Crossfit Solano is training harder than ever!
Logizzle is training hard for the upcoming games, a silent assassin.
3-2-1 GO!!!!!!!!!
So excited for this WOD! Back squat is hands down one of my top 5 favorite lifts. Cannot wait!
GET SOME!
Woo Glad this doesn't have chest or abs, I still need some rest from wednesday!
Off to bed and an interview in the morning!
really nice workout..big hugs everyone have a great training day
Yessss new squat shoes just got here today. Blue patent leather!
DARNIT! Can't back squat.
3-2-1-find a sub!
Two 20# vests and a 95# dumbbell held in the right hand will have to do. Maybe it will be for reps. Let's see what happens.
Don't know who Dave Tate is, but if that's him in the pic, I want his job.
hey Herm try this....
7 rounds:
5 one handed burpees
10 one handed squat clen & jerk (55 dumbell)
20 walking lunges
hmmm dammit.. i trained on the rest day and now dont think ill have time to pull this off before work...
might have to double up tomorrow
Love back squats! Thinking about pairing this workout with the CF endurance workout. any thoughts??
Nice, just did this on Saturday.

15-12-9
135# thruster
45# PU
Time: 11:58, Should have gone faster.
Anyone else want to give out their "Heavy Fran" times?
Back Squat 3-3-3-3-3 reps i am a cross fit rookie how do i do this is it 5 sets of 3 reps and what weight do i use is it 70% oy my 1 rep max? help
Squats rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel lost in strenght these days because i skip the cft and some wods of singles.
Sometime i read a post from Herm "that kind of training makes a crossfiter strong"
Some crossfiters like my brother s´more and me are met-con adict and we fall in the mistake of skip strenght training. i think we start to understand!!!!!
Big hugs from Ecuador brothers in cf and as always SORRY ABOUT MY ENGLISH!!!!!!!!
flash im from down there. where do you train at?

Tomorrow is tabata for CFE. It's okay to warm-up with it. Won't take much out of you, especially if it's run, bike or row. Kinda different if you swim.

8:42, done on July 7th of last year.
i like what mr. tate says about passion....so true!
Way to go Coach. Dave is the band and chain guru. I am going to use chains on this squat workout.
Carlox
Big side hugs brother. The english is fine.
Dave Tate is on board? Thumbs up. The guy is a legend.
HEY!!!! good day to hit my met-con DOUBLE UNDERS/BURPEE YEI !!!!!!!!!!! =D that metcon DRAINS all the energy OFF my body but I LOVE IT!!
Tommy - I would say nearly 100%. was doing some DU's for warmup today and jarred it again, but still managed to squat ok. not completely pain free but damn close. How are things going with you?
where do i sign up to spot her next?
F/27/5'0"/108
Sweet, I was hoping it would be a heavy lift day. Plan on working the MU progressions after. Gotta get that first one soon, so I can stop subbing 30 MU's for time with ring pull ups and dips. It just takes way to damn long...
NICE!
I fished my wish with this workout.
I have a question about the zone diet. I weigh 170 at 69inches with an athletic build how many blocks is that. My buddy is 245 and 76 inches with moderate body fat mostly athletic build what is his. We are both avid crossfiters.
Seems like I could listen to Mr. Tate for hours. I like videos like this.
Todays WOD... GET SOME!
looking forward to this one . . . keep the excellent motivational pics coming :)
jordon,
zonediet.com, dr. sears official site. has good block calculator. i think you have to register to use it, but its free. good luck.
Fourth and last consecutive day of doubling up! Thank goodness! Kinda bummed it's heavy since i just did the CFT yesterday, but I'll do it!
awesome. deffinately an area i want to improve on. did a 4 mile run for pt this morning so it should be a good day.
Im starting to check the site for pix now more than the WODs..
KevinClark
I checked out the website at zone.com and It had me at 20. I think thats to high though
jordon
there are links to two different block calculators on the crossfitendurance.com website. they are in the margin on the left side.
Absolutely gorgeous! Looking forward to a heavy day =]
Absolutely gorgeous! I'm ready for a heavy lifting day =]

yes it is 5 sets of 3 reps.
Your working weight should be roughly 93% of your 1 rep max.
You can work it a number of ways. Two of them are;
1. Warm up then use the 5 sets to get up to your working weight. Eg if your working weight is 150 lbs you might do this after the warm up: 120-130-140-150-150 (all X3 of course)
2. Warm up and work up to your working weight and then do all 5 sets at your working weight.
Eg warmup and then do some squat warm up too (maybe 120-130-140) and then do 150-150-150-150-150.
Personally I prefer #2.
Use good form and weights you can manage. Check out the Rippetoe videos in the journal and the FAQ's.
Regards.
and welcome!
3-3-3-3-3 Back Squats
Warm-up throughly, you can use the CFWU or Burgener or Admundson, whatever, but make sure you don't jump right in without doing something.
Next, practice some back squats using the bar and gradually increasing weight for a few sets. You aren't looking for fatigue here just geting the movement pattern and correct ROM locked in.
Then it's time for your "work" sets. You are doing 5 seperate sets of 3 reps each. You will see different CF veterans using different techniques. Some will use it as a work-up, building or adding weight each of the 5 sets, maxing out on the last set.
Others will warm-up and then stay at the same weight that they can barely get the 3 reps on for all 5 sets.
Rest as much as needed to completely recover between sets (2-5 minutes).
Remember these aren't easy days. Like Castro said in one of his CF programming videos, if you have the energy after a heavy day to go right into another WOD, YOU DIDN'T GO HEAVY ENOUGH. These days are still max effort just taxing the body differently than met con days.
Hope this helps!

