Hi all - I’m just finishing my second week on this whole CrossFit journey, and I’m liking things so far.

I got talked into doing 24.2 this evening (scaled)

I was 9 reps short of completing 7 rounds, and thought I’d done fairly well, but since I didn’t register, I don’t have much to base that on. Most everyone this evening was either doing it Rx, or foundational, so I couldn’t compare.

Would this be a decent first attempt for a 42 year old 265lb, out of shape, CrossFit rookie?

@nich4him You showed up and did the work. Sounds like you did great!

 

[nich4him]

@srutz Thank you - I have to figure out how to do DU’s. The weight didn’t bother me, but was stuck with singles for the moment

@nich4him That’s what the Open does. It highlights areas to improve on so when the Open rolls around next year those dubs will be smooth.

@nich4him For your second week doing CrossFit I am very impressed you showed up to do the open. Great work!!

@laniah Thank you.. feeling it now

@nich4him You did awesome!

@nich4him That would put you at about the 65th percentile of the people that did it scaled at my box, so that’s pretty good for a newbie

@nich4him I wouldn’t say you were out of shape if you 7 scaled.

 

[nich4him]

@snowygurl6 Lungs were on fire lol. Conditioning is getting better I hope.

@nich4him Most of our scaled athletes got around 8 rounds and most of them have been crossfitting for quite a while.

So I’d say that almost 7 rounds just 2 weeks in is pretty awesome

@eligp1240 Thank you.. They finally posted results for our group and I was pretty low on the list, but I’m the newest there so I try and keep perspective.

@nich4him This is great! Way to dive right in.

@nich4him Great work! I've been going for a few months now, 37f 215lbs - I managed 7 rounds scaled. So honestly think you did incredibly well. I had the same issue, no problem with the deadlift, just need to get that skipping sorted!

@saxophilist Nice work!
