    This crew is looking GOOD.

    Remember -- if you see someone you don't know and don't wind up introducing yourself in a reasonable fashion...that's a foul and results in a 5 burpee penalty and a loss of down and ten seconds added to your WOD time.
    Today's WOD

    Five (5) individually timed rounds of:

    • 10 deadlifts (185/135lbs)
    • 50 double unders

    Rest as needed between rounds

    Five to one 1 ratio single unders to double unders as a sub.

    September 2, 2010 : Squats and Questions Questions PDF Print E-mail
    Workout of the Day

    Back Squat 5-5-5-5-5

    That is all.

    No more to it than that. The general consensus is that dashes mean "add weight" versus a sets across approach. Even so, this simple, no extra detail WOD prescription leads to all sorts of questions, and I think that's the point.

    Does it mean you should do five sets of five back squats?

    Yes.

    Are those all work sets?

    Yep.

    Should I just do five sets, increasing the weight each time?

    Yes.

    Does it mean work up to a 5RM?

    Sure.

    If you go down in weight, will the CrossFit Police come?

    Definitely.Wink

    Should you do more than five sets total?

    Yes.

    And so forth....

    This is a standard CrossFit WOD with close to 5,000 posts on Beyond the Whiteboard. For whatever reason, the powers that be at BTW decided, when they entered this WOD, that the person with the higest max load out of the five sets was the "winner". To me, if that were the case, the WOD would be written: "Find your 5RM back squat". What about overall volume? It's quite possible to stay below your max, carry heavy weights across the board and wind up with more overall tonnage than you would if you stair stepped your way up to a max.

    Let's look at the #2 and #3 males for this WOD on BTW:

    Name Loads Date Total Work
    4 (2) 99th (99th) Aaron Marsters 225 lbs, 315 lbs, 375 lbs, 405 lbs, and 425 lbs | Rx'd 2009-05-11 23,111
    6 (3) 99th (99th) JAVIER SANJUAN 365 lbs, 365 lbs, 385 lbs, 385 lbs, and 395 lbs | Rx'd 2010-05-24 25,213

    Javier moved 2,102 more pounds than Aaron, and on a lift by lift comparison, outlifted Aaron in a series winning three out of five lifts, but Aaron gets the props. Is this fair? Yes! Standards for scoring are often arbitrary. The right approach for you could be to phone in a WOD using 65% of your 1RM, to max out or carry sets across. Our job is to help you with that.

    You know those posters we have? The Snatch and Clean and Jerk ones? With Aimee taking you through your progressions?

    Well, here she is doing a recent mainsite (that means crossfit.com) WOD. It was kinda in her wheelhouse.

    I am officially in the "I want to Lift Like A Girl Some Day" club.

     
    September 1, 2010 : Clean and Jerk PDF Print E-mail
    Workout of the Day

    The following WOD is brought to you by the letters "C" and "J" . Take a look at the Natalie Burgener video to see how it's done when you're just fantastic. In the WOD though, you will not be doing a complete clean and jerk. Rather, the movement standard is going to be the same as Grace. Ground to Shoulder to Overhead Anyhow.

    Today's Bit O' Fun!
    As many rounds as possible (AMRAP!) in 15 minutes of:
    • 3 Clean And Jerks 135/95 lbs
    • 15 Sit-ups
    • 15 Wall Balls 20/14 lbs to 10 feet
    Post total rounds to comments and/or beyond the whiteboard

    • 10 Pull-ups
    • 20 Air Squats

    Post total time.
