This looks cool, my time will be bad b/c of only 1 bar but the wod looks fun.

oh lookie, 3 bars of death...

YES.

Three kinds of sweet.

gonna practice lifting form tomorrow I guess. Will maybe throw a tabata in because I don't have weights

tears of pleasure and pain....this one looks amazing, cant wait!!!

Don't think I've had the guts to try Linda before. I'll definitely need to scale it. Any tips for doing so? Should I keep the proportions between the three lifts the same? i.e., is it OK if, say, I can bench my body weight but DL only 120% of BW and clean 50% -- or should I pick a lower BW where I can DL 150%, bench 100%, and clean 75%?

First time for Linda. Came up at my Level 1 cert last Sep.

I only have 1 bar... No idea how I can do this

The 3 bars of death

I cannot wait for this one!

I love Linda! This will be an easy PR for me to destroy. Last time I did this was on my birthday - September 15th 2008. It took me over 20 minutes and I didn't even do it as RX'd. My guess is sub 15 as RX'd.

I'm pumped!

FRAT PALEO FRAT PALEO FRAT PALEO

Just did this last Thursday at Crossfit Renaissance.

DL: 270
Bench: Subbed 1 ring dip, 1 push-up for each rep due to bad shoulder
Squat Clean: 135

32:36

LINDA FINALLY GOT POSTED!!!

s'more, remember when we were asking for this one back in January?!?! :)

Josh - #7 - If you are not as strong on one lift, only scale that one lift. Last time, I only scaled the cleans and did fine with the rest.

There are two great videos of Gillian doing Linda - One of the reasons why I love this workout. One video is from the previous day this WOD was posted. (click on link) She then beat her time when she did it at LaLanne Fitness in San Francisco.

Video is interesting. Makes me think: I'm training for the Senior CrossFit games of 2060!

Wow, my brother and I are both form Juneau. This picture is totally cool... Linda however, might get subbed out for another girl, probably Fran. we've only got two bars... :(

Dang...I only have 1 bar! I'll have to move fast and efficiently to get the bumpers on and off in addition to lifting them. I've never done Linda before so this is going to be a fffffff....uuuunnn experience :)

Haha, I did this today, subbed HSPU for BP for spacial considerations

DL 275
HSPU
Clean 135

Time 29:04

YEAH!!!!

I had a dream about this one. Round 10, 9, 8, and 7 are the best.

I personally witnessed Jason Khalipa do Linda in 15 minutes and some change as Rx'ed at a bodyweight of 210#. It was m------ f------ brutality in motion.

Comment #17 - Posted by: Eric Gohl 22/5'10/163

Eric, I like to think that it will be not just a measure of your power output, but your agility and accuracy as well. In other words, it's not that bad...just use it as a rest period! :D

Everytime this comes up, I instantly wish to weigh 140lbs.........not 240

Hit and quit it

im going to have to go to the gym when its quietest if i want three bars to myself

Coach,

I was curious on your take of Robb Wolf's article he recently wrote entitled "Barry Sears IS Paleo", especially since HQ supplies him with an avenue to teach the Nutritional Certification.

Wow, doing Linda as r/x within a reasonable time is my main Crossfit goal for 2009.

I could do it but it would take me an hour and suck my soul for a week. My BW is 80kg but I'm gonna do this using 70kg BW this time, then 75kg next time and 80 the final time

What if no bench press?

No bench... what is the best sub for the bench press?
Thanks!

Oh Linda.

Yes m'lady, I am yours at 6 tomorrow morning.
(shudder)

OMG I cannot wait. Herm, you're right, we were calling for this back in January.

LET'S GIT THIS AND GIDDY-UP!

#24 and #25

I like ring push-ups as a sub for the bench press. I know they are easier, but my shoulder likes them a lot better.

Just an idea.

I love the ladies...
One day you guys are going to see me out there with the elite. I know I have it in me. Watch for Matt Dawkins at the 2011 CrossFit Games.
Score to come sooner than later...can't wait for Linda!

Let's see...have to scale the weights, because being 225ish makes those heavy weights HEAVY... and have to figure out what to do with one good bar, a smith machine (ugh) and two crap-tastic curl bars (ugh ugh!) I can also use dumbbells, which might work for the benches, but still leaves me with the two extremes battling it out for the good bar! Maybe I'll just get a little breather slapping plates on and taking 'em off every round! ;)

HARDEST WOD EVER!!!!!! EVA T IS A CLOSE SECOND.

Me and my friends are going to die tomorrow. Good times.

if you can only use one bar. Do dumbell bench press to help at the gym.

Three Bars is no problem, the weight will be! can't wait!

Yeah, that posted video was odd . . . maybe next time leave out the forced interviews for meager purposes.

Fran: 2:28

couldnt have come at a better time. couple of days off after the weekend and now a Linda onslaught. have to beat my old PR of 31 mins. that was not a good day.

Hey to the FRAT

I have to workout at the university of arkansas gym and they dont allow clean. What is a good sub for the clean workout. i weigh 165.

this will hurt, seeing as my DL sucks, and my max is just above 1.5x my BW... gonna have to scale

will they allow you to do a hang clean?

Is this supposed to be a power clean or squat clean or either as necessary?

I Linda

oh man i love being scared of a WOD. hopefully ill be able to walk.

FYI, a good sub for BP is ring dips.

The 3 bars of death! I watched the video of Gillian Mounsey crushing this WOD and it inspired me to try it. That was 6 months ago. It kicked my ass, and I haven't tried it since. Here goes nothing.

hardest WOD in the 2 years i've been doing crossfit. I wish i would have read this tomorrow, cause there is no way i'm sleeping tonight.

first timers beware!

Wow. I'm still hurting from Saturday's DL 5RM.

It looks brutal, and from reading Sep 2008 posts, plan to scale down to BW DL, 3/4 BW Bench, 1/2 BW clean and hope to survive the 55 reps of each.

Gillian posted a sub-15:00 ???! Maybe if it was only the 3 bars (and no weights).

i am assuming full squat clean, yes?

Storm thru for time...

HA HA.

No one who has ever watched me do this would ever use the term 'storm'

Stumble... stagger... puke...

but not storm.

f/39/173/5'11"

Oh... Why do I have to be so heavy? Once again I wish I was gymnast size.

Uh Oh!!! Linda gets to pop my cherry tomorrow!! First time for this WOD looking forward to it!! I hope she using Lube!! :)

"Linda" as Rx'd

Deadlift: 275
Bench press: 185
Clean: 135

What an excellent video. Way to tell it like it is Coach.

