finally, some leg strength!
The legs feed the wolf baby! I personally feel we should be doing leg stuff twice a week at least!

I'm doing front squats and yesterdays WOD tomorrow. One in the morning and the other in the afternoon... I think I can get 175 on the squats if I try really hard :)

Which one should I do first?!

One question, what's the difference between regular squats and front squats? Because if there's no difference in strength gaining, I think it's useless to do front squats. Atleast I think it's hard to put that kind of weight ontop of your front shoulders.

Anyone agree?

Nice! Love me some Front Squats!

I posted in yesterdays comments about what said so I wont get into it here but you need to look at what you are doing and your goals. Your philosophy is from bodybuilding. It makes no sense when trying to increase fitness. Look at any power lifting routine, how often do you train legs, ONCE a week. There is something to be said about that. Secondly, how long have you been doing crossfit? Your strength will increase without doing squats 2xweek. I will argue that if you do and you crossfit you will see diminished returns. Think about why you are doing crossfit.

I don't back squat anymore or front squat for that matter. I can still squat 405 at 185lbs. Why do I need to do more. Now my capacity to do work is much greater then it used to be.

I am not going to keep going. If you still feel you need to do legs 2x week, please read the literature about crossfit. Also, give it time to take affect. You wont be sorry.

Back squat is an unparalleled exercise for all round strength gains. But front squat is more functional: when you have to lift that boulder it's not going to be waiting for you in a rack. Plus, front squat is an important part of developing the clean. If you are having trouble with the weight you may need to work on your rack position. It's hard and take a while to develop the arm flexibility to get it right.

#4 Arnar

Do a front squat and you will know the difference between the two. Things like technique, balance, strength, core strength, flexibility are all factors. I know plenty of people that can back squat but can't front squat for nothing because of the things I mentioned above. Try it and see if you can tell the difference.

I know this is the wrong place to ask.... But can anyone explain how you get a level 3 instructor classification.... I never see Level 3 certs!!!!

Thank you Crossfit Gods for NO PULL-UPS. Hands f'd. AllisonNYC, you made a good point yesterday...

***FRAT***

Today was my last Workout before Right shoulder SLAP repair, tomorrow at 7:30 AM. CFWU x 3, then:

Back Squats

I'll update with surgery results and details as soon as I'm recovered enough to do so.

I must have the shortest arms in the world because i can't seem to get my upper arms parallel to the floor. Just practicing at home with an empty bar, had never done front squats before. Anyone here experience something similar?

do you increase the weight in every set? by how much? whats the rest time between sets? can someone tell me where I can find this info?!

Good luck tomorrow Herm!

thanks J-man, for the comments.
i always felt bodybuilders tended to neglect legs too. My focus has always been kickboxing and now I am dabbling in MMA, and my philosophy has always been to work the power from the legs and avoid getting top heavy.
I do see your point about overall fitness, and perhaps as you say, over time crossfit does benefit leg strength overall.
But after an entire week with practically zero leg work (aside from 400m sprints) one has to wonder.

i busted this one out a couple days ago.

#10 Oceanfire-

There is no longer a Level 3 certification given out within the CrossFit. Level 3 Certifications were given out under an older system of certification. They are still honored and respected as experienced trainers, but the current gold standard for certification is the Level 2 under the new and improved system of evaluation and training. The Level 2 is now given out to those who can pass the very stringent standards of the Level 2 Certifications that you find offered on the right side of the main page.

don't mean to jump on ian here.. but I remember vividly thinking my legs needed a break about a week ago.

look somwhere around 6/9 and count how many "leg days" we had in a row-- workouts that included exercises where my quads and hams were BEGGING for a break...

just saying.

Last time, the highest I got was 225. I bet I can beat that!

Herm, Hope you get better!

#16 ian

you're right, the past few WODs have been largely upper body focused. but this is unusual. be patient and you'll find plenty of 'leg stuff' coming down the pipeline. i used to be a 'top heavy' guy but i'm finally balancing out following the WODs.

when CFT comes around i'm surprised to see my squat strength grow even though i rarely do heavy squats. the accumulated effect of all the other various leg work.

now if we just threw some short sprints in the mix :-)

I've been doing CF and CF affiliate workouts for a couple months straight now. One thing that I've never figured out is a good warm up. Is there anything specific or should I just keep mixing it up depending on how I feel?

As RX'd- Didn't know figures before hand: Rarely keep track
175, 205, 225, 245, 255 (Last rep was 2/3 full sqt)

Ian-
just wondering if you used your legs on the wall balls and hang power snatch or the 5K for that matter
I think that legs have been hit in some form during the past week, maybe not in heavy back squats or hamstring curls or leg extensions, but we have definitely not neglected our legs in the last week.

