Steve and Ian, this is going to be interesting!
Here is a great story about Lindsey Valenzuela doing this WOD.
When I first asked her to do it, I told her the as prescribed loading would be 95 pounds, however, she should feel free to use 65 pounds. She said "OK".
She texts me her results like this. (I will paraphrase a bit)
"2:29 with 65 pounds. I rested 3 minutes then did it in 4:13 with 95 pounds. I wanted to do both."
All I can say is WOW.
m/43/5'8"/180
So Lindsey did this twice in 6:42? I'm hoping once in 9 min.
Great Job Lindsey!
New workout - Badger
10 reps of each:
135 lb bench,

Wanted to beat Lindsey's time really bad but just happy i could get sub 5.
4:02 RXED
FIRST WORKOUT IN OUR NEW GARAGE BOX.
This one doesn't look too bad. Which means it's going to be downright awful.
9:38 as rx'd
Lousy time...been sick for a month strained my knee playing b ball when I finally felt better...trying hoping to stay healthy and get back into it
7:17 rx
+ threw in a box jump 24" after every burpee for kicks. Bad idea.
been a while since i've done a mainsite WOD. this one was pretty good though. :)
4:26 substituting power cleans for snatches.... still don't know how to clean, so i figured stick with what i know rather than get injured trying to do something too fancy
Sorry if this is daft but is it 12 snatches and 12 burpees then 9 of each etc?

Jamie #13, yes it is 12 of each, 9 of each, 6 of each then 3 of each then a 10 mile run
That shyt kicked my ass. Took me 13minutes. Heart rate after each set was 95%. Had to rest in between the sets to bring my heart rate back down to 65-70%.
This is also my day 4 of crossfit. Trying here!

I came up with the "twisted 20" please comment - all done with 135lbs barbell: 20 rows, 20 push press, 20 SDLHP, 20 pull ups strict, 20 clap push ups, 800m run - done for time. What do you think?

M/29/165/Sea Level/21 Feb 13
12-9-6-3: 45lb dbs(sub), burpees
9:44
used dbs as in my hang snatch warmup, as common, I was not throwing the weight up evenly.
7:14
Did mess up and started doing the power snatches before starting the timer, got up to 7 and then had to stop. I restarted at the beginning after a few minutes rest. Not sure if it cost me that much but I guess I can use the extra practice. These mistakes can only help me. I also did another round of 12,9,6,and 3 just to help me increase my endurance, which seems to be my downfall most of the time.

Some fast times posted this morning, nice work guys!

~9 minutes, but that includes probably a 90 second break between the 9-rep and 6-rep rotations to gasp for oxygen. Burpees not so bad, but I suck at power snatches.

I may sound dumb here but is that weight including bar? or for the weights on the bar, because the olympic bar is about 45 lbs, trying to figure out what size of weights I should try, just figured after going to the gym for the last couple months I'd get into crossfit

Don't always agree with everything Coach Glassman says, but I think he was 100% bang on in the lifeguard/swim coach analysis! You don't get healthier by doing less, you get frail and weak...

12:42 (pr, tougher than I thought it would be)
My gym only has small 25# plates, I hate them and they screw up my timing. So I subbed 135# power cleans for this one. Time suffered for sure but I am happy with it nonetheless:

This was fun and fast. Should have gone harder in the first two rounds - it was all about putting your head down and jumping right into the burpees without a rest. You can (almost) outrun the pain. Power snatches felt good - focus was on keeping the bar back and the butt down.
