Mary, here I come!

I love Cindy!!!!!!!!!

Cindy, sweet Cindy. Looking for 12 or better. 3-2-1 GO!!!

God is Good, All the Time

Have been waiting for Cindy to make another appearance since I first met her...

give mary a chance! balance is part of fitness too! do something different, specialize in not specializing and all that jazz.

Hmm...last time I did Mary. I don't know if I should do it again just to compare...or do Cindy for something different. Dang it!

Nevermind, Mary it is :P I love pistols and hspu. Woooo!!

Cindy last time, Mary this time. Great vid on MU progression.

Knee held up ok, so pistols will be interesting.

Unfortunately we have hit 108 deaths here from the bushfires. Really horrible time and thanks to fire fighters and emergency services everywhere in the world for the magnificent selfless work you do......

Left shoulder is in a sling for at least 2 weeks. Shoulder rehab is coming!

In lieu of "Cindy," I will be doing as many BW Squats as possible in 20 minutes, while trying not to use my arms at all. This ought to hurt.

Are the one legged squats on Mary the same as pistols?

My arms are sadly sore from yesterday's W.O.D.
Last time I did "Mary"

Which one do you guys think is harder?

never tried Mary. time to let her destroy me. Also just downloaded Barber's weights and times for a lot of his WOD's. Planning on matching/ beating as many as possible in the next year.

FilFest '09 was bad ass! I'm still trying to wrap my brain around all the information. Kudos to everyone that made it happen. Coach, Thanks for every thing you do for the us. Its a tight group!

And now Cindy on monday...New day, New PR!

I PR'ed Cindy during the last Murph we did... Gonna be good to see how much better I got in a month.

I hope the superglue can hold my hands together!

Herm,

I hope you strap your arm down just to make sure.

Rookie,

Sweetness on the knee. Don't go crazy with it.
Sorry about the fires.

"Cindy last time, Mary this time. Great vid on MU progression.

Rookie, please don't! I know you are young, but please warm up extra long and MAKE SURE your knee is good to go! Don't unnecessarily wreck your knee! It puts too much strain on your ACL/MCL if you're not 100% on your knee. Trust me, I have seen these injuries happen with pistols.

Try doing "Mary" with regular BW squats.

way to go lauren! wait till you see this girl in the qualifier. she's a beast.

Hello Cindy, nice to meet you for the first time.

beautiful video

I love me some Cindy =]

Going for 15 rounds!

"Herm,

I hope you strap your arm down just to make sure."

Jakers, thanks brother. I actually have a straight-jacket left over from the Mental Health Institute days, which I was planning to use.

Well, one of us is happy about "Mary".. Not me but I'll do her anyway..

Yesterday I made up the OH WOD and did one of my own:
Press: 75, 80, 85f, 80, 80, 80. 80 felt easy.. 85 didn't. I'll take it. At least I'm getting some of my strength back. Still about 18# short of my PR
Push Press: 95, 100, 105, 110, 105 (PR 118)
Push Jerk: 105, 110, 115, 120, 125 (F after 3), 125 (F after 3) (125 is my PR by 5 so I'm ok with that)

Mine:
21, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, 3:
Row for calories
Ring Dips (assisted... working on my weakness)
Knees to Elbows

Just tried a pistol and my quad cramped. Can't wait to do a ton of them tomorrow! :D

Nice work on that video. Very well done!

I was at the gym today doing skill work. Handstands, walking on my hands, L sits, etc. I was sitting in the hot tub after thinking "Next time Cindy or Mary comes, I will do Mary." Seriously, I was thinking that today. I was even thinking of it yesterday when I worked on pistols.

I have done Cindy 3 times. Tomorrow will be the first for Mary. Hittin it hard!

Herm-thanks for the advice and calling me young. I suppose 36 is still young and feel like a 20 year old.

Hope the shoulder is repairing well.

Will probably just do my left leg pistols x 10 instead.....

AMAZING VIDEO! Well done! I'm so pumped! I want to do the WOD NOW!!!

We need more people doing Mary this time. I know last time most of you did Cindy as did I.

Let's hear it for MARY!

I wish the MU progression video was up a couple of months ago when I first got my rings. It could have helped me. I just got them a few days ago on the 30 MU WOD.

going for twenty on Cindy... i got 17 last time... it was prob two months ago.. let's see how much i've improved... looking foward to it!!!

3..2..1.. Puke!

Best Video Ever!

ahha! That video was awesome! So much fun to watch that.

I vote all people who have done Cindy the last three times this WOD has come up try Mary.

CINDY!!!!! I'll give my best i love cimdy i can't hit mary because my tendoms(lack of flexibility at one legged squat) but i'll hit cindy so hard!!!!!

HERM, ROOKIE!!! Please guys be carefull with your injuries take it easy HEALTH FIRST guys hi Eric Gohl big hugs bro lets hit cindy...Playoff Beard it's hard to wait to the games ah??...strong lil pony you are a tough and lovely woman...Jennifer my deep friend big hugs love ya you are great...Pedro Barrera keep the hard work bro...OneFastBird21 lets compete bro lets hit cindy ok?...fitmom you are an awesome woman...allisonNYC keep strong heaters are all arround...tonythechiro hang on bro my best wishes and prayers...all you guys in the forum have a great training day

time to hit it again, hit it hard, fast, and from every direction!!!

"...I suppose 36 is still young and feel like a 20 year old.

Hope the shoulder is repairing well.

Will probably just do my left leg pistols x 10 instead....."

Comment #24 - Posted by: Rookie - Crossfit Gold Coast

We are all young at heart, and that's what got me in trouble with my shoulder in the first place... "no big deal, the pain will be temporary"... boy was I wrong!

Crossfit is the ultimate time machine/fountain of youth, but as Coach says, CF is very powerful medicine which needs correct dosing. Good decision on the pistols. Be well, brother.

hey guys just a question, im still a little new to crossfit (just over a month) and scale some of the WOD's, not all, just some, thing is, at the time of the WOD during and after i feel smoked, completely worn like it was a great workout, you know? i always think im gonna be tore up the next day, and coincidentally the next day im never sore, really at all, should i stop scaling? any suggestions?

Herm @ 6:40PM

Dare I ask which side of the door you were on?

Some people do mistake intensity for pathology.

I'll do cindy.after snowboarding tomorrow. Going for 33 rounds or better. Knee is feeling much better.

cfwu x 1

Comment #31 - Posted by: s'more

Hi s'more!

During my recovery this weekend, when I was staying at one of my client's bed&breakfasts with my incredibly patient and gorgeous girlfriend, we noticed that he didn't have a microwave. So we decided to get one for him at Target (a large American retail shop). We were in the kitchen appliance section and she found something that reminded us of you:

A microwavable s'more maker! Check it out:

http://www.aldenteblog.com/2008/09/smores-microwav.html

hahahaha!!! That's great Herm please take care with your knee and shoulder...bro i have a question, did you compete at the one world's fish day?

that video lit a fire under my a$$!!!

I am so honored to be a part of Crossfit after watching that video.

Did 1/2 Cindy tonight as a cool down for the week... didn't even realize it was posted. 14 2/3 rounds in 10 minutes. That's PR pace.

