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.

Fran, 5:30 class w/Darrick

Before: s/m, 3x: 100m run, 10 12# WB, tire jumps, 5 pullups, inchworms

21-15-9
43kg/95# thrusters (21, 10-5, 9)
Pullups (11-10 I think, 5-5-5, 5-4)
7:41 first time Rx’d

33/116

Hands are fine. Pullups actually slowed me down more than thrusters.

Voted online. Will text later and try and get wife and kids.

Is CrossFit.com willing/able to do anything to spread the word? I’ve checked over there a little bit and haven’t seen anything.

Monday 111107

Crossfit Warm up with 3 x 10 sit ups, pull ups, push ups and air squats

Mobility with hamstring and squatting

Pack but with heavier wall ball
Three rounds for time of:
30 Wallball shots, 20 pound ball (10.5 foot target)
45 pound Squat snatches, 30 reps (movement initiates with barbell below the knees)

15:59

Voted twice today and planning to vote with Wife’s phone later.

Still having problems with snatches as my ultimate poor form.  It is always a slow deadlift to standing then pulling with my arms to a half push press half jerk that looks really ugly-no fluidity at all.  Can do it with PVC on Buergener warm up but just can’t do the movement under any load.

Three rounds for time of:

35 pound Squat snatches, 30 reps (movement initiates with barbell below the knees)

19:44

On 110722 I did:

Dermanus - 22 July 2011 04:43 PM

Three rounds for time of:
30 Wallball shots, 10 pound ball (heaviest I have access to)
45 pound Squat snatches, 30 reps (movement initiates with barbell below the knees)

27:40

Wisely, I did less work this time. Failed to snatch twice, once due to squat depth (accidental power snatch) and once due to positioning (catching too far back). Unlike in July, I didn’t have to ditch the bar or bounce it off the wall to regain stability. Still spent way too much time sucking air.

Ordered 5 replacement cables for my jump rope.

Voted.
