So, Jerry sent us a list of benchmarks - there are 4 levels: Healthy beginner, intermediate athlete, advanced athete, elite athlete.
The healthy beginner stage should be able to be reached in 3-12 months. I've been doing Crossfit for 3 months at this point. I'm going to list all of the benchmarks, and where I'm at on them. Some I have surpassed, some I know I have not yet reached, and some I have not tried. The ones in purple are goals I already have set for myself! The ones in orange are goals I have already surpassed, and the ones in red are benchmarks that I have not yet tested.

Cara, most of the numbered bench marks are non-stop without rest.
So it's 50 non-stop air-squats
25 Non-stop KB swings, no problem for you with a 36lber, but how about 45lb?
High Pull 90lb ?
(We do these with a KB)
Wallball 25 wall balls (25 non-stop with butt to barrier and target at 8 feet)
Vertical Jump 10in ? Probably with box jumps
(this is vert jump, not box...make a mark on wall with out reached hand...jump and mark...measure)
Dips 3 dips What kind of dips?
(bar dips, we don't have a bar...3 ring dip would be impressive!)
Ah - I understand. So I'm not sure if I could do 50 non-stop, I'm going to have to try that sometime! I don't think I can do 25 non-stop KB swing with the 45lb yet - give me a few more weeks :)
Maybe we could try out some of these benchmarks sometime?
"Maybe we could try out some of these benchmarks sometime?"
Grab a witness and have at it...
Before class in the ring room or after class works well.
Alright!
I just tried out the squats, sit-ups, and push-ups.
I got 50 squats non-stop, terrible form, but that's what I get for not warming up first!
30 situps non-stop wasn't too bad.
I got in 3 standard push-ups before I started seeing spots! Only 7 to go!
Cara,
WAY TO GO FOR IT!
Talk is cheap, action speaks volumes!
However, you know me...gotta demand excellence;
"I got 50 squats non-stop, terrible form"
I'd say terrible form is not passing a skill set wouldnt you?
Hey! It was lack of flexibility... not lack of skill... :-P
Don't worry - I'll try it again soon after warming up!
