In hindsight I should have went for the straight Pack work-out but pull ups and sit-ups are still rough for me. Even with this load I was down to doing sets of 2-3 of pull-ups on my last round but sit-ups I was still doing sets of 6 at the end. Great and terrible work out…CrossFitters aren’t on steroids but their work-outs are!!!!!
Hi - I’m new here and I’ve been lurking about a month, reading everything with a title like “start-up”, “part 1”, “how to”, watching videos, praciticing my squat form… These xfit sites are AMAZING - great job to everyone keeping the content and quality here!!!!!
Today—I did my FIRST WOD!!! And I did it!!!!
And you know what - these workouts feel like PLAY. Might be the influence of watching the kids videos too :-) (Had to figure out what a beginner pull-up was.)
Even my LEGS are shaking after this “shoulder” workout - yikes! Huge grin tho - this is FUN! My favorite has always been to compete against myself - this does the trick!!!
Puppies - 10/15/20 - 17:05 —Squats —Push-ups - wall, table, table - oops - not sure I could have made the counts w/a chair - I’ll have to try next time… —Pull-ups - beginner w/a little kipping - I think that’s OK… —Situps - I mocked up a GHB… An inverted door frame pull-up bar to hold my feet while I sit on a Swiss ball—no floor to bump into on the way down was nice. Seemed to do the trick…

You picked a hell of a workout to start. Way to go!
Pull-ups bogged me down pretty bad. Round 1 was unbroken. Round 2 was 20-10-10-10. Round 3 was 10-10-10-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5. A lot of time was wasted coming off the bar and shaking the arms out.
In hindsight I probably should have scaled the Pull-ups. Squats and Sit-ups were done unbroken. Push-ups were done unbroken in the first round. Round 2 was 35-15. Round 3 was done 25-20-15-10-5.
Puppies scaling
for time
10, 15, 20
squats
push ups
pull ups (gravitron)
sit ups (military)
10:51
at the begining of the workout I considered scaling up, but didnt due to time constraints. I*m glad I didnt. By the second set of pull ups I had to take several short pauses/ character flaws. Out of breath the whole time, good stuff!
