A great weekend. Great instructors and a great class.

One of the greatest weekends ever. Such an inspirational learning experience. Awesome coaches Erik, Katie, Dave,nuno, and forgetting names. Crossfit Scottsdale rocked my weekend! THANKS GUYS!

One of the best weekends ever!!! These guys have a passion for what they do and it clearly shows. I want to say thank you to all of my coaches, Chuck, Nicole, Mel, Andy, Spencer and James. You guys and gals were truly amazing and I will never forget this weekend!! Thanks again!

Best weekend EVER!!! Thanks again to Chuck, Nicole, Mel Andy, Spencer and James for an amazing weekend! You all have a lot of passion for what you do and it shows. Keep up the Great work coaches!!! EASY DAY!!

Dont have a rower at work so sdlhp's it is. For others who don't have rowing capabilities the substitution is as follows:

Rowing 500m is equivalent to 50 sumo deadlift high pulls. From mid shin to chin. Men 45# Woman 30#

Thank you to everyone at CrossFit NorCal for an amazing weekend. I learned so much and am excited to share everything I learned with others! Unforgettable!

#3 Jfurtado,

I dont agree with SDHP as a sub. You're talking 150 SDHP with a #45 bar. Pulling your elbows into shoulder-impingment position 150 times is of very little benefit.

When you row, you do not, at least you SHOULD not, pull the bar up to your neck. That's highly inefficient at rowing is more legs than arms. You get very little extra mileage out of that last few inches from your sternum and your throat.

So who said SDHP is the sub for rowing? Someone, sometime, maybe on BrandX decided that but users of this board can sub ANYTHING for ANYTHING. There are no rules.

Rowing 500 meters is primarily going to be a lung exercise. Why not sub 100 double unders? Or focus on the leg/hip explosion aspect of it and do cleans? How about 10 cleans at #135 plus 25 burpees?

The instructors at CrossFit Scottsdale rocked! Erik, Jason, Nuno, Dave, Katie, Mallory and Camzin, thank you so much. Never thought just getting set up for DLs and SDHP could work my hamstrings so much! Obviously something to work on!

Who says thats the sub? Um the FAQ on this website says SDHP sub for rowing lol

Absolutely outstanding weekend. Thanks to all the trainers. Top notch group of professionals!

-Atlanta L1 cert

Awesome class and team of instructors; thanks Russell, Neal, Jason, Michelle,Kim,Austin,Zach, et al: The Best!!!

#4 I just posted what the FAQ stated cause I figured many would ask about subs if they didn't have a rower. It's up to the individual if they want to follow that or not.

Thanks crossfit norcal Jason, Austin, zach, Neal, russel, Miranda, Kim, michelle, and everyone else. I had an amazing time this weekend learning from you all! Excited to see how much more I can learn!!!

Great Talk by Coach Glassman at the CrossFit Tour in Big Sky Montana - waiting for CrossFit Media to do a "We Built This" Crossfit Commercial countering/mocking the Obama "You Didn't Build That" foolishness. Would especially like an affiliate owner duplicating a Coach Glassman arriving at oh-dark-thirty in 1995 (?), in the morning fog, pulling up the roll-up door, cleaning the toilet, mopping the floor, etc - all without gov't help but plenty of gov't interference with respect to zoning and event permits and the like. Years later, when it is popular, when what Coach Glassman was chosen by the grunts in the field, Coach Glassman finally gets some gov't help

Did someone say something about the Jetsons?!
CF is free in all senses of the word. Do you!

Comment #9 I checked both the FAQ and the most current Level 1 guide book and the SDHP is one of the main 9 key movements as stated in the guide book. The FAQ stated the SDHP can be used as stated in comment#3. I would think to copy the rowing movement better the movement should be to your sernum not the chin. If this a bad movement why is it a key movement? If is not a safe movement I don't understand why it is used as a key movement in training or is the number of reps? Maybe a Level 2 coach could clarify that for all of us?

Thanks NorCal!! I am honored to have been trained by world-class athletes!

Woo! CrossFit Games Behind The Scenes videos are coming out. Awesome! Really enjoyed last year's.

@ #9 Pat McCarty - In many ways I agree with your point about the neck upright row being high and putting your shoulder in a vulnerable position.

