Re: November [censored] thread
Q1: Would it be useful to practice form for a beginning weight training routine with a broom handle or do I need an olympic bar to learn good form?
Q2: How can I practice deadlift form with just the bar? Set up blocks at approximately the height the bar would be with 45s? I plan to do a basic Overhead Press/Deadlift/Squat routine 3x week. I will prob. alternate DL and Squat days once I work up to lifting heavier weights.

1) Broom handle is good. 2) Yes, blocks or those Olympic plates. [/ QUOTE ] have you seen those plywood cutouts in the shape of 45# plates that help teach proper technique? they are pretty sweet for beginners and/or women and children. brag (but not a very good one) PR'd CF WOD "Cindy" today! Cindy is 5 pullups, 10 pullups, 15 squats as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes. 23 rounds! i died barely getting 13 rounds in march when i first tried it. this was a grind, but i still had a ton of gas left after laying on the floor for ten minutes to recover. later.

Re: November [censored] thread
For all you cottage cheese freaks who (like me) can't stand it plain, I recommend combining it with some dried figs and throwing it in the blender for about 10 seconds. Quite tasty.

[/ QUOTE ] JB 23 rounds is sick. I just tried this for the first time: Finished 14 in 20:07. Did my first 10 in 11:23 then rested for 4 1/2 minutes. Then did the last 4 for total of 14. I was shooting for 15..I started running out of time because I rested too long after the tenth. Only real muscular fatigue I felt was the last set of pushups but I was sweating like a pig. With better time management I think I can do 16-18 ..23 rounds is tough. How often do you do this workout? btw when you do rest in between sets do you ever drink any water or is this frowned upon ..I wanted to but didnt.
