"Here is a photo from an advanced handstand class we held recently. Setting the rings low enough so that the athlete's hands can create friction against the mat increases support stability. By making one component less difficult you can focus on other aspects of the skill, like midline control."

Nice pic and wod looks fun.
My wife and I are looking for an affiliate that is hosting FGB6 in south FL (Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Holloywood). We live in the Keys, so there is not a box down here we can visit. We have been doing Crossfit for about 1.5 years now, and really want to participate in this event. Please email me at john@cranepoint.net if you have any suggestions. Thank you very much.

What kind of dressing was using for the tokyo slaw? Does anyone know?
Hey Quinn, I did it too... 20:52. Also RX. The sdhp's were so light and it was still so hard! Amazing. Great respect to the "old guys" that can clean my clock any day of the week. I'm only 36 years old.
#4 Dressing was a ginger vinaigrette. If you have a CrossFit journal subscription there is an entire cooking series with Nick. The vinaigrette was made in the previous episode. Aired on 08/02/11 if you wanted to look it up.
Thank you Chris S. (Comment6). I'll check it out!
I really want the new reebok oly shoe! I wish I could buy them now.
Hurray For Laurel and Ken being on the mainsite!!!
Also- my name is spelt Osorio, but close enough!

On yesterday's post, I guess I forgot I had a birthday, I'm 26, haha.
I do my workouts at home and can't really do overhead squats and olympic lifts (can't drop weights)...any ideas what would be the best alternative for this? I don't mind doing two exercises.

Ok this comment might have been said already and I know i'm late pointing it out.. But as an answer to the lame discussion that took place after the games about Mr Froning being so much better than the rest of the field that he had to be on steroids.. It's not that he out performed the field physically by 11%, if you take away the scores from the two skill test Bridges actually beat him by 30 points if my math is correct (Froning 661 Brigdes 691).. Froning is just the most allround crossfitter on earth!! (as far as we know!!) I suffer from PGD (post games depression) that is why i have nothing better to do then to through the scoreboard with "what if's"
great games!!!

Hello,
Can someone please delete my account from the Crossfit forums? I've sent multiple private messages and emails but have gotten no response.
Thanks!

Cool photo! That handstand looks seriously intense.

What is the correct technique for getting to the overhead squat position? Basically what I do is push press the weight and then kinda slide my hands out farther on the bar once overhead which is pretty awkward. Is there a better way, what technique is taught?
@ #33
Do a behind the neck jerk, or snatch push press. Put your hands at the width you would have them for a snatch/overhead squat.
I'm a crossfit newbie...gonna give this a shot this afternoon but I've attempted overhead squats before. Even with little to no weight I'm still sucking at these. Form? Strength? Confidence? Yes. Yes. Yes.

First OHS at 100 lbs since starting CrossFit almost six months ago. I could barely do the bar when I started. Flexibility, core strength and practice seemed to be the missing ingredients but this morning I probably could have gone a bit heavier.
I also discovered something about burpees: when I'm tired and contemplating a rest, I don't need to decide to do one more. I only need to decide to START one more, and my body takes over from there (doesn't work forever, obviously).

@Comment #15 - Who says you HAVE to drop the weights to do olympic lifts or overhead squats? Just use a weight that you can control. If you're not doing olympic lifts right now, then even the lighter weight will have a ton of benefit in terms of learning the movement. And if you are used to doing these lifts with higher weight, then change it up and use a lighter weight with more reps.

Am I the only one that finds that guy in the week before the games video doing the interview annoying? It's bothersome to me that his whole purpose for any interview is to try to make someone look silly. At my regionals, people were staying away from him because he's a tool.
Also it wouldn't be all bad if he was actually in shape and DID crossfit. To have a guy wearing a crossfit shirt and holding a mic who clearly is not in shape is not the best PR move.

OHSQx3: 65, 85,95,105,110x1
@ #33
In order to get the bar in the OHS position:
Jerk it from the ground, and then press/push press it just high enough to be able to lower it to your neck. You don't need to put it all the way up overhead, just high enough to get your head under. When the bar is on your back/neck just slide your hands out until you have them in the desired width. Then just push press and drop under until you can press out and stand up. Then just squat til you drop!

The student rec is a horrible place to lift cross fit when you want to push yourself but are unable to fail properly. Gym has those crappy plates you can't throw on the ground plus they'd kick me out anyway for doing so. In hindsight should have done some back or front square but was too pissed off to care at the time. First time I had really figured out the OHS too. Pitty.. I'm thinking more seriously about joining the cf gym across town every WOD even though I'm a poor college student. Sorry for the sob story. Crossfit definitely can't be beat in my book.