I'm trying to figure out a ballpark number of calories to be taking in per day for my body weight, height, and activity level. I'm not quite ready for the full blown zone diet, but would like a rough number. I eat pretty balanced and healthy, but I think my intake is much too high! Need to start keeping closer track just out of curiosity. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I weigh about the same (and am the same height as well..) as #51 and those numbers scare me.
275 DL I can manage.
185 Bench press is probably going to have to be scaled down because I'm a failure.
I just cleaned 135 for practice today and can manage that, though.

Howdy all! Scrat here! I am so scared of tomorrow's wod - never attempted it before. Should up the suck factor by a whole lot. Hey Strong Lil Pony - I did the 300 wod tonight. Could only do 70 lbs on the floor wipers and struggled with getting my feet to the weights, but I gave it a try. subbed kettlebell swings for clean and jerks, but I got it in 19:38. Hope to improve on my form and eventually my time, but I will take it for a first time at this wod. And I hurt like a big dog. It kicked my hiney. Can't wait to try this thing - looks absolutely nuts!
Have a great night all!

Thanks for the suggestion. Ring dips sounds like a reasonable sub.

Ive been doing Crossfit Football, but I've GOT to do Linda tomorrow...
so excited...
Brandon

male 235lb plus 3 bars of death = 20 tons of fun

I had a dream a nuke went off. I guess this was it.

Just got done digging through the Gym Jones site after listening to my boss talk about what a great guy he was and how "everything is on the site *if* you search for it.

Maybe I'm just dense, but after reading through all the self-important horn-tooting and straining my eyes for way too long at tiny white text on black, all I've come away with is a vague sense of how I am not worthy, and a calender listing workouts that have been done at the gym in the past.

This calender would be great if there was some expanation as to what some of the exercises actually entailed. I can put together workable workouts in some cases, but this isn't the case with all of them. I understand that the workouts are not posted as a guide for "outsiders", but as a record of sorts. It just makes me wonder, what's the point?

Plus, the way the site comes off, I am left thinking that the person who created it is a huge cocky a-hole. It was quite a relief to my eyes when I came back here to the crossfit site and saw "Linda" up there in all her glory, and a website that is actually intuitive and helpful in it's set-up. Everything on the site serves a purpose, and is helpful to someone like me who is trying to get started properly on the program. No crap about "Salvation", "Disciples", and gods-know-what. I'm not looking to train for anybody else but myself and my family. I don't feel the need to prove that I'm "worthy" to some bag in Utah that's made from the same dust as I am. I'm not "Gym Jones Material", I guess.

And if Mark Twight somehow sees this (highly unlikely to say the least!); I'm sure your a great guy over a couple beers, but your website makes you and your "disciples" come off like buttholes. That kind of attitude motivated me in high-school, but now it's just tired and old.

Anyhow, sorry for the vent.

Tried to do Tabata Something Else, plus the 4x800 meter workout. Didn't keep count of TSE, but did 3:30, 3:39 on first two 800's. Got called out so couldn't finish the 800's.

Can't wait for Linda tomorrow! Will prolly take an hour.

Max backsquats
135-145(old pr)-155-165-170-175(F)-170 PR!!!
I am beyond stoked!!!I havent doent backsquats since mid-May. Could it be maybe that I have cleaned up the diet?? Me thinks YES! Paleo works! Have fun with Linda ya'll. I have back-to-school night at the kids school so I will have to save it for another day. GO FRAT GO!!

Awesome photo- keep the climbing pics coming, especially the alpine ones!

Doing this one for the Warriors of Operation EASTERN RESOLVE in A-Stan.

POWER CLEANS are fine.

Strongly recommend that you scale the WOD if it's your first time. Try starting with 7-6-5-4-3-2-1 for 28 total reps of each. Going from 7 to 8 is a big jump, 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 is 36 reps of each. My wrestling clients are strong guys and do the WODs as RXd. They begged me for weeks to try LINDA, I finally relented but at 7-6-5-4-3-2-1 scaling. They were beat down for several days afterward.

The first time I tried Linda, I made the 10-9-8-7 rounds (an Omani bodybuilder started a fight with me in round 7, he didn't like my aggressive power cleans) and had to quit. Only girl I ever DNFd. It would have been nice if someone had made me start with a scaled version of about 7!.

I would have ignored them and DNFd anyway. Some people insist on learning the hard way.

oh boy....

My response to seeing this was a wierd mix of YES!!! and NO!!! all at the same time.

In the words of Hellboy: "Aw Crap.."

24GLOBO-Tualatin - see you tomorrow!

clean or squat clean?

Unless otherwise specified, always assume squat clean! When it says "clean & jerk" the squat becomes optional, especially on Grace when it's ground-to-overhead anyhow (from Coach's mouth).

Cash Reynolds!! i second that thought of scaling!! this was my first wod (9/6/08) and i cut the weight to what i thought was managable and i STILL didnt move for three days... apparently the pain what intoxicating enough to make me want to crossfit every day from then on! .. almost a year later, i cant wait to do this wod again!!!

Cash, good advice brother. Funny stuff about the Omani bodybuilder...I can imagine that going down! How've ya been dude?

first time as rx'd

28:05

Deadlift 120kg
Bench Press 80kg
Squat Clean 60kg

that really hurt and on video so i can torture myself with watching poor form on the deadlifts

Modified to DL:135 / BP: 95 / Clean: 65

25 minutes

FYI, SQUAT CLEANS are the ONLY acceptable way to perform Linda if you want to do it as RX'D.
However, your competing against yourself so do what you want.

Crossfit HQ says a "Clean" is always a squat clean, except w/ Grace.

FML - Fck My Life...it's been a while since I felt that way.

As Rx'd 30:56

Due to really bad forearm injury I may only be able to do cleans at ~30% BW. Is it better to do squat instead or do a real light clean?

Just to clarify - its an injury I had a long time ago and still recovering... its not that I am trying to work through something that needs to be rested...

Shouldn't have done this mourning's workout. I forgot the time, but it wasn't too shabby.
5 rounds:
10 Deadlift @ 225
10 Push Jerk @ 135
25 Box Jump @ 30"
25 push ups

Too bad I only felt capable to take on Linda from 8 down. It was my first time with her, so I don't feel too bad.

It kind of seems as if the coach has lost weight. Is he working out again? Interesting, given that one of the most persistent criticisms of Crossfit is that coach himself isn't in great shape. Just a thought.

I scaled back the reps, not the weight for this workout. My numbers were 275 pound deadlift, 185 pound bench press, and 140 pound clean. The sets were scaled back to 7-6-5-4-3-2-1. For sets 7-5, I did power cleans, and the rest were squat cleans.

