Good Morning, Athletes!
Start working on adjusting your schedules so that you can increase the number of times that you will be able to perform your WOD. The CF community is well known for finding success in a 3 on, 1 off schedule. You may not be able to flex for that rotating off day. Instead, good success has also been found in 5 on, 2 off. It becomes extremely difficult to push through that fifth straight WOD which is why I don’t recommend it (perhaps a 3 on, 1 off, 2 on, 1 off is possible?). If you are up for the mental challenge then get at it. Let me know so that the programming can be done and ready for you. Currently, I have your programming prepared approximately 2 weeks in advance.
Today you get the chance to meet one of our “girls.” She is a benchmark workout that will come to the party every so often so that you can retest yourself and see how you are progressing. The girls were designed by CrossFit Founders Coach and Lauren Glassman as a way to assess the functional power and progress of the athletes they were training.
Today’s WOD:
• Warm – up, 3 x 10.
• WOD: “Erin”
o 5 Rounds for Time
> 25 – 30 # Dumbbell Split Clean, 15 reps
> 21 Pull-ups – if you don’t have the ability to do assisted pull-ups then do 30 ½ bodyweight pull-downs
• Cool-down, Roller/Stretching/Yoga + 1 liter Water
Post thoughts and time to comments.
Have fun. DO WORK!
3…2…1…GO!

I started with 15lb dumbbells and 90lbs for pulldowns. I got 15 reps in and had to drop it to 70lbs. After round two, I dropped to 10lb dumbells and 50lbs for pulldowns. I definitely hit muscule failure this time around...

I did the first three rounds with 15lb dumbbells and 90lbs for pull downs. The last two rounds I did with 10lbs and 60lbs. I also hit muscle failure first, which is the goal. Frustrating to get so tired so fast, but a good work out.
