I really like the section where Coach takes the time to compare a franchise and a affiliation. We are blessed to have a founder that thinks beyond just making profit! Thanks Coach!

It would be cool to have a gallery where everyone can post pictures of their garage gyms! Where it all started for most of us.

Long time out from CrossFit with injuries..but on the road back. Followed Juan's tips for scaling. Hit the 27 rep down version with ring rows and DB thrusters 2x 10kg. Hit it in exactly 10 mins....plenty of pump in the upper body on that version. Great tips and hit that stimulus albeit with plenty of breaks along the way.

So I’ve been working on my garage gym all winter and it’s finally usable. I just can’t wait to try it out so I go online and grab the first Wod I see and it just happens to be this one... Took me 30.10 at RX to finish this workout. I didn’t realize until after that it was a CrossFit open workout. I just thought I had gone soft or something.

Missed the 20 minute time cap. 22:50 to complete it all as RX. One of the hardest WOD I have done.

16:41 rx. Thrusters are nothing, just impossible to do chest to bars without getting stiff after 5. That's a huge weakness for me ctb.

Just so I can join in and hopefully provide some insight. Rx 19:16 ... TOTAL PUKIE BLACK HOLE!! Finished c2b 27 @ a little under 10mins and said loudly: Great! All I have left is Angry Fran!! Over 10 mins to do 21-15-9. Worse 10 mins in recent human history!! Original plan of 21-12 was great for thruster n shitty for c2b...dang but that bar was getting further n further away every rep!! Contracted on last few c2b were sets of 5 or 4. 27 Thruster plan of 9-9-9 went according to plan w/xception of mini-gorilla waiting on the sidelines for me to attempt to execute 9-9-9 C2b!! Yeah right. More like 5-4 resssst, pray, shake out arms..repeat 5-4 ressst, pray, shake out arms!! At this point I found religion. Rather multiple religions. I started Catholic, spoke some Tongues in Baptist, urged Allah, accepted Jesus, and eventually met Buddha!! 21: easy breezy..NOT! 12 Thrusters and got my 1st cramp!! RIGHT QUAD!! FML!! Quick water squirt, more prayers, knowing I’m almost done!! 9 more thrusters!! 6 C2b left me w/5 sets of 3!! At this point: CANT FEEL MY ARMS!! And...how did they get so long?? More praying!! Lord knows what I offered? No sex for a year/no drinking for a year? Something equivalent!! 15: HELL: who can’t do 9 MEASLEY THRUSTERS?? This guy!! 8 thrusters. Some words of encouragement from my judge/some more finding religion and boom: 7 Awful, Awful thrusters in da books!! My thrusters are and have always been my enemy!! I was looking forward to the C2B... let me repeat: I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO REP 81 of C2B said no one ever!! Small sets!! Keep me moving. Do 3. Drop. Turn around. Repeat. Do not Rest between drops. TOO CLOSE TO NOT FINISH!! Move your CANDY ASS!! Holy CRAP: A little under 3 mins left and there is light, ACTUAL LIGHT at the end of the Tunnel. Is that puke I taste or am I confusing that w/the actual poop in my shorts!!?? 9 EFFING THRUSTERS UNBROKEN! Hallelujah!! Except : RED LINE RED LINE RED MOFO LINE!! DANGER WILL ROBINSON..DANGER!! Big BIG GULPS OF AIR More BIG GULPS OF AIR!! Nasty looks to my judge who is spouting something about finishing my I DONT GIVE ONE CRAP ABOUT C2B! 1st set is an awful 4. So close. Okay, 5 unbroken to finish. You’re right there!! BAHAHAHA: Huge set of 3 and 2 singles and IM DONE!! FML! Repeat FML!! Cramps, cramps, cursing, and small, Private thanks to the various Diety’s I summoned!! Huge smile to my judge (still can’t breathe, afraid of what might come out of my mouth if I try to speak)!! Thank Gawwwd it’s over! Still at home wondering how long it’s gonna take for my Quads to recover!! Hopefully you aren’t reading this BEFORE you have to do this workout!!? The Reebok Crossfit Open 2019 is in the books!! Congrats to every single person who attempted this workout!! We r blood brothers and sisters for life! AND HUGE SHOUTOUTS TO ALL THE JUDGES! Thank you again!

5’8” / 163 lb / 20 / M Rx’d 167 reps in the 20 min cap Finished in 23:45 Close to death, what a meanie.

24:54 Rx

147 Green band pull-ups

18:59. I used 30# dbs for thrusters, and assisted pullups. It seemed a victory to complete even a scaled version. I'm going to be feeling this for a while.

57 / 167 Master's 55-59 as rx'd 19:11

As rx’d, 17:17. That was unpleasant. Tried to pace this one out. Thrusters 13-11-9 / 11-11-5 / 9-7-5 / 9-6 / 9. Pull-ups in sets of 3 the whole way. Just tried to keep moving and start again while I was still uncomfortable. Just glad to finish this one under the 20-min time cap. Pretty sure that is the most C2Bs in one workout for me (105). 46m/5'10"/180

19:26 Rx weight(65#), but regular pull-ups. We don’t have enough clearance on our bar for all the way C2B. Today was actually the 1st time I tried them, being only 99% sure there wasn’t enough room. Well the head hitting the ceiling confirmed it. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ Am I the only one that gets light headed with thrusters? And I wasn’t holding my breath either.

RX 122 reps at 20 minutes time cap. Still hate thrusters...

Scaled got 206 reps. I was 4 pullups short. got all the rounds in 20:30.

