This one looks dirty! Here are some thoughts on scaling:


Rowing: I will have most of my athletes complete the entire distance, each round. In some cases, I will use time guidelines to assess when reducing distance may be beneficial. For example, if I have an athlete that is likely to row the initial 500 meters in over 2:30 minutes, I will consider reducing the distance each round or have them row for a 2:30 duration each round.


Double-unders: I consider volume of this movement to be relatively high, and challenging, when arranged in this fashion. High-level athletes will likely not take longer than approximately 1-1.5 minutes to complete a set of 100 reps. For athletes that have experience with this movement, but lack consistency, my first option will be to have them complete 2-2.5-minutes of double-under attempts. For athletes that are new or de-conditioned, I will likely have them complete 100 single-unders each round today.


Thrusters: I consider the load to be light where the reps should be able to be completed consecutively each round. I will have athletes utilize loads to achieve this goal. If an athlete is new or de-conditioned, I will have them reduce reps as well as the load.

Intended Stimulus


Oh my lungs! Today is a high-heart-rate short-to-medium-effort workout. For all purposes this is a 3 mile run in which you push your heart out. Visualize the perfect race here. Open with a very doable pace on the first round, increase on the second one, leave nothing on the third. This should be a fun run for people that usually does not like to run -i.e. CrossFitters. On the double-unders, pick a number of repetitions you can complete in less than 1:30 on each round. If one hundred is too much, or you think this skill will get in the way of the stimulus we want, practice dubs before or after the workout, and then scale during the workout. Be proud of choosing the skill with which you can express intensity, and not the skill you cannot express in an intense context. On the Thrusters, don't let the light weight fool you. The weight is light so that you can do them unbroken. If 45 feels light but you don't think you will be able to them unbroken, pick lighter. The same applies for the row. Pick a distance you can crush, and not something that will crush you. Today let's crush this shit! Let's FLY!


Option 1

3 rounds for time of:

500-m row

60 double-unders

20 thrusters

Men: 45 lb.

Women: 35 lb.


Option 2

3 rounds for time of:

400-m row

100 single-unders

20 dumbbell thrusters

Men: 20 lb.

Women: 15 lb.


Options for double unders


If you are proficient with single, single, double, then do a total of 40 doubles. Just count the doubles. Make sure brefore or after the workout you practice stringing doubles together for 10 minutes.


If you can string doubles but you pike really hard, or bend your knees like you are jumping on a box, don't default to doubles. You are getting the standard but you are not getting better at jumping rope. Do singles faster with great body positioning and good jump mechanics. And by faster I mean faster! The push will be in going fast from the wrists. The faster your wrists get the less you have to compensate by creating space for the rope by piking or kicking. Work what you need to work, sustained and fast RPM!

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT:

Hello Helen. That’s the first workout that came to mind when I first saw this thing come up. I would definitely NOT call this Just A Workout because the weights, reps, and distances on this thing seem to be laid out as such that will allow us to go just fast enough where we want to die.


I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I can go under 10 minutes.


ORGANIC SCALES:

Strength — heavy weight on thrusters, less reps, and rest between rounds. Maybe high box jumps instead of jump ropes

Stamina — one round of 1,500m run, 300 double unders, 60 thrusters. Geez that looks horrible.

Endurance — scale appropriately

Flexibility — slow down thrusters and pause at end range


NEUROLOGICAL SCALES:

Coordination — feeling a fall while you are tired is one of the hardest things to do in running. so is controlling the bottom of the thruster. Both take coordination.

Accuracy — even splits on running/rowing. Then the double unders…

Agility — quick down and up on thrusters. Add change of direction on run, or side-to-side hops with feet together instead of double unders

Balance — draw a circle on the ground and stay inside it for jump ropes


GROUP VERSION: the biggest thing here is going to be making sure there’s enough room to have jump ropes and bars out all at once. Being that there’s only 3 rounds should help, but I can guarantee dumbbells and kettlebells will be used — especially since it’s calling for light weight.


WARMUP:

Running jump rope — we don’t have a rower, so good prep for running

Squat — obviously

Kb swing — core to extremity for thrusters

Pull-ups — overhead prep and hang from a bar and extension in kipping is same as running

Ghd sit-ups — haven’t seen them in a minute and I’m worried, so we should stay fresh



GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 8. Tripping/shoulders getting fried on jump ropes should give us a rest at some points. Otherwise it would be higher.

Not sure 10min is reasonable. If an athlete can row a 1:45, 100 DUs in a min, and the thrusters in 30sec exactly each round and have zero transition time, it would take 9:15 to complete.

Good looks Sebastien. I am not very familiar with rowing (our only one at the gym is broken), and I was basing it off a 400m run sub. I should have noted that.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch. I think for most docs, it’s not big money but literally a lunch or dinner. While it’s the professional norm, it’s important for us docs to remember we are not in just any other profession.


I think most docs are honest, at least we like to think we are. Or are we justifying behavior. I find this article interesting (The dishonestly of honest people):

Globo scale: As rxed. If no rower is available run 400m (track, treadmill with slight incline, or outside). If you do not have a jump rope sub 50 tuck jumps.


If no barbell is available use dumbbells 25/15lbs for the thrusters.