Male/39 bw 185 DL 280, Bench 185 and cleans 140

39:40

I'm here to tell you I think this is the hardest workout I've ever done on Crossfit. I've been doing it since May 15 2009. started out cleans were the toughest but haven't ever done many. 9th set was broken through 7th. Bench was never broken and the easiest. DL's started the easiest but were pure hell by set 7-1! Broken 8 through 7.

First time and I was slow!!!!!

as Rx'd 47:24...kept clock running while taping a torn callus that was bleeding everywhere and finding an extra towel to dry the bars as my first towel and tshirt were too soaked to dry them sufficiently to maintain a safe grip. I suck.
dl 275
b 185
c 140

my 8th day of Xfit, been aching all over so I took the scaling advice.

7-6-5-4-3-2-1 of

dead 155 = 0.9x bw
bench 115 = 0.6 bw
clean 95 = 0.5 bw.

I think I scaled too much! I was moving faster at the end than the beginning. However I'm pretty sure this would have wrecked me 2 weeks ago. Crossfit rocks.

Looking back, I could've increased the weight more.

Dang, I was looking forward to this workout but I did Dianne yesterday and my back and hams are saying "screw you Jordan"

It was my first time with Dianne and she got finished in 3:29...I felt pretty good about it but I know I can do it faster.

***FRAT***

I posted yesterday I was going for a sub 15. That is a bunch of bologna.

OK I hate Linda now! I thought I would be better since I am stronger and can handle more work. That is not the case. Cleans just kill me. It could be that I did the extra cleans before the WOD, or just me not drinking coffee before or something. We had a blood draw at work this morning and I couldn't eat for 12 hours.

Anyway, I did the cleans that Herm programed (for the FRAT Paleo Challenge) at 115# then rested 11 minutes and did Linda.

Linda as Rx'd:
DL 240#
BP 160#
Cleans 120#

22:57

Last time my time was 20:43 with 95# cleans. My guess is that the extra 25 pounds did it to me. I had to rest way too much on those. I flew through the DL and BP like they were nothing.

I am still fuming. I let myself down. I actually like this feeling. I will push harder next time.

OK - I hope my name stays in once and not twice. That was bugging me.

GO FRAT!

F/28/5'8"/130

I can't even do 1 rep of 205 and no bench so i challenged myself.

Deadlift: 145 (ok, probably coulda done more)
Pushups: 20, 18,16,etc.
Cleans: 95

Time=35:06 with 100 deg F outside. humidity killed me!

I had indicated on an early post that I was going for a sub 15. No way. This is a lot harder than I remembered even with more strength and Paleo on my side. It took longer than I thought.

I officially hate Linda now! Cleans just kill me. It could be that I did the extra cleans before the WOD, or just me not drinking coffee before or something. We had a blood draw at work this morning and I couldn't eat for 12 hours.

Anyway, I did the cleans that Herm programed at 115# then rested 11 minutes and did Linda.

this is going to be one hell of a day,oh and if i dont make it out alive, i left my will writen on my dresser, haha, here we go

10,9,8,7 is all i could do. I only have one bar so I did 1.5 pood kb bench (1 each hand) 155 clean and on the first set 315 dl then 245 dl for the rest. 25:31 wow that was hard.

deadlift walks 140lbs

f/39/170.5(after epic workout)/5'11"

So... here I am, an almost middle aged woman with two children thinking I should be able to lift the same weight at a 22 year old man in the military. I gave it my best shot and am pretty much done for the day. If the baby wants to be lifted up and cuddled.... too bad.

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of

deadlifts 175# (bodyweight)
push press with 35 kettlebell each arm
cleans 125# (3/4 body weight)
time: 50:43 (I'm really hungry now)

I meant to do 10-8-6... etc but I did 9 deadlifts on the second set and by golly, my path was set and I wasn't going to vary. The last 8 cleans were power cleans. I just couldn't bear doing any more full squats. I was afraid I would never get up again.

I am done!!

First time with Linda and LOVE it! Scaled the weight and reps. I'm 270lbs - but I used 225 DL, 201 Bench, 135 Cleans.
Completed 10, 6, and 2 = 18 reps total in 15:30...wish I had seen the idea about starting at 7 instead of 10!

Bodyweight: 87.5 kg

DL: 132.5 kg
Kettlebell Floor Press: 28kg x 2

27:19

Kettlebell Floor Press instead of Bench to help out shoulder. Felt really good; next time go heavier 32kg kb's.

Pretty sure that this was a PR, every other time that I could find, I did Power cleans so I'm definately pleased.

Thanx to everyone yesterday who posted info about training through accute injuries (the biceps rupture guy, shoulder problem etc).. and whoever posted that link to kelly starretts video on the journal, it finally pushed me to subscribe after all this time, and got me back into training my upper body, after thinking i had to rest it bc of an over use injury to my shoulder.. long story short THANX especially to billy (who happened to be doing linda at my LA Fitness) for helping me through those barbell squat cleans. i'm super stoked to be training with my upper body again. Once again, thanx to the crossfit community for being so awesome.

22:51

Had to scale - 1.5 x BW is not much less than my DL 1RM. Bench press was easy, but a nice break between DL & PC.

Pose running skills drills + pull-ups, sit-ups, wall squats and some muscle-up progressions.

Linda packish scale with 1 bar and no bench:

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of the triplet:

Deadlift: body weight - 175
Push-Ups
Clean: 1/2 body weight - 85

Time: 33:13.95

In retrospect, I think doing 2:1 push-ups would have been a good scale for this.

I spent a ton of time changing plates since I only have one bar. I put the 15s on the inside so I could just take off the 5s and 45s, but it still took me too long and man handling those 45s on and off every round got surprisingly tiring towards the end.

I also had to waste some time taping up a torn thumb in round 5.

So with a couple of hours left at work I am psyching myself up for this awesome workout.
This will be my first time with "Linda", and I'm determined to finish as rx'd even if it means I'll still be doing cleans into the wee hours of the morning. I apologized to my hands in advance.

Scaled - WOD for injured.

right arm is in sling from ruptured bicep.

DL - one armed sumo db DL 105lb DB (next time ill use barbell)
BP --> 0ne armed pushups
Clean - one armed db clean 60lb

21:15

follows by 3 sets of 25 back extensions (to help equal out exhaustion on lower back)

So, should I be using a belt when doing deadlifts?

Ok, its taken 31 years to have my a$$ handed to me by a woman, and her name is Linda. WOW that was absolutely beyond intense, it sucks only having one bar. My time sucked but this was my first Linda so i promise ill improve yall.

