Was it the Clean, or was it the Burpee? It was the combination. Lethal. We were the nail. Again. Felt great...

Three rounds:
135 pound Hang power clean, 15 reps
15 Burpee's

Super good workout everyone. Seriously fast times Kathryn, Lynde, Cliff, and Corey. You all have the cardio-respiratory system of King Kong! Congratulations Keith- you're doing it. Good job Dave- just keep that shoulder happy (you too Andrea).

Remember and practice the cues and patterns we worked on while "Cleaning up the Clean". They will help maintain efficient movement as you grind through reps, and nothing gasses like "O" lifts for reps.

Thanks very much for the Frog Tog Kathryn and Dave. It, and you, are very much appreciated.

Just for kicks, we compared time and load from 10 people from both the lunch crew and the night crew. Here's how things broke down:                  

                 Total time     Total load
Lunch-        1:15:39         720 lbs.
Night-         1:09:16         680 lbs.

Imagine the sense of accomplishment Olympic athletes feel as they stand victorious on the podium. We may not be Olympians, but we know this feeling as CrossFitters. We feel it every time we finish a wod. That's a huge part of why we do it- why we work so hard. We can. Most can't. An uncommon dedication to fitness...

10 Handstand push-ups/*HS prog.

This was another fun couplet. Thanks CFHQ! Relatively short, unless you subbed out the GHD sit-ups for ab mat sit-ups. Again, the sub was worse than the exercise. We did allow a 1:1 Toes to bar sub that some people took advantage of.

We hit the targets we set, from properly placed racks, to solid dips and drives, and finishing with strong, active shoulders. Great job on hitting those cues.  JUMP!

Motivation has never been a problem, especially with Hero workouts, but upon completion of the fourth round the realization sank in that there are five more rounds to go. Of all the sessions we've seen lately, none has required more focus on "the here and now" than 'Ship'.

'Ship' might be the session of the summer... so far at least. Good job EVERYONE for showing up and getting this workout in the book. We needed some serious fuel and you guys delivered. At prescription, this workout is a monster. At any scale, not much better. But that's why we do it.

Great workout Todd, and Lynde. You two had the heavy Cleans, and killed it. Way to hang tough Cliff, and Holley. This brought out the "never quit" attitude you both possess, and what we all need to have as CrossFitters. Thanks for that.

The puppies are still doing great. Airsquat- LOCKED DOWN. Thanks for your hard work. Remember to DO YOUR HOMEWORK!

This workout is named in honor of Canadian Forces Sergeant Prescott Shipway, assigned to the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, who was killed on September 7, 2008 in the Kandahar province, Afghanistan.

Great work everyone. This was a fun format, a little like a jelly donut. We worked our way to the middle, only the filling wasn't jam, it was PAIN! Then we had to work our way back out to the other end. Fun stuff.

Super fast time Patricia. You are a beast! We are fortunate to have you around every now and then. You drip intensity. CASEY!- You got your muscle-ups! HOOF*CKINYAH! Argh.... Thanks for your patience Dave. Just one more day, and we'll know for sure.

The Front squat is like the middle sibling, with his brothers Overhead, and Back. He could be called Goldilocks because a near perfect rack is required, along with a solid base, and ultra tight core. Any of those off a bit, and DUMP! You've lost the lift.

Great workout EVERYONE! Super fast Patricia, Casey, Todd, and Lynde. Welcome to CFSF Candice, Andrea, Josh, Matt, Nanook, and Nicole. Now you've met 'Fran'. We hope you like her as much as we do.

What is it about 'Fran' that makes her so devastating? The combination is ultra potent. The rep scheme can be difficult, she's a mean girl with a hairy back. She'll punch you in the nose, and she sucks the air out of my lungs every time we meet. It's great.

'Elizabeth', 'Isabel', and 'Fran'. All in a row. Brings back memories of  "Ladies Week" we had a couple of years ago. Imagine getting these workouts together, with anywhere from 10:00-15:00 minutes recovery time between workouts. That puts things into perspective. These people are fit!

