For those not yet acquainted with Crossfit, check out the national website. They have FAQs and videos of some of their workouts. I attend one of their affiliates, UteCrossFit and absolutely love it. For today's workout (called WOD for Workout Of the Day) we did power cleans and pull ups. 5 power cleans, 10 pull ups, 10 power cleans, 20 pull ups, 10 power cleans, 20 pull ups, 5 power cleans, 10 pull ups. The prescribed weight for guys was 135 pounds on the power cleans. Most of the CrossFit workouts are done for time. Today's workout took me 12 minutes 49 seconds. I couldn't do that many pull ups continuously, so I had to drop and reset a bunch of times. The pull ups typically used at CrossFit are called Kipping pull ups. Check out the links to see some demonstrations of the two exercises. Also, if you want to see a couple other CrossFit workouts, check out Fran (95 lb. thrusters and pull ups 21-15-9) and the Bear Complex.
