Rich is a BEAST!!!

Jason,

Get after it bro! Thats inspirational.

Drew.

Jason Sturm is a beast!

Mikko Salo is a BEAST.

why is there a link to an article about minimum wage and youth unemployment in the United Kingdom? I don't get it

Jason Strum, your a bad ass!

IMA BEAST!

@SmokeyMcPot Weird, isn't it? USA isn't the only country in the world.

Oh you mean other countries besides the US exist in the world? Nevermind! I guess it makes total sense now why an article that no one that uses this website will read in its entirety is posted there.

Great job, Jason!

They're really doing ANOTHER cycle of the competition wods?? Common... CFE.com.... click...

Very impressive, Jason!!!

Very impressive, Jason!!!

I read the whole article...

Lol. Very funny math on that Forbes article, but we all saw that coming. I've seen plenty of data on the minimum wage argument, and if Forbes could only compare apples and oranges to get pears... Well... great job Jason, kick ass!

hell yes brother

This picture is too legit

How did stacy manage to put 99lbs on a bar??

Sick WOD with a sick picture, life is good

That is CrossFit! Thank you, Jason!

#15 Jason asked:
How did stacy manage to put 99lbs on a bar??
--------
99lbs is exactly 45 Kg. So a 15 KG bar, with two 15Kg weights would do it.

HTH, Dave T.

@Jason

45 lb barbell + 10kg x 2 plates (44 lbs) + 5lb x 2 (10 lbs) plates = 99 lb

if rich is a beast, sounds like speal is even more of one - since his time is one second faster

Awesome Jason! Inspiring brother; keep it up.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Camille's time. She's hot AND superhuman! Good lord!

I...am not a beast.

Any good replacement for the double unders?

Tuck jumps for double unders. But practice your damn double unders.

That is ALOT of DUs. I am going to have to scale this one for equipment (working out at the house today with no barbell but do have 40 lbs dumbells) as well as for ineffeciency with the DUs. How does the group feel about 6 rounds with 40lbers for the squats and 25 each round for the DUs? Does it take away from the effect of the WOD? Any advice please reply, thanks.

Any defense of the removal of minimum wage is preposterous.

Stick to fitness, CrossFit.

OHS unbroken, tripped up quite a bit on rope

@Sean (#39): Re. DU's, what did the trick for me was to really make an effort to keep my elbows in (touching the sides of my body), and *keep* that position while in movement (it's easy to lose form once you're tired).

Imagine you have an elastic band between your elbows, going behing your back.

Ah yes, remove the minimum wage. A decades old conservative arguement that still has no value.

I volunteer every day to check this site. it rocks. I probably agree with your politics too. But who cares. I love that this guy Strum is motivated to go to the gym and not use his handicap as a crutch. I would imagine that Crossfit only encouraged Mr. strum to take the world by the short and curleys instead of sit around feeling bad for himself.
good WOD today took me 14:35 to get through this. I need to work on DU's

9:16, as Rxed, a few sets

@#47 - I agree. This site is the best fitness resource I have ever run across AND it has an amazing amount of free resources. I personally like the main site's wide array of music, thought, photos, etc. And I'm glad CF-HQ doesn't just stick to fitness. It shows a very well rounded mindset which is the essence of CrossFit. I'm not threatened by a divergent article or other posting. Like my dear old dad once said, you could gold plate the toilet seats around here and there'd still be a sniveler...

I'm heading out now to firearms qualifications where I get to put CF to use when I sprint from cover to cover, go from standing to prone to kneeling, etc in rapid succession and basically have a great time on the combat course and at the impromptu challenges during our chow break. I pray I didn't offend any sensitive, humorless souls with my mention of firearms.

You're doing a great job Pukie!

2010 Northwest Regional Event 1

Three rounds for time of:
135 pound Overhead squat, 10 reps
50 Double-unders

time, a dismal 11:39

last time 7:08

That was rough. I was doing good, real good, I hit the first round unbroken on both, second round OHSs unbroken but hard and slow, DUs broke once I think, maybe twice.

