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.
back squat 80kgx3x3; 85x3x1; 87.5x2x1
split snatch 1,1,1,1,1 (30, 35, 40, 45*, 45) * form started to break down so I stayed at that weight(kg)
jerk press 45kg x5x1; 50kgx5x2
There’s no “grade”. That is, you’re not all pack or all puppies. Some days you’ll be a big dog, some days you wont.
Typically, the first couple months is an adjustment period where you’re getting data. Take note of your workouts and see how close you come to the “big dog” times listed by the main site.
See, you didn’t list your time. Now, 45lb thrusters won’t be a thing to you. But ... 50 of them will….. So if you took maybe 5 minutes longer than say 21-24 minutes, you’re within the window, I’d say.
But if it took you 45 minutes, then you need to scale back. When in doubt, faster is usually better at first, assuming this: form > consistency >intensity.
TP
Thanks, TP…the time was probably about 25-30 minutes, but technically I guess I didn’t do “all” the reps. Learning curve…and it’s getting there.

7 Rounds for time
7 x 135# Deadlift
7 x Tuck Pull-ups (sets 6&7 were assisted)
14-15 minutes…need to get a real timer, watch, or something!! 135 was a little lighter than I probably could’ve done…however I took TP’s advice and went a little lighter in hopes to a) complete ALL my reps and b) work on better form and a better time.

Smart phone user? There are free stopwatch and timer apps
Yeah, I know…and I’ve downloaded a few CF useful apps, but I’m using an older iPod for working out, and was trying to avoid using my phone for the stopwatch, timers, etc. It’s a fallback solution nonetheless…
