Just didn't feel like a real day at CF not leaving Pete behind...guess it was time to give the kid a break. Backsquats: 75-95-115-115-115 - stayed at 115 practicing form. Thanks for the help, D, it actually started to make sense, after four months ;)

Terra commented on 31-Mar-2010 08:32 AM

Any suggestions on what/where to purchase boots for the Mud Run? I wanted to run in them this weekend for practice. Thx.

Elisabeth Roper commented on 31-Mar-2010 08:38 AM

Have size 6 if you can fit in- welcome to borrow for mud run. Otherwise you can pick up cheap ones at Ohama's downtown FTW.

Tina Neuwirth commented on 31-Mar-2010 02:17 PM

OHS 3-3-3-3-3: 65, 75, 85, 95, 105 (PR). Helen: 13:17 Rx'd, (also PR, by 2 seconds, but the last time I did it I used a 30# dumbell and a band for pull ups!). I love improvement!!! I've hit 6 PRs this month!

Peter Dyer commented on 31-Mar-2010 06:16 PM

Terra, I think they make orthopedic mud run boots for people your age.

Corey Doyle commented on 31-Mar-2010 07:24 PM

Wow, Peter... I'm a good 5 years older than Terra. I guess I should be using a walker. Hey BRADY..... I did Helen tonight in 9:09. Mwahahah!!! (maniacal laughter) Thought you might like to hear about it. Dman still got me by 11 sec (I'll get you one day Dman!) After nearly puking I settled down and did a few backsquats. Only had time to do 4 sets, but worked up from 145 (is that right Troy?) to end at 235.

Michele Deaton commented on 31-Mar-2010 07:39 PM

BS - 65,75,85,85,95. Not strong but proud! Finally getting the hang of it! I just figured out that what I posted on the board was 5# lighter per set than I really did. That feels good! My one rep max a while back, done with correct form, was 95# and tonight I did 5! WooHoo!

brady gunn commented on 31-Mar-2010 08:05 PM

Well well. Congrats mista Corey. Enjoy your time on the board at number one amongst members. It'll only be up there until next time helen comes up because I WILL post a sub "Corey". It wasn't a PR but I love the competition anyway!! You're awesome dude. Sweet times by u and d-man.

Darin Deaton commented on 31-Mar-2010 08:19 PM

Great Helens and back squats! Everyone is moving better by the day. Good movement is skill, right? Helen rx'd 8:58.

Corey Doyle commented on 31-Mar-2010 08:26 PM

No Brady, YOU da man! After you obliterated my 500m row and my 50 burpee time on Monday, I had to cling to something! Good times.

Reed commented on 31-Mar-2010 09:03 PM

Back squats 155-175-205-225-255#(3). After being sick all weekend and a long ride on the bike last night I was pretty happy with those weights. My legs were dead. Corey you killed it tonight, way to go brotha! I'm still in the burpee family with 36 tonight! I love this stuff!

Elisabeth Roper commented on 31-Mar-2010 09:07 PM

BS-75-95-115-115-115 Thanks for assist Erin and of course always great coaching from Clayton! Tina, you are beastly beyond words. And Terra, you don't have to put up w/ Pete's abuse - come to the evening class We love you. AS for for Big Gunn and Senior Corey - does the word BROMANCE mean anything to you two?

Tina Neuwirth commented on 31-Mar-2010 09:51 PM

Dman, (and Corey), those times are smokin! Wow! Elis, I think Terra and Pete like their smack-talkin'...spurs them on! Can't wait to see you two go head to head this Friday! Good times! Oh, and thanks, Elis. I was going to try a BW squat today. Thought I could get one, but just felt weak even getting it OH, so I decided to wait. Maybe next time.

Troy Landrum commented on 31-Mar-2010 10:21 PM

Back Squats: 145-165-175-185(3)-185(3). Got too far in the hole on the last couple of sets. So...Clayton helped me with form for a few more rounds at much lighter weight.

Shoulder press day: 5x5. 45-55-60-65-70 (assist x 2 on the last set). I think that is still a PR, so I am ok with that! Working hard on improving upper body! Also did L sits to failure x 4 (don't be too impressed...look at the times): 28 seconds, 23, 17, 14. Enjoy Helen, that is a great one. I might do that one later this week if I can find time.

Christi Dutton commented on 30-Mar-2010 08:18 AM

Helen scaled: 400m run, 21 kb swings-25#, 12 pull ups with black band. 16:14. Miles, thanks for encouraging the "new girl"!