I knew another Linda 30 some years ago...not much difference.

Oh yeah...time was 45:04

that was brutal, left shoulder gave me trouble through it but something around 35-40:00

This was just what I needed. Works has been stressful, this am, instead of getting up and swimming like always, kept hitting snooze until it was too late to go, then accidentally hit the panic button on security system, had to wait 30 min for police to arrive, thus very late for work (bless them, I am so sorry to make them come out!). Anyhow, when I stress, goes right to body image stuff. But the three bars of death put a smile back on my face ;)

cleans were 125, got the frist round ok, second round I couldn't get the squat, was power cleaning and then squating, fell a couple..3 maybe 4 times in the squat position. got through the second set.

In8girl- how that sneaky body image snake winds his way back into our heads when we aren't vigilant. Glad you stomped him out with Linda! Love you.

JuliePlatt- way to hit a homerun. Those are great numbers!

I scaled down to 70% of the prescribed weights. I have a lot of strength to gain. I'm still pretty new to crossfit and loving every minute of it. Like an above commentor, I may make the successful completion of Linda (she's tough) as prescribed as a major personal goal. Thanks to all. I learn much every time I access the site.

If you're soar from previous days, should you just rest, do a different WOD, or go through this WOD with less weight or reps? Thoughts anyone?

Thanks!!!

Had to scale the weight in order to do all the reps. I could have cleaned the RX'd weight but was bad at math this morning lol. I did power cleans wish I would have known to do Squat Cleans.

34/F/5'10"/163 (OMG! Heavy today!)

Today I weigh almost 10 pounds more than when I’ve done this in the past.

I decided to scale up the deads and cleans but keep my bench the same, since I never seem to improve on that exercise.

Dead: 220 (+35 pounds from usual; -24 pounds from RX)
Bench: 115 (the usual; -48 pounds from RX)
Full Squat Clean: 110 (+15 pounds from usual; -12 pounds from RX)

29:55

Much more weight than ever before, and over 5 minutes faster than I’ve ever completed this workout.

*Note to self; for some reason the bench press was light today. Barely needed to break sets and NEVER needed a spot. Must use more next time.

37:58, scaled the bench to 170, otherwise as rx'd (DL 300, Clean 150).

Wow. When it was over, I fell to my knees and kissed the deck. Thank God, thank God. So hard.

A little more work on my bench and I will get this as rx'd.

middle age modification:
DL @ 115 # (80% bodyweight)
BP @ 85 # (60% bw)
clean @ 70 # (near 50% bw)

time: 23:48
the 10 and 9 round of bench were at 95#, but I didn't think I could sustain it, so I dropped to 85 for the duration

I can't do clean's because of an accident to my arm a few years ago. I can no longer fully pronate my forearm and that prevents me from doing a clean or front squat correctly. Any suggestions for clean sub? Back squat?

This is my second day of Crossfit. I've always been the bodybuilder type and considered myself to be in decent shape. Until now. This workout was great - perfect - It hits every muscle of the body and is a total mind screw...I had to scale it down just to complete all the reps. I've never been a dead lifter so I know where I need work!

#221 Playoff Beard

Cool deal on the CF Radio. We are celebrities.

Funny side note:
We had a blood draw at work today and they check all vital things (I am not sure but it's a lot of stuff). Anyway I got a call from the lab a few minutes ago very concerned. They said my glucose was very, very low and wanted to know if I am feeling well. They wanted to know how did I feel before the blood draw. I told them that I did Linda (a hard workout) about half hour before and thought I was going to pass out. She said that is not very healthy/ good. She also said that it completely depleted my glucose and wanted to know if I am eating OK. I said that I eat almost non-stop with strictly Paleo foods(then I had to explain what it is). I also stated that I have never felt better. I told her that I had an extremely fast metabolism so fasting 12 hours for me is like fasting for 24 hours. I thought the whole this was very funny. I can't wait until my yearly physical in a few weeks to talk to the doc about that, my diet and CrossFit. I'm sure I am 100% healthy.

Question on scaling: When the exercise calls for reps, like this one, should you scale to a weight that you can do all the reps in one single set (10 in this case), or go heavier to where you will have to pause to complete some of the first few sets?

Today is my B-Day and Iam spending my 25th in vegas. This WOD is awesome for my B-Day but this one is going to wait for it next time. Not cuz I don't want to do it, the trump towers don't have bar bells and free wts. Maybe next time Linda.

DO WORK!!!

31:45

I've done Linda a few times now.. the only question I have, to make sure that I do it As Rx, is if the order is critical?
Do you need to go D.L., B.P, Clean or could you go DL, Clean, BP?
I've done it as it's spelled out, but I think I like the other way better... either way it's very challenging... just as much mental as physical. I hate the end 3 rounds where you take a few seconds to get set, do the reps and then have to run to the other station, get set.. I always want to just stay and bang out like 7-8 reps and be done with the total reps required, but that's not the system... take it or leave it... I did that once when I was running out of time and still wanted to finish the reps.
I'm about 25 mins +/-.
I'd like to concentrate on my form, do it all really legit and break 25 tomorrow.
Please post if the order of the stations is critical... thanks.

Did this one at a "Gym" in Germany. Don't think they have seen much crossfit. One fellow took my bar after I tried to explain in broken German out of breath that I would only be another 3 min or so. I guess my German sucks because he took the bar when I was done with #4 and put it back on the bench, added 30 kilos did 3 reps and leaned on it talking while I finished my set. And the sun was in my eyes....

Cleans and Deadlifts was a killer. Bench was not as bad...I was able to do 5+reps every rounds. Maybe I'll up my bench to 105# next time...getting closer to doing this WOD as Rx'd.

Haven't been doint much +FIT - shoulders/knees hurting.

Thusly the very scaled back wts.

31:28 as Rx'd - nearly 6 minutes slower than last time's PR.

My back started to spaz around the round of 7 or 6 which slowed me down considerably.

Day 23 on the zone w/straight 15 blocks @ 1x fat. Even though, I'm still not all that lean (11-13% bf?), performance is starting to suck. I think I'm going to up the fat starting Monday and see if there is improvement. I've been hitting 25% under PR pace pretty regularly in the last 10 days...

The DL was very heavy for me. So other then the last 4 sets every DL was broken to usually 3 or 4. All BP were unbroken. And the cleans were sporadically broken in the 9 and 7 and 5.

#155 down to #135 near the end. Burned out on cleans for last few sets instead of finishing the workout. I was going way to slow near the end. Couldn't finish it this time. After 2 week break from moving.

oh yeah, probably 45 minutes I guess.

dl-160lb 95%bw
dbpress- 120lb 72%bw
clean- 90lb 54%bw

about 40min - sucked because I only had one bar and not enough weight for all three so had to switch the dang plates between every exercise (VERY time consuming and surprsingly tough on the back). next time I'll get the proper set up. still trashed me though. i like linda. someday rx'd.

After 3 weeks of no working out due to moving, this was a great way to force my body back into some kind of shape.

1:04--worst time I've seen so far on this message board.
DL: 225 (scaled from 275 after 1st round)
Bench: 135 (scaled from 175 after 1st round)
Clean: 135
Just switched to using this site from belonging to a local Crossfit gym, so I didn't realize they were supposed to be squat cleans, so I did power cleans.

Definitely got noticed at my new gym, probably because of the pathetic speed at which I crawled through this workout. Got chewed out for 'blocking a pathway' in the gym because they had no space for using three bars at once. Apparently the guy running the gym doesn't think people know how to step over a bar.

That was nasty, considering I did well under 1/2 of the rx wod.

Used ezcurl bar for DL as I was out of bars.
Used my kids 1" bar and weights for bench. I couldn't fit any more weight on the bar, as those plastic ones take up a lot of space.

DL was fine, maybe I could have gone a bit more on that, bench was a little too easy, but the bar was full. Clean sucked. I got better at racking near the end, but clean was the worst.

I'm very new to Crossfit. I've done a few of the scaled WODs. I did today's WOD with the weight scaled way down for each exercise, dumbbell cleans, and stopped after completing 5 reps of each exercise. I also did DLs yesterday with very light weight just to practice form, since I've never done them before and my hamstrings are very sore. Is this common or did I not do them correctly? Also, are dumbbell cleans alright, since I only have 2 bars?

m/39/73/208

First time attempting both a CF and CFE workout in the same day.

Climate: New Orleans

Time: CFE 1200-1300, Linda 1700-1730

Effort:

CFE W/U followed by:

400: 1:25, 1:41, 1:31
600: 2:20, 2:21, 2:26

Linda:

D/L: 155
BP: 155
Clean: 95

Scaled down to 225 on the deadlift.

as rx'd 39:17

could have gone quicker with a spotter.

42:15 and threw up 4 times.

m/30/215

DL - 295
BP - 215
Clean - 160

31:45

Seriously scaled this WOD. Used about 60% of the recommended weight and did fewer reps. Only the bench press was easy.

DL 80#db
BP 105#
Clean 80#

Reps: 10-8-6-6

Time: 20:24

stationed in japan so this is actually my thursday wod. 1st time w/ linda, second +fit ever so scaled down to 7-6-5-...etc

absolutely intense... loved it, i want more!!

Scaled to:

BP 85# for 16 reps and then cut back to 75#
Cleans 85#

27:26

Wow, what a way to welcome me into crossfit.... had to scale the weight down to half (don't want to start out with and injury) and still had a time of 38.03, I am 13 hours ahead because I'm deployed so i know my posts are going to be late...

43/M/145

scaled a bit

14:47

1st time with Linda. Haven't done CF in almost four months. Did as rx'd. M/33/180
DL- 270
BP- 180
CL- 135

30:07
Like #155, let time run as I ran to find gloves as callouses started to go. Had to wear ladies gloves.

This was my 4th CF workout ever. Heck of a welcome week, but I freakin' love it.

I've never worked out like this, so I'm actually still getting comfortable with the weight I can handle.

Ended up comfortable with:

DL: 205 (exact body weight)
BP: 60 lb dumbbells (couldn't get a bench at the gym)
CL: 75 (never done these before, was primarily concerned about form)

1:10 minutes. A few rests and lots of room for improvement. Bring it on.

Did two rounds (10's & 9's) in about 20 mins.

Dead lifts: 255#
Bench: 165#
Cleans: 135#

Stopped due to lower back still being sensitive from tweak on Saturday's WOD and further aggravation from baseball tourny on weekend.

Felt my dead lift form was starting to get too sloppy and lumbars were doing too much work. Looking forward to doing this wod again when back is healthy!

Note to self: Get another bar already!! (This wod is such a pain in the rear with only one bar!)

Scaled mucho on advice from experience. first time doing linda, about 2 weeks into crossfit

MGySgt. USMC M/47/6'2"/202

Linda, Yeah shes a pain and I have no room to talk. I only have just over 300 Lbs of weight so I had to switch during each event. I only did one round and ran out of time. Have to be at a soccer meeting. Yeah Yeah excuses I know, but I did the first round of 10 as Rx'd.

I may have been a bit slow in completing my one round but I am here to say that 10-20-30 years ago I was not strong enough to complete even one round. Thanks Coach, If I only knew then what I know now. ha ha ha

First time doing cleans today. Couldn't hit Rx, but powered through it all and feel accomplished. Only one bar though...ate up lots of time switching weights =/. Ended up taking about 40 mins.

Will push harder next time!

Body weight: 195
DL: 295lbs
BP: 195lbs
C: 145lbs

Time: 31:01

Had a protein shake at 5:30. WOD started at 7:30. Huge mistake! DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!

46/M/230

Had to scale down to:
Deadlift: 225
Bench: 185 (shoulder problems, haven't benched in a long time)
55 lb db cleans (to avoid having to pause to change weights on the bar)

a little under 25 minutes. Need to work on my hand grip strength... it limits me on these workouts. Awesome workout though...will work on getting weights up to prescribed amounts.

43:43

DL:225
Bench:155
Clean: 115

Only had 2 bars so I had to change weights and move between bench and cleans, so that added some time (~3-5 minutes) definitely one of the hardest WODs I've done though

f/30/140/5'8"

This one kicked my butt. I got through 10-9-8-7-6 scaled to BW 150 (I weigh 165). Full squat cleans were my downfall.

DL - 225

Time for this 29:24. I feel like I could have pushed through to the end but I'd like to be able to walk tomorrow...

35/67"/165

As Rx'd for a 200lb dude - unfortunately I'm 212:(

also I used to 70lb dumbbells for the cleans because I lacked a third bar.

DL - 300lbs
BP - 205lbs
Cleans - 140

Got halfway through the x5 round when I woke the baby up and had to quit :( I was just over 50min at that point. Morale of the story: lose some freaking weight.

This is my first Linda, So I scaled it back, but I still felt myself struggling at the start. Now that I am done, I wish I wouldn't have scaled back so much, it started off extremely difficult but got easier and easier.

