What is a good time for Too Soon? (35:00 - 50:00)?

Good times for Too Soon? (35:00 - 50:00) depend on your fitness level: Elite athletes finish under 12:00, advanced athletes target 12:00-9:30, intermediate athletes aim for 9:30-7:30, and beginners should focus on proper form over 7:30.

What is considered a good Too Soon? (35:00 - 50:00) time?

A good Too Soon? (35:00 - 50:00) time for most CrossFit athletes is between 9:30-7:30 (intermediate level). Elite times are under 12:00, but focus on consistent movement and proper form rather than just speed.

How fast should I do Too Soon? (35:00 - 50:00)?

Your Too Soon? (35:00 - 50:00) pace should match your fitness level. Beginners should aim to finish around 7:30 with good form, while advanced athletes can target 12:00-9:30. Always prioritize proper movement over speed.

How do I scale Too Soon? (35:00 - 50:00)?

Too Soon? (35:00 - 50:00) can be scaled by reducing weights, modifying movements (like assisted pull-ups), or adjusting volume. Consult with a coach for personalized scaling options.

What muscles does Too Soon? (35:00 - 50:00) work?

Too Soon? (35:00 - 50:00) primarily works the muscles involved in Row, Pull-Up. This workout develops muscular endurance.

Workout Description

3 ROUNDS:500m Row15 Pull Ups

Why This Workout Is Medium

This workout combines moderate cardiovascular demand with upper body pulling strength across three rounds. The 500m row provides active recovery between pull-up sets, preventing complete grip failure. While 45 total pull-ups is substantial volume, the built-in rowing recovery allows most average CrossFitters to complete as prescribed. The limiting factor will be pull-up endurance rather than overwhelming fatigue accumulation, making this challenging but manageable.

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Stamina (8/10): Forty-five total pull-ups combined with 1500m of rowing heavily taxes upper body pulling stamina and grip endurance throughout the workout.
Endurance (7/10): Three rounds of 500m rowing creates significant cardiovascular demand, requiring sustained aerobic output with brief recovery periods between rounds.
Speed (6/10): Success depends on maintaining consistent rowing pace and efficient pull-up cycling to minimize rest between movements across three rounds.
Power (4/10): Rowing stroke has moderate power component during the drive phase, while pull-ups are more strength-endurance focused with minimal explosive demand.
Strength (3/10): Pull-ups require moderate relative strength, while rowing demands some pulling strength, but neither movement approaches maximal strength requirements.
Flexibility (3/10): Rowing requires hip hinge mobility and pull-ups need shoulder flexibility, but both movements use standard ranges of motion.

Benchmark Notes

This workout consists of 3 rounds of 500m Row + 15 Pull-Ups, scored for time. I'll analyze this by comparing to Helen (3 rounds: 400m run, 21 KB swing, 12 pull-up) as the closest anchor, then adjust for the differences. Movement breakdown per round: - 500m Row: 85-120 sec fresh (vs 400m run ~75-105 sec in Helen) - 15 Pull-Ups: 15-30 sec fresh (vs 12 pull-ups ~12-24 sec in Helen) Round-by-round analysis: Round 1 (fresh): 500m row 85-120 sec + 15 pull-ups 15-30 sec + transition 3-5 sec = 103-155 sec Round 2 (1.1x fatigue): 500m row 94-132 sec + 15 pull-ups 17-33 sec + transition 3-5 sec = 114-170 sec Round 3 (1.2x fatigue): 500m row 102-144 sec + 15 pull-ups 18-36 sec + transition 3-5 sec = 123-185 sec Total estimated times: 340-510 sec (5:40-8:30) Comparing to Helen anchor (450-570 sec for L10, 630-750 sec for L5, 900-1140 sec for L1): - This workout has 500m row vs 400m run (+25% distance) - Has 15 vs 12 pull-ups (+25% reps) - Missing the 21 KB swings (significant reduction) The rowing is slightly longer than Helen's run, and we have more pull-ups, but we're missing the metabolically demanding KB swings entirely. This should make the workout roughly 15-20% faster than Helen overall. Adjusted benchmarks: L10: 380-430 sec → 300-330 sec (male) L5: 530-630 sec → 450 sec (male) L1: 760-960 sec → 720 sec (male) Final male benchmarks: L10: 300-330 sec, L5: 450 sec, L1: 720 sec
