Looks like a good one. Can't wait!

Congratulations RJ! Great job on the success that you have had and more to come. Keep changing lives brotha!
Rory,

14:28 rx'd... a little heavy for me
Complete noob here, but been doing a pretty regular body building type routine for decades, my first kick at the WOD, did 7 sets and holy crap I almost puked!!!! Thanks for the new workouts, helping did deep for some newly needed motivation.
Looking forward to the next few grueling weeks!!!

#34 Jay W. the difference between the 2 Overhead lifts is all in the landing and hip drive
Dip: Instead of using your arms to finish the press, you press and dip a second time simultaneously, catching the bar in a partial squat with the arms fully extended overhead
Alternatively, you can think of the jerk as a jump and land.
See video link below

I will keep on trying though.

185 push jerk was too heavy. Did 165 x 1 set, 145 x 2 sets, and 135 x 2 sets.
After only two rounds (push jerk scaled to 135#) my right wrist and elbow were done. Everything else feels fine.
Did another round with 115, but it still hurt pretty bad, so I finished the 100 remaining JR and was happy about getting 135 up twenty times. Only ever put bodyweight overhead for one rep before.
Thank you Crossfit for my third WOD

Scaled to 135 push jerk didn't have a squat rack and it was tiring to clean 185 each set. I still need a lot of work on my double unders... Lol

oh, @JayW and anyone else who wants a good clarification on press/push press/push jerk - Khalipa has a good instructional on the three movements, essentially (simplified) Press = no legs, push press = legs once, push jerk = legs twice. (my very simplified version with no technical advice specifics)

Ok I messed up. As Rx'd except for the 1 minute rest in between sets. Went balls deep & didn't stop. Although I needed to break up the push jerks & honestly a lot of them were more like push press.
My 6 y/o son did:
Elementary:
5 thrusters, 5#
6 burpees
7 knees-to-elbows or knee raises
8 lunge steps
9 sit-ups
25 double-unders or single-unders
9 sit-ups
8 lunge steps
7 toes-to bar
6 burpees
5 thrusters, 5#
then said that the 5 pounders were to light & he should've done 10 pound dumbells. Little brat. lol
Couldn't do pjs so did
1000 su's and 150 situps

My poor brain can't figure out the photo - did no-one else look closely at the right hand side pull-up rack area?
Is it two time-lapsed images, is that why the shadow on the white wall, shows full arm extension while the fellow himself is bent armed chin over bar? And what about the head and shoulders of the fellow below the bar, beside the red tshirt, he has no legs.. and my brain snaps when I try to look at the neck angle of the woman in mid-motion on the bar... is her head facing away from the bar while her body is toward it? The lovely ponytail woman standing facing away, also looks caught in two poses, because it may be shadowy, but does she have two heads?
As I said, my brain can't parse that photo as a one-time snapshot of an event...
Anyone else see this?

50 knee tucks
155# PJ x 10
1 minute rest
For those subbing single ropes for DUs, I highly rec subbing knee tucks instead. I used to do singles for sub also and they do not provide the impact and lung burn that knee tucks do. Knee tucks are also listed as the appropriate sub for DUs by HQ. Just a thought.
As rx'd, 17:49 (not including last minute of rest).
Wow, 185 got heavy fast. Probably should not have done the push jerks unbroken in round 1. Round 2 was 6-3-1, and other rounds 4-3-3. Took these from the rack and glad I did. Double-unders unbroken in rounds 2 and 5, only 1 miss in rounds 1 and 4. Struggled some in round 3. Splits (working time):

M/ 38/ 134 lbs/ 5'-6"
I did a different WOD last night
(the night before I did the weighted pullups & walking lunges with bar in rack position)
last night I did:
couplet (not for time but keep it moving) of:
Split Jerk (from rack) x 5,4,3
Towel Pullups (L position) 8 reps
I was concentrating on GOOD FORM and good speed with really pushing UNDER the bar.
bar
95 lbs x 5 + towel pullups x 6
115 lbs x 5 + towel pullups x 6
135 lvs x 5 + towel pullups L position x 8
145 lbs x 4 + towel pullups L position x 8
155 lbs x 3 + towel pullups L position x 8
155 lbs x 3 + towel pullups L position x 8
155 lbs x 3 + towel pullups L position x 8
towel pullups were GREAT on grip. I need to start adding them for my grip development.
Jerk felt pretty good overall, but I STILL NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON PUSHING MY BODY DOWN UNDER THE BAR.
My neck and back are a little tight. I think I'm shoving my head too far back out of the way and loading up my upper back too much with a little bit of hyperextention in the lowering of the weight.
