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.
Scaling please- still really new at this! I’m guessing lower the weights and the distance for rowing (or SDHP subs), right? Suggested reps/distance/weight for newbies would be appreciated- thanks!
Scaling please. There’s a whole group of us here above the Arctic Circle in Alaska that are new to Crossfit. We’re hooked already so thanks for the help. I also started voting yesterday.
**** Rowing subs - the most common sub is SDHP. I like subbing burpees as well. 300 M takes about 1 minute at a good clip so Big Dawgs sub 25, Pack sub 20, pups sub 12.
