Excellent. Going to hit it hard after a couple of days off. Thursday's WOD got me good. Needed an extra day to recover from that beast.

Bring it FRAT!

cool! strength day,just what we needed .

yes! great way to finish out my first month of training. Lets see how where i'm at and how far i have to go.

Now I need to see if I can break 1000#

Hey, I'm pretty new to Crossfit, and I had a question about this workout.

Should I do a warm up set or two before each max lift, or is the CFWU sufficient?

Thanks.

The training that our team received the last two days was amazing. The staff was great and it was a honor to receive training from Coach Glassman and his Staff. We are very grateful for the opportunity.

Comment #7 Check out the PDF on Crossfit Total , explains the warm up for Crossfit Total.

Brendan and I did FREE STANDING HAND STAND PUSH-UPS!

I'm so excited. His were a little better than mine but that's ok. He did two in a row and I'm roud of him.

I'm going to start working them all the time and maybe I'll be able to do a full workout with them. That would be sweet :)

...and remember kids...for the burpee clap over head and in the air

I am roud of Brendan as well...keep up the ood ork.

Proud! Very, very Proud. ;)

big shout-out to the ATL level 1 trainers. thanks guys. very informative. very fun. great weekend.

Go heavy FRAT!

Carlos, my heart goes out to you brother. I feel guilty being excited about the Games knowing that you will not be there.

I'm sorry I could not help you my friend, I will try to make it up to you one day.

~Never Quit!

wow! doesn't anyone watch these video's! no comments re Coach's lecture? what is wrong with you people :-) Man, that story was incredible, our parents truly have the opportunities to completely shape and mold our future. In that short exercise, Coach's dad lay the foundation for crossfit's birth in Coach Glassman's brain. its so fascinating to me. Who knows where we'd all be if Daddy Glassman hadn't given his son that simple exercise of measuring those nails! Coach it is so humbling to be exposed to your brilliance each and every day! Thank you. and thanks to Daddy Glassman! xo

Chris:

I would have had to call a "no rep" on most of those burpees.

Chest to deck, full hip extension at the top, jump, clap and let me see those ears!

Nice work bro, keep up the strong work :-)

Started crossfit this past December, busted hump and was really kicking it hard. Had an emergency appendectomy in the first week of March and had to take 6 weeks off of everything - lost 25 pounds and all the strength that came with it - and now I'm trying to find my way back. I was posting some solid times (i.e. a 21:19 filthy 50) until then and now I feel like I'm in near frozen syrup. I just can't seem to find any personal motivation or desire either. Anyone got some advise or gone through this before?

These guys crushed it. I have been doing squats since I was 14... I did the first correct squat in my life this weekend. I was very impressed with all of the trainers. The things these guys/gals do on their lunch break are painful to watch... I can't wait to have a lunch break like that! Thanks again for all of your help. I hope the people I train learn as much from me as I did from all of you. Boz is a beast!

Thanks Again!
Scott Williams

I question some of the peoples shoulder presses that might be push presses or push jerks. shoulder presses are with no leg and I wonder how some people can go so heavy on them sometimes. Just my 2 cents.

RE to Comment #16:

Jesse, I thought the speech was great and you can definitely sense a CF vibe with the Marines in attendance.

Just to clear something up (and why somebody didn't alert this fact to HQ CF beforehand, I have no idea) military personnel, especially high-ranking officers, cannot accept gifts of significant monetary value. In fact, I believe (and please somebody correct me if I'm wrong) military leadership can receive gifts under very strict circumstances, e.g. after giving a speech, performing a voluntary duty to the benefit of others, diplomatic protocol, etc. A military leader receiving tens of thousands of dollars in free exercise equipment at his house and then directing the base gym to find a place for it would've gotten many people in trouble/fired with plenty of black eyes to go around to the parties involved.

Kudos to Maj Gen Neller for clarifying this issue in a gentlemanly manner during the speech and preventing a fellow Marine officer of being wrongly accused, in front of a group of younger Marines, of being an adversary of CF.

Just remembering the good old days when people used to actually jump on burpees, because they were interested in improving their fitness, rather than gaming a workout. I understand the need for standards, and that's great for competition, but I haven't seen anyone jump on a burpee in a regular workout since the standard came out for last year's games. Most people aren't even getting triple extension anymore, which is the whole point if we're truly interested in improving performance.
The best part is, the only criticisms so far are that he didn't clap and you couldn't see his ears.

So if I understand this correctly, in a real competition using the Crossfit Total, only 3 attempts are allowed for the one-rep max following sufficient warmup?

Love the swimming element WOD from the Lalanne Fitness folks. I have often wondered how tough it would be to swim after KB swings or a bunch of pullups. Great idea.....I think we will try it.

ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR INSTRUCTION! I flew in from Long Beach, CA to attend the cert at the CO State Patrol. In a word: invaluable. In a few more: one of the best time investments of my life.

I've been Crossfitting for about 1 year, and I train with a fabulous, dedicated group at Crossfit360, but I am astounded at the degree to which material I thought I knew expanded and took on entirely new dimensions. Every instructor was down-to-earth, knowledgeable, informative and riveting.

Todd, Boz, Miranda and Speal -- our primary instructors -- were PHENOMENAL, being supported by a team of VERY enthusiastic, VERY WELL informed and VERY exacting trainers. I learned not only something new with each instructor, I learned something essential with each, highlighting nuances that corrected and improved my positioning (thus my results) for a multitude of movements. THIS WAS AN ESSENTIAL INVESTMENT that I would be happy to make again and that I recommend without reservation to others. Thanks again, Todd, for setting and raising the bar at our cert, and for leading a truly spectacular team.

