The following is the chipper from the Georgia Sectional qualifier for the 2010 CF Games. It had a 17:00 time cap and some very strict movement standards.

40 Wall ball, 20#/14#, 10' target
30 Pullups

100' overhead lunge, 45# DB

Tough, but fun.

swings - all the way overhead.
jumps - hips fully open, step or jump down allowed.
wallballs - squat below parallel, ball must a.) be completely over the 10' line and b.) must hit the wall above that line.
pullups - Adam's apple even with or higher than the bar.
situps - both hands touch ground, both hands touch feet.
snatch - power or full, no pressout allowed, there was a second judge for pressout. muscle snatch not recommended.

Have a great weekend folks!  Rest up and be ready to train hard again next week.

'Helen'

3 rounds for time:
400m run

Typical scalings include:
A: Use a lighter Kettlebell

Helen is deceptively tough, but you can rest comfortably in knowledge that it's not 'Eva'

Pushing and pulling

5RFT

5 HSPU (or progressions)

5 DL + 20# round.

ok, this one is kind of different. I think the intent is to be somewhere near a 80-90% of your 5RM for the last set of deadlifts.

Handstand Pushup Progressions

As usual, We're going to refer you to Rip vids for DL.  If you haven't bought Starting Strength yet, you are doing yourself a disservice.

If you haven't already, please take a look at all the DL instruction available on the Main page.

Pullup 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Burpee 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10

--------

note: when you start to develop callouses on your hands, it is important that you manage them!

First, keep your calluses thin and trim by using a pumice stone in the shower at the end of EVERY shower on your calluses. It just takes 30 seconds and will keep them in good shape. Second, keep your hands chalked during workouts like this that include lots of pullups. Even this kind of prevention doesn't always work and tears do happen - especially as you are in the development phase of getting your kipping pullups established  However, a happy medium exists.  There is such a thing as too much chalk. It takes time to determine what the right amount of chalk is for each athlete.  I personally prefer a thin layer on my hands and a thin layer on the bar.  Find what works for you.

For those of you that have long drives, you may benefit from keeping some 100 grit sandpaper in the car and working on callouses while you are stuck in traffic on US98 or US85.

I strongly suggest reading through the main CrossFit website message boards for discussions on callus care and first aid.
My personal method of first aid that has worked for me is as follows:
- Do what you need to to get through the workout or stop and call it good when a nasty tear develops.
- After you've come down from the workout or when you get home, rinse the tear under cold water for a minute or two to clean and numb the area. Take a shaker of regular table salt and pour it on to the open wound. Yes - it hurts alot so don't skip the numbing step.
- Apply pressure and leave it in place for a minute. Rinse and repeat. Rinse clean and trim the dead skin as closely to the remaining healthy skin as possible. Rinse and let it dry thoroughly. Once dry, apply a liberal dose of triple antibiotic cream (Neosporin) and cover with a bandaid.
- Allow it to get some air a few times throughout the first couple days but sleep with liberal dose of triple antibiotic ointment and bandaid at night.
 
Yay Burpees! PDF Print E-mail

For those of you who have meetings right before class, the "10 burpees for being late" rule has been repealed.  We would rather see you come a few a minutes late and get in a workout than to not come at all.

CrossFitting consistently can and will change your life.  See you for the wod!

"Ground & Pound"

21-15-9
Thruster (95/65)
Burpee
then immediately
30 DL @ 225/155

This was WOD #4 at the Georgia Sectional Qualifiers.  There was a 12:00 time cap for men and 15:00 for women.  Scale wisely and have a plan for the entire workout.   The fastest time for the men was 6:30 and the fastest time for women was 7:11.

This one will wreck you, but you'll be a better person for having done it.

scaling options given in class.