Chad Caussey commented on 30-Mar-2010 12:36 PM

Nice pic. What, am I too big to fit in the pic, on the end next to Corey? :/

kimberly mccauley commented on 30-Mar-2010 06:49 PM

hahaah that 1 pood got realllly heavy really quick. only did one round with it!

Elisabeth Roper commented on 30-Mar-2010 07:22 PM

helen-ihatu today subbed row 500M = 13:59. fore arm screamed at me. Great work by the evening studs

Terra commented on 30-Mar-2010 08:25 PM

Helen as rx'd, except green band pullups, could have done blue. 10:58 Still was an improvement from Feb. when I only did the 25#KB and came in at 11:30. Yippie.

Troy Landrum commented on 30-Mar-2010 09:51 PM

Helen - 11:59 Rx'd. Didn't beat my PR. I'm gonna blame it on the wind blowing in my face...hehe. Nice work Terra!

Athena Lee commented on 31-Mar-2010 12:02 AM

Cleans - 115-125-135-145-165. RDL - 135 all three sets. 50 burpees - 2:06. Fun AM class today. Had some strong numbers this morning from everyone.

Terra commented on 29-Mar-2010 09:11 AM

Love the new membership profile, check it out if you haven't. I am really excited about the new strength cycle we are in! I am sure I will be feeling it tomorrow. cleans: 55, 65, 75, 85, 90 (2-F); RDL 55, 65, 65 - probaby should have gone heavier here but after lunges Sat and trail-running yesterday, I was scared to put too much pressure on my hamstrings. Burpies: 3:02 - the boys blew me away, but I might have been slower had I not been trying to keep up. Love the team atmosphere of CF-FTW. Great group this AM!

Darin Deaton commented on 29-Mar-2010 10:03 AM

We are live on the DFW Mud Run site! Sweet!

Elisabeth Roper commented on 29-Mar-2010 10:28 AM

Terra- beastly numbers on your cleans! You go girl!

Peter Dyer commented on 29-Mar-2010 12:12 PM

Cleans: 115/125/135/155/165. RDL: 135 all three sets. 50 burpees: 2:21. Competition was great this morning. Corey and I both agreed we probably could have pushed the cleans a little harder in regards to weight. Last set should have been 185 till failure. At least the form was good. For the record, I wasn't saying Terra was old enough to be my Mom. Maybe, an older sister, separated by 10-12 years or so...but not old enough to be my Mom :) Anywho, good job this morning everyone! We should be giving the PM crew a run for their money.

Tina Neuwirth commented on 29-Mar-2010 08:35 PM

Wow, Corey, I'd venture to say that you are still the burpee king! That is smokin' fast! Terra, nice cleans! You are already coming up on what I worked for months to get! I just finally accomplished 110 a few weeks ago! Pete, you just got Terra back in class after that comment...are you trying to run her off again? Today I did 1 mile, rest 1:1, than 1 mile. The first one felt pretty good, the fastest I've done in probably a year at 7:26. The goal was not to lose more than a minute, and I struggled and barely made it in 8:26 on the second mile after having to walk a little. I guess I should be happy with the 7:26 and not beat myself up too much about the second one. Next time I'll hold a tighter second mile!

Elisabeth Roper commented on 29-Mar-2010 08:51 PM

Cleans-45-55-65-65(4)-70 ; RDL 70# all 3 sets, 50 burpees 3:28.

Christi Dutton commented on 29-Mar-2010 10:38 PM

Cleans: 45-55-60-65-60; RDL 60# for all 3 sets. Burpees: 5:59. Sucking wind! Paying physically for Vegas excursion last week! Looking forward to boot camp to get me back into the groove!

Michele Deaton commented on 30-Mar-2010 07:28 AM

Cleans-45,55,60,65,60(for form practice) RDL-60# all 3 sets (hammies are tight!) 50 Burpees-5:14 Shooting for under 4 but I guess that's what I get for avoiding burpees!

kimberly mccauley commented on 30-Mar-2010 06:56 PM

Cleans - 45-55-65-75-85 (the last set was hard!) RDL - 45-55-55 50 burpees - 4'5"

I couldn't resist but say something on the blog this am. I probably should have posted it on the Food Blog but I wanted to make sure everyone would see it here. When I got home last night, I sat down to veg for a minute and there was a show on called, Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. He was trying to introduce normal whole foods into a public school system. As I watched him interact with the administrative staff of the school, cooks and others, I was amazed at how far we have come from providing our most precious possession, our children, with the resources needed to live a healthy and productive life, good food! The kids did not even know how to use eating utensils. They had been eating processed and packaged food for so long, that they did not know how to eat properly. We have a society full of short cuts, take the easy road, and settle for second best attitudes. How can we accept this when it comes to our children? I can't! Take the information that we teach you in your CrossFit training about proper nutrition and share it with your family. Will they like it at first, maybe not. My kids don't like everything healthy we serve, but they are eating healthier than ever before, and they can independently make good decisions between good or bad food choices. Isn't that our job, to train our children in the way that they should go, so when they are old they won't depart from it? Be a vanguard for change and join the food revolution to eat healthy food!

