Today, you get to try one of your very first workouts over again. Use the same weights, same movements and see how far you’ve come. Here’s to hoping your first wod wasn’t the 10k run!
And now for a little learning on your lovely Thursday.
[vimeo=https://vimeo.com/128402899]
I’m really excited to re-do my very 1st WOD! Not so excited that it’s rowing and thrusters…
Your first WOD was rowing a thrusters?! That’s some welcome…haha
I know! And I actually came back haha!

Thanks Kevin, fun class! Great work everyone π
Ooh I love this WOD. I might have to bring it out for an open gym! Great work!
Great job Kelly the “Clemens” Black. I hear you have an awesome fast ball! π
Nice work Kelly! That one is tough!
A WOD from my first month (the first few weren’t conducive to retesting) Sept. 24, 2012:
The Punisher
35 med ball sit-ups 6# (Rx was 14#, I think)
400m med ball run (The Rx was 1 mile, the scale was 800m, I scaled the scale and ran 400m…for which I am utterly ashamed today.)
35 med ball situps
THEN: 9:17
NOW: 5:02
I’m going to take this one on Rx at my next open gym. I want to see if I can do it under 25min.
Ok…so the actual Rx is 50 med ball situps…not 35. This is going to be less fun. But I’m still going to try it.
Do iiiit! You’ve got it π
I remember that one…
Wow, that’s a big pr. I thought about doing that one as well!! Rx would be fun….
Forgot: also worked on hollow holds (30 sec x 4, then whatever I could get) and did 5 x 200m row.
WU + 400m run
Dodgeball
TBT WOD April 12, 2012
AMRAP 12 mins
10 Floor Presses 65#
5 Ring Rows
Old: 10 rounds + 10 presses
New: 15 rounds + 2 presses
My arms are dead.
Sorry Jo for the Dodgeball mishap. I have bad aim.
No worries…there’s a reason I don’t play group sports. I tend to attract mishaps lol
Huge pr Kim, nice work
400m Run
WOD βJackβ
AMRAP in 10 minutes
10 Push Press (45#)
10 Kettlebell Swing (25#)

15 wall balls 25#
The fountain of youth!!
Huge pr Kevin!! Almost double, nice work!
My WOD today from Feb 2010 (wasn’t my very first WOD but within the first couple weeks)
50 Wallballs 10#/9′ – these were actually more like 8′ back at Rideout St. I miss the low ceilings sometimes, wallballs were SO much easier.
120 Skips – there was a time I couldn’t do double unders! Who knew? Sometimes you forget where you started and how far you’ve come.
30 KBS 25# – these felt pretty light after yesterday’s 35#
20 OH lunges 25#
10 Box jumps 18″
Today – 4:24
2010 – 7:58
I’ve been at this for a while now (5+years) and still see improvements. They may not be minute PRs anymore, they’re seconds and weights might not go up every month (or even every couple months) but I’m still getting better over time. It’s been a fun journey. It’s awesome to see all the PRs today, when you get frustrated with your progress (or seemingly lack of) go back and look at where you started and how far you’ve come and you’ll see just how much progress you’re making.
Great post Jo, that’s quite an improvement!!
MOB + WU + 400m run + Crossfit Dodgeball π
Ok, so I was a total uncoordinated mess this AM. I did a redo of Dec 9 (had finished prep Nov 20) which was …
15-12-9
Thrusters (I wrote down 50#; but realized as soon as I picked up the bar – I must have written down what was on the board that day and not what I did … I am guessing now it was probably 35#)
Burpees
Time Dec/14 – 5:40 with assuming 35#
Time Today – 5:15 with 50#
I’m going to try this again in an open gym, I spent half the WOD trying to figure out what seemed ‘wrong’ … Lesson of the day? Make sure I write down everything in my book correctly … π
Cashout: 1000m row & broken into two 500m chunks w 25 ab mat sit-ups in between.
Nice work that’s a big improvement!!
Such fun to look at all the progress. CFT rest day today for me but my first wod was 100m sprints. Incredible that I ever went back. Today’s morning run was 4 X 1000m so I think there is progress since the 100m seemed like 1000m when I started 4 1/2 years ago!!
It really is Throwback Thursday!
Nooner warm-up with CF Dodgeball
I did not pick the Filthy 50’s (first WOD ever) because I’ve re-done it so many times. And I didn’t keep a journal when I first started, so finding one of my first wods was tough. I looked through the Main site for a while this morning and came across one from May 16, 2007 (5 months after my first wod). http://www.crossfit.com/mt-archive2/002695.html
3 rounds
100 foot Walking Lunge
50 Squats
25 Good Mornings (used 45# today, may have only used a stick back then)
Old time: 8:33
New time: 6:34
Chris Spealler had done it in 7:19 back then. So I’m pretty pumped that I beat young Speal.
So cool to see all the improvements today!
Nice work coach! Today was really fun!
wow that’s really fast!
Very first WOD April 15, 2011
AMRAP in 4 min Row for Calories
then (49) now (59)
rest 1 min
AMRAP 3 min Thrusters @ 35#
then (40) now (65)
Biggest difference for me is how the WOD now feels, much more tolerable lol
Fun to compare!
Nicely done, that’s kind of a questionable one to redo!! Great pr!
Thanks! Yeah it’s kinda right up my alley!
Mobility and Wu x 1 + 400m run
Crossfit dodge ball Wu!!
My first Wod out of prep class was Helen

