I knew some kind of pressing was coming up!

And...that is one HUGE A$$ tree!! How awesome is that!!

Finally, my kind of picture! That tree is awesome!

And I was just thinking about how I can't do any overhead or lifting, due to my messed up back. Dove off a cliff last week, the day after I PRed on the 5x5 deadlift day, and hyper extended my back when I hit the water... poor diving form I guess. Definitely in not going to press the issue... No pun intended.

I think I may have to sub with a bench press unfortunately.

Go Navy!

looks like a good workout for a super hot day in our garage gym.

I'll make sure I warm up with some double-unders so next time I do today's workout, I can do more than 1 in 2 minutes.

RATB's say dang this has been quite a challenging 3 days...im still smoked from last 3 days.but up for the challenge anyways..probaly goin to add a 10km run afterwards or couple sprints up my new hill named old glory..

late on yesterdays WOD. had to count, keep time and write myself so i lost some time to that.

1. 94/75
2. 62/52
3. 51/38
4. 27/20

looks good to me. 3-2-1 GO!

Made the PVC rings ... good enough for garage gym.

Holy cow, how does one hang from a false grip? Especially someone over 225#

Thought I was going to break my wrists, and they slip right off with any weight applied.

I can't even do a standing row, let alone hang or do a pullup.

looks like fun...tree and the WOD

#12 MarkM

I remember feeling the same way when I got my rings a few months ago. Try athletic trainer's tape until you get the feel for the grip. I weigh 210, and I got my first muscle up shortly after applying the tape to the rings.

Sorry, last post was meant for #11 Mike.

Yes! 1st day of overhead in the new gym :D

Can't do push press with a bb due to wrist injury, is it better to do it standing with db or sitting and back supported?

I see 200, 225, 235, 245, 255, 265, 295. 3 2 1 Go.

Hey I just posted this same thing on xfit football, but I'll ask here too. The xfit football has a 20 yard bear crawl in it and there's no place to do that at the globo-gym I workout at, is there any known sub for a bear crawl?

Got my first 2 ring muscle ups 2 days ago while warming up for ryan. Could have done some more, but probably not enough for the whole workout. Did bar muscle ups instead. 16:45. From now on, ring muscle ups all the way. I was pretty stoked about them. Nobody saw me do the first one and I was yelling "Look ! I did it! I did it!" and my partners said to do it again, so I got the second one no problem. Crossfit kicks butt.

That's one big friggin' tree!

Hi everyone, I need some help with my set up on the row machine. I watched the video of Todd vs the Row and thought I'd give it a try. I started out great, but than ran into the same problem Todd did and I kept pushing myself right off the seat. Therefore, I'm not sure if I can fix the problem with moving my feet up in the foot plates, which I had on position 1. Or will it help if I keep the handle higher and the chain in a straighter line. If anyone could help I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Hi, I would like to know the Rx, rest time between sets? thanks to all.

hmmm I don't know about this one... so since this is max weight I keep going until failure correct? well I just think that failing in the middle of a push press is a little dangerous... anyone got any advice to keep me from injury?

#24

Take as long as you need. The most common answer you will hear around here is 2-5 minutes.

Can anyone clarify the difference between a thruster and a push press?

Todd versus the Rower

Wow! Did that pass everyone by! I saw so few comments regarding that impressive piece I just had to call it out!

Want to know if Crossfit is effective GPP? Watch the video from yesterday (8/16)then compare to the following World record times I got from the Concept 2 website (www.concept2.com).

Men Age 19-29
1:13.7 Heavyweight (> 165lbs)
1:23.7 Lightweight (< 165lbs)

Men Age 30-39
1:14.4 Heavyweight
1:24.5 Lightweight

(I included both Hwt.and Ltwt. and both age groups because I'm a terrible judge of both age and weight. Todd might be on the cusp of either or both. I believe I got the gender category correct (subject to independent verification)

Todd did the 500M piece in 123.9 after a few minutes of expert instruction. WHAT??? That is just crazy good and I had to point it out. Awesome job Todd!

Hi Joey, I almost got the 195

Jay:
Failing in the middle of a PP shouldn't be dangerous. If you have bumpers let em' drop, problem solved. If bumpers aren't available than make sure you absorb the load with your legs as it comes back down. If you're pressing some real big numbers than I would say it's always better to let the equipment take the impact than your body. If you're worried about safety then just dump it. Hope that helps.

***Noob Post***

If you are new to Crossfit, this may seem odd. "What the heck does 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 mean anyway? Not to worry. I'm here to help.

