The NY Times laughably claimed eating red meat increases the risk of death. Fortunately, Zoe Harcombe explains the flaws in their study.

how do you break down the turkish getups, 21 each arm, so 42 a round?
Zoe needs to take a statistics course. Multivariate models honey
"keeping the goal the goal"
That sounds so familiar...
John, "Never Give Up" by Dan John has a great explanation of "keeping the goal the goal" and that is where the influence comes from. It is a great book and I am a big fan of his writing.
Cheers,
Matt
I attended the L1 trainer course at CrossFit Milford this weekend, and I learned more about the functionality and techniquenod CrossFit in 2 days, than I have in 6 years of Crossfitting on my own. EC, Spencer, Keith, Jenn, James, Austin, and Dave, thank you all for a great experience and an amazing foundation to work on and train from.

Great Group in Orlando......Welcome to my world !!!
TJ-CrossFit East -
Just got done with the level one at USD. The guys were awesome! Great learning experience. to see people that do this day in and day out and are still THAT enthusiastic about it? Awesome.
Thanks to all the coaches at the CF L 1 course in St.Charles MO this weekend. It was a great experience... loved it!!!
Man...I haven't done TGUs in a long time. This is gonna be interesting.
Amazing Level 1 Certification class at Crossfit Asia. Thank you Doug, Drummond, Erik, Stacey and Brett for a wonderful weekend.
Just finished the L1 seminar in St. Charles, MO. Awesome experience. Tons of information and tons of fun. Joe Degain: keep on doing what you're doing; you're great at it. Kurtis, Abby, Joe W and Rudy - top notch coaches. I hope to achieve the same effect with my future clients. Rudy, thanks for teaching me rope climbs!
@mike zolo
21 total per round, switch arms as needed.
unless you want this to be a 2hr workout...
Can't remember the last time I had so much fun getting WORKED!! Kudos to the boys who ran the Level 1 class at USD this weekend. The energy and passion for our sport was incredible.
Excellent weekend of learning at the CrossFit Level 1 Certification course in Golden, Colorado. The Coaches were awesome. They kept it fun, energetic, and definitely educational. Thanks to all for the great experience this weekend. It will not ever be forgotten. Jim Tapia www.CrossFitContinuum.com
What is the rx''d weight for women for the Turkish getup?
Hello friends this message is about Level 1 certification exam here in mexico the translation in Spanish is very confused and not understand I want to explain how you do that and fail 2 times and you will say to study more but the problem is that on the first test and got 34 points in the second 32 and where is the logic I asked for help from a coach of the seminar and told me luck is a matter of luck is for losers and hopefully I will not train clients when have them if I can help thank you very much.
Great level 1 training class at CrossFit TNT.
Thank you very much Joe, Joe , Carl, Rudy and Abby.
You guys were wonderful and I learned a lot .
Mel I would say a 35lb bar would be about right for the ladies... Someone correct me if I'm wrong please
Congratulations to all of the people in Golden and elsewhere for completing the level1 cert this weekend!
Interesting articles on red meat. Hard to believe that anyone would claim that consumption of red meat would be the sole cause of a 0.2% risk of death do to cancer, CVD, etc. There are many other variables addressed in the follow-up articles, but one I see ignored and often forgotten in the Paleo diet, as well as a lot of other diets, is additives and preservatives themselves can be carcinogenic or at least linked to cancer and other diseases. People often forget or ignore the fact that eating all-natural/organic is an important part of the paleo diet and, I believe, health in general. Note - by default, cavemen only ate organic foods and free range meats.
Great weekend at the Level 1 cert. at the home of the Colorado State Patrol in Golden Colorado. Great community of people. Look forward to spending some time under the rings with a few.
Uh Oh...
Why does HQ have a video of "Efficiency Tips: Handstand Push-Ups" by Speal?
HSPU in 12.5 anyone?
Thanks to the coaches who dedicated their weekend to presenting a wonderful Level 1 course at TNT! Can't wait to start implementing the material.
Why doesn't the Crossfit main site organize a study on nutrition? Most crossfitters eat a good amount of meat. But the Crossfit community probably has the largest number of strict paleo adherents. A lot of people keep food logs. It wouldn't be the most scientific study but it would be interesting to have people all get blood tests in a given week, and then continue to track blood markers on a periodic basis. You could track strict paleo, zone, non paleo, and people who regularly eat junk. Might be interesting.
What would be the blood markers to follow?
Had one of the BEST experiences in my CrossFit Journey this weekend as I attended the Level 1 cert at CrossFit Asia. Thank you to all the wonderful trainers: Doug, Stacey, Erik, Brett & of course the ever lively Drummond. You guys were great & reminded me how much I love CrossFit! THANKS a bunch MATES!!!
"The NY Times laughably claimed". No, they did no. They reported on a study. That is what news organizations do. What a terrible description.
Completed the L1 Cert at Crossfit TNT this weekend. Gotta say thank you first to Rochelle for providing the place to learn!
Also want to thank Joe D, Kurtis, Rudy, Abi, Joe W and Leah for all the great delivery of information. Got everything I hoped I would get out of this adventure. Great job to all who helped put this together, even the ones I never met back at HQ!
Thank you!

