Finally got around to this one at open gym this morning. After stringing together 2 muscle ups for the first time, I struggled through the rest, finished up part 1 in 6:55. Worked on snatches a whole lot this morning so felt really good going into part 2. Minor hiccup on the first round of double unders, just couldn’t get them going! Made all my snatches and finished in 6:45. Total of 18:35 rx.

great 9am class. Mary thanks for the push. Almost dying after 45 modified ring dips should be enough for anyone to want to learn a muscle up!!
Logan- thanks for the encouragement and coaching on the snatches. Hope all my bitching won’t prevent you from coming back to coach at CFSP! Tyler just ignores me! Andrea you looked awesome during the photo shoot!

Paul that was all you, I merely reminded you of what you already knew. This WOD (well the 2nd half at least) was 100% mental for most people, myself included. This summer is gonna be crazy legit man. PRs will be flowing like milk and honey dude.

I can honestly say the only reason I got through today’s workout was because of Isaac. Missed my first three snatches at 135 but proceeded to go unbroken in the following rounds. So frustrated after the workout I had to pump out 10 reps unbroken at 135. First time I’ve felt really confident with my snatch.

Fun WoD: I think 13:3x Rx, but that could be 13:5x, can’t remember. Thankfully I didn’t miss a snatch.

First Crossfit workout: Fran. A coworker showed me crossfit.com and showed me the Fran workout. I remember thinking “That’s the whole workout? That’s only like 3 supersets of exercises (bodybuidling mind at the time)!” Did it at LA fitness and to my pleasant surprise it was horribly difficult – almost didn’t finish, felt sick the rest of the evening. I was hooked.

Fun WOD. Should have pushed harder on the snatches.

Why must there be math included in every WOD?! Am I the only person who’s brain completely shuts off halfway through? I’m pretty sure I gave Chris a totally bogus time for my workout. I think it’s right in my book though. Feel free to snoop. I’m off to the first grade to learn how to add now.

This is a very humbling WOD….lots of scaling, which means even more motivating to improve any number of skills….double unders, ring dips, muscle ups, heavy snatches….oh my.

My first work out was the backsquat/pushpress/burpees workout. My time this morning was 26? I think I rested for an extra minute or so because I was not paying attention… the jump rope and I don’t get along so well, but I am determined to have doubleunders down cold sooner than later.

One of my first WOD was the filthy 50…or more like the filthy 30/40-ish. It was pretty ugly! Buuuut I did the filthy 50 last week and went 3 minutes slower but did all 50 reps for all the movements with a higher box, heavier KB, some actual KTE (not all just tucks) and some actual DU, so pretty excited for that!
