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.
Also, is there a recommended rest time between each of the 10 cycles?
Avoid both failure and rest . . .
Sorry Mate, charge through as best you can. Like every other WOD, this looks brutal. Pick a scale where you use your rests to avoid failure. Make the rests short (like 3-5 seconds short), and get back on the bar or rings . . .
800m runs this morning, what a Great way to start the day. I missed that!!! Yeah, Spring!!!!
Jump Rope and Pose Drills to w/u (COS, Foot Tapping)
Ran out of time so only did three (Kind of have to be on time today, since we are doing an undocking…)
1. 3:22
2. 3:14
3. 3:29 - felt form start to fall off here. Gotta keep the mindful concentration going the whole time….
Taking a break from working out till Wednesday 1 April. Body needs rest and I must help my parents move to a new house. I wont be able to post my WOD times, ext. until the 15th of April because I am going on holiday and wont have internet access. Cheers for now.
on the road with crossfit - allergies, crappy hotel sleep, definitely not on the good diet….
this was my worst performance in a while.
puppy scale - pullups / dips 8 reps x 10
i did 7 sets, with the last two sets assisted….ugh this was TERRIBLE. no endurance, no strength….maybe too many M&Ms;in the office I was visiting?
I came in somewhere around 14 min…was so pissed off I ripped my watch off and threw it into the globo-mirror.
oh, and don’t forget those sh!tty pull-up bars with the “grip pads” that slip and slide and turn so you keep falling off the bar, ESPECIALLY if you try to kip at all…which makes them “slip pads” instead of “grip pads.”
off to business….and hopefully a better day’s eating.
5 rounds of:
10 weighted leg raises (2x5lb ankle weights)
10 sit-ups (bring elbows up to knees, feet stay planted; strange movement w/ left-arm cast)
4:10
Easier than I expected; I guess the sit-ups were easier because of the weights, actually. Next time I’ll do 10 rounds or something.
Sets in 10 min of: back-leg front, side and round kicks with both legs (6 kicks per round) with aforementioned 5lb weights
31 rounds, I think. I found it quite hard to count properly AND watch my watch and watch my form. Left side in particular was horrible when I wasn’t focused.
If I have time, perhaps tomorrow I’ll do rounds of ‘plank’ holds. What do you think? Holding something doesn’t seem that crossfit-ish to me, but it certainly raises the ol’ bp…