I've never tried Mary -- I think it's time to try.

I have an idea that I think would improve these comment pages for we posters. Perhaps this isn’t really the forum for this discussion – but I didn’t want to just send a letter to Coach and Lauren Glassman before getting the community’s input. I think it’s a keen/swell idea, but others in the Crossfit community might disagree. Hence this post.

The idea: Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to display avatars, show pictures, and have nested comments on these pages? (there are a bunch of free ones that would do the trick: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software)

*CONS :*
1) If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The site’s worked just fine like this for years.
2) It’ll cost Coach some money to make a change… Even if the posting software is free he’ll probably have to pay his webmaster to install it.
3) Depending on the system, you might have to log in to post. That could be a hassle.
4) Pictures might clutter up the page if filters don’t prevent people from posting ones that are too large.
5) Different software would change the look of the comment pages. And since a good percentage of you are white republicans like me, the very idea of change causes us apprehension and terror. :D

*PROS :*
1) Nested comments: With the current system all posts are chronologically sequential. With nested comments, you could either post normally, or ‘reply to’ someone else’s post, and your post would show up right underneath theirs. I like this idea for the following reasons:
1a) FAQ questions: “Hi, what’s a muscle up?” “What can I sub if I don’t have a row machine?” “So that’s (21+15+9) reps each round?” “I’m confused by the word ‘pood.’” - Every time someone asks these questions there are three or four responses littering the list further down for each time the question is asked. Plus the person who asked the question will have a hard time finding the responses (see next) and sometimes you see them ask the same question again because they didn’t see the responses.
1b) It’s currently hard to search for answers to questions. Maybe #147 asks “What’s the fastest way to heal a torn callus?” if you want to see other people’s answers you can search for “#147” …but chances are that somewhere a post got deleted so the post number changes, so your search doesn’t find an answer. Now if you really want to know, you have to skim through about 300 comments.
1c) It’s also hard to find the question that goes with the answers when posts are renumbered. You read “#45 Ha! I agree 3-2-1 go!” – but that post isn’t #45 anymore. It takes a bit of detective work to find the post they were originally referring to.
1d) With most forum software, you can have the site email you if someone comments or replies to your post, answering your question. Or if they had a question about your post. How handy would that be?
1e) With nesting, off topic conversations would be bundled together. If you’re interested in the following discussions, you can read them all at once to get the story. If not, you could just skip them:
- The song in that video swears and I’m offended / Stop whining, we’re all adults
- Some journalist wrote an article that says Crossfit’s dangerous / They’re dumb, we rule!
- I have an inspirational Crossfit story / Yes, that is an inspirational Crossfit story
- I’m going to be in X city tomorrow, who wants to work out with me? / (no response)
- I hear Gym Jones is great, just like Crossfit / Mark Twight is the devil incarnate
2) Avatars. Having a picture of the user (or their favorite icon) next to each post would help build recognition in the community. Tom/34/6’/185lbs might only post once a week, but if every post has his picture next to it then it helps us all remember him. I think that with avatars people will be more aware of other people’s progress and personalities. Most people are visual, and having an image to associate with a person makes the info stick in the ol’ noodle.
3) Pictures. I think it would be cool if we could post pictures. If given the option, I think there would be a few people posting before/after photos, and it would help to further inspire the rest of us. Plus you’ve got people posting all the time about something they built for their garage gym – I wouldn’t mind it if they could show us what those things look like.

That’s my piece.

Train hard, 3-2-1 go, Semper Fi, Army strong, Bring the Kool-Aid, Thanks Coach, etc.

That is a great video! It brought a smile and a tear at the same time. Good job Overload, and good job CrossFit.

Pat Barber

Barber you are the dude I look up to, want to catch hardcore, and compete with.

Great video from Overload. They truly outdid themselves.

I can tell from an editing standpoint- that video took a long time and a lot of tedious work. Outstanding job.

#8 Herm
Glad to hear your shoulder is well into recovery and you're able to keep active!

#21 AllisonNYC
Good to see you're back and healthy again! Rub out that cramped quad and enjoy "Mary" tomorrow! It's gonna be funnnn :)

#39 Rookie
Nice to see your knee is holding up better. Thoughts and best wishes still go out to you and TonyTheChiro with the fires. Read one of your comments from yesterday saying they were due to arson. Just can't believe that...how awful.

"...did you compete at the one world's fish day?"

Comment #41 - Posted by: s'more

Yes! I had the highest score of the night, but didn't win the tournament. It was a BLAST!

Herm @ 7:16 PM

That is awesome!

PS It doesn't look zone friendly. I'll take two.

The vid.. stellar..

Great video.

P.S. Nice horns Craig and Jeremy, from Diablocrossfit.

sortof as rx'd

10 left leg pistols

10 rounds + HSPU + pistols + 3 pullups

pistols were taxing on the one leg

Congratulations Nicole and Sarah on your level 1 cert! (lookin good front row with those crossfit cape cod shirts!) We are just getting started!

Great bro you have a great attitude!!! You didn't win but you looks happy...THAT'S THE SPIRIT!!!

Ugh, just did chelsea +5 with 10 more sets of 5/10/15 thrown on at the end on saturday. might have to skip this.

hey Rookie you are unstopable!!! You are a machine bro!!! Big hugs that's the attitude...never give up never surrender!!!

#44 Jim

I agree with pretty much everything you said. So chalk a point up for approval by me. Not to mention i enjoyed the casual humor that came along with that proposition :) I lol'd

Loved the video and I am humbled to be a part of it, thanks crossfit overload, that was great :>)

As far as tomorrow goes, I will be doing roaming Diane that was suggested by Adam Temple Owl and done by the coolest crossfitter ever, Adrian "Boz" in this video:

http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/CrossFit_AdrianRoamingDiane.mov

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

Fantastic video. When the curious ones (or haters) wonder why we are so hyped and dedicated to the Crossfit program/lifestyle, this video says it all.

i'll buy that microwave s'more maker =)

That video is awesome, really awesome, good editing Overload.

I agree with #44, it would be useful to have comments using a forum system (nested, ratings, collapse/expand), easier for searching in the future. I imagine some people would be annoyed at having to login but it does have its upsides.

Watching that video at the FilFest with my huge CrossFit Family I was filled with pride for the blessing of being a part of something so amazing and powerful. Thank you Coach and Lauren ! We are all better people because of you and CrossFit. What a great weekend too.....Freddy, I have the pictures and I'll send em to you and Jen :)

Darn. I really love Cindy!!! But this is my week to do crossfitendurance. Then in March I will be doing double days, main site WOD in the AM and ENdurance main site in the PM. Training for first triathlon in May. GET IT!!!!!

Billy - where were you in the vid. be nice to put a face to the name!!!

s'more - thanks bro. happy cooking......

Lauren is a cutie!

That is the most kickass!! crossfit video ever!!

cant wait for Mary. A chance to do full ROM HSPU for the first time in a workout.

