It is a very nice commodity to have someone next to you giving you support when you are giving a workout your all. However, not everyone has that luxury (although many of us will soon!) Here is a poem I found online (I'm not sure who wrote it) that goes out to all of you who push yourself so hard even when no one is watching...For I crossfit alone,
I must go it on my own.
Pointed at and misunderstood,
by those who wish they could.
I push the limits of my body
and the limits of my mind,
and leave all of the common folk,
and all the like behind.
Few do come to follow me,
but who would want to try.
when the outcome is a workout,
one that makes you want to die.
But if your will is iron,
and your mind is keen and strong,
then together we will conquer all,
and prove the common wrong!

"Filthy 50"
For Time:
50 Box Jumps (24")
50 Jumping Pullups
50 Kettlebell Swings (35#)
50 Lunges
50 Knees to Elbows
50 Push Press (45#)
50 Back Extensions
50 Wall Ball Shots (20#)
** You can replace Wallballs with Thursters (45#)
50 Burpees
50 Double-Unders
Yup, even some guys from Muscle and Fitness Magazine recently checked out Crossfit. I bought that month's mag and the article on Crossfit was one of the only ones in it with no curls, no swiss balls, and no steroids...

Any ideas for knees to elbows & double under substitutions?
Miguel,
If you have a pullup bar, you can do knees to elbows. Just reach your knees up as high as you can. But sit-ups could be a sub (make sure you put a rolled-up sweatshirt or something under your lower back).
For double-unders, replace them with tuck-jumps. Jump and tuck your knees high into your chest.
Good luck completing the filthiest of workouts!
I love this workout! Looking forward to an intense morning.
the looks on ashleigh's and tim's faces are classic.
Filthy Fifty: 33:10
Modifications:
-Did across the street, so could only use my 10# dumbbell for kettlebell swings.
-18 in. box jumps.
-Knees to Chest--hardest part! really broken
-Subbed supermans for back extensions,20# thrusters & push press, & tuck jumps for double unders.
This was the closest I have ever come to meeting pukie =) Really need to work on my form too, but overall I was satisfied because I felt like I really pushed myself. Great workout!
Oh my god. Romantic date number 4 with pukie, here I come...

As far as the article link, if you click on Mike Cooper's Name two comments up from this one, it will take you there.