Hit massive shoulder fatigue, I miss the first rep, got it, and dropped the bar, got reps 2,3 missed 4, missed 4 two more time, I was'nt sure I could do another rep. Focused, rested for a bit to let my shoulders ease up,told myself I WILL GET THIS DONE. Got the bar up, shoulders screaming, brain telling me ''ignore it and get a rep'' then I got the last 6 in a row just barely getting rep 10.
DUs broke 3 time on last set.

I know it is from all the MUs and HSPUs from yesterday. It is what it is. I did all I could do today. It just hurts to have done so poorly, I was in line for a good pr at the start. Still I'm glad I finished and pushed through.

As rx'd:

8:35

Forgot to say warmed up today for 6am swim-wod with 30sec Samson and 7-5-3 reps of (1pood KBS, dips) -- took about 90 secs.

Once again, a fast-timed-weighted warmup leads to better WOD'ding for me (cut 79 secs, or just under 10%, off my swim-pushup WOD time today).

Later today, with kid in gym, going to do CFE power clean WOD. Following ideas from brian p and others of you, I'm thinking of adding 1-2 CFE WODs per week. Will be interesting to see how to do that while preserving recovery.

Good stuff on the swim WOD! Yeah, a double every now and then (CFE and/or strength work) is definitely good, add them in slowly and watch recovery. If your sleep and nutrition are lacking it will wear you down over time.

With one set every 45-60 seconds, it probably shouldn't have been surprising how much those first 4-5 sets took out of legs, hips, form, arms, everything. Tnat first single was like running into a brick wall.

Stick to fitness CrossFit. I'm getting tired of the loaded articles posted on this site. We get that you have a conservative, military, republican, white base - but don't make it that painfully obvious.

Having some major shoulder issues lately. I think my kipping pullups are the source of the problem. I thought I tore something and have been nursing it for about 3 weeks. It's weird bc I can do lots of challenging things and then I can barely put baby food in the microwavfe. Any ideas?

good squats, frustrating double unders.

6.56 with 95# and tuck jump sub.

Surprisingly tuck jumps are a lot harder than the double unders

22/m/5'11"/169

When I read this I knew I would have to scale the weight for the squats, but I also said "I CAN'T jump rope."

Guess what? I was wrong. Although I couldn't do any double unders yet, I did complete all three rounds with 50 jumps and the last round I made it all the way through.

I took my weights for the OHS off the rack. It did not specify from the floor.
I was too conservative on my first set. I did 7 + 3. the other two rounds I went unbroken for my OHS. I had to fight for the last one but unbroken. I was too willing to stop and rested, thinking that this was going to add up fast and I would not be able to keep up a good pace. I underestimated myself.
I also used wrist wraps for the first time last night. It did help and my wrists are not sore at all. Typically they are a bit sore after heavier OHS. This was a fun WOD... I felt pretty fresh very soon after so I did some KB swings about 10 rps with 35 lbs, then 55 lbs, then 70 lbs. I did these with about 30-60 secs rest between sets. I id these to get a little burn in some areas that teh WOD did not hit to kind of balance me out a bit. I was kind of sore in my frontal shoulers.. this was more rear delts and mostly hamstrings.
Good WOD.

Funny statistics from Forbes. Even funnier that it´s never a YOUTH who writes those kind of articles, demanding less pay... It´s easy to say to someone ELSE that they should work for less. Do it yourself and your argument might seem more reasonable.

Subbed 95# DB front squat (box gym was crowded)

7:45

5:14 ( 8 ohs per round. scaled the same way last time but did double unders first each round) I've also been sick for 2-3 weeks and have been resting a lot.

As rx'd, 4:34 (PR).

Double-unders went better than last time. Only 3 misses - two in round 1, and one in round 3. OHS were a little shaky, but got through them unbroken. PR by a minute. Used regular shoes (not oly).

9:42 55k (90%) 21.11.11 felt the extra 5k
