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 me

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)

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!

Good for you! I start getting nervous about box jumps around 8" from my max height

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 though

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!!!

Did 4 Hand Stand Push Ups last night.
Only strung 2 together at each attempt but they were RX!!!!

Goal for February:
Double Unders!

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 months

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 x

I was able to do pistols yesterday w/o holding a ten pound plate out in front of me!

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!

I aspire to your level! 50 consecutive burpees in ANY length of time would be great.

Thanks - Idk why, for some reason I do pretty reasonably well with them while i suck at other things lol. I did 20 straight today and did stop to rest like 10 secs, then do 10 more then short rest, and so on til it was done. I think one guy did them nonstop and he was done at like 2 mins or a little over that - some ridiculousness.

what are pistols?

One leg squat.

The scaling option is to either hold a 10lb (or w/e weight works for you) plate out in front of you to counterbalance you. If that is still difficult you can grab something and walk your hands down it to maintain balance. If that is still too much use rings at w/e height you use them to do dips with.

I got 225 lbs. on the strict OHP. It was cool, usually I do the dip to get it moving.

Are we talking about a shoulder press? If so that is a HUGE number. Congrats!
