Post time to comments.

Please hold questions and comments until Garddawg or BlueBugofJustice post the scaling, which usually includes links to exercise videos, common substitutions and other helpful information.

The mainpage of CrossFit directs new people here for help getting started CF can be confusing enough for a newbie, we want to make it as easy as possible for them.  We ask you to be courteous and thoughtful of the newbies. If they show up here for the first time and have to wade through 5-10 posts before we have a chance to scale for them, it can make it more difficult.

Answers to frequently asked questions can be found in the Beginners forum.

So about 3000 people come here each day to get the free scaling we do every night.  24/7, 365 days a year.  We rarely ask anything of our members or the people who come here.  Right now we are asking you to vote so that CF Kids can get a grant to teach CrossFit to kids from 1st through 6th grade.  It takes just a few seconds to text a vote.  We could have 3000 votes a day, if you all took a few seconds to text a vote in.  The highest vote right now after two days of voting is around 1000, we have 98.  I’ll post a few reminders please help..

‎CrossFit Kids has been accepted by Clorox as nominee for a 50,000 grant through Powerabrightfuture.com to have CFK implemented at a local school- here in Ramona the home of CFK HQ !
We have three weeks to vote EVERY DAY - PLEASE!
Voting has begun.3-2-1 VOTE ! Our code is clorox3829. I found the easiest way to vote is to use the “keyword search” option, search by “Crossfit” and the nomination pops right up! To text a vote….send the text to 44144 and list our code clorox3829 in the message.

30 Wall ball 14lb,
40m Farmers carry with 45lb BB

40m done as two circuits of cones 10m apart. Done with 2 BBs so I added/took off plates after each overhead walk.  Next time go for sub 15 or increase FW to ~60lb

Yesterday:
WU -
800m Run, 1 Rd of Cindy
ROM Drills, Shoulder Capsule Mob, Ext Rot SMR, Band Couch w/IR

Gymnastics:
- Accumulate 1 min in Tuck Planche (on parallettes)
Did it with bent elbows (not strong enough yet)
4 sets - 32s, 13s, 8s, 7s

L-Pullups 4x5 - 90 secs Recovery
Overhand x5/Underhand x5/Overhand x4 (fail on 5th)/Underhand x5

L-Pullups have gotten really weak since both shoulder injuries and haven’t been able to do them for ages because they cause too much pain but they are OK now although strength has really gone down. Its strange how they seemed to cause pain but kipping pullups, OHS, Snatches and dips caused no pain.

Parallette pass throughs 3x5 each side

Sprints:
4x200m - 3 mins recovery
Did this on my road which is on a hill so alternated between up and downhill
34.14s (uphill) - ERROR with timer (est 33s, downhill) - 33.64s (uphill) - 31.79s PR (downhill)
3 mins was a good amount of time, not quite full recovery but felt pretty good.

Cashout:
Strict Ring Dips 3x10 reps - 1 min rest
Hollow Holds 5x 30s on/30s off
Neck Bridge 30 reps
Finish with some co-ordination drills

Max weight dumbbell shoulder press, 5x5
1 - 50
2 - 60
3 - 70
4 - 90 x4, F on 5th
5 - 100 F, 90 x2, F, 80 x1

The 100 lbs dumbbell shoulder press still eludes me!  I really wanted it today but I think I went a bit too far too fast.  Yes JME, I got a bit ahead of myself red face Lesson learned.
