Rippetoe on Basic Barbell Training
Mark Rippetoe lecturing during this past weekend's CrossFit Powerlifting Seminar
Just got back from San Diego a few hours ago (thus the late post) where I spent the weekend helping out at the CrossFit Powerlifting Seminar taught by Mark Rippetoe and Lon Kilgore, co-authors of Starting Strength and Practical Programming (two books that should be a part of everyone's library).
It was a great honor and privelege to be able to participate in the seminar. I learned a lot and can't wait to share my knowledge with everyone else at CFO.
The seminar covered Rip's and Kilgore's complete system for teaching the following 5 exercises: back squat, shoulder press, deadlift, bench press, and power clean. I highly recommend the seminar to anyone who has a chance to go.
Today's WOD
22-16-10 Reps for Time:
Handstand Push-Ups
Pistols
Divide pistol total between both legs evenly (e.g., for the first set, you'd do 11 pistols with your left leg and 11 pistols with your right leg).
We'll be working the following skills:
Kipping Pull-Ups
Dips
Muscle-Ups
Handstand Push-Ups
Pistols

Times for yesterday's workout:
5 rounds: Run 400m/25 Back Extensions
(400M run distance was estimated, so it may not have been exactly 400m but was probably pretty close)
Allen 11:36
Amy 14:40

Oops, Amy's time was 15:40. my mistake...
Still strong work IMO, considering she could barely run at all a few months ago, and hasn't run for years because of a torn ACL/meniscus that she finally had repaired last november! Oh, and she played softball for 3 hours yesterday too, before the workout.
I may be biased, but I think she's awesome!
