WOD Methodology and today's WOD

A quick note on how I approach my workout for the day. There's 3 of us that do CrossFit on our own, 2 of us have been doing it for 2 years, and the other one about 8-9 months now. We typically start with the Crossfit mainsite and go from there to pick the WOD. There could be a number of reasons why we might not do that one (equipment and/or physical limitation). So, we might alter it or scale it, or look to another site for inspiration. The other sites would include Crossfit Football (as a former college football player, I am drawn to these dudes..), CrossFit Legacy, or either if the two Cleveland affiliates (CrossFit Cleveland, CrossFit CLE). If none of those are working, we will throw something together from our archives, or, mix and match something on our own (12 Days of Christmas). Myself and one other guy have trained at affiliates, and have learned alot from it. We've got a pretty solid warmup and change it up a bit depending on what we are doing. We'll also add a metabolic piece on the end it needed, just to wrap it up on bang.

In any case, after yesterday's lung ripper, I though I would do something a little more in my wheelhouse. So, today's WOD was pulled from the CrossFit Football archives, and tweaked. We've been doing a bunch of abs, so I swapped dips with the originally prescribed GHD situps.

For time:

10 rounds
3 deadlift 315lbs
5 clapping pushups
7 dips

I came in about 12:30. The pushups and dips were a bear, as the dips made the pushups even harder....but hey, it's all good right?

Ciao.
