YEAH BABY

Rob Orlando Is a BEAST! that just fired me up!

Rob Orlando is truly inspirational. Keep it up brother. You keep me going.

any ideas on a sub for the L sit?

My low back just twisted in a knot after seeing tommorows WOD. I cant wait to do this at the gym, Im proly going to get a couple of WTF looks.

DO WORK!!!

Tuck sits! As a progression, stick one leg out one at a time, alternate.

orlando is a monster!!!!
anyone have any idea what his diet is like ???

Rob your a beast man!

And I am laughing at you, Comment #3, for failing to give credit where credit is due.

What Rob Orlando did is insanely impressive, hands down.

@8

Yeah, he eats barbells and spits atlas stones.

Can someone please explain this workout to me?

Nate Beard is also one strong man but being that strong you always give up something....it seems to me Rob is alot more well rounded this year AND still strong as hell....1st place....nuff said

does it matter if the L-sit is done on parrallettes or a pullup bar?

"feet unanchored with soles together"

Soles together as in how you have your legs when doing a seated groin stretch? Or should this read feet / ankles together?

I was thinking I need some back work, tomorrow I will need it in a different way, probably chiropractic, I hurt good

This should be fun, especially after Fran.

15, seated groin stretch style. also called unanchored "butterfly" sit-ups. you could check out rob orlando's gym website, maybe they post diet stuff there???

What's a good morning?

Bob- soles of the feet are together, like when doing a groin stretch. Throw your arms forward as hard as you can to help bring your body up. Use momentum.

Julie- Put the bar on your shoulders, keep your legs straight, and bend at the waist to 90 degrees and come back up. Your legs and back never bend, only your hips do.

Jnel- I think parallettes are best, but use whatever you got.

Good luck everyone! Hooyah Never Quit

What does "minimize rest over speeding the movement" mean?

Instead of trying to be faster by doing the movements faster, be faster by not resting as much.

And holy core day folks!

@ #12 - go to youtube and type in each exercise

WTF is a Good Morning!? I'm guessing it doesn't involve a large dose of coffee...

#25: Think Standing back extension w/barbell on shoulders. Youtube it for sure.

I sure hope I don't see any times posted less than 3 minutes!

I've been CrossFitting for over five years now. I check the main site three to four times a day and I've got to say that while I've seen some amazing stuff posted, that is potentially the single most inspiring and badass effort I've ever seen. Those are screams of pure pride of accomplishment. That was absolutely incredible.

I was there for the regionals to witness the 300x3...i must say spectating has definately motivated me again to train harder and tighten up my diet

Rob, you are a freak of nature and truly inspirational. Best of luck to you in California this year.

Wow. Rob O video...sick

That vid makes me wanna WOD it up right now! can't wait for wednesday.

Rob is beastly strong and friendly & genuine.

He was UH-MAZING to watch all weekend long in Albany.

And, every athlete that put themselves out there were fantastic to compete with and cheer for all wrapped in one!

ROB, when i grow up I want to be just like you!!! Amazing...

Troy/m/39

The workout looks fun!

Is the situp suppose to be harder/easier with the abmat, or does it help to work other muscle groups?

what scares me the most is Rob Orlando weighed in close to 185lbs....BADASS!

Would a folded towel make a good Abmat?

I should probably read the whole workout to get my answers from now on. Forget previous post.

rob is a freak. but i have to admit, jessica pamanian's lift of 170 to overtake heather was just as exciting, as was the triplet where they went back and forth and ultimately finished in a tie. i'm hoping to see footage of both!!

It's awesome to see the beast unleashed. Don't see him amped like that much.

Rob is a monster!!! Top five in July for sure.

I puked a little when I re-read the WOD.

Well done Rob

WOW

The guy in the black shirt is a beast! He survived the 'hug' from rob! :-)

Pretty impressive stuff from Rob. I'm looking forward to see him matched up against Drew Canavero of Reno, NV. It should be a battle. I just wish I was a little bigger so I would have a chance to compete with these guys but being 5'6" 153 isn't enough to hang.

#45 don't sell yourself short. there are plenty of 70kg lifters that C&J over 300lbs. Some even snatch over 300!

3 rounds for time of:
60 secs L-sit
30 good mornings,45lb bar
60 abmat situps unanchored
30 supermans holding 25lb

Very,very slow! Not a strong day for me. Not sure if the weighted supermans were a good sub for the back extensions? Almost went with 95lb stiff legged deadlifts instead. Anyone know if thats a good sub to try in future please?

