damn y'all! I got 1. Yes ONE. I had never even tried the 14lb ball and only got one up high enough that hit the wall. Got a few more up, but no repped because they didn't hit the wall.

YES! I'm new so even a lot of our regular WOD's at RX I can't do but these games weights for women are kind of high IMO when compared to the men's.

AMEN! I think Annie's judge needed his head examined (I'm thinking that is one of the ones you are referring to?). I haven't seen many you tube ones but was watching Annie and Lindsey earlier.

Big fat zero here too but you know what - I got a PR as well! Way to go! I got a 55lb PR for the OH, but did the WOD at 45lbs, because I could barely get that 55 up. I worked the WOD with 2 bars and did the rest at RX. Didn't jump the box - but neither did anyone else. My final score officially for the games is zero, but…

Thanks for the encouragement guys! I'm definitely going to go and push myself! Good luck to all attempting it!

I'm feeling so discouraged after seeing it. I can't do 75lb shoulder to OH - the most I can hang clean so far as been about 50lbs. Box jump too - I can do 16" but haven't even attempted to do 20. Our box is running the WOD tonight - I'm not sure what to do now. My last 2 WOD's have been very discouraging.

I've been crossfitting for 3 months and signed up for the open. I got a score of 40 for 13.1. I couldn't do the 45lb snatch, but during the WOD I did PR at about 10reps of 30lbs snatches. I got really close to getting the 45 up but just couldn't get under it. I think it was more mental and mobility related than anything.…

yea -figuring out how to pace yourself is hard! It sounds like you tend to be light on yourself so maybe just go a little harder each time. There have been SO many WOD's that I have not thought I'd make it through but somehow do - those usually end up being the ones I like the most. ;)

I had one of those last night - just super light weights and it was super hard. It takes time to get stronger - just keep at it - everyone was there at some point! Some of these are Olympic lifts - it takes time to learn them and build flexibility!

This has been a great thread for me! I've been going for about a month 2-3 days/week and I can tell I'm stronger already. I still have a long way to go, but seeing the gains I'm making has been really motivating!

shutupandlift you hit is dead on - I'm looking for the less squish results. Great answers - thank you!!

I try to get there early so I can really warm up. Sometimes I'll stay to work on something after if I have time and feel a need, but not on a regular basis.

our box is doing the WOD's every Thursday anyway so you really have nothing to lose if you sign up. I'm still not sure if I will though.....

A protein shake after would make a great breakfast IMO. Are you okay working out without eating anything? If not a banana or toast with peanut butter is usually light enough for me.

I just came across this - looks intriguing! http://www.mobilitywod.com/about

I just ordered it - I like her so much more than JM from the turbofire but I need to lift - hopefully this is just what I needed! :)

finally got to it last night - was going to finish with a turbofire HIIT after - yea - not so much. holy hell that was hard!

fantastic work!!

thanks guys? How did it go? I ended up just running last night - we had a strange non humid evening and decided to take advantage of that instead. It's on tonight though. :)

100% Gold Standard Optimum Whey French Vanilla is my favorite. I also love the EAS low card RTD shakes!

This is a GREAT question! I do the same thing a few times a week and didn't even think about the possibility it could mess up my metabolism!

I didn't get to it over the weekend - planning on doing week 2 one last time today then on to week 3 on Wed! eek!

seriously! I've been so sore but I love it! I swear after just 4 times I can already tell a difference. I'm going to try and do it more often if I can! Beach is in 3 weeks and I want to look good (or at least better). ;)

I'm doing ripped in 30 but only 3-4 times a week along with some running and HIIT workouts from turbofire. Did you all do it daily?

I'm 5'2" and 132 - feel free to friend me! I've lost 8 lbs in the past couple months and would like to tone up more!

yes! 2 c-sections later I hate my lower belly! :(

Fell free to add me! I'm 133 and looking to get into the mid 120s

I love the moving comfort ones and am a 34DD. Have you been fitted recently? Are you sure you are looking at the right sizes?

If a woman won't date you because of that, she isn't someone you need to be dating.

that is GREAT progress for 8 weeks!!
