What was your break through workout?

What workout made you think “I’m a crossfitter!” Or lead you believe you can do this? Or you just felt you had figured it out?

For me it was Grace. It took me 8 mins but I did it RX and didn’t quit.

What about you?

For me, it wasn't a wod, it was my first muscle up that was my "I'm really one you CrossFit-ers" moment.

For me it was Grace as well. Move 135# as fast as possible 30x?! Okay! First time I did it in under 3:00. Yesterday I repeated it (I’ve done it many times since in the last 4 years) and made it a goal to go unbroken, finally did 30 unbroken reps 1:19! Was going to post it in Friday wins but no post was made.

Yeah, I wrestled for 12 years and through college, throwing around bodyweight or less than bodyweight multiple times is my best ability...

First Fran. Curled up in a ball for 10 minutes, then mustered up the strength to walk to a box, sit down, and curl up in a ball again.

18.2 in the Open this year. I RX'd an Open wod and was very, very proud.

It had a "pull up complex" where one rep was knee to elbow, toe to bar, pull-up. I had never been able to do any of those individually and I nailed all three the entire workout. It was pretty special.

  • = 10 burpees over the bar, alternated with 80kg deadlifts. 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 it was my first RX workout within the 20 minute time cap :)

The Chief. My coach put it into one of my testing weeks and it was the first real workout I did Rx. I was like, holy shit I can actually do this.

Probably either Glen or the new hero WOD Saman Kunan. I did both of those in the past couple of weeks. I didn't Rx Glen due to the clean weight but I got through it doing all of the rope climbs Rx. I did do Saman Kunan Rx, and wasn't even the slowest at my box. That was super exciting. I've been doing this 4 months and it's incredible how much more I can do in such a short time

Diane. The first time I did it was the worst I've ever felt in a workout (and scaled...no handstand push-ups for me quite yet), but when I did it two months later I cut my time from 8 minutes to 4

I've never been able to top the day RMU was programmed when I started. Maybe a month in. Had no idea what it was, got 3 shitty strict ones with full lockout on my 1st try. Unfortunately that's as good as it gets with me. But I was immediately famous in my box.

After doing crossfit for 7 months I did murph RX. My biggest win ever.

Mine would be just this past week. 21-15-9 wallballs and TTB (I did TAH) with a 6min cap. I finished under the cap for the first time and it made me go: oh shit. I did it.
