awesome. looking forward to this.

Those Northeast Boys are BEASTLY! Nice job Dave, James, and Rob (and Jason too..west coast BEAST).

Jason and I get the award for smoothest looking split jerk minus the pressout and footwork.

Hey what do you do if you don't have enough ceiling clearance for the split jerks?

Though, Jason & Dave may be strong, James Hobart's split jerk is the only one that would get 3 white lights in competition.

Look at that lumbar curve....

"Aligning the hips, shoulders and barbell over the base of support (left image) is stronger than with exaggerated lumbar extension (right image)."

True..But from where I sit the exaggerated lumbar extension in the (right image) is much more photogenic.

Not to take anything away from Orlando because the guys a beast, but that looked more like a squat clean / Thruster more than a C&J, which is what Grace is right?. Am I wrong?

#8. . . agreed, but what he did was harder than jerking the bar, wasn't it?

#9, Absolutely it was, but were those "jerks" or thrusters...I'm just pointing out that if the WOD calls for jerks it should be jerks, if you can't jerk the weight then reduce and complete the movement Rx'd. Otherwise call it "30 squat clean thrusters for time".

If I had to take wild guess, I'd say Rob O. is fully capable of jerking.

As Tom said, its harder to hit the thruster rather than the jerk anyway.

Few thoughts...

@#4: Just bash holes in the ceiling. Or try to take it outside if possible.

@DaveLIPSON: Dood you don't have to use so many 10lb plates when you lift...you know...these things called 45s?

I have yet to see the Orlando video but every time I see Grace it's Power clean and jerk. But when they added the squat at the games one year (I think the year Khalipa won) I believe people were doing squat clean into a thruster. Either way that is rediculous before I even know how fast he did it.

So the position on the left is stronger. But what is the reason for that?

I dunno, it's frustrating to see the 30 minute Burgener video discussing the CF/USAW competition yesterday in the journal and its in-depth descriptions of good and failed lifts and then have these videos of "Crossfit's Top Dawgs" doing what is supposed to be a split jerk and having it look like a spazzed-out jumping-split-push-press w/ a tap dance chaser. Maybe that's the "Hybrid" in Hybrid Athletics? Love to see some CFer's with solid technique throwing some weights up for the noobs to emulate. Respect to the weights going up but post it on HQ if it's done right.

Props to J-Ho. Great lifts man.

Grace is typically performed as ground to overhead anyhow for 30 reps. That's for as long as I can remember although I think it is often done as C&J.

Rob, that was awesome!

great vids.
CF ATL - nice!
Rob you are a beast. That was just sick!
Lipson - insane!
Not sure how I am going to run this bad boy WOD with a bunch of newbies, but ....

I would be the happiest girl on earth if I could nail 180# again. I can't wait to try!

Hobart has some legit lifts. Nice work bro. If there is any lifter to emulate, it is him. The jerk should be completed without a press finish.

I agree with the images posted in the picture today but on the left one her ear is not showing. So is the standard the less stable lift?

Where do I find fish oil in higher doses? I'd like to eventually up how much I'm taking a day, but I can only find it in at MOST 1g doses. I'd have to be taking quite a few of those a day. Is there nothing higher?

Hobart and Lipson inspire me daily. Thanks, boys.

I always thought these heavy weight days were meant to get 7 heavy reps in, not 5-6 warmup reps at lighter weight and then a max. I try to keep all the weights within 20# from start to finish, after several warmup reps. I'm usually close to a PR, but too fried to really have achieved it. What do others think?? Thanks.

Awesome job Rob! That was amazing.

Rob O. takes a ton of grief on this board. I give him a lot of credit for his patience and humility. I wish my form looked that good!
Keep sending the tapes Rob.

Got stumped at the box today with this question:

On a box jump, "Why do I have to open/extend the hips fully after I land on the box?"

Anyone got a good answer for that?

CRamsey -- I'm with you on the heavy weight days. Sets across wind up with a lot more volume than stair stepping to a max.

Great lifts by everyone! Wow, some of those are good dead lift numbers!

I'm very happy to see that pic of the proper overhead position posted for the world to see. That is going to help out a lot of Crossfitters. Very cool.

27# same reason you gota get your chin over the bar.

Lipson and Khalipa are STRONG! But the only split jerk I saw came from Hobart. Awesome work James!

#17 - lol Mettam has it exactly right. Ground to overhead.

James and Rob great work. Jimmy you move as smooth as butter. Rob I admire that you have the balls to try things that other athletes would cower at. Semantics aside, that was awesome. Pretty sure our splits would not count at the oly competition. For me, technique starts to break down as they weights get higher, but that is the battle most of us are fighting.

