35:10 as Rx'd. except did 45# good mornings for back ext. We do not have a GHD. Disappointed but I haven't been working that hard lately. I have been less than motivated the last couple months. Maybe the gray days in northern Indiana. Any Ideas to get out of the slump?

#17 Jason asked:
for longer high rep WODs like this is it better to take as much rest as needed to finish the 50 reps?? or should I have a max rest time and if I can't do another rep move on to the next exercise??

Well, the intent for the WOD is: Start the clock. Do all 500 reps in order, resting only as necessary. Stop the clock. Record your time. Try to beat it next time.

But regarding taking breaks, I think many of the hackers here, like me for instance, have to take breaks on several of the exercises. Take the KTE's - because of a combo of stomach muscles and grip strength, I can't come close to 50 straight. I do 20, rest 5-8 seconds, do 8, rest agin fer a couple, then 7, rest, 6, rest, 5, rest, then the last 4. Also have to take breaks for wall ball and burpees. Just try and remember that the clock is ticking, so just rest long enough to bang another couple of reps out.

If you are just getting going, you might try scaling it to 40 reps of each for a total of 400, see how it goes, and then modify next time the WOD comes up. For instance, my wife did 30 of each the first time she tried it.

HTH, Dave T.

Comment #37 - Posted by: Mike/31/205/6'1'' at April 13, 2010 9:14 PM
Does anyone else have standard overtraining symptoms that they get? I should probably say overreaching, as it goes away in 3-5 days. If I do too much over a few days and can't find the right sleep and glutamine to counter I usually wake up with a nasty sore throat and stuffed ears/nose. It feels like strep or a sinus infection but no fever and the doc never finds anything. The problem is that I can never really spot any warning signs. It just seems to crash in, usually after a rough rugby weekend, but in this case it was just after being active and outside for too many days in a row I guess.

This is the 3rd time in the last 6 months and each one I can attribute to overindulgence in athletic endeavors.

Does anyone have similar overreaching or overtraining issues? If so, have you found any foods or habits that helped prevent them? Other than the obvious "just take a day off when you feel it coming" which would work if I could "feel" it coming. It's usually a wake up sick thing. Obviously I'm gonna miss some sleep here and there, but I find it hard to believe that that alone could set me off.

Ever since I started CrossFit, muscular girls like in today's pic are getting more and more attractive to me. That girl's got a hot bod!!

#13 JLG - As hard as it is for us fitness freaks not to train, try taking a full week off, do nothing at all. Eat a bag of potato chips, watch TV, and drink a ton of beer. You'll be amazed at how motivating feeling fat and out of shape will be for you!!

But if you can't stomach that idea, then try something different for exercise other than CrossFit. Try playing pickup basketball at the park, swimming, yoga, or good ol' Globo Gym 3 sets of 10 on the incline peck deck machine, haha. That might be refreshing enough to miss CrossFit and get your mind back on track. Hope that helps!

THE SAME THING THAT I PUT BACK IN 08 NOV 09,

The Famous Filthy Fifty! Nice! one of my favorite workouts since i started crossfit! sweet!

I am confident that i will beat my PR, the more I do this WODs the better I get overall phisically, this one will be the perfect example along with all the Girls Benchmark WODs,

Any TIPS on how to get a faster time?

I am pacing my self and if i rest it will be less than a 5 second rest and attacking the WOD again till i finish.

BRING IT COACH. 3,2,1. GO!

Comment #47 - Posted by: SANTI at April 13, 2010 11:54 PM
Had to make some subs...

DB for kettlebell
Good mornings with 45lbs for back extensions
Thrusters with 45 lbs for Wall Ball shots
Knees to Chest jumps for DU'

47:43. This workout was a beast, I don't see how people can do all of this in sub 20 minutes....

Comment #48 - Posted by: emiller at April 14, 2010 12:00 AM
Chris, #39 at 9:19 pm,
not overtraining, what you're experiencing is from your immune system being crushed by the workout. The solution is simple: immediate (within 10-15 minutes of finishing) post-workout nutrition, consisting of whey protein, maltodextrin (fastest acting sugar, serves to stimulate insulin response, restore glycogen stores, and acts to facilitate use of BCAA from protein, and...) L-glutamine, which supports your immune system.

I had the same problem for a long time. Post-workout shakes fixed it.

They also make a noticeable difference in your next workout performance.

I do the "filthy" once a week even when it's not prescribed, it's my favorite. Starting last week I changed the 50 to 60, increased the weight to 65# on the push press and added an 11th exercise at the end, 95# overhead squats. I did this one yesterday (time 68 mins.) so I'll do something else today.

Quack, to what underlying mechanism of action would you attribute this? Is is an overtraining effect?

Just a 20% wreck, like a fender bender, and you'd be AWESOME at driving. You'd dominate NASCAR events and you wouldn't have to debate anyone about it.

Have you seen their website lately? Or recent videos of Georges St. Pierre training like he would under a Zach Even-Esh mentorship? Just recently, an Under Armour representative showed up at CrossFit Central for a meeting.

One thing that apparel and lifestyle companies have learned in recent years is that CrossFit athletes have become that new (in-)crowd...CrossFit athletes have become useful in communicating messages to the masses and starting trends. When you watch the sport, you see living, breathing, walking, talking, supremely fit billboards that represent the brand like no paid model, athlete, or actor could.
