Really wanted to be sub 5min, but a couple of trips during my first round of DU's and a few breaks during the sit-ups just didn't allow it to happen today.
5:14 I felt okay, but just didn't have the zip to beat my PR of 4:55. Missed 1 Du in rds of 50 & 40, anchored sit ups, strait thru. Under 4:50 is my next goal.
5:31, PB is 5:23. Anchored the feet today, those felt better but missed a good 4-5 times on the doubles so that sunk me. D'oh. Jumped the 60" box a few times after for the first time so that was cool.
6:54... 2 seconds slower than Oct 6, but I know that the situp standards were raised today. I used to just touch the dumbells with finger tips, but this time I made sure to slap the opposite side of the dumbell on each rep.
40, 20 and 10 were unbroken for doubles.
Now I just gotta get faster at those situps. Although I can't imagine cutting 1:40 off my time.... you guys must look like hummingbirds.
Brent - I saw a video on crossfit or crossfit journal a while ago that had Rip going through the set up. I'll have a look and if I find it I post where I found it.
I found it- on the crossfit main site go under demo's, look under powerlifts, there are a couple good ones, but the one I think is best is the deadlift set by Rip
I raised my personal standard on the situps. Touched the "toe side" of the dbs every rep rather than the heels of my shoes... this ensured that I came up to perpendicular every rep.
6:05 -only 1 miss on double unders -situps anchored but painfully slow after first round. -Cardio was great and doubles smooth but for some reason stomach fatigued easy today.. pr is 5:25

Maybe next time.
terrible at double unders...
i'l practice them prior to the WOD, can I sub in something else for the actual workout?
should I just do this one from crossfit calgary
As many rounds in 20 minutes:
5 clapping push-ups
10 Sit-ups
15 Squats
Sean G
If you are having trouble with DUs, don't sub or switch WODs. This is a perfect time to practise what you are weak at. This is how you improve.
5:08 (huge PR)
previous PR was 6:44 on 12/10.
Sean G: I agree with rwcorson do the workout and get better at the skill.
l6:34
I mean 6:34
Hey guys, is there a video or .pdf of Rip discussing the new deadlift technique discussed yesterday?
Did Nate today.
13 Rounds
Catching up because I was in the field.
ok...talk to Mike at work and did as followed...
practiced double unders(did max reps in 5 continous minutes)
then did the WOD as follows...
18 inch box jump
unanchored sit-ups (got all reps but super slow)
9:56
feel pretty good about it, need some work on the speed of movement for the sit-ups
5:27 PR
I kept the same format in old PR of Ab-Mat anchored sit-ups.
Sweeny and PTS my hats off to you guys, well done!!

Oh and I did Nate yesterday but I actually posted it on that day.
Wink wink.

6:43 as rx'd (PR) - Was hoping for much better. Sit ups need work...
6:07
Sits up came to a grinding halt in the 30 rd. No misses on DU's
9:23
-My first sub 10 min Annie. I'm actually pretty happy with this.

Impressive times guys,
Geoff- 60 incher! Congrats!
5:41, could have been a little quicker on the sit ups
BSO,
I'm curious, what do you think is. different about the sit up standard today? I thought this is the standard.
Time: 7:25 (unanchored) *PR*
Last PR: 8:20 (anchored 12/10/08)
First PR: 20:37 (6/10/06)
Double unders are getting much better. With Anchored situps, I think I could have beat 7 minutes.
Thanks Gord.
Time =6:28