The people knocking Rob O cannot be serious. The man is a monster. That was inspiring.

3 Rounds of:

2 x Muscle ups
3 x 315 pounds Squat clean
4 x Ring Hand stand Push ups,

I just made that up, :) I wonder if Lipson, Rob or some of the strong elite crossfiters would be able to complete that. Rob just took Grace to another Level with 225 LB Grace, I wish I could clean that much weight atleast once. That was insane.

SANTI

who filmed/edited the CF Atlanta WOD Demo - I love the way it's put together and the quality

Does anybody know what the name of the song that is playing during Rob Orlando's video?

How much time are you resting between reps?

I don't know that I agree that the position on the left is the stronger one. They are only subtly different, but I would argue that the picture on the right has a slightly better bar - scapulae - midfoot alignment. The pic on the left has the bar over the middle of the shoulder joint, which is probably not quite right. Most Oly lifters when they stand up with a heavy weight look more like the photo on the right.

Further, I would argue that putting the head through more, as shown on the right would allow the traps to shrug a little more and provide more support.

at the games and the competitions building up to the games we were always were told in the background that the standard for overhead movements like this involved a portion of the ears showing... also a little confused. i think if her head was through a little bit it wouldn't have bothered me so much. dave, rob, hobart - keep being BA's!

typo above: we were always told in the background*** (and by background meaning - judges, competitors, volunteers)

Rob O. U are a BEAST!!! to do do that much weight at full squat and to take it right overhead without dipping again blew my mind. Great work

Rob O. isn't actually human. He's clearly 100% beast.

Oh, and as for the picture... keep up the good work Lululemon.

Rob O.- That was truly an inspring Grace. 225?! And then to make it a full-squat clean. Yikes.

James - Very good looking split, brother. Legit and competition clean on all of them. Well, except for the "pump fake".

Rob,

Truly incredible performance. For those of you hating on Rob for not "jerking" the weight. Grace is merely a name. The video title could easily have been "Rob O. 30 ground to overhead @ 225#" and most people would have said it was a Grace. Stop nit picking.

First off, Hobart that was an amazing series of lifts, great form and lots of control. Something to work towards for all of us.

I have one quick question and one comment. When I am doing an oly lifting wod like this I typically do the normal CF warmup (pullups, OHS, pushups, situps, back extension and dips) and maybe some box jumps or something to feel a bit explosive. Then I will practice whatever the movement is with moderate weight and then dive in. When warming up with split jerks do you guys switch legs at all? I am definitely more comfortable going one way that the other, just like with swinging a golf club, baseball bat or riding a skateboard. Would it make sense from a general fitness standpoint to do so, if nothing else than to work on balance on both sides? When I am actually going heavy I definitely do one split one way as that is the way I am most confident. Just curious as to others thoughts.

In thinking about and planning this workout, which I will be doing tomorrow, I started looking around YouTube at various clean and jerk competitions. I was surprised to see that at the 2009 world weightlifting championships there were still a fair number of athletes, especially in the 77 Kg class, using a traditional "squat" jerk rather than a split jerk. I can't imagine how it would be more powerful, stable, etc., to lift this way. Thoughts, comments?

Tomorrow my goal is to have more confidence and not be scared about getting under the bar. I find that my fear of being under a lot of weight often overcomes my physical strength. I know how to bail, I just need to get under there...

Rode the bike today 10 miles in 33 minutes. I'll try the split jerks this weekend.

very first rep of split jerk ever. I scrapped the structure of the wod and just learned the movement,going up comfortably to 170.

185, 185 195, 195 205, 205 210(f) 185

I had to set these up the old fashioned way, by cleaning the weight. That 210 was a failure in the clean, not the jerk. I probably gave away a few pounds by not being able to pop these off a rack, but these were good honest weights for some decent technical training.

75 and 85 pounds for various reps, for the memsahib.

#2 was poor form, #5, 6, and 7 were pressed out to finish.

I was very happy to go above body weight on these!

Got a bit wobbly by 154 (PR) and there were people wandering around the gym not paying attention to what was going on around them. One guy started doing arm curls about 18" behind me so I didn't feel safe pushing it incase I needed to drop the bar. Reduced the weight and did more reps instead.

Missed. Working on setting up a CrossFit box in my garage.

Don't know how correct this is...

First the human body completely straight has no power, it can only reset. Seriously try to jump or create any active movement straight.

Second lifted with professional strength coaches for a good portion of my life and never heard that.

Third, look at a body in a hand stand pushup (which is essentially this... it isn't straight.)

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