CFWU

10,8,6,4,2,1
Deadlift 225
Bench Press 135
Hang Clean 115

Time: 20.23

My DL record is 325 or 330 so I thought I could do 285 easily, but it felt ridiculously heavy after just one, so I thought there would be no way I could do 29 more, so I scaled to 225. Scaled back Bench, but shouldn't have scaled it down so much, I am thinking I will do 175 next time. Clean was tough, I was cleaning with correct technique about half the time and I did a full squat clean maybe 6 times total. Will probably keep the clean at approximately the same weight until I can do a full squat clean correctly each time.

I couldn't finish this one. I did 5x5 dead lifts yesterday so I was a bit spent already for those. Made it to round 4 and had to scale DL back about 15 lbs.

This is the 1st WOD I haven;t been able to complete. Kicked my hiney pretty good. Still feel like I had one of the best WODs though even unfinished. Next time.

Used 250 lbs for Deadlift
Used 150 lbs for bench and cleans

felt good, going for the consistency, looking forward to doing things as prescribed in the future. I've hurt myself in the past going too hard before I'm ready, so I'm easing back in.

first time with this WOD and it was tough! I only have one bar so I had to change the weight between rounds (time killer)

49:15

First time in 4 years doing Linda completely as rx'd. Usually I use 225 DL's and 115-120 cleans.

Today dl 245, bp 165, cleans 125

Each Deadlift and Clean were done from a complete reset, no bouncing. Really working on my form.

Also had to rotate between 2 bars which took some time and it was hot! However, my time really ended up sucking. My BP felt good and only broke the set of 10.

135 # for deadlift, 135# for bench press, and 105# for cleans. Also, only did sets 10 thru 6.

Time: 35 min 47 sec.

Thought I was going to die. No visit from Pukie but fell once during cleans. Had to laugh at myself for that!

Trying to do this in a globo is ridic. Had to give up a squat rack at one point. Ripped a calous and bleed like a stuck hog. Ended up w/ only two bars. Got to round 2 and had the bench stolen so I gave up.

No need to start this wod until 9pm if I plan on going straight through

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of the triplet:

Deadlift: 1 1/2 body weight
Bench press: body weight
Clean: 3/4 body weight

Set up three bars and storm through for time.

BW = 215#

BP 185# = 86% BW
Clean 115# = 53% BW

Time: 39:00 min - Not bad for the 1st time!

Note: if I weighed 150#:
225# = 150% BW
185# = 123% BW
115# = 77% BW
moral is, lose some weight!

315# = 147% BW = 1 rep max DL
(also, yesterday's workout was 5x5 DL (185, 225, 245, 265, 285# followed by 4x800 row for time)

If I'd read the posts first, I might've scaled to 7-6-5-4-3-2-1. This was tough and I think I'm going to feel it for a few days.

This was the third time doing this one and I still suck. My lower back tightens up real bad when I get to the eights (due to form, I'm sure), so I slowed down just to try to losen up my back. Got through it though in about 40 minutes.

Linda as Rx (though I might scale BP next time!):
me- 70 kg

DL= 105kg
BP= 70 kg (8 total reps were assisted,thanks Scott!)
CL= 53kg
... used 2 bars and had TONS of help changing wts.

47:40

the BP was killer... aside from a few multiple reps in the first 3 rounds, I did single reps- then racked the bar to rest 20-60 seconds. 60kg would have been a reasonable wt to use.

It was great to finish... and THANKS to Scott and Kendra- it was their 8th wedding anniversary and we spent in doing Linda. Obviously they are open-minded.

Scaled to bw dead, bw bench and 3/4 bw clean.

36:21. Subtract ~3 min for moving dead/bench bar up and down.

bw ~ 75kg

deadlifts @ 115kg
benchpress @ 75kg
squat cleans @ 55kg

did 10-9-...-5 in 40min
next time i'll finish the whole thing...

48:10 as rx'd. (275, 195, 130 (2x 65# dumbbells))

Failed on the 8th rep of the 8 set on bench press, rest That was the only downfall. I sub'd dumbbell cleans for bar cleans due to a wrist injury. Did this one early July in 54 min. Felt worse on this one, but never failed on last one. 6 minutes could easily be attributed to not having to move the weights b/w DL and clean too.

“Linda”

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of the triplet:

Deadlift: 1 1/2 body weight
Bench press: body weight
Clean: 3/4 body weight

Set up three bars and storm through for time.

Pack:
Either Scale the weight back
or
Drop the sets doing 10-8-6-4-2 with the rx’d weights.

Puppies:
Scale the weight back and drop the sets as shown above.

So I scaled for weight and reps.

DL started at 205 for the first 10 reps, 8,6,4,2 were at 185.
BP was at body weight at the scaled reps.
Clean was with 45 pound bar. I’ve never done cleans before so I practiced form. I think I need more practice. The last two sets of reps were at 65.

Time: 27:30

Cashed out with

4 x 15 Squats
4 x 10 pushups
4 x 10 situps
4 x 10 dips

22 min on bike.

As Rx'd 33:04

DL 320
BP 225
PC 175

I think I pulled my brain muscle.

If you are new to Crossfit-and think this one SUCKED-dont worry-you are not alone....
I work out in a gym, where I halfway could get my hands on 2 different bars. In the start only 1 bar. This means I spent more time changing the weight than actually lifting.
My experience and advice is this: for these types of workouts, just drop them-or do the 45 reps for each exercise and time it.
Advice number 1 is of course to find a proper CF gym! Looking forward to start in Oslos first CF gym by the end of this month.

As RX'd. My weight:
DeadLift: 265
Bench Press: 175
Cleans: 135

Body weight: around 175-177

My time: 1:15:42.27

***FRAT***
Linda is a BEAST!!!

This is the worst workout I've ever done! All I was worried about was getting to the finish line.

This is my 1st WOD of this type that I actually did RX'd and then some weight! I usually scale down (especially on bench press) but not this time!!! :)

Somehow I got magically better on the bench press! How in the world?!? I suck at bench press!

I also forced myself to do full hook grip squat cleans and guess what? I got used to the hook grip! I tried once doing it without a hook grip and I didn't like it at all! Horray!!! I still need to learn how to get under the bar though...

I weighed myself yesterday:

176! Lost 10 pounds in 12 days! :) Thanks Paleo!

ALOT of time was wasted on changing collars, calling for spotters, and making sure that I had good form on the cleans. I spent ALOT of time on the cleans...

Wheights:
Deadlift - 135

Clean - 95lbs < still working on form, I don't have it quite down yet so I don't want to up the weight and hurt myself.

Any tips for better form on the cleans? I just can't seem to get that snap in, I feel like i'm muscle-ing it all the way up.

