sounds fantastic...and the K2E are gonna start adding up
Crazy WOD!...
135 is a bit too much though. I'm thinking 115...Can't wait!
Holy cats Pablo, that is an ultra-spectacular photo. Kudos!
Damn being deployed. I dont have a pull up bar and barbells in the same location. This is a problem.
Any suggestions for a substitute for the knees to elbows I don't have a pull up bar
Another topless pic!! come on hq when is it going to end.
How'd you get into that position, I always end up flippin through, most amusing, lots of pillows on the deck!

Did lunges in place instead of walking lunges due to space restrictions. Nice WOD, probably won't be able to walk tomorrow.

@Gabe
Try leg lifts off an incline situp bench if you dont have a pullup bar.
Or do them flat and have a partner throw your legs down when you hit the top.
Just a thought. Or get your mechanic shop to fabricate a pullup bar for you.
Wait a second...., is that a frappacino in The background???
No pull up bar? Head to your local Home Depot/Lowes/whatever and build something out of pipe. You can either just securely fasten some overhead (did this in the basement) or build a rack out of pipe lengths
135# OH?! I can't say for sure until I try, but I think that is way too much!

Oh lunges were hard , I finally was ablr to link together 9 k2e small victory but feels great had to do walking lunges I. My drive way and then go to the basement for k2e 25 steps up and down each round

Can't wait! Since I don't have a barbell yet, i'm going to use a sandbag. Unfortunately, it's not as much weight.

#90 was too much scaling, should have taken 115..

135 lb overhead lunges 25 ft

Finally, some eye candy for the ladies. Thank you
Decided to do an extra workout that I had failed to compete in the past
135 clean and jerk x 5, 6 x 12' rope climbs
145 clean and jerk X 4, 5 x 12' rope climb
165 clean and jerk x 3, 4 x 12' rope climb
185 clean and jerk x 2, 3 x 12' rope climb
205 clean and jerk x 1, 1 x 12' rope climb
i wanted to compete it in 17min but it took, me around 23 minutes but i completed it which for me is huge
125# OH Lunges and K2E with rings
17:32
m/41/6'4"/228

95# OH lunges
10 knees to elbows
this took me entirely too long...
subbed 95lbs, and K2E were more like K2Triceps... My hands are still torn and lats really tight from the 50-35-20 workout still, so that might have had something to do with it

Holy S#!!!! This kicked my butt!!
115 lbs=24:40..once i think I've done the hardest workout ever another one comes along and slaps you!! I love it!

19:55 lunges very difficult and must be deliberate to be safe.
As rxd 10:34. I felt more stable on rounds 3-5 with the overhead lunges. Fun and challenging wod.

Lunges kicked my butt.
Scaled at 20kg.

On Midnight shifts so I always scale low due to lack of recovery sleep.
Great WOD. It's 3 am and I'm stretching in my office as I still feel the burn. Love it.

Trailing knee wasn't exactly kissing the ground in the later rounds; more like crashing into it. All K2E unbroken.
The video=turning dropping and turning around at 12.5 feet... uugh!
I would do overhead lunges in place rather than walking as a sub for space restrictions!

Good Workout
Time: 11:42
I did it with 100 lbs. Good workout. Knees to elbows kicked my trash.
So did Coach B. see this video?... I was under the impression that you always maintained the hook grip for the snatch and clean. From the video I understand that you have to transition from a hook to a true grip as the lift is being executed ..."people are hanging on to that hook grip in the catch.."[...]"causes unnecessary tension and reduces flexibility" ... Confused much, anyone can help with this? I get the reduced flexibly, but shouldn't we work on increasing wrist, shoulder flex/mobility rather than change to another grip during the lift?
M/43/5'8"/172
With 95lbs, 17:08...nasty sick and slow today

As written but 135# was too heavy. will use 115 next time.

Warm up 50 miles on the road bike withe local club

KtE seemed harder than the WL did...
Wish i would thought about turning around on WL it would have saved a few seconds. Oh Well it was a great WOD.
Everyone have an awesome day!