Shout out to all the Crossfitter's and great coaches at USD this weekend, It was great watching people grow, learn a lot more about the lifestyle and breakdown of CrossFit.
Thanks for everything guys
Had a blast this weekend. The coaching was was amazing. I was able to put into practice some coaching tips that I learned within hours of leaving. I felt 100% confident about the movements and the corrections I was teaching. Also with some awesome technique corrections I was able to punch the unicorn of Crossfit in the face and BLAST out my first strict muscle up. Thanks guys had a great weekend in San Diego.
Wow, I´m really alergic to dietary bigotism.
Fact there are a lot of Paleo / Zone eaters doing crossfit. They claim they lead a totaly healthy lifestyle.
Fact, they (all) have cheat meals more often than once a month (did cave men?) They drive their cars everywhere including to the gym, (did cave men?)
Why can´t we all just get along?
There is a huge probability we over consume meat and raise CO2 levels, yes.
If people just cook food from scratch, eat varied ingredients and vegetables, stay away from white sugar and park their cars 3 days a week. Not to mention skip their cheat days and beers. Everyone would be more crossfit than ever.

Awesome experience at the CFL1 cert in Okinawa this weekend! I've been itching to get back into the community since a recent shoulder surgery, and this was exactly the breath of fresh air I needed. Drummond, Erik, Stacey, Doug and Brett had endless resources for ways to rehab, and surpass my old bests. Thank you all so much. Looking forward to running with lions again!
A big thanks to the Coaching Staff at the Level 1 in Orlando this weekend. Each coach brought their own unique flair but tied in together well. The organization was off the charts. Always a bonus to get taught the squat progression by Spealler. Thanks for a great weekend, team!
32:47 as rx- holy crap that was hard
I'm not sure which is more laughable. The fact that you are claiming the New York times wrote up this article (which is incorrect), or the fact you are citing some no-name fad diet blogger that eating red meat is OK.
From one teacher to another, CFL1 at crossfitAsia in Okinawa this weekend was so educational! The lessons and information I gained where fabulous. Doug, Stacey, Drummond, Brett, and Erik were informative and inspirational. Thank you for believing in the CFKP chicks from Atsugi.
The Level 1 Cert in Orlando was awesome! It was a huge help for me and I enjoyed every minute of it! Thanks a lot to all of the Trainers - Xmas is once again my new favorite holiday... oh, and I got to meet Chris Spealler - pretty cool weekend!
Great experience this weekend at CF Central London. Jami, Karl, Math, Steve, Sophie and Federico were all exceptional. Looking forward to growing and continuing on my CrossFit journey.
It's business time!
Remember everyone, the real purpose behindthe "study" is political not nutritional. The Enviromentalist Wacko movement has for decades tried to push the danger of red meat because cattle husbandry "is a waste of space that can more productively be used to grow veggies." Also cattle are large producers of methane gas which is why the world will blow up in 20yrs because of global warming. Anyway, it's all a basic rant, much of the finer things left out.

