Please hold questions and comments until Garddawg or BlueBugofJustice post the scaling, which usually includes links to exercise videos, common substitutions and other helpful information.

The mainpage of CrossFit directs new people here for help getting started CF can be confusing enough for a newbie, we want to make it as easy as possible for them.  We ask you to be courteous and thoughtful of the newbies. If they show up here for the first time and have to wade through 5-10 posts before we have a chance to scale for them, it can make it more difficult.

Answers to frequently asked questions can be found in the Beginners forum.

We have too many heroes lost and not enough workout days to commemorate them. I think it’s fitting to always think of the men and women in service, whether military or peace officers and public safety, as we do our workouts. A bit of motivation to throw a little of our sweat and maybe a drop of blood on the floor in their honor.

So this is say…..right handed TGU, then Sotts press, back down, then left sided TGU, Sotts press, etc.?

My religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave.

Nope, this is TGU X21(l,r,l,r…), Sotts press x21, TGU x15, Sotts Press x15, tgu x9, Sotts press x9.

Enjoy. smile

Monday 100830

With a 9 kg Dumbell, 21-15- and 9 reps for time of:
Turkish Get-ups, alternating arms
Sotts press

My time: 20.53 min

I wasn’t sure if with the Turkish get-ups I had to do 21 reps for both arms, I just did 21 reps combined.
I hardly took breaks, and yet it took me pretty long to complete.

For the Sott pres i also used a dumbbell, because i cannot move my right arm that far back.

Warm up:

1/2 mile jog

Started off today’s workout at puppy version, but after 1 full round, the twinging in my right knee made me decide to stop. Everytime I did the get ups on the right side, the inside edge of my knee cap/ muscle sent a really uncomfortable zap through my knee. This is a formally bad knee, so I thought it best not to continue, although in hindsight I guess I could have tried removing the weight I was using (15lb PVC barbell)

Instead I switched over to the workout the other day that I missed:

Puppy version: 15,12,9,6,3

SDHP/ Push Presses with 20lb barbell

4:18

Ended the workout trying some tart cherry juice. Has anyone tried drinking this quick after a workout to alleviate soreness the next day?

Turkish Get-ups / Sotts Press

Puppies:
With a pvc barbell, 15-12-and 9 reps for time of:
Turkish Get-ups, alternating arms
Sotts press

Time:24:20

It was a humbling expereince
The most difficult part of the excercise was doing them with good form.
After some trials before the workout. I decided to go for form not for time.
With the Turkish Tet-up I had problems with pointing all the time to the
ceiling with the arm with the barbell. (stiff shoulder)
With the Sotts press I had problems with pushing the barbell straight up.
I was pushing the barbell more or less in the same direction as my upper
body, which I could not get straight enough.
This also has to do with stiffness of the upper body and the shoulders
This workout realy let me know where to work on the next months.

cash out: extended stretching session.

Not really but:

On the TGUs, it will be less wobbly since the weight won’t be 7’ long. 

On the sott’s press, I’d go with two 20lb dumbells in rather than try and do it one handed with a 45lb weight . .
