An experiment

Recently, some people have been taking a long time to complete the warm-up. It’s only 10 reps of each exercise for 3 rounds. So, as an experiment, let’s see how many rounds you can do in 10 minutes when it’s the workout of the day.

AMRAP in 10min of:
10 Overhead Squat (stick)
10 Good Mornings
10 Pullups
10 Pushups
10 Knees to Elbows

*Reminder of the stretching session tonight at 7:30pm

Sonya's preparing for the snowstorm that's coming

  1. hey Kevin!! 🙂

    weird you posted this workout cause I was going to ask
    you to send me the warm up by email!!

    do you have a copy of the advance warm up you can email me?

    After almost 2 months off, today and yesterday at the gym were a bit brutal..
    3 push ups in a row.. then break.

    It’s easy to fall off the waggon!! I’m happy to be signed up in a gym again.

    This is the perfect workout for me tomorrow!! 😀

  2. actually, what could I do tomorrow instead of pull ups and knees to elbows?

    i can do a few pull ups and knees to elbows, but the machine i can use, the bar is coated with a plastic vinyl kinda thing, and i dont have chalk yet.

  3. Hey Kevin, Can you please cancel me for tomorrow at 4:15. This is the first time I have cancelled so Im not sure how to unschedule on the calendar or if I have too. Thanks.

  4. First time going in at 6am, wakes you up!!

  5. Well, you guys are boring today!

    Nobody is excited about doing the Warm-up in a 10min AMRAP??

    I know I am excited about it! 😉

  6. Well i didn’t do this WOD but doubled on yesterday’s and CF Total.

    Mobility plus some HSPU’s and DU’s.
    CF Total:
    Deadlift: 235, 255, 275, 295(pr by 30!) 275 felt good so I tried for 295 – alittle ugly but I got it up and didn’t hurt myself
    Shoulder press: 95, 105, 115 120 (PR by 5) finally got 120!!! at last!
    Backsquat: 185, 205, 225, 245(PR by 40) felt pretty good!

    Total : 660! that’s a 105 lbs increase since almost 2 months ago I think.

    Then WOD:
    50 wall ball (12 – heaviest ball there 🙁
    40 DU’s
    30 KBS (45)
    20 Overhead lunges (45)

    Strength – Back Squat (5s)

    At the 185 Kevin told me to spread the feet wider and my hips were tight, so I just dropped some weight to stretch out. 225 felt easy, but the warm up was ending so I just added 5 more to get the WOD in.

    WOD – AMRAP in 10 mins of CFWU
    4 rounds plus 7 pull ups. I was pacing for 5 rounds with tonnes of time to spare until I just DIED on pullups. Will need to work on these!

    Looked at the bulletin board for the info from Crossfit Seattle. Seeing the Black/IV/Elite levels was very motivational. I’m off the standard, by a long shot in most cases, but it will be fun to see how long it will take to check off a few of the items! 🙂

  10. Funny.. I was thinking about doing the same thing… as it seems I have the same problem with my members. 15 mintues after and they only have one round in. A lot of talking, not anough pulling
