SCALING WEIGHT
Use a weight that's manageable to you, or use a percentage of the weight prescribed.
Assume the "generic" male CrossFitter weighs 175 and the prescribed weight is 95 lbs.
Thus, you'd pick a weight that's approximately 55% of your bodyweight.

CF WODS FROM THE MIND OF EUGENE ALLEN
CrossFit Pierce County workouts are broken down into 5 different categories based on
how long the workouts in that section take to complete. The briefest and most intense
workouts take up to 3 minutes to perform and fall under the heading Explosive. Our
Short workouts take from 3 to 10 minutes, Medium 10 to 20 and Long from 20 to 45
minutes. Workouts that take longer than 45 minutes to complete are called Epic.
WARM-UPS
Yellow Rain
Line up 3 or more slam balls, sand filled basketballs, rocks whatever you have laying
around that you can throw into the air…safely. The name Yellow Rain for the exercise
comes from the fact that I use yellow slam balls and once this gets going it is raining
yellow balls. The obvious “Keep a lookout for falling objects” warning is in effect. You
can start with everyone on a ball or start from one end and you can go for time (I usually
go 2 minutes) or for some set number of throws. We push press the ball, underhand
throw the ball (both for height) and slam the ball going all the way through however
many balls are out with each type of throw before switching.
This drill gets its name as an outgrowth of how stupid Person in the Middle sounds.
You’ll need some medicine balls (both Dynamax and slam balls work best here) and a
group of 3, 4 or 5 people. The idea is that each of the people outside the circle pitch the
ball they have to whoever is in the middle. The man in the middle then push presses,
underhand throws or slams the ball depending upon which kind of ball is thrown or what
pre-arranged throw order is decided. The person feeding the slams will throw the ball up
from underneath so the man in the middle can “catch” the ball with his hands on top and
go directly to the slam. With 4 people go for 4 minutes switching out whoever is in the
middle every minute.
Two people stand on opposite sides of a plyo box or 4 opposite one another around a
tractor tire with one medicine ball per pair. Slam the ball and go down and get it on the
bounce. Stand and go to a squat clean and stand with a thruster/wall ball type throw the
ball to your partner. Once rid of the ball jump onto the box/tire. Your partner does the
same exercise and throws to you just before he jumps. Time, reps, Pukie arrival, you can
choose your poison.
1
We use 6, 8 and 10 Valeo Balls (rubber medicine balls with a bit of a bounce – look for
them on Ebay) and run a quarter mile throwing the balls ahead of us. We use one less
ball than we have people so that whoever is without the ball runs to recover and throw the
next ball thrown. The throws are chest throw, underhand facing forward, and backwards
over your head. Throw as high and as far as you can, minimize the amount of roll with
your throw.
Get in a circle with 3 or more people and use the Valeo balls. Use one less ball than you
have people. Do a ball slam as hard as you can for as much height as you can get and
turn quickly to your right (if throwing clockwise) to catch the ball being bounced at you.
Go for at least 2 minutes.
No time thing here, just go up over the cargo net, up and down the 45-degree rope ladder
and up and down the rope. We do each one twice.
Jump up to the pull up bar and do a pull-up, then roll up knees to elbows. If the bar is
open at the top and you have the room you can add a pullover. You can also do a burpee
at the start so that you do a burpee – jump up – pull up – roll up – pull over. Many
people have difficulty with the pullover and the trick is to do the upside down pull up as
high as possible so that when you drop your feet over the bar the bar is at least at your
waist if not higher. Don’t just flop down to lower yourself, do a controlled descent in an
L-sit.
Slam Toss
Partners face each other with a 30 lb slam ball. One will slam the ball and the other will
catch it on the bounce and then stand and toss it a la wall ball back to the slammer. Don’t
stand and then throw, instead come up out of the squat and launch the ball with your legs.
The slammer will slam and the tosser will toss for 10 reps each and then switch so that
the slammer tosses and the tosser slams. You can also go for a minute and switch if you
prefer to go by time.
Tire Rotation
2
Put slam balls of different weights around a big tire. Do Ball Buster, Ball Slams, Rage
Ball or some other slam ball exercise for 1 or 2 reps each and then rotate for some
number of times around. At the end of each slam jump on the tire before the rotation and
make sure the jump comes up out of the crouch from the slam.

