Crossfit Victories

Last weekend I competed in my first CrossFit competition. Finished 5th, in the scaled men division.
PR front squat 250lbs x 4 reps.0 -
I jumped on the 24" box! When I started CF a little over a year ago I fell doing a box jump and I landed in a pile of dumbells that I had put next to my box for the weight sit ups. Needless to say it really shook me up and I refused to try anything higher than 16"...until Monday. Not sure I could do 24" in a WOD, but I am definitely going to try 20" at the next WOD with box jumps.0

PR'd my strict press, power clean, and my # of linked dubs this week (up to 35).0
-
I did my first pull up today!
Can't do the kipping ones yet. But I'm so proud of my 1!0 -
Yesterday I was finally able to do toes to bar instead of knees to elbows. Small victory, but still roud of myself. When I started that bar looked so far away.0
-
PR'd my dead lift this week! 165 lbs. Pretty excited to see some improvement!0

Wow - lots of victories this weekend! How awesome! Instead of commenting on each one and hogging the thread, here's the cheerleader shout-outs because that is exciting
Congratulations to FloEd for the box increase - I finally graduated to a tire higher than a modified little box, so this has to be huge for you lol.
Congrats bananapancake - I can't wait until I can do a "real pullup" unassisted You absolutely should be proud!
That is awesome mollieprice33 - it's a huge victory - I'm at toes to maybe knees and sometimes elbows hahahaa.
Finally, rachelanne that is kickass! I love the strength stuff, so any increase in weight you feel like a frickin supergirl - love it
________________
My own "victory" I guess was our coach/box owner's 40th birthday was yesterday and he created an insane WOD for us special on Sunday (they're usually closed)
Cutoff 40 mins
19 pullups
40 thrusters
40 box jumps
40 kb swings
40 lunge steps
40 OH squats
40 toes to bar
40 push press
40 burpees
40 wallballs
40 pushups
73 double unders (219 singles)
I was happy I did the Rx weights at 55# for thrusters, OH squats and push presses and 35# for KB swings. Modified pullups, tire "box jumps" and my toes to bar were more toes to knee/elbow (UGH) but all in all I was pleased to get through 33 pushups before cutoff, so all i needed was 7 more pushups then the double unders (or singles). Considering only 8 out of 30 people actually finished, I am absolutely okay with this since I only started in mid-December
Happy Monday!0 -
I did my first DU and handstand this weekend. my goal is to be able to do HSPU by summer, even if its just one! OH, and I did 5 pull ups in a row (with a band).0

Graduated from jumping on a tire to jumping on a box today! yesssssssssssssssssssss 0
-
Last night my Deadlift 3RM was actually my old 1RM! that truly impressed me. 125lbs x 3 baby!0
-
I did the 30 inch box jump 5 times in a row today! I was pretty stoked, I usually do the 20 for wods since I'm a woman but have jumped on the 24 a bunch of times but the 30 always scared me. Did it on my first try!0
-
Beat my Deadlift 1RM with my 3RM max today - super psyched 0
-
Not a huge accomplishment since I am only in ramp. But, I conquered one of my fears last night. i am a 300+ lbs guy and anything hanging from the bar had me worried. We worked on the kipping movement and K2E. Not that I could get my knees past my waste, but I was able to sustain and hold myself up for a prolonged time. It doesn't sound like much but I tried this a little over 2 months ago and could not retain my grip and my elbows felt like they were going to break. Little step, big Victory!1

30 inch box scares me but I have nailed the 24 so maybe I should try too - just hate the thought of scraped legs!I did the 30 inch box jump 5 times in a row today!

I managed 1 x DU for every 5 x singles - for 7 minutes this morning - yeah baby! it's all in the bounce!0

we did a double annie yesterday, so 50-40-30-20-10-20-30-40-50 Double Unders/abmat sit ups
I'm finally back at crossfit after almost 6 months off with an encapsulated shoulder/bursitis & broken toe. I was surprised at how well I did. I managed to string together all my double unders until my very last set of double under (50, got the first 22 then it was all mental and I kept tripping over my feet)
It was a little slower than my usual annie time, but I'm still happy with it.0 -
Got a power clean PR last night. 260 lbs. He said if I would use more technique instead of power I could lift way more. Maybe next time, still gotta learn Olympic lifting. Then we ran 400 meters and 7 power cleans with 70% of your max for 3 rounds.0

After 8 months of CrossFit, I finally got an unassisted pull-up! Took me that long. I can string together 3, kipped. In that same week, I also got my handstand push-up (with a kip). The Open has pushed me ot do more. Love it!
I can't figure out DUs. I was doing them decently for a while - up to 15, and now I can barely do 1. Hmmmmmm. Keep practicing.0 -
Nice work, the DU will comeback with a little practice0
-
Started Crossfit in Nov and I'm totally hooked! Yesterday I did a new 1 rep max PR on deadlift of 255 lbs! YES!0
-
WOW! that's awesome! only been going 5 months but I know how hard those are to do!!! Great job!0
-
Don't take away from yourself what a great step this is!! GREAT job and keep it up! Can't do more than about 10 knee ups on the bar myself w/o my hands being on fire--keep it going!!0

I'm torn about this victory - I feel great that I finally got to write Rx on the board for a WOD. But it was only for an AMRAP of slam balls at 15kg (women). It was my first attempt at doing a slam ball activity with 15kg and I was happy to get it done, but almost everyone Rx'ed so it feels a bit like a cheat victory.0
-
Ninja jumps!0
-
PR'd my squat cleans and my deadlifts this week by 20 pounds each. When I started almost a year ago my hip mobility was so bad even doing squat cleans with a 35 pound bar almost made me cry. Now I'm doing double that amount.0
-
Finally got DUs0
-
