I have been sore everyday since I started CrossFit.

Yeah, me too

 

 

See here.
<———————————————————————

The soreness wanes and waxes and moves around. From time to time, it doesn’t hurt to take an extra day or even week off.

Is there a list maintained anywhere showing the times when one should advance (or step down) a level on some of the timed WODs.

Take for instance my time of 31:59 on the filthy fifty (35) at pack level. Does a time this long mean that I should have taken it on at the puppy level instead of pack?

Hard to say.  I think of this as a 30 minute wod, as Rx’d.  So if next time, you hit 25 give or take, yeah, bump up, but let me tell you, it’s a big jump.

There’s no list, and there really can’t be (because of all the random), of when to advance on the wods.  Feel free to ask and someone will let you know if there is a goal time which is a good big dog time, (like for Fran, or Helen, 3-5 minutes and 10 minutes, respectively).

Buy in
2x
Inch worm walk, 25ft
2 Forward rolls
15 Lunges

ME Work
OHS (3RM=185)
[5@95;3@115;3@135;1@165 warm-up]
3@165
3@175 no steps this week
ONLY 1@190 not positive of depth either (current 1RM)
(3-4min rest b/w sets)
5min rest, then…
@145 attempt 15reps in a single set or 30reps total with 1min rest b/w sets
(a redo from last week because shifted weight to toes on too many reps); got 11,6,6,5,2

12min rest, then…

WOD (Kempie reminded me of this one!)
Task priority Fight Gone Bad
3 rounds of:
**20 wallball, 20# (9ft target, due to ceiling)
20 SDHP, 75#
**20 box jump, 24”
20 push press, 75#
20 calories on C2 rower
Rest one minute b/w rounds.
(used our shorter 25# bent curl bar + the 25# bumpers for SDHP and PP, for better control and to have a normal ROM for the SDHP – otherwise, with the metal plates, the bar is at my ankles.)
TIME=17:25 (4:55/1:00/5:10/1:00/5:20)

Overall results with this task priority format pretty much track with my regular FGB results; a tad over 100 for rd1 with rds2 and 3 lower.  As a solo CFer, this way is a bit easier to keep track of – I don’t have to keep glancing at a timer during an exercise.  Will say that this format forces me to do better on my weakest movements (that are sub-20reps in FGB) and allows me to push my strengths to gain time (movements that I can do better than 20reps/min).

Previous FGB (time priority):
3/30/2009=282 (103/93/86) exercises as above
11/12/2008=292 (105/97/90) exercises as above
9/8/2008=283 (106/91/86) exercises as above
6/26/2008=302 (109/97/96) exercises as above *BEST
3/20/2008=289 (107/92/90) exercises as above
7/26/2007=280 (100/92/88) exercises as above
12/19/2006=270 (98/86/86) exercises as above
9/18/2006=228 (84/76/68) exercises as above [between appendicitis surgeries]
10/11/2005=290 (106/95/89) [20inch box, 20# db thrusters for wall ball, and 45# SDHP for row]

@moltensilver9

thanks.

if rowing machine is available, it will be 100reps for 800m run?

I think you’re talking at cross purposes.

MS9 is talking about an ergometer style rowing machine, a C2 (http://www.concept2.com/us/default.asp) being the gold standard there.

You’re talking about a seated row I think. Quite different.

TP had some conversions he posted for seated rows. Maybe he’ll cover my lazy a** and dig it out for you.

OK, decided I shouldn’t be so lazy and searched for it. Here’s TP’s guesstimate. It sounds about right.
