Workout of the Day

Rest Day

Post thoughts to comments.

It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.

Coach Glassman,


I understand the need to move forward and continue to refresh the site as well as programming. My request is to remember that there are many of us that do our WODs in our home gym and don’t have a coach to guide, scale and explain the purpose of what the WOD is all about.


I do appreciate the guidance I receive when I drop in while traveling. I’m now over 50 boxes on 3 continents and counting. It always brings a smile to my face to be embraced by the community for the hour that I am with them.

5 rounds for time of:

400-m run

15 thrusters

10 burpees


Men: 75 lb.


Scaled to 3 rounds. 16:48. Asthma attack slowed me down even though I took the runs easy. Went unbroken on thrusters and walked the burpees to give my toe a break.

No caffeine or food pre WOD. Felt unusually out of breath after the first run. Everyone around me is sick with a lung bug so my immune system may be on alert. Anyway I didn’t feel myself today. Still got a decent workout I guess. It still hurt!

Also.. I think they removed scaling options to give people more incentive to take their L1 and do the online scaling course. I’ve done both and you will get the tools needed to scale any workout. Just my opinion on the matter

20 minutes. Did 70 on the straight bar. Don’t have dumbells yet. I just wanted to say I did like scaling because I just started CrossFit at 53 but I am smart enough to figure what weight to use and how to substitute workouts. I am glad to have a site like this to start off with.

Mart, the important thing is that you did the work, not whether you commented on the right day. It is important for everyone to understand their own strengths, weaknesses, and injury areas and adjust as needed.

Dropped the dumbbells to 30 to but forgot to time. In retrospect I could have done the 35s no problem. Sometimes I let these workouts intermediate me and i doubt myself. I have to stop doing that because my self doubt is wrong 99% of the time.

The pull-ups are hurting my feeling too. I’m going to run a mile and then do some yoga. 😩😂

Rest Day thoughts for those who didn't ask for it:


In retrospect, if you've really been following the main site for the last year or two or five, this is exactly where the Founder has been taking us. Think of all the media lately regarding: Off the Carbs, Off the Couch. L1 seminars for doctors. Fighting Big Soda, Food, etc. The success stories. The common theme in the above has been decades of Conventional Wisdom has made most of us fat, weak & sick and that CrossFit is the best answer to all those problems. Counter to all the bitching in Comments, it is clear the redesign necessarily emphasizes CrossFit is for anyone willing to embrace it. The new website has ALL the information a newbie needs to get started if you take a few minutes and follow the links. If something isn't there? Ask. Comments will always give the answer. If not having the scaling just given to you is enough to drive you away, then you're missing the point. There is no perfect scaling option, which I bet is part of the reason HQ stopped doing it. The appropriate scale depends 100% on our own physical/physiological tolerance for intensity at that moment. CrossFit is all about focus on nutrition to prevent or reverse chronic disease and on intense & functional movement to retain physical independence well into our later years. Although entertaining, the future of CrossFit isn't the Games. It's the husband/wife doctors running their affiliate out of the home Garage (best video of last year, IMO).


You might be wondering (if you've read this far) where I get off with this rant. I found CrossFit around 10 years ago and since then have trained in affiliates but mostly on my own. I don't post often, and wanted to thank HQ and the Community here for all you guys do. Greatly appreciated.