Huge "Thank You!" to all the coaches at the L1 Cert at CF Orlando this weekend. I loved every minute of it and could not shut up about it at the gym this morning. I'm recommending the cert to everyone I know.
You guys rock. Thanks for an amazing weekend.
Little embarrasing but 48 min and 4/5 rounds with 15kg dumbell only :/ that was à hard one! Really tough! You think that you're fit - you've tried CF!
The L1 Cert in St. Charles was phenomenal! Coach Joe, Joe, Kurtis, Leah, Abby and Rudy were all extremely knowledgeable and always willing to take the time to help answer questions and share their wealth of knowledge. I think everyone in CrossFit would benefit from the information shared this weekend.
I like that the CF site showed both sides of the argument and not just one. I advise people about nutrition all the time, but they're the ones that have to make the decision on what they are going to consume. For more info on a similar study that was done on a much larger scale over the period of almost 30 Yrs. read a book named "The China Study" Its very detailed and not politically motivated.

Hey Ted, who are you calling a no-name fad-diet blogger?
"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
Took the Level 1 this weekend (USD) and it was the most amazing experience!!!
Thank you Eric, Zach, Dave, Conner, Stephan, and Nunu for being such an amazing people. You guys are very inspiring!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed my cert at CrossFit TNT - St. Charles, MO this weekend. Not only did I learn a TON of information, I also got to meet some wonderfully nice CrossFitters. The CrossFit community is amazingly supportive and I love that! Thanks Joe, Abby, Kurtis, Rudy, and Joe for teaching me so much! Not only did I improve my own movements, but now I can confidently help others improve theirs. Well worth every second of my time!
Did this at the fire dept going on a 49 hour shift at the time. Got to 3rd round finished 9 reps before popping a chest pain call so had to stop short...started rx'd then after 10 tgu's with he BB, had to drop to 25# db. 20:07 when I stopped. Might finish up when my relief gets to the station.
One of the reasons I switched to db was because the ceiling was very low and the BB was kicking my arse

Used a 12.5 lb. dumbbell for the Turkish Get-ups. This is a hard one, even scaled down!

Holy crap that was tough. 39:45 subbed 10 lb dumbbell. First time trying TGUs. So happy they don't show up too often!

3.5 rds (20 LB DB & ran out of time)
20:33
Had to scale it - tried a 24 lb. bar and did 5 on my right side, and could barely do 2 on the left. So I downgraded to a lighter bar - between 15-18 lbs I think. Did that for first 3 sets, moved to 18 lb kettlebell for last 2 sets.
Felt like it took forever: 45:36
I did it outside though and it's a beautiful day in the suburbs of Atlanta!

It was a good quick rope climb session Jesse! I won't promise NO shin burns just a lot less.
Had a fantastic weekend with the amazing Coaches/Trainers Joe, Joe, Abby, Kurtis, Leah, and Rudy at the L1 class in St. Charles, MO. You guys are the BEST. I now know that I have been CrossFitting "wrong" for nearly 5 years and am so excited to learn how to do it correctly and how to teach others as well. If you love fitness and CrossFit even more and have not been to an L1 class yet - I HIGHLY recommend going, it is well worth the money to get such a wealth of knowledge in a short time frame. I am grateful for all the tools you guys placed in my "tool belt" this weekend and to the owners of CrossFit TNT for allowing us to take over your box for the weekend - you have an amazing facility. Thank you!
I attended the L1 Cert in Orlando,FL and I wanted to thank all the coaches for their knowledge and help throughout the course. I enjoyed every moment and if I wasn't sore enough from doing 12.4 the day before, I never thought I would do so many squats in my life! If you are passionate about Crossfit as I am, I encourage everyone to go the this class!
M/23/5'10"/188
33:33
Scaled down to 25# DB. otherwise as rx'd.
Many thanks to the L1 trainers for trading St Patrick for St Charles. I learned many tools for my toolkit, the first being: it might not be the best idea to do 12.4 at 7 am, a squat clinic all day, and Fran at 4pm if you would like to have functioning quads. Thanks again, great weekend!
36:14 w/ 55lbs barbell same run distance and rounds... Man that was allot harder than I thought it would be. Thank goodness for Lamb of God playing really loud the whole time.

