Baselines and Boxes

August 18, 2010
By

Toldja yesterday was sneaky. Today’s is even cooler. You all know Baseline – for many of you, it was your first CrossFit workout. Today is a chance for you to see how far you’ve come… and how much farther you can push it.

The concept is simple: as many box jumps as possible in 10 minutes. Only, there’s a buy-in: you have to do Baseline first. The faster you do Baseline, the more time you have for Box Jumps. And you know you want to have a fast Baseline time so you can see how much you’ve improved since you started at CrossFit Fenway, right?

Tues 8/17

Skill: Pistols
Strength: Snatch
WOD: Baseline + Max Rep Box Jumps (24″), in 10 minutes
500m Row
40 Squats
30 Sit-ups
20 Push-ups
10 Pull-ups
Note Baseline time
Use remaining 10 minutes to complete as many box jumps (24″) as possible. Score is total box jumps.

Announcements

Fight Gone Bad has raised more than $2 million in its first four editions. This year LIVESTRONG, Wounded Warrior Project, and the CrossFit Foundation are benefiting from the fundraising efforts. On Saturday, September 25th we’ll be running our heats. Justin Shaughnessy has raised $2,300 to date, ranking him third among all fundraisers! CrossFit Fenway has raised a combined $3,561, placing us 8th among all affiliates. We can win – but Justin can’t do it alone. Register today, and join the fight as part of the CrossFit Fenway team.

The Sox are at home all week, so there is NO free parking for evening classes at CrossFit Fenway on Tuesday. (Come early to find street meters or 2 hour visitor spots back on Peterborough, if you must drive.)

      Great job, Air Yosh! I saw some nice butterfly kips from you on my way out the door, too.

      Baseline: 4:07*
      Box Jumps: 119

      *My hips touched the ground during my push-ups. Thank you Stacey for the correction.

      Beast. What more can be said?

    • Justin S. on August 18, 2010 at 10:21 am

      nice job bud

    • Shrujal on August 18, 2010 at 10:38 am

      Amazing job by all of you today!

      Baseline: 4:14
      Box Jumps: 73 – I know this is terrible for having almost 6 minutes…but it’ll get better!

      • Haley on August 18, 2010 at 12:43 pm

        Shruj, I heard you had quite the interesting row today :)

        Baseline- 5:47/80 box jumps Rx

        first baseline in january was around 11 minutes with push ups from my knees and purple & green bands…

        • Yosh on August 18, 2010 at 5:59 pm

          That’s an awesome jump Haley!

    • Yosh on August 18, 2010 at 11:38 am

      Everyone did great today, I believe there were a alot of baseline times that were smashed from their previous one! All around good energy!

  3. Scrappy on August 18, 2010 at 9:34 am

    Baseline 7:14, unassisted this time (eval baseline was 7:52ish with a couple of reds or a purple)

    Box jumps (20″) — 32

    Junk rowing and too long on the pull-up bar.

    • Kristin on August 18, 2010 at 10:01 am

      Looked damn impressive to me…

  4. Kristin on August 18, 2010 at 10:06 am

    Baseline: 6:32 w/ purple
    Know where I can get faster, but really pleased with how I felt overall.
    Box: 30
    Not happy with how my brain says “no,” but thankful to Stacey and Haley for getting me up for the last 5.

    • Scrappy on August 18, 2010 at 11:07 am

      Nice quick time, I’m glad the box jumps didn’t give you the puke treatment again!

  5. Nick on August 18, 2010 at 1:45 pm

    Baseline 5:41 down from 6:08, a mere nine days ago. I know what did it:
    #1) Less pausing on the squats.
    #2) Push-ups were 13/7, rather than 5/5/5/3/2. Holy crap that feels great.
    75 Box Jumps afterward. Holy crap legs sore. In that awesome way, though.

  6. Dan on August 18, 2010 at 1:52 pm

    Snatch: 60kg
    Baseline: 4:37
    Box Jumps: 77

    Good job noon class. Great to see Eric P. back in action.

  7. Eric P. on August 18, 2010 at 5:00 pm

    3:52 baseline
    134 box jumps

    Dan and Jim, thanks for setting the pace at noon – i love working harder to catch up!
