Can't wait!

Let the pain begin, yeah baby!!!!

Wods have been great lately. Unknown and knowable. Keep it up HQ. Hell yeah!

ok how many are doing squat clean...be real now

Oh my! 185 is out of my league, but I'll give 135 an honest shot....it may take me a while though, but as usual, I'll give it all I have. Just like all my other CrossFitters....you all keep me going, and I thank you all.
I'm a garage CrossFitter, so I love the online community.

heavy Grace... i feel like HQ has forgotten the girls names!

I love Yurii's comment: "People ask, 'What about cardio?' . . . What about it?" . . . LOL . . .

Is it just me or is Rasmussen pressing not jerking in the demo?

@David yup! but as the CF games when it comes to jerks they usually allow press/push-press in it's place since the jerk tends to be the easiest way to get hvy weight overhead :)

Looking forward to this for tomorrow.

What do you all think about lifting, and then dropping the weight, versus lifting and then controlling it back to the ground? Seems that for any lift (except maybe a 1 rep max), controlling the weight both going up and back down makes for a more complete workout, taxes the body in different ways, and is worth using less weight.

I like your question as it has an interesting point. With respect however, may a suggest that you test your theory, but with cast-iron plates instead of the rubber bumpers.

70 kg 8:43

Scaled it down to Grace 7:00

So, it should be clean and jerk or push and jerk? Because on video there is push and jerk...

Every single rep looked like a clean and press to me, didn't see a single jerk. Dip and drive is not a jerk.

@ #4: Clean is any of following: squat, power, muscle. Your choice unless listed as such. If you can squat clean 185 and then jerk it x 30 have at er.
For @#16 - yep the video clearly stated that he is push pressing more than jerking - do what you want cuz the jerk is certainly easier.
These WODs are always Met-Con when for time, so it's about speed. That being said, if #10 wants to control all reps, go for it. We're all competing against ourselves right?
If I sound a but put off, it's because people are always picking apart instead of trying to encourage all. If you want to encourage a squat clean, then just say you are gonna blast your legs by squat cleaning them all and be happy about it. Then maybe I'd try to beat you. But saying to everyone "be real"... just makes you sound like a douche. Especially when the squat clean in power lifting and oly lifting is only used to get under difficult weights. If the weight can be easily power cleaned, there is no need in those disciplines to squat the weight.
Anyways, that is all. I am definately looking forward to teying this out. And I may just try to squat clean as many as I can.

If the site says Clean and Jerk... then you should Clean and Jerk. The one guy in the video was straight up pressing it (crazy man). You can dip to catch it. (Jerk)

Modifed for 50kg. 1 round 30 reps - 2.41

@#10 and @#13. In my experience the negative portion of a lift is just as important as the lift itself. Also, 1 rep max deadlifts, squats and presses don't count as completed lifts in competition if dropped. Controlling the negative of a max snatch, however, is nearly impossible, and in my opinion, unsafe. I work out with cast iron plates because I can't afford bumpers, the problem with doing the olympic lifts WITHOUT bumpers, is that I talk myself out of lifts just because I know I can't drop them, so my lifts suffer accordingly. A contolled negative has its place for sure, but being able to drop those weights allows you to find your limits, and push yourself that much more.

Did Grace Rx'd on Thursday of this past week, 4:48. I might skip this one although it looks like fun. For all those asking about Push press/push jerk, it's usually acceptable to do a more "difficult" movement (Shoulder press vs jerk variation) on a WOD like this unless specific instruction otherwise is given. "Grace" usually becomes a 2 part "ground to Over head. For most, this will mean power clean & push press. When the weight gets heavy, it might mean squat clean & split jerk. It depends on the level of the athlete.

These guys r straight up animals. I was happy with my time till I watched the demo. Good motivation thought to keep me working.

Sunday musings...

1) Floss. Floss and then brush, or brush and then floss?

It's the new "over or under" for a new century.

2) Flossing. Traditional PT, rest, injections? All ineffective, ultimately. Several sessions with a Voodoo Floss band sandwiching a trip to Savannah? No pain.

Do the Voodoo.

3) Epic. "There are decades where nothing happens; there are weeks where decades happen." --Lenin

Do you have that same, eerie sense that one of those weeks is nigh?

4) 35. It seems that most Nobel Laureates make their signature discoveries before the age of 35. They may not get the word out right away, and given the average age of Nobel Laureates they certainly don't receive recognition for those discoveries until years or decades later. Some of our non-Laureated geniuses certainly came up with their stuff pre-35 for sure. See Gates, Bill et al.

Doing a little math with a calendar in front of me it looks like a certain guy we know, a trainer with a little math in his educational background, came up with an idea at age 35 that has turned out to be pretty important in the fitness world.

A little thing called CrossFit.

5) Reel. Real life in many ways is more like the CrossFit Games than it is like CrossFit training. In the Games we have winners and non-winners; in the Box we have you vs. you. We are trained it seems from early in life to not only compare ourselves with others, but to allow ourselves to be compared BY others. In this we somehow allow the creation of a zero-sum game of our own sense of self, and we allow the scores to be kept by others as well as ourselves.