Crashed the Level 1 Certification at Crossfit ATL for the lunchtime trainer WOD!! We did "Cleaning Cindy" basically a Cindy with heavy cleans instead of air squats. Guys used 185, Shana Alverson went 125, and I used 153 and did power cleans since I'm still rehabbing my knee where I fractured my tibia in April.
It was a team WOD-me and Shana A vs. Chuck Carswell and Andy S. AMRAP 15 minutes of:
Round 1=5 pullups 10 pushups 1 clean
Round 2=5 pullups 10 pushups 2 cleans
and so on....
Shana and Chuck started-they both finished with 7 full rounds. I got 6 full+pullups+pushups+no cleans. Andy got 6 full+pullups+pushups+3 cleans. Beat us by 3 reps! Thats okay though, we went chest to bar on our pullups! :^)
Trying to get Heidi at CFATL who filmed and took pics to post a link, we'll see what she puts up here soon~

I want to say how great the certification at Atlanta has been. It help me a lot to fully understand the crossfit methodology and how to properly train other clients. I'm from Puerto Rico and I traveled to take this certification and it was worth it. If there is any other who has been certified from PR please shoot me an email to bryanbodden@gmail.com . It can be in spanish as well.

The Level 1 Cert at CO State Patrol was great. Thank you to all the trainers! The information was very well presented and organized.

Holy cow, I was just thinking about this workout not 20 minutes ago, come on to check the website, and voila!

DT,

Just to be clear and to clear your confusion, neither me, nor staff, nor CF Inc, nor Operation Phoenix has ever offered a soldier or soldiers anywhere gifts of equipment. Our donations and offers have only been to the organizational units and never to individual or individuals. If you need further explanation I'll bring in the lawyers to help. You use to be an asset to this community. What happened? Are things going poorly for you at Bolling? Increasingly you can be counted on to bring muddled thinking that sums to absurd AND insulting conclusions.

RE to Comment #30:

Coach, I apologize for misinterpreting your words. For some reason and maybe it's my computer, the volume dropped off substantially after the third video...I had all of my volume settings turned up while on headphones and I still couldn't make out most of anything...I translated the words as equipment was shipped and wasn't used for an unknown reason. Whatever it was, the general felt compelled enough to stand up and address it. I just wanted to make sure that people know before they begin pummeling base/post fitness centers with petitions or car washes to buy CF gear, when it comes to government business, certain protocol needs to be followed, regardless of intentions, and now I'm sure it was in this case.

Proper protocol has resulted in CF boxes being established in numerous military gyms; red tape isn't ALL bad.

hey guys, just a ? I was hoping to get some feedback on, I was wondering everyone's take on creatine supplements and nitric oxide, specifically black powder, thanks.

CFT hurt!

Press: 155 (PR)
Squat: 365 full (2nd rep)... 3rd rep 385 did't get full (PR 380)
DL: 405 (matched PR)

Total:925

What's the best way to work on the first 1/3 of the press? Once the bar's at my nose it goes up easy, before that.... ugly!

Thanks for your words Playoff Beard...big hugs for the FRAT and of course all the crossfit community

Great job Chris! I know coming out of cold water and going into the KB swings and burpees are crazy hard! So proud of you!

What perfect timing! I just finished a 12 week Rippetoe/Kilgore strength building program. Regardless of the WOD today I told my self I was going to do the CFT to check my gains. I already know my PR for shoulder press will be beat.

That swim workout looked insane!

250m for 3 rounds is pretty sick...or is that just me???

I want to do this workout tomorrow afternoon on base.

Hopefully they will let me bring my KB in there.

I will say this...a burpee dosen't have to have a clap at the end to count...unless it is specified for specific events...ie crossfit games or qualifiers.

That is like saying all pullups have to be c2b.

Just my 2 cents.

The personnel of LAPD SWAT are grateful for the training we received this weekend. Our high expectations for the course were far exceeded. The presentations by Coach Glassman were captivating and the all-star cast of instructors was peerless. The implementation of these training and diet principles will have a life-changing effect on members of our platoon. The overall fitness, longevity, and effectiveness of our personnel have been dramatically enhanced. We look forward to our future interaction. We are humbled and indebted.

Thank you. I drank the Crossfit Koolaid. Good stuff!

@#18

I've had to make a few comebacks too. It's really frustrating going to the gym and getting worn out where previously you'd just be warming up, or failing on a weight that you used to lift without thinking. You need to put things in perspective though; don't be so hard on yourself - you're coming off a major injury and it will take time to get back to where you were. However, you can get back to that level and exceed it. Because you've been there, you're in a better position than someone who is just starting new. There might be a few weeks of being a zombie and dragging yourself to the gym and not enjoying it, but once you do that you're going to start seeing improvements and you're going to start wanting to go again. Use this time to work on the small things that you'd ignore in pursuit of faster times...

The most important thing to do is stick with it - once you start to put on that muscle again you'll be glad you did.

Just wanted to say a VERY BIG Thanks to all the HQ trainers's and Crossfit Ramstein for putting up a great cert this weekend. Got a whole bunch of information to work with. I improved my technique on a lot of things and was able to do my first mu. Now I just have to work on that snatch. By the way, my legs are still sore....

If anyone hasn't downloaded your FREE crossfit journal on the 'Total' get it now before you do the workout.

http://library.crossfit.com/free/pdf/52-2006_CFTotal.pdf

I was apprehensive at first.....shame on me! What an excellent group of ladies and gentlemen, who presented a lifestyle change and means of total fitness that can only enhance the performance of my job. Much thanks to a caring and motivated staff of instructors. I hope you realize you have made a huge difference with informative and eye-opening presentations. A mere "thanks" seems not enough in expressing my gratitude for you hard work.

I like how coach spanked you on your pee pee for trying to rain on the parade and you came up with some ridiculous sounding explanation about volume and headphones and not being able to translate words. If you didn't have the whole story to begin with, based on your excuses, why were you so quick to jump all over it? It seems sometimes like people are so quick to want to pick away at great things that are being done just to try and get their voice out there in order to feel better about themselves. It's easy to sound smart when talking to the masses but it's not so easy when someone like Coach has to step in and take care of business. Enough already.

Coach Greg Glassman,

I cannot thank you and your outstanding staff enough for your expert advice on fitness during this weekend’s CrossFit Level 1 Certification. Please know that sharing your training and experience with our team will help propel us towards our ultimate fitness potential while simultaneously making us even safer.

Please thank your trainers, Josh Everett, Stephan Rochet, Rachel Medina, Pat Barber and Jolie Gentry, for their dedication and professionalism. They are the best in the business.

Godspeed my friend!

The cert I attended this weekend was wonderful. The instructors were complete professionals and unique in their own teaching styles. I like that they catered to all learning styles and utilized humor to grab folk’s attention. All of the instructors kept us captivated about the info being presented. Thank you to Crossfit Ramstein and Marco for hosting the whole thing. Lastly, thank you to the instructors for their time and all that they offered. I’ll truly appreciate it.

As RX'd, and all lifts would have counted in competition:

Back Squat: 295

CFT= 815

Many questions, based on my results posted to forum. Would appreciate any input from those more experienced than I!

Perhaps already posted, as it is nearly a week old. (If so, sorry for the redundant post.)

But, the article is still in NYT top-10 most emailed articles:

http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/24/can-you-get-fit-in-six-minutes-a-week/?em

OK, so I judt read the CFT pdf and it mentioned about the use of belts in raw powerlifting meets. Are belts permitted for the CFT? The article didn't specify & now I'm curious.

The Ramsetin cert last weekend was great! Me and my brother really had a blast! (and a walking disability from the b2b tabatas :P )

Thumbs up for the trainers and the people that made this cert possible! (especially for the wonderfull and tasty food we had for lunch :) )

We've been crossfitting for almost 2 years now in our parents backyard and this was the first time we've met other people that are just as crazy about it as we are.
So thanks to everyone that attended the cert. for giving us the feeling to be part of the community.

Made a little typo in the previous post: I meant Ramstein cert. :)

DT,
I was there for this what the general was explaining was why the Staff Level Officers were dropping the ball and how his promised to fix it because it was what his marines wanted ...Basically he promised his marines they would get the gear they need to train how they want to train .. I.E. CrossFit. To be clear I am not trying to chastise you in any way only helping to clear up what was said. The Marine Corps has not been the ones who have resisted the implementation of CrossFit. Strength and Conditioning belongs to MCCS and they stand to lose an absurd amount of money if the Marine Corps officially adopts CrossFit.

Ahhhhh I really wanna do this. Tommorrow haas to be my rest day....Bummerz

Huge thanks to the Trainers at the Ramstein Cert! I had been doing Crossfit for 1 year and never realized how off some of my form is! But now I know and got something to strive for. A great group of motivated trainers made for an exceptional weekend. I only wish that we could have had more time! It went by way too fast.

Now we get a chance to see how all the strength work is working.

Best guide for today's WOD is to read the article linked under CFT. If you need to use a belt for your heavy sets either as a precaution or to shore up an injury then do so.

Cheers, kempie

Thank you for the excellent training we received this weekend. I am actually looking forward to doing the front squat and deadlifts. Thanks again for the great instruction and the trainers were could not have been any better.

I also bought some omega-3 fish oil to help with my progress.

I am extremely ambitious about bringing the awareness of CrossFit to Germany by starting an affiliate and I appreciate all the info gathered to achieve this goal.

Good luck Brian B. at the Games!

RE to Comment #43:

Josh, in a growing movement like CrossFit, mindlessly adversarial hangers-on are a part of the problem and not the solution. So, go on with your bad blessed self, repeatedly telling yourself that you're a winner while scrawling "I (heart) Coach" all around your latest WoD entry in your workout log. It's easier that way.

RE to Comment #52:

Jamie, I appreciate the input; I listened to the MP3 file of the speech (thanks, Tony) and the part referring to the gear can be taken in more ways than one. I think the bottom line is that the Corps can buy the equipment, that's no biggie (except for money, which everybody seems to be short of but can usually be scraped up if need be) because CF doesn't use CF-specific gear; bumper plates, KBs, and Dynamax balls can be used in other fitness regimens, too. What I've seen happen is "box" equipment is purchased and situated in a gym, and local civilian instructors are contracted to run classes, just like with step, spin, and various other exercise classes. However...a service branch adopting CF at the cost of all other fitness philosophies won't happen...and CF isn't known for allowing peaceful co-existence with anything but CF. In my line of work, that mindset is known as a "LIMFAC," which is a limiting factor affecting the probability of a unit to accomplish a mission.

Funny thing, though, is the zeal for attending CF classes on a military installation is directly proportional to the Big Boss' enthusiasm for CF, especially if they or the spouse (a whole 'nuther chain of command with career implications, but I digress) attend CF classes...you know, it has something to do with loyalty in supporting the person who punches your career ticket. Once he/she departs and another HMFIC takes over, attendance drops off dramatically while people scramble to figure out how to get face time; if CF isn't "it," expect to see Dynamax balls, KBs, PVC pipes, and C2 rowers collecting dust, which doesn't send a positive message about CF to military resource managers who are under constant pressure to get rid of unused material to save money wherever possible. Drew Thompson said something similar to this in a CFR interview, and he was absolutely correct: Nothing will kill CF in the military faster than making it mandatory.

All I'm being is honest, that's all. Feel free to contact me VIA email if you'd like to chat more about this topic from an Office of Secretary of Defense viewpoint, and not necessarily a service-branch-specific one.

great effort on that workout. burpees and swimming would equal drowning for me i think.

Thank you to Crossfit Ramstein, Wally, Marco, and all who organized the Level I cert. It was a much needed and appreciated experience for me! Thank you to the trainers, your professionalism and enthusiasm was awesome. You are all living examples of what cfit results really are. I have much more knowledge and depth of understanding behind all the little details that count. (I'll be working on my squat . . . after I recover from that Tabata madness--but I am sore in the right places!! Yes!)

33:58

For my 66th birthday and my 1 year aniversary on Crossfit I decided to do the Sexy 66

66 box jumps
66 jumping pull ups
66 35# kettlebell swings
66 walking lunges
66 knees to elbows
66 55# push press
66 back ext
55 12# wall ball
66 burpees
66 jump rope [can't do a double under for the life of me]

I mainly wanted to thank Mike and Brian at Crossfit Modesto CA for their excellent instruction over the past year. You guys are awsome. I have been injury free and the progress has been amazing. Crossfit has changed every aspect of my life. I am in the best shape ever.
And thanks coach for giving it to the world.