Well it's official I have the flu. Last nights WOD cough as many times as possible in 24 hours while maintaining a 101 degree fever . Time to beat 16 hrs unbroken . This sucks !!!!!!!! I miss my box already , this will set me back a week or more. Wifes the only one healthy , taking care of me and the boys (6&7 yr old) who also have the crud. God bless her!!
Why is there never a compare to link when we have heay lifting days? This would be very helpful
I am beyond excited/impressed that Dave Tate is going to be a contributor from now on. Awesome.
Rookie.
Good to hear about the knee mate.
Trying to sort out insurance it really is holding the whole process up.
really psyched for this one...the legs feed the wolf boys and girls
Dave Tate with CF ? Awesome !

Holy crap i love the back squat days. You ever get that sense of unbalanced after the first set? I tend to forget how to balance for some reason when i start the first set. haha mainly cause i do so many air squats that i forget that using weight on my back is a different mistress.
Anyway, we'll see how this goes. 300 i here i come bebe.

Not a good day. Warm up on the bike revealed sharp pain under the knee cap after 7 minutes. I did 15 min on the bike (the last 5 at about level 3) and then streached. Tomorrow the most that I plan to do is play golf, and drink beer. Rest day Sunday.

I was looking forward to the WOD today. Wasn't sure how much my heel would take in weight, but was planning on easing into it and getting a decent poundage on the bar.
But woke up sick. Will take an additional rest day and lay low today. Probably best for my foot anyway.
Hottest woman, ever, period. Wow. Are you guys sure CF is about functionality, because, damn.

Did back squats 2 days ago so went a bit easier here
265 x 2, 225 x 3, 225 x 3
Also today for the first time was able to kip and string 3 pullups together...with an extra swing in the middle of each rep. If I get rid of the extra swing I'll have it. So close!
Slight mod to fit my lifting program:
Back Squat
245# 5x5x5x5x5 legit @$$ to ankles all 5 sets
Shoulder Press
105# 5x5x5x5x5
Power Clean
145# 5x5x5x5x5
That's great Dave Tate is working with CF now, www.elitefts.com has provided tons of excellent informtion all free, similar to what CF has given us, so teaming up is just going to up the game even more.
Should be easy enough. BTW crossfit women are the hottest!

I whish a heavy squat day for you!!!!
Hello Everyone!!
It has been too long since my last post and now that I am moved and have an internet connection at hand, I will be more active!!
This weekend I am coming to New York City to take part one of a course about fulfilling my desires (www.mamagenas.com if you are interested). It would be a fabulous accompaniment to visit an affiliate provided you are close by. I am staying in the East Village (415 East, 9th Street). If you are close by, or close enough, please ring me at 416.985.5344. I am uncertain when I will have access to a computer over the weekend, but email is okay too and hopefully I will be able to check it.
Best to everyone - push hard, be proud of every moment and spread love to everyone....I will be in more often!!
LOVE JEN
PS For those who asked nutrition questions, I am playing "catch up" when I return on Tuesday.
that woman is georgeous, excellent posture too!

Cuss! Swear! Foul language! Blankety, blank, blank! Stupid freaking squat gremlins! Alas, I will forever be working around osteoarthritis. Well, it's either the arthritis or I am just mind-humping myself whenever I try to go over 260. At 265 - whether on a set of 3 or 5 - I constantly lean weight off my right hip/knee to the left and thus fail the lift because the weight starts moving forward and rolls me onto my toes. There is no sharp pain or no Rice Krispie crepitus that keeps me from either going into the full squat or lifting the load, but the persistant ache just seems to say, "yeah, right buddy, I don't think so".
260 - 3,3,3,3,3 (tried 265 twice - set 3 and 5 -, but form/technique still sacrificed on all six lifts).

I actually generally train at the Student Rec Center on the Campus of SIUC. I am a Student there and I work at the rec center so that just seems to work out the best. I have just recently heard about a crossfit gym in Makanda IL which is only about 10 minutes from my apartment have not checked it out yet however. What about you? Where do you train at?

Thanks again for the tip with the CFE thing.

Awesome workout today!
ALSO, Got my 51 year old dad into the gym today and starting crossfit!!!!! We did the CFWU and he did the WOD with a light weight bar. Excited that he is getting into it because he saw how excited I am about it.

Probable could have gone higher. CF trainer made me start out slow. Form was on the money today.
After that I did 800 meter farm walk 25lbs weight over head, 40 hip flexers, and 60 crunches.
F/38/140ish/5'4"
130-130-130-120-120 low bar back squat
Might as well have stayed at 130 bc it all felt the same! PR for weight. Hope my form was good-I tried.
I think BJ's quote should be revised to reflect that he is currently the UFC lightweight champion.

