As prescribed as in 100 pull ups first then 200 push-ups then 300 squats? I was trying to figure out if that's how you were supposed to do it because I had some people tell me that was officially how it was supposed to be done, but online it sounded like you could just split it up how you'd like. That obviously would've made it take longer. I also didn't do it with the 20lb weight vest.

Yes as Prescribed is technically 100 pull ups first then 200 push-ups then 300 squats WITH a vest. I didn't have a vest and I don't feel I'm ready for that yet...but you are also correct, breaking them up any way you can to get through is encouraged so people do it and don't shy away from it.

Crossfit's main site always writes it as "partition the reps as needed", doing them straight through isn't the official standard. "If you have a vest, wear it"

It was fun though either way. Literally dripping sweat the same way I would've been after doing an hours worth of cardio when I was like in my 2nd or 3rd round of the pull-ups/pushups/squats.

If I can get under 30 without the vest maybe I'll try and get lean (got a solid 15-20 pounds I could lose) and hit it next year when everyone does it, with the vest.

I guess I was just going by what my Box typically does for Murph...they do "Rx" as straight through but also give different strategies to break them up to those who want to. The beauty of the workout is no matter how you do it you are totally taxed after and feel super accomplished...even though some methods are "easier" than others...it's never easy...lol

It's not a 20 lb weight vest.

It's a 40 lb plate carrier...

If you want to do it "correctly"