Thursday is rest day, not an off day. Get some mobs, ICE, stretch your quads. Do anything that helps you recover. Thanks for the wicked strong efforts from EVERYBODY. 'Fran' got what fer today.

Good work everyone. Teresa found some previously unknown source of power and tapped into it. 2:00 is super fast. Great job Teresa! Also great job Casey, and Cliff- at prescription. Nice work Candice, Nicole, and Ryan. You are all snatching!

We talked about patience, and explosiveness before the wod began. Good job paying attention to those cues. Early pulls destroy power. The Snatch has a beautiful aesthetic value, and when it's on, it's on. You feel it. Unfortunately, when it's off, it's off. Fall back to the Burgener. Grab a stick and get a few cycles. You'll be dialed in again before you know it.

True story... I asked Bradley, visiting from Alaska, to show me his Snatch last night. He said he wasn't that comfortable with me yet. Good work Bradley. You are a CrossFitter.

The men's final consisted of three CF classics in one session. Elizabeth, Isabel, then Fran. Luckily, we get them individually.

'Elizabeth'
21, 15, 9 reps:
135/95 pound Power clean
Ring dips (*ring prog.)

Lynde- Rx  10:49

Holley- 45  5:38
Nicole- 35  6:06
Cliff- 135  5:40
T- Rx  9:12

For this session to be recorded as prescribed, all Cleans had to be at 135, and all the dips had to be on the rings. No designation means bar dips were performed. Some people got the prescribed load but not the ring dips. Some people got the ring dips but not the prescribed load. Either way, we got nailed.

Super fast times Cliff, Holley, Nicole, Richard, Shaun, and Todd. Way to hang tough on this one Brad, Brandi, James, and Lynde. Wicked good ring dips too Lynde... Thanks Nanook. The ring dip progression you showed us is a winner!

There were a few things we talked about wanting to see... Patience through triple extension and shrug, super fast flips under with hands opening up as we receive the bar, and a properly placed rack. Good job on hitting MOST of that. It's hard not to rush as we work, but we have got to remain completely aware of the cues we have learned and practiced. Rushing throws efficiency out the window, and invites injury through the front door.

CrossFit Games 2012 - Mens Obstacle Course

120714

This might be one of the most interesting workouts we've seen lately. A rope climber's dream come true.

185 pound Clean and jerk, 10 reps
100 yard sprint
20' rope climb, 7 ascents (*3:1 sub)
100 yard sprint
185 pound Clean and jerk, 1 rep

Holley- 45*  6:53
Nicole- 35*  6:55
Shar- 65*  7:09
Kathryn- 75  9:09

James- 115*  10:28
Scott- 145*  8:45
Matt- 85*  6:22
T- 135  10:28

That extra 5 foot climb took a toll on us. Bad news is we still needed two feet. That I beam is just over 18 feet off the ground... No worries, we'll take it any way we can get it.

Good job getting this one booked. That last Clean and jerk was almost as interesting as the second 100 yard run. Who comes up with these distances? They are spot on Goldilocks- just right.

Sunday might be the most well deserved rest day in a while. Super fun stuff. Use your time wisely. Address that tight PC, maybe some ICE on anything sore. Ask for a massage :-)

This was a tough cycle, but it was also a great cycle. We had some great efforts, super fast times, heavy lifts, and a good time getting it done. Thanks for that.

This was another great CrossFit Games workout that only two people at CFSF got at prescription. We love having options, but great job Cliff, and Casey. Since this workout had been compared to 'Helen', she was Option 1. Just for fun, we threw in a Power snatch sub for the swing and called in 'Snellen' as Option 2.

Great workout everyone. Super strong Cleans IceBeast, and Shaun. Monster deadlifts James, Sharon, Tammy, Todd, and Josh. Three *PR's: Em, Kathryn, and Teresa- HOOF*CKINYAH! The FNG's KILLED IT last night too... Outstanding. Welcome to CFSF! There were also a few puppies working on the deadlift set-up, and first pull. Great job you guys- Nicole, Andrea, you're building a solid foundation for a strong CF career.

Kathryn also knocked out a cool 103 double unders in 2:00 for another *PR after killing the wod. Two in one day. Excellent!

