A.
DL – 315×8 all sets. Last one was HARD.
KBS – 70#x20 all sets.

B.
Row – 4:10
Did thrusters w 45# DBs because BB hurts wrists. 10+5…
Sets of 5 on TTB.
DU – 25+20+ sets of 10.
TTB sets of 5 for first few.
Thrusters – 10+6+3+6

22:22. That was HARD. I wanna puke. I didn’t want to flail around and get singles on TTB so I rested til I felt I could get a set of 5. Thought it was more useful than TTB from a dead hang/no kip once I got tired.

I’d like to improve on strict gymnastics and gymnastics endurance, increase overhead strength, and improve conditioning. Should of done metcon and not the strength, I just like lifting heavy more than breathing heavy.

Great job on Part A! For Part B, let me know where you struggled and I can help you modify workouts appropriately in the future. For example, if it was with the double-unders, you might cut the number back to something more manageable OR you could give yourself 2 minutes to do AMRAP and then just move on. This method could be applied to any movement. Just let me know how I can help!

I’d suggest you take it a little easier today. You’re pushing hard and even getting down on yourself knowing you’ve been sick. Now you’re hurting and that’s a sign that you aren’t recovering that well. If anything I’d say just go for a jog or ride a bike or something.

Got this after I did a workout yesterday. Ooops. I am taking it easy today though. Yesterday I combined the workout with Tuesday’s.

A from tues.- 4+3
B from tues.- 3+23
C from tues.- 76cals in 4 min
D. Row was combined with tues C.
1000m-3:44
Total time for part B from Wed. WOD- 17:46

I’m pretty sure the 2 a days were what did it. I’m going to take a break from those for awhile.

Hello,

My wife and I are new to crossfit and have a garage gym, we have been following this plan and love it. I have 2 questions with programming:

1. How should we work Maxes into our workouts?
2. For scaling, we don’t own a rower, what’s a good alternative when this is in the workout?

Thanks so much!

Hi Konner and welcome! Glad you’re liking the programming so far. To answer your questions: 1) If you are following the Performance workouts, you will text your maxes every couple months for each lift – it’s built into the programming. Is that what you mean? 2) The purpose of the row in the workout is to get your heart rate up so don’t worry about mimicking the exact motion but rather the idea. Here are some ideas: 400m run = 500m row 20 cal assault bike = 500m row 5-line suicide sprint = 500m row 20 weighted box step-overs =… Read more »

I actually wouldn’t consider Fitness a level down from Performance. It is actually quite challenging since there is less rest in Part A, especially if you go heavy. And it will probably work better in a globo gym situation. I usually follow the Fitness program for the most part. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

While on the topic, what are the objectives behind the two categories? I usually do the one I’d rather not because it generally has things I need to work on, haha. Like today’s I would do performance because I HATE t2b and need to work on them. Just wondering if sticking to one side is a better choice rather than going back and forth.

July 20, 2016 3:38 pm

We describe Performance as your more-typical CrossFit workout. There will be Olympic lifting, 1RMs, double-unders, muscle-ups, and other high skill movements. Fitness is a body composition program whether that be to lean out or put on lean mass. It’s great for overall fitness and for those who don’t care about/shouldn’t be doing the above mentioned exercises. You are breathing heavy the entire time because there is usually only 30-60 seconds rest between exercises and if you are pushing your limits for those exercises, then it’s extremely challenging. Think about doing your 10RM Back Squat for 4 sets mixed in with… Read more »
