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.
Today, everyone is a Big Dawg! Do the WOD as RX’d. If you are unfamiliar with the movements watch the videos and then use a weight that will allow you to do the WOD.
First to post! well after the instructions and stuff. Have fun today guys. Hope to see alot of PR’s today! including myself.
I am in Birmingham,AL (I’m from nashville TN) this week for work. And I went to do yesterday’s WOD at a local affiliate. Richard was great. Don’t you just love the crossfit community? He took me over to Wright Weight and Equipment which is located locally. I picked up a set of bumper plates (45/25/15) for my garage gym for $1.20 a lb. Pretty good deal I though. And no shipping! 3-2-1 GO! This should be great for the WOD today.
SP 135, 155, 165F, 165PR, 155
PP 145, 155, 165PR, 175F, 175X2
PJ 135, 145, 150PR, 155x4 #5 went up, I started staggering, it came down, doesn’t count.
Every once in a great while the planets will line up. Day after day of pushing and struggling through the WOD I will have a day like I had today. 3PR’s. This makes it worth it. This is why I train.

Congrats!
Isn’t it crazy? One day I’ll be beaten like a rented mule, with the WOD crashing down all around my ears then the next day viola!
Pulled in a million directions. So will have my training session with the trainer at the gym tomorrow. Depending on how I feel after that. I may do Back squats wod to work on form.
Gonna have to modify this today… no free weights available. Just a multi-use home gym, pullup/dip/knee raise station, and a treadmill. I think even Rocky had more to work with!!

I feel like I’m really behind, but it’s kind of good to be a few days behind, right? I keep feeling some discouragement coming on just because I’m doing the workouts by myself. Thanks to everyone who posts here….it helps to keep me accountable and guilty if I feel like skipping a day. You would think it would be easier to do the workouts at home (when possible), but for me it’s harder. If I go to the gym, I am there to do something. When I’m here at home there are too many other things I could be doing. Anyway, I did do a workout at home today.
Pack/porchish
90 assisted pullups
90 dips on chair

I’m anxious to get to the squats and shoulder press/push press/push jerk to see if I can gain some PR’s. Will keep you posted. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
