Unpartitioned 40 minutes is a good time 🙈

EB, I only dabble at this CrossFit stuff in my shed at home but the impression I got is that scaling is perfectly acceptable. Is that not the case at your place?

Yes scaling is fine (jumping/banded pull ups/ ring rows/trx. Knee press ups etc) but when I did the half murph and whenever we've done a full murph we have done all exercises in full and in sequence. I have read that you can partition the movements but I've only ever known my box to do it like that 🤷‍♀️

I think I will be quicker partitioning it. I know its also acceptable to partition but I also like to choose the hardest way to do things.

Looking back on the group thread the advice was to do it in sequence but for newbies to partition it to 10/20/30 if they could complete them unbroken and in 2 minutes if not drop the rep scheme further so they could work continously and aim for for 40-50 mins 😯

(you can tell I don't really read the advice very often)

I fully accept that the 5/10/15 x 20 rep partition isn't as hard but I'm thinking of how I'll get through it at all! If I tried to do the full reps in sequence I'd be there all day! Even 10/20/30 would be tough. 10 pull ups is beyond me after the first set.

I don't have even one pull up hence the scaling. I am only just repeating what the box had said in May (which I never actually read at the time or I would have partitioned) This isn't my personal opinion on what anyone should or shouldn't do. I thought by repeating the 10/20/30 in 2 minutes would be helpful for people to try before hand so they could decide on how to do their own partitioning.

I haven't done a full murph yet. Last time it was a workout at the box I walked out and left. For me mentally and physically this will be like everest.

This is a beast of a workout and whichever way any of us complete it it will be a huge achievement 💪

What's the best way of scaling the pull-ups? I think I could do the others, but I am not able to do even 1 pull up... 🤔 Is it still possible to try?