Herm: My prayers are with you brother, speedy recovery :-)

See you soon...

indo chris, hell yeah, some of us were wondering about the short sprints like 40s and 100s and 200s the other day but nobody seemed to offer anything. I haven't seen a 200 yet even, but i haven't been around that long. Seems like decently functional exercises.... I suppose we can always do them on our own too, although I'm usually too blown or out of time and you never know what's coming tomorrow. I say throw some in the WODs. Also you could turn a 400 into 4 x 100 if you're concerned about what might come tomorrow.

Heal it up right. Doing it once.

Get ready to hold that front rack.

I called this WOD, sweet.

Herm brother recover fast...big hugs

Big hugs FRAT

Yesterday's WOD 7:52 the AM strenght WOD definetly slowed me my shoulders feels tired

yes. legs were a bit sore after wallball and hang power cleans..
and I did do my best 5k ever (21min) after only 1 total month of crossfit (two weeks with a two week break, right during the "leg week" you pointed out justaman) now 2 weeks on again.
I guess just this week felt a bit slack on leg strength/endurance. I am sure I will be sorry I said that soon enough...

#17 Dan D...

I'm one of those "older system" Level III CrossFit Instructors and all though I thank you for your generous statement about "still" being honored and respected as an experienced Instructor I challenge your statement about the new gold standard being the Level II Cert...

The New Level II Cert is (in it's own growth process) evolving. It is what CrossFit HQ had to do to protect the integrity of their Army of Instructors. I had the very rare chance to sit on-board with both Andy and Nicole and help evaluate/grade two Level II Cert processes last year and learned what the "new" process looks like.

All in all it is a necessary step for your own professional development, but it is not the end all be all by far...nor is the "Old" Level IV Coaches Process., the "Old" Level III Cert., the Barbell Cert, the O-Cert...catch my drift?

None of these are the Gold Standard...

The Gold Standard is what you do with these valuable learning lessons and how you choose to leverage this level of education on your own community...

I think that we can both agree that a sheet of paper on the wall is meaningless. What you do with it makes all the difference...

Stay the course...and when CFHQ re-designs the professional development for us "older" folks I expect to see you right by my side...

Sitting in the cardiac unit at a hospital in Seattle, I am eerily inspired by Sarah Connor to flip my bed over and knock out yesterday's WOD. Thoughts?

First ever time trying crossfit btw. I am a pt from cardiff wales (uk) and wanted to try something different. I am used to training hypertrophy bodybuilding but just isnt a challange, although i like the results and shape you get from it. Hard work for little results most of the time though. my aim is to stain cross fit every morning at 6.30 then do a hyp split 3 evening a week and runs on days off as im trainming for a half marathen. maby a little exessive but i love it so wat the hell puss i eat like a race horse.

Started steady on the front squats as i havent done them for ages mainly because the hard lol

Welcome to the community Chris B.

23/m/198

coach, do you have any workouts with hanging knee raises in them?

F0r # 3-
FS suck, they just do! AND for all the reasons that they do, they differ enough from BS to be valuable. They make you hold the weight in a funny way which prepares the wrists for Thrusters and a solid pushpress they prepare you for the push and jerk.

They also force you to squat in a more erect position which is valuable. Take it from me, erection is a thing of value.

60-65-70-75-80

good luck herm

More strength - anyone surprised?! Do your Crossfit Warm-up, some ramp up sets and hit your first triple with a solid but comfortable load. Work up from there.

There's not a load of video's on the correct execution of a front squat in Exercise and Demo's but here is a great one from John Gilson and the Again Faster crew:

http://www.againfaster.com/the-micd-instructor/2009/1/17/the-front-squat.html

Increased proficiency and capacity with the front squat will enhance your clean and thruster. Definitely worth the work.

Cheers, kempie

Yes, front squats will make your wrists sore if you do not use the "shoulder-rest" style. This is not a bad thing though, since it is increasing your ROM and flexibility of your wrists and forearms. This will ultimately help you with your cleans and heavy jerks. So no worries, just push through it even though it sucks.

This looks like a good WOD for building up the legs without going overboard on them. Two quick "newbie questions" if I could.

first, where can I find one or two good Crossfit-oriented warmups?

Second, can someone explain "tabata" as this is the first time I have heard of this concept?

Thanks for the help and info everyone. Work hard and have fun.

