we haven't done handstand push-ups yet but I am terrified of falling on my face!

Probably one of the last things I will try. I'm not dropping 280lbs on my head. I won't really feel comfortable doing it until I'm 40-50lbs lighter, if then.

Favorites: Squats, Cleans, Jerks, Handstands (against the wall lol), Box jumps, Ring Rows (I haven't tried banded pull-ups yet but I've gotten very good at ring rows).

Favorite thing to work on: Running. I hated and i mean HATED seeing any running on the board when I got to WODs the first few weeks, but now I love it because it's such an easy thing to work on

Least favorite: Wall balls and thrusters, I can't breathe when I'm doing them and burn out after like 8 reps. T2B only because I don't have grip strength and I slip off the bar every other rep. Anything with an overhead bar (Snatches, OH squats) makes me extremely nervous so I still use only the 33lb bar and don't try to put weight on. I'm afraid I'll tweak my shoulders or back if I move the wrong way while that bar is up there. Plus I've smacked my head on the bar a few times and that sucks.

I love long WODS - 20 to 30 mins with lots of different movements to keep me motivated. Love O/H squats, deadlifts, box jumps & handstand PU.

Used to love pull ups until I blew my shoulder out - their off the menu for the next forseeable future.

Hate running & thrusters .. with ... a ... passion....

Those are on the board for us tonight.

The WOD is performed in 2 parts:

Part 1, starting at minute 0:
Run 800m for time

(rest the balance)

Part 2, starting at minute 6:
AMRAP 8
8 Burpee Box Jumps (24/20)
8 Wall Balls (20/14)

Maybe I shouldn't comment. I'm still very new to CrossFit and can't really say I've found any move that I like. That is mostly because I'm still quite a bit overweight and out of shape. BUT, that's kind of the point isn't it. What I can tell you is that I feel pretty damn good at the end of a workout because I know that I'm improving each and every time. Also the people I work out with have been very encouraging Joe

Bravo! I'm also quite a bit overweight and love CF. You'll find stuff you like!

that is awful!!!! burpee box jumps AND wall balls!!

we had to do something last week called 2fer wall balls. i have a new least favorite exercise haha

Favorite is wall balls
Least favorite is thrusters or maybe lunges.

This is interesting because I feel like wall balls and thrusters are essentially the same movement lol I hate both!

I don't really 'hate' any Crossfit moves although there are several I'm terrible at and some I can't do at all (muscle-ups, pistols and others).

There are others I simply refuse to do and choose to adapt to protect myself from injury. For example, I haven't bothered to learn kipping pulls-ups because I think the risk of injury outweighs the benefit. I also swing KB's to eye level instead of overhead for the same reason.

My goal when working out is to push the intensity to the max while preventing injuries.

I am curious, and I ask because I had the same thoughts regarding kipping until I read an article on the breakdown of kipping and butterflying. What injuries do you foresee on doing proper kipping?

I somewhat agree on the kipping coment. I graduated from doing strict pull ups to kipping and after a few months of kipping I got bursitis in my shoulder and can only put it down to kipping. Now whether I didn't quite have the correct movement or due to a few weeks of doing them all the time I don't know - but now I have decided to forego kipping and sticking to strict. Not worth the down time although in WODs it sure is quicker.