Kinda like all those singing contests now on TV; the judges are supposed to be judging only the contestant singing at the moment, the contestant to be focused only on herself and the judges. Invariably though, both judges and judged compare the contestant with others, for this is an openly zero-sum game. Someone will only win because everyone else lost.

I'm more than OK with this for the Games, and I'm quite fine with this for all of those silly contests (which I admit are a guilty pleasure Chez bingo). There is a real problem, however, if we allow this kind of process, this kind of judging, to be a metric for how we view ourselves. We have an unavoidable frame of reference bias that threatens even the healthiest among us when we use these external controls to judge our internal outcomes.

Why? We tend to compare our "behind the scenes" moments, our rehearsals and our trial runs, with everyone else's "highlight reels." We are not usually privy to someone else's dry runs, the failed efforts that eventually culminate in the masterpiece before us. We cannot forget our own struggles, the efforts we ourselves have made out of the limelight, and we all too often use these memories as the "compare to" when ourselves evaluate ourselves against others.

I'm reminded of a story that Grambingo tells often and well. I am one of 4. We were pretty successful youngsters, at least in the eyes of the community and at least by the standards then in place by which we (and by extension Gram and Grampbingo) were measured. My Mom would listen as fellow parents bemoaned this or that child-rearing difficulty, often followed by "oh Anne Lee, you wouldn't know anything about this; your kids are all [whatever]." Grambingo would politely nod and smile, all the while thinking "oh boy...if you only knew!"

You see, Grambingo remembered all of the hard work, the heartaches when her kids disappointed and the battles fought so that they, the kids, might succeed. The other parents were comparing their "behind the scenes" with Grambingo's "highlight reel", but she knew better, she couldn't help but remember her own "work in the gym" so to speak.

What's the ultimate lesson here? We all compare, and we are all compared. It would be simply lovely if life were a non-zero sum game but alas, 'tis not. The lesson is as simple as making sure that you are always comparing things that are alike. Your rehearsals with someone else's. Their highlight reel with yours.

When you are comparing apples to apples you must be sure that you are either looking at the fruit itself, or recalling the labor required to fill the basket.

I'll see you next week...

Hey a little help with this one. My max one rep clean and jerk is 155#. Usually I scale to Brand X pack or porch, but 135# seems too heavy for me for this work out?

If my max is 155# what's a reasonable weight for 30 reps for time?

thank you fit folks!

This was my email to Crossfit.com in regards to making a trip/blog about how close the crossfit community is and how great crossfit is around the country. Let me know if you guys are interested in this story and would like to hear your opinions. I'm planning on video taping the whole experience. I would like to visit as many boxes/affiliates as I can. If you would like to contact me in regards to this story my email is anthonygk07@gmail.com. Look forward to hearing from you guys!!!

Hello,

My name is Anthony Reichwaldt, and I am planning a trip across American and I want to stop at as many crossfit boxes as I can from NJ all the way to California in 2 weeks. I plan on doing a WOD at every box I visit. I want to take this trip the last 2 weeks in October. I am going to video tape the whole trip and make a blog about my experience, and document each affiliate that I visit. I have been doing crossfit for 4 months. I want to show people how crossfit has changed peoples lives and how tight the community is. I was a division one athlete at Seton Hall University playing soccer. I was also in the United States Army. I was wondering if you had any ideas on how I should go about this and was going to ask if you guys would be interested in the story once I finish. I think this would be an amazing story for the crossfit community. I plan on hearing back from you soon. Thank you for your time.

Anthony Reichwaldt

14:49
Still rather new to O-lifts, so
sub'd 135lbs for 1-15; 155 lbs for 16-30.

Got the jerk part down. After the clean, does it matter how deep the "squat" motion goes? In the WoD video it looks like more of a bounce than in the Coach B video. In those they seem to go into a deep squat.

@ #8 and #16 (and few others)
I know what you mean, there were many press-outs with the jerks. This would not count in an Oly lifting meet. However, anytime CrossFit has a WOD that involves Oly lifts for time, this is totally fine. Since time is the variable here, the goal is to move the weight as quickly and efficiently as possible. I am sure that both of those guys from the video can easily do 185lbs (and way more) with a perfect Oly competition standard. For the purposes of the WOD, this is not necessary and in effect more time-consuming. I know that points could be made for and against this as well.

@ #10 (and few others)
As I mentioned above, the goal is to move the weight as quickly and efficiently as possible. Everytime the weight is dropped, the athlete needs to reset his position, this will take time. The more that the athlete does this longer this WOD will take. However, it is important to note that there is a safety factor in which the athlete must be able to safely and efficiently lower the weight down to the ground. When fatigue sets in and this is no longer possible, dropping the weight is the safer choice than potentially struggling with it on the way to the ground. If you notice in the video, both of the athletes lower the weight to the ground then go right back up for multiple reps. They were able to sustain multiple rep sets for a while. Around the half way mark they both had fatigue set in so they the switched to dropping the weight. If you notice too, they were at the point of doing only single reps as well.