#44 Jim

I think those are all good ideas. Especially the nested comments, and I think Avatars are good ideas too. It would make it easier to check OPT's times if you could just scroll through and find an avatar. There is something to be said for the simplicity of the current format however.
But I think overall it would be worth somebody looking into. Dealing with the FAQ's with the nested comments is a good idea....I wonder if there is another way to deal with this...like maybe put a header under the "Post a Comment" section that says something like *Before you post questions please check the FAQ*. Maybe that could work, but then again I think it adds to the community if people ask questions and real people doing crossfit take the time and answer them...then again sometimes it gets a bit old seeing 'what's a pood?'

BTW the "Some journalist wrote an article that says Crossfit’s dangerous / They’re dumb, we rule!" line is Golden! lol.

Todd, Nice shirt my friend! Makes you look like even more of a stud. Hope to see you again soon and tell the fam I said hello!

Mr.Speal great to see you are posting...have a great workout...you are awesome!!! I'm a big fan

Don't normally post to comments unless it's a score, however wanted to say congrats Lauren on the muscle up and thanks for the informative video. I'm starting the muscle up progression now.
Thanks,
Jeff

58/M/195
Sunday the 8th
Ohhh.. Haa ha ha I should've known better! Ha Ha
Today I did Fat Cindy (20lbs weight vest) 14 rounds + 2 pullups.

JPW's tied up, so here it is, from the Bingo's mouth, so to speak. Newbies, come on in, the water is warm (if you are brand shiny new, go here: http://www.crossfit.com/cf-info/start-how.html). Paul

"Cindy" and "Mary", the evil twins of CF, arriving as a pair with some regularity, approachable and feared (rightly) by both newcomers and pros. Did you know that there are two teenagers in Ramona, CA who have Cindy scores in the 30's? Speaking of Ramona, consider visiting BrandX if you haven't done these yet for a reasonable way to scale them.

"Cindy": 5 PU--you've been doing PU all month. Scale these just like all the rest. Record what you did so that you can compare the next time she comes around. Doing "Cindy" as Rx'd is one of the first achievable milestones available to us mortals. Same thing with the push-ups. Squats = air squats: no weight on your shoulders, just you.

"Mary": 5 HSPU--there was a great link a couple of days ago on HSPU subs and progression. No, I'm NOT going to give you the link. You're a big kid and it's important that you learn how to find it on your own. It's still on the front page. 10 one-legged squats--that's 10/round. 5 right leg, 5 left leg. No, it doesn't matter if you do 5 with one then 5 with the other or 1R/1L etc. Do 10. 15PU, same as "Cindy". And no arguing about kipping vs. straight. No one cares what you choose to do; the default PU on CF is STILL the kipping PU. It's a power thing...

FWIW, entry to the big-dog club is 20 rounds of "Cindy" as Rx'd and 10 rounds of "Mary" as Rx'd. That means no subs and no assist.

3-2-1...Go.

Comment #11 - Posted by: bingo at January 27, 2008 7:14 PM

Great Video.

I like Cindy when I'm doing her...but everytime I see her I'm scared to death.
Last time I did 20 rounds if I remember correctly...but that was post a muay thai session. I would like to see what it is fresh.

Great video! Yesterday's from Coach has me anxious to see what he has up his sleeve for the athletes this year. What a Community!

Is that 10 reps on one leg then next round the other leg? Or is it 10 each leg per round?

Man that is the most amazing CF video. Bar none. The closing and opening of CFHQ with the military really effected me. The photos of the fallen and the music remind me how fortunate we are.

13 +5+10+2

I love some cindy.

talk about a motivating video..

GET SOME! CROSSFIT!

3-2-1 GO!

Epic video! After seeing most of the videos that have been posted in the last two years, there were a lot of familiar clips. Love it!

Great video.

You m****rf*****s make me proud!

Such a motivational video.
Thanks Crossfit Overload.

Took 4 days off and quit the n.o. explode and creatine for a while...had a scary episode while on patrol last week...was probably super dehydrated...feeling better now.

Last two times:
20 DEC 08 Cindy 19x as RX'ed
15 MAY 08 Mary, 5x RX'ed + 3 with jumping pullups

This time...according to JPW its big dog time...

10 rounds as Rx'ed, with 11 seconds left...

WOW........that may have been one of the most inspirational videos i have ever seen! Excellent work Crossfit Overload. I am proud to be apart of such an awesome community!

Cool video.

Hey everyone, I just read a thread in the forum where Josh Everett discussed his training routines. Highly recommend it.

Josh, if you read this what sports did you play in college? I'm just curious because the only people I have ever known to workout like that are wrestlers and track and field athletes with an occasional football player.

Damn. Before I read any post to this thread I would just like to say that the video inspired me. Not only from the realization that soooo many people benefit from CrossFit; but also that Coach G has essentially built this from scratch. As a former Air Force NCO turned Officer after getting my paper in Kinesiology, turned civilian, I can't tell you how much respect I have for Coach and all who have helped him get to where CrossFit is today. I can only hope that my entrepreneurial spirit can get me half as far in the fitness industry.

7 1/2 rounds. I have to scale back a bit as i have to teach all next week and cannot afford to be too sore.

Anybody Crossfitting at Al Udeid AB?

I just won a 6 month, all expense paid trip courtesy of the USAF and wanna know what I'm in for, fitness-wise.

2 awesome videos...guy and gals if your not a subscriber to the journal....your MISSING OUT!! and Overload amazing job really make me proud to be a part of this.

would like to say that other than the 4 or so affiliates in Mississippi, that this state is slowly catching on to crossfit. At drill this weekend, I discovered the state is paying for soldiers to go to the Level 1 cert at Crossfit Hattiesburg (thanks guys!) in March. I almost Passed out!!! I had been preaching crossfit for the past year, and finally someone is listening...I was floored to hear that others are finally catching on. Just in time for deployment.

I AGREE WITH JIM!
Awesome videos.

Quick question...have shoulder issues when i do pull ups. I'm working on it, but until i can do more, are dips acceptable subs??

New to Crossfit, heaves are a big weak point for me, took me a long time to work through them.

Did Cindy for 6 Rounds

i needed that video. i was thinking about giving up on crossfit after frustrations with it. the vid reminded me why i fell in love with crossfit. i WILL be doing my second cindy tomorrow!

for the floor

what are peoples views on creatine and anyone had any positive effects with WODs?

What other supplements are people using that they'll cop too? :)

11 rounds with non-kipping pullups
Felt horrid after doing Saturday's WOD on Sunday!! When does this get easier?!?!?!

Evan,

what is the title of the forum topic in which Josh Everett discusses his training. I can't find it. That guy is a monster!

Buy in
BS 5x 31 / 31 / 41 / 51kg

ME weight in kg
56 / 61 / 63 (20% below current 5RM)
Worked mostly on form: good depth - way below parallel - and having weight squarely on the heels all the time. Forgot to keep an eye on whether butt is going back before going down or not, except on last round.

10min rest, then

Metcon
in 12 mins I did:
8 rounds of Cindy, then subbed 10 situps for the squats and did another 6 rounds of 5 Pull-ups, 10 Push-ups, 10 sit-ups

Left wrist still not ok, was giving me some grief on push-ups; squats were clearly not a good idea after doing BS - very slow!; have to work those sit-ups!

No time for cash-out.