Tied a PR, probably will jump the weight up sooner next time this comes around. I really enjoy front squats. Practiced snatches at 95# after. I need to work technique on snatch.

We actually started cross fit a week ago exactly and we are addicted, me and my wife are definitly closer and I love how challenging and fun the WODs are. We are also starting to supplement the workouts with runs or other activities.

But it is true, a couple that workout together stay together!!!

Big day for all of us. We did a lot of playing around before and after the workout. First, my son got his first muscle-up at age 16. Then, I got my first one at age 50. We each were then able to get a couple more. Not to be outdone, Shelby got her first real hand stand push-ups, at age 16. She has only been crossfitting about a month.

Oh yes, we also did the WOD:

Needing help to a problem!!!
Even when I lift my elbows high I am finding it impossible to keep the bar in the proper receiving position, and i am holding the bar using hand /arm strength only approximately 1-2 inches from chest.(I have very large forarms and biceps)Which I think could be part of the problem and not flexibilty. This is preventing me from going to a maximum weight so that I can work my legs/core as I can not hold on to the bar after a certain weight approx 145kgs (320lbs) Any help welcome.

All squats had good depth, but I am really struggling keeping my form as the weight increases. Noticed this particularly on the last two sets; at the bottom of my squat, my elbows want to drop - almost like it is easier for me to get back up if they drop a little. Any ideas? Just more practice?

Right knee slightly sore afterwards. Monitor.

@#168 Kiubbo:

Once you start doing Crossfit for a little while, you can base it off the last time you did the 3x5 WOD. But if you have never done it, start out at 135 for a set of 3. Depending on your strength, increment by 10 or 20 pounds, and your body will let you know when you get to a weight it can do 3 times. Every set should be really challenging to get that 3rd rep. Treat every WOD as if it were your last!

Awesome family plan, man. Raised both my sons that way (though I was a knuckle dragging power lifter then)...both are fit nuts, mma, and firefighters now. One is career / one is paid call volunteer but, one chiefs interview away from a career job. They are the one's that introduced me to crossfit--onery little elfs. Great to see the family emphasis in this program.

I've been doing crossfit for about 6 weeks now and I love how
a) the workoust are varied
b) they don't take long to do
c) they make me do lifts I don't really like doing, or are good at (hspu, chinups...)
d) I get to do lots of Olympic lifts (they're so much fun)
e) I've built more muscle than I've had in a long time.
f) I've made great gains in my strength. I'm only 20 lbs off my all time power clean max. I truely think I'll surpass my former record of 175 lbs... at 40 years of age!!

I didn't feel like taking the weights off and reracking, then putting the weight back on, so I just did a set of ten deadlifts with it.

I am surprised by how much weaker I am in front squat than in back squat (315x5). I suppose, though, that I should be satisfied with a 40# increase in my P.R.

Oh, and you are welcome. It's my pleasure.

I tried to do front squats about 4 years ago, and the received bad instructions from the coach so never really figured it out. Watching the video someone linked above really worked wonders though, and I really enjoyed this WOD.

Focused on getting the form down, and no cage/bumpers...

m/48/177

Did heavy front squats yesterday:
Front Squats, 10" Ball, 5 reps, PVC/45/135/185/225/135/PVC

Worked primarily for form and depth. My D-Ball is about 13" in diameter; I have begun using a 10" ball instead. Getting WAY below parallel (about 15" for me). I have a tendency to lean forward; I need to work on keeping my back erect.

Worked on some different stuff today; started out with the following warm up:
Overhead Squats, PVC, 10" Ball, 10 reps, 2 sets
GHD Sit Ups, 10 reps, 2 sets
Back Extensions, 10 reps, 2 sets
Double Unders, 10 reps, 2 sets
Deadlifts, 135 lbs, 10 reps, 2 sets

Then I did the following strength work:
Shoulder presses, 5 reps, 45/95/115/132(PR)

Finally, I did the following workout (Grace) for time:
Clean & Jerk, 135 lbs, 30 reps
Total 4:31(PR)

My 5-rep shoulder presses have been stuck at 130 lbs for the past 2 months. Glad to have broken through this plateau. Did Grace with power cleans and push jerks. Broke up my work 10-5-5-5-5. Could cut some serious time if I were to get it down to 15-10-5. Would like to get my Grace time down below 4 minutes.

Mama did not train today. The kids are away at camp for the next two weeks. Brittany (f/11/65) is in Georgia at church camp; Luke (m/13/125) is at Ft. Pendleton in Virginia at US Naval Sea Cadets Basic Training. I hope my kids get some physical activity while they're away.