* felt strong on all sets and felt no strains or areas of concern with respect to injury, but am pretty sure my form left a lot to be desired. Weight is likely too light for my capability if my form was better.
* noticed that while using low bar stance that the bar-to-body link is quite solid and tenacious like a chinese finger trap and I'm not even sure how I would dump it if I needed to without just falling over. Anyone else experience this? Am I doing something wrong?

I decided to not do squats today b/c i have a 5mile race tomorrow for st pattys day and i want to try for a PR. I did some snatch work instead.
I followed a video of dutch that i found in the cf journal with him doing muscle snatches, snatch balances, and full snatch.
muscle snatch - 90x3 110x2
snatch balance - 135,155,165,170
squat snatch - 135,145,155,165,170f
i tried 170 four times and never got it. it was my first time of doing real full squat snatches. before i had always used terrible form to muscle the weight up. im sure my max load will increase from here.

Hi everyone just an FNG here,
First week doing crossfit one of the guys in the fire house convinced me it was a good idea.
Gota say I like what I see so far.
225-235-235-235-235(2). Quad starting talking on the last rep so I quit. After stretching and shaking out, it felt okay so I did 8 min. heavy Chelsea (25 lb. pack). Felt/feels a little sore.
HOWEVER, overall my squatability (yes, one word) has improved a lot, feeling confident and ready to tackle some real weight!
Warmup: 4 min. easy run (HR 126), BP 4x5 135-185-185-185; pullups, sets of 5 in between BP and squats during the WOD.

First day WODing with music, so I did the extra 500m row sprint as an experiment (as well as previous PR) 1:40 time. Got 1:37!
After working out with debell during last CFT, I decided to try to follow strength days properly.
235lb
245lb
255lb (failed at 3rd)
255lb (failed at 2nd)
250lb
Still pumped up from the music, so to expend the extra energy I did 3 rounds hang power snatch (45lb, 65lb, 85lb) x 5 and MUs x 3, untimed and not particularly intense.
Take care!
First, thanks to everyone who offered to send a wayward soldier callus shavers. Woah. Was not expecting THAT one.
Second:
WOD
Long-long warmup with an empty bar, 135's. Probably 6 sets or so of little weight. Nice long streches at the bottom. I'm experimenting with a longer, lighter warmup instead of a shorter, heavier build up.

2. 245
3. 255
4. 255
5. 185!
The last set was strange. I've been using the high-bar backsquat / olypmic squat for years, just because it's what I learned with and could never seem to find the "shelf" Coach Rip talks about. My mid back was paining me a little bit on the last heavy set. I dropped down to 185 and REALLY noticed the pain - and the pain made me shift the bar lower on my back and... and I think I got it! Go figure.

Hey everyone,
Good video on Dave Tate. That is what I love about Crossfit, taking in all one can from those who know an area of training well. Did anothe CFB WOD for Friday. 5 rounds of Ring Push ups and Ring Rows for max reps each round.
68/58 was my total for the WOD after a good Marine Corps PT session with my Marines and late training one of my students in some stick fighting.
Take Care,
Cody

Are there any good ideas on how to fix a knee that tracks inward on heavier squats? I am maxing out at 235, I know I have more but the form really starts to break down there. I feel the knee moving in @ weights above 210. It almost follows a circular path. I really want to get some good training on this but no Certs around and I'm nowhere close to an affiliate. Thanks for any help.

Hi All,
I am Brand new today ...I am trying to figure out how to do WODs. So far so good, thanks to all the blogs.-did not know there was CFWU. I must learn the acronyms & lingo too (saw info on this in FAQs . I'll get there....
I am recovering from a nerve damage injury (overtraining related)to the L5 Vert. been out of gym 5 months,& put on 20 pounds. I was told about CF from a clerk at a new gun range here in Flint, MI - he says they are trying to get a CF Gym in the building asap. SO, Here I am. And want to royally get back to kicking my butt( but now I must respect the nerve) so I'll be starting slow until I am secure in knowing I am ok to return fully (so soon.) I hate being conservative!But I gotta B smart right! ;-) nice to meet y'all & to be here!
DAY 1:
I did my WOD today with only 20lbs, 5 sets of 3. No warm up: I will see how I feel tomorrow- this will tell me alot- injury has been hell.

Still sort of spooked about form (leaning forward at the bottom of the squat) so stayed light and really concentrated. Moved back to the low-bar squat too, which helped.

First attempt at back squats since injuring my back over a year ago due to bad technique. Fells like my technique was good today and might have been able to hit 200# today. My only issue seems to be a lake of shoulder flexibility when handling the bar in a low bar squat. I tend to experience some pain in both shoulders but predominantly in my left. Anyone else feel this? Is this normal?
Thanks,
Drew

Tried for 20 at 205-got 16, then burned out/dropped the bar on the rack haha.
Hips felt good, so decided to do some moderate weight deads. Got a set of 20 with 275, so I was pretty happy about that.
The gym I had only a smith machine which I've never used before and realize that I don't like because of movement restriction.