Absolutely. hands down the best video I have seen yet in two years!! Holy effing tihs!

There have been videos galore that have touched me...McFlurry, Operation Phoenix, and a plethora of others that have a VIP seat in my Crossfit Soul. This had excerps from all of my favorite ones, and pumped me up to no end!

Well done Overload and God bless all fellow crossfitters, past present and future!

Sara and I find out today at 2:00pm whether we are having a BOY or a GIRL Crossfit baby! We are so bloody excited!

Getting onesies made asap...

"I poop for time"

Any other ideas for onsies? I would love to here them!
And for real, I am going to be contacting a lot of fellow affiliates in the next month to request an order for a onesie with the affiliate name on it! FOR REAL!

Having a mobile build that has rings, med ball, db, kettlebell, barbell, plyo boxes and the like!

Oh yeah...I will be able to tell him/her that she was predestined to Crossfit! :)

Congratulations! That's such exciting news! And I seriously laughed so hard when i read your idea for a personalized onesie! That's is PERFECT! Let us in on the news when ya know :)

Picked Mary last time.

Did "Cindy" 10/17/08 and did "Cindy" today.

kipping pull ups
thigh to floor in push ups
below parallel in squats-no dynamax ball used.

27 rounds exact-PR by 3 2/3 rounds.

Cindy: 20 rounds, 5 pushups, 7 pullups

A bit dissapointed. Exactly 2 rounds to the pushup shy of best. Felt great last night when this came up and thought for sure this was going to my morning to hit 23 rds. Have a great day all!

Thanks to our fellow instructors, our gracious hosts and, most of all, the awesome participants at the Level 1 cert in Montclair this weekend. Simply a fantastic seminar from beginning to end.

Congratulations to all the new Level 1's. You were truly a special group and we were honored to be able to contribute to your experience.

20 Rounds as RX'D

I always find myself choosing Cindy, guess I have to choose Mary now. Always one WOD behind, did the Row - Sumo - Pull - up WOD this morning at 0500, good workout. 4 1/3 rounds.

I get chills every time I see Lt. Col. Dan Wilson get his first MU. Great job, Dan!

Great video. Thanks to Overload.

Verrrrry sneaky there, Apolloswabbie.

16 rounds

all pullups done as 'assisted' deadhang type.

Great Day for me!! Finally pulled off Cindy as rx'd!!! no assist pu's, and no stupid knee push ups. I am so excited to share this with my crossfit community because my fat husband doesnt care;( (has crossfit broken up marriages..?)
as RX"D YAY
11 rds and 4 pull ups. Lame I know, but a breakthrough for me!

I wish the same success for everyone else. All you anonymous peeps out there are always on my mind! Its a way of life for real.

That's so awesome! You can definitely count on all of us caring and being proud that you were able to make such an achievement in your workout and overall fitness!
Not sure if Crossfit has ended a marriage, but i can testify to it preventing a relationship to begin with haha. If a girl can't appreciate Crossfit...then she's just not for me! lol :) Keep workin hard!

FOB Falcon, Iraq

Jim, count me on board with the approval of the changes. At first I thought your idea was stupid because i skimmed and saw "avatars" and thought of stupid chat rooms I went in as a young teenager (I associate things oddly sometimes.) But, I digress, after I read it, it sounds awesome. I agree with everything you said about the nesting. I find it hard to navigate the comments sometimes, though I do it anyway because the advice on here is worth looking around for. We'll see if Coach buys off on it, which he should. Your idea is well thought out, as opposed to the constant "why don't we just get a different comments section and leave this for times" type of comments that I love oh so much.

45/m/175

Cindy - as rx'd
26 rounds + PU, PSHU, + 5 squats.

That evolution video is just about the greatest thing I've ever seen. Big time congratulations to the people that produced that, great content, style, and production.
Makes me want to go do Cindy again and I just finished two hours ago.

I just wanted to say thank you again to all of the trainers at the Level 1 Cert at Crossfit Montclair this weekend. Your knowledge and passion for all things Crossfit made the two days fly by and made me wish we could have a week-long cert.

To those on the board that have not had a chance to attend a Level 1 Cert I highly recommend it if possible. While there is a vast amount of information about Crossfit and the movements and philosophy and methodology available, nothing can replace the dynamic experience of the cert. Videos are certainly a great way to see and learn the foundational movements, but in order to gain a better understanding of the movements nothing beats seeing someone go through rep after rep, both good and with faults, right in front of you, and then having that person work you through the movement to reinforce everything that was said. Add to that the opportunity to listen to, and ask questions of, people like Pat and Chuck and all of the other trainers, people who fill Crossfit with an immeasurable amount of life and spirit, you will leave the cert not only ready to attack the next WOD, but ready to, and wanting to, spread the word of Crossfit to everyone you meet. I am glad to say that I actually did have an opportunity to introduce someone to Crossfit within an hour of leaving the cert, and I could not stop talking about everything that I had learned.

If any of you are interested in taking your Crossfit experience to the next level, both for personal goals and for helping others in the Crossfit community, the Level 1 Cert is a great step to accomplishing those goals.

17 rounds even as rxd at 6000'

last time 12 rounds +3 pull ups

I think I've adjusted to the altitude.

My warm up today was bench and dead lift work out, so it may have been higher if I didn't have that mixed in.

Hadn't done Cindy since last May! Not the greatest results ever...chest was sore/tired starting out and push-ups slowed me way down. Everything else unbroken and quick.

Cindy - 19 rounds plus pullups as Rx'd.

Last Cindy was 16 + pullups. Pushups still kill me.

Wonderful video by CF by Overload, solid work, I'm so motivated by watching where CF is going, listening to Greg talk about how far it has come, and where it will be going, I truly can't get enough of this stuff.

I felt really good...well at least as good as one can feel when going through one of these workouts. My lower back and lower abs needed a little break after this past cycle of workouts.

I need to work on my HSPU so that I can try Mary eventually.

Just as a sidebar, there was a couple of people who came up to me as I was doing this workout and asking me questions along the lines of "you sure are working hard aren't ya?" and I all I could do was grunt. Big difference from the body building workouts where you could actually converse with people...but I love it!

two great vids,

I would just like to thank Pat, Chuck, Dennis, Joe, Mike, and the lovely EC and Jenn for being such fantastic trainers and teachers at this past weekend's Level 1 Cert in Montclair, NJ. And thanks to Greg from Guerilla Fitness for hosting the event, it was truly a memorable and informative experience in a great facility. Meeting 2 of my heroes in EC and Jason "Rhabdo" Kaplan was truly an honor and I want to thank everyone for all of their advice and input. All of the trainers showed unwavering passion and competency and deserved the admiration and praise that I'm sure they will receive from other attendees like myself. Thank you again.

Chose Mary today because my HSPU’s and pistols are terrible. Was planning on doing Cindy today but realized that I ALWAYS pick Cindy because I suck at Mary.

So, here was Mary:

7 Rounds + 3 HSPU
Butt to heels on each pistol. Good ROM on the HSPU’s. Glad I chose it.

Dan D.

