Try and watch WOD 11.2 standards at the Games Site to fully see and understand the standards. There are some key items to be aware of. We will fully explain, but the videos and demonstrations are articulated well by Tony Budding. The link is below.

Start getting mentally ready. CFHSV in the fight!

Here is the link to the written standards and grade sheet if you like. The video is much better than the written product.

"Abbate"
28:13
Scaled to 95 pound Squat Clean & Jerks. First mile split was at 6:00 and probably ran 100m too far after missing the turnaround in the dark. Lucky for me Tye yelled out or else I probably would have ran to Drake.

WOD 11.2 9+19. The push up standard is very clear, so be prepared to NOT "flop and peel" AT ALL.

I will hit this wod again at full speed. :)

I felt a little sick when I saw 24" box on the open workout, but it's 20" for women! I'm psyched!! Let's do this CFHSV!

Thanks everyone for the shoe advice yesterday! I went ahead and bought NB 101s from 1st Place Athletics instead of waiting for Innov8s. They're a minimal trail shoe, come highly recommended, and 1st Place had my size :)

Penelope says:

I LOVE those shoes! Good choice!

13:36 (Scaled 75# & 1/2 WOD - 800m run + 10 C&J + 400m run + 10 C&J + 800m run)

Question: The demo video on the Games website http://games.crossfit.com/features/videos/workout-112-demo shows the woman doing box jumps, but her feet are NOT landing completely on the box - ever. She's landing on her toes, heels off the box. I remember this being a BIG issue during the throwdown. What's the standard?

TashaW says:

March 30, 2011 at 6:12 am

I should have said, "heels hanging off the box." (Basically, only half of her foot is actually landing on the box.)

FreakinA says:

March 30, 2011 at 6:20 am

As I understand it, they recommend full foot for safety but any part of both feet is fine. The standard they're looking, as I understand it is, is full hip extension which can be achieved after you land on the box by standing off or achieved when juming off the box.

Question about WOD 11.2: I still don't have a "standard" push up. I don't worm (that bad) so much as I pop up off my thighs to help myself up. If I did the Rxd weight and Rxd box, would my push ups be considered scaled if I can't do a "standard" one, therefore making the WOD scaled?

Robb says:

March 30, 2011 at 6:26 am

33:14 @ 155# scaled reps on second set of C&J to 8 reps.

Brian says:

March 30, 2011 at 6:26 am

Those are the exact shoes I bought from First Place today and I love them.

TashaW says:

March 30, 2011 at 6:27 am

Yeah, they have it written as: "This is a two-foot jump onto the box. The hips and knees must open fully at or above the height of standing on the box. Both feet must be on the box together at some point in the rep. You may jump down or step down but you must jump up."

I just remember watching a couple of people being told constantly their rep was "missed" at the throwdown because they didn't land with both feet fully the box (and I thought they were landing fully extended), so I wasn't sure....

Brian says:

March 30, 2011 at 6:27 am

32:31 @ 125#

Rough WOD, but got a 7:47 PR on my first mile.

Second set of C&J I only had 13 reps before having to run the last mile.

Will Blankenship says:

At the Throwdown, because of hanging heels, Barnett was shoving the fail-stick up our asses. I guess everyone is still gun shy about that one.

Will Blankenship says:

34:15 as rx'd

Almost puked up my colon right before I started the last run. Glad I didn't. That would have been awkward. Talk about shitty breath.

TashaW says:

March 30, 2011 at 6:46 am

This got a belly laugh from me, Will. heehee

Hey gang,
The "Scaled division" of our workout will look like this:

AMRAP in 15 minutes of:
9 Deadlifts- 135/95 pounds
12 Knee Push-ups
15 Step-ups onto a 20" box (alternating legs)

Kristi Simmons says:

March 30, 2011 at 7:26 am

I think Tony B actually says that your feet don't have to be all the way on the box to count as a rep, just as long as the hips are open at the top. However, they DO recommend your feet on the box for safety. I'm freakin over the push ups!

Kristi Simmons says:

March 30, 2011 at 7:27 am

"KNEE" push up like when we were in high school doing "girl push ups" or like what I was asking with using the thigh to pop up?

Robert S. says:

March 30, 2011 at 7:29 am

About the box jumps. Don't stress too much based on throwdown judging. Jump on the box. If it doesn't count, your judge will tell you why. Correct the miss and drive on!

DaveC says:

March 30, 2011 at 7:45 am

I scaled the 11.1. Does that require (or is there some reason it is advisable)that I stay scaled if I know I can at least slug through a few rounds of this one Rx'd?

Jake Naumcheff says:

March 30, 2011 at 7:49 am

Tasha, the only reason this was an issue at the throwdown was because our athletes simply weren't meeting the standards that had been discussed and briefed to everyone before the workout took place.

In Jeff's defense, he did exactly what a judge should do in upholding the standard and calling "no rep".

Russell says:

March 30, 2011 at 7:55 am

Kristi, these will be real-deal KNEE push-ups. Modified for those who tend to worm too much to do this otherwise.
Dave, if you CAN do this as Rx'ed. You should!

Chuck says:

March 30, 2011 at 8:07 am

I am with you sister- .... gonna practice tonight.

Chuck says:

March 30, 2011 at 8:12 am

I may have 1 round with the pushups... maybe... as Rx'd. ???????

TashaW says:

March 30, 2011 at 8:43 am

That's fine - I'm not trying to re-hash old issues. Just asking what's correct and expected of us for this WOD cause the throwdown was the only competition where I've been "up close and personal" watching someone judge box jumps. After being there, I was under the impression feet had to be fully on the box - so the video threw me off and I asked the question. Thanks for clarifying the issue, Aaron, Robert and Jake.

DaveC says:

March 30, 2011 at 8:46 am

Thanks, Russell. It will probabaly end the same as Weaver with my nose on the floor unable to push myself up again at some point, but Rx'd it is!

Robb says:

March 30, 2011 at 8:46 am

good work today!

Jason says:

March 30, 2011 at 9:50 am

did the Open WOD today and my goal was to stay moving. I did a pretty good job of that, but the dang push ups sucked. Picking up the hands between each one puts an odd strain/tweek on your shoulders. 6 rounds exactly. Deadlifts weren't too bad and box jumps weren't horrible either. Lunch class worked hard today on their WOD. Good luck to you Open competitors this weekend!

Erin Atkins says:

March 30, 2011 at 10:25 am

Awesome guys! I can't wait to try them out!

Cole Cubelic says:

21:37 scaled run 800/400/800

stacey says:

March 30, 2011 at 1:48 pm

wod 2 rx'd
5+24

some advise on the PU's...make sure you keep your chin down, take a deep breath hold everything in tight and then push up and make sure you lock out at the top and lift your hands up at the bottom...I took my time at the pushups bc they are not my best area..so I would do as many as I could, then rest bc i didnt want to get reps taken away and end up doing more than i needed to.

Also my transitioning from one movement to another was kinda slow..i had my box set up behind my bar, but since i just tonight mastered the 20" box i would only jump on it from one side, so I had to walk around it..it was in my head a bit...

i tried to stay steady, not turbo fast...i never stopped moving...

hope this helps someone...
