Love the early post. Hopefully I can get like 145 to 150 on this.

Good Luck Everyone!

cool i was expecting a weightlifting wod,though my prediction was the snatch,i'm sure it will come soon enough.

Day 18 post-op

10 AM

Shoulder rehab in accordance with Post #344, on my program journal, Thursday, 2/19/09. Notes:

Walk backs: Humeral abduction to the front is up to 110-120 degrees away from midline.

Started doing wall crawls in the power cages at FIT, and I can now hook the 3rd to the top rung with my finger. Anything past that is a bit of a dull pain, so I don't do it.

Scapula squeezes, forward to back rotations, and backward to forward are same as yesterday.

Bicep flex and extension: dull ache is getting less noticable. No pain during the wrist supination and pronation.

12 Noon: Physical Therapy

Did glenohumeral joint manipulation and active pushing/pulling against resistance on the scapula. This is to ensure continued joint strength and function in order to "have something to work with" when the tissues have healed to the point where full ROM can be worked to again, which is about the 6-8 week mark (4-6 weeks from now). Also did another round of shoulder rehab exercises. Ice 20 minutes.

Tomorrow: Looks like 1-armed push jerks for me. :)

Doing it right - healing it up ONCE!

Pull jerk not in the demos. Any input on how to do this? Newbie here.

Did Mary for the first time tonight after the front squats.

7 rounds plus 5 HSPUs and 10 pistols.

HSPUs were all head to the ground and pistols were legit. The last round of them were fast because I knew the time was running out - I wish I did them all that fast. They were easier that way.

I've been so tired and queasy the last few days and didn't want to work out. Brendan made me feel guilty for sleeping so much so I pushed through the workouts. Not my best performances but I'm glad I did them. :) Nap time..

JJ: Do you mean PUSH jerks?

these days scares me!!!!!! DAMN Jerk!!! max rep?!!!
i'm not so good with push jerk as i am with the push press i hope not get injured tomorrow and i'll hit my metcon!!!!!!!! again doubles/burpees love that metcon drain all my endurance out...

man,Herm your rehab looks more like a workout!i can see your determined to get back in there healed up properly and that your itchin to carry on wi the wod's subbed,one armed,you'll be back killin it in no time,good luck.

Whoa unexpected early WOD post. More shoulder intensive work, good thing we had that rest day in between! Feeling good after today :)

Yep. I am one of those slow people. I found it. Thanks yall.

For those of us just learning the movement, is it possible/advisable to use dumbbells for the push jerk?

Thanks so much for the early post!

RE: Push Jerk video I took from the FAQ:

Sage's form isn't so great. She isn't moving under the weight fast enough, and I don't like how she donkey kicks so high.

The reason why one would make a stomping noise is because during hip flexion (after full extension), the body is dropping so fast under the bar that the lower legs becomes weightless for a second, not because you wanna make a stomping noise.

I love push jerks!

I have been doing crossfit WOD's for a little over two weeks, I am hooked. I have tried several different work out programs and methods, but this whops me everytime. I am looking forward to todays WOD. I get so much stress relief from them.

Newbie here. Still don't understand what "1-1-1-1-1-1-1" reps means. Saw a description on the forum but still unclear.
Dana

Hi guys, I'm suffering from a "tennis elbow" for about three months...i took a month and a half to recover...and guess what? same pain again. Should i quit? should i reduce weight? any advice to recover? Please help me, i'm on my way to attempt the physical test of my local SWAT team in fall and i guess that the crossfit is the best way to achieve my goal ( sorry guys if I make mistakes writing, my first language is french)

If you have to run a mile from the bomb...the bomb suit was never going to work in the first place...

#14 ataraxite

In my opinion, push jerking with dumbbells may actually be harder, simply because you have to worry about 2 different weighted objects rather than one and i would imagine it would take more effort to stabilize the weight separately as well.
For learning purposes I'd just use the bar (or pvc if available) and work on the movement. And if you truly are just learning, i wouldn't recommend maxing out on these.
Just my thoughts!

If I was running from a bomb I'd probably ditch the suit after half a mile!

#18 "1-1-1-1-1-1-1" means, after a few warm-up sets, you build to find your (reasonable and with good form) 1rep maximum on push-jerk... with which you perform 7 sets of 1 with adequate rest. Good luck and have fun!

Early Post

Hoping for 205

What do people think about push jerk vs. split jerk? Which is more beneficial/functional?

I'm following Herm's lead and doing 1 arm dumbell push jerks.

I am not a good "Being on the shelf" person...so here goes my very tiny pity party..IT SUCKS! Chiropractor wants to send me for an MRI, so when the insurance red tape is cleared I'll get that done...with the help of Ativan of course so I don't lose my mind in that CAVE of a machine. Just hope it show an "overuse, this lady is a jacka$$ injury. "OK, done with the pity party.

C'mon everyone....go WICKED HARD tomorrow (and be safe doing it)!

as rx'd but with some caution.

70-70-70-70-70-70-70

herm - keep it up bro.

So a total 7 push jerks after a warm up and finding a weight I can handle? Going slow and careful here.

