Lorenzo: 31:25 with only 4 rounds in 87 degree heat. About the same time as last time for the whole thing. Had drinks at the beach and didn’t eat long enough beforehand. Crazy side ache on the final run, which took me 6:25 since we capped the first part at 25:00

Mcghee


17 rounds + 1 deadlift


I have been using a 185 pound guy as the baseline for mainsite wods and calculating my weights based off of that- i.e., if a workout says 95lbs i assume that is meant for a 185 guy and that I might be better of choosing a weight similar to the percentage the rx weight represents fpr a 185 pounder. E.g. Mcghee prescription asks for a 275 lbs deadlift. Which is around 1.48 bw for a 185 lbs guy. So i multiply my weight 162lbs by 1.48 . Which turned out to be 110kg, and helped me get a hell of a workout.


Its still not exact science. You may do the math and still feel this is too heavy. And eho knows maybe one day you may feel its too light. But overall I think modifying the general prescription to your weight class is a great starting point to curb expectations and get better wods.


Thank you CF.


RIP Mcghee.

Compare to Murph 75:00 straight through with 15# vest. I am definitely less fit than 12 months ago.

Did Kelly Brown, modified to available equipment:


5 rounds for time of:

44 DB SDLHP | 2x 9,5 kg DB

10 box jumps 50 cm

21 DB deadlifts | 2x 14,5 kg DB

10 sandbag shots as high as possible

SCORE: 31' 22''

--

This was the first WOD of this kind I did, back in November, and also the first WOD I logged here on main site.

Today it was the end of a troubled day. The effort helped me to regain focus and peace.

May those who have departed, and their loved ones, find peace as well.

Murph, no vest, strict pull ups, chipper style

55:11


This was the first time I did it chipper style. 11 minutes for the pull ups, 16 for the push ups, and 11 for the squats.


I kept the pull ups as soon goes the whole way. Push ups were 5 every 20 seconds through 80, then 4 every 20 seconds thereafter. Squats were unbroken all the way through.

RANT

The mindset of "just get it done" is, to me, something that should be saved for special occasions as far as workouts are concerned. Think of it compared to football: there are like 5 or 6 practices for every 1 game you play. So treating every workout like a game means that you're likely missing a lot of growth and development opportunities. These hero workouts can be treated like "practice" days for newer athletes, as a good amount of them involve movements that are pretty difficult.


TECHNIQUE SCALE

DT, but lose the timer


CONSISTENCY SCALE

Nutts, 19:28 as rx'd, and a pr by almost 3 minutes. It was like Fran where it didn't feel worse than normal during but once I was finished I was pretty wrecked for the better part of a half hour.

That is too dope Mike! I didn't think it would be possible to make that last mile worse, but doing it in the sand sounds like it would do that.


My favorite Murph memory is after my senior year in high school doing it in a torrential July downpour. I did the pull-ups on the football goal post and my hands got absolutely shredded.

It's a great list. Thanks to HQ for continuing to compile these. Just a note that "Gunny" is missing. Please see: https://www.crossfit.com/workout/2018/07/03

The Level 1 course at West Little Rock CrossFit was fantastic! Pablo and Natosha were incredible instructors!
