Commented on: Why Does Exercise Guard Against Cancer? Inflammation May Play a Role

Where I have no doubt exercise guards against cancer, I have found a benefit in cancer recurrence and normalizing issues created from cancer treatments. After having gone through a fairly aggressive cancer treatment 8 years ago, I had been told my bone density would be an issue as well as immune system/white blood count. And for 8 years that was true. Less than a year after starting CrossFit, my doctor shook my hand as being one of the few patients ever to increase bone density. And my blood values are back in normal range. Making no mention of all the obvious benefits of having joined CrossFit after 46 years of a sedentary life. Confused the heck out of my doctor, but data is data!

I was in SoCal last week – making up the missed WODs on rest days. I’m also fasting today, so I scaled this down quite a bit, preserving the motion at lower weight, as follows:


15 x hang squat clean / thruster @ 75lbs

40 calories elliptical Level 12

19:08


I should have gone a little heavier on the squat clean / thruster motion. I was happy to combine the movement to save time but then it was a bit easy at 75lbs. That said, I loved this WOD and will repeat one day, probably at more like 95lbs.

As rx’d (power cleans), 23:49.


I was prepared for a very suck-filled WOD, and…I guess…this did not disappoint. I mean, I survived. But it did suck. Broke cleans 5-5-5 each round (or really 5-5-4 and then 1-into thrusters). Thrusters 10-5 or 9-6 — happy to keep them in two pieces. Mentally fatiguing to have to pick that bar up again. Tried to really pace the rows, each one turned out to be right around 3:58/3:59. Last round I started the row very slowly as I was just gassed — but I felt good enough to pick up the pace somewhere between 500 and 750.

28:30. This was a pathetic effort for me. A weekend of traveling, drinking, eating poorly, and not sleeping caught up with me. I started off smooth with the barbell on Round 1 and decided I wanted to run 800s today. Started cramping immediately & ended up walking a lot. It was bad. Went hard on the barbell on the 2nd round and got to the rower and died. Couldn't pull less than 2 minute 500's. Legs were exploding with pain. The 3rd round, I just blacked out. I don't know what happened except that it took me a long time to finish.

This is my first time trying CrossFit. :)


Over the past weekend my mom my sister and I all went to a CrossFit competion. And while I was there it inspired me to try a new way in working out even as tiring as cross fit looks/is it also seems like a lot of fun. I did 3 sets of 15 cleans and thrusts but instead of 95# I only did about 35. As low as that may seem I was pretty proud of my self 1) because it was my first ever CF workout and 2) afterwards my legs and arms were so tired. Instead of rowing (we dont have a machine) I did 3 total miles of biking. 1 mile each set. It took me a total of 23:32! Overall I would definitely say this workout was a success and I can’t wait till I try the next one!!

Newby. Well this one killed me. Never have done thrusters or cleans before. Scalled down to 95 and was able to do sets of 10. biggest issue for me was the squat part of both. Had a hard time with allowing myself to go all the way down. No problem on the row. This is one of those workouts which builds character. Haha.

Agree with the comment above that you can push through the thrusters faster even though it will feel like you can’t. At least that was how I felt afterwards.

29:15 for 3 rounds. Round 1: Rx cleans and Rx one thruster then scaled to 85# for remaining 14 thrusters. Rounds 2-3: 85# for all cleans and thrusters. Row Rx all rounds.

Those last 10 thrusters included a fair amount of time gasping for breath and wishing they were finished already...

28:58 Rx


I took too frequent and lengthy rests during my thrusters. It hurts, but if you haven’t done the workout yet you can go a little harder on the thrusters than you may think.

This was really helpful advice...I read your comment beforehand and throughout my thrusters I kept remembering "Sebastien says I should pick up the bar..." And you were right! I could handle more than I thought. Thanks!