Anyone know where the photo was taken? Looks like my old stomping grounds in Rawah.

Dana Law- Yes, however they are broken into sets of 1, so after you warmup and get a good weight picked out (if you don't have a problem with 95lb thrusters or the 115lb push presses, 135 might be a good starting point as you play with it), anyway, get your weight, do one rep, put the bar down and rest. Do this until you have done 7 SETS of 1 REPETITION. Form and safety are the most important, but the idea here is to go heavy.

Your kidding me right-did you read the WOD-

Push Jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

Where does it say "pull jerk"

I've been doing Crossfit for a VERY long time and nothing iratates me more than seeing people ask things in here that my 4 year old daughter would ask-please TAKE your time and read through what Crossfit has online-not only here but in youtube and google-9 times out of 10 you can find your answer there

WWWWWWooooooWWWWWWWW

hehe - wuz just discussing this very lift with partner in crime t-thack. we decided to launch a serious effort to push up the numbers for all our overhead lifts; especially for him. he can clean over 200# but his max push jerk (170#) is only a little more than mine (165#).

A one mile bomb suit run is one of the most insane things I've ever heard of in my entire life. But then again, to be a bomber, you probably have pretty odd ideas of "fun".

#19 French - I'm not one for doctors, but after months of dealing with 'tennis elbow' myself I finally broke down and went and got it checked out in Jan. The doctor gave me one Cortisone shot, and it worked great.

What are the odds that #31 Seans is going to get an invite to be the next moderator?

Tommy at 5:50 PM

"If I was running from a bomb I'd probably ditch the suit after half a mile!"

I'm not bragging but I took a dump in Eagle County one time that you would have wanted the bomb suit and a hazmat suit for at least a mile.
Constantly varied and high intensity.
My bunk mates only wish they had crossfit (or a different partner)

Hopefully seans isn't irritated by this question...Can the bar be taken off a rack, or does it start on the floor? Any help greatly appreciated.

I think that should be the name of a WOD. "one mile bomb suit run" . That is awesome.

#38 JWA

From the rack is fine.

#19-Regarding tennis elbow...(I am a PT) that injury is a real pain in the rear to heal, its probably the one of the most difficult/irritating elbow injury to rehab. My advice is to let it heal, lay off any thing that involves wrist extension/flexion and forearm supination/pronation. I would also ice it regularly and work on stretching it (pull your hand down into wrist flexion). If you dont lay off you will keep enflaming the thing. Just my 2 cents.

haha bomb suit... love it

What is the official Crossfit "BOMB SUIT" sub ...anyone?

#37 Jakers

Disgusting yet awe inspiring..lol

wow Seans I guess you are God's gift to all that is Crossfit and, for that matter, exercise in general!?! Remember when you were a newbie? I bet you crapped your drawers when you saw what you had to do and probably struggled a bit as well. Give those who do not have your vast amounts of knowledge, experience and expertise a bit of leniency before jumping down their throats. Everyone starts somewhere Mr "LONG timer"

Whoever's in that pic is mad: as if pack runs and webbing runs aren't bad enough, he has to go and do it with a bomb suit on.

Happy Birthday Baby!!!

Seans.... total d$ck move there.

He stated he is a newbie. chill brah

Seans,

Right on bro. Maybe the Crossfit games will involve fighting stupid question asking/irrelevant commenting people to the death... I can dream right?

Ken C, you my friends are a Beast! Always impressed with your workout stats...

#31 Seans calm down everybody made mistakes..i'm not as newbly but i've been doing crossfit just 6 maeby 6 1/2 months we are so exited at the beggining that sometimes we read too fast....brother a newbly is always exited even me with 6 month i'm always exited with the wods...be more patience bro just be kind and if you have more time at crossfit teach him or her and encourage them...3-2-1 GO!!!!

Justin, Thank you for the clear description of 1-1-1-1-1-1-1. Now I know that I have to go for the weight. I appreciate the clear description.

Yes. As someone who needs to use a DB for unilateral Push Jerks, I will be doing something of that same nature, so as to not brace with my left arm.

TUESDAY 081118

Nothing irritates me more than people who get irritated by the mistakes of others and lets everybody know that he's irritated about it but can't spell the word irritate correctly to begin with.

The bomb suit run was done by a LT at FOB Echo, Iraq for charity (EOD Memorial) and also a Guinness World Record attempt.

The weight of the suit (about 90lbs) is outdone by the kevlar coverages ability to capture and retain body heat.

Hey anybody know where Jennifer (our resident nutritionist) is I haven't seen a post from her in a long time and her last few posts seemed like she was in a bad place - just concerned.

Good luck on this one everybody I am going for PR of 130!! wish me luck.

Lisa, I just e-mailed her.

Wow guys. I tuck my kids into bed before posting one night and people are angry about innocent questions. That is totally uncalled for.

