"Don't call it a comeback"

Good morning everyone! I have been sidelined with a back injury for the past 12 weeks. I was out of work and only managed three small training sessions in during that period, (besides a 250 bike ride from D.C. to NYC). It is important for anyone to be smart after a long layoff especially after an injury. Being the madman I am, I usually have the tendency to jump right back in with both feet, throwing all caution to the wind, not smart! During this beginning period of training after a long layoff, your body is highly susceptible to injury. It is important to train "smart" and not push it too hard or too fast. If you are not careful you could tweak the old injury or worse, create a new one. Remember, physical training is not a "sprint", it's a "marathon". See ya out there! Robb

The "Murph"

Had to push the Murph back a day due to some car trouble (had to push it 4 blocks) and a heat index well over 100 degrees. Here we go!

"Murph"
For Time:
1 mile run
100 pullups
200 pushups
300 squats
1 mile run

Running can be replaced with 2000m rows (Murph on the water). Best time today for regular Murph was 55:59 (mile split times 1st mile 7:03/ 2nd mile 9:58) That second mile is a fucking bear!! Best "on the water" time 1:03:30. I haven't tried the row version yet but it definitely is a beast! Awesome, awesome training!

Tomorrow is the 5 year anniversary of the battle that killed 11 Navy Seals and 8 Army Night Stalkers in the Kunar Province of Afghanistan. Several of Crossfit's best "Hero" WOD's came out of this heroic battle, the JT, Micheal, and the Murph. Tomorrow we will be conducting the "Murph" is his honor. Lt. Michael Murphy was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions on that day. Navy Seals, Petty Officer 1st Class Jeff Taylor (JT) and Lt. Michael McGreevey (Micheal) were posthumously awarded Bronze Stars for Valor and Purple Hearts. The Murph is long and hard and should be conducted with a 20lb weight vest if you are up for the challenge. When you feel like you're going to keel over on the second mile run after 300 squats, think of these heroes and what they did to defend you're country and the ultimate sacrifices they made! Use this to drive you through and complete the mission!! More information about these men can be found on line and in the May 2010 issue of the Crossfit Journal.

Foot Note

Its important to note that not all of us are on the same "skill level". No one should be discouraged from attempting training on this site. All workouts can be tapered to fit your individual needs based on skill and strength. Here are just some examples/substitutes:

Pullups- Perform jump'n pullups, just double the reps for that round. For jump'n pullups, set up a platform that will allow your arms to go to full extension while your legs are in a 1/4 to 1/2 squat. Jump strong and pull hard!

Pushups- Go from the knees or, set up a bar on a rack at waist height. Lower the bar the stronger your get. Again double reps.

Weighted Exercises- Females generally use 30lbs lighter but this is just a guideline not a rule. Gear the weight to make it challenging, not impossible.

Kettlebells- If you don't have kettlebells, use dumbells instead. If you don't know how to use them, don't!! Buy a book, take class, watch a video (Crossfit, Youtube)

Run/Row- For a guide, 400m run = 500m row

These are just some examples of ways you can change WOD's to fit your training. Be creative and make your workouts fun. Remember, routine is the enemy so keep your training fresh and constantly varied.

"Old School with a Twist"

Remember the days of training specific body parts? Yea I know it been over two years for me too but heres a go at it ! Heres a straight up "Back Day" with a little High Intensity Twist.

- 10 minutes double under training

- 1 x 800m row for time (all out speed)

5 rounds of :

3 ring pullups
4 ring rows
7 pullups
10 deadlifts (135)

(each round is exactly 4 minutes, rest with remaining time in each round for a total of 20 minutes) Work hard but focus on good form remember we are in a slow down period on intensity, you should have between :45 secs to 1:15 rest before the start of each round. Try to maintain the "false grip" on the ring exercises for muscle up training. Sorry DOC, 2:45 on me row! Talk to ya soon.

Happy Dad's Day!

Humidity is through the roof here even early this morning! Today's AM session, easy 60 minute cardio (Run, Bike, Swim, Row) for Dad's Day. Perform these as one event, or in any combination as long as you get at least 60 minutes total time. I chose a long bike ride to the boardwalk in Sea Isle City, (dropped 2.5lbs of water in 1 hour 5 minutes), thats humid!

We will be following a 12 week half marathon train up developed by Hal Higdon http://www.halhigdon.com/halfmarathon/novice.htm Check out this link if you are interested in the Philly Rock N Roll Half. Official training starts tomorrow.

Enjoy your day with Dad!

Todays WOD is a 30 minute strength/conditioning session. Again the goal here should be medium intensity during this lighter period so choose kettlebells that you can handle pretty easily.

Summer Time!

Summers here and as usual things begin to get chaotic at the Asylum. The WOD's on this site lately have been sparatic due to lack of time to post them, however training here has been kicking ass! Some of the latest workouts can be extremely intense so caution should be used if you are new to HIT (high intensity training). Personally I enjoy training at the hottest part of the day with zero "conditioned air" as a test of physical as well as mental strength and fortitude. If you are just starting out I advise training in the coolest times of the day during the summer months. Try today's creation and give me some feedback. I completed it in 28:18 at 90 degrees with high humidity with 200lbs at 2pm. Not bad for the conditions but I could definitely beat it next time. When it was all said and done I was whipped! Let me know if you like it.


For Time:

800m run
100 deadlifts (body weight)
*100 jump rope*
800 m run

* This is a penalty for stopping on the deads. Every time you stop the bar for more than
a second you do 100 jumps.

