Big Lift!
Tuesday, March 9, 2010 at 8:35AM ;)
The crew of the noon class after a tough WoD!
Why is that people who put themselves through rigours in any field/job/gym are happier & achieve more? Is that because by putting half assed effort you can't get anywhere? CrossFit fits beautifully in that theory.
Front Squat + Split Jerk 1-1-1-1-1, then
With a continuously running clock do one Burpee on the first minute, 2 Burpees on the 2nd minute, 3 on the 3rd... Continue as long as possible. Score is the number of minutes fully completed plus the number of burpees from the incomplete set.
Post loads & scores to comments.
Sean's Big Lift (turn the volume down if kids are around - due to my explicit misbelief of such feat)

Any one see the main sight wod. Thought this was a cool video some one posted.
http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/CrossFit_CFSFPlaysOHStrength.mov
that wod is insane! For anyone who has no idea:
Five rounds for time of:
15 foot L-rope climb, 1 ascent
5 Parallette handstand push-ups
10 Overhead one-legged squats, 45 pound barbell
For the rope climb, begin seated on the ground. For the handstand push-ups, the ears should dip below hand level. For the one-legged squats, alternate legs.
I'll try the HSPU tomorrow & if I can do them - I'll do that entire wod for "fun" next week. The rest I've done - won't be pretty but I'll be able to do it.
umm yea I just saw that WOD too - I have a feeling the games are going to be ridic this year with these WODs they've been coming up with lately...
Video from the Arnold Classic makes me sooo jealous! lol
Nice lift Sean!
All the movement standards were posted for the Sectionals:
Standards Video
Congrats on the lift Sean!
Big Sean with the nasty lift - is that the Dr. in the background swearing???
Front Squat - Split Jerk : 95/1, 135/1, 175/1, 185/1 (f) - really frustrated by this, on Saturdays I do 3 sets of 5 presses with 135 and I can only split jerk 175, WTF :(
Death by Burpees : 13 rounds + 12 (I think, somewhere between 10-12 on the last round, I don't remeber, I blacked out)
Scott - that's me spilling disbelief!
I watched it last night and could not stop laughing at Leo's reaction. It's taken over a year to get that lift! I pulled out my handy dandy Crossfit Seattle Standards to check that off. Lot's of work to do to go from Level 1 "well rounded" to Level 2 "intermediate". It's a grind...
I am watching the standards video... I have "Fran" butterflies!
BTW - Thanks Roxanne it was John's fault. I am always dumb enough to take the "meathead" bait and I typically come up short (see yesterday's WOD). John said it's only 10% more, Leo provided the negative reinforcement and the rest is in the video.
Next up: MU + HSPU + Pistol = RX.
Rolling burpee
Control the bar standard has Ramzi all over it.
Looks like no muscle ups or snatching this weekend. Rolling burpees look kinda silly though.
There's "distractors" in the video - movements that won't be in the actual event!
Congrats Sean!
