right now i'm ranked around #340 of 600 in my region...but the scores being added later in the day are much worse than the scores already up top 60 heh yeah right. not going to happen especially since it's doubtful that muscle ups will make these WODs since they're not for "everyone". i smell a long met-con with wall balls coming up..

Nice job. I finally did it today and got 2.2 rounds cause of the damn double unders ![laugh1](/images/graemlins/default/laugh1.gif)
They are a bitch, although I am finally getting better. I got five in a row, that's a record for me. I'm going to be practicing every day from now on until I figure them out.

Beefbox I beat you by two reps, lol. I was just shy of 8 rounds by 5 reps, got 7 full rounds and all the way to 10 box jumps. Fucking hard workout! It kills me that I was so close to eight

11.3 Wod is gonna be tough. That is a pretty heavy weight for me, I think I can get a few rounds in, but it won't be pretty. I love squat cleans! I actually just did it an hour ago, got 17 rounds but I think I can get 20. I was so gassed that I couldn't take a breath on the way up from the bottom. I am liking this week's wod, it will probably eliminate a lot of folks since it's so strength based.

i just hope i get at least 10 reps. that's 20# over my bodyweight and i don't have efficient lifting technique
most i have ever squat cleaned is 155# (yesterday) but i have muscle cleaned 190# lol. the heavier it gets the more i just want to muscle it.
also, i can't hang clean for shit, so my technique from the ground is just to pull early.

Lol. I was going to be pissed if he got any amount of reps with that weight while being a noob. It's taken me a couple years to master the clean (as well as the snatch). It's a really precision movement that takes a long time to master. Keep practicing you guys!

did warmup/practice run today since there was no judging, but today's WOD was the 5 minute thing. tomorrow there will be judges
1st minute: 5 reps @ 133 then 3 reps @ 155, 2 reps @ 165, then called it a day
the worst part is definitely the squats
i think i can get 10 reps

I don't think anyone thinks your full of shit, just that you fell into what we call the crossfit trap... Just cause it don't look hard on the whiteboard............
With a few exceptions I think you'll find most of us crossfiters are pretty supportive.
LOL well I appreciate it, didn't mean to get all defensive. Good shit antess, I was really having a problem keeping rack on those squats @ RX hence why I kept dropping it yesterday when I tried it out. I was trying out every grip position possible to find it.
I think it's SUPER HARD going into a power clean, then going into the squat. best strategy for anyone is going to be in their ability to catch the weight at the bottom of the squat and thruster it up.

Yeah dude, I have beefbox's sentiments, the workout is always easy until you actually do it! Lol. Happens to me all the time, I always get my ass kicked whenever I think a wod will be easy. No one thinks you're full of shit, and I think I can speak for most of us here when I say that we support what you're doing and are proud another CSi'er has taken on crossfit. Keep up the good work man.
Nice job antness, I still think you could do more if you practiced them more often. I was going to try it again today but didn't because I wasn't feeling very strong on the cleans. Plus everyone else who repeated it at my gym only got 1-2 more reps so I pussed out.
So I did Diane again, pr'd by like 8 seconds or so at 4:07. And it's on YouTube! Watch if you so desire:

I was hoping to break the 4 minute mark, but for some reason I couldn't go unbroken on hspu's this time for some reason. Oh well, next time.