Thanks for posting Jamie's video and making me aware of the pandemic mal-content food crisis that is facing the next generations. Stephen WOD scaled: abmat situps, and 55#SLDL= 16:55; almost 3 minutes off my previous - however, it was offset by 75# SLDL

Christi Dutton commented on 27-Mar-2010 10:31 PM

Darin, I saw that show the other night and was amazed that not only did the children get fed food that did not require the use of utensils...but that they could not identify fruits and vegetables! Makes you wonder what parents and schools are doing with the time they should be teaching! As a nurse practitioner who works in a children's hospital, I can assure you that obesity is starting younger and younger. We are seeing more and more one and two year olds that weigh 50 and 60 pounds! I believe we are going to have the first generation of parents that outlive their children due to weight related health issues if there is not a major change in how we eat as a nation. Very sad!

Great WOD this morning! It was a battle head to head with Charlie. I checked the site before leaving the house and saw 30 KB swings thinking it was at the usual 1.5 pood. I almost pood when I saw it was 2. Snatch: 75-95-115-110. This is a tough movement for me but towards the end I got the it down. I just kept forgetting to stand at the end. Luckily Tina was there to point it out. Metcon as RX'd - 5:40 Sure missed Mom this morning.

Corey Doyle commented on 26-Mar-2010 07:10 PM

75-95-115-115. Metcon 7:26 w 2 pood.. That was rough but good to do the kb again. Pete your time was crazy fast. Fun to work w a big class tonight.

Tina Neuwirth commented on 26-Mar-2010 08:34 PM

Pete definitely rocked it this AM! Charlie gave a great effort too! We missed the rest of the AM crowd - Erin, Amber, Cesa, Terra. See you guys next time. We did a Darin special this AM: 3 cleans (82% of max, so 90# for me) and 10 burpees, AMRAP in 5 mins. with a goal of 4-5 rounds. I finished 4 just as the 5 minute timer went off but wanted to do 5, so I did it and finished at 6:45. That was a TOUGH 7 mins!

WOOHOO! This WOD looks totally TOXIC! Gotta give it a try! I'd like to see how you scale a one legged Squat:-)

Darin Deaton commented on 25-Mar-2010 07:37 AM

One legged squat easy to scale and there are some cheat methods that allow you to still use good form and do the movement. Gonna be fun! Everything can be scaled.

Terra commented on 25-Mar-2010 07:47 AM

E- what is wrong with us, that I thought the same thing!? Looks like fun!

Corey Doyle commented on 25-Mar-2010 07:16 PM

9 rounds plus hspu's, squats and 10 pullups. Scaled the one legged squats to split-squats. All else as RX'd. Troy, you killed it tonight my friend. I'm sure everyone else did too, but I was next to T-Roy the whole time.

Troy Landrum commented on 26-Mar-2010 05:43 AM

10 rounds. Did HSPU with feet on bar and split-squats. Thanks Corey, but someday soon, I hope to do real HSPU's like you!

Elisabeth Roper commented on 26-Mar-2010 08:35 AM

cfftw wod- totally toxic! you missed a good one Terra! 10 rds scaled hspu w/ blue/red band, scaled pistols (shooting blanks i'm afraid), red band pull up. Athena & Kimberly - heard ya'll were the sporting hottest pistols in the house!

Athena Lee commented on 26-Mar-2010 11:08 AM

12 rounds. First 6 were done with: Scaled HSPU with feet on the bar, Blue band pull-ups and one-legged squats as RX'd. Last 6 were with green bands, plate presses (coz Matt said I started to look like an upside down caterpillar) and one-legged squats as RX'd (the mental chant "Will have Jessica Biel's butt, Will have Jessica Biel's butt, Will have Jessica Biel's butt" kept me going).... the squats didn't bother me much until I got out of bed today. Owie!

Elisabeth Roper commented on 26-Mar-2010 11:25 AM

Athena- I'm so jealous! My A-hem doesn't hurt but my fore arms do! So, i was totally shooting blanks on those pistols yesterday and used my arms too much! How I wish i could have a pain in the behind too..

kimberly mccauley commented on 26-Mar-2010 03:37 PM

8 rounds + HSPU and 4 1 legged squats...tore up my hands but it was awesome!!!

