6 rounds is wishful thinking for me, I'm recovering from the flu.

Man I was sure I'd get more than six rounds...

I did, but barely, lol. I got 6 rounds plus box jumps and 6 push presses. The box jumps were surprisingly the hardest part, I think. I'm not used to doing them slow Push press didn't feel too heavy but it just winded me big time. Toes to bar I did unbroken up until the last couple rounds. Anyone else hit this yet?

not looking forward to it, our pull up bars are fat bars and hard as fuck to grip and you're not allowed to use gynastic wraps lol. Everyone but our gym has a legit rogue system godamnit.

I got 7 rounds +3 box jumps, but I was using the female RX weight for the PP, games RX on the box and toe to bar. top scores from our gym were 2 guys with 10+ rounds. I don't know what my wife scored yet, she went early this morning then straight to work.

Cant wait to get my shoulder back up to speed.

Ugh. This one is awful. Doing wall balls on your own and wall balls with a judge is a totally different ballgame. Pun intended. I had a lot of missed reps, probably ended up doing about 165 total. And I was feeling pretty shitty so I only got to 55 double unders. I had about two minutes to get that many, so I probably need at least 2 more minutes to at least get to the muscle ups.

Pretty frustrated with it since my Karen time is 7:34, didn't help that it took me 10 minutes to do the wall balls I was hoping to do better on this one, doubt I'll have the time to repeat it. Oh well.

ive done karen in 7:15 but that was over 2 years ago when i had a cardio base and was new-ish to crossfit. now my cardio is worse. also i was DEAD after doing it in 7:15 and that clearly wont work in this WOD. my goal is to do the WB in 8:00, get through the DUs in 2:00 which will require some luck, and then have 2:00 to pump out MUs. i'm guaranteed to get at least 5 on the first set.

I personally am shooting for 240 reps, I need to not be a pussy about the wall balls and make sure my hands remain dry so I don't miss any reps due to sweaty hands.

EDIT: I guess I'm still sick, hit 21 wallballs and couldn't breath for shit. They weren't even hard but I could barely string together 5 reps at a time after that, I seriously wanted to quit the workout. I fucking hate this stupid ass flu.

finished at 121 reps, so upset.

Thread dying!!! How's everyone's training going now that the Open is over?

I hit the 30 rep 155lb squat clean & jerk this morning, did pretty well. PR'd by 40 seconds or so for 10:22. I've been lazy lately, only doing like 3x a week, gotta kick it up a notch...

My eating has been off lately, so my performance has been shit to be honest. I have no one to blame but myself for that

I did PR on deadlifts last week - 104kg - but it was at the end of a 1-1-1-1-1-1 workout - I am pretty sure I could have done more \:\/

I've gone back to normal training with loose paleo/living the dream eating. weight is consistent 180-185. Vascularity is up a ton in my arms, skin is catching up to the body after the weight loss. Not much to report been posting workouts as I do them in the training log thread. Seemed more appropriate.

I can't and wont do any of that shit. I've come to grips that I have no desire to compete what so ever in crossfit. I support my friends who do, but I'm not trying to relieve any highschool glory I just signed up to look good and do cool shit I can't at 24

I did Diane today in 5:22, and tomorrow we are doing the event 2. I'm not sure what I'm gonna scale the weight to yet, but the pistols I will do with a pole or something.

Diane in 1:35 holy shit

http://games.crossfit.com/video/dan-bailey-vs-diane

id like to see them enforce a stricter deadlift standard (shoulders back at the top) and not sure he was fully locking out the HSPUs but still really good

I agree, personally I hold myself to a higher standard on my deadlifts and HSPU. It looks like his chest never fully lifts at the top of the deadlifts and his HSPU never fully lockout.

Having said that, its still very impressive.

Crossfit while great, shit like the games where movement is compromised for times really pisses me the fuck off.

The head standing thing is a joke of a movement. It's balance and then a 2" movement.

I like the idea of cross fit as in do real exercises for time, but sometimes they seem to make up odd shit just to be odd.

And kipping is still retarded in a "sport" where everyone loves to talk about form.

Perhaps, but handstand pushups get pretty hard once you're tired. Even some really good athletes struggle with them, surprisingly enough. We had a badass girl from my gym go to regionals, only to get eliminated on that very workout (Diane) because she sucks at HSPU.

I still can't believe Bailey did it in 1:35.

Nice. A dude at my gym, Daniel Petro, came in 10th in the southeast. Dude's strong as shit and young, he could maybe make it to the Games in a couple years.

I think Ben Smith has a shot this year, dude won 5/6 events at his regional. Impressive shit.

We're doing concentric, eccentric training at the gym on some lifts. Did squats the other day, 3 seconds to go down, hold 0 seconds at bottom, X (get up as fast as you can) 0 go right into the next squat at the top.