In general it is always good to know your limits and be humble. Both of those athletes are way stronger than me so I could not do this WOD with any more than 1 rep at a time and I would be dropping the weight. As someone else said above, I would be happy just to finish it as r'xd. Know if I wanted to push the time factor, I may have to reduce the load to say 155lbs. Then I would be able to hit a few multi-rep sets. Again though, I am a little older and beat up so there would still be a lot dropping going on in the mid to later reps for me. It always good to have strategy for every WOD.

Cleans were no problem... Some near fails on the jerks but managed to keep them all up.

Slow and steady.

Hank.... my 1 rep max is 160#... and I found 135# manageable for the workout. I took it slow and steady, resetting each time and focussing on keeping my jerk as crisp as possible.

Then again, you might want a shorter workout.

mack and Rick L., thanks for responding.
@21/mack--I like your thoughts--its good to have bumpers in case you need to drop the weight, normally at high power/max weight lifts, but one shouldn't count on dropping the bar just as a matter of course. Better to go 10% lighter and get the full benefit of the lift and lowering phases, to me at least.
@48Rick L.--agree that its better to drop the weight rather than risk an injury in the lowering phase. But then again, to me that means you're working w/ a weight that's too heavy for you, esp in a workout like this one when the rep count is high (this doesn't apply when trying to establish a 1, 2 or 3 RM). As I recall, in this (and many past videos) people resorted to dropping the weight well short of half-way thru a workout, which tells me they're really working w/ too much weight, and missing much of the benefits of the workout. But to each his own.

M/ 38/ 134 lbs/ 5'-6"
I did a different WOD yesterday:
I did 5 DL + 5 Snatch Balance for the first 3-4 sets progressing up in weights
For DL I did 135 lbs, 175, 205, 235, 255, 265, 275, 285, 295
For Snatch Balance I used: 75 lbs, 95, 110, 115, 120
When I started using 265 & 275 for DL and using 95 & 110 I switched to sets of 3 reps for each.
I didn't do it on the minute or really focusing on time. I wanted good reps with a decent pace. I would take like 30 -40 seconds after the snatch balance and then get on the DL, then I'd take like 20-30 seconds between the DL & the SB.
I was concentrating on the SB for speed and really pushing my body under the bar. I was tryign to focus on my arms locking out at the same time as my feet realyl hit the ground. It was good for coorinating the movement as well as snapping out my arms.. I need to focus on that a bit.. it helps me with getting more aggressive to really push my body under the bar.
I felt pretty good with the SB. The DL was o.k. The weights were o.k. but it felt like the bar was out in front a bit.
One thing I NEED to focus on is keeping my two feet inline when I SB.
nest time I need to go to 125 with SB

Quick piece of advice...if you are scaling the work weight down and you finish the workout in less the 6 minutes then you did not push yourself. People are getting caught up with time way too much. Your goal should be RX not how fast can I do it.

To those kvetching about Oly lift vs. push-press...."clean and jerk" is just a guideline, assuming that 185 would be too heavy to get off the ground and overhead using any lift other than the clean jerk; if you can power clean it and/or push-press it, then GO for it.

Went for 1 rep every 30 seconds without sacrificing too much technique: 14:54 rxd. Pretty tough even though I didn't go "for time" fell off pace around 15 reps and then just tried to stay under 15:00 -my max jerk is 245 and so is max clean but my max c&j is only 235.

Power cleans and push jerks. Weight was too heavy, form suffered half way through. Went for sets of three reps.
Next time I'll take 135 pounds and go fast.

Pyrros Dimas push-pressed his way to Olympic gold medals several times, the judges never had any problem with it. Of course, debating is fun! But then do something and be happy with it, like others have said.

PS He would then, having basically pressed 210 kg over his head (at 85kg BW), look right and left with wide grin on his face, as if to say to his competitors, you know, suck on this... Kinda 'roidy!

On the 16th rep my back bent forward so I almost fell and had to drop it. Then my back was a little jacked for a few minutes, although I'm not sure how much that effected it other than having to take about a minute off.

Warmup:

Shoulder mobility

Burgener warmup

CFWU-3. No HS work 3rd. Superman. Burgener.
25:01 Sq cleans Counted times I missed jerks as part of reps. Prob about 4. Tried to focus on landing in a dip w/rt leg pretty far back in split jerk position. Seldom executed this, but easier when I did. Make sure to get bar at bottom of knuckles & tighten butt on jerk. Sq cleans didn't seem too bad. Get bar to fingertips in rack position. Decent job with straight arms - engaging triceps & rotating feet out.

May have come out of the box a bit too fast...felt really sluggish in the early-middle and picked up speed as I recovered a bit. Next time, should probably just try to do one rep every 20 seconds. Pumped I finished with 185 though!