Mae West consists of the above 8 stations and exercises listed. The only change to
the regular Ball Buster explained in the first section is that at the at the end of the exercise
while still partially in a squat from the slam, jump up with one foot on each tire or both
on one tire if you prefer. Reps are shown and are designed so multiple people doing the
exercise will finish in about the same time and rotate together. With the KB Clean and
Jerk, DB Thruster, Colleen and Jerk and Snatch you do a jump on the tire at the end of all
the reps. With the DL, Ball Busters, and Clean it is after each rep…you will notice this
changes from exercise to exercise so that with every other exercise you switch from
jumping after each rep to jumping at the end of the set of reps.
This can be done for 2 laps around at a leisurely pace as part of a warm up or 3 or
more times around at high intensity as a stand-alone workout. You can adjust the loads,
laps and reps to create the desired training impact.
Over Unders
Set out your weight bench and simply jump over it and then crawl underneath, stand and
repeat. You can go for a minute and see how many you can do or do 10 or 20 of them
3
for time. Either way you will find that the rapid and continuous change of height will get
you breathing hard and warm you up quickly. You can string this together with other
movements in a sort of obstacle course as a warm up which is great fun.
EXPLOSIVE
The workouts in this section should take less than, or at least very near 3 minutes to
perform and should be executed at maximum intensity for the duration of the workout.
These components are generally done as part of the warm up or as part of a larger
workout.
Greg and Lauren’s little girl is Colleen and in her honor Greg came up with the Colleen
and Jerk which is a dumbbell hang squat clean and three jerks. Feel free to add a burpee
4
at the beginning to make it a little harder. Adjust the reps and weight as necessary but 10
rounds for time with 35 lb dumbbells is a good place to start.
Road Rage
Put one slam ball on either side of a tractor tire (250 lbs or so) with one far enough away
to not be in the way when you flip the tire. Start with the ball closest to the tire.
Ten rounds:
Burpee with hands on the ball
Stand with the ball to a squat clean
Stand again and press the ball overhead
Slam the ball
Jump on and off the tire
Flip the tire
Jump into the tire and out the other side
Next rep is with the other ball
Ball Buster
Ten rounds:
Burpee with hands on the ball
Stand with the ball to a squat clean
Stand and throw the ball into the air wall ball style
Catch the ball the press it back up
Slam the ball
Ten rounds:
Two-hand KB swing with flip and catch
At the bottom of the swing do a Sumo DL High Pull
Release at the top and squat under to catch in a full squat by the bell
Stand and throw the bell up wall ball style
Catch by the handle and lower to begin the swing cycle again
2-Minute Drill
5
You have no more than 2 minutes of maximum intensity effort before your performance
begins to degrade dramatically…in fact, if you are truly giving it all you have you may
not get to 2 minutes. Pick 5 exercises, for example power clean, wall ball, pull-ups, KB
push press and KB snatch and go through the list of exercises individually doing as many
reps as you can in 2 minutes with a 2 minute rest in between. With an even number of
people one can do the work while the other rests and counts reps. Change the exercises,
change the rest time, change the number of exercises modify this any way you want to
get the time or work effect you are after.
Jumping Pullups
Burpee Hops
Put a DB in each hand, light ones – 20 lbs is plenty. Do a burpee (every time I say
burpee in this text the pushup after you kick your feet back is assumed) and after you
stand back up do a broad jump as far as you can. Do this for a specific distance rather
than a number of hops in order to promote max effort jumps. Twenty yards or so is
tough, thirty or more is a killer. A hard sprint at the end of each direction is most
rewarding. Thank Dave Werner of CFN for this one.
500 meter row for best time ever. Climb aboard the never-lies-to-you C2, strap in, set
your jaw, set it for a 500 meter row and blast away for your fastest possible time.
Get a pair of 44 lb kettlebells and set them at your feet. Do a burpee with your hands on
the KB handles, kick your feet back up and clean the bells to a full squat and then shoot
up with a thruster. Repeat for time, reps, dizziness…whatever.
Bad Tire
Grab a 10 lb sledgehammer and beat your tractor tire into submission with 100 hits as fast
and has hard as you can. No gravity drops here, max effort slams each time. Swing the
hammer with both hands together near the end of the handle and recover it by catching it
on the bounce and sliding your hand up near the hammer head. Switch sides with each
swing. Just like ball slams get a bit of a jump into each hit.

SHORT
These workouts are in the 3 to 10 minute range and though not executed quite as
explosively as the workouts in the previous section still require a very hard effort and as
much intensity as possible while maintaining form and complete range of motion. I’ve
taken the liberty of continuing the girl names to the end of the alphabet.

MEDIUM
Workouts that take from 10 to 20 minutes fit into the medium category. As the time
component increases the intensity component is tempered a bit in order to be able to
complete the workout. Still the objective is to have a fast time (while maintaining proper
form) and you have to go hard to do that.

LONG
When the workouts go from 20 to 45 minutes in length we consider them long workouts
and try to get in about one of these each week. The effort level remains high but must be
adjusted based on individual fitness in order to be able to complete the workout. Don’t
go out too hard or you might not be able to finish.

EPIC
We do the Epic length workouts 2 or 3 times a month and to fit into this category the
workout must take 45 minutes to an hour to complete. It doesn’t take this long simply
because you’re dogging it, but because there is just that much work to be done. You go
hard and rest minimally but you will spend some time with your hands on your knees.
