Awesome tips!!! followed it exactly as instructed. and smashed my PR!!! in 2019 (when i started crossfit) I did Grace in 2m40s with 95lbs and yesterday after using all your tips I smashed RX Grace in 2m27s. #quicksingles Thank you SOOOO much

[@renop2023]

It worked! I'm in my late 40's and the last time I did Grace it was 5.51 - I focused on just doing singles keeping bar close to me and making sure the clips were tight against the plates. I did Grace tonight at RX weight and got 4.43 PB. Thank you for the great tips 👍🙂

Not watched the video yet but can see this being a really good series idea. Do one benchmark workout every week for example 💪🏼

I like how you wear a red shirt when you are doing it WRONG, and a black shirt when you are doing it right. Subtle but I noticed.

[@WODprep]

YES! This is the first time I tried this and the fact that you recognized it... makes me :)

[@chris_harshbarger]

love the "Benchmark" videos!! Thank you for the strategy! I'm going to put this into use next time this is on the whiteboard

Super helpful! Posted this video on our gym’s Facebook group chat! Rx 2:47, pretty sure my time a year and a half ago was closer to 4 mins!

[@samanthabatdorf9075]

I did Grace today and this strategy worked great!! 3:57

[@WODprep]

Nice one!

Ok.. so not being a crossfitter but into all kinds of fitness for 30 + years..I used the push press and lowered the bar down each rep and got 3.36.. (from your expert advice i might even have broken 3 minutes if i dropped the weight) not bad for 52 years old.

[@itsmejb18]

PR'd and got 2:21! Beat my old score by 3 seconds. I ended up doing 22 single reps. I would have been faster and more consistent if I had just did all 30 reps in singles. This video definitely helped!

[@raychill1502]

The first time I did grace I got time capped at 10 minutes, and I don’t think I even did rx weight. Two years later, showing up consistently, and coming up with a solid game plan, I did this RX in 3:35. Goal would be eventually to go sub 2!

[@sergonia]

Will try that strategies for all wods.

[@nathanstainer1327]

love the "kosher" comment, made my day :)

[@carloduo3318]

Perfect video in perfect time for me!👍

[@mpniek1]

Thanks, especially the clarification on singles was very useful

[@petergardner1810]

great stuff- ive subscribed- im a newbe...do you think there would be benefit in 25 singles and 5 unbroken at the end - using the last of your energy?

[@stephanepaternotte9148]

Thanks a lot for those very good advice

[@adriengoux]

good tips! always surprising to see how fast are singles compare to series + resting in between.

Ben, another great video. I had a good LOL at the 3:24 mark where you did the "too much weight" demo. While that looked true to reality, I'm sure doing that was challenging in some interesting ways. Question: I can do several C&J at 135#, however the time to finish is too long for my goal. What would be a good strategy to get faster? Would it be to keep 135# and keep practicing until I can complete it under 5 minutes (example), or would it be to do a lighter weight (say, 95#) to finish under the time goal, then increase 5-10# each workout attempt (again until keeping it under the time goal) until I reach 135#? Hopefully that isn't too convoluted of a question!

[@WODprep]

Significantly harder than doing it the right way!

[@spencergsmith]

Both - constant variance 😉

[@steinleeschreiber909]

Shattered my Grace time new PR 4:35 for this 52 year old

[@jessemosqueda1603]
