUs are what really slow me down. I could go faster if I didn't do them to full ROM but that's the only way I'm going to get any better at them, I suppose.

Just a suggestion to all those that cannot make 20 rounds. Try doing 1 round per minute, you'll be surprised at the improvement. I've seen 12 round people hit 20 rounds the next time they tried Cindy. Good luck
Thanks for the sample menu JrocK. I appreciate your reply. As soon as the holidays pass I'll give it a go. Hopefully my results will be similar

However I did strict pull-ups (usually kip) as I had to do them in my basement on a bar that's less than six feet off the ground with no knurling. Pull-ups were unbroken until the 13th round, push-ups were unbroken until the 8th round. All squats were unbroken. Overall I'm pretty happy with this.

Cindy as Rx (12rnds+5PLU & 10PSU) See adds.
My standard for this WOD on the Air Squats is Bottom to Top. I use the Big F-in Flat Egg (BFFE) to bottom out on. In addition the feet are placed on top of the BFFE to create a progressive push-up. Any object can be used in this manner as long as it requires the user to go low (bottom to top) on the squats. Preferably something that doesn't give a springlike effect for the return trip back up. As for the push ups, use a MedBall and put your feet on it balancing on your toes. This is also fun while performing ring push-ups.
This combo creates a much different requirement for output, and the cycles show. This is also a good way to keep everyone in your group honest in regards to how far they are going on the squats.
Yes, Shana is HOT!
Mensa Sends-
Cindy @ 14 rounds. Push Ups need serious work.

Did this right after a full ab workout.
Also, using a split pullup bar was a big factor. Whacked my head on the back bar on the 12th round. Actually dropped to the ground, holding my head, but got up right away because my time was still running.
48/male/6'/205 week 7 of CF
feeling a bit run down today...really hit it hard the last two days on the 50 and running, so...
went for a one set max of chin ups, pullups, hspu, dips and OH squat. Numbers still low but given week 7 they are improving, and the workouts are not kicking my butt as bad as they did in the beginning.

used a 10 pd weight to counter balance on sqts. really not very good at them at all.
first set of HSPU was quality, after that is was more like head dips, but still better than previous attempts at HSPU. Mostly a strength issue vice cardio when I normally do a tougher "Cyndy" with 5 pullup, 15 push ups, 25 squats, 18/19 sets in 20 min.
So all in all, nor terribly successful, but my first time doing the tougher Mary.

scheduled for liver surgery (again) tmrw morning. guessed what the WOD might be in my hotel room (no internet) and coincidentally ended up with a 'mindy' hybrid, 5 rounds of max handstand pushups, pushups and squats. averaged 4, 22, 25. will start the long road back after a week or two of rest :-/
Wow, there are some crazy #'s being posted ... and they're not from Speal. I wonder if standards are as high.

We did a workout that was put on the board at the Level II cert at CrossFit One World. We later found out that it was supposed to be 5 rounds, not just 3.
3 rounds for time of:

- 5 push press
- 10 pull-ups
- 15 box jumps
Rx'd weights were 95/65 for guys/gals.
I used 135# and a 24" box, and did full squat cleans instead of power cleans.

#395, i wish i had recorded it too, but photos/recording aren't permitted where i am. hopefully i'll have the opportunity record down the road and post a video... if only to sway the skeptics:)
pull ups and push ups are legit. squats are to parallel only (not @ss to floor) because of my knee.
today starts my second week of CF. This is my first time with cindy and she worked me for sure. 13 rounds

comment #204
There are tons of people/ athletes on this site that can attain the 2:20/ 2.5 bodyweight D.L. you mention. I haven't seen that as a WOD or anything, but I know that Speal I'm sure can smoke that.
The 2:20 is going to be hard to kill, but the 2.5 is totally attainable, as is the 2:20. If those are your goals.
I haven't tried to max out my D.L. for safetly reasons, but I just did the WOD with 5 sets of 275 D.L. and at 128 at the time that wasn't too bad. I didn't have a belt and I didn't chaulk up or anything. I know I can do 325 becuase I have not that long ago and it wasn't a max. As for 2:20. I would need to do that outdoors. The treadmill is not really good for maxing out with the running. I do the max, 10 mph when I do the 4x400 with 50 airsquats and that feels like I could do that for 800 easily if that was my WOD. That would put me at closer to 3:00 I think, but I know I can go faster than that for just a 800 race if you would call it that. I do NO training for running, other than the WOD's that coach puts out there and I know Speal can smoke the runs, from his videos and the Games times, with a sick vertical challenge.
Anyhoo, I just wanted to let you know that you can do it if you put your mind to it and train hard and intelligently, adn eat right, adn sleep right. Sleep and workout oppportunities are my biggest challenges right now with our little ones, but I never get too mad at a missed WOD when I need to take care of the little ones. Priorities. I just go nuts at the next opp at the gym. That's all... Good luck with your training.

GOOD TIMES AS RX'D
my first crossfit workout ever.....
5 rounds in twenty minutes...... seriously out of shape, but then again, i've never been a really conditioned athlete. i was proud of myself just for doing it. afterwards, i had to sit for about 20 minutes with my head spinning. I was going through all of the reasons why i should never do this again. once i recovered fully, though, I was ready for the next one, to be as good as i can, even if that's not much.
From the second round on, i had to use a pullup-assist machine. I'm ashamed. But i like this alot. I can't wait to join a crossfit class when i move to the bay area!

This was my first Crossfit workout ever. I did 15 rounds, but as a newbie needed to do supported pullups. I've never done 150 pushups ever in my life, and was kind of surprised that I could.
I've been doing a kettlebell workout and running between for the past few months - apparently it's been doing something!
I expected my arms to be the most tired at the end of this, but weirdly it was my legs that felt most worked! Really looking forward to keeping up with this workout!