The upright row does work similar muscles to the rowing motion but there maybe a better sub? Burpees and double unders are ok but the WODS are programmed a certain way for a reason. Similar muscle groups will have to be used to the rower.

The Sumo Deadlift High Pull is also in Crossfit WODS and the foundational movements so if it's safe and effective for them...

CFL1 at CF Atlanta was amazing... Our set of trainers were stacked!! Chuck Spencer Andy Nicole James and Mel were all awesome! I wish it was a week long :)

Great experience this weekend!! Thank you Kimmy, Danny, Doug, and Connor!! I had a blast!

Russell, Neal, Jason, Michelle,Kim,Austin,Zach,Miranda & everyone;

What a truly amazing weekend!! I think I learned some of the most beneficial information over the course of these two days than I have in the majority of my CrossFit career. Thats not to say that I have not learned anything in the past year & a half. However, this weekend you focused on the foundation, the "bread and butter" of CrossFit & I think thats what helps develop such strong and amazing athletes.

I am excited to implement these new skills in my own training & also help teach these skills to others. The only thing I wish was that the time learning from you guys wasn't over so soon.

Thank you for everything this weekend. ;)

Thanks to Stacey, Ollie, Hollis and a special shout out to Brett Fford for an amazing weekend at CrossFit Brisbane. Awesome crowd, amazing gym and everything approached with an open mind. "there is no such thing as a bad exercise". No dead ends, nothing discouraged, good skills Brett.

Hopefully my wife is as lucky I was to catch up with one of these instructors when she does the course in Melbourne in a few months. CrossFit, you have an amazing team, keep these guys happy! :)

Chuck, Andy, James, Spencer, Mel, and Nicole were amazing in Atlanta this weekend!! Incredible trainers, teachers, and motivators. These guys are THE BEST at what they do!!

I went in not expecting much and came out completely impressed.

The Crossfit Atlanta L1 Cert led by Chuck, Mel, Nicole, James, Spencer & Andy absolutely blew me away. The 6 seminar staff trainers exhibited virtuosity when it came down to breaking down all of the fundamental/functional movements of crossfit. Their knowledge was not only vast on the subject matter, but their ability to pass that on to the members of the class was masterful.

I tested each staff member with questions that we have all ready on the internet about controversial things that Crossfit does, and their responses were objective and fact-based. They also did not dismiss the contrarian thoughts right away and listed to what we had to say.

I came away from the weekend more excited than ever to better myself, better others and pursue this as a career.

I typically run in the opposite direction of anyone's koolaid, but whatever Chuck, James, Nicole, Mel, Spencer, & Andy are selling...I'm buying.

Had a great time at the Level 1 course, hosted by CrossFit Atlanta. The trainers were incredible! The course was very well-organized and professional. It is very apparent that CrossFit HQ takes this very seriously and exceeds expectations in terms of providing the knowledge and tools to be a better athlete and a better coach. I really enjoyed the weekend and look forward to, hopefully, working with all of you again someday. Special thanks to Chuck, Nicole, Mel, Spencer, Andy, and James. You guys did an excellent job, NO QUESTION!!! (And "hell yeah", Coach Andy, I do have enthusiasm unknown to man!)

Probably one of the best weekends of my life! Thank you to Russell Berger, Jason Khalipa, Neal Maddox, Miranda Oldroyd, Zach Forrest, Austyn, Michelle and anyone else I'm forgetting... Awesome course only thing I would change is I wish I could stay longer! Thanks guys!

Question: is it ok to sub out BOTH exercises in a workout and still get the same effects? I kept the workout pretty intense even with the subs.

Level 1 Cert at CF Atlanta completely transformed my mindset about Crossfit. Even if you have no intention of being a coach, it is worth every bit of $1000. Chuck, Andy, Spencer (freaking Hendel), James, Mel and Nicole made the whole weekend interesting and fully applicable to not only our WOD and box functions, but to our daily life and nutritional regiments. Such a great experience. This weekend was proof that Crossfit not only hires the best trainers, but some of the best businessmen and women, to represent their product. And I don't care how much Chuck Carswell gets paid, he deserves a raise. The whole weekend made me proud to be associated with this organization.

This was my first attempt at Crossfit, ever. Didn't warm-up, as I didn't really understand the warm-up reccommended by Crossfit...

