Community for CrossFitters, by Crossfitters & anyone interes

Thank you both.. I am going today and going with the 10 session punch card and go two times a week and still do my regular workouts at the gym I currently go to.


@Cheri0627 - I've taken the intro class and I'm pretty sure I will like it b/c I used to do a few of these exercises on my own but never in the combination like crossfit. (I am circuit training on my own now but having a group to train with is going to be great!)

@XFitMojoMom - Get well soon and thanks for this thread!

WOD 8/24

Warmup
AMRAP 10
* lunge down
* jump over parallelettes/box jumps back
* side steps down
* 20 situps
* 2 laps

Workout
AMRAP 20
* 5 jumping lunges (per legs)
* 5 leg lifts
* 5 box jumps
* 10 goblet squats (4 rounds with the 16Kg KB, 2 with the 12Kg)
* 5 pushups
* 2 laps

Warmdown
:30/:10 x8
squats, resting in the down position

Lots of little notes today:

* For the first time I realized I can do 20 situps in a row (at a pretty good clip) without a problem
* I'm getting a lot faster at my lunges
* I was trying to do unmodified pushups every round, I did 2 in the first 5 rounds, and 3 in the last round.
* I did have to rest while doing the goblet squats with the 16Kg KB, but I was resting in the down position. (My trainer pointed this out.)
* When I was using 12Kg, I didn't have to rest at all.
* I decided to only do one lap instead of 2 in the workout because I thought the other stuff was more important, and I wanted to do more. Since I can't run, it takes quite a bit longer for me to walk.

I really liked this workout a lot. It was fun, and I felt like I was really doing well.

Fran is on tap for later today.. I'm nervous!

I saw this too!! I think Cameron Diaz looks great, her arms are a LITTLE too veiny for my taste though. LOL

Fran! Oh boy! Good luck!

Wed 8/24
Helen
3 rounds for time
400m run
21 KB swings 1 pood
12 Pull-ups
16:49

I was 30 seconds slower since my last time. I am ok with this since last time I was using the thickest band. Today I was using a lower resistance band. So its a win in my book. One day I will not need bands, I am determined :-)

Awesome on the pullup improvement!!! I, too, am determined that some day I will be able to do pullups on my own. Right now, I still struggle with the second thickest band pretty badly.

AMRAP for 15 as Rx'd
lunges wall to wall (10lb plate for me)
5 ring dips
10 sit ups

4 2/3 is what I completed ... I was the only one who got the Rx'd work out in the newbie class. Crossing my fingers that we can hit snatches Friday so I can complete Rx'd WODS everyday!

At least yours allows bands! I just received my bands and they are "banned" from my box. I'm going to get a ceiling mount pull up bar so I can start practicing and finally get a damned pull up. The bane of my crossfit life... because any WOD with pull ups (or muscle ups/ring dips) I can't Rx

I don't know why they would ban them. I think it would just be discouraging to not be able to do a pushup and not really have anything to help me do them at all.

What do you do for pull ups?

Today was rough!!

WOD: Grindy

10 Thruster (50#)
5 Rounds of Cindy (5 pullups, 10 Pushups, 15 Squats)
10 Clean & Jerk (50#)
5 Rounds of Cindy (5 Pullups, 10 Pushups, 15 Squats)
10 SDHP (50#)

15:00 on the dot.

Then we did relay races (sprints) with the sled with 35# plates, 100m x 2.
My hammies are killing from this!

Welcome to unadulterated CrossFit!

Been training some girls at our box for their first 5K. SO proud of them. Everyone finished.

My time was 24:36. Good enough for 2nd place in my age group. Hoping I'll get back down to a sub-24 soon.

modified WOD due to left arm soreness from car accident

10 minute warm up on stationary bike

3 rounds
2 min bike
25 air squats
20 back extensions
15 each side oblique (I think?) V-sits
We did not time anything. Just wanted to get some movement in and see how my arm felt.

Ran a 10 mile road race Saturday so come Monday I was still sore!!! but I did it.

8/29 WOD:
5 rounds for time:

20 KB swings with 44# bell (Rx was 35#
7 handstand pushups (instead of doing box pushups I was told I could do handstands against the wall, lock elbows and hold)
20 goblet squats with 44# KB (Rx was just air squats)
7 toes to bar (I was able to do some, but the rest were knees to chest)

Time: 21:39

This was a WOD of a person but I forgot the name!

Kerri, you're making the rest of us look bad!!! :laugh:

Today was pretty dang tough. I think sitting on the toilet will be hard tomorrow. :embarassed:

WOD: "Sa-squat-ch"

5 Rounds for time:

10 Squat Snatches
10 Overhead Squats
10 Squat Cleans
10 Front Squats
10 Back Squats

Do 3 burpees on the minute every minute = 87 burpees!! Yow.

Finished in 29:59 to avoid another 3 burpees. LOL

RX was 45# for women, I did 30#. I just cannot get those overhead squats on a higher weight and we had to use the same weight for all.
