Go Heavy!

Love the comment on the shirts.

Love those shirts...so true!

Great pic today!

And, you gotta love the affiliate name. Gutsy.

Maybe one day i'll deadlift what Dave front squats for 3 reps.

Where have the Dave videos been lately? I use them for inspiration every time haha.

Matt, I agree.

Love the video, teaching the pullup. Thats such a huge resource for us newer individuals that just arent good or profecient at pullups!

Thanks all,
JA

Well, whadaya know?! You came back AGAIN. Good on ya. More great stuff in store today compliments of Crossfit. Let's take a look, shall we?

Crossfit is the quintessential strength and conditioning program, the sine qua non of general physical preparedness. Today is a pure strength day, and these are the days that make Crossfitters strong. You need to approach these WOD's as seriously and with as much intensity as any of the other workouts. If done properly this WOD should fry your CNS (Central Nervous System) and leave you as washed out as any others. Folks who don't get stronger doing Crossfit fail to work hard enough on strength days like today. Don't cheat yourself.

3-3-3-3-3. Five sets of three reps, seeking your 3-rep max for Front Squat. Watch Pat Barber in today's WOD video (unfortunately only one angle view). Go over to the "Exercises and Demos" and play the demo video of 'good vs. evil' technique. Click on "compare to" above and look at Dave Lipson do the WOD. Both Dave and Pat have great form. If you have time keep clicking "compare to" until you come up on Shari Keener's demo and the classic subtitle of all time. While you're at it look at a bunch of squat videos. Come to think of it, see if you can find a CF Kids video on squatting; the coaching there is simply tops.

Please note that all of the athletes in all of the demos are using the classic rack position from the "clean". Crossed arms doesn't cut it here chez Crossfit; the Front Squat is part of our training progression for the Olympic lift the Clean and Jerk. Got flexibility issues? Listen, I'm a doc and all, but that's just not my forte--your just gonna have to work through that on your own.

Warm up (look up CF warm-up in the FAQ) and work on form. Full squats, crease of the hip below the knee. Don't be bringing any of that "bad for your knees" panty-waist nonsense around here. We go deep. Some folks will go with something close to their max straight across, but most will seek to build up to a final set at a new PR (Personal Record). Straight across is really hard. You're new...that's why you're reading this. Build up. Standard rest is 3-5:00 between sets, enough to be ready but not enough to cool down (FWIW I've been using 2:00 for a year or so and still PR'ing).

There you are, your first Crossfit strength day. Remember, Crossfit is a STRENGTH and conditioning program, and today is strength. Make your trip to the gym worth it.

3-2-1...Go.

Yup...January 4th...now batting .750, 3/4 Newbie posts in the you know what.

Hey Elise, can you turn around real quick? Thanks.

Pure sex. Move over, stick thin and anorexic and weak abnormally tall women with arms that look like the legs of a spider or spaghetti strings. Nothing wrong with you if you look like that normally, but at least be able to lift a bag of groceries and be healthy.

Cant read the shirts on my iPhone - what do they say?

Been a really long time since I've posted on the board! I'm relocating to Los Angeles and will most likely be living in Los Feliz. Any affiliates in that neighborhood?

Elyse representing CrossFit Big Island tank! Sweet Pick!

matt 21, if you want those numbers, stop doin crossfit.

Does anyone know how to get Progenex in CANADA???

jorge, are you saying you cannot reach strength goals doing crossfit? That's pretty arrogant, man. All of my lifts have gone up...way up since I started crossfit with a slight strength bias. So have all the people I train and train with. If youre trolling, that's that weak sauce.

Funny you say stop doing crossfit to get those numbers when Dave Lipson is an elite crossfitter with those numbers...

Love the shirts!

kurt, sure you can get stronger with crossfit, but its goin to take longer.

sean v., lipson did not get those numbers doin crossfit. hes got a strength background, and played pro baseball.

Started a bit higher than I thought - forgot 100kg was my 1RM, not 3RM.