Okay, so I sat down by the rowing machine and went at it. Don't have a stopwatch yet, so couldn't really follow my time, but was still fun to just try out a rowing machine for the first time in my life :P

Then after 500meters I went to the treadmill to run 400 meters, but didn't understand shit about how to check my distance. The treadmill's screen said "0.10" or something when I pressed distance, I was like WTF. Stepped of the treadmill and went and lifted some weights, like I'm more used to, in stead. Hehe...

Sumo Deadlift (sternum) Pull with a 20kg kettlebell is a great sub for rowing. I rowed from age 15 to 30 and its as close as you can get without a boat or an erg. A barbell makes the pull non-linear, and chin is too high. If you don't have the space or the cash for an erg, a 20kg KB is a very worthwhile investment.

I walked in not knowing what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. Before I arrived on Saturday everyone I knew who had taken this course would not tell me anything about it...

Now i'm looking both for websites that provide unprejudiced, sensible criticism regarding just about all problems and / or websites who have a good generous and / or left-wing leaning. Many thanks..

Awesome experience!! What a great weekend at CrossFit Atlanta for the CrossFit Level 1 Certificate Course! Special thanks to coaches Chuck, James, Spencer, Mel, Andy and Nicole for bringing such energy and passion! If I had to pick a favorite part it would have to be Nicole's nutrition lecture, it really clicked with me!

Thank you Cherie, Chris, Dave, Matt and Zac for an amazing L1 seminar in Park City. Due to the coaching expertise you exhibited both as a team and individually, I walked away from this weekend confident in my ability to coach the athletes at my box while I gain experience and hone my skills.

The enthusiasm you all share for CrossFit and the CrossFit community is inspiring and infectious. In fact, I was still pretty fired up when I got off my red-eye flight this morning, so I headed straight to my box to observe a class. Although I was only there to shake pompoms and offer encouragement to clients performing thrusters and sit-ups, I was silently spotting faults and cueing fixes. Now, I’m champing at the bit to get on the floor with our athletes to apply the skill set you gave us.

Thanks again for making the weekend such a great experience.

Crossfit Norcal hosted an amazing cert, completely worth my 385 mile drive :) excited to have improved as a coach and Crossfitter. It was awesome to see that top athletes were also top coaches along with having access to some of the great minds from Crossfit HQ. Sick weekend for sure!!

Such an awesome weekend! Spealler, Matt and Cherie Chan, Zac and Dave were the most amazing instructors of this course. To see such accomplished athletes in this "sport" be so committed to the basics that CrossFit is built from is very awe-inspiring. They were all truly dedicated to teaching us and ensuring that we learned everything correctly and had the confidence to bring our knowledge back to our own boxes. Great experience, thanks guys!

Great level one cert at Nor Cal Crossfit in San Jose with Jason, Neal, Russel, Austin, Michelle, Miranda, Zach, Jim and Kim. Russel hosted a fun and informative lecture and each of the speakers went over and beyond to make OUR weekend memorable. Thank you to everyone there. I highly recommend taking the level one cert in San Jose for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of the philosophy and culture behind crossfit. Boom.

CROSSFIT X-FACTOR SESSION. GREAT JOB TO KURTIS,NADIA,JESSIE,JOEY,CHRIS AND AUSTIN. I MIXED MY REGULAR BAR TENDING LATE NIGHT JOB WITH THIS CLASS AND TESTED MY SLEEP DEPRIVATION AT THE SAME TIME AS I WAS BUILDING BETTER FOUNDATIONS. MONDAY DIRECTLY AFTER CLASS, I REPORTED TO THE US FOREST SERVICE ENGINE DUTY AND SURE ENOUGH WE CAUGHT A FIRE IN THE AFTERNOON. THE TERRAIN WAS BRUTALLY STEEP AND I WAS THE LEAD SAW ON THE LINE. HOLY SMOKES THAT WAS TOUGH ON MED-BALL CLEAN WIGGLY LEGS. ANYWAY, AGAIN GREAT JOB GANG!

I'm only stationed in Japan for 6 months so I had to jump on this opportunity to attend... Great experience with Doug, Danny, Connor, and Kimmy last weeked at the L1 Cert course held on Okinawa, Japan (CrossFit Asia). It was a tough time to focus as our unit prepared for inspections and a small deployment, but the coaches did exceptionally well to hold our focus and keep it exciting. Thanks!