No wod for me. Still working on snatch got two small pr's last night so at least it's working.

Have not done any wods for ages. Been working on snatch technique (while we have the room), chatting and eating cream cakes (not in the gym), the sooner I go back to work the better.

My first day of X-FIT and this is how it begins? WOW! amazing feeling and a great way to start. I had to scale back a bit to 1xBW for DL, 1/2xBW for Cleans and kept the 3/4xBW for BP.

9 rep set had to dump 20lbs off DL to complete last 2 reps - 270lbs.
8 rep set scaled down to 225lbs from there on out. For me, more work in continous motion seems preferable than breaking with heavier weight. BP was the easy exercise. This is one of the most brutal xfit workouts I've done. Body will pay the price for at least 2 days. Watching Gillian do 14.59 is amazing. Don't know how sub 15min is possible, just starting my 6 rep set at 15min. Need to improve my DLs rep weight.

This WOD lived up to the hype. I had to scale during the second round to make it to work on time. Dumped 30 off of DL, 20 off of bench, and 15 off of Cleans after second set of deads.

1st time doing Linda and I was unsure I would finish. One of the hardest crossfit workouts I have encountered. The deadlift was a killer for me. I was able to do the bench press unbroken and the cleans were taking my wind but doable, but that deadlift just kept rearing its ugly head at me. I sat at a sports meeting after that for my daughter and lamented that I didn't have access to this knowledge during my own football career in high school.

First time with this. It's been a bad week, lots of work, sleeping and eating poorly, and Linda made me pay. Like sex with a supermodel, I couldn't last. 10,9,8,7...and hat to quit b/c I couldn't be late for work. DL at 205, cleans at 105, bench..on the frikkin Smith machine...at 145 (bw). Around 20 mins. Glad I attempted this, but due to lack of space and available bars, had to do the dreaded Smith. I feel like crossfitters should be like the dudes in "Office Space" with the printer...take it outside and just bludgeon the crap out of it. This could be a WOD in fact: "Destroy Smith machine, using as many tools as you are able, for time."

Cleans felt awesome, though this is minimal consolation.

On vacation, no weights. Bench is my weakest of these 3, so did the 100-pushups WOD from ringtraining.com (brought my rings along). 10 sets of 10 different pushup-related movements on rings. Some were easy, some impossible to do with full ROM for me.

Cross Fit Day #3. Did this one with a friend, it was his CF Day #1. Due to previous comments, we decided to scale back in two ways so as not to die. We scaled back weight to 145#Bench, 195#DL, 100#Clean (About .75xBW, 1xBW, and .5xBW). We scaled back reps to 7,6,5,etc...

I wish we would have started at 8 or 9 and just died, instead it felt like I didn't push myself quite hard enough.

I finished in about 14:47, he finished in 14:19.

Doing a different workout at lunch to supplement. Live and Learn. Looking forward to Linda next time.

My first time with "Linda". She is one dramatic workout! I went early to the gym and staked out a bench and 3 bars (I don't have 3 big bars at home).

Deadlift: 235# (1.5 BW)
Bench Press: 125# (0.8 BW. My 1RM is only 135#)
Clean: 115# (0.75 BW. Felt light compared to the DL and BP.)

Time: 46:04

as rx'd

255# Deadlift
170# Bench Press
132# Clean

only got to the first round of 8. On rep #3 of DL I felt my lower back really strain. Painful. Tried #4 but it wasn't going. Bad news. I did finish a set of 8 on BP before calling it a day. Maybe I should have scaled the DL.

I just started Crossfit about two weeks ago with "Fight Gone Bad." I am on travel in Bangalore India but the hotel had three bars and I tried "Linda" and it was intense. I tried a 1.5 DL nearly busted a nut and had to scale the DL to 120% BW, and Clean to about 70%. I thought I was going to die on the third round (8 reps). After that, I managed to continue and finished in 25 minutes totally wiped, with breathing rate like I'd been sprinting. Tonight I can feel the burn in my hams and glutes. This was more brutal than "Fight Gone Bad" for exertion. I'm hoping for better performance next time (but not looking forward to it!).

Break time was definitely during BP, which was the easiest of the three movements. Cleans were almost all broken into two sets except for the last few rounds. Deads were unbroken, but grip was getting slippery on the higher rep rounds.

Great WOD, tough, first time at it, so I didn't quite "storm through", just kept a steady pace throughout.

Bodyweight 68Kg

Deadlift 102,5Kg did 5 in a row till round 5.
Benchpress 67,5Kg did 3 then rest for 20sec til last 5 rounds, from then straight after each
squat clean 52,5 Kg went pretty easy, did 5 in row, then 4 in row til round 5. After that in a row.

25:39

Had to improvise Only have a 35lb KB

7 rounds of

10 KB alt arm kb deadlift
20 Pushups
10 KB Alt arm clean and squat

23:56 first time with this lady!
My ass has thoroughly been kicked!
I did Thursday's workout, the pullups, about an hour before I attempted Linda. No excuses.

I decided to give myself more of a challenge since my deadlift and bench are strong.
315 for rounds 10,9,8 of deadlift, then switched to 295 for health reasons. hahaha.
205 on bench
145 with subbed hang power cleans.

Hoping for a run tomorrow.

As Rx'd

Body wt = 185
DL: 275
Sqt cl: 135. Much better form with the mule kick downm but got tired, obviously as it went on.
BP: 185

DL was the limiting factor and bad form most of all of it. DL sets were 3's and 2s.
Sqt Clean were 4's then 3's
BP was straight through each set.
After rd of 6, at 33 min.
Finished at 51:53.
A killer workout.
Can't really imagine getting in the 30's without a massive strength improvement in dead lift. Sets of 4 or 5 could make it doable but all in all a frickn tough one. Longest workout for me other than run 6 miles.

SO hard. Deadlifts are def the main sticking point. Bench was surprisingly manageable. Just didn't want to burn out completely. Full squat cleans.

Did all rounds through 6 reps as 3 sets each, then the rest at 2 sets each. Brutal.

Okay, I have never made a comment about someones post, but #191 I would have to see that to believe it. To see that the elite in this sport aren't breaking 20 minutes you either didn't do it right or its...well you know.

I only had two bars so I had to strip my dl bar for cleans which killed my time. I used every weight I had and wanted to keep the weight on the bench press bar for time so my dl was scaled to 265lb (should have been 295). Everything else was as rx'd=42:29.