1-1-1-1-1-1-1... The numbers are the number of reps in each set. Since there are 7 of them, that means 7 sets. Coach always writes it like this but sometimes people posting would write it 7x1. Like Justin wrote, you want each one to be a 1 rep max. Do a general warm-up first like the Crossfit Warmup (CFWU), the Greg A Warmup (GAWU) or the Burgener warmup (BWU). There is a description of the CFWU in the FAQ's and videos of the other two on Exercises & Demos. On Oly lifting days I usually do 2 sets of the CFWU followed by the BWU. Find something that works for you. Then warm up the movement. Start with a broomstick or the bar. When you are good and warm take a guess at your 1 rep max and try it. If you make it great! Add a little weight, rest as much as you need without cooling off and try again for set 2. 3-5 min works for most people. If you miss, it still counts as a set. Log a miss, take a little weight off, rest a few minutes and try the next set. Post your loads back here.

Push-jerk is similar to the push-press we did two days ago but there is an extra dip for the catch. Dip drive push dip catch stand. Yeah. Better watch the video and work on the timing.

Herm - thanks for keeping us updated.
Fit Mom - I just had an MRI a few months ago and they had little goggles with a tv screen and they played Law and Order for me. I barely even knew I was in the cave. Hopefully they'll have something like that for you. I had a little labral tear in my hip that wasn't big enough to cause the discomfort I was feeling. By the time they figured all that out I had rested for 2 months and it was healed.

Comment #19 - Posted by: 1*1*3*8*1 (28/5'7/155/quebec) I am not a trainer, or even all that educated, however, I had elbow pain for about 4 months, it was my right arm, lateral side where the radial bone meets the humorous. I tried acupuncture, elaborate stretching, alternating rest days, ice, Advil, some really neat smelling analgesic creams and a lot of whining. The cure I found was to go to a CrossFit affiliate and have them look at my form. My PRs went way up and my elbow pain is a memory. Elbow pain sux.

Badger as rx 38:02. Grip is destroyed, lol

Does it matter whether the bar starts in front of or behind the neck?? I saw both ways demoed in the videos. If so which is recommended? Thanks.

Go CrossFit Kids! Did anyone look at the vid? There's some great info there. Jeff knows what he's doing! Good job , Alyssa!

That pic is myself and my other two guys doing it just to do it one day out west. We each did the 1 mile course in it. Nick knows the place.

comment #47

d$ck move, interesting........I love it!!!!!!

comment #48

Possibly, i'm game

I usually do not do this lift during peak hours at my globo, but I feel like shaking it up a little. People at the globo do not like when you actually use the lifting cage for its intended purpose.
Warm up then 225 will be my first counted rep, shooting for 260+. Is it normal to fail at a lighter weight then shoot through it? I sometimes fail at 225 but then nail it then heavier weights with no issues.

Jim #71 try both then see how you do with each. The video is great for that, watching CFSF elites go heavy overhead is inspiring. I have tried both and behind the neck seems a little more solid when you hit bodyweight and higher, for me at least, everyone is a little different.

crossfit gurus:

do you, and if so when,advise your athletes to take break? Skip a WOD. Do you have a threshold of soreness in terms of quality or length of time that it persists when you would advise someone to miss a cycle of WOD's or period of days/weeks? Having played football in the Big Ten Conference and various other sports, I can appreciate ignoring pain during the season to continue working toward a goal/compete. Having coached sports at various levels, my litmus test was a performance/function limiting injury, at which point I would have someone sit out a drill or practice.

But as a crossfit athlete (since May 08) knowing no offseason and hoping to do this for many years, if not forever, I want to avoid injuries and train to be the best that I can. In recent weeks I have missed 4 of the last 5 WOD cycles as I have felt that I am getting tendonitis in the shoulders. I have been persistantly hitting PR's (probably 70% of the time...a lot of workouts are still first timers for me), even with my shoulders hurting. My squat clean jumped from 205 to 235 after missing two cycles in a row. I was shocked by the jump. I wondered as to whether I would have had as good a lift that day had I stuck to the plan and not missed any workouts.

Poor technique + poor shoulder flexibility = poor performance

I get irritated with people who get iritated with people who get irittated with other people. so, I guess I'm irrittated.

#52 Herm, my symptoms are an intense bruise type feeling on that "nub" where the clavicle ends and shoulder starts and also right in front of that "nub". It started to feel better (no pain) and that's when I attempted the WOD's last week with dips, pull ups, etc...the Snatch WOD from 2/21 is what "shelved me".

I am guessing it's some sort of tendonitis (SP) or subscapularis (SP?) tear.....

Any advice is welcome..have never had shoulder problems before.

#85 p.l.

overtraining (or actually underrecovery) is totally real. not suprising at all that you hit a pr after taking a cycle off. i don't know how old you are but 3 on 1 off is a large volume of work and more than a lot of people can handle with consistent intensity. it's too much for me really but i'm an old bastard. i go 5 days a week now to have more recovery time.

i experienced the feeling of overtraining about this time last year. you asked about indications of when to take a break. look for lack of motivation, performance decrease, depression, excessive soreness, fatigue (especially after the first round of a workout). one thing i noticed is that i would feel good going into a workout and then after the first round i was beat down and just trudging through instead of still being in attack mode.

if you feel this way take a couple of days or a cycle off. no big deal. then go hit a pr when you come back. hope that helps.

#85 - p. l.

I have occasional shoulder problems as well. My rotator cuff gets irritated because my shoulder is loose in the socket.