Whenever I see a workout that prescribes “cleans” I take it to mean that the lift is taken from the ground to the shoulders in any fashion, whether it be a squat clean, power clean, or muscle clean. I will teach and instruct a power clean today, as this will likely be the most efficient, for most athletes, while also complementing the thruster and row to a large degree.


Cleans and Thrusters: I consider this to be a moderate weight and moderate volume for both movements. I will recommend loads that my athletes could potentially perform 15 reps in a row with, even though I won’t recommend performing unbroken sets of 15 in the workout. This general guideline should allow for a fair amount of consistency and intensity throughout the duration of the workout. During the latter portion of the build-up time I will have each athlete show me 3-5 reps of each movement, with their intended working weight, to assess if the loading is accurate for the goal of the day. For newer athletes, I may reduce the reps as well as the load.


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 1000 meters in over 5:00 minutes, I will consider reducing the distance each round or have them row for a 5:00 duration each round.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT:

Weight heavy enough to go unbroken the first round but not the next? Mono piece long enough to not be a sprint? Movement have fatiguing effect on one another? Going to suck no matter how you go about it? Sounds like Just a Workout to me. Finish is the name of the game.

Also, I always take “cleans” to mean full squat, so that should make this much more fun!


I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I could go unbroken if I really wanted to on the first round


ORGANIC SCALES:

Strength — add weight, less reps, less distance, rest between rounds

Stamina — 1 round of 45/45/3000m

Endurance — pretty good as is, maybe lower distance on row/run

Flexibility — do some rack position mobility before the workout and slow the squat portion of each barbell movement to work on the new range of motion


NEUROLOGICAL SCALES:

Coordination — lump the cleans and thrusters together in one movement, lighten up the weight a ton, and do 30 reps per round. More reps gives you more feedback on the unweight for each movement

Accuracy — add a rest between rounds and try to make each round the same time

Agility — quick transition from down to up on barbell, change row to agility course run/sport-specific change-of-direction skill

Balance — don’t move feet on barbell movements, sub running and pay attention to falling


GROUP VERSION: As is, just scale the row (or run, for us) so cadence in the feet can stay consistent


WARMUP:

Running jump rope — running prep

Squat — obviously

Kipping handstand push-up — upside down thruster

Box jump — landing on cleans

Hollow rock — prep for overhead and running (do candlestick if rowing to simulate backwards fall)



GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 7. General crappy one. no way around it.

Intended Stimulus



¡Ay bendito! That is Spanish for "there is nowhere to hide, sis!" This is a mix of stamina and endurance. Heavy thrusters and long rows, with some cleans added to get the spice going right from the beginning. The only option you have here is to pick a weight that is a little too heavy so that you end up taking a lot of breaks and looking at that bar for answers. But you know that just leads to frustration, and the bar has no answers. Make peace with this, today is how we build grit. Remember, if you row slow enough, you can always recover a little on the rower. And remember: 1000 meters will feel long no matter how slow you go. Today is about staying with the grind, breathing and relaxing the grip, while you push hard and hang on to the pace. That difficult balance of relaxation and fight is what we are after today. Pick a weight at which you can do 15 thrusters unbroken when fresh with effort. Pick a distance on the rower that is uncomfortable but doable.



TECHNIQUE TIP: A solid front rack position will save the shoulders and the upper back today, and you will need both pretty hard.



OPTION 1

3 rounds for time of:

15 cleans

15 thrusters

1,000-m row

♀ 80 lb. ♂‚ 115 lb.



OPTION 2

3 rounds for time of:

15 cleans

15 thrusters

800-m row

♀ 55 lb. ♂‚ 75 lb.

Globo scale-as Rxed. If necessary due to gym setup do the barbell work then do a 3k row. Otherwise, if no rower is availale run 800m (track, outside or treadmill with slight incline), or 50 cal assault bike. Finally you can sub in 50 empty barbell sumo deadlift high pulls and 30 burpees per 1k row.

Dumbbell solution for this wod is 50/35 lb dbs.