Needless to say I got up to 265lbs and that was killer on my Psoas at the bottom. Tried 275lbs for my final one and got stuck at the bottom then sunk forward too far to ditch. Needless to say I somehow mustered up the energy to semi sots press the fucker right over my head to jump out of the way. Pretty damn hilarious that was 80 percent of my 1 rep max.

pulled the trigger today on a garage kit. Some of you guys might remember a while back I was going to switch boxes, and after putting some careful consideration into it I am going to go with a home gym. Our coach (OMG don't let anyone know I said that) is technically (his "lifting technique", not "factually") one of the best in the area, has a ton of real world training experience as well as an Olympic lifting background, but he struggles with managing our box as it has gotten bigger. My wife and I both are members and individually came up with the same complaint. Because we have been crossfitting for a few years we have most of the movements on lock down, so we feel like we are kind of ignored. $250 a month for both of us is toooo much money to not get the personal attention we used to get. After checking out some of the other area gyms I don't think it would be any better (most were much worse) anywhere else.

I crossfit with my wife (who is a total bad ass, way better then me) so I will use her as motivation. She is going to do the crossfit endurance seminar this fall and I am looking to get the level 1 cert. Neither of us have any plans on expanding this beyond our garage, but if our old coach asked us back to help train I would for sure.

The gear should arrive this weekend and I am currently cleaning out my garage. pics to come. I ordered a Rogue Wall mount Rack, their bravo crossfit package (bar/plates/kettlebells/rings/etc.), and an extra set of 45 bumpers. I know there are cheaper options out there, but we have both been at this for a few years, workout 5-6 times a week, and are pretty serious so I don't mind the investment. I didn't order a bench because we almost never bench press, but I could see getting one in the future. We are also going to make our own boxes based on the Rogue 3 height box. With that gear the only thing we will be missing is a rower. It is a bitter/sweet loss for both of us, lol.

Sweet! I know that our place is feeling the strain from a lot of members in the afternoon - my 7am group is a perfect size still. I know there are plans to add another coach and open up more time slots

I think it's exciting if you and your wife can make sure to make it a priority and are able to push one another.


Let me know how the delivery goes with your stuff. I am thinking about getting a kettlebell shipped at some point. I would like to have a few basic things for home.

Awesome milestone for me today! I know this isn't a huge deal for most, but with my rotator cuff injury, I had limited mobility for some lifts, specifically power cleans - I usually end up doing something similar to a muscle clean, landing on my clavicle (and I have the bruises to show for it) because I couldn't properly rotate in to catch the weight. It basically really limited my lifts in regards to weight.

So now, I am fully able to rotate my shoulders in to catch the weight. O.M.G. what a HUGE difference! It's like the heaven's opened up this morning

So excited

haha many days I somewhat feel like you and your wife, but like I said in the crossfit shit fest in out there, I like the more personal setting of 5-6 of us working rather than 30 motherfuckers going nuts getting in the way, etc, etc.

I did 2 wods today at separate boxes.

first one was at a more popular box due to a prime location, but it's ridiculously confined.

The workout was a 5 rounds for time
3 squat cleans @ 185
7 push ups

this should've taken me 4 minutes, the place didn't have platforms, I didn't have my o-lift shoes and the sponge mat they had on the floor gave a few times caused me to drop at the bottom of my squat. ended up taking 8 minutes, not to mention I was in a corner back 3 feet away from the wall with some dipshit 2 feet in front of me NO BUSINESS AT ALL DOING THAT MOVEMENT AS PRESCRIBED (RX)his form was shit and quite frankly I felt I was going to get injured by him ditching a clean on my shoulder while doing my pushups or slap my head with his bar. Class was only 12 people, but the gym was PACKED I can't even begin to imagine what their 5:30, 6:30pm classes look like with 30-40 people in there.

HOLY FUCK!!!

I went back to my box around noon, mind you I did that workout at 6:30am

did some power snatches into OHS 3 seconds down, 3 seconds up working on technique.

then 3 rounds for time
400m run
35 double unders
20 ball slams (15lbs)

took me 13 minutes, had all of the room in the world, my coach gave me some great tips about my shoulders being in the right position which really helped with my overhead squat. I instantly felt a difference in where the load was.

And he wants me to draw a logo in his gym in trade for my membership for a bit so that's cool as well.

Needless to say, a lot of crossfit gyms are popping up and focus is getting members at low rates, not being able to pay attention to their members and just shit form all over the place. I mean I'm not perfect at all and I have my vices, but if you think anything you've seen me do is bad, just magnify that by 100x for people not getting the right coaching.

This dude at the first gym front squats 275 this morning due to brute strength, weight wasn't on his shoulders, he dropped to the floor and used the bounce to get back up, all pressure and weight on his wrists (he's going to break them eventually) knee's curled inside, on his toes rolling forward.

Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolly shit.

Going to sign up for LA Fitness to do some supplemental training and conditioning. Kind of like running outside at the Rose Bowl, but driving over there to run 3 miles is kind of stupid then having to drive elsewhere to lift weights.