Determine if specific exercises cause more pain than others; the full effects of a workout may come after day 1 or 2.

For me, violent or quick overhead activities tend bring on the pain more than others. Anything where my upper arm is over parallel from the ground can do it. Examples include kipping pull-ups, throwing football or baseball for max speed or distance, really low dips. I can still do these, though I need to focus on the activity and take slower and more deliberate movements. In essence, I overcontrol/flex through these types of movements to keep my shoulder in the proper place.

I noticed the shoulder pain some back a few weeks ago, so I skipped a few WOD and went running instead.

I'd suggest taking a little time off, or at least time off any exercises that cause this pain. If you've had this for years and pratical workarounds don't help, you may have scar tissue in there that a doc would have to clean up.

Shoulder not able to handle jerks yet; did full ROM HSPUs from chairs instead. 7x1 with no shoulder pain. Followed with windmills, getups and wall slides to continue rehabbing the shoulder.

I have been Crossfiting on my own in a standard gym since last summer. Over the last week, I have had the great pleasure of working out at Harbor City Crossfit in Melbourne Florida. This box has hit the trifecta. The facility is first rate; the coaching by owner Mike Manning and his staff is top notch; and the sense of community and teamwork that they have developed there is inspiring.

My wife joined me for two workouts and she is thisclose to drinking the Crossfit Kool-Aid after a year of rolling her eyes whenever I babble on about Crossfit.

That you to everyone at Harbor City Crossfit!

p.l.

so i look back and realize your question had more to do with injury than overtraining. don't know how i got off on that tangent.

you played college football so you may have old injuries who knows. get it checked out. barring injury i would check to make sure you're doing ALL the shoulder work in crossfit (at least scaled). the programming seems very conscious of the shoulders and working them from different angles with different movements. i used to have left shoulder pain and i used to skip the hspu. when i started doing hspu, all the pain went away.

also be careful not to bench press too much. if you bench press more than you shoulder press you can cause instability in the shoulder. people that know more than me can tell you exactly why.

I have been doing CF for just over a year. The box that I was going to never did a max on the push jerk. In a wod that I made up I did a progression of Oly lifts of adding weight each round & I was able to jerk 105# for 10 reps in the last round. Not knowing what my max is could someone suggest a good starting point. Also how many rounds/reps would you suggest for the warm up & weight. Thanks.

Re: JJ #5, Sean #30 and Newbie issues...

A couple of years ago I started "pre-anwering" Newbie questions in January. I have been way over-lauded for that effort. The original intent was actually quite selfish, to head off the annoying repetitive questions that can be answered with a little effort and research so as to unclutter the Comments a bit. The secondary intent was to avoid the rain of disdain that befell the questioners, to encourage a little kindness and patience.

A suggestion, if I may. Simply point Newbies to JPW this month and to whoever has volunteered (yes, jRoCk, you did volunteer for March!), or if our volunteer hasn't weighed in yet (pre-bedtime potty duty, etc.) suggest that the Newbie have a little patience as help is on the way.

Regarding the "Pull Jerk" I did read JJ's question and had two thoughts: JJ is a troll, and if not, we are going to see some really fun responses in the AM. It appears that JJ is real (sorry Dude/Dudette!), and either no one noticed the opening, or Lynne has been on "cleaning duty."

So, in keeping with the long-established edgy spirit here, in case it comes up again (pun intended), the "Pull Jerk" is what you do while looking at all of the pretty pictures on T-Nation.

I thought EVERYONE knew that...

Day 19 post-op:

Upon waking, increased pain in the left shoulder. May have moved it wrong at night. My right shoulder is still sore from all of the activity with it in Washington State, so today I will be scaling back on the WOD and focus on technique.

6:30 AM

Shoulder rehab in accordance with Post #344 on my training journal, Thursday, 2/19/09. Notes:

Walk backs: Unchanged.

Wall crawls in the power cage: Unchanged.

Scapula squeezes, forward to back rotations, and backward to forward are same as yesterday.

Bicep flex and extension: dull ache is same. No pain during the wrist supination and pronation.

Ice 15 minutes.

So im still new to this but thought Id speek up for the newbies. Personally could give a crap how long someones been working out. If youve been working out for 30 years yay for you. You guys should be excited that new people are joining in and share your self proclaimed expertise. These people asking questions are just trying to do the shit right dont jump down their throats help them out or do nothing and let someone else help them out.

Just started CF 3 months ago some of my lifts are more than alittle shady so i have been just using a bar to get my form down but did want to loose a day because of it so i did last weeks WOD w/ sumo deadlifts and dips had to scale 65 lbs for 15 reps instead of 10 I finished at 10 mins better than last weeks 15 min time

#18 "tennis elbow" I had the same thing. Rested 1 -2 months. Now I do pull ups with training rings vs pullup bar. My grip rotates on pull up and no stress on elbow. Same for pushups on rings your grip may rotate to natural position. Thats the idea behind "perfect pushup" product created by navy seal who saw alot of injuries from large volume of pushup and pullup.

RE: the 3-D model of health and fitness...

With the following hypothetical scenario...