It's not about being a mindlessly adversarial hanger-on. It's about knowing the whole story and all the facts before I'm willing to jump in right away and start picking away at an issue, which I am more than willing to do with by bad blessed self. But let's be willing at least to give Coach and Crossfit the benefit of the doubt, considering all that they have accomplished and offered. It's okay to be loyal without being a mindless follower. If you are knowledgable about what's going on, (meaning headphones aren't broken, volume works, dog didn't eat your homework...)you still disagree, and you have a solution to offer, by all means lets here it.
It's easy to just lump me in with the "Bowing Down to the Coach Shrine" Crew because I'm asking you to at least be fair, but I don't think that's too much to ask.
On a more agreeable note, however, I couldn't agree more with your point that nothing will kill CF faster in the military than making it mandatory. From a boots on the ground soldier's point of view, I'll do what the Army tells me to do but I usually won't like it, mostly because the Army is telling me to do it.

Back Squat - 240 easy

I was all excited because I did the math wrong and thought I finally got up to 600. Next time! I'll get a 245 or 250 squat and 100 on my press.. I hope

Thanks for the excellent seminar this weekend. I was deeply impressed by the ability of you and your staff to deliver one seamless experience from start to finish. Having attended countless seminars and professional conferences, the military-style planning and passionate delivery of your seminar was bar none. And you made it seem effortless to boot.

The value for us was immense, on various levels: Content, Delivery, being coached, watching your coaching, networking. My associate and I also liked how you transport the CrossFit spirit of virtuosity by example. Your coaching staff was most excellent.

Good luck at the games to all the trainers who are attending! :-)

Way off my best Total. I haven't done the Total since forever. I forgot how grueling it is.

I hate working out in the morning. No fuel in the body, and no one to spot me on the squat. On the flip side, I had the whole gym to myself. That doesn't happen too often anymore. I locked the doors, cranked the stereo, and did the Total while I vacuumed and mopped the floors. What a perfect morning!

Have a great day everyone!

Comment #120 concerns the Ramstein seminar. Also many thanks to the great staff from CrossFit Ramstein - the organization & food was top-notch!

The Level I cert at the Colorado Sate Patrol Academy was AWESOME! Todd and the gang were on the money! This guy is very personanable, easy to talk with and very knowledgeable about fitness. The trainers Miranda, Chris, Matt, Joe, Craig, Boz, John, and Eric really kicked ass! If anyone is lucky enough to train with any of these people you are truly blessed because they are good trainers, but they are great people! I had a fantastic time...I flew in from Chicago and worked out at 5,600 feet for the first time and really felt it. Thank you to Todd and the whole gang. You guys made it a great weekend! Train Hard!

I just finished the Level 1 certification in Golden, CO. This was one of the most humbling experiences of my life. I thought I was an athlete and knew what I was doing in my workouts. I quickly found that I have a lot to learn. The instructors were great and the knowledge I gained in 2 days with them far surpassed what I got from my "Nationally Recognized" training certification. I would recommend everyone attend at least one Level 1 cert.

RE to Comment 110:

Also, Josh, "elite fitness" doesn't apply to the physical conditioning needs of 99% of the military, who aren't special ops warriors. Do I think teaching the nine functional movements with a PVC can help military personnel work day to day with a decreased chance of injury? Absolutely, without a doubt in my mind. Do I think forcing people to try to swing a 55-lb KB above their heads or perform thrusters with 95-lb barbells to make them "combat ready" (whatever THAT means) is necessary? Not so much...in fact, not at all.

Should have attempted more on my DL, but listened to my body and stopped well short of a PR. Back squat felt strong, press was ugly as hell... almost felt like I had taken a step back... Maybe it was the 1000s of snatches and jerks @ Coach B made us do :P

Decided to scale my weights one more time due to a knee injury. There was a slight "echo" of pain during warm-up so I took about 45# off my previous PR's to be on the safe side. Hopefully this will be the last time.

Matt "the red" #17...similar story

I started CrossFit Jan '08. I was making progress, getting stronger, feeling good, loving the WODs. Then in June '08, from out of the nowhere (it usually is), I started feeling bad. I came home from work and had severe "stomach" pains. After a weeks worth of tests and painkillers, I had my gallbladder removed...out for 8 weeks.

The summer months seem to be the hardest for me (gallbladder removal or not) because there's so much else going on. Here are some suggestions...

1. Focus more on eating right...lots of veggies and very little processed carbs.

2. Skip a WOD or 2 and do your own outdoor workouts...pullups on the playground/swingset, box jumps on a park bench, use a weighted backpack in lieu of a kettlebell, work on handstands in the yard, instead of just running around the block, run through a field, zig zag through ditches, run throught the woods, etc. Be creative!

3. If all else fails, I'll think about an ol' high school coach who told me before a workout one day..."If you workout even when you don't want to, it makes working out SO much better when you DO want to." How true!

4. Just take some time off and enjoy yourself...you'll probably be anxious to get back soon.

Good luck!

Coach Glassman and all concerned XFIT Staff:

I want to thank you and your staff for the opportunity to participate in a level-one certification at the Marina CrossFit gym over this past weekend. I was both humbled and privileged to be a part of this "life-changing" event. As a 30-year veteran of the LAPD and 24-year veteran of our SWAT Team I had always believed that I had a pretty good grasp on what it takes to maintain a mission-ready fitness. However; after listening to the instructors, working through the exercises and observing the overall fitness of the XFIT instructors, I have been educated and as a consequence "reborn." The combined efforts of all the personnel involved with our level-one certification will no doubt play a very significant and positive role in our team's future and mission-ready capability. I am both eager and anxious to see how my personal fitness level improves over the coming weeks, months and years!

Please thank your trainers, Josh Everett, Stephan Rochet, Rachel Medina, Pat Barber and Jolie Gentry, for their dedication, patience and professionalism.

