I'm new to this whole crossfit thing. Haven't seen any bicep curls in the past workouts. When do we get to do them? I need to get my pump on!

Sorry Stanley, but if you ever see bicep curls on the mainpage WOD it's certainly a cold day in hell. Read the crossfit journal or check the forums for more information regarding this subject.

@ Stanley - bicep curl WOD's are in the beginning of the week when you are most rested.....usually the next workout is single arm supported reverse wrist curls supersetted with reverse rhomboid lower trap shrugs....enjoy.

Tony,

Great response man. I'm laughing my ass off.

oh tony be nice lol

most crossfitters do reverse curls anyway when they do their power cleans.

Finally proof of what we all knew about High Fructose Corn Syrup killing our society. This study also proves that high sugar/HFCS diets are worse than high fat diets...hmmmm.....sound familiar?

It was my birthday WOD...12:04

there is a section for adults and a section fr kids so what do teenage girls fall under?

Thinking of breast cancer and prevention, Mrs. bingo has a cousin who has started a foundation dedicated to teaching young women, high school and college age, the benefits of self-exam. At the risk of offending the mods and the filters the site is:

You can also find Leigh and her foundation on Facebook.

Enjoy the Rest Day. I'm gonna tackle the DL/Push-up debacle tomorrow.

Epic image, makes me a bit dizzy to look at it!

Stanley, do chin ups.

Dyno, I agree w/ you on that. I notice I have to check myself for my arrogance when it comes to health and fitness and other forms of exercise.

i feel like doing a workout tomorrow... is anyone doing a specific wod or hero workout? any suggestions? thanks!

um... this picture is photo shopped. if it's not i will eat my hat.

I't think i'll make it up to Glacier park next summer. Wifes parents stay a few mins from there. Heard the winter view is pretty nice to say the least.

Enjoyed Alexie's Story. The passing references to the deaths of Junior, and the Aleuts, as well as the disappearances of Iren, Honey Boy, and Rose of Sharon remind me of the similarly brief (though longer in coming) reports of the deaths of Mrs. Ramsay, Prue and Andrew in Woolf's "To the Lighthouse" - suggests some commonality between Jackson Jackson and Lily Briscoe.

Wanted to enjoy Marnio's essay (enjoy seeing anyone give mind/body dualism a few jabs). However, Marino failed, it seems to me, to make much of a connection between the physical courage required to take a hit in the ring, and the moral courage sometimes required to "do the right thing". He suggests the connection (and I think there can be one), but he doesn't provide much of anything by way of explanation of this connection. Perhaps boxing fortifies the moral courage of the man or woman who already has it.

CAROLYN! Awesome pic! Let me know if you want to play at Local again. I'll be by soon to see Shannon. Hope your pull ups are coming along. You were a great student!

I think Stanely is just joking

Love Sherman Alexie!

My now deleted post at #20 was an attempt at crossfit humour in the self-deprecatory style, but nein, es war nicht lustig!

Hey, I'll do the B for B workout at the New Haven box while I am on the road, in solidarity and because I like the workout.

But I've told the trainer there and I've told the Crossfit Orange box here at home, too, that supporting early mammography seems to me the opposite of Crossfit's self-reliant, evidence-based approach to health.

For literature review, see Nortin Hadler, "Breast Cancer Prevention: Screening the Evidence", in Worried Sick: a Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America.

Been lurking a while now... First post. 9:59 Rx'd

I saw a commercial on network television with a woman commenting on a study of high fructose corn syrup showing it is the same on/in the body as cane sugar.

She is careful not to say it is "healthy" or good for you. Just that it is the same.

However, the commercial is obviously trying to make it sound healthy.

Sigh......

Did WOD from 27-Sep-2010 (see details there)

Start eating your hat I_man. this picture is most certainly NOT photoshoped. That is the true beauty of Glacier National Park and an awesome CrossFit Local member Carolyn :) Yeah Carolyn! I am so excited this picture made the main site.

(Thanks Becky) Eat up I_man. You really do need to go there to believe the beauty of it all. This was my favorite pic from the whole trip!

(Thanks Becky). Eat up I_man. You have to actually go there to experience the true beauty of it all. This was my favorite picture from the trip!

Thanks for the Alexie link.

One more appeal to aviators in AFGHANISTAN: I'm with a helicopter heavy-lift outfit, possibly heading over and looking for some pointers. Please reply directly to me at hazmat1863@earthlink.net so we don't clog the board.

Thanks,

How's that hat taste I_man?

Carolyn, told you this would make the mainpage =)

I'm guessing you'd fall under the regular WoD but scale back =) How old exactly?

The interesting part of the boxing article is the Aristotelean idea that you have to practice - literally, train - to be moral. We are more used to thinking morality is something you either have or don't have. The corollary is that by overprotecting your children, you deprive them of the opportunity to get such training.

ive done crossfit for about 3 years now sadily had to take 3 months off this summer now just comin back into crossfit after a fracture to my c7 vert. any ideas on rehabin back into shape?
my pull up stamina and enduance is shot along with alot of muscle mass. any ideas on getin back to full recorvery would be much apreciated
thanks brandon

cant wait to distroy these WODS again.

Hello DOMS!!! GeeZe-a-mighty!!! Woke up w/ every single muscle in my body sore from death by pull-ups & yesterday's WOD.. Niece!!!

Jamie, #10,

Teenagers, whether girls or boys, are Crossfit Kids. Anyone under 18yo is Crossfit Kids. It is appropriate for you to do the CFK program, not a scaled version of the Main Page or regular Crossfit. Check out the Crossfit Kids link on the left hand side of the website for the CFK WOD.

Welcome aboard.

The recent deadlift workout had me thinking of a workout I tried once. Here it is:

40 deadlift (body weight or more), 10 Burpees
30 DL, 20 Burpees
20 DL, 30 Burpees
10 DL, 40 Burpees

Has anyone tried something similar? What did you think?

Jaime #37,

Why is a teen not to do a modified version of the main website? Do we modify the way kids run, climb, swim, and jump? Why not teach them at an early age the correct way of doing olympic lifts and the sort? As long as they don't max out and work more on technique than strength, I don't see any negative issues.

I would like to know your thoughts...

mas-how did it go for you?

Hey crossfit group, I am looking for some help. I was wondering if anyone that posts here lives in or around Corona CA. I am taking a job transfer to corona effective this sunday! I plan to look for a room to rent when i get there, I thought I would put the word out on this site and see if there is someone that could help me. I am looking for a room or basement apt for oct nov and dec, until my wife and son move out to join me. I alos just wanted to find out if anyone has a garage gym or belongs to a crossfit gym and would like someone to workout with sometimes. I do not know many people there yet, so an occasional workout partner would be cool. Feel free to send me a message! Thanks.

Love the "Pastorale" Symphony; first ever programmatic piece of music and a fine work of Beethoven's.

Did 10 rds. 135lb. DL, 15 reps and 15 push-ups: 13:40.

Anyone who liked the Alexie short might also like, "Indian Killer," and "Reservation Blues," two novels by Sherman Alexie; the former is my favorite.

12 rounds + 4 kb swings
