This WOD is one of the benchmark CF workouts from CrossFit.com that was first programmed in 2005. The Nasty Girls were the original trio of female fire breathers from the first CrossFit “Box” (the original CFHQ): Nicole Carroll, Eva T., and Annie Sakamoto.
We can’t do this workout without posting what is one of the “early classic” workout demo videos from CrossFit.com; classic because of the early style that included crappy music, sometimes poor technique/range of motion, no editing, and impressive performances.
The most memorable parts are that 3 women are doing muscle-ups (which was not common several years ago), and that Nicole fights and cries her way through the last round of the WOD, failing muscle-ups and cleans while the tears are flowing yet still managing to finish the workout. This video became one of the most watched CF videos that inspired a ton of CrossFitters to get their muscle-up.

Two parts to the conditioning today to work on getting through sets with less rest and more movement. This type of WOD makes you fight to not put the bar down and keep moving on the burpees or heavy kettlebell swings.

Today I programmed a mini version of the Hero WOD “DT” and naturally those movements are basically in tomorrow’s Open 15.4 WOD. #crossfitnostradamus

Some notes on 15.4:

Read up on the standards and familiarize yourself with either the RX or Scaled or Teens version depending on what you are planning to do.
If you are close to your first HSPU then safely attempt to get it in your 8 minutes.
If you are new to HSPU but definitely can’t clean the RX weight, get your HSPU done and then do the scaled WOD for a good workout.
If you can do HSPU but the weight will be a struggle or close to a PR, then use your full clean and squat to stand it up. After 3 HSPU you have the remaining time to get a PR squat clean.
If you are scaled, then perform the WOD using two bars for the corresponding loads.
Coaches will explain HSPU measurement standard and mark tape lines for RX athletes.
RX: You can use a long yoga mat underneath your head or plates/abMat as long as the hands are at the SAME level with the hands.

“Workout 15.4“
Complete as many reps as possible in 8 minutes of:
3 handstand push-ups
3 cleans
6 handstand push-ups
3 cleans
9 handstand push-ups
3 cleans
12 handstand push-ups
6 cleans
15 handstand push-ups
6 cleans
18 handstand push-ups
6 cleans
21 handstand push-ups
9 cleans
Etc., adding 3 reps to the handstand push-up each round, and 3 reps to the clean every 3 rounds.
Men clean 185 lb.
Women clean 125 lb.
Teens 16-17: clean 115/75 lb.
Tiebreak
In this workout, we are using a special tiebreak method. Time should be marked after every third set of cleans (the last set before increasing the clean reps), i.e., after the third set of 3 cleans, after the third set of 6 cleans, after the third set of 9 cleans, etc. Whichever occurred last will be your tiebreak score.
Post reps completed to comments and/or register and submit your results as part of the 2015 Reebok CrossFit Games Open.

Join us Thursday at 5pm in the lobby to watch the live announcement of Open WOD 15.4. Josh Bridges and Scott Panchik will go head to head in this week’s latest Games workout.

My bet is on Box Jump Overs and Thrusters (ascending weight). That means we will see a chipper that starts with a calorie row, has a ton of bodyweight crap in the middle and end on something challenging if you can move fast enough to get there.

So many cool little moments tonight in the gym that left me fired up with a big smile on my face by the time I shut the doors. I witnessed, coached, and cheered a few snatch PR’s; taught some eager OnRamp grads how to hang power snatch; was thanked for prodding someone to redo 15.3 that yielded 8 muscle-ups; overheard some members making plans for drinks after the workout; modified a WOD for someone who is rehabbing an injury that left them completely happy to hold a barbell again; and was told by someone else just how awesome our gym, our community, and our coaches are. It makes me proud of our SRCF family and proud to be a gym owner. All in all it was pretty much a normal night, especially with Frank telling me I scaled my snatches today.

Once again congrats to all who joined the muscle-up PR club as we had a couple more today!

Recovery and nutrition are two areas often overlooked with maintaining and improving fitness. When you sustain an injury, recovery can derail you more than needed and drive you away from all sorts of areas that need focus while injured. Areas that are physical such as strength, technique or skill development in uninjured areas; and movement and mobility patterns. Other areas are rest, nutrition, and mental performance. If a minor sports injury should occur; take care of it, seek sound medical advice, and determine what areas you can still work and make progress on. Stopping all activity cold or pushing through it are often not the smart choice.