90,95,100 (1 rep), 90, 90

Would have done an extra set but I still felt fried. Suits me just fine. Especially with a headache from a lack of sleep - gotta love going back to work after having a looong weekend off!

i can DL that .........but i have to use straps :( 425lbs is my DL MAX(no straps). I can't wait to attack this WOD tonight!!! hopefully ill be able to atleast get 175. I just started proper squats about 2 monthes ago, and i still hate them!!! ha

Matt 21 & Jorge:

Yes, you can achieve those numbers doing CF, but like Jorge said it will take longer.

Look into the popular strength programs available: The Conjugate Method, 5-3-1, etc and through the discussion boards.

You can supplement these programs in with the regular wods. But remember with the very heavy stuff - rest is required, patience is mandatory.

I tried doing strength WODs + regular WODs and it burned me out within a week. I'm definitely going to be putting them in less often now.

Why do people post information on here that has nothing to do with working out, or the WOD? Now, I am one of them, just saying!

OMG this picture is soooooooooo offensive. A girl lifting a girl?? thats just sooooo wrong!!! And on top of that, one girl is wearing booty shorty and a cut off, way to much leg.

Dave had good form with the knees over toes and a strong position. Lost some lumbar curve at the bottom due to muscle tightness in hamstrings, but all in all a good lifting day...

Technique needs work

HQ:

It would be great to throw in more beginners doing WOD's, or scaled WOD's. Seeing the fire breathers is great. But it would be great to see more newbies struggle through.

Thanks.

Question:

For the front squats, is it better to do them in the "rack" position of a clean, or the standard arms cross position?

I am able to do more weight in the standard position, but I heard the clean position will carry over to better power clean performance and wrist flexability.

Thanks!

Awesome, keep coming back. I am sure that it has not been easy.

did Mikesgym.org workout today in place of front squats, front squats are a staple in these. added this progam to these mainsite wods.

Out of time, had to double up w/ 'Jack' afterwards.

No comments on Mikko and Christy (and Juha) running 31 floors as a pre-run for the 2011 Fight For Air climb? Mikko made it in 2:46, Juha in 3:06 and Christy in 3:11! Frickin' impressive!

If you don't know about the event...it's going on around the country in different buldings and arenas in February and March. Click the link and you can click your way to your town. In Denver we're climbing the Republic Building which is 56 floors. Seeing that we're the mile high city, our ending height is 5780-ish feet (the building is about 700').

If you're in the Denver area and either training out of your garage or your box isn't participating (tell them to!) and you'd like to run with other CrossFitters you're more than welcome to join the CrossFit Dominion team! Click on the join team link and we're in the existing company drop down.

Hip crease below the knee is a good standard as far as bare minimum depth and if you are starting out, but your goal should be as deep as possible.
Meaning as deep a squat as you can do while maintaining good body positions. Don't limit yourself to hip crease below the knee because when you catch a heavy clean that wants to pin you to the floor and you have never experienced that depth, i.e., hamstrings to calves or ass to ankles, you will never make the lift and you will never understand why. The only way to do this is to lift to the fullest depth your flexibility and strength allows. Below are good examples of front squats and depth.

Took this one a little easy today to avoid any injuries. Tried to have perfect form - sit way back on the heels, so there was no chance to roll onto the balls of my feet (calf); and keep the midline tight and the elbows high so I don't round my thoracic spine (back). Anyway, pleased with this - only 10 pounds off my PR. 225 felt good, the elbows started to drop a little on 245, so I backed down.

Finished with a dynamic bench workout 10x2 at 175 (70% 1RM), on the minute.

Recovering from yesterday night's migraine still...would have attempted heavier had I not had it still lingering!

No access to weights.
Went to beach and found a guy working out, had two 25# db. Wanted to go for a run and asked me to watch his equipment. In exchanged I used his db.

So improvised wod
2 25# db squats, front squat position 100 reps.
1 25# db overhead squats 100 reps.
2 25# db walking lunges 200 steps.

about 25 minutes.

Made a disappointing discovery trying to do this WOD. It appears I have minimal wrist and elbow flexibility. Couln't get more than a small amount of weight into a comfortable position. Any recommendations CF Universe? Going to head over to Starret's blog later and see what I can find, but this had me down all day. Anybody have similar experiences when they first started? Did it get better? Thanks in advance.
