I first started Crossfit when my brother got back from deployment and told me about this workout site him and his buddies would do when they were sent all over the place, this must have been 2009 or '10 (i tried to look up but the leaderboard doesn't even go back that far anymore). anyway we did soley mainsite wods at globo gyms and later video submitted our open scores we were hooked. Many years later I've done lots of fitness since then but last week i was feeling nostalgic and wanted the oldschool feel of the .com so i logged in to see if y'all were still there and sure enough there you all were. this was my first solid week doin mainsite wods the feeling i get doin wods with basically anonymous people from around the world knowing we are in this together is a beautiful thing, thank you community. And thank you to Crossfit for keeping the mainsite wods up! these workouts continue to be simple beautiful brutal and elegant. to paraphrase 'one of the three ways to find meaning in life, is to have the right attitude in suffering' - Viktor Frankle, Mans search for meaning.

Terrible air quality again today…not good for Cindy. Did 6 sets of 10 strict chin-ups E4-5m, then 6-7 sets of 20 slow air squats 2” short of lockout and heels elevated on a 10lb crumb bumper with about 2m rests. Holy quads!

A couple English muffins for breakfast.

First attempt since surgery 2.5 years ago.

Previous best was 13 rounds. Very happy with that. Have only been able to do pullups without weight assistance and without too much pain for a little over 3 months.

Can't remember if that's 15 reps or 2 rds + 15 reps shy of PR. Probably could have pushed for it but wasn't really minding my time all that well. I just wanted to hit more than what I did Saturday - 17 rds slow coming off my week off.

This was my very first WOD back in 2007. I finished 9 rounds then. My PR is 23 strict. Today I finished 22+12 strict and I couldn't be happier. Maybe next time I'll get 23 and some change. I have done this WOD dozens of times in the past 15 years and have always respected Cindy for being the spark that lit a fire under my ass and made me fall in love with CrossFit. Thanks Glassman and all for everything.

Globo wod: As Rxed for most of you. Hog a space near a pullup bar and get at it. If for some reason you don't have a pullup bar today sub either inverted rows on rings or a railing, or a barbell in a rack, or heavy dumbbell rows as a last resort. If you can't kip on your globos bar or are using a door gym do strict Cindy today.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

A test to see how much of an endurance dose gymnastics can give you. Squatting, pushing at midrange, pulling with skill.


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT x


MEDIUM


HEAVY


ENDURANCE SCALE

Drop the pull-up and push-up numbers so you can do them unbroken through at least 12 minutes. Also cut ROM on pull-ups if you don't have full ones


STRENGTH SCALE

Strict pull-ups, strict push-ups, lower than usual squats


STAMINA SCALE

Unbroken on everything, even if it means resting between exercises


MY STUFF

30 rounds on the dot as rx'd. I'd consider this a pr. Really happy and surprised. I did 30 + 5 as a junior in high school (sept. 06) but I don't think the squats were standing up all the way. But butterfly pull-ups didn't exist then either so...

Commented on: The Kipping Pull-Up

If you cannot do five consecutive strict muscle-ups, learning to kip is counterproductive. As an historical aside, I'd deemphasize the kipping pull-up were we to do things again.

Greg Glassman
January 6th, 2020 at 4:38 pm

Basically, that is correct, Jade. The kipping pull-up is an ineluctable consequence of high rep strict pull-ups. Before an athlete gets to 40 pull-ups the kip arises spontaneously. It doesn't need to be taught and perhaps should not be.


My thoughts on the "kipping" HSPU can be found here:

Thanks Coach (CrossFit has changed my life). Is this because of risk of injury or just wrong trajectory for progression. I always liked the kipping pull up because it allowed me to get much more volume and i figure it builds coordination, strength and flexibility amongst a bunch of muscle groups big and small. Full disclosure: i can't do 5 strict MUs and probably never will. JonNYC (XF since 2008).

I had similar problems awhile back. I did alot of work with bands. Clamshells. Lateral shuffle. Banded squats (slow squat, concentrate on pushing the knees out). Worked pretty well for me, but I'm not PT or other expert by any means.

I would definitely see your doctor about it. No sense making a bad problem worse. I'm guessing he will recommend seeing a physiotherapist. Mine did amazing things for my shoulder.

Try creating ground tension backwards while lowering into your squat. MeatHeadMonk on ig if you need help understand what that means.
