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.


For those who kept complaining that CF didn’t include the bench press, I blame you for this.  doh

These days there’s dudes gettin’ facials, manicured, waxed and botoxed. With deep spray-on tans and creamy lotiony hands you can’t grip a tackle box.

Yeah, with all of these men linein’ up to get neutered it’s hip now to be feminized. I don’t highlight my hair, I’ve still
got a pair. Yeah, honey I’m still a guy.

Oh my eyebrows ain’t plucked there’s a gun in my truck. Oh thank god, I’m still a guy.

GD,
Do we bench at BX? I’ve only been at BX for 6 months but haven’t done any bench work. Is this something I should supplement at BX or over at Pete’s gym?

Bench is a fairly unfunctional exercise.  We do it when we have to.  About twice a year is enough.

3 rnds of CFWU followed by “Grace” 30 reps for time:
30kg Clean and Jerk (from the ground, to full squat)

Time = 8:41

First attempt at Grace, so was feeling my way through it.
Still had enough gas for the last 15 reps to speed up a bit, so probably could’ve gone a bit quicker on the first 15 and got the time down a little.

I only have one bar and need to sub rowing with SDHP. Due to a time factor of taking off and replaceing the weight, do you think 1 or 1.5 pood kb swings, SDHP with the same kb or loading up my curl bar and do SDHP with that????.......Just so we are clear I have not used my curl bar since starting CF….So I don’t want to hear about it!! talktohand grin

3 Rounds:
Run 400
21 KB Swings 1.5 pood
12 Pullups

9:44 (15 sec PR)

Felt good to PR.  Broke swings the 2nd and 3rd round at 14 for a brief 3-5 breaths.  Pullups unbroken.  Felt like I pushed the run reasonably well, but best of all didn’t have a character break on the run, which is fairly common for me.

Yeah I would just load up ya curl bar and use that for the sdhp. I only have 1 bar too so im gonna load up a dumbbell to weigh 20kg/45lbs and use that.

Quick question

If I were to sub KB swings for the SDHP then how many KB swings per 100m are applied… is it the sames ratio as SDHp i.e. 10 per 100m

Thanks in advance

It usually coincides with double under day . . . kinda suprised it wasn’t bench press/double under day . .

45lbs (20k) and 10 for each 100 meters, so it’s 50 sdhp for the 500 meters . . . . um, just like Heptonstall above did it . . .

The standard sub for those of us with no rowing machine is 45# (usually empty bar) and 1 SDHP = 10 m of rowing.

So 2000 m rowing is 200 SDHP (Thanks for reminding me of that shut eye .  I’m already feeling Pukie coming on. cry )