LOVE that pic!!! Today's WOD: 45, 55, 60, 65, 70 Way to go Pete...your sub-1:30 row was awesome, but the quick recovery makes me think you had more in you?! Looking forward to seeing you move up the board this spring. D- thanks for the POSE info, I can't wait to start learning. As I expected, my daughter loves the hopping around the house :) Fun times!

Peter Dyer commented on 24-Mar-2010 11:07 AM

Thanks Terra. See everyone we can be civil! Terra is like a mom to me. Thanks Mom! Push Press: 95-105-115-125-135. So I wasn't happy with my row Monday, especially when Corey pushed me into 5th. I redid it and got a new PR @ 1:29.7 - this is how the morning crew rows! Terra/Mom you are right though, I recovered too quick. I'm going to keep at it. Darin, thanks for the Pose info. I look forward to using this method...especially to beat Terra. Erin, it's awesome to see you progress. Good Job!

Corey Doyle commented on 24-Mar-2010 01:58 PM

Way to go this morning guys. Great row Pete! All of our guys have the strength to tear up the rower. It's mostly a matter of proper technique on those short distances.

Terra commented on 24-Mar-2010 02:13 PM

Wow...un-necessary roughness. And I was trying to be excited for you and encouraging...when in reality, we both know you'll never be a Brady or Corey or... I mean afterall, I have never been able to beat Corey in WOD after WOD, perhaps Darin was correct "good job, ladies!"

Tina Neuwirth commented on 24-Mar-2010 02:25 PM

Nice talk Pete, I bet "mom" will teach you a lesson next WOD! Today we were supposed to go to the gym, but got held up at the clinic, so we did 1 mile again...much better today: 7:40. I am pretty sure the last time was not right. And FS 5x5: 85-105-125-135-145.

Peter Dyer commented on 24-Mar-2010 04:53 PM

Geez Terra. Now you're acting like a mean step-mom!

Reed commented on 24-Mar-2010 08:06 PM

Good group tonight and good WOD too! 75-95-105-115-125. My shoulders were burning! Im about to do my burpees and they (my shoulders) are not happy with my intentions. Oh well, gotta stay in the family!

Corey Doyle commented on 24-Mar-2010 08:50 PM

Tonight's wod - 95-115-135-145-155 Then did a 2000m row - 7:04. Reed, sorry we didn't have time to go over some rowing. We'll do it next time.

Sorry guys the site went a little crazy yesterday. Wac! Should be back to normal, if there is such a thing. BootCamp is starting up check out the tab under programs! Ladies only on this one guys...hehe BTW, need one of you guys to break the new 2k row record in the box, 7:18.1.

Tina Neuwirth commented on 23-Mar-2010 08:01 AM

Nice picture Terra, and congrats on making the Endurance site! Today I had limited time, so I did thrusters 3-3-3-3-3: 65-75-85-95-95 (1-1-1). 100 double unders: 2:01 (did not get my PR of 1:56, guess my coordination was a little off this AM). I'll have to catch today's WOD later. Looks like a fun one!

Jeremy Bankes commented on 23-Mar-2010 09:42 AM

It's a sad day in the Doyle house today.

brady gunn commented on 23-Mar-2010 10:02 AM

yeah, not once but TWICE! Corey was thrown down the board......hahaha! You're still the man Doyle. And although today's wod looks freakin awesome Chipper'esque, I have another track meet so will be doing something similar today at school. kill it!

Corey Doyle commented on 23-Mar-2010 10:27 AM

I'm just happy for you guys that after all this time you finally got sub 1:30 times. I was getting very lonely down at that level all by myself. I think it's been about 4 months. But I digress. Congratulations guys. I will be doing the wod tonight and we will see what happens. Seriously, those are crazy fast times. They will be hard to beat.

Terra commented on 23-Mar-2010 11:14 AM

Corey...there is power in your words! You will do awesome tonight!!! Skip the cheeseburger for lunch and you'll be sub-1:20 :)

Jeremy Bankes commented on 23-Mar-2010 11:51 AM

Corey, the good news is you still have a comfortable lead in the "Seniors" division! Good luck tonight, you will need to catch up with robo-hips Gunn.

Corey Doyle commented on 23-Mar-2010 12:20 PM

Not quite "Seniors" but closing in with a few months from 40. That's why my original time was so impressive and why my time tonight will be even more astounding.