23:42 65 lb thruster

Whew! 18:52 scaled. 53yr old female. 205#. The rounds of 33 and 27 are brutal. I broke them up 10,10,10,3 & 8,8,8,3. I think it helped to at least finish before the time cap. Gut through the 21 round and then 15 and 9 are a breeze. Good luck y'all.

95lbs thrusters & pull ups in 20min. rds of 33-27-21 +15 thrusters all the rds in 22:45

35 minutes to complete one cycle not to scaled. All I can say is brutal. I subbed the pull ups with bent over rows

28:18 rx

Master's Rx: 65# thrusters and pull-ups 19:49 What to call this? Rabid Fran? Hallucinogenic Fran? Fran on 'roids?

😂 😂 😂

Scaled to 65lbs thrusters + regular pull-ups (not C2B, not strict) 20:15 I lost count of pull-ups in Rd.21 -- I don't know if I did 21 or 25 altogether. So it's possible my time is a few seconds closer to the Cap. Disappointed regardless: I was sure I would meet the Cap!

23:35 rxd. Ouch M/6-3/218lbs

33 Rx at my local affiliate. I spent the remaining time attempting C2B pull ups and completed about 80 kipping pull ups. I came super close to my first C2B pull up but no dice.

20:00 Rx

33-27-21-15-9 reps - Thrusters, 43 kg - pull-ups (not chest to bar) --> 28 min 35 sec

177 reps rx (got to 13 on the 15 thrusters round)

18:31rx It’s like Fran but for twice as many reps and so much longer. My lungs and legs!!!

Thank goodness for the time cap. Rereading "The Garage Gym" today and "What is Fitness?" recently made me remember how contrarian, raw, and WTF CF used to be. I'm happy for Coach's and CF's success, but I miss the in your face nature of CF from its earlier days.

Are you kidding me ???

Hope yall make it :)))))))))

It’s like angry Fran!

Globo Scale... As usual, and the final time until late September/early October, I recommend going to an affiliate to do this workout. Check out map.crossfit.com and find a local affiliate, reach out to them, and experience the community and throw down in an affiliate. If you are doing this in a globo or garage gym, this one is easily filmable. Set up in a way that allows quick access to both implements. As always, filming and workout standards are at games.crossfit.com . Good luck and have fun. For those of you on a cruise ship, deployed, or just don't have access to a barbell and are doing this workout for fitness purposes, you can sub in 40/25 lb DB's for the thrusters, and do chest to bar pullups, strict pullups, or 2/1 alternating upright rows with the dumbbells for the pullups. As always, this will not yield an official score. Finally, I do recommend seeing if you can compete at a sanctional or sanctioned event, at least in their online qualifier. They are fun, and test your fitness in new and unique ways. The next ones I know of are the French throw down and The Granite Games, with plenty of sanctionals after the October open to choose from that have scaled and intermediate divisions, as well as the Rxed and pro. Do the online qualifier for the event you want to do, form a team of 3, register and throwdown with your box mates or people from around your country or region.

Good Gawd! (James Brown voice)

19.5 complete ✅ 136 reps RX My lungs and throat are burning. I know I can do 16 thrusters unbroken in 48 seconds 😆💨

Probably will take 100 hours

Wish it was strict chest to bar

Intended Stimulus For athletes doing the open. Today the stimulus is twofold: 1) have fun, and 2) apply the fitness you have built throughout the year. Chose RX if you can perform all movements at the given loads with sound mechanics. Otherwise pick the scaled version. Check http://games.crossfit.com for full description and standards. For athletes for whom this is just another wod. Keep in mind workouts are programmed with the elite in mind. So when scaling this workout, shoot not for a 20 minute workout, but for a 10 minute workout. This should guide your decision on how to scale. This workout is designed to be highly metabolic (a.k.a sucky), fast paced and continuous. The following options are meant for athletes for whom the official scaled versions would put them outside that 10 minute goal. . Option 1 27-21-15-9-3 reps for time of: Thrusters Jumping pull-ups Men: 65 lb. Women: 45 lb. Option 2 27-21-15-9-3 reps for time of: Dumbbell Thrusters Ring Rows Men: 45. Women: 35 lb.

Champions Club Scaling Notes STIMULUS: https://media.giphy.com/media/EouEzI5bBR8uk/giphy.gif (w/f safe) GROUP: So… there’s this. In terms of the 10 general physical skills, high volume means one of two things: coordination practice or stamina development. Both areas are working simultaneously to some extent, but this one is definitely leaning towards stamina. Specifically, this would be stamina in the squat shape for thrusters, and midline control for kipping pull-ups. I might 5 rounds with a time limit for each movement. Aside from helping distribute equipment, this also makes scaling a lot easier. Try 2:30, 2:00, 1:30, 1:00, and :30 rounds of each, making the weight a tad bit lighter than rx’d. I really think scaling the weight down significantly on thrusters could go a long way on this one. Pull-ups can be Ricky Reps; stay overhead and keep working on the strict variations. Also, dumbbells might be a good sub to save some wrists. WARMUP: Handstand — overhead prep Kip — obvs Squat — obvs Hollow hold — overhead prep for thruster Jump rope - always KEY MATCHUP: your desire to do this as rx’d vs. your actual capacity to do 105 reps of each SCALING THIS WELL WILL CAUSE ME TO: have both arms and legs fully attached as functioning parts of my body tomorrow GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 9. The intensity will be lower, but thrusters and pull-ups are a brutal combination. GENERAL EMASCULATING LEVEL (1=WHO DOES RING HSPU ANYWAY?, 10=THIS TEENAGE GIRL IS DEADLIFTING MORE THAN ME): 10. Think about this one for a sec. 105 REPS!!

Oh that’s nasssty

Won't touch the barbell until Friday night, but my wrists are already hurtin'....good luck to all of you.