I felt a "pop" in my lower back and stopped right there. It felt like I cracked my knucke, but in my back. It didn't hurt, but when I racked the weight, I began to get tight real quick. I did warm up with sit ups, push ups, pull ups, air squats, and back extentions, but I think I was just too overdone from the kettlebells yesterday. I'm gonna have to wait and see how this plays out, pain-wise. I'm glad tomorrow is a rest day.
I was really feeling good about my form, and felt
strong. Was hoping for 225# today.

Did this at home and did better than last time.

1st off let me just say that this lift was totally an Eric Gohl motivated/inspired lift. If it wasn't for his numbers and the PBPB challenge then I probably wouldn't have tried as hard...

My old PR: 225

My Loads:

225(old pr)
245(PR)

at this point, I was getting nervous/afraid of the unknown so I called for a spotter that didn't know how to spot. Basically all he did was distracted me and this is what happened...

265
(failed on the 2nd rep... got locked out at the bottom)

At this point, all I was worried about was tying Eric Gohl's PR...

255(PR)

The last rep took forever to finish.
Once I matched his PR, I got a HUGE adrenaline rush!!! I felt like all eyes were on me, I was at the games, and if I could only get the 260 then I would win the games!!!

I slapped on the 2 1/2 pounds on each side. So much adrenaline rushing... I lifted up the bar like an olympic bodybuilder and the thing felt so lightweight... 1,2, the 3rd rep took forever...GOT IT!!!

260 (PR)

After that I was just so happy and laughing so much in the gym! People were looking at me in awe or inspired.

After that I did a 225lb just for fun but to also make up for the failed attempt.

I feel right now like this is one of the most greatest days of my life!

Beat my old PR by 35 lbs!!! CROSSFIT!!!

Also, a little "feel good" moment today. During the CFWU, I managed 3x10 deadhand pull-ups. The best part was that I felt I could keep going! When I started CF a month ago, I was doing 10,7,5. My hands still hate me. Hopefully this means I'm on my way to meat eating fire breathing-dom.

Been struggling with FSs for quite a while; the vids on againfaster.com really helped with form and techinque though, felt really good doing these today.

new PR met today, if my wrist would not have given out - I feel I definatly could have gotten more...my legs still had more to push

finished the night with 75 pull-ups
making up for Sunday's WOD
worked on dead-hangs along with some kipping- no band-

Thanks to the Aromas gang for helping with my form on these. They felt much better than before, and I set a new PR!

On the minute:

Complete 5 burpees and perform max rep 135 lbs thrusters on the minute.

The goal is to complete 100 total thrusters.

*At the beginning of every minute perform 5 burpees, for the rest of the minute perform as many thrusters as you can during that minute. At the beginning of the next minute perform 5 burpees and then max rep thrusters and so on until you reach 100 total thrusters.

Post the total number of minutes it took to reach 100 thrusters.

28:56 ---- 145 burpees. Did the first 50 thrusters with 135. the next 20 with 115 and the last 30 with 95.

Front squats felt good, and could probably start at a higher weight (like 175) and finish higher (like 205).

Pull-ups are feeling good, and at this point are mostly deadhang, with the occasional kip practice thrown in.

Still working on getting comfortable with the bar resting on ym front shoulders. That said, it's getting much easier with each successive attempt. Made sure I went low and drove up with my heels. Left leg pivoted and I pushed with the ball of my foot on the last set.

I hadn't done front squats in a looooooong time, so it was quite a wake-up when trying to keep form good. For some or other reason I was actually huffing and puffing after racking the bar, so I can only hope I went hard enough.

125-145-165-165(pr)-155-155

Only my 2nd time doing fs but I think I prefer them to back squats. Anyway, not much weight but I think I'm getting used to the balance..if I could just shift the bar more onto my shoulders and less on my wrist...I found I was focusing on the pressure on my wrists and less on form and ROM. Anyway, something to work on.

I stopped doing crossfit about a year ago, and today was my first time back at it. All considered, not bad I guess...

75-95-115-135-155

at least I still remmebered my form... driving through the heels and butt almost on the ground.

this whole workout is a pr for me, i've never really done a front squat workout before, usually stick with back squats. doing this much weight on a front squat smashed the hell out of my shoulders/delts. any suggestions to prevent in future? I tried using padding from two small gym towels.

Not bad. Tighten range of weight up. Good job keeping elbows up & maintaining lumbar curve. Kept core tight. Helped w/keeping weight back & staying on heels.
Rowed for 10 min afterwards. Didn't look up endurance, but had extra time.