Additionally, I look forward to a long and grateful relationship with the staff of the CrossFit Marina - many thanks to the Serrano family.

God bless.

**Level 1 Cert - Golden, CO**

This was a life changing experience for me so let me tell you just a bit about myself to help anyone like me that's thinking about taking the cert. I'm a 40 y/o cop (on 'the job' for 13 years) and Police Academy Instructor. I've done the globo-gym workout since high school and thought I knew some stuff.

I'd known of CrossFit for awhile but didn't get into it until about 6 weeks ago. Watching videos, reading articles and talking to some Crossfitter friends again, I thought I knew some stuff.

Then I was told that I was going to be in charge of the Fitness and Nutrition portion of an upcoming Academy class. Time to get serious! The Academy PT was already based on CF so I had to play catch up!

Captain Jon Barba of the Colorado State Police (and the CSP CrossFit guru) was extremely helpful in getting me into this cert and I'm deeply in his debt.

Now about the cert...The level of instruction was absolutely top notch. Our main instructors; Todd, Boz, Speal, Matt and Miranda were all extremely knowledgeable and personable. They were supported by an equally enthusiastic and knowledgeable group of trainers. Todd; Tons of energy and likes stories...nuff said. Boz; Circuitous thinking but always brings it back to the point even of he is a bit of a nerd. Speal; Funny and great stripper deadlift! Matt; Stud. Miranda; Ahhh, Miranda. I'll never be able to read anyone their rights without smiling. Our class ranged from a one time CrossFitter, to me and another Academy Instructor with our 6 weeks to a guy with a 3:54 Fran (after a Tabata Bottom Squat workout and a couple hours of learning movements!) and a couple of folks that knew what the big words were. The instructors were able to teach to all of us and do it well.

I'd been squatting for years, or at least I thought I had. The first movements we learned were the squats and I was humbled but thankfully so. With just PVC I was blown away! The group dynamic was great and really helped me learn, especially when I found myself in the center of the group as an example of some deficiency or another! Each movement was like this. I thought I knew some stuff then found out how much I didn't know.

The morning of day 2 I woke up more sore than I had been in years. Great! As Todd said, "That means you did something!" (High five, chest bump). Boz gave an excellent that actually changed my mind on nutrition. This was one area that I thought I was pretty solid on. I'd looked at The Zone before but wasn't convinced. Thanks to Boz I'm going to enter The Zone and I'm sure I'll have great results. Day 2's workout was a team thing...sorry to my team mates for slowing you studs down. Speal finished the day for us with a scaling and programming lecture that was exactly what I needed to know for training the next batch of Police Recruits.

All this boils down to my absolute positive recommendation of the Level 1 Certification for anyone but especially for Law Enforcement trainers.

The Level 1 Cert in Atlanta was awesome...the trainers, lectures, and small group instruction were very well organized and educational. I look forward to applying the information from this past weekend, to my school's PE curriculum this fall. I hope exposing crossfit methods and ideas to children and young teenagers will not only give them a better quality of life, but show them WHY fitness is important in all aspects of their lives. Thanks to all the trainers for taking the time out of their lives to transform ours!

I used today to practice snatches, after being inspired by the new video from Coach B. I still need work - I sometimes get afraid to pull myself under the bar. Grr.

I attended the Level 1 Cert in ATL this past weekend traveling from Detroit MI (12 drive). I have to commend all of fellow Level 1 certificate receivers, and especially the trainers. I learned a wealth of knowledge from Chuck, Andy, Bobbi, Mike G, Justin, Maggie and the rest of the assembled team (if I forgot anyone). I love Crossfit more than ever and look forward to my next opportunity to attend a Cert.

**Level I – ATL **

Awesome time. I can’t stop talking about it. Many thanks to all the trainers - Chuck, Maggie, MikeG, Bobbi, Andy and Justin – I learned a lot from each of you. You are a credit to the CF community and to the fitness profession. Thanks too to CrossFit Atlanta for hosting. Congratulations to all of the newly certified trainers and athletes.

I’ve been CrossFitting for nearly two years now and learned a great deal of practical cues, techniques, as well as theory at the cert. The cert only deepened my appreciation for CF and has inspired me to achieve more as an athlete and a trainer. Mission accomplished.

I have just two criticisms of the cert--see below.

Again, many thanks. Fran sucks.

Peace, love, and burpees,
Ben

------------
Double-Unders Station:
- Too few ropes and not enough variety in lengths. Having the proper length rope can make all the difference for a beginner, and many people in my group struggled b/c of a lack of ropes. Fix: get more ropes.
- Instruction was a bit slow. Too much talk, too little action. Would like to see people start spinning the rope sooner. Perhaps begin with a brief explanation of the key points in singles. Get people jumping. Then explain the basics of the d/u and differences and get people attempting d/u sooner. It seemed as though we only had 3-4 min of actual d/u practice. The shortage of ropes was partially responsible for the time shortage.

Nutrition Talk:
- Overall weak on content. (The only weak part of the cert in my opinion.) I didn't hear anything that I haven't seen in a teaser video posted with the main site WODs. I would appreciate something deeper such as a deeper explanation of paleo with content answering questions like: what about dairy? Why do paleo purists hate it? What about legumes? Is paleo just no processed carbs and no sugar? Is it all about glycemic index? What’s better a high GI banana or a low GI piece of wheat bread? What's the difference as long as I'm getting the right number of blocks? These are just examples of course. I know the goal was to get “a better food choice at lunch” but I think there is room for a bit more detail even for things like side effects, practical implementation, vegetarians, etc. The talk is a good start and did point to additional resources, but I would like to see more time devoted to such an important aspect of fitness and performance.

I can't say enough about the Level I Cert in Kaiserslautern, GE. Many thanks to Pat and the CrossFit Instructors, CrossFit Ramstein, Marco, attendees, and other contributors that pulled this off with style. It was a phenomenal weekend, thank you all for helping me achieve my goal!

Arrived home after the L1 Cert in Ramstein. Very precious experience, great trainers, excellent lectures, killer workouts.

