Crossfit???

Today's WOD consisted of pull ups. First time destroying my hands doing pull ups.

It hurts to wash my hands now.

 

got to trim those calluses down... also I bought a pair of grips from rogue that have helped.

one of my weak spots is my shoulders and yesterday we did strict press
my old PR was only 115 pounds today I got 140 pounds I was pretty happy with that. strict presses suck it is so hard to not get that little extra pop with the legs.

 

Yesterdays WOD was a 10min AMRAP of 400m runs. I was able to get 6 of them. Pretty stoked to get a mile and a half done. But I was beat after. I was lying on the ground for 20 minutes after.

 

Yes. I have done it. Starting back up for a while too.

 

Yesterday we worked weighted pull ups. Was able to a strict pull up with 65lbs of plates on the belt. Then our WOD was death by pull ups. I got through the round of 14 then stopped. I was starting to tear on my right hand so I just stopped. Easily had a few more rounds in me.

 

I know a lot, and I mean a lot of high class athletes who have chronicly injured themselves doing it. Back, shoulders, necks, slipped discs etc. A ton of attention needs to go into technique before going all out. which is counter-intuitive to cross fit always changing workouts. and by high class I mean pro downhillers, 5.12+ climbers, pro kayakers, mtn bikers...

 

Ahhhh good ole death by _____ work outs..


think the worst one i have done was death by Burpees...succckkked


we had a death day once.

did death by pullups...followed by death by push ups....death by squats...death by burpees.


yea..you didn't make it very far on the burpees..haha

 

Just started on TW, and I am SOOOO happy it has a CrossFit thread! I am a Level 1 Trainer at my local box (www.crossfitlegit.com). Glad to see you guys pushing it!

Today's WOD:

Strength: 3 Rounds of max strict pullups (if you can do more than 15 strict add a weight vest)

WOD: 3 RFT of 300m run
30 KB Swings (55 # for guys/35 # for girls)
50 sit ups

 

Got this doozy today:

MURPH AMRAP (Reps)
60:00 AMRAP

1 mile Run
100 Pull-Ups
200 Push-Ups
300 Body Weight Squats
1 Mile Run

Got one round, the 3rd mile and 67 reps. BRUTAL.

 

Damn that's a rough one! I'd love to try it!

 

Been crushing me lately, in a good way.

 

Hey welcome to TW.. I'm on the new side too. What's your personal suggestion on how to start Crossfit? Already have a year membership elsewhere so trying to get ideas whether CF is going to be right for me to do.

 

You forgot the decimal points. I fixed that for you . How the heck do you do 100, 200 and 300 of each? That will kill me.
I am trying to stay in shape but I am not able to get any where near that.

 

It depends on your personal fitness level. I would recommend going by and checking out one of your local CrossFit boxes, visit with some of the coaches there. Most of them have some sort of "On Ramp" program to get you used to the Olympic lifting and high intensity. I used to do a bodybuilding style workout, and was getting pretty bored with it. I decided to go check out CrossFit and never looked back!

 

Haha! You can split it up into 10 rounds like that, which is what I did. The first time I did Murph, we had to do 100, 200, 300, and the last mile was horrible! Legs felt like jello after 300 squats.

 

Best way to split up murph is by doing 33 rounds of 3 pullups, 6 pushups, 9 squats, with your first round being 4 pullups, 8 pushups, 12 squats.

provides enough of a break between movements that it's not so bad.

 

just finished this in bunk gear(firefighter turnout). Threw up 2x & now wanting to use a SCBA unit. Man, this shit is addicting

 

Todays WOD

12min AMRAP
5 Manmakers 40#DB
10 Chest to Bar Pull Ups
15 KB Swings at 70lb

I got 3 rounds plus 1 Manmaker. This WOD was brutal on the grip. I had a tear on my palm from doing death by pull ups last week.

 

Are you opening your own or do you mean at home???
