question for cross fitters

so last night was my first non-elements class. I know you're not supposed to compare, but I was by far the weakest person in the class. I couldn't even do a proper clean with only the 35 pound bar, the teacher had to adjust the exercise for me, while everyone else had weight on their bar.

How long did it take you before you saw some improvement?

If you have a good coach, you'll have it in no time at all. I remember practicing the clean and jerk with a body bar. Then doing just the bella bar one week for practice. I was so upset because the two other girls had their bars loaded up. The very next week I had a ten pund weight on each side and now I can clean and jerk 65 pounds. It's amazing how fast it works.
Which gym do you ladies go to?

I go to Oceanside. What is a Bella bar? Is that the silver 35 lb one? I didn't think about a body bar; I wonder if my CF has them. The teacher scaled it down by having me shrug and thrust with the silver bar

Bella bar, or female bar, is the 35 pound one.
