Funny, I just did shoulder presses today. I'm so off the schedule, dadgummit

It's not everyday you get to pull a Navy Jet around.

115,135,145,155(4),155(4)
Did yesterday !?

She can pull all she wants. Just don't let her drive that thing! Notice the hand over the cockpit.

That's the brake rider, in case the tow bar breaks.

Great interview with bob Harper (from what insaw of the preview). That show is inspirational; my family loves it. As I was watching this season I kept telling my wife, "that is rogue equipment, i will bet you bob is a crossfitter." made me place several orders with rogue. This interview makes me want to subscribe to the journal.

Cool picture! The rope was photo shopped in...She is actually out running the jet prior to takeoff.

Bob Harper, Spot on re: CrossFit/ Extremely scaled is appropriate, and way better than no CrossFit at all.

Haha. How funny, I also did shoulder presses today using a 5/3/1 program. I also did a gymnasticbodies.com WOD as well. You guys should check it out, theres some great stuff on that site.

How much does a F-18 weigh I wonder?...that is quite a feats of strenght I might add...good job!!

Ha that's funny, I did shoulder presses today then finished with a 400m F-18 drag. I knew it. You guys are so predictable.

Kinda new to crossfit. Coming from a powerlifting background, these "strength" days seem to be really low volume. Do you guys add any metcons or additional workouts to days like these? It just seems a bit....short haha. Thanks for the help.

cmarty moving weight!!!!!

That just seems like a waste of tax money.

I was expecting 2012 CrossFit Games Regional:
Individual Event 3. Sad Face

maybe tomorrow...

Hornet!!!

@ Harry #10
The newer model F-18's known as the Super Hornet and Growlers weighed in around 33,000lbs if my memory is correct.
The one she is pullin is an older model F-18 referred to as a baby or regular hornet and is probably just under 30k without any fuel.

#12/Justin

Some people do, I find that it depends on how beat up I am from the previous cycle. It can be a good time to work on some of your goats in a lower pressure situation.

My advice: if you're going to add strenuous extra work, make it in th same muscle group. As sure as you add that set of overhead squats it'll be a part of the next days WOD and you'll be doubling up. I might throw in some hand stand pushups tomorrow post WOD.

45-50-55-60 failed on 5th-60 failed on 3rd

#18/Dave

Thanks alot man. I appreciate the reply. I might add a a set or two of high pull/ HSPU circuits or go for a really light run. I'm feeling well rested...might as well!

Hooyah Navy!

115-135(4,F)-125-135-145(2,F)

That's a damn cool photo.

Been doing crossfit for 2 months so far and have been loving it!
45, 95, 115, 135, 155(6)

Just know that the 5-5-5-5-5 part are reps that are not part of your warmup reps, so they need to be heavy for you. Example 315 # Deadlift is still considered part of my warm-up reps with my PR at 405# so I wouldn't count 315# as one of my working reps.

epic!

65-95-115-135-155

As a former Biggest Loser Asia contestant, I can tell you that Crossfit-style training was a huge advantage in achieving my goals. It's great to see Bob Harper helping to marry the program with a group that needs it so much. Ultimately, the cycle of long, slow cardio and non-paleo carbs will find most of these folks with blunted results and re-gains when they drop the hours of cardio to return to a normal life. Hope the relationship grows.

How does the 5-5-5-5-5 work? Do I do 5 reps of a heavy weight, rest a period of time and then 5 more reps at a heavier weight, and so on.

How long is the break between sets?

Thanks....

Bob Harper's observations & comments were awesome! If a newbie is going to embrace CrossFit over the long haul, especially when they come from a non-athletic background,the zealots have to cheer them on rather than negatively critique the crap out of them. As a 57 year-old 210 lb. former marathoner turned CrossFit newbie-zealot myself there are benchmark workouts & loads that I can not accomplish & may not ever attain. But my goal is to reach 100% of MY capability even if that doesn't turn out to be the Rx on a particular WOD.

55/55/65/65/75 (failed first 75, last 4 at 65)

I've been convinced. Starting Crossfit today.

95-105-105-105-115

Look out! There is an airplane behind you!

Can't wait to to this WOD. Hopefully I can get above 165 lbs on the reps.

I plan to run 2 miles after the workout.

Red tails? VFA-31 maybe?

That looks like an FA-18C, and with the two pylons, fuel tank (under the belly), and Tactical Forward Looking InfraRed (TFLIR) camera under/outside the port engine, person doing brake-rider duties, and with zero fuel, that epoxy rocket should weigh about 26,700 pounds or so.

She qualified for Mid-Atlantic Regionals

I think I went through EOD school with that chick. Would have been about 6-7 years ago.

1st day of crossfit!
75/85/85/95/95

@34

Yeah, the goal is to do as much weight in five reps as possible. My plan when I approach these is to pick a weight, and if I can successfully do the five reps, I increase the weight for my next set of five. If I can barely do my fifth rep, I may stick with that weight so I can get the full five reps. If I fail, I may drop a little weight so I can complete. Listen to your body, that's the key.

Isn't the guy (Chris M) in the WOD video overextended thru the core the whole WOD? What's the point of getting your head thru (as the videographer yells at one point!) if your body is out of whack? Yeah ok, it's overhead.. But it seriously looks like there's other stuff that needs attention. He even says he tries to stay tight....?

Did this yesterday, only did two rounds both at 135.

Nice work TomO and Bill M. Old guys get it done, yo!

Excellent picture today, also.

@ #53 - Don't worry Jess...we all have to start somewhere. The most important thing is that you started!! This is one of my weakest lifts...

This Jet pull was a Charity event Hosted by Brute Strength Gym Norfolk VA. Raised money for the Wounded Warrior Project.

95-105-115-125-135

Backed off on weights because I have been doing push presses in later sets and I wanted to be very strict. This was pretty good but I think I had a few more pounds in me. Next time:)

I'm new to crossfit and I'm considering doing this WOD. Is this just a regular strict barbell military press, just making sure?

I felt okay about this. I did it a bit rushed, so I feel like I could have gotten 125x5 or even 130x5 had I given myself more rest between rounds.

Felt better today. Good job w/core tightness - abs, back, butt. Bar at clavicle, no lower. Last set was tough, but not bad otherwise.

Didn't go for the extra reps on sets four and five since I didn't stand a chance of getting them up. Super-setted these with deadlifts, so probably weakened the load a bit.
