Get some!!!

That's what I'm talking about, deadlift.every.day.

Can't wait deadlifs again!!! oh i love deadlifs not.Watch that knee Jim

As a fellow British Serviceman it's an honour and a pleasure to do this WOD. RIP Ralph. In the sincerest and most respectful sense - I hope I smash your time. Never forgotten (From a Royal Marine).

Wow! This week has been rough. lol love it!!!

A lot of work for every part of the body this week... I'm loving CrossFit; Just a beginner (2 months) and regret not doing this a long long time ago. I'm obviously scaling down with some weight exercise, but I'm getting the mechanical movement of it all. My gym doesn't support "Rings" or "Ropes", and some others, so I also have to substitute workouts as well, but I'm getting there... Thank you CrossFit; You truly enhanced my daily lifestyle to a much more exciting, energetic, motivating, and result oriented type way. JF

Tristan, Mike...proud of you guys... Will be traveling your way from Riley... Great job!!!

As a beginner to cross fit, i do most of all the wods from my garage or a local track with limited weights. ?? My question: what exercise could i do to substitute the roap climb with dumbbells

Fair winds and following seas on your journey warrior!

Fair winds and following seas on your journey warrior!

bOnes, try the FAQ, it will recommend something like towel pull-ups, perhaps one pullup per foot climbed. In theory, if you have no means for towel pull-ups (or rope pull-ups, can also just throw a rope over a pullup bar), you could do DB bent rows. You can also find a horizontal bar that's the right height to do an inverted pushup - pulling chest to the bar with feet planked. For that matter, pullups themselves are a reasonable sub for rope climbs.

BTW - great article in the CFJ for how to make your own climbing rope for ~$20, search for Lincoln Brigham's article.

Did anyone see what their final times were?

Can we have the Crossfit.com site WOD poster stop referring to them as "insurgents."

These are spineless TERRORIST, ISLAMOFACISTS!

There has got to be a better term than "insurgents." The Poles during WWII were insurgents, the French Underground were insurgents. Insurgents fight for freedom!

My 2 cents.

Wanted to take a day off today, but I do not think it will be acceptable now. On my way to the gym...
RIP mate.

this is a personal WOD for me, i was serving with Ralph in Helmand when we were ambushed, i'll smash this WOD in his and the other members of his crews memory.
Lest we Forget

I too was looking at a rest day. As a fellow British service man I will now be working by bollocks off!! Well done CrossFit for supporting your allies over the pond.
We will remember them.

On a side note, the standard of rope climbs in the CF community is poor. All half decent athletes should be able to complete a 15ft rope climb using only 3 pulls. Reach high, big pull, knees to elbow, lock in feet, extend, repeat.
Now go get it.

John, #6, I am in the same boat. No ropes, no rings, no KB's either! Still these are the most intense and satisfying a** kicking workouts I've ever done. Thank you, Crossfit, from a lifelong "athlete" who just discovered what being an "athlete" really means!

Everyone,

Try logging your workouts on www.wodhub.com. It's a great place to keep up with your WOD's and times. Again, it's WWW.WODHUB.COM. I have no affiliation with this site, just use it and could use some more people to compare my times with.

Thanks!

247.5# DL; rope climbs as per my usual. Time: 28:29.

Had a brain cramp and forgot to put the other 2.5# on the bar, oops. This was a pretty tough one - the rope climbs were actually pretty challenging today. Rounds came in at - 6:00 / 8:00 / 7:30 / 7:00. I pushed hard on the last 600m, finished it in 2:00 - was running from Pukie, he almost caught me...

Happy Hero Friday!