#154 Julie - Is your husband completely unaware of your athletic history? Can he not appreciate the fire within you? Maybe he's just afraid that you getting strong just means further humiliation out on the ski slopes... ;)

As for me, I've got O-lifting with my coach on Tuesdays and the pulls on Cindy always destroy my hands, so my quest for anything over 24 rounds will have to wait until Wednesday or Thursday.

two rounds down from last time but carrying slight elbow injury and groin injury (no excuse)

today is kind of a big day for me...

I went into it today with a sinus infection and a chest full of congestion. My lungs have never burned so badly. My last PR was 23 rounds, and was going for 25 today but only made 19 after 14 minutes and had to end it before I died on the gym floor. Maybe next time...

SWEET pic from the Level 2 cert at CrossFit Central! Nicole, I love that you have your one sleeve rolled up. ;-) show off...

Great meeting everyone at the L2...I really learned a lot from all of you.

#154 Julie congrats...keep the hard work nothing better than a strong woman...

"Cindy"
16 rnds + 5 pull-ups

My records show that I hadn't done Cindy in just over a year. Apparently doing Mary each time they came around. In any event, old PR was 12+ rnds for Cindy.

mark - 22 rounds + 5/10/2

Theresa - 14 rounds + 5/7
(all pushups - no knees! small band kips)

The video "The Evolution" is excellent! How motivating and inspiring to be a part of this community!

Thanks also to Jeff Tucker for the video on "MU Progression!" I think I can see the light.

Wow... what an amazing video! Wow! Great editing job!!

Cindy - 15 rounds as Rx'd

Cindy
20 + 5 pull up/10 push up

I did Cindy

M/27/6'/250

2 rounds as rxd, then 7 more rounds on the assisted pull up machine with weight added since I am a beginner at pull ups. Struggled on the pullups, pushups were great, toward the last 2 rounds the squats were getting to me but hung in there.

Gotta start somewhere!

M/49/5'11"/174

Cindy 20 + 25/30
(5 squats short of 21 rounds)

New PR. I was inspired by that great video.
Keep them coming.

OK it looks like just about everyone here has done Cindy again.

I did Mary for the first time:

11 Rounds plus 5 HSPU

First time so I know I can do 12 or 13 next time.

Funny... Not being able to do HSPU's was the reason why I found Crossfit. Now that was the easiest part of the WOD. I have never done more than 10 pistols total in one day and I was usually hurting. Today after the first round, I was in the grove. Muscles feel great. I do something in between the butterfly kip and a regular kip. I use way less energy that way. Every PU round was unbroken.

I never mentioned this, but I work out in Truckee at 6500' elevation.

Rock climbing at the gym today after work. Yeah!

My wife says I workout and do too many sports and we are going to go broke. I'd rather try to do too much fun stuff and go broke than not.

Post #207 - Where are you stationed in Kuwait? I am currently crossfiting in the gym on KNB which is about 15 minutes from camp Arifjan. Crossfit is the only thing that keeps me and my buddies sane out here.

m/5'3"/160/29

I typed that I would do Mary last night, but I meant Cindy. Last time they came up I had no pullup bar or even an unfinished basement and some 2x4's to use for pullups so I did a personalized Mary. So.....

S'more!!! I loved this wod, one of my faves ever, but I gotta get faster and have someone else count my rounds! I had to make a mark on my book after my squats slowed me a bit. Tear it up man, someday I'll be fast like you!!!

I use NO Explode, some creatine, and protein. I am taking a break from the first two right now as I had a dehydration attack out on the other day. It didnt stop me from work, but it did cause me some pain, for sure. I am taking a month off of that stuff, and I took four days off of crossfit and just hydrated...came back today and pr'ed Mary by 5 rounds as RX'ed. I needed that.

16 rds (might have been 17, but I lost count) + 2 pullups.

Wow! That video. I agree with #42, and it gave me chills, and it made me tear up. Strong stuff. Need to make watching that part of my morning routine.

Did Cindy today. My third time. I wanted to give Mary a go but talked myself out of it. I still don't have the kip and 15 sucky pull ups each round would have killed my intensity. So,19 rounds. Not the best, but I increased one round from december and stopped the clock at 19:06.

I'm coming around.

Pumped about the cert this weekend! Cannot wait to walk into a crossfit gym. Gonna feel like home

Did Cindy, 16 rounds. first workout in a week because of Bronchitis.

That was an awesome video. I feel inspired and so grateful to have been able to workout again.

Cindy - 17 rounds as Rx'd

Comment #247 - Posted by: fat tony at February 9, 2009 9:14 AM

Thanks, after I haven't seen any progress with my old workout, I figured I'd give this a try. Plus my buddy who I worked with in Iraq started this when he was in Afghanistan and showed me the progress pics, I was amazed. I hit my goal of 315 max bench, so it's time to change and move away from lifting. I have been watching videos, reading almost everything on here which is motivation itself.

Yeah so 19 rounds was not what i was supposed to type. Had just read someone else's 19 round post and wasn't thinking. 14 rounds is what I did. LOL. Not a beast like that. Sorry for the mix up

I may have miscounted and had 15. Either way, PR. Pretty good, since I didn't have a rest day yesterday.

Baaarely made 14. 5 pull-ups is nothing. 15 squats is nothing. 10 push-ups becomes something very quickly. It used to be nothing. I wonder what's going on there.

As Rx'd. 16

First time with Cindy......Globo just love Crossfitters grunting and shock horror sweating!!!

Off to Afghan in less than 7 weeks, going to crank it up by adding Crossfit endurance into the mix as well!

Mary here I come! does anyone know what subs for HSPU are? I've never done Mary before but want to give it my best shot, and seeing as I am only able to do 1 or 2 HSPU a sub might be helpful this time around? Thanks in advance!

as usual, I try to start hard and get ahead of the 1/min pace, then just end up getting winded at about minute 7 and end up back on the 1/min pace. I have done Cindy at least 8 times and have yet to get over 20. I am however happy with that number and will continue to plow thru.

Daryl,

Yes, I'm familiar with the BrandX forum. I did not, however, know about the www.board.crossfit.com forum. Thanks!

As for their software, those are nice in that they have avatars, but the splitting comments across multiple pages prevents people from reading deeper into the comments. I like the one-page comments the way they are now. Plus those sites have avatars are huge and take up a lot of space (especially if the post is only a few words).

I just imagined something streamlined like we have it now, just with a small avatar and the ability to 'reply to this post.'

Oh, and I'm glad some of you enjoyed the inside crossfit jokes I threw in there. It was a long post, so I figured I'd make it entertaining while I made my point.

Every time I'm not sure how I'm going to squeeze more in, but it happens. Continued improvements. Love / Hate Cindy. Should move to Mary next time but (or because) my pistols suck.

First day of CrossFit!

I was feeling pretty good about 7 rounds of Cindy until I started reading these 20+ rounders. It's going to be a long climb up!

#207 Ramsland
Good to hear you made it there safe and sound, not to mention spreading the word! Take care of yourself out there and continue to work hard. We want you coming back better than ever

#226 Corey Bibolet
My family tells me the same thing, "you work to hard, you're going to hurt yourself, that's too much...blah blah blah". I know they mean well, but they just don't understand :) And as for going broke, well I'll meet you in the poor house soon!

