I'll try to touch on this topic in my Op...Kim,<br /><br />I'll try to touch on this topic in my Open wrap-up post (which probably won't actually be until Monday due to work commitments this week). However, I think it's really tough to draw any precise conclusions with the data we have. We can see how many people did not post a score for 13.4 after completing 13.3 (it's about 10% for me and 19% for women), which gives us a rough estimate of those that can't do a 135/95 clean and jerk. Now, then if you look at the percentage that finished exactly 3 reps, you're limiting the pool of people only to those that CAN do a 135/95 C&J. There's no way to know how many additional people couldn't have done the T2B or the C&J at all. And of course, there are other reasons people drop out of the competition, so we can't say for sure that 10%/19% of the population can't do a 135/95 C&J.<br /><br />I'll be showing some numbers for attrition week-to-week in my next post. For women, 13.4 was definitely the one that hit the hardest, but for men, the drop-off was fairly typical.<br /><br />When I get time in the coming days, I'll check your blog as well. Always nice to see others are thinking about things from this perspective as well.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451889274303028096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734272724196423841.post-34125390593216267832013-04-12T12:03:00.778-04:002013-04-12T12:03:00.778-04:00I was going to make a similar comment to Jen's...I was going to make a similar comment to Jen's. I'd question assumption that T2B is easy for some folk who can't do a 135/95 CJ.<br /><br />The analysis I did of the 13.4 stats showed that there were ~180 men that registered a single rep of CJ (which doesn't tell us much - some that couldn't CJ likely didn't enter a score), but about 350 men who entered a score of 3, which were all likely ones that couldn't get past the first T2B. I know we had a couple guys at our box in that camp. Strong guys, but large guys that are beginner crossfitters.<br /><br />BTW, you might like the analysis I did which you can find here:<br />http://kpcrossfit.blogspot.com/2013/04/2013-crossfit-open-post-mortem-thoughts.html<br /> KimPallisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10418501466730095519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734272724196423841.post-61364016476863945762013-04-05T15:34:20.710-04:002013-04-05T15:34:20.710-04:00That's interesting.

I'd be curious to know the percentage of CrossFitters who can complete a legitimate toes-to-bar vs. the percentage who can complete a clean and jerk at 135/95. I wonder if it's different between men and women. There may be some ways we could get a proxy for that based on how many people got stuck at 27 reps on last year's 12.3 (15 box jumps + 12 push press + 0 toes-to-bar). However, that does limit the field to those who could get through 12 push press at a decent weight. Then again, anyone still remaining in the field by 13.4 must have been able to do at least 1 push press at 115 (in 13.2).<br /><br />I plan to try and grab all the scores this year once 13.5 is closed. At that point I could probably come up with some rough estimates for this comparison.

Switching the order would not be helpful for newer female crossfitters, I don't think. MANY women at our gym were able to PR their C&J, but could not get their first toes to bar. Just a thought.<br /><br />PS I love the reps per minute graph, these are really helpful for strategy.Jen Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02398592520025555078noreply@blogger.com
