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.

Pulls were chin to bar; pushes were beard to dirt; sits were unanchored; squats were to improvised log-target/ full RM, but as usual I’ve got no one to tell me if I fall apart at the bottom.
So, for women, porch and big dawgs are the same? Or am I misreading something (entirely possible since I’m in the midst of grading really bad freshman essays)?

As Metric stated last month on 090825: Yep!
“Yes, effectively there is no Porch. There isn’t always”
First time doing this/
As Rx’d(used 40 kg which is about the same i think):5 round. it was very hard on the grip of the barbel with the hang power clean.
What do you think is better less weight more rounds or as Rx’d less round???
This WOD asks for an AMRAP 20 - as MANY rounds as possible in 20 minutes. How many is enough? Best thing to do is take a look at the last time this WOD came up, and look at what the Big Dawgs posted. Then choose a scaling that you thing will allow you to get something like that number of rounds while taking as little rest as possible, without having anything left in the tank at the end. For this particular WOD I would try to aim at 10 to 14 rounds in 20 mins.
Just a litle quote from what TP posted last time this WOD came around:
This is a flat out hideous workout. There is nowhere to hide, nowhere to rest.
For time:
75 Pull-ups (2x10, then 5’s till 50 then 3’s and 2’s….still gotta work on these…plus gotta figure out how to raise the bar out here so I can use a full kip!!..7’ on these!)
100 Push-ups (3x10, then 5’s till 80, then 3’s and 2’s….6 min’s here…uggh. These were body to deck)
100 Sit-ups (4x10, then 5’s….these were on the ground flat, anchored, full ROM)
100 Squats (10x 10….as full ROM as I could without outside verification)
Time: 20:55.17
Last time (090506 I think) this was in like 17’ with 75 pullups, 50 pushups, 100situps and 100 squats…better luck tomorrow….Angie you still own me….but I’m gonna get ya!!
In August when we did this workout - I scaled down to 65 lbs and did 11 rounds. This time I did the workout as Rx’ed (95 lbs) and got 8 rounds in.
65lbs to 95lbs is a nice improvement, but I was hoping to get at least 9 or 10 rounds in.
What do all of you think? Is it an improvement?
I think that this is an improvement in the sence that your power output increased overall. However, I wouldnt have gone to as prescribed with your previous record at 65 #‘s being 11 rounds. You want to scale this so that you can get atleast 10 to 14 rounds. Next time Iwould probably go back to 65 #‘s and if you get above 15 then I would go as prescribed. Thats just my opinion, I am sure others will vary.