On my way back home I made a stop and visited my aunt, she asked me what I was doing in Germany... and 3 hours after that we were still talking about Zone, CF... then she wanted to know if her squat was ok... then took me to visit her friends, and I had to do the whole "lecture" again... great stuff apparently finds its way to spread further with no effort!! Love it!

~~Level I Golden~~

SO glad I went to the Level I class. It was so great for my fundamentals as an athlete. I feel like everyone should take it twice to absorb all the info. I realize making the level I class longer might not work for as many people; however one more day may help with retention. The instructors were absolutely AWESOME! CF HQ did an awesome job finding these people. During the class I was able to do my very first muscle up, with everyone cheering me on. Thanks Chan!

I agree with #19.

I've been trying to get my shoulder press up. I make sure when I do CF Total with my friends that they call me out if I bend my knees at all, and I don't count that round or I count it as a fail.

I've been stuck at 165# for months now, but I don't believe I'm very strong, so I know that there are guys out there who can smoke a shoulder press with proper form (i.e. no pushpress cheating). I can definately believe some of these guys who put up a serious amount of weight, but not everyone can be putting up 200# on a real SP.

Howdy all! Hope you had a good strength day. I was really pleased with most of my lifts.
200 squat
67.5 press (yeah, i have those little chip plates)

Really bummed about the push press - It went down. My shoulders are still really cranked from last week, so maybe they are just fatigued. The powerlifter in me soooo wishes that this was a bench press instead. :) Then it would be GO TIME!!
Happy Monday to all of you - thanks for all of the work you do Coach!

There are several crucial nutritional characteristics of the Paleo Diet that help optimize our health and body composition:

1. Glycemic Load (GL)
Fill up on low-glycemic foods, like fish and lean, naturally-raised meats, vegetables, whole fruits, nuts, and seeds.

Our modern Western diet of high-glycemic, refined-grain and sugar products has a much higher glycemic load (a measure of the blood glucose-raising ability of foods) than our ancestors’ diet. Sugars and refined grains now represent more than 39 percent of the calories in the typical U.S. diet, a drastic change that has occurred only within the last 200 years — hardly a blip on the evolutionary time scale. Long-term consumption of high-glycemic foods causes insulin resistance, which is the main factor underlying most degenerative diseases. Removing high-glycemic foods from your diet and filling up on low-glycemic foods is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your ideal weight. But it can also help you live a longer life and (more important) enjoy greater health and more capacity for activity in your later years.

2. Fatty-acid Composition
Fight heart disease, reduce your risk of cancer, and lose weight by consuming enough of the right fats. Eat more monounsaturated fats like olive oil and omega-3 polyunsaturated fats from fish or fish oil supplements, and cut back on vegetable oils and conventionally raised meats.

Our ancestors got most of their dietary fat from wild game. Because wild game-meat is much leaner and is a richer source of monounsaturated and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids than our modern feed-lot animal meat, our ancestors evolved with a different ratio of these fats than we are consuming today. Experts estimate that our ancestors consumed approximately two omega-6 fat molecules for every one omega-3 molecule, a ratio of 2:1. Today, most people consume an unnaturally distorted ratio of 10 to 20 omega-6 fats for every one molecule of omega-3.

Trans-fats and saturated fats lead to elevated LDL cholesterol, atherosclerosis, and chronic inflammation. A high omega-6:omega-3 ratio also promotes chronic inflammation, a characteristic of many common degenerative diseases.

3. Macronutrient Composition
Add more protein to your diet. This can improve your blood-lipid profiles and help you feel fuller and burn more calories. The best sources of protein are lean, naturally raised or wild meats like fish and grass-fed beef; eggs; and plant sources, such as beans and nuts.

The proportion of calories we receive from the three main macronutrient groups – carbohydrate, protein, and fat – are also out of sync with how our bodies evolved to function optimally. The typical U.S. diet approximately mirrors USDA recommendations: Around 52 percent of daily energy comes from carbohydrates, 33 percent from fat, and roughly 15 percent from protein. Hunter-gathers received a significantly higher amount of calories from protein (estimated at between 19 and 35 percent) at the expense of calories from carbohydrates (22 to 40 percent).

4. Micronutrient Density
Ensure that your body is nourished and help your stomach feel full and satisfied, without gaining weight, by increasing the nutrient-density of your diet. To do this, try to eat one-third of your calories in the form of fruits and vegetables.

One of the results of a glut of refined grain, sugar, and vegetable oil in our modern diet is the displacement of nutrient-dense foods. Vegetable oils and refined sugars have very few vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals in them, but now contribute more than 36 percent of energy in the average American diet.

5. Acid-Base Balance
Getting 35 percent of your calories from fruit and veggies can also help restore your body’s acid-base balance.

After digestion and metabolism, all the foods we eat release either acidic or basic substances into the circulatory system. Vegetables, fruit, tubers, roots, and nuts are all net-base-producing, whereas diary products, fish, meat, eggs, cereal grains, and salt are net-acid-producing. With a heavy reliance on fruits and vegetables, our hunter-gatherer ancestors had a net-base-producing diet throughout our evolution.

Today, we depend on dairy products and cereal grains for roughly 35 percent of our calories at the expense of fruit and vegetables, resulting in a modern diet that is net-acid-producing.

Switch back to a more balanced diet, and you may reduce your risk of kidney malfunction, osteoporosis, age-related muscle wasting, kidney stones, hypertension, and exercise-induced asthma.

6. Sodium-Potassium Ratio
Balance your sodium intake with potassium to reduce your risk of developing disorders like hypertension, stroke, kidney stones, osteoporosis, gastrointestinal-tract cancers, and asthma. By avoiding packaged foods in favor of fresh ones, you’ll cut a majority of the excess sodium from your diet.

The ideal sodium to potassium ratio is less than 1 —and this electrolyte balance is critical for normal cell function. The exorbitant amount of sodium Americans consume in processed foods and by voluntarily adding it to prepared foods (options not available to our ancestors) far outweighs the potassium we ingest from fruit and vegetable sources.

