If the warm-up says choose to do it 1 OR 2 times, which would you pick? And why? Be honest.

QOD: I sometimes do 1.5 or just 1… not because I’m a slacker… but because I want to do (extra) mobility. I’ve been focusing on that for the last couple of weeks and I feel less…broken? 🙂
QOD: Unfortunately it’s usually time-related for me.
I like the x 2 though as I often sub in other movements I need to work on like Wall Balls, KBS or skipping in the 2nd set.
Qod: I usually do 1 but I either do more reps and everything strict or weighted. Also usually pressed for time.

At the competition I did this in 8:03 so 56 sec pr. I really need to calm my nerves at these competitions. Also need to work on my techniques I am developing bad habits again of just muscle cleaning and pressing everything.. Thanks Marie for bringing this to my attention. I know it will make things easier in the long run.
Great class Marie! Great work 6 amer’s!
Yes, I think you need to do something for those nerves before competition. You still score ridiculously well, inspite of the nerves, but you knock it out of the park when you are “relaxed”. Crazy time on today’s WOD 🙂
Thanks Lora, I really enjoy the competitions and I will figure out what to do with myself eventually.. On the other side I think I kind of relax too much sometimes at the gym. There was a lot of banks that didn’t need to be there, I looked at the clock on the last round and thought Damn I am not gonna beat my time so I put it in high gear… So I still need some competition to push me… aaahh someday it will come together.. Haha
QOD: Depending on time I usually try and get my 2 in.

Too may rowers to do the row so Marie-No suggested tabata skipping…was fun and tough.
It was a cold this am and all I wanted to do was stay in bed but knowing one of my favourite coaches was coaching got me up. Not sure how we are going to do without you at the box anymore…I know I will personally miss you to the moon and back and I hope the move isn’t forever and we get you back one day. 🙂
Great job 6 amer’s! Love my Friday WOD’s with all of you.
I am always happy to see you guys on Friday…you make me smile 🙂
Awwe thanks Ginette! You make me smile too! 🙂
Crystal I told myself it would be a tear free Friday.. I had succeeded until your post… You are a true inspiration to me and you keen bunch of 6am’ers are the reason why I haul my behind out of bed every Friday am, even if I don’t have class or anything other than studies, which I could truly only start once the sun is up. The members at CFM are a breath if fresh air or like a sip of red bull! I always finish a class with so much more energy than when I arrive! You’re awesome and I’ll miss ya… A lot … Thanks for letting me in your life crystal, and all other members!
Well I knew u sold your house but I didn’t realize u were moving away.. 6am just won’t be the same without you, or any other class for that matter. You are a big inspiration in your drive and focus. Thanks for all the help and don’t stay away too long.. We will miss you loads!!
Since you’re already crying… WE LOVE YOU M-N!
Shane… That’s round #2 now of the no tear day… Thanks for being the amazing powerhouse that you are! Makes me research stuff more so I don’t look and sound like a complete fool when coaching you! I still have a few days (weeks) of no repping before I go!
Awwe Marie-No…I’m sorry you teared up. BUT IMAGINE HOW WE FEEL! lol
You are a true inspiration to me and and I’m sure all of us…You are one amazing gal and I am so happy our paths crossed and I hope they will again. You are seriously an amazing coach and I keep at it because I have people like you in my life. Big hugs buddy and will see you soon and thanks for all you have given me. 🙂
If I am going to be no repped, there is no one I would rather do it Marie No-Rep… Lol
We also will be sad to see u go.
Also sorry for upsetting u!!
QOD: Usually pressed for time and do 1. But when this whole choice of Wu rounds started at the Alcock location, I will admit I only did 1 round even with time to do more. It could have been the drastic change from doing more reps/Wu or more rounds then all of a sudden I could choose to only do 1 round @ 10 Reps. I need direction to help push my self, even in a Wu, hence one of the biggest reasons I like Crossfit so much.

Impromptu wod with Lora’s 7am crew this am. I must say it was rather quiet without Josh, Darrell and Denis. Poor Dan had no one to wine with!
That being said, Lora I’m cursing your name right meow as my core is sore… Yay for proper form on Hollie hold but booooo to inflicted pain.
Heather I want to thank you for sharing the bar with me! It had been way too long… And I’m sure my 7# PR on shoulder press was from all that positive energy and laughs!
Wod – 1-3-5 x5 (press/pp/pj)
55-65-75-85-95 (previous pr was87#)
Qod – I think it’s my first qod… If I could is do 3-4-5 sets… But it’s the time I’m lacking. Like Shane I rather 1 or 2 longer or more challenging sets as a warm up. But if / when I have time I’d go for 2 good sets!
I’m so happy you decided to stay and play with the 7am folks! It was a pleasure to have you there.
Congrats on your shoulder press PR! WOOHOOO!
Is it wrong that I am secretly happy your abs are feeling those hollow holds?? If you only knew how much pain I’ve felt after your Oly classes, you would understand 😉
MN….I am going to really miss seeing you at CFM. You are such an awesome person and of course Coach. Transfer back some day!
QOD:
It too for me, comes down to time…if I hit a 4:15 class (do to children in sports I need to leave my 5:45 crew to get a CF in) I have harldly enough time to get a full warm-up in. Also I’m starting to realize how important Mobility is, and doing a lot more of that….its kinda a 2 fold for me.
QOD: I typically do 1.5 or only 1 since I always run out of time. Its hard to come in earlier than 5h50AM to get 2 rounds of WU in. Often I want to do some mobility or practice some ring dips or something.
In summary, I rarely do 2 due to lack of time.

Qod lot of mob and wux1
QOD: I’ll generally pick 2 since I want to get better at pull ups, and I figure doing 2×10 instead of 1×10 will help speed that up. If the WOD features a high number of pull ups though I may opt for just WUx1 since the pull ups are likely to be what slows me down the most in the WOD and I don’t want to start with tired muscles.

Loved this WOD. Feels like I haven’t done these movements in forever.
All OHS’s unbroken. Broke PS’s in the rounds of 9-up into 2 sets, stopping to rest on the second set, just before the last one, and then did last PS and right into the OHS’s.
Wow, you matched my score with only 10# less… looks like I got “chicked”!
Awesome work!

Wicked score Lora, powerhouse! Nice work on the strict Pullups also.