That "Evolution" video is probably the most kick-ass thing I have ever seen...as a XFit rookie, it's truly eye-opening at the current effects and unlimited potential of this Sport...

Quick question for those on Zone: Are kidney/black beans OK for carbohydrate blocks? I know they are in the favorable of CFJ 21 but recent search of forums lead me to believe they are not (not just from the Paleo folks). They are such a great tasting and easy substitute to a plate full of veggies is why I'm asking.

Thanks!

RE: Comment #121 - Posted by: Andrew

I used to live in Bahrain(my folks still do)

Try Ghassan's Gym 17 695 911 or Al Gosaibi Gym 17 293 221.

Both in Budayia and are good solid gyms where you lift as high as you want!

You will be safe there - they may not seem it, buy they are ex-pat friendly once they see you a few times. most of the guys dont speak much English, but dont let it worry you - a realy friendly bunch.

Good luck,

So maybe someone asked this already but I didn't feel like reading all the comments (which I guess is support of the nested comments feature). I've never tried Mary but have done Cindy. Should I try and improve my Cindy score or should I try a new WOD in Mary? Thoughts - Herm, Bingo, JPW, Apolloswabbie, anybody?

Had to blast out 33 solo high C's (don't be confused, was singing in a run of a rock musical, and trust me, hitting those notes is incredibly difficult to do) this past weekend, so I am just starting up again since last Thursday. Since I rocked Cindy last time, gonna do Mary this time. I am frothing at the mouth.

I also get from everyone... "I want to look like you" Then I tell them what I do and most drop it. I have only converted a couple people so far. Most would rather spend 2 hours in the gym on the elliptical and doing curls, etc.

I am getting so close to challenging all the "big" guys in my gym to a lifting contest at lifts they do every day and I never do... just to prove my point.

Haha I dont know about that, I think my was only mid 20's it been a while since i have done it so...... we are evenly matched my good man... lets do it bro! Time to get nutty...

Need to pick up my speed where is “easier”- the squats.
Well, I read a few earlier posts and several seemed to be taking on their “least preferred” girl workout. Sooo…I opted for Cindy. I like Mary lots and have with with it, and I actually get very nervous about Cindy (even more so than I already do on all of them, ha ha). So much so, I did not do Cindy at all last year so the last time was in 2007. I believe my PR was 23 or 24 rounds, amt of asst on pull ups then is unknown. I will have to look it up later. I will want to make up Mary soon though because it is a favorite.

Tony the Chiro and to all the folks in Australia- God Bless you. Please take care and be safe.

squats are my weak point.

Hey all,

I have X-fitting for over 1 year and my times/reps are usually about the average of what's posted. My problem is with CINDY. I feel like I'm hitting it super hard and not breaking, but my PR is 16.6 rounds. I see that many are doing 20+ rounds. Whats the secret, if there is one?

I was thinking about trying to do pushups and squats right under the pull up bar to eliminate any excess time moving between "stations" that I set up in my home gym. Any other suggestions?

I am totally saving that video to watch everday before the gym...how motivating!! Keep up the great work everyone...enroute to globo now to hit up cindy!

My first post...new to cross fit..about 1 month....mary for me today 15 rounds....1 month ago I couldn't do a pull up...now I got through 5 sets unassisted....I'm hooked.

#375 Brendan,

I do my Cindy right at the pull up bar. I don't move anywhere. That's a big time saver right there.

Can you kip? Once I learned the kip it was on. Pullups take about 10 seconds max on Cindy for me now.

On my pushups I practically hyperventilate. I breathe so hard and heavy that I exhale spit on the floor. Exhale hard on the way down and inhale hard on the way up.

I try and explode at the top of my squats and find myself jumping off my heels occasionally. If I need a second to breathe I do it during squats.

Hope that helps Bro!

I pushed pretty hard. I'd say I gave a good 90-95% (I'm sick of all this 100% and 110% talk. 100% = death/hospital after completing the last rep).

I say ~95% because I think I could have got 19 rounds if I was offered a million dollars, but I think I would have died trying if had to get 20.

Cindy

28 Rounds.

I did Cindy last time, back in December - so I tried Mary this time.

Definitely tougher for me. HSPUs were challenging, even with legs on the wall - I started full ROM but was 90% ROM thru most of the workout. Maybe not quite 90% on the last set. Pistols were really hard from a balance perspective. So I did them 5-and-5, but I was using my hand on the wall to balance myself. Pull-ups took the longest - my first 2 sets were unbroken, but it was tough to string more than 5 or 6 together after that.

Results: 6 rounds, + 5 HSPUs + 10 pistols + 6 pull-ups

Terrible Day.

I felt good about my workout today until I read some of the other posts. Great job to those of you getting 20 and even 30 plus rounds of Cindy. To the rest of us, keep working hard we will get there some day!

I did Cindy with pull-ups on an assisted chin/dip machine (assistance level 13) got 10 rounds and 5 pull ups. This is a PR for me. Last time I got 9-2/3 rounds with a pull up assistance level of 15. Pull-Ups are the limiting factor for me in this and a lot of other WODs. I am trying to finish my garage gym so I have somewhere that I can practice and learn to do a kipping pull up.

Cindy:
5 Pullups - all jumping wih eccentric slow lowering (just had a total brain fart and forgot what that is called in proper English...)
10 Pushups - proper
15 Squats - proper

13 rounds in 20:01.

JroCk - just found out last week we are having a baby girl in July - nothing could be sweeter news, bro; when I saw her on the monitor, it was like a light switch got thrown in my head, and I sat down over the course of the week trying to really determine what is important to me and to my family's future.
End result: ponied up and signed up for the May Cert in Golden, CO.
Good luck with the scan and let us know what the future holds.

Did Cindy today and got 20 rounds, with 2 seconds to spare. At least I'm in the "Big Dawg" pack! Squat speed is what slowed me down and the fact I didn't have my workout partner, Brasscoe, to push me today. Awesome Video.

for #226 "Corey"

I have a somewhat funny you may want to relay to your wife.

Your comment was:
"My wife says I workout and do too many sports and we are going to go broke. I'd rather try to do too much fun stuff and go broke than not."

Shortly after my husband started doing CrossFit 3 years ago, we spent LOTS (!!) of money on equipment. Initially I was a bit disappointed because it meant I wouldn't be getting my living room furniture updated anytime soon. I figured I'd move the GHD & the Bench upstairs when we had company coming. Dynamx balls are pretty comfy to sit on too. :) Here we are years later and our investment in the equipment has been the best money spent in a long time. (I still don't have that new living room furniture either.)

We both are CrossFitters, we are finalizing CF affiliation and like you ... are happier spending lots of money and being able to do a lot fun stuff.

Keep at it & keep smiling!

Felt like being upside down today, so I opted for a first encounter with Mary and OLS for that matter. Is it bad that the majority of my female friends are XFit workouts?

11 rounds even and two hefty blisters under the callouses, so I'm sure it'll be all about pull ups this week.

30 mins of kipping work because it's the bane of my existence.
Time to run the dog in the sunshine -- this in between seasons BS is starting to get old. Winter or spring, not Sprinter please. Then some yoga to wind down the day.