Potassium concentrations in vegetables are four times those in milk and 12 times those in grains. Fruit has approximately two and five times the potassium concentrations in milk and grains, respectively.

7. Fiber
Add more fiber to your diet. This simple addition can help you avoid disorders connected to low dietary fiber, like constipation, appendicitis, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, diverticulitis, hernia, and gastroesophageal reflux.

If you replace refined sugars and oils, grains, dairy products, and processed foods with fruits and vegetables, you will ingest around 42 grams of fiber a day.

It does not take an education in nutrition to know that the typical American diet is low in fiber. We get about 15 grams per day when we should be getting around 25 to 30 grams a day. Vegetables are by far the best source of fiber, and they provide eight times the amount of fiber in whole grains, on an energy basis. Soluble fibers (fruit/veggies) reduce total and LDL cholesterol and slow the emptying of the stomach — which reduces the appetite and total calories consumed.

8. Avoidance of Dietary Lectins and Saponins
Autoimmune disease happens when elements of the immune system (killer T cells primarily) attack and destroy the myelin sheath surrounding nerves. T cells erroneously recognize one or more autoantigens in the body as being a foreign protein. We believe that this erroneous recognition occurs because T cells are activated by foreign antigens that continually stimulate the T cells. We believe that T cell activation occurs from normally harmless bacteria and food peptides (components of proteins) present in the gut that enter into circulation.

In the gut, certain dietary proteins called lectins bind bacterial and other food peptides, forming complexes (lectin + bacterial peptide or food peptide). One of the ways this lectin/peptide complex enters circulation is by binding a receptor in the gut called the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R). The lectin/peptide complex then enters the interior of gut cells, then continues into the lymph and the circulation.

Dietary lectins not only act as a Trojan Horse that permit bacteria and food peptides access to circulation, but they also act as adjuvants, capable of causing a powerful immune response.

The reason that T cells decide to mount an immune response against the body is because they “see” an amino acid sequence in the bacterial peptide attached to the lectin, which looks to be a foreign invader. Whenever they “see” this same sequence, they multiply and mount an aggressive attack.

Unfortunately, myelin basic protein contains an amino acid sequence that is virtually identical and undistinguishable to the T cells that have been primed by gut bacterial peptides or food peptides. In this process, known as molecular mimicry, the primed T cells then attack myelin.

The notion of a leaky gut would not only include the transcellular EGF-R pathway, but also the paracellular route (between cells which are connected by tight junctions). Gliadin, another protein in wheat, up regulates a gut protein called zonulin which directly affects tight junction structure making the gut more permeable to gut bacteria. Dietary saponins in many nightshade plants (tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers primarily) and other foods also directly influence the paracellular route and increase gut permeability.

If you have leaky gut or autoimmune disease, we also recommend that you avoid tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplants, and alfalfa sprouts until your symptoms subside. You may then choose to slowly add some of these foods back in, playing close attention to your symptoms.

Off of my wanted goal of 900, and WAY off my pr of 1060. First CFT since Jan/February (before the police academy), so I wanted to focus more on proper form. Could have done much more on BS, but would have sacrificed the depth of the squat. Back felt good on the DL, but the grip was barely hanging on.

Feel terrible about how much muscle I lost over the past few months, but still not TOO disappointed in my results. Also excited to finally have the schedule clearing up enough so I can consistently get in the gym.

On a side note, I work out at a globo (it runs with ShowerMouse) and it always makes me laugh when the trainers are teaching people new workouts. Todays great workout? Bench press followed by barbell curl. Also, dip machine followed by pec deck.

It's great to see knowledgeable people getting paid to improve ones fitness (rolls eyes)

Was an awesome class that unfortunately went by quickly. Thanks to all the trainers Pat, Lisa, Courtney, Mads, Karl, Oliver, Klaus for the outstanding training. I can tell that you all have so much passion for training by all the information I learned from you all. Thanks also to Brian, Jason, Marco and all who contributed to make this happen. It was freakin' awesome to have so many CF'ers from different countries in one gym.

To comment #50...Leroy buddy! I didn't know that was your brother. The both of you were kickin' ass and it's awesome to know you guys started from home.

I had a blast meeting everyone and getting down with the WOD's B2B Tabata Squats/ Fight Gone Burpee. Everything from my hips and down still hurt.

I was warming up on the back squat, and something just didn't feel...right. So, after warming up with 135 and 225, I moved right into push press, got up to 155, failed on 175. Skipped the d-lift, practiced the suitcase deadlift at 135 and the one-armed pushpress at 45. Finished with 3 rounds for time of clean and jerks, 135# (like grace, but broken into 3 timed sets. 45 seconds, 1:25, and 1:23.

Injured my lower back a few weeks ago going heavy on back squats and deadlifts. Although my back feels better, I decided to lower the weight and go for a modified 10-rep version of CFT tonight consisting of overhead squats, shoulder presses, front squats and deadlifts. Here's how things went:

Overhead Squat, 10 reps, D-Ball, PVC/45/67/87 (70% of 1 rep PR of 125)
Shoulder Press, 10 reps, 45/102 (66% of 1 rep PR of 155)
Front Squat, 10 reps, D-Ball, 102/187 (72% of 1 rep PR of 260)
Deadlift, 10 reps, 187/277/302 (72% of 1 rep PR of 420)

First time in recent memory doing 10-rep max sets for these lifts. Took it pretty easy - probably could have gotten 105 on the shoulder press, 205 on the front squat, and 330 on the deadlift - I just did not want to mess up my back. Did front squats instead of back squats for two reasons: (1) They are more forgiving on my back; and (2) I think they will help me more with my O-Lifts.

Worked out alone today - Mama and my daughter went to the mountains of Western North Carolina for a few days. My son is still at US Naval Sea Cadet Training in Virginia Beach. On Friday we'll all train together.