There are two virtually identical people, each have the same measurable work capacity over their entire lives. The only difference is that one of them has a severe pain in his stomach and a nasty headache his entire life. Now let's say that the stomach pain and headache don't affect his work capacity at all (Yes, I am making an assumption that it is indeed possible for the stomach pain and headache to have no side affects with respect to work capacity, but I figure it's a fair one).

Using the work capacity/lifespan model, would we really say that they are equally healthy?... I know who I'd rather be.

Any thoughts?

Lots of folks w/shoulder pain here.
Me, too. Years of playing competitive volleyball took its toll on my right shoulder, so I learned how to play ambidextrously. Now, both shoulders have sharp pain in the front of them.

Couldn't do kipping pullups for the longest time, then I moved my arms in so they are almost straight. It makes for a longer kipping motion, and it screws up my timing, but I can do them now and it doesn't kill the shoulders.
I have NO medical training, just trying things out on my own.
Don't know if this will help anyone else w/shoulder issues, but I hope it does.
Also, when doing ring or bar dips, I go thumbs-to-armpits. The increased ROM helps get rid of the pain, too.

I just have to remember not to wipe the sweat off my upper lip w/the front of my hand or thumb. STINKEE

Blessings!

Btw wanted to comment on a gentle in my gym the other day, who proceeded to correct my form on a push press. Where I appreciate his concern for other people in the gym, the poor man was sadly confused.

I dont like to make assumptions however this gentlemen, after he had talked to me, has never done a Olympic lift before nor has he seen or performed a push press. Where his understanding of a press was the traditional shoulder press or military press. He continually attempted to instruct me I was doing the press incorrectly because I was performing a press he has never seen before, a push pres.

At the end of my workout I asked the genltemen if he has done a push press before and if he could explain the difference between the two, being a push and shoulder press. His response was simple, shoulder was the only one he has ever heard of therefore a push press was incorrect. Now I decided that taking the high road here was much better response than informing him on incorrect he is, so I simple asked him to research a push press in comparison to a shoulder press.

I have yet to see the gentlemen since yesterday was an off day but I am curious if I will run into him and if I do, what he will have to say, if anything.

Bingo,

Well played.

here goes an inocent question??? what's easier push jerk or push press i'm asking because i'm kind of "strong" (i think) on the shoulder press and the push press but i SUCK big time at the push jerk....maeby the tecnique????

Comment #164 - Posted by: Cory

Cory, it's impossible to provide useful information to a question like that over a forum ... BUT, yes, the air squat should be mandatory for anyone with bad knees and in many cases can 'cure' that issue. BUT only if it is correctly addressed. Scaling is critical (check out the "CrossFit Grandma" aricle in the Journal for a glimpse of how it can be done). Doing the movement well, striving to approach biomechanical perfection, is important. I highly recommend you seek out the assistance of a CF Affiliate.

Best of luck to you on this important mission. Paul

Comment #153 - Posted by: steveOL at February 25, 2009 7:52 AM

Lots of "ifs" in that one...

If the head/stomach ache are caused by a different pathology (cancer, for example), then perhaps the model breaks down.

However, I think the key to the model is Coach's statement that in no cases has he observed in athletes following the CF exercise and Zone nutrition (I'm sure he has data to support, or he wouldn't make the statement) an increase in fitness in one area leading to a decrease in another area, whereas in cases where the various pathologies are handled medically, that is not the case. Said another way, increased work capacity and proper nutrition improve all studied indicators and correlates of health.

Anecdotally (and therefore only one data point), in ten months of CF, eight of Zone, my BP has gone from borderline hypertensive to normal (124/79 this morning), resting heart rate from 65 to 48, BF% from 20 to 12, etc. Also, to more directly address your headache point, I used to have to pop an Imitrex for migranes 2-3 times per week. I haven't had a headache for so long now that I'm hard put to remember where my remaining Imitrex is.

I do concede the point that all things being equal, I'd rather not have headaches or tummy aches either. But, since I started taking care of my fitness and nutrition, I haven't had either.

Of course, if you have a better model of health...

I started off in a hurry remembering that I could push press around my bodyweight. However, as I got to 175#, I wasn't happy as my form up until that point was pathetic. So after failing at 175#, I dropped back down to 135# and did the workout over. Even if I got the weight up, I didn't count the rep unless: 1. my arms locked out before the bar's downward momentum, so I wouldn't be push pressing at all. 2. I got my butt down, which obviously had to happen once it started getting heavy. This probably isn't as high as my push press max, but at least I feel confidence the form was somewhat good.

135-140-145-150-155-160-165

I got 170 twice, but they were pressed up part of the way, so I didn't count them.

Here is an article about the bomb suite run:

http://www.army.mil/-news/2009/02/11/16761-eod-member-sets-world-record-in-bomb-suit/

These guys are expected to work sometimes ten calls a day or more. They are expected to wear the bomb suite, approx 70 lbs, carry their tools, approx 50 lbs, in weather that can reach 120 degrees, 400 feet to their device alone. Under these conditions, they are expected to use their extensive training and experience to evaluate an IED, formulate a plan to deal with it, and all the while be aware of boobytraps and secondary devices. I cant think of a better PT program than Crossfit for either civilian or military bomb technicians.

