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.

I was happy with this b/c I went to almost 20 minutes (have done 15 in the past) and did the pack scale (have done 2-4-6 in the past), but unhappy b/c I wish I had done more rounds. The pull-ups really kill me. Goal for next time = more rounds.
Rest day today.
Is there a certain number of minutes I should be aiming for? I feel like I’m either Pack or Porch, but can’t decide and would hate to alter the workout by making it unduly short.

5 rounds with 40 kg.
what if i past the minute? should i go on or take the next minute to go on with the next round.
because i reached the minute with 5 reps.

From what I saw last time, folks did around 8-10 rds at various weights. Some folks did 10+ as Rxd. SO if you look at it, you would do anywhere between 41-55 C&J in 8-10min.

If you do rx’d, rounds 9,10 and 11 are a 3:00 ‘Grace’ *after* doing 36 C & J.
If you make it through round 8 (8+7+6+5+4) you’ve done the equivalent of 5:00 grace with 6 as a warmup. note that the rest period decreases though…
Not sure what others think, but I would say pick a weight where you can get through 8 or 9 rounds..
To calculate the number you’ve done *after* a round:
TOTAL = #rnds * (#rnds +1) / 2
‘Wallball, Situps, Back extension’
Complete as many rounds as possible 20 minutes of:
10 Thruster 10kg dumbells
10 Incline Sit-ups
10 Good mornings (wish my gym had a back extension machine)
8 rounds.
I’ve been feeling for awhile that my bodyweight movements (pullups, pushups, dips and eventually muscle ups) are holding me back, witness the relatively weak performance on Cindy and Lynne over the last couple of days. I’ve made great strides from when I started Crossfitting, i.e. zero pullups to a peak of 11 pre-injury and now 7, but relative to other pack level athletes I feel my lifting is fairly OK but the bodyweight movements are still much weaker.
I’ve been thinking of approaching this by adjusting programming to something like “Crossfit Bodyweight Bias”, based on GD’s CFSB model. This would involve a 3 on/1 off cycle of:
pullup day with short metcon (focus on max sets and weighted pullups)
long metcon day
squat/deadlift day with short metcon
rest day
push day with short metcon (focus on pushups, dips and presses)
long metcon day
oly lifting day
rest day
Rinse and repeat.
Any thoughts on if this is the right way to approach things? The alternatives would be to 1) continue as is or 2) try to add some supplementary exercises to the regular programming. I’d be concerned on the latter approach of over-doing things and risking burnout.
Let me know what you think and I appreciate the input!
7 rounds ... Feels like I was doing one every 10 seconds, so by the 7th round I knew I was done. I was surprised how quick the workout was. I feel it though!
