Hey everyone! I just wanted to share that I did my first handstand EVER today. It may not sound like much, but to me, it's a sign that I'm getting stronger and braver. I'm not letting fear stop me from trying things I want to try. I'm growing and accomplishing more than I ever thought, and each new acquired skill takes me one step further towards my goals!
What's your personal milestone??

That is great, congrats! For me Ive had bad rotator cuffs for years and couldnt even play catch with my kids. Recently I was able to do 15 pullups in a row. Good day for me0 -
Oh man, that's rough! Great work! I'll be peeing myself the day I can do a real pullup!0

Congratulations that's awesome!
I started CrossFit a week before Christmas. Today I had my first Rx, I was frickin psyched
Granted there was not much room for modification in the WOD anyway, but I will TAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!! It's nice to see it on the whiteboard!
Goals I'm striving for:
Double Unders
Regular Pullup
50 burpees under 4:20 (right now I'm consistently at 4:35ish)0 -
I got over my fear of 20 inch box jumps last week. I hurt myself doing box jumps earlier last year, and had a mental block about them... until last week. Yay!0

Good for you! I start getting nervous about box jumps around 8" from my max height0 -
For some reason I was afraid of double-unders, until our WOD last week called for 50 in each rep of a WOD for time. I surprised myself by being able to do as many as 10 in a row!
My goal is a pull-up but I think I'm a very long way off. I'll keep you posted!0 -
I did 20 pull-ups today with the purple band!!! I also didn't finish last in a WOD for once, did hang cleans and thrusters with #55 (was just using the bar before) and I got my first battle wound. A HUGE bruise on my thigh from hangs cleans.
Goals by then of Feb
Deadlift 115#
OHS 55# (last time I had to do them with the pvc pipe = / )
1 MU
30 straight toes to rings
1 toes to bar
might try and move up height on my box jump...kind of scares me though0 -

How close are you to that muscle up? That one is going to take me a while. For me the OHS is all about flexibility in my shoulders. I broke my upper arm and it healed wonky so one arm can go back a lot more than the other. Turning my knees out helps me0 -
For me it was being able to get proper depth on an overhead squat. Took me forever and I had gotten so discouraged. When I did it I was tooo hyped. Now if I could just get those darn muscle ups!!!0

Wow! Those are great goals! I'm right there with you, and congrats on your first RX! I LOVE when that happens, but I'm still a long way from RXing regularly.0

That's wonderful! Box jumps give me butterflies too. I'm always a LITTLE worried that I'm going to miss the box and tear up my shins, or bust my face, or something of the like. 0 -
Did 4 Hand Stand Push Ups last night.
Only strung 2 together at each attempt but they were RX!!!!
Goal for February:
Double Unders!0 -

That's awesome! Now that I can do handstands, I want to start working up to HSPUs! I saw a great video on crossfitjournal.com that showed you how to progress and still protect your skull.

Nice work! I have a hard time coming off the wall when I do them. It's something I'll have to make a monthly goal one of these months0 -
lol, I'm not ANYWHERE near a MU. Like wwaayyyy off haha0

5 strict pull ups before April, nearly have one, so pleased with myself also 100kg DL before April am on 97.5 for 1 and 95 for three..... I can do this x0

Posted in my profile the other day that I want to accomplish 50 burpees in 4:20 or under. We have 100 days of burpee challenge since the new year - it's 50 burpees or 5 min cutoff. I had been hanging around 4:30ish, but managed to bust them out at 4:22 today so I was psyched
However I think I'm going to change my profile to say 4:20 CONSISTENTLY...lol....because I'm not sure when this 4:22 will happen again.
Have a good day!0 -
I was able to do pistols yesterday w/o holding a ten pound plate out in front of me!0