3 Rounds for time of:

60 sec L-sit (sub Knee tuck on dip station)
30 Good Mornings - 45lb bar
60 abmat sit-ups (soles together)

L-sits make me wanna cry.

What you can't really see in this video is that the entire event STOPPED! The music went off, the other judges and competitors all stopped and watched this Beast of a man (who had already won with his 285 lift) make a HUGE statement...I was proud to be there in the front row with the rest of my Harlem crew. And as an aside, he won 3/4 of the events this weekend, not just the "heavy" stuff so lets give this man some much deserved credit.
@#39 I agree watching Jess and Heather literally jockey back and forth for first place on that WOD was amazing and I do hope they get that footage up. Both amazing women...

Can I use rings on the L-Sits?

roughly 30 minutes, 60 sit-ups were tough and consumed the most time

"minimize rest over speeding the movement"

If the intent is to reduce the amount of rest during the WOD by slowing the movements a tad during execution to try and avoid the rest breaks, shouldn't this read maximize rest over speeding the movement?

Please clarify. Thanks.

was waiting to see this video - saw it up close and personal, the crowd was going crazy and everyone, even other athletes competing stopped to watch. best moment of the weekend. Close second was the women's triplet finale both were inspiring.

As rx'd (though L-sits magically transformed to tuck sits at the end...) 23:54

@Glenn #58 - On many CF workouts, improving your time comes as a result of decreasing your cycle time and doing each rep FASTER. As I'm interpreting it, they want you to focus on saving time by cutting down on rest between sets, NOT by doing each rep faster. Basically, don't fly through the good mornings and then stand there hunched over for 15 seconds; instead, pace the good mornings slower and then rest maybe 5-10 seconds before starting on the next movement. I'm assuming the reasoning is that good mornings and back extensions should be done at a slower pace for safety.

HOLY RIP YOUR CORE APART!

As RX'D

1 watch going for total time and a buddy timed me through the L sit...I came down and the watch stopped and would resume when I went back to L sit.

2 hand touch ground behind head to 2 hand touch middle of sneakers in unanchored abmat sit ups.

L sits were the worst part of the WOD!

My take on the "minimizing rest over speeding the exercise:"

I know that at my Level I cert, I asked a lot of questions about GHD exercises. They said the back extensions should never be rushed for an improvement of time. They said that this is because this is one of the only exercises we (crossfitters) use that intentionally sacrifices the lumbar curve. You should do them controlled while focusing on moving each vertabrae as independently of each other as possible.

Subbed l sits for knee tucks. Work out kicked my cores ass.

#75 Paul, after reading your comment, I find that my bucket of wtf is empty. I need to go refill it.

30/M/5'10/146

First WOD for me this Morning was the Hero WOD Randy

75 pounds Power Snatches x 75 Reps

Final time was 15:43 first time doing this Hero WOD. next time I'll do it, go will be to go under 10 minutes.

RIP Randy Simmons.

Will do today's WOD Later on today, Have a nice day every body.

#75 I honestly think that if he did that with 300 pounds, he can probbably squat clean more than 350 easily and with the adrinaline rush of everyone screaming he probably can jerk 350 pounds too. What's scary is that he is not the only one out there competing who can do that, Spencer Hendel, Josh Everett and I bet some of the other Athlethes are strong like that. But No Doubts ROB I wish I could lift as much weight as you, You are a Beast! the games this year are going to be insane.

F/34/5'3"/108 WOW did it 22 minutes. Did hold feet under a bench. My arms still kill from yesterday!!!!

question from a new crossfitter:

on workouts for time, are we supposed to keep as strict form as possible while trying for minimal time, or do we screw form for sake of best time?

please help. I'm new but I think I like this

Didn't really like the workout.

Legs trashed from squatting and Fran. Thought They would get a break today until I started the workout and realized how much glut/ham is needed for the good mornings and back extensions. I felt like I was wandering aimlessley through the workout like a globo gym zombie.

18:47 as rx'd to the best of my ability, just happy the video camera wasn't rolling for the world to see. Those GM's were ugly as well as the L-sits.

M/35/72"/238

24:57 with rings for the L-sit (no parallettes built yet). I'm really lower-body heavy, so I put my feet up on a mat to at least work on some semblance of keeping form.