Justin,
Check this for TGU explained:
http://www.wannabebig.com/training/the-turkish-get-up/
Basically start flat on back with weight in one arm out over face. Stand and then return to ground without dropping the weight, supporting it with free hand, or bending at the elbow. Really tough to explain, but thought I'd give it a shot. Good luck and stay safe over there.

Did 50 DU's and did a couple of 45lb barbell TGU for cool down.
26:35 as rx'd. I was just saying how I haven't done TGUs in awhile.
32:15. 3 rounds. Mechanics were solid, just didn't feel the need to spend another :30 exercising consistency. Not an intesity WOD. Be mindful of knee protection for future WOD; flooring was abrasive.
subbed 35lb DB instead of the bar, and still took me 40:12
Definitely a mental workout (and shoulder...)
34:21
Not enough space for the barbell. Worked well, because I ended up scaling the get-ups to 35#. I do not feel cheated at all. Thinking about doing sandbag get-ups next time, if only to get even weirder looks in the gym.
Subbed 8kg KB for TGU

I did a different WOD last night.
I did 3 rounds of:

Good workout and felt good.. I was pretty o.k. after a few minutes.
I went downstairs and then did 3 rounds of:
10 ring pushups with static hold of right arm extension then left arm extension.
+ 10 body ring rows.
All movements were slow and steady to really work the range of movement (ROM) of my shoudler and my back.. both on my left side are super tight and been holding me back that past 2 weeks. I'm trying to rest them and stretch them a lot. They are o.k. I want to do the last Open WOD and then get back to regular heavy training and hopefully the shoudler will respond.

very tough wod
Havent posted in awhile, but im proud to have done this one as rx'd, even if it did take 60:10. Just had to take my time with the first few rounds of tgu to get my form down. By the end i was moving faster.
Only had time for 3 rounds, in about 34 minutes. User error on stopwatch (accidentally stopped it when picking up the barbell, and did not know it).
43:46
This was an awesome WOD!!
30# barbell first 2 rounds, 20# barbell last 3
Relatively slow runs on treadmill for me, due to slightly strained left leg going in.

bar was a nice twist... HARD, LONG WOD... VERY TAXING.
This was one of the longest and beat you down WODs in a long time. I felt like my first week into CF... and I've been CFing for about 5-6 years now.
For me, high rep TGUs are really taxing... and this was a twist with the bar...
last night I did heavy OHS & then followed up with intervals of KB swings and DU..
I did the TGUs in 3 reps sets on each hand and then switched to minimize the time the bar was on the ground... it's a bit awkward to get setup each time and taxing so I wanted to minimize that function. I was doing 6-9 then rest a few seconds ,then 6, 6,+ 3.. then run and repeat. My left shoulder has been nagging me for a little while now, but it was o.k. for this WOD. I really was thinking of stopping after 4 rounds but just gutted it out. I was looking forward to the runs (I did mine on a treadmill.. from 9.0 - 10.0 mph)
HARD LONG WOD.
Rx'd 43:32, each 400m run included running up and down 6 flights of stairs.
It didn't feel like I could have gone much faster. TGU's take forever. Switched hands each rep. 1L-1R-1L-1R...
First round did 6L-5R-4L-3R-2L-1R. This strategy worked until fatigue set it. Then, had to break up into 1's. First round took 8 minutes. Remained consistent throughout all five rounds.
Subbed 35 lbs kettlebell. Didn't leave enough time for full thing (which woulda taken forever), so:
Three rounds:
16 get ups/400m run
10 getups/400m
10 getups/400m

Did not want to do more rounds as I could feel it in my shoulders. Knees hurt like hell too. Not sure how to prevent that.
