24.3 leaked. They upload the video and forgot to put it private

@spazmoidfry Bc a 65 lb thruster is something like 90% of people could do in their first CrossFit class lol. 35 pull ups isn’t. lol

 

[spazmoidfry]

@lex123 I'm late in replying, but the chin-over-bar pullup is clearly meant to be a separator for the scaled athletes, just like the bar muscle up is meant to be a separator for the RX athletes. Just because it's a scaled version doesn't imply that it is required to be accessible for everyone. That's why they implemented a tiebreak time after the first 5 rounds. They intentionally programmed it that way.

This happens almost every year, by the way. So it's safe to assume that there will be a similar test next year.

@lex123 Just because you can't do something doesn't mean other scaled athletes can't.

And not everyone is meant to finish. Even our scaled athletes who have chin over bar didn't finish(myself included).

 

[patrick1975]

@lex123 I don't get it. The sxpresheet says jumping chest to bar, chin over bar.
Is it either? I'm not sure if I'm reading it wrong

 

[spazmoidfry]

@patrick1975 It's not either. It's jumping chest to bar (scaled from reg C2B) 1st 5 rounds, then chin over bar pullups (scaled from BMU) 2nd 5 rounds.

 

[lex123]

@patrick1975 No you aren’t reading it wrong. I just don’t see how 35 chin over bar is a fair scaled option.

 

[forgivenkali]

@lex123 It's a separator. Just like the BMU. Just like the scaled version of 23.1.

 

[patrick1975]

@lex123 They've had pulls ups before as scaled. I spent 10 mins trying to get one ha ha. It sucks defo my focus this year is to get them.

Ill be doing jumping. I'm not sure why there are two choices though

 

[lawforchrist]

@patrick1975 It's not two choices. Jumping chest to bar is the scale for chest to bar. Chin over bar is the scale for muscle ups.

 

[patrick1975]

@lawforchrist Ah yeah that makes sense, I read the scorecard quickly and was like eh?? I missed the female/male symbols

 

[lex123]

@patrick1975 I’m disappointed. I hated 24.1 but it was fair. Loved 24.2 and also thought was very fair. Def not excited at all for 24.3. Makes me not even want to bother.

 

[patrick1975]

@lex123 I feel you! I have a bad knee so I'm trying to avoid alot of movements like thrusters at the moment as I am trying to nurse it back! So I'm gonna see how I feel if it feels shit in the warm up ill maybe call it a day. That's on me though

 

[tammy1ed2]

@cnghello I just did Fran yesterday. Pain.

 

[jeffhairston]

@tammy1ed2 Why would you do Fran … well ever lmao but I was going to say in the middle of the open

 

[tammy1ed2]

@jeffhairston I mean, I’m not doing the open expecting anything but to test my fitness. And it was programmed. And i love my programming and trust it (even when it’s Fran lol)

 

[integra]

@tammy1ed2 Linchpin???

 

[jeffhairston]

@tammy1ed2 lol I get that, for sure. At least you have until Monday to do this one!

 

[asphaltpotato]

@tammy1ed2 You should have thought that one through! Lol jk. I killed myself in jiu jitsu yesterday and hit a WOD with pull-ups this morning so we’re in the same boat

 

[drdammie]

@cnghello Oh, nice, chest-to-bar pull ups.

Cries in beginner.

Have fun everyone!

 

[cyberprince]

@drdammie Same! I wonder what the movements will be at scaled… or will I have to go down to foundations
