Nice Dave! I'll rock the GHD as well. Sub 5 gets dull.

I don't like this one...

Probably because I can't do more than 2 Double unders at a time...

one of my all time favorite wods!!!

Castro threw down like a beast! Much respect due for that!

Nice Job Dave! It's cool to see you in action=)

This is a long shot and I'm not even sure this is do-able, but if anyone reading this is perchance signed up for the CF Level 1 Cert. in Novato on 8/21 and would like to switch with me to take my spot in Santa Clara (Khalipa's gym!) on 10/2, can you email me? I might have a scheduling conflict for work on 10/2 that's why. :/

oh ho ho, what's this, Mr. Dave Castro in action! Sweet. Good work Dave.

Now if only I could do double unders...

Go Spealler!

Keep the CHRONICLES coming....Great stuff Pat. If anything it motivates me to dig deeper and tweak and find out what works....everyone is different....great philosophy and approach to educating the CF Nation. Thanks team!

Solid work, Dave. That is rugged with the GHD sit-ups!

Dave, 150 GHD's, I bow to you. My core would be shredded if I attempted!

DAMN~ GHD sit ups Dave..way to go!

I thought it was hard enough with the 2 hand touch the ground behind the head and 2 hand touching the dumbbells at the top!

awesome work Dave and also great to see FitMom rocking it again

I want to use this WOD to improve my double-unders. Looking forward to it!! Any suggestions for better strategy of learning? I've watched the demos, several times, so I'll apply what I've acquired from those, but if anyone can give any extra pointers it would be highly appreciated. To everyone in the x-fit community, have a safe weekend!!

I really enjoy listening to Lindsey Smith. She is so good natured, kind, and bad a$$!!

#11, Rookie~thanks for the shout out my friend! Attack it!

Dave- I swear I beat you at this workout last time! Ha ha!! Nice work boss!

Lindsey, you are an inspiration. Kim, you too! Thank you for pushing me.

I am SO exicted for the lifting competition!!

Nice job Kim. Only a few seconds behind Speal! Awesome.

I can't freaking believe my eyes. I just recently discovered this Crossfit thing and I wouldn't believe anyone could do this workout without stopping and at the intensity to finish well under 10 minutes. Thought I was in okay shape but I am so far out from even getting close to finishing any WOD - but I love it and can't stop watching.

Great job Dave! Nice to see you throwing it down.
Love the set up and use of space in the workout area too.

Jon let me borrow a jump rope and his ab mat.
I suck at jump rope - even with a nice rope. Need more work here.
Abs - could do them all, but had to take a break a few times in the middle of each set. Start timeing workouts next week.

That pic is Canmore, Alberta. But that's a transient CrossFitter from CrossFit Orillia. His name is Eugene. Come out to BC Eugene!!!

big respect to anybody doing that many GHDs so quickly

Still can't do double unders.

50, 40, 30, 20 and 10 reps of Power jump skip rope, speed skip rope and sit ups

Total time: 10 mins 53 secs

These new speed skipping ropes look TOO easy!!!

GHD sit ups massively scale up the sit ups when compared to anchored abmat sit ups. Doing double unders with a crappy little kid jump rope is a major SCALE UP too.

m/28/190lbs/70"

8:36, as rx'd. Unanchored situps.

I like my jump rope but eventually the rope gets cut at the edge of the bearing. I would prefer to buy maybe a 10 pack of the ropes without handles to save money. My handles have threaded ends so I can put weights inside to make my wrists stronger and set screws to hold the end of the rope.

Never thought I would do so much rope jumping that I would wear out the rope. twice.

Anybody got a lead on rope in bulk?

re: gb (comment #61)

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely check that out; my double-unders need all the help they can get!

20 - Pullups
30 - DUs/Situps

About 4 minutes slower than my best regular Annie. This got tough in the round of 40, my hip flexors were really tired from the GHDs. Double-unders went fine, a few misses, usually at the beginning of rounds. Probably due to general quad fatigue from the GHDs.

Double-unders are finally coming more easily. I figured out how to time the jump better with the rope and not have to bend at the knees much. Saves tons of energy!

Sit-ups were what slowed me down actually. Could have gone faster on sit-ups.

Apparently you missed Dave in the squat clean, no leg rope climb WOD a few months ago. You know, the one that pretty much everyone had to scale by using their legs, except Dave. But thanks anyway for playing.