The purpose of today's WOD is to find your 1RM (one rep maximum) push press and we're going to make 7 attempts to do it. If you are not familiar with the push press, go to the exercises and demos section over on the left side of the page for some video instruction. It's a beautiful, natural and simple multi-joint movement. just bend the kness for the dip and then drive that barbell overhead using power from those groovy hips you've got there. Yeah, I said groovy. I'm watching the Woodstock 40th anniversary special on the History Channel as I type. It's far out man.

On to the WOD...

First, start with a thorough warmup of your shoulders and back. I cannot stress this enough. Do NOT rush through this workout. Do some pass throughs with a dowel. A few Samson stretches and some push ups wouldn't hurt either. Then do some presses and push presses with an empty bar. Don't wear yourself out, but do make sure you're good and warmed up.

Ok, so it's time to do your first rep. If you already know your current 1RM, do rep number 1 at approx. 80% of that weight. For instance, my push press is about 170#. So I'll start with 145# or so. That's just me, start with a weight you know that you can safely lift. If you don't know your 1RM, take a guess. You'll find out where you are pretty quickly.

From there, increase the load for each successive rep until you fail to achieve a fully locked out and stable position at the top. The last successful rep you do is your 1RM! Exciting huh? I'm gonna hit my bodyweight of 180# tomorrow, I can feel it :-)

Again, this is not a workout that you should rush, take your time! Warm up and spend a good 3-5 minutes between lifts. You should be completely rested and ready to give each lift 100% of your effort. Also, make sure to record the results so the next time this WOD comes up, you'll have a number sitting there just waiting to be crushed.

I hope this makes sense. Happy lifting, be safe...and stay away from the brown acid.

Always love the strength workouts...
Warmup: Pullups, GHD Situps, Back Extension, Pushups 2 sets of 10.

Pushpress in lbs: 157, 168, 179, 190, 201, 212, 223 (fail), 212, 212.

@ #27 - Dave:

a thruster goes all the way down to a full squat before standing up and going overhead. for the push press you just slighly bend you knees to generate some momentum, and then press.

I did this on the same bar as my coach/gym owner who is pressing up to 225....

#43:
preform the PP from the front squat (Rack) position - not only is this a major progression to learning/perfecting the jerk but it can be dangerous to press from behind your neck.

This doesn't seem like much compared to what is normally shown. Is there a cardio piece to this as well, or just 7 1 rep sets?
Thanks,
Craig

Noob post is hung up in the filter...

Craig,

heavy lifting days are an important part to CF - and one rep max play a key role in developing strength.

most of my clients feel the same way you do about days like this - they want more.... but it is good to let parts of your body rest on days like this.

but don't get me wrong = 1x7 should be hard! every time you grip that bar it should be the hardest thing you have ever done! intensity should be found in a 2 sec push press, but commonly only found in a 4 min fran.

#42, David

My girlfriend and I have been talking about that Time article for a few days now and how disappointing it is that the health dialogue in this country features losing weight as the top priority. The article is largely true, but the take home message for most readers is "stop exercising, it won't help you lose weight so it's useless".

Also, was anyone else confused about Natalie's squat form in the video today? I know o-lifters rarely have textbook form, but what she showed in the drill was worse that what she does when she competes.

I'm seriously considering going cold turkey, hardcore PALEO. I've been 70-80% paleo for about 2+ years. I'm a type 1 diabetic, which makes it more challenging, I often have to use juice or milk to correct my BG, and sometimes just straight hard candy if that's what's handy. I cheat with peanut butter w/chocolate chips, and for a few months I was eating ice cream about 4 times / week. Due to some household influence I was also eating bread about twice / week. I love milk, yogurt, cheese, sour cream, cream cheese; I drink my coffee zealously with milk / latte, so this is a big issue.

Whose fault is this new interest in cleaning up my pseudo-Paleo diet?

I BLAME JAKERS.

Regarding the TIME article, one thing glaring to me is that the author viewed his weekly workout routine as agonizing and Puritanical punishment. This could be a large part of the problem. I believe those who can confuse working out with playing will see improved body composition/health relative to those who see working out as work. The former you do for fun, the latter you must be paid for (with a donut or some other reward).

And, having grown up in the ghet-toe (Newark, NJ) and now working in the ghet-toe (Paterson, NJ) yes, dumping weights on old tires... Ghetto! Luv it. Is it as ghetto as me stapling a fallen hem on my skirt at work the other day? LOL or using gorilla glue on a broken 3" heel (also at work)

ha ha... You're right, that does sound like a tasty treat! Day 12 of paleo for me, and last night was the first night this week that I didn't dream of junk food.... Pizza, garlic bread, and choclate glaezed donut holes(my better half is expecting our boy any day now, and this was one of her most recent treats). Anyhow, I was at 175 lbs today after the wod...

Very bummed about my SP. No progress in 6-8 months. Everything else better by leaps and bounds, what am I doing wrong here?