Warm up with the 150 workout, easier, modified version of the 300. Did that in 3:52.

? about form for push jerk. Does it matter if you land split leg(i.e one leg forward and back) or double leg? or is it more preference. Watching the videos i see it done differently.

two-day newbie here....(i've read the faq's and wading through all the other information so please don't flame me)....So, according to the WOD, i go to the gym, lift the bar 7 times, and i'm done? I haven't been here long enough to see a full cycle of workouts but i assume it's a weekly cycle and there will be aerobic exercise too? thank you in advance for any comments...

I did correct my hand positioning, with wrist straight, helped tremendously. Didn't go up in weight until form was passable.

still learning this hard to commit to getting under the bar...

Started at 205-Made it through 225 with a couple of hitches. I have some questions though: I am making the switch to a pretty hardcore zone, IE weighing etc. This is a switch from a pretty hardcore Paleo- eat-whatever-I-want diet. I am also making the switch from lifting in the evenings to lifting in the morning. I am a college student, 6'0" 193 19. ~12-13 BF. I was up at 16 a couple of weeks ago, but my weights for this push jerk were much less than we did them last time. Is this cause for concern, or is it just because I am switching up both diet and time of workout? I also get between 7-9 hours of sleep each night plus a nap or two during the day. Usually in the mid to low end, but what can I say, I'm in college.

OK... props to whomever took this picture... because quite frankly, if I saw someone running with a bomb suit on... I'd be trying to outrun them.

:-)

Self preservation thing.

BTW...to my injured friends Herm, Rookie, Fitmom, Jakers and Pedro Barrera (you were sick guys so take it easy) be safe be carefull and recovery WELL

"I've been doing Crossfit for a VERY long time and nothing iratates me more than seeing people ask things in here that my 4 year old daughter would ask-please TAKE your time and read through what Crossfit has online-not only here but in youtube and google-9 times out of 10 you can find your answer there"

Mellow out on the 'roids. Obviously spelling is not your forte', maybe slowing down to read isn't his. None of us are too cool here, even if we have done crossfit for a century. It's all good.

today in my kines class a question stated something along the lines of

"what is one advantage of training with free weights"

(answer according to our book which is apparently reviewed by my professor and other "fitness gurus" so I guess that means i have to agree with everything they say, right?)

Choices:
a) it is much safer than working with machines
b) it is easier to load and unload weight
c) it allows for exercise that mimic real life movements
d) it is not as acceptable in the gym atmosphere.

ps I take this course at one of the largest universities in texas

comment #204 push jerk is not the same as the split, you actually do keep the feet together and push yourself under the bar. You see alot of Chinese Olympic lifters do it.

Comment #205 Yep, that's it , 7 sets of 1. Be thankful for these days but go max effort. If endurance is a need check out crossfitendurance.com. They follow they same 3 on 1 off schedule but out of since with this mainsite WOD. Definitely worth it!!!

Happy crossfitting!!!

I need to work on my form. The last couple reps were more push press than jerk.

How much more should someone be able to jerk vs just press or push press. 10, 15 lbs?

Almost stopped at 105 because that was shaky for me to keep upright without wobbling. The 110 was pretty ugly. This is a PR, only because it's like the second time I've done these for a max.

Also fit in 3x5 squats with this @110. Don't know when that got so heavy : (

125(PR on 11/18)-135-145-145-155(PR +30!)-165f-165f

I'm stoked and bummed all at once here. The improvement felt awesome, and I know I put it all out there, because when I tried to burn out with just the bar it felt like there had to weight 200 not 45 and I about collapsed. I got under 165 on the last lift, but I do these lifts off a regular bench, so when I dropped under the bar to catch it, I actually sat down on the bench. Frustration ensued, almost ruining the 155 beauty of a lift. On a brighter note, this means I'm dropping under the bar much more than before (I'm short as hell, the bench comes up to my knees). Yea, I'm going to run with that positivity!

Happy lifting!

Interestingly enough s'more as he was persistent during my workout, that was more or less what I convened as I moved between exercises...

silly old men, I think today's workout is gonna kick my ass as I am gonna really concentrate on form, not a lot of weight today just several rounds of just a stick for form! GET SOME haha

I did this this afternoon for the first time. Never done push jerk before. I had an issue with my right arm not locking right off. I wouldn't say it was a full "press" since my left arm was locked but I did have to lock it into place after the catch. Are there any suggestions or cues to get myself to lock both arms out right off? Thanks for the help.

Question to the community -

Anyone know who was the tallest Top 25 or 50th at the games this past year? I am 6'4 201 and have had a tough time finding fellow crossfitters with the same stats to compare results with. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

29/m/193

195-205-210-215-220-225f(small press)-225

All were split jerks - there is just something about the PJ that kills my knees. Coming off of five days without WOD due to fever and upper respiratory problems. Felt decent, and 225 is definitely an overhead PR.

