  1. I can go to my gymnastics club so I can do rope climb but no GHD (I may be able to jimmy rig something together) OR I can go to CrossFit and use GDH and no rope... which is better to do?

  2. Part A: 24:48 with strict towel chin-ups

    Biceps are pumped... should head out to the club or something.

    same issue with GHD situps. I was able to do the first round and the next 10 of the second round with full range...then the stabbing in my lower back started so I only went to slightly below parallel for the rest of the reps for the rest of the rounds.

    good news is I got a lot further with the full range GHD's this time than normal.

  7. Hmm I'm having some computer troubles... hopefully this isn't a double post.

    I'm about to do part B of today... did yesterdays strength wod and today's part A an hour ago.

    I haven't got the strength today to do 5 rounds of 7 muscle ups. any idea for substitute(s) that doesn't include 3:1 chin ups? I've done chin ups in 2 out of 4 wods in 2 days, so I was thinking of avoiding those.

    what about:
    5 rounds for time;
    10 ring dips
    21 push up burpees
    50 back extensions

  8. Just leaving work after a 49 hour shift and heading directly to Red Deer for my sisters graduation. Was thinking I'll do 150 Burbee for time between the cerimony and supper. We'll see how it goes.

  10. Today I did the Southwest Regionals "9 of Spades" WOD to work on high power output and box jumps.

    21,15,9
    Box Jumps 24"
    KB Swing 1.5 pd
    SDLHP 95lb
    Time-4:38

    Good for maybe 11th place for the WOD at the qualifiers. Hi-Pulls got tough, jumps were pretty good.

  11. @OPT @ noon after Mike & Steve
    10:47
    felt slow on GHDs

  12. Gym closed yesterday. Did yesterday's workout as well today.

    A. PS/SB/OHS: 40 kg (89#), 50 kg (111#), 50 kg
    B. DL 55 % of 1RM (estimated 130 kg): 72,5 kg (161#)(round up due to weight plates) - felt light even in 8th set.
    C. Press: 42,5 kg (95#)

    rest 15 min

    Part A: 17:50
    strict towel chin-ups

    rest 4:30 hrs


    Altered "Ryan":
    5 rounds for time:
    10 ring dips
    21 push up burpees

    time: 13:10

    No more strength for muscle-ups (or more chin-ups for that matter), thus substituted ring dips. Ring dips singles by 2nd round.


    Good luck to participants this weekend!

  13. Part 1 - 9:36
    Rope climbs... man these were harder with my shoes on. Still used to climbing the rope in bare feet. Created a home made GHD for the situps, which worked well... the only down fall was that I couldn't activiate my legs so they were pretty slow and strict.

    Part 2 - 15:08
    That sucked! My shoulders are done! After the 7 muscle ups I was glad to get onto the burpees... then a couple in I wish I was on muscle ups again.

  14. 41:55 total. Weaknesses exposed.

    A:10:40 as rx'd
    B:31:15

    Felt like I was pacing part A in anticipation of part B. Did an extra rope climb on round two. Made a video but have to wait till I get home and modify it on the mac in order to upload to youtube.
    all muscle-up's done one at a time strict form, and all burpees jumps to tape mark on the wall. Painfully slow, but first time doing 45 mu's in a day. After the qualifier I am determined to stress form criteria.

  15. I was short on time today, heading out of here on vacation. Grouped the two into one workout as follows:

    Part 2: 16:50 (1:42/3:10/3:57/4:14/3:47)
    10 Min Rest
    Part 1: 5:09 (100 GHD situps for time)

    This was my first Ryan, so I'm not sure how that performance was. I felt like I pushed the MU's as fast as I could in order to hit complete singles. PUB's were consistent.

    Nice job Action! Us tall guys have to move that weight a long way. I've got all 3 of my qualifer workouts uploading now. I'll update everyone when they are complete.

  17. Part A: 20:24 No ropes to climb so did towel pull-ups, I think rope climbs would have been way faster, especially if feet allowed.

    Part B: 27:12 The muscle-ups were way harder than the last time I did them in a workout. The pulls were fairly easy, but it was a struggle to get to full extension at the top.

    Total: 47:36

  18. Did a CFC Affiliate Team WOD today; 720 squats for time (3 sets of 40 consecutive each, 1 member goes at a time) and, unfortunately, I forget our time. Somewhere in the 11 min mark?

    Part II after 7 min rest was 4 of us did 30 rounds for time of;

    1 MU (Laura)
    1 315lb DL (Rob)
    3 CTB Pull-Ups (Michelle)
    3 HSPU (Me)
    No one could move until the person before you finished their rep(s) completely. Time was 11:11, we rocked it good! The 2 extra members did a different WC-syle WOD.

    Good job today, team!

  21. Garage crossfit or anyone else competeting this weekend that wants a heads up on the first WOD, find me after heat 4, the first mens heat. I'll be more than willing to share my thoughts on the WOD and how I think to best go about it. I'll be number 233.

    and 40 sit ups for the GHD
    20:13

    jumping ring dips for muscles up.
