Last week marked the completion of my 2 week trial at Crossfit Manayunk. I was able to attend 8 classes.
You need to start somewhere, right?

Lets consider the following to be my beginner stats:
Strength:
Front Squat - 105 pounds
Back Squat - 105 pounds
Squat Clean - 85 pounds
Power Cleans - 75 pounds
Hang Squat Clean - 55 pounds
Overhead Squats - 35 pounds
Jerks - 55 pounds
Snatch - 60 pounds
Deadlifts - 85 pounds
Metcon:
Max dubs in 2 minutes - 22
Max chest to bar pull-ups in 2 minutes - 15 (using orange band)
***
Again, these stats were pulled from the 2 weeks (8 classes) that I've been a part of the crossfit community. I started off very slow to ensure that I do not injure myself and to give myself the opportunity to work on my form before I focus on lifting heavier weights.
The most difficult thing for me at this time is focusing on ME instead of everyone else. Everyone else is more experienced and have been using these movements for a longer period of time, allowing them to move around more weight. I need to focus on myself and eventually I'll get on their level :-)
Note: I have not done any of the crossfit benchmark workouts yet.
*If you have any questions regarding what these Metcon's actually are, just shoot me a message at crazyhealthyfit@gmail.com or comment below.
Do you remember what your weights were as a beginner, when you first began crossfit?
Even if you do not belong to a crossfit gym, tell me your favorite lift?
