Hey Brooklyn:
I know Angie as a Wod, but what is the Angie challenge?

The Angie challenge is an extra-credit version of the 100-Day Pull-Up Challenge. Basically Day 1 you complete 1 pull-up, 1 push-up, 1 sit-up, 1 squat, Day 2 you complete 2 pull-ups, 2 push-ups, 2 sit-ups, 2 squats, ...etc until you get to Day 100, on which you do Angie.

I was hoping to make up the deads from yesterday, is someone going to have the box open while folks are at McCarren tomorrow?

Craig - of course that will depend on our coverage, but ideally we will try to have at least one trainer keeping the facility open while others are tearing it up out in the park. We will try to know for certain by tomorrow and announce accordingly.

How do you go about the Angie challenge if a wod has pushups or pullups etc. Are they deducted?

made up 21 reps for angie challenge

*yes you can deduct from whatever wod you just did that day.

No deductions.

All reps of the Angie Challenge are done in their entirety regardless of the WOD, warmup or whatever one did to avoid being chased down by dogs/zombies/zombie dogs that day.

So yeah, if the WOD happens to be Angie on Day 100...well that day is just going to suck.

hah or what moon said.
I for one don't like to count the WOD reps unless its really high reps. High reps being 50+ , so Fran doesn't count.

Deductions are absolutely allowed. In a similar spirit to the burpee challenge, if the day's WOD includes pullups or pushups or situps or squats, or you did a bunch of any of those things for warm up, cool down, escaping from wild animals, those CAN count toward the Angie challenge.

If you wish to not count them, of course that's your prerogative!

(By the way, if you think that including WOD reps is something only a pussy would do, let us chat about this again around about day 70 ;)

Booooo....

Announcing the Moon Purist Angie Challenge...:)

hehe - she said "pussy"

i'm with good sam on this one.

O.k.
i'm in on this one. i will start on 10/20. What will the buy in be that day.

Not sure if last one posted. What will the buy in be if I start on 10/20?

you want to buy in on day 14!?
that's 105 reps please.

I think disallowing deductions is redunkulous. Isn't the badassedness factor dwarfed by the corresponding retarditude level? If you miss day 56 and the WOD on day 57 is Cindy (or even Fran, for that matter), you would be smart to count all those reps.

From the official CF Santa Cruz Burpee Challenge rules:

"5. Any burpees you complete during your regular workout can count towards that day’s Challenge burpees, if you want them to."

Juan:
That seems a little rough as a buy in. I will do this on my own then and then if I make it past day 25 I will let ya"ll know. I'm not sure this is feasable unless there is a pullup bar around me at all times.How many are doing it over there?

"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not only because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too." - President John F. Kennedy

CrossFit is about meeting challenges, no? Letting 3 rounds of the standard CF warmup carry one through the first month of this Angie Challenge does not seem to keep to the spirit of the challenge. Still, I respect the opinion of the organizer of the challenge and so I will just say that I am adjusting the challenge for myself. If I fail - and many good people gave up in the Burpee Challenge who did the "no deductions rule" - then at least I will have failed in reaching for a high goal - a goal that was set because it was hard.

[And on a practical note...come on - you get *all day* to do the exercises. With a little planning, one could knock out most of the reps throughout the day.]

Moon,

I will admit that I prefer committing to challenges that can be met, rather than setting myself up for failure, and that I'm more interested in doing a challenge that complements my training rather than hampers it.

In any case, I don't think the first few weeks matter much. It will be plenty hard enough when I have to do 80 chest to bar pull-ups on a rest day (I'm sticking to the OG pull-up challenge, the Angie challenge is just plain whack).

You guys have more comments today that we do over at crossfitnyc.com. I have mixed feelings on this... : )

P.S.: Yay CFBK t-shirts!

I find this challenge interesting, but how many people out there have enough in the tank after a brutal WOD I.E. Like todays WOD after 80 days? I"ll sleep on it.Maybe permanently.

Whack? Boooo, Ewen.
Sure, this challenge seems F'ing retarded, to the smart person. But I dunno, smart is a little too closely correlated with our need to find ways to make things easier. I'd rather take a heaping spoonful of retarditude then to accept failure before accepting a challenge.

ah, the eternal struggle.

yin vs. yang... good vs. evil... GI Joe vs. Cobra... Megatron vs. Optimus Prime... badassedness vs. retarditude.

today's WOD (cleans and GHDs) with 105 lbs cleans:

15:50

Sub 115lbs - 16:38

Sub 55lbs - 15:22

Subbed 75# and GH sit ups:
16:17

I probably missed this, but what time is the park wod?

Ewen - Reach > grasp, no?

rmfbarger - "The never ending struggle of badassedness vs. retarditude" Why do you drop this back-of-a-CrossFit-t-shirt slogan gem on us *after* we get the first set done??? :)

Jessica - I'm thinking we leave the gym at 7.

ewen deserves all the credit on that one.

sub 62lb

Did a variety of practice stuff today.

3 sets of
5 35# DB snatch/windmill/bent press
Apparently 35# is too wussy-ish of a weight, so I'll have to keep working on this.

3 sets of
10 one-arm push ups (5 per side), arm-out style

3 sets of
5 Jack LaLanne push ups
Nearly impossible for me.

5 sets of
3 plyometric HSPU, wall assisted

1 sets of
6 one-arm chin negatives (3 per side)
These were hardly negatives.

5 sets of
6 assisted one-arm chin/pull ups (3 per side), one arm on bar, the other on towel or rope

mm.. luv it ))

hh... really like it :)

ehh. thanks :)

Hi guys, all human situations have their ups and downs. We feel those of the here and now but never see or feel those of the future

Hi people, every human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the here and now but never see nor feel those of the future

Nice one, there are actually some worthwhile ideas on this post some of my readers just might find this relevant, will send them a link, thanks.

Thanks for this interesting post in fact you did me a great favor by providing me with this great information, that's exactly what i was looking for you saved me a lot of searching time, by the way you are really good at making good informative posts in this area :).

Odd , your article shows up with a brownish hue to it, what color is the primary color on your site?

I was just doing some web browsing on my Drioid during my spare time at work , and I happened across something I thought was interesting . It linked to your site so I jumped over. I can't really find the relevance between your site and the one I came from, but your site good anyway.

That is pretty insightful. It provided me a number of ideas and I'll be writing them on my website shortly. I'm bookmarking your website and I'll be back. Thanks again!

As culture has definitely transformed urban accessories, they tend to adapt the requirements of a specific area at a specific era. Knowing how urban differs from other fashion is a step forward to being identified as a true urban wearer.

Evening shoes and sandals by Diesel women's shoes may be chosen for their name, but they will be worn for their style, too. They make a fashion statement, wherever you go. The styles are unique and trendy, and not like many other shoes on the market.

Hy...from my experience I didn't had a good read from a extended time.Really glad i noticed it on yahoo.I was speaking with my friends two days ago around this issue and I have to state you clear out a lot of things.Thanks and good luck

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

As being a inexperienced blogger myself, it is always important you just read a really good blogger on a regular basis. I wish to learn so much from reading many others posts and Personally i think that yours has quite a lot to offer the website reader, thanks a lot for taking the time and making the effort. Donna

If you want to buy a car, you would have to get the home loans. Furthermore, my mother commonly takes a secured loan, which is really reliable.

Thank you for your post. im glad i found your site

Your current blogs constantly possess a lot of really up to date info. Where do you come up with this? Just saying you are very imaginative. Thanks again

Ha ha... I was just surfing around and took a glance at these responses. I can't believe that there's still this much interest. Thanks for writing about this.
