Hey TShelly, I did my first Crossfit workout yesterday. I did the Elizabeth WOD. I'm going to a regulat gym not a Crossfit gym so, we don't have "ring dips". I just used the regular dip aparatus wich I am sure is quite a bit easier but gotta start somewhere. My time for all three rounds was 8:16. Not too bad for a 1st time. I haven't done cleans in over 15 yrs and I tell ya it feels like someone has been beating me between the shoulder blades with a hammer this morning. LOL!
That is awesome!! They are slightly easier because the rings take more core muscles to stabilize, but as long as you go full depth, it's still a very similar WOD. I feel you on the cleans, when I first started the Olympic lifting part of CrossFit, it had been years in highschool since I had last done them. Good luck with it, just do what you can in the gym. You'll become more and more addicted as the days past. My top Elizabeth Time is 5:20. Good job on your first time, that is nice
