I love this series of articles. It reinforced my love for Crossfit all over again. And it gave me phrases and ideas on how to encourage people around me to share the magic of Crossfit with me. Thank you so much!

Went for the intermediate option:

5 chest-to-bar pull-ups

10 push-ups

15 single-leg squats to a box, alternating

Every 3 rounds 15 cal on Assault bike (Probably would be better to do 20-25 cal)

5 TRX pull-ups

10  push-ups

20 walking lunges

*After every 3 rounds, run 400 meters.

Intermediate (pistols to bench)

11 rounds

Wanted to end it all on even numbers so I did round 12 and 4th run (not timed) after a short rest - I had to really smoke myself in round 11 to finish in time. Don't have any compare to data prior to mid-2020, so this will be new PR.

Int (w green band for pull ups, knee push ups in round 5 and beyond)

Rx’d: 6 rds + 28 reps

Made 7, from round 3 run every time 🤘

400 meter treadmill run after rd 3 & 6

7 even. Last from 5 years ago was 7+6. Not too bad, runs sucked.

5+2 pull-ups

Rx 6+25 Rounds

SC kipping PU/pistol to 19" bench/0.75mi echo bike...6 rounds even (time @ 0.26mi on echo bike)

2 big rounds + 1 little round + 10 C2B as Rx. I was pleasantly surprised at my pistols, having not done them for ages, but slightly disheartened by my C2B, also not done for ages. On balance I was chuffed!

Scaled to 8-12-16 reps (80%), pistols down to 12" box

7 rounds (2 runs) + 8+12 = 272 reps + 800m

Too slow on C2B today. Last time 10-15-20, same pistols, exactly 7 rounds = 315 reps.

6+6 Did 27 cal. on Echo crazy weather! I suck at pistols. I had to use squat rack to brace and go butt to heel. Finished 10 rounds just under 35 min.

Scaled/subbed to:

10 kipping pull-ups

15 push-ups

20 pistols to an 18” bench

Nicole, thanks for such a well reasoned and well articulated article. This should be required reading for every L-1 candidate so that they are clear about the expectations and the weight of training others in the CrossFit Methodology!

2 x Pull-downs in the last 5 seconds

I took the first round slow, pausing between sets to pace, which I try to do on longer workouts so I don't go too fast. I typically try to then maintain the pace for the whole workout, I actively tried to slow down for rounds 2&3, so a nice place to be.

I took ~15sec to drink before and after the first 2 400s, plus time to spin up treadmill, ran them at about 8 min pace. Last one was at <7min pace. I should have pushed the first two runs harder.

My mindset this year is to overscale and do too little, rather than too much. I think this is a good approach for, at least for me, (re)starting Crossfit. There is always tomorrow

We were excited to host Chad and Jackie in our home gym. It was an absolutely an amazing experience! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us 💚💜💚💜

It was a great weekend with Chad & Jackie! CrossFit haifa rocks!

I toke part of level 1 in haifa Israel and want to thank chad and Jackie for amazing weekend!

there were so many OMG! moments and I have learned so much about things I have been doing for years.

I came in wanting to widen my knowledge in what I do everyday for two hours but the Level 1 made me want to train!

and thank you for Crossfit haifa for having us

Globo wod: If you do not have a bar you can kip on do strict pullups today. Running subs 500m row or 27 calories assault or echo bike. If you are using a conventional treadmill use a slight incline. Busy gym: do AMRAP 15 minutes near a pullup bar, then divide the rounds completed by 3 and run 400 meters times that number. Round up to the nearest whole number. Do this as fast as possible and as soon as possible after the AMRAP.

6 rounds 1 run. Modified to ring rows due to shoulder injury but I wore a 12# weight vest

Int. Option

10 rounds on the nose

MY STUFF

When I feel sick, I am really a fan of bundling up in as much clothes as possible and doing a 20-30 minute low-intensity workout to "sweat it out" so to speak. I don't know if there's any science behind it, but I swear it helps me a lot. I did that today. One-arm ring rows, overhead press/walk/ squats. Went for about 24 minutes and felt much better after.

GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7?

I wanted to wait a few articles to post this thought to see if it wasn't just a one-off, but one of the themes I've noticed in this series so far seems to be highlighting things that make CrossFit better than the competition, and my thought to that is: seriously, who is really in competition with CrossFit? Orange Theory? I haven't even heard of F45. To me, because the methodology is so freaking sound and the ethos is so strong, our only competition is ourselves... which is ironic considering individually that's why we put our names and results on the whiteboard. Just like Michigan doesn't really have to claim they're a better football program than Central, Eastern, Western, and Sparty, I don't think CrossFit has to pay any mind to what other fitness programs are doing. If anything external merits the term "competitor" I would think it would be along the lines of what Coach was fighting against Big Soda and broken/corrupted science. As usual, though, I assume I'm not seeing as full of a perspective as someone like Nicole would see. I'm in a little bubble here in Madison Heights.

Other thoughts:

Humility - I know I've said it before in some rants, but I just don't understand how someone can do CrossFit and not be humble. Dunking on someone? Yeah, that would feel great, tell them they're too little! Throwing a perfect touchdown pass? Also would feel great, do your celebration (unless it's enough to warrant a flag). Smashing a home run? Go ahead and do your bat flip. Hit a pr in Elizabeth or Abbate? Ha... see how much you feel like celebrating. Oh, you really want to brag about your Barbara score? You want to go ahead and demonstrate that for me? Didn't think so.

Accountability - I never really thought of the whiteboard in that way, but I'm really glad it was brought up here. I have been slacking on keeping our whiteboard up-to-date on the regular, non-benchmark workouts, and this is a great reminder to pick the effort back up.

I never realized the point made about mirrors either, so that was dope.

The main theme I'm seeing in this series so far is that everyone that does CrossFit needs to take ownership in CrossFit itself. I'm behind that completely. For me, that would mean not getting sour when I feel a loss of the "good ol' days" vibe or when a spinoff of a Girls workout comes up, or when a workout demo shows bad form or not going outside in cold weather. I also think that means that I need to start to make sure the Champions Club peeps get a better understanding of the big picture of CrossFit, of articles like this.

To protect our ethos, we must protect our methodology. If you miss or dilute a single piece of the methodology, you start to lose its efficacy, its “magic.” In other words, you don’t just mess with the methodology, you mess with our ethos. You mess with the very heart of who we are and what we are recognized for.

Great stuff Nicole! Thank you for taking the time to write this series!
