Games competitors will be required to wear all Reebok gear this year:
Ever had trouble figuring out who is who when watching a CrossFit competition? This year, we're adding numbered uniforms to remove all doubt. Last year, more than 130,000 people tuned in to the live Web cast. This year, we've had nearly 2 million absolute unique visitors and more than 30 million page views on the Game site since the Open started.
Having numbered uniforms is essential to give fans the ability to track the competition. We've worked closely with Reebok to create a look and fit that works for our sport. For months now, they've been meeting with top athletes, designing materials, colors, styles, cuts, and variety that fit the CrossFit athlete. Sure, we'll miss some of the craziness and creativity of the old outfits, but the gains for spectating are surely worth it.

WOD 110623
This workout is geared towards beginners. Experienced CrossFitters are welcome, but the pace will be slower than usual. Those with no, or limited experience are encouraged to come.
Tabata This:
Tabata
Row
Pull-Up (or jumping pull-up)
Push-Up
Sit-Up
Squat
One minute rest between exercises.
This will be done FGB style: start at any station and rotate clockwise: row>pull-up>push-up>sit-up>squat>row
Here is the original old-school, explanation of the WOD from a decade ago, including words of wisdom from Mark Twight(!)
Tabata Intervals ( 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest repeated 8 times) is applied in turn to the Squat, Rower, Pullups, Sit-ups, and Push-ups with a one minute rotation break between exercises. Each exercise is scored by the weakest number of reps (calories on the rower) in each of the eight intervals. During the one minute rotation time allowed the clock is not stopped but kept running. The score is the total of the scores from the five stations.
Some performance insights and a scoring example from Mark Twight:
Lying down between exercises lowers HR faster than standing, sitting or walking, indicating better recovery in the short 60 second rest.
Alternating upright exercise (squat, pull-up) with prone or seated exercises produces lower heart rates, and allows greater overall level of work
Rowing first reduces reps on all other exercises
Rowing reps are not seriously affected if done last
Improvement happens really fast when the workout is done consistently (bimonthly).
High number of reps may be maintained for greater number of sets as fitness improves. Rep totals do not necessarily improve per set, but now I can do 6 sets of 7 pull-ups rather than doing 11, 8, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, etc. which suggests that local area endurance and lactic acid tolerance improve with this protocol.
Scoring Example:
A total score of 53 (Execllent score, BTW) is determined by adding up the lowest number of reps in any set of each exercise.
18 squats
4 pull-up
6 push-up
13 sit-up
12 row (use the calorie counter and call each calorie a rep)
This score is a 53.

Opening day WOD at Diablo Rock Gym
We are happy to announce that we have expanded the CrossFit program to Diablo Rock Gym. There is no fee for this service upgrade. If you have been wanting to try CrossFit, but cannot commit to the on-ramp, we have a special situation at DRG: For the first month of the program, ending July 21, all classes, 7 days a week are open to all: no experience needed. The schedule is online at http://crossfiteastbay.com/weekly-schedule.html.
The opening day was a big success with 55 or more folks in attendance and over 40 doing the workout. The first workout was a classic example of a CrossFit WOD (workout of the day) which was doable by anyone. We started by deadlifting 5000 pounds (2500 for women) using any weight. Then we did an equal number of reps in three other exercises and ended with a brief run. Example: Suzie Raindrop uses 100 pounds for the deadlift (2500/100=25) so it takes her 25 reps. She then does 25 box jumps (or step-ups), 25 Russian Kettlebell Swings and 25 burpees. She finishes the workout by running around the building and yelling "Time"!
Joe D. won the WOD for the men with a blazing time of 3:35 (and throwing in extra high box-jumps just because), using 285 pounds for the deadlift (14 reps) Max and Harold were not far behind, but their strategy of using big weight (335 and 315) to cut down the reps turned out to be a mistake. Ernesto did 405x8 (!) but had to move to a smaller weight and did not finish 10 reps at the full weight. Andrea Lewin took 1st for the Women with a fast time of 4:53.
After a delicious paleo-ish lunch (Thanks to Hans and Mike!) we went to the challenges. Andre won the max 550 pound tire flips in 1:00 for the men with an unbeatable 15 flips. Haya took it for the women with one flip. Ynez managed one flip off a 2 inch riser. Andrea L. took the max rep muscle-ups for the women with three and Matthew F for the men with 5. The muscle-up set-up was less than ideal. Mauricio of Absurd Recreation, a stealth CF facility, took the double-under challenge with 140 doubles. Harold set a new CFEB record of 124 reps.
Thanks to all who helped and participated, it was awesome!