#89
what a great question! if you watch some of the videos and look at some the posted times, form is not of high priority for many crossfitters. do each workout at a pace where you can maintain proper form and keep the intensity up. i learned a long time ago to stop worrying about numbers. if you are not using proper technique, then how much are you really getting out of the workout? train hard and good luck.

26/M/5'9"/163

subbed L-hang from pullup bar and swiss ball situps.

i thought my lower back was gonna explode! waited about 10 min and did tabata hang clean/push press (95 pounds). Im so glad tomorrow is a rest day.

***I have a question for our CF experts***

Yesterday, I noticed a catch-22 with the thrusters as far as my form is concerned.
1) When I grasp the bar to allow a fluid motion from the bottom to top of the lift, it causes the center of gravity to shift forward, putting pressure on my back and [especially] knees.
2) When I rest the bar on my chest in more of the desired front squat motion, I can't transfer the bar safely to my hands quickly, and it hurts my wrists like hell.

Last night, I felt I have a protruding tibial tuberosity (top of the shin bone, just under the knee cap) typical with osgood schlatters disease, which is supposed to happen during growth spurts in teenage years. I'm not sure if I just noticed it for the first time, or doing frontal squat movements is starting to reek havoc on my knees.

Can someone give me advice on correct form, training, etc. so I don't cripple myself?

Thanks

#89 I agree w/ #100; good form is important because if not you can hurt yourself by doing something the wrong way...quality over quantity is my take!

What a beast style lift!!!!

I do have a quick question about the lift. When you are doing a lift like that x 3 are you allowed to come off the bar, walk away and come back to it.

I am by no means critiquing or judging. I can barely squat 300#. I am simply trying to figure out if that is how I should be approaching my heavy lifts on x 3 or x 5 days.

have a nice one.

#25 thenine,

No, you are not supposed to gap the reps like that. In Rob's case, I believe they had a certain time period in which to accomplish all 3 reps. However, it is acceptable to rest briefly while holding the bar, such as holding the bar on your back during squats, or holding it on your shoulders during front squats/cleans.

Carole's WOD time:

I forgot to tell her to do sit-ups unanchored, with soles together. She did anchored. She also did L-sits in a Roman chair. Again, my fault.

I did Fran last night on only 3 hrs of sleep. I also went from 5000ft to Sea Level.

Definately took my time on this one. I didnt use the 25 lbs plate for the back extensions, since it was my first time doing them. I probably took about 30 mins, just to practice and make sure I was using semi-decent form. I had to the the L-Sit between two benches, since I don't have the equipment for those yet (try to buy this weekend) and a towel for the situps. I also had to use a 1970 roman chair situp device for the back extensions, close enough for now though!

No ab mat so I used a towel. Otherwise, as rx'd.

No breaks on the first round of L-sits....held it easily for the minute. Three breaks round two, five on round three. No breaks on any of the other exercises on any of the rounds. 45# bar for Good Mornings. Used a small sandbag for situps with arms folded on chest and soles of feet touching. 25# plate held to chest on extensions with a complete stop at the hang (no momentum).

30 second L-sit turned tuck-sit 12 seconds into rd 2

Also I spaced and forgot to do first round of back extensions.

I went light b/c my hams/back were pretty sore from heavy deadlifts earlier in the week.

Also, I'm training for 100 consecutive full ROM pushups so I did 150 pushups in various sets before the WOD.

Has to be cajoled into doing this wod but thoroughly enjoyed it. The fact that I got a faster time than Pedro was the icing on the cake, OK yes he was doing it as Rx'd but I still did a very small, I got a faster time than you dance, hardly ever get to do them.

Also got pb on OHS of 51kg (remembered my happy dance this time). Pleased, a couple of weeks ago I could hardly get 40kg.

Had a laugh the wee bloke who was nearly on top of the squat rack when I was doing my BS moved his bench near the rack and started working out. Then when he saw me doing OHS and that the barbell was over his head he had the good sense to move.

Good happy fun

subbed tuck sits, everything else as Rx, 30:50

As rx'd (barely), 33:15.

Wow, did this one suck. L-sits were the worst - I have tried these before, but never in a WOD. It wasn't long before I was basically doing sixty 1-second holds...it was discouraging, they probably accounted for 1/2 the time of this WOD. Quads and hip flexors and abs on fire. Good mornings were fine, but I lost count in round 3 and may have done 40. Used a rolled-up towel for abmat situps - these were tough after the Ls. Back extensions were really hard with the added weight - tried to keep these strict with no hip involvement.

