Nice one!

Are we supposed to alternate arms or just do everything twice?

#2 find someone who has some dumbbells (if you don't) borrow them and then do pull ups on a playground. That's what I do.

Ignore my question, I read clean and jerk but my mind was just thinking snatch for some reason.

Sidelined with injury of my right shoulder, Ortho in 2 weeks
WOD: physical therapy for right shoulder and 20k Kettlebell C & J with my left

Are these single arm dumbell clean and jerks? Alternating arms for the reps?

If we don't have access to 65lb dumbells, would a 2 pood kettlebell be a decent substitute?

That sucks Steven!

Best thing I did was build my own home gym.

Will have to use 35# dumbbells, the largest I have...

Split jerk, power jerk, or either one?

Can u Kip on the weighted pullups or are they supposed to be done dead-hang?

Thanks

Sunday musings...

1) Escalator (Courtesy of "Lovely Daughter). Why is it that they put a closed sign in front of an escalator when it's not working? Doesn't seem to make much sense, does it? I mean, a broken escalator is just a staircase, isn't it?

Seems like instead of putting a "sorry for the inconvenience" sign and something blocking the way, there should be a "escalator out of order -- please take stairs" sign.

2) 800 M standard. Didn't I read once upon a time that Coach said that one version of an athletic standard would be an 800 m runner? The 800M run has become more of a sprint than a "middle-distance" run. More muscular, stronger athletes running on their toes for pretty much half a mile.

Not only that, but it seems as though many of our most famous benchmark workouts occur pretty much in the 800M time frame. Fran, Diane, Grace, all seem to be done by the best Crossfitters in pretty much the same amount of time they probably run 800M.

I'm not really sure why, but I was thinking about this during yesterday's running WOD.

3) Downhill flow. You know that expression, "stuff" flows downhill? I ran into that during the preparation for a speaking engagement in Hartford this past week. My travel arrangements were an absolute mess. So messy, in fact, that I probably should have just canceled the engagement. Without question, after became clear that I was going to have to cancel my office schedule, I should have canceled my trip.

Well, why didn't I? It turns out that the person who was going to take the hit for this planes, trains, and automobiles fiasco was the lowest person on the totem pole of the company for whom I was speaking. The local rep would have taken the fall, even though she had performed her duties as prescribed. "Stuff" flows downhill, and it was clear to me that the "stuff" was going to land all over her. it just didn't seem right, browned off as much as I was, that the only person who actually did her job in the process should be the only person who received any negative consequences for the screwup. I canceled my office and got on the plane.

It's really amazing how often we face situations just like this in all walks of life. The kitchen throws the waitress under the bus and sends out the wrong meal. The cab driver gets stuck behind a huge accident on the way to the most important meeting of the year. Stuff like that. We get disappointed, or inconvenienced, or outright wronged, and to our ever-loving frustration the person responsible for all of that ISN'T right in front of us.

But someone is. Some poor so-and-so is right there, right when we need someone to go off on. Someone is ever so conveniently placed in position to take the heat even though he or she had nothing to do with the ambush. It's oh so easy; they're right there in front of you.

Except they're not. It's not really them. Not only must we resist the temptation to unleash unfocused anger or frustration, it's probably necessary for us to make an effort to protect that poor soul. Not only from us but probably also from the incompetents north of her on the food chain. It can be hard. Man, it would just feel so good... but we can't. We need to get on the plane.

4) Neighborhood. On that same plane I read a book review in USA Today. A guy was living in a neighborhood for 15 years, a neighborhood that was shaken when a murder- suicide occurred two houses down. No one saw it coming. In fact, no one really knew the family that met such a tragic demise. The author actually grew up in the same neighborhood. He remembered knowing everyone on his street when he was a kid. What happened?

Do you live in the neighborhood? What's your neighborhood like? If you were to stroll down the street how many families could you name? How many kids do they have? What kind of jobs? What are they into? Do the kids play soccer, or baseball? Is it a house full of ballerinas? Do any of the other neighbors ever ask about those weird iron balls with handles lying around the driveway?