Felt really good, was neat to redo one of the early ones!!
Great class Kevin and great work 6 amer’s!
Can’t wait to read everyone’s posts!!!
Awesome progress. I love Helen! One of my favs! Great job!
I picked the WOD from Feb. 8, 2013.
AMRAP in 20 minutes of:
12 Push Press – 20#
10 Pull-Ups – Used the black band last time, used the green today.
Last time: I left my book in Virginia by accident but I think I got around 7 (possibly less) rounds and spent a lot of the WOD sitting on the floor trying not to pass out.
This time: 15 rounds.
That’s crazy, nice work!!
And you posted your results!! Yay!
Dodge Ball was SO much fun! I got Mr. Wood a couple times which made my day! π
Very first WOD December 4th, 2012
Filthy Fifties scaled to Terrible Twenties
Last time 10:47 Today’s Time 6:44
Fun times, great job nooners.
Thanks Blake.
Awesome job Crystal!!!
Merci Shane! π
Quite the PR my friend!
Wow! Awesome PR!
So based on those numbers you should be able to do the full 50’s in… say 17 minutes?
Now you have something to shoot for! Yippee!
Seriously, nice work killing that workout!
Don’t get all crazy on me Blake! π
Thanks it was a fun nooner.
So much fun reading everyone’s progress today. I love seeing how everyone has progressed since they first started their CrossFit journey!!
My first few WOD’s weren’t recorded very well as I would write down the WOD but not my time. Or I would write down the time but not the reps or the weight used π
So I did the Lifestyle Challenge Benchmark, which I did about twelve days after my very first class.
2000m row
May 20th 2014: 11:11
May 21st 2015: 9:23

Original time: 28:53
Today: 19:21 (I think that’s what I saw, was definitely at least a few seconds before 19:30 when i was laying on the floor lol)
I was SHOCKED to come in under 20 mins, didn’t look at the clock when I left for the run π
Thanks for cheering me on everyone!
Woohoo!!! Omg I had no idea you were doing Nutts! Awesome PR!
Lol neither did I until I went back to last year’s blog post, since I didn’t write the name in my book π
I’m so glad you finished under 20 minutes…. especially since I only set the clock for 20:00.
You did awesome!
Tough WOD and huge improvement!
My first ever CFM WOD was on Jan 25/2012 and it was:
7 Rds
3 Cleans @ 85#
4 HSPU scaled to 12 pushups (final 4 rounds of pushups from knees)
Time then: 7:57
Time today: 5:07
Even though I did those final 4 rounds of pushups from my knees they were still brutal π
Thanks for the class Kevin!

I remember this WOD as the first time I really wondered what I was doing at Crossfit! I remember feeling like I was going to puke and Corinna telling me to keep moving! No puke feelings today, but it was still tough…my legs were dead! Thanks to B for running with me during my second round.
Cashout: 11/30 800m run…….fun times!
So now you know what you’re doing at Crossfit…improving all the time!

This was my 3rd WOD way back on October 2, 2009. I would have used a band, but I did not write that down — REMEMBER WRITE EVERYTHING IN YOUR JOURNAL!
Here is a quote from my journal after my second fundamental (shoulder presses) class in September ’09: “I felt like my muscles were going to rip through my skin when I was in bed!”
Thanks Kevin this was lots of fun and it’s been quite a ride so far…
WOD from June 2013

Holy fast!!!!
I joined the 8:30 crew this morning..
Mob and Wu X1 + 400 m run..
CrossFit Dodgeball, what fun!

15 bar hops
Old time 7 rounds + 2 reps

WOD – AMRAP – 7min

7 box jumps – 24″ – 5 rnds
7 dead lifts – 65# – 5 rnds
7 situps – 4 rnds, 2 rnds on rings
CO – McKenzie push ups + Samson
May 21, 2015
7 box jumps – 24″ – 6 rnds
7 dead lifts – 65# – 5 rnds
7 situps – 5 rnds, no rings this time
CO – 200 skipping
I picked Nov. 16th, 2009 as my re-do wod. Good ol’ rideout street, 2 weeks into crossfit.
Amrap 20 minutes:
12 power snatch(15 #)
10 pushups (knees)
Total last time: 9 rounds + 12 p. Snatch (210 reps)
Total this time: 15 rounds + 3 p. Snatch (333 reps)
Pr of 123 reps.
Wowza!
my 2nd ever wod on May 14, 2014 was:
1000m row
400m med ball run @ 10# (guessed weight)
20 box jump overs @ 20″
400m med ball run
100 DU scaled to 300 singles
Time then: 13:35
Time today: 13:24
11 seconds faster and not the pr I was looking for…however, I did not have the proper attention to detail in my 2nd ever class and I did not write down my med ball weight or if I scaled the row and possibly even scaled the singles to a lower number?? Anyway, Kevin took my book quickly found another early wod and said, “do this right now!”
So on to wod 2 (from prep course, Apr 24/14)
For time:
3 rds
2 press
4 push press
6 push jerk
8 squats
all @ 35#
then: 3:18
today: 1:43
Happier with these results π
Great work to everyone today, SO MANY PRs!!

Way back then we used the bands for pullups, I wasn’t allowed to use the bands today ); first 2 rounds of pullups were unbroken and sets of 5 after that. Parallette dips where harder then I though.
“I you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball” apparently I would have had a lot of bruises. I couldn’t dodge anything tonight.
Wu x 1 , 400 m run, dodgeball!! We should play more games.

AMRAP 20 mins
Run 400 mins
Max pull-ups

Yay! I made it in today! Sadly, I hadn’t brought my book. BUT, I got to do baseline:
500m row
40 squats (I may have lost count but not sure)
30 situps
20 pushups (from toes)
10 pullups (scaled to ring rows)
My old time: 5:55 (and apparently I did my push ups from my toes. They probably were not good form?)
New time: 5:32 – not a huge PR, but I feel like I must have much better form now!

Man those pull ups are not easy at all. Iβm sure itβs all uphill from here right?
Hope so.”
