Deadlift and burpees is a nasty combo.
Try doing tabata with these, they're worse.
20 sec deadlift, 10 sec rest, 20 seconds burpees. Repeat for up to 4 minutes. Anymore than that, your form suffers a bit. But maybe some of you can do more. 3/20/2010 5:47:16 PM |

Did Fran today. But spiked it with 21-15-9 calorie row.
Thrusters is my least favorite lift. It's like a power clean, front squat, and overhead press all in one. Not fun!
What's everyone's least favorite/favorite?

Timing of the pollen outbreak was pretty good. It was about time to take an extended break from the gym, and as an asthmatic the green/yellow haze was making it super hard to breath. Ended up taking two weeks off.
Hurt to come back, but it was a good hurt:
From crossfit main: 30 HSPU (subbed 80# press/push-press) 40 pullups 50 kettlebell swings 1.5 pood (subbed 1 pood; highest weight at Y) 60 situps 70 burpees
30:01. Not a good time, but had to start back somewhere. 4/28/2010 11:24:59 AM |

My sister is getting her cross-fit training certificate (I believe that's what its called) in Wilmington in a couple weeks. She's pretty excited, but not really looking forward to getting worn the fuck out over the weekend. Sounds like it could be worse than the competitions she's been in. 4/28/2010 2:00:04 PM |

GoldieO All American 1801 Posts user info edit post |
^^^^^^ Fran is definitely one of my least favorite workouts too and I'm doing it again Friday for the third time. My first time back in December took me around 17 mins, second time back in Feb. took me around 14 mins, I'm hoping to get to the 10 min mark this time.
Anytime I walk in and see thrusters on the board as part of a WOD I instantly want to turn around and leave. 4/28/2010 2:50:29 PM |

I'm officially in the sub 10 min club for Fran! I finished this morning in approx. 8:45. I say approx. bc I had a timer issue, but overall a vast improvement since my last attempt. 4/30/2010 11:28:29 AM |

^ Are you going full weight and doing the pull-ups without assistance? 4/30/2010 11:51:59 AM |
GoldieO All American 1801 Posts user info edit post |
if 95lbs is full weight, then yes. and no assistance with pull-ups although i do kip. if i can get quicker with my pull-ups i think i can drop a good minute off of my time. 4/30/2010 3:01:53 PM |
theDuke866 All American 52838 Posts user info edit post |
I think my best time was just a little under 8:00, doing 95 lb thrusters and only kipping on the last few of the pull-ups.
but that was about a year ago...the last time I did Fran, I passed out on the floor. 4/30/2010 3:23:07 PM |
AC Slater All American 9276 Posts user info edit post |
yea no way i could do 95lbs all the way through.
i usually scale down to 75lbs and finish in the 5-6 minute range 4/30/2010 3:24:17 PM |
theDuke866 All American 52838 Posts user info edit post |
if you're finishing that quickly, why not do it as rx'd? 4/30/2010 3:32:11 PM |
AC Slater All American 9276 Posts user info edit post |
because im afraid im gonna end up like you and pass the fuck out on the floor
i havent done it in awhile and my squats/shoulder press workouts have all increased weight wise. so yea i'll try it one of these days.

I just finished that workout...it was harder than I thought it would be.
I started with the "official" warmup:
3x10 continuous circuit of push ups, dead hang pull-ups, sit ups, 70 lb kettlebell swings (sub'd for back extensions), overhead broom handle squats, and "samson stretch"...
then I did that WoD with 65 lb dumbbells, and except for the first round, I had to stop for 30 seconds or so in the middle of each round (after the push presses on the 2nd round, and after the hang cleans in the 3rd and 4th rounds). I didn't even bother to increase the weight...I should have started at 50 lbs or so. 5/6/2010 5:54:09 PM |

^^yeah that WOD took me by surprise
I started at 50 for the first 2, dropped to 45 for the next 2, and then used 55 on the last set 5/6/2010 7:57:13 PM |

in case anyone ever wants to mix it up, my gym usually comes up with conditioning that's different than the main site:

and anytime you're in charlotte, drop on in for a workout.

What are the drop-in rates for some boxes that you guys have visited when out of town?
My friend went out of town for work to NJ and he told me the drop-in fee was 35 bucks at one particular affiliated. I didn't ask which. 5/7/2010 4:22:33 PM |
GoldieO All American 1801 Posts user info edit post |
I think it varies, but in my limited experience a lot of gyms won't charge you anything for a one time visit. I know when I'm back in town I hit up Triangle Crossfit and the owner, Clay, doesn't ever charge me. I'm pretty sure my gym here in Charlotte handles it the same way.
BTW, check out Triangle Crossfit if you're in the southern part of Wake county. Small gym, but great atmosphere and Clay knows his stuff.

swam 750m
Crossfit warmup
Squats 1RM: 275, 295 (fail, snagged on rack and threw me off balance), 295, 305 (didn't go down quite as far as normal, but, still a reasonable squat)
Shoulder Press: 135, 155, 165 (fail)
Deadlift: 315, 365, 385, 405
yeah, I know, the squats need work.
