Randy Was a Blur

Rest Day!

Please feel free to comment on how your fitness has been improving (or not) over the last year. 

As we have lost equipment and space, but gained numbers, it has been increasingly difficult to offer the variety that we used to and for that...i am sorry. 

A little less variety isn't all bad, however, if we keep our sight on the real goal of CrossFit - Improved fitness! 

Improved fitness is defined as "increased work capacity over broad time and modal domains" ... is this happening or not happening for you??

Our prescription will remain "constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity", but our goal of improving fitness is what's MOST important...

So CFM?  How's your fitness? 

I'm looking for feedback...cherry pickers need not apply :-p

Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you've got a twenty pound vest or body armor, wear it.

Some of you may find it interesting that Lt Murphy's cousin is married to one of the members of the 488IS and i was deployed when this happened and i flew several missions looking for the sole survivor of the mission...also, "Murph" was one of the first CrossFit workout i ever attempted...and failed to complete...it seems 100 years ago.Happy Memorial Day, I'll be home in about 10 days.  Post time to comments.

"Chelsea"

Set up before a clock, and every minute on the minute perform 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 15 squats. Can you continue for thirty minutes? Twenty minutes? How about 10?

Post results to comments.

If you fall behind the clock keep going for thirty minutes and see how many rounds you can complete.

If you've finished the workout before this time add +1 to each exercise, i.e., 6 pull-ups, 11 push-ups, and 16 squats each minute, and see if you can go the full thirty minutes.

ME Thruster

Work up to your 1RM thruster and complete at least four single rep sets at 90% or more of that 1RM.

Followed by -

In groups of two or three perform three rounds of the following with only one person working at a time.

50 Knees to Elbows (75 if three person team)
50 Ring Dips (75 if three person team)
50 Toes to Bar (75 if three person team)

One person reps, while the other person counts.  Break it up however you want and you do not have to evenly divide the reps...that's up to the team.  If i was partnered with Paul, for instance, i would hold the clip board and count his reps and then take credit for the team score.

Post weights and times to comments...check our FB site for meeting time.

WOD - 20110521

Partner WOD

Pick a partner and complete the following -

Run 400m/75 Push Ups
Run 400m/75 Push Ups

Run 400m/75 Squats
Run 400m/75 Squats

Run 400m/75 Double Unders
Run 400m/75 Double Unders

Run 400m
Run 400m

One person runs while the partner performs the other movement.  When the runner gets back, for each rep short of 50, both athletes perform one burpee penalty.  Then the next person runs, but only after all the burpees are complete.  The final run is both running at the same time, but the team time will be only the slower runner's time.

Questions?  i'll try to answer them by 0800 UK time if you post them between now and then.

Good luck...post team time to comments.

Rest day!

I'm at the airport in Athens so no pictures, but today marks one year from the first WOD I posted for CFM. I would like to say thanks to everyone that's been a part of this crazy ride. As I read the comments today for "murph", all I could think of is how many of us would ever have dreamed of being able to complete such a workout before CrossFit. I'm proud of all of you, thanks for being part of the team!
