Yeah... I would not pay to go to a gym like that. They post workouts everyday on CrossFit.com, I have my own equipment and follow that for the most part. Starting out though I'd encourage you to find a gym with a quality coach that can teach you the movements and help you identify flexibility issues that will be good for you to start addressing. Doesn't sound like that's what you're getting.
curious and thank you.
Squat down to the floor, kick your feet out while on your hands, do a push-up, back to squat position, jump up and hit a target 6" above your reach. That's one.
We called them up-downs in high school.
So I just had 100 reps Rx. Top at my box (Invictus in Holland) so far has been 150 reps.
Most people can't snatch 135 w/out some practice--especially when you are that tired. I would like to see video of the gym owner who says he hit 204. That is... Suspicious.
If you want to see a legit 190 and 194 you can watch the following video, start at 15:15.

Thanks for making me feel better about failing at 135. Definitely have a few moves I need more practice on.
It seems to hav a cultish hold over a certain percentage of its practicioners, sort of like the Atkins diet 10 years ago, and so people get annoyed at the "ZOMG it's teh only real workout, bro. CROSSFIT f*** yeah!"
That said, it is a pretty good workout and can be a perfect fit for some people.