Modern life has turned us inward, not only on a personal level (after all, I'm sitting here talking to my computer while the rest of my family waits for me to start a movie), but on a macro level as well. We have all moved indoors. Think about it. That person who strolls by with her dog every day at 5:30 -- what's her deal? That big group of kids on mountain bikes all dressed exactly the same at 7:45 AM, what school are they off to? You used to know that when you were a kid. Heck, if you didn't, your parents can still probably tell you everything about every family 20 houses on each side of your house. On both sides of the street!

It's Easter Sunday today. It's gonna be a really nice day. Heck, it's going to be 75 and sunny in Cleveland. Get outside. Talk to your neighbors. Ask about their kids. Complement their landscaping. You live in the neighborhood. Be a good neighbor.

Happy Easter.

I'll see you next week...

"hehe" is all I got to say on weighted pullups =)
First 3 sets of pullups non-assisted. everything else assisted.

Nice video Pat. Keep up the great work.

Finally a video with something other than the oh-so-annoying scream rock.
Thank you.

Full squats on the C&J?

BINGO YOU ARE THE MAN.

SO, With 60 pound dumbells I might be able to complete this but it is going to take me an eternity, i will say maybe 40 minutes or maybe more than 40, if you were in my position would you go with the 60 pound dumbells and take a while doing it, would you go with the 45 pound dumbell, it might take roughly 20 to 30 minutes, or would you storm through with the 25 pound dumbells?

SANTI

someone have a vid for the dumbell clean and jerk pls?

SANTI
From what I've gathered from the pros on facebook you lower the weight on days that say "for time" so that you struggle but can do it in a reasonable about of time, it's not a strength day persay.

Also join the facebook group

anyone have a substitution for weighted pullups i cant do these at home and the gym is closed.

Bingo,

Hope you enjoy your movie with your family.

To the 800m run I think we could add the 2000m row as an athletic standard created by conventional sport. When I first discovered crossfit and read the part of "What is Fitness?" dealing with metabolic pathways it seemed to me that 6.5 minutes of flat out rowing hit the mark (after the 20th stroke you feel as though you've done a set of cleans and then its just a matter focussing your fight-or-flight reflex for the next 6 minutes - that's what endless training is directed at - teaching you the pain you can handle, convincing you that within 6 1/2 minutes there is no limit to the amount of pain you can handle - with that knowledge you will fight instead of flee.

My neighbourhood is not one. People live here on the way to living somewhere else (myself included), and there is not a dwelling with a ground-level entrance for at least two miles in any direction. Some infants. Few kids. Many small dogs. More seattle-based franchise coffee shops than piano teachers. Over 5000 households with average annual income of150k+ (last census) and not a single book store, not a single library, 1 primary school, 1 baseball diamond, 1 basketball court. My neighborhood is my spouse (it's getting bigger, she's due in August).

Bingo! I'll never be able to look at an escalator the same way.
They close them when they stop because the start and finish treads are not the same hieght, and we the people of grace and dignity eat sh1t when the treads are not equal.

Happy Easter to all my CrossFit neighbors, see ya on the floor tomorrow.

Whooo!
This looks like a beast can't wait to run through this wod

Question about multiple WOD competitions....

The New England sectionals ran 4 events. Was that over one day? If so, what does this say about the main-site WOD program? Is the crossfit competition community signalling that to be an elite crossfitter a person should be doing multiple WODs daily? Or, is the mulitple daily WOD a tool for measuring overall fitness in a competition setting....the idea being that a person can DEVELOP overall fitness by doing 1 WOD per day, but that MEASURING that fitness will require mutlitple WODS?

Is recovery a measure of fitness? I guess it must be since the competition WODs involve multipe rounds in which athletes often (almost always) fail and then must continue. But once one competition WOD is done and the clock has stopped, the fact that there is another competition WOD scheduled for an hour or two later seems to create a situation in which the competition clock continues to run even though the athletes are "resting"...the tick-tock of recovery outside of a timed WOD is, in effect, being being "counted" towards a person's final competition score.

Hey,

I'm a newcomer to the whole diet plan thing. I want to try the zone, but I'm having trouble finding good recipes, especially ones that I can take to work for lunch and for snacks. Can anyone help me out here please?

