Will there be a time limit? I can see myself taking up a whole half an hour to complete this.
scale the double unders
13:42 rx as in the games with 5 @111#…wow…humbled
Unless I scale my double unders, I could be there all night. I’ll need to channel my inner Joby.
why don’t we work on your double unders before/after? We need to stop the stomping action!
Good idea! Although, I hope it doesn’t mess with my tribal war stomping dance form that I’ve perfected.
Oh, look at that droopy belly = pushup fail!
Anyway, what’s the (female) rx weight for the snatches? I’m excited for this one, it has so many of my favorite things.
heavy enough where you can do a few consecutive reps
14:52 @ #89
Hats off to the SuperFit winners…not only did they do 3 WODs beforehand, they finished faster than me with heavier snatches…CRAZY. For all of you anxious about this one…I think the double unders are what get you…so keep your grip/forearm relaxed.
I think i figured out the reason I suck at double unders is because I’m actually doing triples with limited success
Yes you deff have the speed for triples but we gotta get you a nice tempo for your DUs.
Did you happen to find a pair of black snow boots left behind on Saturday?
Yes. They are still at the gym.
This will be my first WOD as an official member. I am arriving at 5:45pm and wonder if a current female member ( Elizabeth, Joelle, Lydia?) would be okie helping me out to make sure I do this right without my training wheels? Thanks 🙂
I’ll be there at 5. I’m not your best bet for assistance with double unders with my two ton feet. But I’m happy to do what I can to get you through it. Don’t worry — you’re well prepared after your on-ramp sequence. Training wheels off, you’re ready to ride!
To my fellow crossfit ladies, may I ask for your assistance tonight as this will be my first WOD without the training wheels on so-to-speak. I’m a little nervous. I will be joining the 6pm group tonight! yay
Aw Melly I’d normally be so so excited to help, but I’m actually going at noon today. TOMORROW night, however, is a different story 😉
I’ll be in at ~5:30 and would love to help you out when you get there!! Uh, I’m the one in the w.o.n.d.e.r.f.u.l picture above, if you don’t recall me. 🙂
Melly, I’ll be there tomorrow! We can muddle through together. I will also need the support.
PS. You’ll have to let me know how the box jumps are. We never got to that in our On-Ramp class.
Aw, I’m taking today off. But most days I’m around at 6.
12:05. 30 DU, 32″ box jumps, 25 lbs snatches. Scaled too much. Lesson learned.
First real WoD!
15:27, scaled to 100 really lame single unders, 25# snatches. 24″ box jumps (that was a bit too high)
Melly – you got nothing to be nervous about. It was a fun WoD. Jumping rope, for me, needs tons more practice.
13:35 as rx’d @ 111#
This WOD was tough. Box jumps were the bottleneck and I succumbed to my mind telling me to take longer breaks than necessary when I broke up the DU’s.
11:47 with 10 pushups instead of snatches.
13:04 100 SU, 18″, 25lbs
15:06, 18″ box and 20# snatches.
The scaling on this was tough to judge. In retrospect, I should have used the 24″ box but scaled the reps in half (18″ was just way too short and putting plates on the box scares me), and the 20# was too light for snatches but 25# too heavy… too bad there’s not a 22# dumbell or something like that. DUs were nice, though, got 41 consecutive during the first 50 which is a new PR.
So you Rx’d the double unders? You’re uber awesome!
Yes. It was the box jumps that were worrying me the most, really, which was silly.
14:34 Rx @ 111#
17:22, 10 strugglin’ du’s, 18″, 20#s
25:58 – scaled to 20 DU’s, 20″ (box+plate), 15#
Had to scale to 10 DU’s on the last round. I was almost getting the hang of it, but after 20+ minutes I needed to finish before it was time for the next class to start! Thank you, Fran, for spending so much time helping me get lighter on my feet. I WILL get there one day!
16:12 (25 du’s, 32″ box, 30# db)
15:09
rx’d box and dus, 20# snatches which were too light
That was great, yay for jumping around, metcon wods!
you kicked butt!
and agreed, maybe a little heavier on the weight!
30″ box and 45# 1-arm kb swings (each side) subbed for snatches. 13:31.
Getting lasik tomorrow, so I won’t be in for the next few days, at least. The upshot is that when I come back I shouldn’t have to deal with pesky glasses anymore–guess I’ll need to change my avatar. 🙂
Good luck. Although I’m sure at this point you can’t read this. I remember what it was like just living with my roommate when he had PRK. Not fun.
8:53 – 50 singles, 12″ box, 12# snatches
can up everything next time, but first real WOD!
I like your picture Bethany! Same sentiment, but I’m glad they let us scale it to take the nerves away. 7:29 – 3 rounds of 100 single unders, 20 box jumps and 10 single arm snatches w/ 10lbs.
This one kicked my butt! but I actually did it as prescribed and full double Under’s
first for everything
20:06 (#20)
17:38 Rx – 25# – would rather do barbell next time
17:55 20 double unders, 20″ box, 12# snatches.
First WOD! 10:43…100 SU, 12″ box, 5lb snatch (really wanted to use 10lb, but I can’t seem to stop using my arms!)
