''Double Jeopardy'' (02.01.2011)
Complete as many reps as possible for each movement during the ''Tabata Intervals'' prescribed. 1 x Tabata Round is (:20 x :10 rest).
4 Rounds x Jump Squats (65/45lbs)
4 Rounds x Ring Push-ups
4 Rounds x Jump Squats (65/45lbs)

4 Rounds x Sumo Deadlift High Pull (65/45lbs)
4 Rounds x GHD Sit-ups
4 Rounds x Sumo Deadlift High Pull (65/45lbs)
4 Rounds x GHD Sit-ups

Notes: A Jump Squat requires a barbell to be positioned the same as in a Low Bar Back Squat and pulled tight into the shoulders; squat through a full range of motion and drive the hips open fast and hard enough that triple extension forces a jump (land soft, freaks). If you need to substitute in Abmat Sit-ups for the GHD make sure you anchor your feet under dumbbells for this one. Each movement ends up completing a full 8 Rounds of Tabata, just move through with 4 work intervals per movement before rotating... get brahllic.

Post low numbers per 4 Round sets to comments (each movement should have two scores).

15 x Abmat Sit-ups
:10 x L-sit/V-sit

Notes: The Slamball must be caught on it's first bounce for a rep to be legitimate. Ring Prone Planks require a stable, straight midline to be maintained while in position if any time is to be accumulated. The Planks and L-sits should be completed in as few attempts as possible.

Feeling Frisky?
If it's an epic challenge you seek feel free to scale up the holds and movements as follows: For the Slamball stand on two bumper plates (45's) with a minimum of 12'' of space between them, and try to catch the Slamball despite the elevation disadvantage. Ring Planks get a bit tougher if they include a bumper plate being placed across the shoulder blades and mid-back. Abmat Sit-ups simply become weighted, bring the Slamball from above the head to beyond the feet during each repetition.

''Deadlift 5-3-1+ and U.S.A.W. Extended Edition'' (01.10.2011)

Rid your hearts of fear... Deadhang Pull-up Month begins today.
Deadhang Pull-up Month's guidelines are concise: All pull-ups prescribed in training will be Deadhang Pull-ups for the next 30 days. The standard of execution requires an athlete to start by hanging from a pull-up bar at full extension (arms completely straight). Without any swing of the legs or momentum play in the hips/shoulder girdle the athlete pulls their body upward until chin moves over the plane of the bar. Return in control to the starting position.
CrossFitters that have been scaling their pull-up training with bands may need to switch to one that is stronger.
Rest assured, the strength gains experienced 30 days from now will be profound.

''Bodyweight Back Squat Challenge'' (01.08.2011)

"Beyond the very extreme of fatigue and distress, we may find amounts of ease and power we never dreamed ourselves to own; sources of strength never taxed at all because we never push through obstruction.''

''Overhead Squats 5-3-1+ and G.I.Jane'' (01.07.2011)

Just over two months ago Mikey C. came into CFNH hoping our crew might be able to help prepare him for U.S. Marine Corps Officer Candidate School. It wasn't long before we noticed Mike's unwavering desire to excel, evident in the way he would throw himself, without reservation, at everything we asked him to do.
This kind of mental perseverance allowed Mike to endure (and eventually thrive) in the face of CrossFit's rigorous physical training tasks and the mental distress they are often accompanied by. Eight weeks later and we find ourselves saying goodbye to an Officer Candidate who's achieved a level of fitness and capacity for performance rarely found among those arriving at OCS.
Mike, the time for anticipation is finally over. It's been our privilege to see you forge yourself into a fire-breather here at CFNH... and just think, you've barely scratched the surface of your potential. We'll be eagerly awaiting your homecoming visit in a few months...
After you're born again hard, of course. Get Some.

P.S. Say hi to Hoostie for us.

10 x Clapping Push-ups
10 x Pull-ups

Notes: Each round is a fight against a 2:00 running clock. If the time expires before the workload is completed the WOD is over, score being calculated from those rounds the athlete finished. The only rest interval provided is whatever time remains (if any) from each 2:00 interval.

Total score is the sum of these earned rest intervals. Save every second you can.
Example: Athlete #1 takes exactly 1:00 to accomplish the workload each round for 10 rounds. This means that the athlete earned 1:00 of rest each round, the sum of their rest times is their score, in this case it would be 10:00.
