Todays’ wod was used in the Queensland, Australia sectional for the 2010 Crossfit games qualifiers:   We’ll get a portion of the pain of their competition- remember this is our wod today- at the sectionals, this would be 1 of 4 wods in a single day!

Complete as rounds as possible in 10 mins of:
Deadlift, 7 reps
Hang Power Clean, 7 reps
Front Squat, 7 reps
Chest to Overhead, 7 reps

The men will be using 90lbs while the women will tackle a 65lb load. The same bar is used for all exercises. There must be a clear separation between movements, i.e., the last deadlift and the first hang power clean cannot be performed as a single power clean from the ground. Partially completed rounds will contribute to the overall score

Five rounds for time of:

95/65 pound Shoulder press, 5 reps

95/65  pound Push press, 10 reps

95/65 pound Push jerk, 15 reps

No hips or legs in shoulder press, no jerking the push-press, focus on technique.

One of the questions that we get asked very regularly is, “is CrossFit like P90X?”  The P90X is obviously more mainstream  than Crossfit. If you have cable or satellite tv you can find the infomercial for P90X.   I have not explored the program outside of what I have seen on the infomercials  but I did try it a couple times but working out in front of the television was not my cup of tea. Here is what  the folks from Catalyst Athletics  Crossfit wrote about the differences.

Crossfit Vs. P90X

What’s the difference?  Well, a lot. Some say, not much.  They have a lot in common, and they’re closer to one another than, say, the average gym-goers ‘routine’ of machines and cardio.

First off, neither of these methodologies are unique.  Both draw from a wide variety of more original sources.  In Crossfit’s case, it’s gymnastics, weightlifting, sprinting, powerlifting, and kettlebells; in the case of P90X, it’s Yoga, bodybuilding, and martial arts.  All good stuff.  full article