Did Cindy. First time doing it. 10 rounds.

Any thoughts?

Hello everyone.
Names Tyler M. 16 years old as of Jan 30th.
Been working out for about 3 years and doing Crossfit for the last 5 weeks.
First time doing Cindy today....17 rounds even.
I'm pretty impressed and now confident in my self. Keep the awesome workouts coming guys!

I forgot to mention in my last post that the video from today is phenomenal! One of the best I have ever seen, great job putting it together

Koz 37, and son little koz age 9:
20 min. Cindy for 25 rounds...

WOD - Feeling Mary (1st ever) 8 full rounds [50y/m/11st/70"]

So maybe someone asked this already but I didn't feel like reading all the comments (which I guess is support of the nested comments feature). I've never tried Mary but have done Cindy. Should I try and improve my Cindy score or should I try a new WOD in Mary? Thoughts - Herm, Bingo, JPW, Apolloswabbie, anybody?

Comment #355 - Posted by: Ryan R. at February 9, 2009 11:54 AM

I tried to improve on "Cindy" 2 times before I ever attempted to do a 1-legged squat. If you can do 1-legged squats decently, you can try "Mary", but it won't be much of a WOD metcon wise if you cannot get the squats done quickly. If you are good at HSPU and 1-legged squats, give Mary a go.

If you still cannot decide, how about if you do a 20 minute AMRAP consisting of both Cindy AND Mary? Start off doing Mary, then once you reach 10 minutes, switch off to Cindy and try to match at least half of your Cindy PR.

M/32/192

As rx'd, Cindy...22 rounds + 5 pullups (new PR by 5 pullups)

Tried what Lube suggested - slow down the pace but take no rest in between rounds. So would do 5 rounds straight thru at about :40 per round, marking each on a piece of paper after. Then, after each 5 round set, I'd take 10-15 breaths and then start again. While the end result wasn't much different, I felt like I wasn't pushing as hard until very late in the 20 minutes. I think that if I keep up the pace from the first 10 rounds during the last 10 rounds, I can hit 24 rounds next time.

"Mary" (1st Time)

As rx'd: 8 rounds; 20:00 on the dot

Never broke a set, but the last couple rounds I could feel the range of motion on my PUs going down so I did 10 HSPUs on rounds 6, 7, 8 to try to make up for the short range of motion I was getting on my PUs.

Anthony (M/30/170)

10 minutes of "Cindy" = 17 rounds

Ten minutes of Cindy felt "okay" - but I'm not sure if I could have maintained that pace for 20 minutes. Which is unfortunate considering it's what I need for a PR (>33 rounds).

10 rounds + 5 jumping pullups/3 pushups

did kipping pus through round 5, then added jumps to the first and fourth of each, then did all jumping for 9 and 10

pushups still the slowest part, but an improvement nonetheless

Cindy, 19 rounds in 15 minutes.

Started off with 3x5 Back Squat, end set at 205lbs, as per CFSB.

M/23/153 GregAwu

Cindy as rx'd - 19 rounds -5 squats

I've only recently been introduced to CrossFit in the last few weeks. My first session was a Tabata run by the ROTC at my school. It destroyed me. Today I attempted Cindy, the first WoD I've tried on my own. I'm overweight, out of shape, and have a ruptured L5-S1. I had to switch to knee push ups about 5 minutes in and did weight assisted pull ups the whole time. At 20 minutes I could hardly move an inch but as I lay there panting I could say I did it. 11 rounds and I did it. CrossFit you rock.

Mary... 3 rounds. Thaumaturgy

AMRAP 12min
1 Pullup (or 3 jumping PU)
4 Pushups

Finished 15 rounds + 2 jumping PU with gas to spare. I was expecting the 12 minutes to take much longer, so I paced myself a bit more than necessary. Also tried out the CFWU for the first time, will be making it part of the routine.

Loving this.

#44 Jim,
my suggestion is to be able to tag comments ... would be great to search for comments on technique and exclude times and rants. Just my two cents as a programmer.
I'm grateful for crossfit ... think it helps have the edge.

Really wanted to break 33 today. but spent all morning snowboarding (8 tree runs and 3 bonzi runs) and I guess I really tired my legs out.

Only lost 1 callous today. Surprised my shoulders held up but, they feel good after Cindy. Icing my knee, it is a little sore and swollen.

Cindy my love, I will get 33 next time if I have to fly to sea level to do it.

Kippers for the first time today! I was really stoked about that, I figured that was the only way to get a good time, but then my arms and chest wanted to cramp toward the last sets of pushups. Figures.

Juuuuuulie! go girl. I am so proud of you. "has cross fit broken up marriages?" LOL

FitMom- yup you guessed it. Thanks for recognizing the effort. And though I get doubts, and I temporarily buy into the 'broken home' garbage that people spew, I know that Im a good mom.

Eric- ROFL. Im just starting to go out again, and if they don't workout, forget it. I had a date this weekend and when the dude swapped his mashed potatoes for a plain sweet tater, I internally fist pumped *yes* We waved away the bread basket. Dorks!

First time with Mary
6 pull ups short of 10 rounds

Great workout

37M/5'10"/168#

Warm-up: 100 SU + 50 DU; CFWU 3x13 (pull-ups & dips 3x5).

Mary as Rx: 10 rnds.

Cool-down: hamstrings stretching; foam roll.

Off PR by 1 rnd & 5 HSPU. Same as last time. Head-to-floor HSPU; strict pull-ups.

Old L-knee injury gave me a lot of pain w/pistols today. Not sure whether I should continue doing them in WODs.

Hurt Back from the catching my last jerk in a funky position yesterday. So I modified my Cindy a little.

14 Rounds:
Dead Hang Pull-Ups (kipping hurt) - after 3 rounds B assisted me.
Push-Ups ( really had to focus on staying in a total plank because any drop in my hip hurt)
Squats (My back didn't slow me down at all on these.)

Then Later On:

3 strict Muscle Ups. No kip at all and easy full lockout at the top. They're back! It must be all the dip work I've been doing and the Zone. I'm stoked.

Pistol Practice. They're good but tweak my back a little so I didn't do too many of them.

CFE WOD: Tabata Row:
For Calories: 6 Across the board. I've never been able to get more than that.

First time with Mary:

- HSPU partial ROM on 2" board
- 5 pistols left / 5 pistols right
- pullups on rings

Arthur:
7 rounds + 5 HSPU / 8 pistols

Julie:
7 rounds + 5 HSPU / 10 pistols / 5 PU's

18 rnds, 5 pu

Tried a different timing scheme, but it's not what I'm looking for. Best still seems to be to start a new round every 55s, as this is the only approach that's every gotten me past 20. I was getting rounds done in 35-40s through 10, then hit the pushup wall.

At first, I was held up by general lack of glycolyotic energy pathway fitness, and pullups. After getting more 'glycofit' and learning to kip, it was squats that slowed me. Now it is pushups. As you improve any element, it puts more pressure on the others since you return to them faster. Fascinating. Paul

19 rounds + 5 pullups

Pushups were what kept me from breaking 20. Still sore from 120 dips last week.