OneFastBird21 i have no problems with bodybuilding buy why a body builder think that he is a MASTER on tecnique???? most of the time they only know shoulder press most of the time they don't have any idea with what's kipping, push press, push jerk, snatch, cleans, i think that we do what we most like crossfiters do crossfit bodybuilders do curls and those exercises...i don't hate them but would be great that they stick in their execises and leave us train in peace

#263 scott p:

I'm 6'4" just under 200. I post all my WOD stats here; however, I'm only about 4months in with CF, so you may be well ahead of me. But at least I'll make you look good!

Chaz,

thanks so much for the reply. I am just a little over a year into cf (but is at globo-gym so it is what it is - cant really drop weights but still go heavy.) i dont regularly follow the main site wod as i actually choose from about 5-10 different affiliates wods each day and pick the best/worst. might be a little different than the usual but i mt bike and trail run a bunch so i tend to cater to a bit more metcon like workouts, however i still doo all the oly lifts. i will try to be diligent in posting my wods each day as hopefully our results will push each other harder. thanks again.

#205 Tmorro - There is no routine per se. Its three days of workouts and one of rest. Sometimes they are max load and sometimes they are prescribed load / prescribed reps for time or prescribed load / prescribed time for reps. We don't separate lifting from cardio, its built in with the time component. The only thing resembling routine is that if we haven't done something in a while (weeks) its more likely to come up. There are so many different combos that when people guess it right, they get excited and post that fact. Hope that answers your question.

I use a bag of frozen peas. They work better then a bag of ice. :15 on :15 min off, x3, twice a day. Cold therapy really does speed up the healing process on sore body parts. I use it often on my shoulders. Depending on the pain level, taking time off helps to. Your tendons may need longer rest periods.

Also not a bad idea to have an expert evaluate your form when squatting. Last time my knees hurt was from doing down hill walking lunges with KB's. I wont be doing that again! Its possible you let your body move forward too far doing the front squats. If this was the case, maybe use a lighter weight, with strict form. Make sure your knees are not going out past your toes, your stance is good with toes pointed slightly outward, and you are pressing up from your heals.

Hope this helps a little, and you get well soon. My knees were fine after about a week of ice and rest. :)

Not having bumper plates or some where to dump the weight really hurt me on this one.

#336 - knees past the toes may be necessary depending on limb/bone lengths during a back squat (femur length to lower leg ratio is what matters I believe). During a front/overhead squat it is most likely going to happen for most people, while they keep their hips under them (bar over midfoot). The danger to your knees in squatting comes from the weight getting up on the toes/front of foot, or from knees caving inwards at the bottom of the squat (adductors).

Did 2 days of shoulders before this, so I decided to try one I liked a few weeks back.

5 rds for time:

30 GHD<- 2 rounds on GHD, rest were normal.
25 Back extension

12:31, beat my time from about a month ago by 1:34 and did an extra round on the GHD than last time.

Random tip mainly for those without bumpers or for doing multiple heavy jerk/push-press reps. When you bring the weight down, don't just stand there and let it crash into your shoulders.

Bring the weight down in a controlled manner, and stand up on your toes to meet the bar, then bring your feet flat and dip (as if you were dipping for a push-press/jerk) to cushion the weight. Practice doing this, it makes a huge difference in comfort. I don't have access to bumpers and learning this has helped me a ton.

There's a video on this technique somewhere on performance menu's website, can't locate it right now though.

Tomorrow is the day, I get to see what is going on with my left shoulder. Amazingly enough these didn't hurt. Tried some handstand practice and walking down the wall to an "L", when I shifted my weight forward my shoulder hurt like hell.

Cookie- girl good for you with the downgrade on diet soda. I took a very mellow approach last year to quitting diet soda, I stopped buying it for home. I would still drink it when I went out to eat. Eventually I cut down on that too. Its been at least 8-9 months and I dont even miss it. Every now and then I think I crave it and I have one and its disgusting. I think what I like is the carbonation. I drink flavored seltzer or sparkling mineral water. I dont get those artificially flavored waters, all chemicals.. yuck.

OT - When I saw the picture I thought of the old joke t-shirt. "I am a nuclear bomb technician. If you see me running, try to keep up." The second thought I had was "That would be a damn hard mile!"

200# (F) - I only got this about halfway up. I decided to push it. There were a few factors that contributed to my failure and they are connected. First, I tried to push the weight up as opposed to using the jump to get the bar to weightless so as to get under it. This was because I knew that this was going to be heavy (mind is everything). The most important thing is that I don't have bumper plates so I couldn't drop the weight once lifted. That messes with your head and I think in the long run will really hurt my weight possibilities. Ah well. You do what you can.

Eric- we talked about the mental aspect of lifting, for me its the cleans and how they limit me, just last week! Isn't it funny how your head can mess with you like that? 205 next time, bro.

Apparently I should have taken the bar from the rack. I was wondering why my weight was so low . I was hang cleaning into a full squat, then up in the rack position and then push jerk. According to Herm a semi-Grace. And I definitely did not rest long enough LOL. live and learn... Well at least I am slowly but surely diminishing my fear of cleaning.

