Been in the athletes program for about 3 weeks now. Lost 11 lbs which is great news. Our WOD's are about a week behind since we did J.T.'s yesterday. My chest is friggin cooked today.

Did Diane today. I DLed 115 lbs because I'm particularly bad at keeping my form in DLs. Time was 10:14.
Am having some shoulder pain though. Derp. Started yesterday I think. Most noticeable when it's resting, which is odd, and when shifting gears (right shoulder). Just sort of a pinging at the top corner of my shoulder. Do not want. |

Today for me is Lynne:
"Lynne" Five rounds for max reps of: Body weight bench press Pull-ups I'm shooting for five rounds In all honesty I shoot for about 10 bench each round and 20 down to 14 pullups per round. |

Thanks
and yup. Not sure what's going on I think I'm under eating these past few weeks, squats and deads are giving me hell. I think I'm not going to lift a lbs all of next week and see if I can get back on the horse. Last edited by EnterTheDragon; 04-15-2011 at 05:38 PM. |

Yep, rest and nutrition would definitely be a cause.

I did 10 rounds of 10 push up sit ups burpees @ 3:36. Getting my feet wet. Also going off limited workout knowledge. What's the best site for workouts and is there a progression of which ones beginners should follow?

There's an endless source of workouts you can do. The mainsite http://crossfit.com/ still posts up the 'official' daily wod and has links to exercise demos that can be very helpful as well as lots of other stuff.
Many affiliate gyms do their own programming independent of the mainsite and lots of athletes pick one or two of them that post their daily wods to follow and do those workouts. Ours is http://www.crossfithardcore.com/ and we have one or two out of towners that do our workouts and post on the blog about it, it's kind of cool. As far as some being better for beginners it doesn't really work that way. All the workouts are meant to be challenging. But they can all be scaled for beginners. A 250 lb 45 year old housewife can be working out right next to a 22 year old 165 lb firebreather. So check out a wod and figure out how you can scale it for your ability or available equipment. On the forums of the mainsite I think there's also some discussion of scaling options. I'm just now after 7.5 months at the point where I'm doing the workouts as prescribed (Rx) just about all the time. For instance, todays workout for our gym was: 1 round 1 mile run 20 wallballs (20lb ball 10ft target) 20 overhead lunges (with a 25lb plate) 20 pushups 1 mile run So you could do 800m runs instead, or a lighter medicine ball, a lower wallball target, a lighter plate (or no weight) for the OH lunges, even less reps of each exercise. There's a lot of ways to scale. If you realize a particular exercise is lighting up your shoulder, then sub it out with something else. |

That's about what I'm doing now. I'm still lifting Rehabing my shoulder but would rather transition to more of a CF type workout on a regular basis. I think it will benefit my rball game more too.
Thanks for the info. We have a local firebreather gym but I have enough room and equipment at my office I can do most of everything there. Edit: I try some hand stand pushups tonite too. |

Any CF for couples out there? My wife is wanting to try it out and I'm gonna setup a couple basic workouts but need some ideas. I don't/won't have access to weights or bells yet, hence this will be in my rehab room(s). I have treadmills, stair master, roman chair, heavy bag, and some basic workout machines like leg ext/curl, bicep/tricep, ab/back extension, as well as swiss balls and plenty of bands and wall anchors.

Specifically: http://www.crossfitbrandx.com/index..../viewforum/16/ they will have scaled workouts for every level. None of your basic workout machines will be incorporated into the workouts...unless you just make them. Buy a few kettlebells from a local "Play it again" place or Target. Get a decent set of dumbbells ranging from 10 to 45lbs if possible. Add a jump rope. Get a "doorway pullup bar" if you have to. That should do it for quite a bit of things. Look over Crossfit.com's recent WODs for ideas on what equipment you might need. www.beyondthewhiteboard.com is what I use to track my workouts...for $3/month. There's also www.noscrolls.com if you want free but not as frilly. |

I see some of these WOD's are timed events. Some of them take less than 10mins. Besides a warm up should I be concerned with duration of a workout? I fell like an intense 10min workout isn't enough.

For workouts like Fran for example...you might warm up for 20 minutes or more prior to it, with things like a 1/2 mile run, squats, OH presses, a few pullups, etc. Read the FAQs on the site too...they explain what you are asking as well. For instance: Quote:
