Hey all,
I need to take some time away from the heavier weights to let the knees, shoulders and elbows recover. Any submissions for the best butt-kicker workouts that use only bodyweight?
@#4 chelsea is one of the hardest workouts ive done since starting crossfit and it's all bodyweight movements. you should try that
Nice photo! Awesome to see more Coasties working out on the flight deck!

Right shoulder not feeling all that great.
The Crossfit community lost a great member yesterday. Those of us that had the privilege to know and train under Tim Devine at Groton Crossfit (CT) are better people for having known him. His spirit and enthusiasm were endless, cheering everyone for even the smallest gains. He held many fundraisers, just Sunday he raised over $2000 for Autism Speaks, and last month was over $3000 for Crossfit for Hope. A firefighter in the community and all around great guy, he will be missed, but never forgotten.

This question shouldn't be taken as a criticism, but as just a general curiosity. Why no swimming WODS? Swims have been featured in each of the past two CF games and running is a common occurrence.

RIP TIM DEVINE. Crossfit Groton needs the whole community's support right now. Not only was Tim an awesome part of my community but the Crossfit community as well. An amazing person whose life was cut wayy too short. Your memory will continue to live on, you touched the lives of so many.

I always rest exactly 3 minutes between sets on workouts like this. The consensus seems to be about 2-5 mins.

Failed on the heavier lifts, so decided to go lower and rep out. 2 months ago I got 210 for 3 reps. I have lost 13 pounds since starting CF in May and although I feel I am in much better shape, I have lost some max strength. To me, a very acceptable tradeoff!

Im real new to crossfit ,but I been lifting weights for over 10 years when you do the 2-2-2-2-2-2-2 or 5-5-5-5-5-5-5 workouts is that all that is done for the day or does it depend on the person?

@ #50, J.r
I did 6 60 yard sprints afterward today's WOD, just because I felt I needed something extra for fat burn. But what I have learned is you have the "right" to call it a day after completing the WOD. You never know what the next day holds for a workout so sometimes it is better just to walk away. Listen to your body is the best advice :)

Hi, Troops --
I need some input. At my core, I'm an endurance athlete (marathons, Ironman, XC skiing, etc.) and I'm struggling to get used to the WODs.
I do 3x15 of the classic warmup and then the WOD. I have to scale it like crazy, but it's still intense for me.
But then I feel obligated to do more cardio because I'm so used to doing 15+ mile runs.
I've heard that it can be actually detrimental to do cardio right after a WOD because of eating up muscle tissue. True? Lies?
I want to burn more calories/fat (coming back from a broken leg, which I treated with ice cream) but I also want to do this right.

@ # 66 Brynn
I'm new to this as well but from what I know getting your heart rate over 55% of max is going to ptu your body into a catabolic state and burn muscle for energy after your sugar stores are gone (which won't last too long)

Hi Bryn @66,
The WOD's are leaving you thrashed, even scaled? Easy call then. Either just do the WOD 3 on/1 off, or if you really like to run long distances cut out one or two WOD's week and do some running. The folks over at CF Endurance have a nice template utilizing interval training if that's your bent (I would rather do that than run any kind of long distance), but if you like running go ahead and run. Just don't beat yourself up by trying to do both when you are just starting CF and feeling like it's really a lot of work.
Welcome aboard. Fasten your seatbelt.

I was talking with the owner of my gym tonight about mobility on squats. I've always had trouble with leaning forward or I would fall back. He had me do a squat with my heals on plates. The squat became very easy. He told me the problem lies in ankles. Lack of mobility. I have never heard anyone say that before so I guess I'm looking for any comments pertaining to.....Thanks

As a former college athlete, I thought I knew all I needed to about exercising and fitness. Then I came across Crossfit.
After following Crossfit independently for about 6 weeks or so, I finally completed a WOD as rx'd:
125-145-155-165-175-175-185
Light loads, I know, but I have to lift from the floor, but I am stoked I was able to complete one of these things w/o mods. or subs.

Hoped to get 215, but happy with this. I don't push press that often, so this was fun and good work. 205 for 2 and 215 for 1 are default PRs. After, tried 225 for a single, but missed twice.