Email me if you have some recipes or tips.

I'm new and I am working. Diet is my biggest problem right now though. I'm terrible at it and any help would be appreciated.

Bingo-thank you! My new neighbors moved in nearly 4 months ago but I couldn't tell you what they even look like. My parents still live in the home I grew up in, most of the neighbors have moved, some have passed, but the ones that are still there will always be family to me!
Happy Easter all! Big huge FRAT hugs to my Frat fam!

I wish the new England girls had something to say... I love accents.

no weight on pull-ups, recovering from injury

Question:
Does anyone else find placing the dumbbell on crossed ankles causes a pronounced level of discomfort?

My Fix:
I place the dumbbell between my upper legs just above the knee, then cross my legs, and bend them slightly once I'm on the bar. This helps prevent sliding, and for those who like to kip with weight, it seems to stay a little more stable, no swinging or torquing going on at the end of my legs.

Any other methods people would like to share?

I was just wondering on my drive home from work and after doing a few of the workouts this past week, "Has anyone tried to do an L-muscle-up?" I'm sure that a few people could do them but they would be the elite of the elite. If anyone has, give a shout out, maybe post a video.
Jon Davila

Unfortunately I bit off a bit more than I could chew w/ the 45 DBs.

30:20, DNF

I made it through the 8 pull-ups and called it a day since my elbow was aggravated.

My Max PU is 100.

Since I know a ton of you guys are going to have times in the low teens, I am wondering what your 1RM Max pull-up is. And how do you guys get through it so fast (cuz people smoke every workout CFHQ throws at us)?

Thanks and good luck!

#27 - Yes, I've done L-mups. The hardest point is when you are making the transition from pullup to dip, without dropping the feet below horizontal. Good times. Give it a go. If you can do deadhang mups you can probably do an L-mup after a few days of trying. Have fun.

Well Done, Rob! Hit it hard @ Regionals...

For the DB C&Js, Do you hold them both in an overhand grip as if you were holding a bar, or neutral grip with palms facing inboard?

And it's both DBs at the same time, right?

Thanks.

Good Job Butler!!! Happy Easter to all!!! Thanks Bingo!

If it doesn't say "Power," it is, by default, "Squat". "Clean" always = Squat. "Squat Clean" is redundant.

Lewis Dunn,

New voice recognition dictation system, 2nd musings using it. Got a little lazy in the editing, I admit.

However, now that I look again, if my landscaping COMPLEMENTS my neighbors, am I not also then COMPLIMENTING them as well? A linguisic "two-fer"?

To all wondering about the clean and jerks, I plan to do hang cleans and get them overhead either with push jerk or split jerk.

I can't say I know for sure if that is what the coaches intend, but that is my strategy, and it is what has been relayed to me in the past for similar main site WODs.

In terms of pullups, I think they are supposed to be strict, but I could be wrong. Also, I prefer to use a weight belt (the only time I use one anymore!) and just strap on some weight plates. Totally comfortable and convenient.

Have a great WOD everyone! This one is going into my WOD database and I will do it later and post my time. Every second counts. Get some!

Okay...so I don't have dumbbells in the Blackmon CF Box of pain (my garage that is) so I decided that the Speal vs. Kalipa workout from a couple of weeks ago would create a similar stimulous. Of course that is only if the sought after stimulous was absolute nausea and snot blowing muscle fatigue. Anyways, I'm pretty sure I did the round 4 twice and I may have actually seen little green birds flying around my head when I finished.

Just in case you don't know which workout I'm talking about, here it is...

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of 155lb Clean and Jerk with a Cindy round (5 x pull ups, 10 x push ups, 15 x squats) in between each set. Actually I did it backwards, I think it was supposed to go 1-10 but either way same amount of work.

24:00 was my time, which again reinforces that Speal and Kalipa are absolute freaks!

NEVER QUIT!

Hey Kevin! Hope you are well. I have used a Valeo weight belt, loosening it abought as far as the belt will allow, enough to slip a dumbell into it then secure the clasp and then hang the belt over your hips with the weight between the legs works well.

