This is a rest-pause technique in which the lifter does a rep, takes a breath, and repeats 19 times. I'm not finding a good video on this, so I'm gonna have to make one.

Movement-timed stations

Three stations completed for total points in five rounds:
- Plate Drags - 20 yards (25/10 lbs)*
- Sandbag Cleans (75/50 lbs)
- Up-downs**

Stations will be timed from the Plate Drags. Each rotation will be the time it takes for the person on Plate Drags to go 10 yards across the floor and back.

If there are fewer than 3 people in a workout, the rotation that does not have anyone doing the plate drag will be timed at 1 minute.

Scoring: 5 points for completion of each leg of the plate drag (so, 10 points for down-and-back), 1 point for each clean and each full up-down.

*Plate drags: With your toes hooked in a weight plate, come into a high plank position and use your arms to drag the plate across the floor for the specified distance. Rx'd is a 25# plate for men and a 10# plate for women. A 5# plate and a 0# plate (also known as a frisbee) will be available for scaling.

** Up-downs: Just like it sounds. Stand up, lay down, stand up, lay down, ad nauseum. Kind of like the Denis Leary "Chairmaster" but about 20" farther.


Tuesday 7/1/08

Kettlebell Swings/Turkish Get-ups

Complete as many reps as necessary at the weight of your choice to reach your assigned total weight in each exercise:
Women:
Swings - 1600 kg; TGU - 160 kg
Men < 200 lbs:
Swings - 2400 kg; TGU - 240 kg
Men 200+ lbs:
Swings 3200 kg; TGU - 320 kg

So, for example: Coach is in the 200+ class, so he needs to total up to 3200 kg in swings and 320 kg in Turkish Getups. He can do this as 100 swings and 10 TGUs at 32 kg, or 134 swings at 24 kg and 20 TGUs at 16 kg, or 400 swings and 40 TGUs at 8 kg. His choice.

This workout will be done for time, so the heaviest weight that can be managed without extended rest will provide the best score!


Monday 6/30/08

"Cindy"

Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
- 5 Pull-ups

CrossFit Total

Back squat, 1 rep

For "Black" groups, reduction of weight from one attempt to the next in a lift is not permitted (i.e. if you fail at 150 lbs, you are not permitted to try 135 lbs).

A good progression for the three attempts is:
#1 - Use a weight that can be successfully lifted for three reps

CrossFit Stations Demo

With a continuously running clock, spend one minute at each station.

The clock does not stop or reset between stations. On call of "rotate", each person moves immediately to the next station in the sequence.

- Wallball (20 lbs men/12 lbs women)
- Slamball (20 lbs men/12 lbs women)
- Pullups
- Situps
- Box jumps

One point is given for each repetion, with continuous counting through the entire round. Score is the total number of points through the entire workout.


Friday 5/2/08:

"The Bear"
Hybrid complex
5 rounds of 7 "reps" of the sequence:
- Power clean
- Front squat
- Push press
- Back squat
- Push Press

Each "rep" is one time through the entire sequence; each "round" consists of 7 reps.

There is no time component to this workout; rest as long as needed between rounds, BUT there is no stopping the weight on the floor within a round even to regrip!
DEFY! will be doing this WOD for TOTAL weight; e.g. rounds of 35/45/55/65/75 lbs give a total of 275 lbs

"CrossFit Total"

Back squat, 1 rep
Shoulder Press, 1 rep
Deadlift, 1 rep

After a thorough warmup, including sets with lighter weights, the lifter gets three attempts at each lift.
The greatest weight successfully completed in each lift is the score for the lift.
The score for the W.O.D. is the total of the scores for the three lifts.
For "Black" groups, reduction of weight from one attempt to the next in a lift is not permitted (i.e. if you fail at 150 lbs, you are not permitted to try 135 lbs).

A common progression for the three attempts is:
Attempt #1 - Use a weight that can be successfully lifted for three reps
Attempt #2 - Use a weight that has been successfully lifted for a single rep recently
Attempt #3 - Try for a PR, if warranted