Afterwards - who knows why - I decided to do a speed bench workout. Probably because I'm slipping in an extra rest day tomorrow. So I did:

Bench press 12 sets of 2 reps: on the minute
Used 175 (~73% of 1RM)

This was a lot more fun than the core stuff.

Rx'd 31:50

long workout..L-sits were very poor because of my very tight hamstrings, situps took up most of my time

My injured elbow was giving me hell during the L-sits, so I had to do most of the time supported on my forearms on the dip station. They're easier that way, but still horrible.

Used 2 dumbbells for the L-sits. Last round I just couldn;t get my legs off the floor! I did effort to move them mixed with one-leg raised for 60 seconds. Funny to strain and stare angrily at my feet and have them just sit there.

Holy 38 minutes later Batman! This one killed me. I went slow and steady on the Abmat situps, unanchored. The L-Sits were horrible to say the least. I had to do back extensions using a dip-bar(think sideways). It hurt, but it worked. I'm feeling it 16 hours later.

When I read this I was thinking it would be taxing.. I'v never done L-Sits and I've only done good mornings a couple times (previous WODs) before.... GREAT WOD... Very challenging... I'm adding the good mornings to my routine from now on... great posterior chain and good injury preventer for squatting, etc.
I had kind of an odd feeling post WOD... even into today, the next morning after the night workout... I was going to run around with the dog in the morning and last night after the workout, but my muscles were firing all weird. It was like my hams and quads were out of sequence.. not enough sleep this past week could be a good factor in poor recooperation though. I liked the L-sit as well... the biggest surprise was that the station that made me break the most times was the last weighted back extentions.. I did the l-sits o.k. but the last set was a tough one to push through without too many breaks.. I did all good mornings unbroken and the situps weren't that bad, just tough because you're already taxed from the L-sits.. the weighted back extentions killed my hamstrings and my lower back toward the end of the 2nd round and into the middle of the last round as well.

So the last two rounds were with 60 second tuck sits. Definitely got a weakness exposed an I'll work on my L-sits more now.

L sits were very sloppy

M/30/5'9"/195

- L sits dragged severly after first round. Done with chairs equidistant apart like dips.
- Good mornings done with 45lbs in a backpack and held behind head.
- Back extensions done with 25lbs in a backpack and held at chest.
- Subbed towel for abmat.

Did some sort of bastardised version & hated it.
Short on time - should have scaled up.

Three rounds for time of:
30 seconds L-sit
45 pound barbell Good mornings, 15 reps
30 Abmat sit-ups
25 pound plate Back Extensions, 15 reps

For the L-sit, accumulate 30sec. For the Good mornings and Back extensions, minimize rest over speeding the movement. For the Abmat sit-ups (substitute a rolled-up towel if needed), feet unanchored with soles together.

Broke up the L-sits (used to flat benches side-by-side), but was pleased with how long I was able to hold them with both legs extended. The most time consuming portion was the back extensions. I REALLY need to do these using the back extension equipment next time (as opposed to the Smith machine and a swiss ball).

L sits tough. Not very rigid. Legs way below parallel after 1st couple of rounds. Good job keeping legs together though.
Think I messed up tech on situps. Read heels together, not soles. So, no butterfly situps.

Did this workout on 8/4/10 due to my foot injury (turf toe). I felt sluggish today and it was hard mentally to push myself. I think I need more sleep. I scaled the workout to the following:

3 Rounds for time:
45 sec. L-sit
45 lb. barbell Good Mornings, 20 reps
45 unanchored, no AbMat or towel, situps
25 lb. plate Back Extensions, 20 reps.

Finished in 29:58.
I was able to do a bent knee L-sit for only the first round. After that, they became knee tucks or I would extend each leg out one at a time.
I need to check on the form for Good Mornings because I felt them in my low back and not as much in my hamstrings or butt.
The sit ups were really tough. I ended up swinging my arms a bit towards the end to help me finish.

M/34/177

Three rounds for time of:
60 seconds L-sit--SUCK!!
45 pound barbell Good mornings, 30 reps
60 Abmat sit-ups
25 pound plate Back Extensions, 30 reps

For the L-sit, accumulate 60sec. For the Good mornings and Back extensions, minimize rest over speeding the movement. For the Abmat sit-ups, feet unanchored with soles together.

finished w/5:00 jump rope work (VFF)

60 seconds L-sit

Tried to Jimmy rig the back ext but failed so lost some time. Ended up doing standing stiff leg deadlift with 25 lb plate.