Wednesday, June 2, 2010

6 rounds for time of:

400m run
500m row
10 kettlebell swings 53/35 (overhead swings or replace with 20 standard)

50 back extensions
25 ghd situps

4 rounds of burpees

Battling ropes or whips its or snakes are simply taking two sections of climbing rope 16-20ft, attaching them to an anchor, and creating a wave or whipping motion with them. I use fire which I got for free from a local department. 5" hose will kick your ass, 3" is alittle friendlier.

TOUGH MUDDER

This past Sunday, my team (Boats and Hoes) and I completed our first Tough Mudder event! If you have never competed in one I will try to break it down for you. Imagine running a 7mile obstacle course up and down a ski slope! Jumping into waist high mud and water. Diving into freezing cold water several times, and sliding down some muddy slopes. Oh did I mention running through fire? And of course my Motley Crue and I were hung over from the night before which was probably not the smartest decision, but was still a great time. 2 hours of non stop fun. We'll probably do another one in November in New Jersey. We met some great people and had a great time.

Todays WOD was an Ass Kicker!! My legs were still sore from this weekend and won't be any better tomorrow.

For Time:

50 thrusters (75lb)
50 pullup
50 kb swings (over head 53lb)
50 hangclean (75lb)
50 walkn lunge (over head 45lb)

The twist is a penalty every time your put the load down of 3 burpees of 5 situps. It doesn't seem like much but they add up!

Have fun!! Eat, Sleep, Train...

Monday, April 19, 2010

Attention Mudders

Toady was a Mudder training day. To all you Mudders, if you haven't gotten wet yet I recommend it. Your shoes get heavy and theres nothing like the feeling of cold wet feet!! Its 46 degrees here, raining, and we have tons of flooding!! The running track I used today is 1.3 miles and had areas of flooding from 1 to 6 inches. I would definitely recommend a nice lite weight trail running shoe, hopefully ones with vent holes to let out the water. If you don't have any water, soak your feet and shoes with a hose and go for a run. Keep it real!!!

Get'n Ready for the Mudder!!

Only 60 days until my first run at the Tough Mudder in PA. I have seven Warriors getting ready for this event. Training is starting to intensify and I'm trying to be a little more creative. Todays workout focused on several shorter runs with some core Kettbell, and body weight training placed in the middle.

1 mile warm up run

"House O' Cards"
The idea is to flip over two cards, each suit represents a different exercise, do the amount of reps per card for that exercise.

Ace's = 11 reps, Face cards = 10, all other cards = face value (Jokers = 25 Jump Squats), and doubles = 15 pullups (you may have none or many of these)

If the exercise is a single arm then split the reps in half but round to the next higher even number I.E. Ace's = 12

Spades - Half Burpees
Diamonds - Situps (Abmat, GHD, or reg. based on fitness level)
Hearts - Kettlebell C & P (Choose a med. to heavy bell)
Clubs - Kettlebell Swings (Big Bell!!)

No time limit for this training however you should work quickly but efficiently.

I finished this training with a 1.5 mile run (race pace). This race will be conducted approximately 1000 ft higher in elevation that were we train. I tried to compensate for this by utilizing a snorkel during the House of Cards portion. This was my first time trying this out and it was definitely interesting. One thing that I did notice is that for my 1.5 run, I didn't have to even think about or concentrate on my breathing. After breathing through that "Straw" for 20 minutes, my natural breathing was like instinct (which it should be). I'm going to keep experimenting with this technique and see how far I can push it. Keep Training and were still looking for donations for the Wounded Warrior Project http://www.active.com/donate/toughmuddernypawwp/RBond51

There is nothing like the sensation of leaving the first set of footprints in 8inches of fresh snow on a brisk 18 degree run. Hit the running path this morning for a 2 mile run in the new fallen snow we received yesterday. Not a fast run but lots of fun. After that hit some Kettlebell work outside just for fun!

KEEP TRAINING!!

Winter Throwdown


Yesterday a friend and I hit the Winter Throw down at Crossfit215 in Philly. I didn't set any ground speed records but had a descent workout. 215 has a great space with tons of character, a great box. If anyone is near the Philly area stop in and check it out. We met alot of great people and had a great time!!

Ring Day

Another cold one in the Asylum! Todays training focused on ring training. If you havn't tried rings, I highly recommend them. They can add extreme intensity to any exercise. This workout was a killer on the shoulders so go easy if your a beginner.

10 rounds of:

5 Ring Pullups (False Grip if you can)
5 Ring Dips (Deep, elbows past 90)
5 Back Extensions (25 lb plate)

5 rounds of:

10 Ring Pushups
10 Ring Layouts
10 KB Snatchs

For the layouts, set up the rings so they are 6-12 inches off the ground (the higher up the easier the exercise). Set up on your knees and with arms fully extended, extend your torso until your body in flat and parallel to the deck (just the the evil ab wheel).

Enjoy!! And remember, Train Hard or Go Home!!!!!!!!!!!

Scoring is calculated by the lowest number of reps in any one round per exercise. Combine several groups of exercises to boost up your fat burn and anaerobic threshold.

Welcome to the New Year!!

Happy New Year everyone! Had an awesome morning session to help start the New Year off with a BANG. Worked a session with the GYM BOSS timer going 30 seconds max effort with 30 seconds rest. Utilized three groups of three exercises.

Thrusters (bar)
Half Burpees
Pullups (assisted bands)

3 rounds of:
