@mydonspace Anything with barbell cycling would not be fun as a noob

@mydonspace I did Karen my first week. Only scale was a 16# ball instead of 20#. I couldn't walk right for a damn week. I still hate Karen.

@mydonspace My first CrossFit class was an EMOM of cleans, snatches and front squats. I had no idea what I was doing and was pretty humbled (embarrassed) with how little I was able to lift. It led me to finding an Olympic weightlifting gym and coach. Two years later I am more technical than pretty much everyone at the gym.

@mydonspace I went on Memorial Day with my wife and did Murph. It was character building.

@mydonspace Honestly, “Zachary Tellier” is probably one of the worst for newbies lol 650 reps total for time

@mydonspace Depends, if they’re an athlete Murph or grinds like that really aren’t that bad. For me I’d be more pissed at high skill so either muscle ups or like a snatch complex or something where you’re totally lost and frustrated.

@mydonspace I never did any kind of onboarding or foundations classes before my first WOD… it was Isabel and even with an empty barbell, I think I got mild rhabdo. Couldn’t straighten my swollen arms for 3 days. Hideous. Can’t believe they had me do that and not with a PVC!!

@mydonspace I guess it depends on the person. For me, anything related to pushups, handstand, handwalk and wallwalks would be pretty terrible. Also any pullup stuff (my arms are weak and I weigh a lot).

@mydonspace Isabel or Randy. Technical lift and it’s runny thing in the wod. I’d give them dumbbells.

@mydonspace With partner
30min amrap
Partner 1 does as many rounds of...5 wall balls, 3 ring muscle ups, 1 power clean @225/185
While Partner 2 does 250m assault runner .
Partners switch after every 250m run. Continue where you left off on the 5wb, 3mu, 1pc.

@mydonspace I would say anything with high volume pull ups (if the person is able to do them) or high volume sit ups.