Scaled down the weight as I am just getting back into heavy weights. Scaled to 7-1 but should have done the 10-1. Playing it safe sucks. 20 min+

DL - 110%
BP - 90%
SqC - 55% - Still working on my form. Still not catching the bar cleanly, feel like I muscle it into place.

Followed up with some strict pull ups and ab work.

M/31/5'9"/152

Ooooouuuchh! First time doing Linda as rx'd. Last time, I did 80% of the rx'd weight and completed the WOD in just over 34 mins. Since I've gotten stronger in the last year, I figured I should be ready to handle Linda as rx'd.

How wrong I was!

Time: 1:46:42. Yes, that's one *hour* 46 minutes.

Only had one bar, so that definitely slowed me down a little. But mostly it was the bench press. I was essentially doing one set of two, then completing the round with single reps of bench press. Deadlifts and cleans were fine.

First time deadlifting and second time doing cleans, so I scaled this and didn't time myself:

Weights were
deadlift 185 (~bodyweight)
Bench press 135 (~75% bweight)
Clean 95 (1/2 bweight)

I went a good bit slower than I had estimated and had to stop after the round of 5's because the gym was closing, but that still means I got 45 of the 55rx'd reps of each exercise, so we'll just call that scaling as well.

A few days late but got 'er done. Scaled to make it more met-con and bring in my time around 30 mintues. 225DL, 150 Bench, 125 Clean. My b/w is 210. Time: 30:37

Several days late, but I still did it, or got close to doing it, anyway.

Started with 245 for the deads, but only did six in the first round before my lower back told me I was doing them wrong again. Dropped all the way down to 135 to work on form in the next round, then up to 185, then up to 205, and then 225 for the final six sets. The BP and cleans (power cleans) were at the rx'd weight.

Due to some newly discovered hernated discs, I had to modify this one. Weight 190

Did back squats at 125% bw (235) instead of dead lifts and power cleans instead of squat cleans.

Deadly WOD

38:51

I have been doing CF for about 5 months now, have been very pleased with my progress, but this was by far my hardest WOD as well as it being my first time attempting it. This is only the second WOD that I couldn't complete due to exhaustion/passing out.
I only have one bar which eats up time. I only completed "rep rounds" 10(8:25), 9(18:44), and 8(28:20), couldn't start the 7th. Did those 3 rounds in 28:20. Poor performance.
I also scaled the weight. My body weight is 170#. But I used:
DL=205#
BP=165#
Clean=115 (messy)
Next time scale weight for easier exercise transition due to only having one bar, and alot enough time to complete the WOD.

I started out to do the whole thing but my DL form was bad and I didn't want to scale the weight so I cut the first set down to 8 reps and decended from there in the interest of safety. My bench felt strong and the Power Cleans were pretty good. I need to work on my Full Squat Clean for next time and I am going to really focus on my DL form. Next time I don't want to scale and my weight need to be bigger. And faster. My warm up from now on will be:
10 Chest to Bar Pull Up's
5 HSPU's
10 Push ups
5 DL's
5 Cleans (squat)
5 Overhead Squats
10 Sit ups

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of the triplet:

Deadlift: 1 1/2 body weight - 270
Bench press: body weight SUB 155 pounds
Clean: 3/4 body weight - 135 SUB 95 pounds

36:04 (Power Output - 57 watts/.08 horsepower/42.04 ft-lbs/sec)
-------------------------------------------------------
Compare to 080906

Deadlift: 1 1/2 body weight - 270
Bench press: body weight - 180
Clean: 3/4 body weight - 135

79:20 (Power Output - 30.35 watts/.04 horsepower/22.39 ft-lbs/sec)

I'm kinda discouraged about this one, considering the fact that I have to DL 350# for 55 reps. Not trying to complain about the WOD, just that I'm probably (definitely) a little fat to do this one as rx'ed. Considering that I'm about 245 @ 18% BF I'm going to scale the workout back and do 82% of my body weight. That will put me at about 200#, I think I might be able to finish it at that weight.

255# DL
170# BP
135# CL

29:49 (43:47 last Sept)

7-6-5-4-3-2-1
DL: 145
BP: 115
CL: 75
About 30 min

39 minutes.

Scaled to:
BW DL - 185lb
75% BP - 135lb
75% CL - 135lb

Bench Press was too easy, the rest were spot on.
10-6 took 30 minutes.
5-1 took 9 minutes.

25:48 as rx'd. Not an exact science with weights.

DL @ 250 = slightly less than rx'd
BP @ 175 = rx'd
Cleans @ 135 = slightly heavier than rx'd

Deadlift: 275
Bench press: 185
Clean from the hang: 135

27:57

used two bars, dropped the 2ea. 25lbs plates off the bench between the sets.

F/45/125/5'2"

(we're a week off-cycle, Linda done 8/19)

used DL175#/B 115/CL 95
TIME 38:40
bench @115 was for sets 10 & 9, then dropped to 110.

I'm very okay with that!... previous Linda sept08 was 167/105/75# w/a time of 36:31.

First time at Linda, had to scale DL and BP as I still can't do those at the spec'd weight. Managed to grab 3 bars for the whole wod.

Body weight: 176(ish)

DL: 220 (1.20x BW)
BP: 132 (0.75x BW)
CL: 132 (0.75x BW)

I realize this is a little late and might not get answered but I'm a little behind. Is it a full squat clean or can you power clean?

BW 303

DL 225 (74%)
BP 135 (45%)
CL 135 (45%)

Only two bars available so I have to drop and add plates for DL and CL. Quit after round of 6 - out of time.

34 year old male 205 lbs

Deadlift-295
Benchpress-205

This was brutal. Only did through 8 reps. 31 minutes and change. Have to scale next time.

43 yom 204 lbs.

Deadlift-205
Benchpress-135
Clean-115

Did 10,9,8 and had to skip to 4 and then had to stop. 36 minutes

Like kgw posted above, have to scale back next time.

This is probably the hardest exercise I've done since I started Crossfit.

DL-265
BP-175
Clean-135
Did full sq cleans for first time. Not bad. Hook grip then get weight on tips of fingers for cleans. Little wider land helps on squat portion. DL mostly unbroken. Bench all unbroken.
9/6: 29:25

41m/205/75.5"

severely modded Linda:

205# deadlift 7-6-5-4-3-2-1
pushups 14-12-10-12-9-6-20
back squats 135# 7-6-5-4-3-2-1

untimed but about 22 min

not possible to sequester 3 bars + 1 bench at the Globo Y, and I am not ready for doing cleans at any meaningful weight; I meant to do the squats explosively as a sub, but didn't; this weight was too light; pushups were too easy of a sub; deadlift was on the light side but still challenging - no broken sets