First time doing Mary for me and RJ, had another friend, Kraig crossfitting for the first time, we only let him do 5 rounds of Cindy. People in our gym were freaking out when we were doing the HSPU and one legged squats.

Julie #154

I know how you feel. When I nailed my first muscle up my wife couldn't have cared less. At first I tried to get her to do it with me but she wouldn't have anything to do with it.

After watching me stay with it for 2 1/2 years and getting sick of people asking me how I stayed in such great shape, she took the plunge.

She still won't let me coach her but she does work out utilizing crossfit methodology. She has now stayed with it for a year and loves to tell her friends about it.

She was talked into going to a big box the other day to do a workout with a friend. The minute she came home she started ragging on the instructor and the morons in the class, not to mention the idiots at the big box.

So, hopefully I'll be able to set up some coaching sessions for her with Jodie at Front range crossfit for her birthday.

We're proud of you, stick with it and your hubby may just come around.

This is HUGE to me and I just wanted to thank the whole crossfit community. I've been on it 1-1/2 years and could not do more than 2 pullups when I started. Now I'm in the best shape of my life due to hard work and an awesome program.

Keep all the good posts coming. They really help those of us trying to get to the next level.

17 rounds of cindy... couldn't make it to the gym so i did all of it outside, PU's on a tree branch, kinda sucked but it worked. i definitely could have done better at the gym i believe; i wasn't really pushing myself at all. heart rate got up but i was barely breathing hard at all. ready for tomorrows now!

Did not feel like doing this or anything else tonite. My warmup was putting the kids to bed and then reading a few comments...then go.
Glad I did it... I got 22 rnds.

Mary as Rx'd:
9 rounds + 5HSPU *3 round PR*
I think I could have gotten 10 but had to share the pull up bar area at one point which bummed me out because i was on a roll. HSPUs were easy, pistols i just need to speed up, and pull ups were only slowed by grip. All the little things add up, improve those and i'll have a smokin score. Next time Mary...oh yes...next time :)

#360 Corey Bibolet
I've gotten the "I want to look like you/What do you do??" comment as well. I explain the concepts of Crossfit and people tend to be unable to wrap their head around it. At least those that are my age anyway. They're too stuck on popular thought, Muscle&Fitness, split routine training styles and it's a sad thing to see. However i have had my successes as well thankfully!

#514 JroCk
Congrats on the BOY!! Truly a life changing event for you I'm sure. So now the question is...when does the training begin? ;) haha, future firebreather alert!

#564 Strong Lil Pony
Hahaha, it's funny how you can measure the success of a date by switching up mashed for plain baked. That is certainly a brownie point move on his part. Glad the date went well for ya! I haven't dated in FOREVER (1 year+). I just gave up lol. Way to get that PR today too! Makin me proud :)

Maybe could have gotten 19 if I had pushed too hard, but that's when I hurt myself.

Thank you to all of the trainers at this weekend's CrossFit Level 1 Cert at Guerilla Fitness. It was an absolutely incredible weekend. Pat and Chuck are two of the most polished presenters I have ever come across (and I see a lot of them in the corporate world). They were not only incredibly knowledgeable, but they were extraordinary communicators. EC, Dennis, Mike, Jenn and Joe were also great teachers/critics/motivators. Oh -- and monster CrossFitters.

As a new CrossFitter, I learned a lot and also got my butt kicked -- what more could you ask for. I needed a rest day after a weekend of: Tabata Squats resting at the bottom (11); Fran modified to 75# (6:47); Seagrams 7&7 (16); and a 500m row (1:38) in addition to hours of practicing SQ, FS, OHS, SP, PP, PJ, DL, SDHP, MBC, snatch, MU, GHD, C&J, etc.

Worth every penny and then some! You will see me at another cert in the very near future.

cindy - 27 rounds

felt pukie coming on round 25.

is there a 'fast' way to do squats? that's the only way i could ever improve on this workout, cause the pullups/pushups are fast and non-stop for me. any thoughts would be great.

Holy Crap.... I wish I had watched that video before I did the WOD..... THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME.I am training for SFAS and think that CrossFit is that only program that can get me anywhere close to where I need to be......
Again, thank you CrossFit Community. I have come leaps and bounds and even got a few people in the Big Box that I work out in to drink the Kool Aid. Hell one of them is going down to Jacksonville to try and qualify....... Cant say enough.... Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!

21:11 / 9 Rounds

First time doing this workout. The Rob Miller clip doing Mary at 7,000 feet (http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/CrossFit_MillerDoesMaryAt7000.wmv) demonstrated the kipping handstand pushup. The technique really works and is pretty easy to learn. The pistols were pretty awkward for me. I did them with no hands and no assistance but to a 10" plyometric box. Rounds 1-7 were completely unbroken but that changed in rounds 8 and 9. With a little more work on my handstand pushups and my one-legged squats I think I can get 10 rounds - my goal for the next time.

After recovering I worked on my overhead squats. I used increasing weight until my form began to fall apart. My shoulder flexibility is improving and my form is getting better, but I still need a lot of work on this skill. I will continue to work on the overhead squat until I master it.

18 rds.

First WOD from Jiao Zhou, Shandong Province, PRC. It looks like they designed most of these communist gray apartment complexes like jail cell blocks. I think the CCP knew that Crossfit was coming and prepared for my arrival. There are more pull-up bars and dip stations in this country per-capita than a FOB (ok well at least more than in a regular US city). Learn from their mistakes while identifying their strengths. Observe, acquire, adapt. That's why I'm here.

The air is a killer!!!! I performed AMRAP quite literally in the shadow of a coal power plant. Two words: neti pot. Not a drug, but I am hooked.

Loved this one.

BUT, then when I was stretching, I caught my finger on a burr of this metal molding at my gym, sliced my finger almost down to the bone. Had to walk to NYU emergency room and get 4 stitches. Looks like no pullups for a while.

9th round I finished 5 Hand stand push-ups and broke into squats, but wasn’t able to get it all in. The last set of hand stand push ups killed me. Im still tore up at the shoulders…but felt great. Always feels good when you do a WOD as Rxd.

Been doing Crossfit for a little under 3 months now. Cindy was one of the first workouts I attempted, so was glad to see her come up again to compare.

First time - 17 rounds, but was switching grips on the pull ups just to get them done and using a box to climb up to the bar by the end. Push ups were decent but not chest touching the ground.

This time - 19 rounds + 5 pull ups and 9 push ups. Oh so close to 20, but overall happy with how it went. No need for the box anymore and cranked out butterfly kip pull ups all the way through without needing to switch grips. Push ups were what did me in again, but these were all chest to the ground. Next time will be in the 20's while keeping full range of motion.

I have to thank the entire CrossFit Community, especially Coach Glassman.

Becoming a CrossFitter and opening an affiliate have been two of the most important accomplishments of my life!

CrossFit has done more than make me more physically fit; it has made me mentally and emotionally stronger. It has helped me to become the Father, Husband, Soldier, and Trainer that I have always hoped I could be.
CrossFit can truly change lives for the better.

I could never express with words how proud and humbled I am to be a member of this community.

Thank you all!
