Ok, judging from this picture, its time to let someone else do the daily postings for a while.

Who invented the DCF Newbie WOD?
Name the affiliate and trainer.
Post the correct answer today and I'll send you a new, badass, 20lb Leather Medicine Ball from the Garage Gym Store. (one guess per person)

I'll post a hint today at 9AM.

Diablo Crossfit was well represented, as usual, we've got some great athletes in our box. Nice pic.

RE: Craig
John Gilson, Again Faster?
Posted by: Stavros@DiabloCrossfit at October 21, 2008 7:24 AM
Stav. Nope. Both are incorrect.
However, I will say that you made a good guess.
Tip coming at 9:00AM
Posted by: Craig at October 21, 2008 8:41 AM
My guess is:
Andy Petranek, Petranek Fitness (aka. Crossfit LA)
Posted by: Mark L. at October 21, 2008 8:53 AM
Isn't the full name "DCF Newbie Wod"? My guess is it was started at Diablo Crossfit!!
Posted by: Mike Erickson at October 21, 2008 9:02 AM
Mark: Sorry, wrong and wrong. Not a terribly bad guess.
Andy's model does include an introductory class workout. Not sure what it is, however.
Posted by: Craig at October 21, 2008 9:23 AM
Mike E. - as brilliant as we are at DCF, most of our ideas are unoriginal...thank you for the compliment, however.
Posted by: Craig at October 21, 2008 9:24 AM
Strong work this morning at the Shed we did heavy Deadlifts, trying to find the one rep max:
Carry 215lb
Donna 175lbx2
July 305lb
Doug 315lb
Todd 225lb
Awsome work from all see you on Thursday
Posted by: luca z. at October 21, 2008 9:27 AM
Tip..sorry for the delay:
I learned this workout from the owner of an East coast affiliate who now has two locations.
Posted by: Craig at October 21, 2008 9:36 AM
Andy's benchmark (called "Baseline") is:
500m Row
40 air squats
30 situps
20 pushups
10 pullups
Not quite what you were looking for, but the best I could do with Google search terms. =)
Good luck, everyone!
And great job on the new deadlift PR, Carry (I think 195 was your previous best?)
Posted by: Mark L. at October 21, 2008 9:43 AM
Interesting, Mark. Wonder how long Andy's "baseline" has been around? There are no original ideas anymore.

HA! So top secret that even my wife doesn't know. Nice try, Yvonne. Wrong & wrong.
Another tip coming at noon today.
Posted by: Craig at October 21, 2008 10:08 AM
Hey! Is that cheating?
Posted by: Mark L. at October 21, 2008 10:09 AM
Nevermind. SHE WAS WRONG AND WRONG! =)

For a new Garage Gym Wall Ball (black leather - 20lb):
Who is the source of the DCF Newbie WOD? (Affiliate & Trainer)
Tip #2: I met this trainer & affiliate owner at the CF Oly Certification in June, 2007.
New tip at 3PM.
Posted by: Craig at October 21, 2008 12:08 PM
TIP #3: He's in this picture: http://www.crossfit.com/mt-archive2/BurgJuneGroup.html
Ahh, the wonders of Google. Not that a picture is going to help though =)
Posted by: Jared R. at October 21, 2008 2:43 PM
Good one, Jared. He is in that picture!
TIP #4: This person was interviewed with me and a couple of other affiliate owners while at the Oly Cert and we made the CF website (more than once).

I know the answer...
Posted by: Stavros @ Diablo CrossFit at October 21, 2008 3:30 PM
Come on, people! I'm about to pee my pants! Somebody answer!
Posted by: Mark L. at October 21, 2008 4:00 PM
So... if I said Dave Picardy from North Shore Crossfit, MA......would I be right? The answer just came to me ;)
Posted by: Jasmine at October 21, 2008 4:10 PM
My only question to you, Jazz, is:
Do you want the 20lb, 15lb or 10lb ball?
Nice team work.
Yes, Dave Picardy from NSCF in Topsfield & Beverly, MA, is the originator of our DCF Newbie WOD.

Today was a DEAD LIFT PR day for Donna! She did 175lbs twice! Her previous max, I believe was 140lbs! Luca knows how to push :)
Posted by: Carry at October 21, 2008 4:42 PM
First of all... I would like to say congrats to Donna and Carry for stellar deadlifts! Second of all... my legs are STILL SORE from the wall ball squats on Sunday- and so I can't understand how anyone could possibly want a medicine ball as a prize! ;-)
Posted by: Shannon Stornetta at October 21, 2008 4:49 PM
Carry's best was 185lb, but she was sandbagging big time, even this mornng she only wanted to go up to 195lb, and after what I saw on Sunday Shannon is right behind her, with Donna not to far behind.
Posted by: luca z. at October 21, 2008 5:06 PM
Was that a PR for Doug as well? Todd? Julie? (by the way....Julie is super fun to work out with)
Posted by: Carry at October 21, 2008 5:21 PM
I saw on the board that Julie did a 305 DL? wow, I can't wait to see her an an affiliate challenge. What a great addition to the DCF Family.
1600 hrs workout
Complete as many rounds as possible 20 minutes of:
95 pound Thruster, 5 reps
95 pound Hang Powercleans, 7 reps
95 pound Sumo Deadlift High-pull, 10 reps
Darren- 11 2/3 RX'd
Stavros- 11 2/3 RX'd

Posted by: Stavros @ Diablo CrossFit at October 21, 2008 6:14 PM
weird. this whole weekend i was only getting up to thursday's posts. hm.
i need to go to your class, luca! i PR'd two days ago at 175# and 180# just wouldn't budge. then again, kaela was screaming at the top of her lungs and it wasn't words of encouragement.
did yesterday's wod but scaled to 55#. 10 2/3. i know i could have gone rx'd but i was scared of dropping metal weights on the garage floor.

Check out CF santa clara's website...
Posted by: Rick at October 21, 2008 8:45 PM
Oh man. I feel like my girlfriend cheated on me! I was actually sad when I saw that pic.
Well, Rick, you're training with the best, frankly. Kahlipa is the man. We expect to hear about all their secrets.
Kill 'em bro.
Posted by: Craig at October 21, 2008 8:52 PM
Craig...
Jaz said she wants a 20lb ball...
Posted by: Stavros @ Diablo CrossFit at October 21, 2008 9:02 PM
Hmm. Jaz wants a 20lb ball, eh? Well, I'm going to order it up, but I'm also going to verify that order in person with her.