@ Dan Stolar #114 - disclaimer, none of this is anything but info I've picked up on golfers elbow within last 2 weeks, and I'm no medico. Hope some of it is useful and not too basic.
(It's also a long entry, so others should avoid if golfers elbow's of no interest.)
All links wfs.
- golfers elbow = 'medial epicondylitis' (inside-elbow inflammation)
- tennis elbow = 'lateral...' (outside-elbow...)
- Steven Low, who posts frequently on the CF Message Boards, has good advice on golfers elbow in some of the injury forums. His posts tipped me off to the importance of eccentrics / reverse wrist curls. (Also has a link to perhaps the sickest exercise vid ever: kid at a gymnastics site doing a knuckle-to-back-of-hand pushup, easily, over and over. Supposedly great for golfers elbow? I can't even attempt it.)
- A crossfitter in England, Colin McNulty, extensively documented his rehab from golfers elbow. Just search for his name + golfers elbow. (Ultimately I think he recommends purchasing a particular book, which I haven't done.) Better for the writing style than actual 'what worked'
Below are exercises that seem to have helped, which more or less assume you're beyond intense pain in the elbow. Consensus I've read seems to be that frequent icing is how you get beyond the intense pain, followed by massage and/or rehab exercises...
- An exercise called the 'reverse tyler twist' which I do with a towel (cuz I don't have the recommended Thera-Bands), seems promising (eccentric against tension). Look er up on YouTube.
- Specific YouTube vids:
Dr. Pederson / Positive Motion Chiro -- "Golfers Elbow Exercises" -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kuj8YLAHZVg&feature=related -- good on ice, weird on elbow-band thing, good on stretching (@ 4 min mark) and dumbbell exercises (@ 5 min mark), with emphasis on slow eccentrics -- weirdest tip that has helped me: rubber-band exercise for wrist extensors @ 7 min mark. I was sure that was a loser exercise ("how could a rubber band exercise help with *anything*?"), but I can feel it working the affected tendon...
PT 'Krista' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qBRc7BJFKg&feature=related - to ice and stretching, adds something called a "nerve glide" which seems promising. Going to try it tonight since it will involve shoulder and wrist.
- One other vid, whose URL I can't find now, used regular and reverse wrist curls (like Pederson, above) but had you assist, with free hand, on the concentric phase to really focus on eccentric. Guy in the vid, a PT, said he'd gotten up to 40# single-wrist DB eccentrics! I'm in the 10#-20# range so far for assisted eccentrics. Have been mixing them with unassisted eccentric and concentric DB curls, both fwd and reverse, 2-3 sets of 15 each.
- Not sure where I sourced this recently, but I remembered my hockey buddies in high school did a sick forearm exercise: put a small weight (2.5-10#) on a 3' rope, connect rope to stick or short pole, then with palm down, roll the stick forward and knuckles away from you, winding rope on stick and weight up (so for about 10-15 eccentric reverse curls, weight travels up 2-3 feet), then reverse direction of roll still with palms down so knuckles are coming toward you, and roll the rope out and the weight down (15 concentric reverse wrist curls). Yesterday I did that cycle 5x with 2.5# and it felt like every tendon-muscle-tissue from elbow to pinkie, both hands, was engaged and blood-filled. Did that cycle 3x this morning with 10# and similar result. Will probably go to every other day on this one -- don't want to overdo it. I like it that both arms are getting punched by the same exercise.
If the folks who say tendons don't get enough blood flow are right, and that such blood flow is a key part of healing, then that last one is gold -- elbows hurt markedly less today.
I'm also looking into shoulder involvement in golfers elbow, as my rt. elbow is more pained than the left, and my rt. shoulder has much less ROM and much more crunchin' going on when I move the arm...

I did this WOD and yesterday and my balance was terrible when I was starting and as I got up in wieght the balance got better, but my pop to get the weight up was terrible as well... all in all not a good day for me with this WOD I must say.

took a couple minutes and then did Annie WOD for a speed component with 50,40,30,20,10 (D.U & situp) I do my situps with dumbells to anchor my feet: 4:20
then I did 20 all out burpee pullups with a little break and then did 10 burpee pullups.
I just wanted to do a few movements since my body was not doing so well with the OHS for a little variety.

Did it after court in the AM...knee a little sore still from slipping in a gravel parking lot during a chase...went all the way down to black box for the first time on an overhead squat...a little scary will try for more next time
Tonight
Did it at JC and tried to go all the way down to a wall ball...didn't make it once...next time I do these I will just go with less weight and try to do it right

Started heavier than last time, so didn't get to my 185 PR at the end (actually planned on 190 for the final set). The failed rep was a lack of focus on active shoulders.

Shoulders were spent from the post wod swim yesterday. I am trying to train for my first sprint triathalon in Oct. I've noticed that I have started doing a lot of things I never thought I could or would after doing crossfit. Things like gymnastics on the rings or on the floor, triathalons, etc. Many thanks to Coach and the CF community.
Is anyone else doing the Warrior Dash in Huntersville, NC on 8/28?
@130 Matt H-Thanks for such a long post...I'll be tracking down a lot of those things...mine fits the definition of golfer's elbow, but I don't golf and it flares up most when I play tennis (esp serve) and when I do pull-ups, which is a bummer for crossfit. Thanks again, much appreciated.

Balance issues as weight gets heavier; coming forward onto toes.

Then tried to see how many bw OHS I could do (15 is the eventual goal).

I was going great until rep 7, which was wobbly at the bottom, barely got it up, had to reposition. It took a lot out of me. Got 8, but then lost it forward at the bottom of 9.