Used a 16kg Kettlebell for the C&J's and Burpees(yay burpees) instead of pull ups (no bar today)

No Wod for me. Did week 3 of 5-3-1, s/p and b/s. Then OHS up to 45kg wanted to try 50kg but a bit unsure of getting the bar overhead without injury to myself or damage to rack.

Away on holiday for 2 weeks, taking my bar and plates with me, (more strange looks). Peace and quiet for Pedro and Tommy with no moaning, bitching, whining or blonde moments for a couple of weeks. Enjoy the silence.

Went tonight to see Theory of a Deadman a Canadian band, playing in Glasgow. Fantastic

Good Fun

Full squat cleans and push jerks; pull-ups with weighted dip-belt. Not much in the tank going in to today's WOD. Could have used 65# DBs for the C&Js (if I had them), but 45# was just right for the pull-ups. Those became really difficult towards the end!

I did C&J with 65's, but only one PU with the 65# dumbell. The knurl tore up my calf! After that fiasco I went to unweighted pullups with the same weight for C&J's. Still wrecked me. Nice big bruises on my delts, lol. My wife rolled her eyes when I got home.

Did a bar muscleup at the beginning of each set of pullups. Ex.

not a perfect sub but it still wore me out.

Bad footwear choice for this WOD (five-fingers) and short pull-up bar didn't help either.

Made this one up today. Couldn't do it as rx'd...I started with 45 for the db c&j and 15 for the pull ups, knowing I wasn't going to be able to get through all the pull ups. I rationalized that for every lb I dropped on the pull ups, I'd add to the c&j.

I completed the wod in 44:23.

During the round of 4 & 7 I went to 47.5 and 12.5.
During the round of 3 & 8 and every round following I did 60 and bw.

Still a killer, my lats are gonna be sore tomorrow.

As rx'd with 40# dumbbells - heaviest I have at home, but I could not have gone much heavier and still had a decent time. Time: 22:14.

Was shooting for sub-20. I knew the weighted pull-ups would slow me down at the end, but I had hoped to make up some time early on with the C&Js. However, the C&Js were taking almost a full minute and I was sucking wind by the second round. I hate weighted pull-ups with dumbbells - I think I have tried every position to hold that damn dumbbell, and they all hurt like a mother. Switched to chin grip near the end - this seemed to help get me through the pullups.

45# DB's for Pullups, Rounds 1-4. Then had to start removing weights off the DB's to go down to 25# for the pullups...took way to much time for sets 5-6. Then found a 30# DB and did sets 7-10 with that one.

Tore my right tricep muscle at the dirty south sectionals. This was my first Pull-up WOD in over a month. A little sore afterwards, but not too bad this evening. Healthy I would have went heavier. C&Js were unbroken except for the round of 8 for some crazy reason. In my mind I was thinking this WOD would have been harder. I should have gone heavier on the C&Js at the very least. Ah well. I'm glad I didn't push so hard that I re-injured my arm though.

I used 25# dumbbells, which I thought would be light, but which almost caused me to pass out. I've been out for awhile with tendonitis, and it really showed today. I had to break up the DB C+Js almost immediately, and had to break up every round of pull-ups after 4 reps. Also, I had to resort to jumping pull-ups for the last three rounds (8, 9 and 10 reps) because the tank was empty. Great workout, not exactly a great result.

45 would have been plenty.

Started with 25 pounders...too light.

Tried 45 pounders...too heavy.

Settled on 30 pounders which felt light for the clean jerks but sets of 6 pull-ups and up were broken.

Done after the row/DU/burpee WoD, thought it would be a hell of a lot easier than it was. Left knee, feet and arms started hurting by round 6 and I thought about throwing the towel in, but managed to finish.

Wow, i was really dreading doing this today. I've been putting it off for a really long time. Clearly i didn't bring much to the table today comparing my times to everyone else. Absolutely terrible.
Everything felt like slow motion, especially the pullups at the end. My forearms and grip feel pretty fatigued right now and that did become somewhat of a limiting factor in later rounds.

CLEARLY a lot of work to do on this one and plenty of room for improvement. VERY disappointed with my performance.
