About the CFE WOD
Hey guys,
I'm a newbie and I didn't quite get what they meant on the WOD: 5 Sets 20 unbroken chest to bar chin ups with speed 10 sec rest AMRAP Burpees in 30 sec – DO NOT pace these Rest 90 sec 5 sets of 20 chinups chest to bar.. do they mean normal chinups, just to pull your self a little higher?, or do they mean something totally different? what does unbroken mean? and with speed? the 10 sec rest between each set sounds sick, I can barely do 5-8 chinups at best, how do I do 20, for 5 sets with such a small resting time? AMRAP Burpees is what this guy does? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH-ZhxX5NyU do I need to do 5 sets of the burpees as well? or is it something different. C2 workout, row your body weight in watts, etc.. row in what?, what's watts. Sorry for the stupid questions, its just not clear enough for me to understand them. |

Chin up - palms facing you
Do 20 chin ups so your chest hits the bar instead of just getting your chin over the bar. Try to go as fast as possible. Do 20 in a row without having to stop or come off the bar. Rest 10 seconds, then do as many burpees as you can in 30 seconds. Rest 90 seconds, and that completes 1 set. Repeat that sequence 4 more times. If you can only do 5-8 chin ups, then modify the workout so you're doing 7 unbroken. You still have the 90 seconds of rest post burpees before you do the chin ups again. The guy in the video is not doing a burpee. He's leaving out the push up for that particular workout. This is a burpee - http://www.rosstraining.com/articles/burpeeclip.htm (wfs) For the C2 workout, the monitor on the erg should show meters, calories, and watts. Make sure the display is showing watts - a measure of power output. Figure out how much you weigh in pounds and start rowing until you're pulling your weight (in pounds) in watts. Hold that for 1 minute, then pull 8 strokes as hard as you can to reach max watts. Rest 2 minutes, then repeat 9 more times. Hope that helps Jen |

Re: About the CFE WOD
Thanks, that helped a lot.
So when rowing get to my body weight in lbs worth of watts, hold that steadily for 1 minute, then perform 8 strokes as hard as I can.. then I rest 2 minutes and all over again. Just one thing, could you give me a picture/vid of this rowing machine I need to use to perform that workout? btw, while training I can't really time the burpees to be 30 seconds, what can I do instead? maybe a number of burpees which would take me about 30 seconds? |

Re: About the CFE WOD
That is correct.
A C2 is short for Concept 2, the maker of a very popular indoor rowing machine. It's also called an erg. Check out the Again Faster Mic'd Instructor series for a few videos about using an erg and reading the monitor. http://www.againfaster.com/the-micd-...er-part-1.html (wfs) Jen |

Re: About the CFE WOD
I don't think I have this in my gym, I'm pretty sure my gym doesn't have it.
Is there anything I can sub' this with? |

Re: About the CFE WOD
By the way Chest to bars in my opinion helped me learn how to push away from the bar to improve my kip.