New PR by 15# thanks to the DL. I may shoot for 300# on the BS next time. Chronic L-shldr inj made the first two attempts at 155 fail. I don't think my shldr was warmed-up enough. DL at 415 didn't pull as easy as it did on the 5th of this month.

used 30#barbell for pp & 65#bar for dl; runs outside-hot, sunny and slow!
27 fun minutes! First set of pp I bashed myself in the head with the bar coming down. Finally got the hang of it by the last set. The wt was light enough but had technique and balance issues! Very interesting wod! Next time will be better:)

Video taping deadlift was the best thing I have done in a long time. I had tweaked my back twice (and lost a lot of time and confidence) before I had taped myself. I had noticed immediately that my shoulders were too far in front of bar and butt was too high in air. Re-read Starting Strength paying attention on how to correct this fault, in other words, how to set up properly.

It feels wonderful to be dead lifting using correct form. Feels completely different than it did before, yet the change looked somewhat minor.

DNF today unfortunately. Recent left elbow pain is aggravated by the grip required for deadlifting, and my hip crease muscles (hip extensors?) and others hurt when i got heavy on the squats.

~Level 1 ATL~

The level 1 was absolutely wonderful! Getting the hands-on instruction and practice was completely worth sitting in a VERY WARM gym for 2 straight days. I have been Crossfitting for a little over a year and I now feel like I can not only help others with the fundamentals of CrossFit, but also improve my own technique. The combination of lecture and physical application was perfect- especially learning the corrections for common faults. Heads up to anyone planning on attending a cert- pack a lunch and stick around for the halftime show. Watching the trainers WOD is not to be missed! Chuck, Andy, Justin, Mike G., Maggie, and Bobbie were awesome! Thanks so much for a fantastic weekend!

I felt like I wanted to cry today. My whole heart was set on getting 405 (the 4 plates) on the DeadLift but I didn't get it... I'll tell you what happened in just a bit:

Back Squat:

295
315(Old PR)
325 (new PR!)

I was happy for the new PR but it wasn't what I was focused on that much.

Shoulder Press:
115 (Old PR)
125 (New PR!)
135 (Failed)

Cool! A new PR! It wasn't what I was focused on...

Finally the deadlifts... my heart started pounding and I started to get nervous.

385 (Old PR)
405 Failed
405 Failed

It was so dissapointing! I had the weight and everything but my grip slipped twice! It just ruined my day...

I need to either:
A: not wear gloves when I do the DeadLifts next time

or

B: use the straps that I bought a long time ago but never felt the need to use them until now. I didn't have them on me! :(

Surprisingly though, I got my PR very easily! It was a piece of cake. I just really really wanted that 405. Maybe next time...

My overall total went up, but I dropped on the squat to facilitate better form and a lower squat. Stayed the same on the shoulder press, but think I could have gotten another 10lbs out of it. Deadlift keeps getting better, but I need to fully extend at the top, though.

Thanks for the great level one certification at CO state patrol. It was a great learning experience and environment. I would recommend it for everyone. The pace and flow of the certification was excellent, especially considering the amount of information that was disseminated. Thanks to the trainers and everyone who attended for making it a wonderful certification.

Squat - 415 (PR!) whoa!!! bested previous PR by 50lbs just by following the CF Total white paper listing the progressions to follow in going up

Deadlift - 425 (PR!)

I also learned that I if I correct some bad form in the Deadlift I can go bigger!! SWEET! Once I get some coaching I can improve! Hopefully Burgener and/or Rip will be in Portland OR soon...

Just wanted to write to say what a phenomenal job the trainers did at the Atlanta Cert. Not only did they manage to be pretty damn entertaining, but I learned a lot too! Nutrition information was informative and I appreciate tips on estimating proper blocks for different athletes. This is something I took back to the gym and started on today.

Thanks to Chuck, Mike G, Bobby Jo, Andy, Maggie, and Justin! Also thanks to Dan for hosting!

Maybe we need to get that bar nice and low on your back and work on the punch from the bottom to get some compensatory acceleration. What's your sticking point? If you're up in Denver let's get a workout in this weekend.

Just wanted to take a moment to post a hearty thank you to Coach and his staff who took the time to come to Cross Fit Marina to instruct our Level 1 Cert. The staff counted for some of the best in the business and every member of LAPD SWAT recognized that we were standing amongst giants in this community. We appreciate your the time you took to help us. The first day when Andrew announced that we would have a Hero's workout in memory of Randy Simmons, I could see the emotion on every face present as we all counted Randy as a dear member of our family. The best part was Coach taking the time to come and instruct. It was very humbling and deeply appreciated. The lessons learned at this event will lead us to greater heights and capabilities as we do our job.

Thanks again. The door is always open to you in LA.

I had a great time at the level one cert at Cross Fit Marina this weekend. Everyone on the coaching staff was outstanding. Thanks, Mark Richardson LAPD

Coach,
Thanks for the outstanding training. Having been to numerous courses related to my field, I can honestly say the instructors at the cert were the most professional I have seen. I am looking forward to pursuing the Crossfit standard.
Thanks again,
Canaan B. LAPD SWAT

a little disappointed on the press as I did 105 x 6 reps last week.

Wanted to take a minute and say thanks to Coach Glassman, The Serrano family, and the Crossfit trainers for a weekend that has changed my life! I look forward to changing everything I have known about fitness and enjoying the reslutls I'm sure to get from Crossfit.

Coach Glassman

This passed weekend certification for LAPD SWAT was awesome. The instruction was top notch. Thanks to all of you for taking time out of your busy schedules to help our team out. There was definitely some eyes opened during the two day seminar. We have a core group of SWAT personnel that get together and either do the WOD or put some thing together and I suspect that the number involved will grow and thats a good thing. Thanks again

Outstanding weekend guys. Thank you for your efforts, you were an awesome group of instructors I learned a lot about the training and I especially like how it was broken down. That makes it easier to remember and instruct. It's definitely going to change my physical conditioning program, as soon as the soreness diminishes! Ha! Thanks Again.

I attended the Level 1 in Denver at the Colo. State Patrol Academy. Great weekend. Totally changed the way I crossfit by teaching me correct form and motivating me to "scale more and more often." I am practicing the skills and doing the workouts I avoided in the past. I also feel more confident telling people what I am doing and why. Thank you to all of the trainers and my classmates.
