With a continuously running clock do one 135 pound Clean and Jerk the first minute, two 135 pound Clean and Jerks the second minute, three 135 pound Clean and Jerks the third minute... continuing as long as you are able.
Use as many sets each minute as needed.

I don't usually like to copy and paste photos from the main site, but I thought this was great! It seems that some typical gym didn't like a few of its members actually getting in real workouts
at their facility. They see someone doing kettle bell or dumbbell swings, clean and jerks, or kipping pull-ups, and they assume the movements are not safe. That's the difference between a regular gym and a CrossFit gym. At a CrossFit gym, you're essentially getting a personal training session during each workout. If you're doing something wrong/unsafe, you'll hear about it. At a regular gym, you have to pay a trainer $50-$80/session for the instruction with only a small fraction of the workout.

Great pic Jason!
Did Murph scaled by 1/2 today. Time 30m something. Too tired to note the exact time. That was one of the hardest workouts so far. Surprisingly, the pull-ups were the easiest part.

Alright, you found it! I love that quote. It's definitely going up somewhere in the gym.
I didn't find the original source of the statement. It may be found in one of the Crossfit Radio shows. Like many famous quotes it may be apocryphal, or have been reworked in order to be "quotable." But it does encapsulate the goal of Crossfit well.