Just started crossfit yesterday. This isn't no joke, I've been working out and I thought I was in shape but guess I'm not.
Been looking for a new way to workout, think I've found it.
hybrid of mainsite and my own SWOD programming
SWOD:
Bench press: 3 x 5 @ 200 lbs (PR)
Max-Rep Chin-Ups + Max-Rep Dips Superset: 15+15, 10+10, 8+8
DWOD:
Five rounds for time of:
5 Alternating Lunges each leg, 95 lbs Overhead
15 Knees-to-Elbows
13:31
Cool Down:
5 rounds, no rest of:
10 sit-ups to 4 punches (heavy bag)
5 sit-ups to toes
5 frog-squat burpees
m/42/5'8"/175
13:55
(scaled to 95#--tried 135# but decided I wanted to continue to be a father! Almost crushed myself!)
Great WOD.
I started out with 85lb and it was just too much. Went with 55, just to be safe- and was still shaky then!!

115# and 11:26 was a little hungover
M/29/5'10"/170
95#

Legs and abs will be fine, but between stabilizing the barbell and hanging onto the pullup bar, this killed my forearms.

Walked a mile to the gym with a 20 lb backpack. Not the day to add weight to the pack. Thought that 135 was going to be WAAAAY to heavy but it was just right. My forearms were blitzed from the toes to bars.

17:55. Thank you crossfit
6:43 - scaled back to 75#, 135 just a little to much!
4 Rounds in 17:15
Those lunges were a bit harder than I expected. I had to drop the bar in the middle of the last two rounds. I was gassed after each set.

15:00
Lunges scaled to 115 lbs
The weight itself wasn't the hardest part of the workout. Stabilizing your core as you knelt down and keeping the weight centered above you was where the real work was. 135 would have caused me to sacrifice quality in the reps.
I finally invested in some gloves to keep my hands from getting tore up while doing pull up bar work and it made a huge difference. I still struggle with k2e's and every set was broken. Practice makes perfect!

This is one of the reasons I enjoy CrossFit. The variety of workouts is great. I would never thought of OH walking lunges. They smoked my midsection trying to balance the weight.

I did a different WOD Sat. night:
I did 10 rounds of;
10 KB swings (1.5 pood)
10 toes to rings
11:32 ( my goal was sub 10 minutes... got some work to do)
This was the most taxing on my grip, although in the end my whole body was pretty taxed. I was fine in the midline, but I do admit that I felt it the next day. I'm usually pretty good with toes to bar, etc.
I thought of this WOD as opposites really.. I mean one is an opening up and extension of the hips and body, while the other is a closing of the body and a midline contraction, while the first it's important to keep tight throughout the midline and not round over at the bottom position.
GREAT WOD... grip got killed.
I did this WOD at a football field at night.. I was at my wife's family's home this weekend and after putting the kids to sleep I went to the hight school track and football field and set up my rings and did this WOD.
I did 2 sets of all out 20 burpees post WOD and some skin the cats, etc. to stretch out.

Tried 1st round at 135# but couldn't hold for more than 2 lunges, so scaled down to 87% of my body weight. Would have finished at least 3 minutes faster had i started with 115#
18:35 (160/176/196)
95# OHS lunges but 115# may have been better. All lunges unbroken but HR was 176 after them on rds 3-5. Surprisingly, KTE were tough today. Finished w/ 3 sets of 5 ring push-ups, 3 sets of 5 ring dips and five single MU's.
Scaled to 115# after 1st round. Includes 30sec. distance between stations. Time=15:43. Great workout.
As rx'd, 9:12.
Buy-in: CFWUx1, plus a few walking lunges @ 45#, 135#. (But not enough shoulder opening mobility work.)
Classic CrossFit. What a great pairing of movements. The core work of K2E made the OH lunges so much harder in later rounds; and as the shoulders fatigued from holding the weight overhead, it became more difficult to kip K2Es! Forearms were also shot by the end of this. OH lunges tough but unbroken. K2E unbroken through round 2, then 12-3 / 10-5 / 7-4-2-2.
Cash-out: Clean the mud off the bumpers, and try to repair the divots in the back yard before the wife sees them.