Explanation:
-Do as many reps as possible of PRESS at 85% of your best single or projected single.
-Use the formula weight*reps/30+weight to calculate a new predictive one-rep max (P1RM). For example 300#*11 reps: 300*11/30+300=410
-Use the new P1RM to generate the weight for your sets of 6-8. In the above example 410*.7=245 pounds. So the athlete would perform at least three but not more than five sets of ten reps.

GWPC Classes will be cancelled June 19th. Come to DRG instead.
DRG Opening Day WOD (WOD idea via MJ @ CFO):
In teams of two (or lone wolf)
Each team Deadlifts 7500/5000 pounds
Each team does Box Jumps 24/20 x the number of deadlifts they performed
Each team does Kettlebell Swings 1.5/1.0 x the number of deadlifts they performed
Each team does push-ups x the number of deadlifts they performed
Each team does pull-ups x the number of deadlifts they performed
RULES
each team gets one bar: each team member may use different weights, but they must use the same weight all they way though. Example Susie uses 155 and Johnny uses 225. They may switch the weight as often as they wish to break up the reps, but Susie always uses 155 and Johnny always uses 225.
Each team member must do at least 1/3 of the reps of each exercise.
Box Jump standard: step ups are allowed: two step-ups equals one box jump
Kettlebell standard: Russian (kettlebell must pass above eyes)
Push-up standard: from a prone position to a plank position, anyway anyhow
Pull-Ups standard: team members must go from full lockout under the bar to chin over the bar: team members may assist or "boost" those unable to do a full pull-up.
Opening day challenges:
1. Max tire flips in one minute 550 pounds
2. Max deadlift
3. Max ground to overhead
4. Max rep double-under, two attempts
5. Max rep pull-ups
6. Max rep handstand push-ups
7. Longest hang off bar, two hands
8. Longest hang off bar, one hand
9. Max rep muscle-up

Team Workout 6, CrossFit Regionals 2011
Team workout: each team must have an awesome name.
In teams of four, chosen at random (or lone wolf if logistically needed and/or possible):
For time:
Row 20 calories
30 Burpees
30 ground-to-overhead (115/75)
30 Toes to bar
100 foot Overhead walking lunge (45/25lb plate)
150 foot Sprint
General Rules:
Teams of four are comprised of two men and two women This is a chipper workout. All four athletes perform the entire workout. Athletes begin behind the line. At Go, the first athlete enters and completes the Row. When that athlete has completed the row, they move on to Burpees, and the second athlete may begin the Row. This pattern continues, in order, through all of the movement. No athlete can begin their next station until the athlete ahead of them is clear from that station. The athlete in front does not have to wait for anyone behind. A team's result is the total time for all 4 members to go through the workout. There is a 20-minute time cap. If a team cannot finish in the time cap, their result is the time cap plus a one second penalty for each rep not completed.

FLASHMOB WOD @ Diablo Rock Gym TONIGHT, 6:30PM
New Guidelines for Olympic Lifting at Berkeley Ironworks:
- Never drop metal plates
- Please do not drop the weight on warm-up sets
- Please do not drop on deadlifts or non-OLY lifts
- Please do not drop when you can feasably and safely lower to the ground
- Please drop from shoulder rather than overhead when possible
- Please drop from waist rather than shoulder when possible
- It is acceptable to drop on maximal lifts
- Always drop failed attempts when not doing so would risk injury
- CrossFit metcons cannot be performed with a weight and/or intensity which require dropping: we have other facilities where you can do this: contact Max at info@crossfiteastbay.com for more information.
You may also contact Lyn, the General Manager of BIW.

Max Effort
Athletes Choice:
Wave 2 Week 1 CFEB Strength Beta
Beta Program Spreadsheet:
DEADLIFT (No bouncing, no touch-and-go)
-AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible) @ 80% 1RM (one AMRAP only)
-At least 3 and not more than 5 sets of 8-10 reps @ 65% P1RM (Predictive One Rep-Max)
Explanation:
-Do as many reps as possible of LIFT at 80% of your best single or projected single.
-Use the formula weight*reps/30+weight to calculate a new predictive one-rep max (P1RM). For example 300#*11 reps: 300*11/30+300=410
-Use the new P1RM to generate the weight for your sets of 8-10. In the above example 410*.6=245 pounds. So the athlete would perform at least three but not more than five sets of eight to ten reps.
-OR-
5-5-5-5-5 or more DEADLIFT. Use the same weight for all five sets. Use more weight than last time.
Timed Effort