Some pretty ugly cleans, if I cleaned them up I could probably do all rounds 100 or above. Unfortunately my gym doesn't have any dumbells between 60 and 100, so I think 120 is going to be the max for a while.

#188, Thanks for the thought SLP! I have considered doing that, and might do a modified form of it in the fall. I don't think the exact same protocol would work, but a variant of it might. Hmmmmm (putting on my programming hat). It's just weird because even my pathetic OHS has improved a lot, but this one overhead lift hasn't budged. I think this fall will have to be an "overhead fall" - lots of sp, pp, pj, handstands. All the scary stuff.

By the way, the one world squat challenge ended well - I decided to see what my max reps would be for bodyweight, got 30 and decided to declare victory and move on to other lifts. I didn't get very good results out of the bench press, though. Have you continued to experiment with this?

Eric Gohl strong work! Putting up a pr after that many reps is great! Enjoy your rest day!

Push press 75-85-90-95-100-110-115f
I think I finally figure out how to be fast! I think I would have gotten 115 if it was earlier but never done a one rep max push press.
Last push press for two reps was 85. Pretty sure 110 is the most I have ever had overhead and it felt really fast and strong!!!

Then 7 rounds of 7 14 lb medicine ball squat cleans and 7 wallballs

Wallballs are getting better one day at a time!

taken from a very informative article on steroids on tmuscle.com

TM: I see. Is that why they say CrossFit makes women hot and men small?

C: I like CrossFit for the average woman. It gets them doing real lifts and forces them to work hard. Unfortunately, other aspects of CrossFit are completely retarded.

stings a little, to hear the greatest fitness program ive ever participated in spoken of negatively, but what ya gonna do.

unfortunately another pro/con vote from the tmuscle guys

Was doing these without a power cage or racks so I had to deadlift, clean, and then do pushpress. Which is fine until I get over 135 I start having issues cleaning properly. But I believe 165 is a PR anyway, for both clean and pushpress.

New to CF (one month) and I think I did these wrong. I thought the "one rep max" meant the absolute most that could be lifted in one rep, so I didn't go up in weight on each lift. Took a couple lifts to find my "max" and I later tried -- unsuccessfully -- to go up a bit more.

Instead of the prescribed workout for Tuesday, I did the following due to injury:

Back Squat 3x5
275# (wasn't sure the depth was good, but was working at the edge of my ability, so lowered the weight for the next two.
255#
255#

This is less than I once was able to do, but not bad considering my last 1RM was 295#. However, I will have to squat more often.

First time doing max push press (or anything max overhead), felt I could have gotten heavier, but slightly afraid of that much weight overhead.

Have not done any pp for months. Gym was soooooo quiet, had the place to myself, all the guys were away watching a football match. No gabbing!!

Was delighted with PP until I saw some other posts by women who are lifting so much more and weigh so much less than me. Quite an inspiration.

Worked on Form.

so I'm here cause I'm pretty stoked. So I have been trying to find what kind of fitness program produces the best performance based results for 9 years now. My sucesses with crossfit have been unreal but alot of "haters" have said that my gains are impossible and that they feel like they could do better with other things. Well tonight one of the soldiers who I train had a pr of 155 on push press. His old PR was 95. That was two months ago. We worked on technique mostly tonight and worked everyone up to their 1RM just once. I train 7 other soldiers and just about every one of them suprised themselves once we addressed issues with their form. Most of the soldiers I am currently training have little to no weightlifting experience. Everyone who has been with us has been more motivated more competitive and more eager to train. This is including one soldier who used to be the laughing stock of the platoon. He is now applying himself in ways no one ever expected from him. Anyway I'm rather excited with whats going on. We do have alot of opposition on this fob. Like one SSG who was trying to tell a SPC who trains with us not to do sumo deadlifts because they are unsafe. That SPC has the best form I have ever seen. Many people give us evil glares from the isolation machines while we knock out kipping pull ups. I was told to stop cheating myself the other day by a SFC and wasn't allowed to explain the kipping pullup and it's benefits. We will continue to work hard and reap the benefits though.

Buy-in 60 minutes of spin

This was my first time doing a push press. Matter of fact I hadn’t done a shoulder press yet either. But I did watch all the videos on press progression on the crossfit journal. So I warmed up with 10 shoulder presses with a 45# bar. Then I went on to the WOD:

aside from warm ups with cardio and lighter weight to start out the first 3 were easy. been crossfitting on and off for the last year and recently more consistent. i do not have access to bumper plates(yet)and i feel like i'm wasting some energy by not being able to drop the weight on this wod. i think 235+ will come, but feel like controlling the weight back down is preventing that. any thoughts?