Working on more zone recipes- need to tweak ingredients and amounts for stuffed portabella mushroom caps- using cottage cheese and spinach. Yum. I am wondering if the added dairy to my diet has anything to do with bloat and feeling less defined? Was paleo/type O diet (little to no dairy) for years..... zoning now, have dairy almost daily.

It's not just you my man, my push jerks are U-G-L-Y (especially during heavier days). They look much more like push presses gone awry. I'm almost positive I could hear Coach B yelling at me to drop under that damn bar lol.

Heck yes it's a mental game! I know for a fact I could have gotten that 205 but another part of my brain had other plans to foil such efforts.
Cleaning up the weight would be a whole new mental challenge though! Props to you for taking that on cuz that would suck lol. At least you had a partner in crime to gruel through it with you and make it more fun :)

Good Evening Everyone!

It feels good to be back - I love heavy days and after falling behind and losing my "umph," this was a great way to reunite with my character. Getting out of bed has been a challenge for the past week and after missing yoga last night (my favorite class) I knew I needed a swift kick in the pants. So, I set my alarm for early and wrote a note that said "JUST GO - NOW!" to the gym. Today's WOD was not about the weight, it was about following through on my commitment to myself. For years I had always gone to the gym first thing in the morning, but I seem to have lost parts of myself in the last few months and that was one of them. Slowly, I am regaining my focus and holding onto the parts I do like, the parts that make me a good person. So today I went....and I was all finished by 8am and the sun was shining and I walked out and said "Here I am, I did it!" I think the key is baby steps, to "take the pressure off" and just go one moment at a time....I am getting there.

Now, for the push-jerk, I maxed out at 50lb. I used a thick bar and the big grip was playing head games with me. I really enjoyed the article about "muddling through the middle." It is so true - we get so focused on the start and the finish ("just get through it") that we never really enjoy or look at what happens between. Again, this is similar in life. We call getting stuck in the beginning "procrastination" and stopping at the end, "finishing"....but what about the bumps along the way? When we miss the bus, when we spill spaghetti on the white table cloth, when we get a C when we were expecting a B, when our children come home drunk, when WE come home drunk, when we give into a craving, or when we fail on a lift...what do we call those?: frustration, stress, sadness, anger....all negative emotions. But why? Why are they negative? Getting stuck is half the fun! Think of how many times you got stuck trying to kip, or how akward your first date was with your now-husband or wife....all of those "sticky" spots made the finish line VICTORIOUS, rather than just an ending point. If you were 5 and you got stuck in the rain, you splashed in the puddles...you were ELATED!! Or, when there was too much snow to drive and go to school, it was the best day EVER! Those sticking points were viewed as an opportunity for adventure, to explore the present and not think at all about the future....it was an opportunity to just BE.

So, as I sit here and am stuck at this point in my life, I am now going to just enjoy it, to watch it, to live it in, and look for new and exciting ways out. After all, it is just a rain shower...this too, shall pass.

Good night, loves.

Please realize there's a whole lot of material on the website and a great deal of jargon that is not familiar to us. I read and re-read and learn as i go. to expect immersion after one day is not realistic. But there's a great desire to begin and not delay any further. Thus, the ignorant questions. Those who help are greatly appreciated. Just pointing to the spot is often good enough. Thank you.

#506 Tmorro, welcome to Crossfit! You've got the right idea, read all you can. Also make use of the message board, a lot of good anwsers there.

At 58 years old we are geezers here. That's no problem, start slow, modify the workouts to be challenging but within your abilities. Take time for recovery, this is more important the older we get. You'll find that you will progress at a rapid rate scaling the WODs. Good coaching is extremely helpful with the OLY lifts if they are not familiar. For ideas as to scaling click 'Start Here' on the left of the main page and then 'Brand X Scaling'.

Good luck and happy Crossfiting

205 was a PR. Actually, getting it up is the easy part... lowering it without an earth-shattering kaboom is the trick.

Those 135's almost felt like push presses, but there's no way they could have been. The 145 was a lot of weight for me. Could barely control it on the way down after failing to lift it up.

My first time doing push jerk. I think my form was good up to 65kg. But, I was at a globo with no bumpers so a bit scared to commit fully to the jerk at 70kg in fear of not being able to drop the weight. So the 70kg reps were more of a push press, but each rep did get a little better.

personal best is 165.

Matt - bodyweight 185, did 185 push jerk, failed at 195 and 190 (barely).

Barnette - got to 120

Brad - got 185, 190 or 195, almost got 200

All of us at 21fitness CrossFit Orange had difficulty getting under the weight today, and turning off the brain's voice saying "you want me to get UNDER THAT???"

First of all, This picture is priceless because It is an afghan national army engineer in the suit. And during a presentation to a bunch of high ranking officers, this ANA engr had to get in the bomb suit, run up to a IED and disarm it. and run back. My question is who released this photo to the world?

About the topic in fitness, yes we all know that fitness is really healthy to our body, but the most effective way to have a slim and healthy body is to drink water. Yes water is very important to our body right? because it flushes out the wastes from the body and moisturizes the skin. well now! an effective way to be fit is drinking water, if we are refering to water always remembre that because water is no plurarity, the Borba water has a supplement water provide antioxidant antiaging effects. Which is other well-known healthty drinks.