This workout stretched our resources, and required a lot of help getting bars set up, loaded and unloaded as quickly as possible before the :30 expired. Thanks for your patience during the heats, and big THANKS to everyone for helping. That has to be one of the most special things about CFSF- everybody helped out. Good stuff.

This was another super fun workout. Thanks CFHQ. We love climbing that rope. It's also funny to see the expressions on the faces of the driver's as they drive by watching girls climb ropes. Congratulations to the folks who are getting all their rope climbs sans sub.

Great workout everyone. If you aren't practicing rope climbs, or at least swinging around on them, start. Learn to brake, and never forget the most important part about rope climbing- leave enough energy to get back down. We saw a few different methods for climbing and coming back down. Find what works best for you and get some practice.

Good job on getting those airsquats locked down. You know who you are, and your hard work is evident. HOOYAH!  Be pleased, not satisfied. Tienamos mucho mas.

Wednesday is a rest day. Use your time wisely. Take some time and find something that needs attention. ICE, rest, recover.

Great job everyone. Serious lifts. That's a cool 165 reps on another hot summer day- but who's counting? We did not time this one, there would have been too much transition time waiting for a bar to open up. No worries, but thanks for your patience.

'Linda' is another Mark Rippetoe contribution to CrossFit and she's a winner. The descending rep scheme keeps it fun too. Welcome to CFSF Lindsey, and Josh. We hope you enjoy your stay with us in the CFSF easy bake oven. We can thank mother nature for helping to toughen us up.

Great runs everyone. Total time to completion was recorded, some people kept their splits as well. One of the goals of this session is to run consistently. We were looking for no more than a 5-10 second variance from the first through the last run.

Find a few mobs for that tight PC.

Thanks for all the terrific efforts and great fuel. Thanks for another great day at CFSF.

Great job everyone.  This was a deceivingly difficult workout that destroyed our abs. We loved it. Thanks CFHQ.  Some people got away with reverse crunchers, and light med balls. No penalty this time...

Rest, ICE, recover. Then work hard again.

With the crawl, walk, run model CrossFit presents, mastery of the airsquat is required before any real attempts at overhead squatting take place. Lack of flexibility, strength, and the confidence to get under, and get low are all contributory factors. Great airsquats lead to good overhead squats.

Great squats everyone. If you were locking down the airsquat instead of going overhead, be patient and do your homework. Tight hams? Good luck keeping hips where they need to be while you're in the hole. Sticky shoulders? Maintaining an active overhead position will be even more difficult than it already is. Everything counts. A little bit every day, and hit the wall periodically. You have to work for it. Quality over quantity.

We had a bunch of new people and visitors drop by CFSF. Drink the kool-aid. Come back.

Thanks for another great day at CFSF.

Don't wish it was easier. Wish you were better.

Great workout everyone. This was a gasser of the first order, and consumed copious amounts of fuel from us. Did you get anything unbroken? Not impossible. DOable. That might be a chief design motivator for the 'chipper' style workout. To see just how many reps you can do unbroken...

Welcome to CFSF Ryan. Drink the kool-aid, and do your homework. Really good job Nicole, and Forrest. Thanks for your hard work and great fuel.

Tuesday is a rest day, and CFSF will be closed for the 4th of July. Thursday, July 5th is the next training day. Use this time to get in some extra mobility. Everything counts.

Thanks for another great day at CFSF. Thanks for all the great fuel and great efforts. If a bad day at CFSF were possible, it would still completely dominate a great day anywhere else. Thanks for that.

Brenton might be one of the most deceivingly difficult sessions we've seen in a while. Bear crawling and broad jumping turns out to be super potent. We had a blast doing it. Good job showing up on the hottest day of the year, so far...

Great job everyone. Good workout Nicole and Forrest. You two are doing really well, getting used to the CFSF tempo. Lynde, Todd, outstanding.

This session is named in honor of Timothy Brenton, Field Training Officer, Seattle P.D.  Brenton was killed October 31, 2009 in a drive-by shooting.

Thanks for another great day at CFSF.

Better than yesterday.