Chad Caussey commented on 23-Mar-2010 01:02 PM

Man look at all those PRs. Brady was definitely making the Rower Hop and Jeremy beat it into submission. That's how we Rowlllll

Corey Doyle commented on 23-Mar-2010 01:38 PM

No doubt... everyone killed it! To put Brady and Jeremy's times into perspective, on the Concept2 Rower website, people from all over the world submit their times for various distances. These times include official indoor rowing competitions. Brady's time was 56th this season, which ends in April, and Jeremy's was 148th. For the state of Texas, they are 2nd and 4th respectively. That is smokin.

Corey Doyle commented on 23-Mar-2010 01:43 PM

To add to that, this is out of over 4000 times submitted. To be in the 90th percentile you need to be at or below 1:29.7.

Corey Doyle commented on 23-Mar-2010 07:22 PM

Yesterdays wod - cleans from pwr position - 115-135-165-165. Then came the row.... I felt good at the start. The pull felt strong but my starting pace was too slow at 1:25. Not a good start. After 250 meters my pace had dropped to 1:27 and I had already done the math in my head. It wouldn't happen today. But I plodded along trying to keep my hands quick as my legs continued to fade. The last 100 meters felt like another 250 and I finished at 1:30.1. Didn't even get close to my old PR. The row master is dead, long live row master Gunn. You and Jeremy flat out rocked it. Thanks Jer for coming up to watch implode. But I live to row another day.

DL's: 105, 115, 125, 135, 145 - had fun lifting with Athena! This WOD was as challenging as I expected, but apparently I rowed with my arms tonight, so by the time I got to pullups, it was not pretty. My band was not there, so Clayton put the blue up, 3 pulls, and I realized it wasn't happened, so I went to the green. 14# ball, 18" box. My cardio KILLED me in this WOD, but it was fun challenge. 15:39

DL: 105-115-125-135-145. MetCon Portion: Everything as RX'd except for the pullups (Blue Band) 17:02 ish.. Man, I knew Terra was fast and I THOUGHT I had a good 200m head start in the running portion when she just blew past me, stopped at Tip Top, stretched a little bit, had a cup of coffee and ran back and ended up being ahead by almost 2 min! It was fun working out with ya, Terra! =)

Cleans

WOD

Power Cleans - Power Position 4x4

500 Meter Row for time

GHD Hip Ext 3x10

Post loads and time to comments

Brian Lee Deadlifting a 400 year old Cannon Ball in Puerto Rico!

The power position is in the second pull of the clean. This is the most powerful pull during the clean. During this phase of the movement there is triple extension of the hip, knee and ankles. This is important for functional tasks like box jumps, kettle bell swings, jumping, lifting and squatting. Who couldn't use more powerful hips, right! 

Here's a good question for you; what body system is most affected by Olympic lifting, 1> neurological 2>cardiovascular 3>Aerobic?

Today I ran a mile, one mile. We first clocked the distance with my I-phone. Miles and I are both hoping it is wrong, because I sure hope I can still run faster than what I got: 8:26. Miles "only" got a 5:51, which is slow for him too. It hurt more than an 8:26, that's for sure! I kept thinking, Terra runs faster than this for 13 miles!!! Not that I ever plan to be that good, but I thought I could run faster than 8:26. Guess I'll be doing that again soon!

Way to go Michele! Great pic of you on the Xfit Ladies Bootcamp flier too. I PR'd today on my 500M row w/ a 2:17. Yup. Of course the guys upset the row master (AKA Corey) with some new records! Lots of PRs tonite! Cleans 35-45-55-65- and stopped there. Felt really weak in the arms .. but pretty happy with my pathetic and prophetic rowing.

Elisabeth Roper commented on 22-Mar-2010 09:23 PM

OOOh-pick me!! the system most affected by Oly lifting is #1 neurological... Right? Or is this a trick question and has multiple answers...:-)

Terra commented on 22-Mar-2010 10:02 PM

Send me the flier so I can pass it around. I posted earlier...but the website did some weird stuff today. Great AM group this morning! The guys rocked the rowers...Pete did awesome...way to go man. I am seriously weak on the Oly lifts, but really excited to be working on strength again. 35#, and stayed at 45#. row was 1:59.8. Not sure if this was a PR but it felt fast! Tina...I have heard the phones are not 99% accurate, as my watch says it is. Maybe run the same route again? You are SO much stronger than me...that's my goal...to get stronger :)

Tina Neuwirth commented on 23-Mar-2010 08:09 AM

Thanks Terra. You get stronger, and I'll try to get faster!
