@shewheel It's not one or the other... it is explicitly trying to be both. There is literally no reason to even have a scaled division if this is just a ticket to the Games. It this was just a trail for Regionals, they should be explicit about that and make the workouts harder. No one who is...

@jsjonessimson Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Because DUs are just a skill you can learn without getting stronger, you might be able to figure them out before Monday. I know I figured them out for the first time after 16.2 was announced. Good luck!

@sportfishingjunkie Yep, this is what happens when both Rx and Scaled feature skill movements that are known to trip up their respective communities. Lots of Scaled people can't do pull ups and lots of Rx people can't do MUs... but there are a lot of scaled people who can handle a barbell and...

@garnernathaniel Right?

@expressforsuccess I wholeheartedly agree with your mission here. My only advice would be to choose a better example to describe your scaling. You spend a lot of words explaining why and how to scale and all you do is reduce the weights on 2 of the movements so you can maintain intensity...

@derf Ha... Good luck and congrats on the oven bun... so do your CrossFit goals for next season include not being pregnant? :)

@bfall It's funny how the story changes from "I do the Open to see where I stack up" to "just do the better workout, who cares about the ranking" when something like this happens. I'm not saying you personally have made both arguments, but these threads are filled with both of these sentiments...

@james_bigshort Oh for sure! If you can do a single MU, you gotta go Rx. If you didn't get enough of a workout, just do something after... but if you've got all the movements, you gotta go Rx and see what you can do.

@dawn16 Yes, check out the Rx Smart Gear website. The have a sizing guide that is helpful. I would take the time to look at where you hold the rope in a mirror to see how far you spread your hands for your body and adjust your length accordingly. It does you no good to get a rope to long or...

@colton112 I recommend Rx Smart Gear jump rope with the Buff Cable. The key is the Buff cable. You need a heavy rope to slow you down in between jumps. The biggest mistake I was making and I see countless others make is swinging the rope at the same speed throughout. It is hard to control...

@starrysunsets I'm not a nutritionist or dietician (so grains of salt), but the impact of this sort of diet seems to depend a lot on what you are doing currently. If you eat a healthy diet that balances macros, you may not notice much change or you might even feel like you are losing something...

@chiole It's gonna be Vellner this year... write it down.

@tp243 I feel like a burpee mile team WOD could approach doable (e.g. 4 person team with 1 working at a time to progress toward the mile... but solo? F No
