Question: Are hollow rocks counted back and forth equals one rep?
Great picture. As a vacation/experience I'd like to attend a cert at Southie one day...
I believe this is Amsterdam and they just came out of a "smoke shop" (;
So do I do a handstand walk like in the picture after the kb swings? How far do I walk on my hands, 400m?
The times for this WOD are FAST! Great job everyone.
Cheese and f'n crackers. Under 5 minutes, really? That's bananas!
Any ideas for a substitution for KB's? I don't think I have access to those. I think that might be the only thing!
Use a 55 lb dumbbell for the swings if you can.
And for hollow rocks, I typically count back and forth as one rep. Not sure if that's right or not, but it seems logical.
Lower back aggravated, break time

Been a while since doing an xfit workout. Scaled it a bit.

Today I did 5 mins of pepper skipping with 100 double unders to finish. My main workout was 5 overgrasp chinups/heaves, 10 pushups and 15 hindu squats at the start of every minute for 30 mins. Then finished with the same skipping as what I started with. Now feelin' good haha:)
WOD demo at Guerilla Fitness was awesome. Great video guys.
Cheers
22:29, using 30 kg (1.86 pood) KB. I have to say, 155 lbs is a hell of a lot of weight for 7-rep sets. I was breaking those down to one's, practically.
I just don't understand the KB swings (from MOST of the videos I see). There is no arch in the swing, more of a basterdized SDHP with weird swing at the end...
Hey is that Epstein and Francona leaving Fenway?
7:52
hips tired from previous days 1 rep maxes.
got like two cleans unbroken into the second round. next time try for four or more.
I think CF is producing its own music for the vids. Cheaper? Yes. Better (than available music)? Not usually.

Unfortunately it is exorbitantly expensive to pay royalties on commercially available music. CF HQ is taking the high road by not poaching music from the artists.
Partner WOD today that involved hanging from a PU bar. Man, is my grip fried. 155# C&J 5 reps/10 30" Box Jumps while partner hangs, AMRAP 20.
155# is heavy for little guys like me; I scaled while Lil'bingo went as Rx'd.

Rest day for me. Will probably do this tomorrow.
Went to local cf box this am and had intro session with owner/trainer. Nice guy w/ some good coaching tips. Less work than I expected, and not enough warmup for my taste, but tasks I don't ever do:
300m row for max wattage (521); 40 air squats for time (46 secs), max pushups until significant break in plank / posture (45), then another 10.
Anyone else have experience to share w/ free intro cf classes or workouts?

First time doing squat cleans in any multiple-round wood, I think - have generally sub'd in power cleans until today. Went very light w weight bc still wasn't sure how rt knee would play. Did okay, so if it feels good for next few days can probably do sc and up weight from here on in. Will be quite a while until I can do 155# sc for reps however ;

As rx'd, 8:55.
Those squat cleans got a little heavy. First round unbroken in just over 1 minute, but then started pacing. Broke squat cleans 4-3 and then 3-2-2 and mostly singles in the last round. Tried to focus on position, both at the starting pull and finishing catch positions. I have a tendency to get a little lazy in both of these areas. KB swings stayed unbroken - these didn't kill my grip suprisingly, it was harder on my lower back. This was a tough one; I liked it.
In filter, 8:55. Tough but good.
