For the elite, this might be a very fast workout, for the rest of us there might be a fair amount of resting. Here are some scaling thoughts:

Thruster: I consider the prescribed load to be moderately heavy but pretty challenging for the total volume of reps to be completed. I will have my athletes utilize loads that allow the first round to be completed with 1-2 short rest breaks. I will likely not reduce the reps today.


Legless Rope Climbs- I consider this to be a very challenging number of rope climbs, when performed in the prescribed fashion. I know that a large portion of my clientele will need to scale this movement to maintain consistency. I will try to preserve the legless demand of the movement per the capacity of each athlete. For some of my athletes, I will be able to have them attempt to climb the rope as high as possible, in a legless fashion, before transitioning to utilizing the legs to complete the climb. An option that I can use, on a rare occasion, is to have an athlete climb utilizing the legs and then perform a legless descent. This option might be a little risky, so I will need to assess athletes for safety during the warm-up.

The rope climb modification performed from lying-to-standing will be an alternative for today. I can have my athletes modify their body position to increase or decrease the demand of the movement. Performing this variation with a straight body position and no leg assistance can be very difficult while a performing this variation with bent legs utilizing lower body assistance can decrease the difficulty.

INTENDED STIMULUS

.

Oh man! There's a lot of 15's in here. This is a heavier, more technical, and nastier cousin of Fran. The thrusters are meant to be heavy enough to mess you up but not heavy enough to slow you that much down. The legless rope climbs are a true challenge but the sets are short. Shoulders might be a little fatigued but these movements do not really interfere with each other --especially if you keep the grip relaxed on the barbell. This is meant to be threshold training at its best. Today commit to one thing: keep your breaks very, very short. Your body will not want to, but you do. Scale the weight on the barbell to something you are positive you could do unbroken for 15 reps when fresh. You should not be taking more than two breaks per set here, with one single break being way better. On the rope climbs try to preserve two aspects, the controlled descent and the volume (i.e. total distance climbed up and down). If you did 190603, use your notes to guide your scaling. The fastest athletes will finish this under 9 minutes. Most athletes should be around the 12-15 range.



OPTION 1

For athletes who have a legless rope climb but not a lot of capacity.



3 rounds for time of:

15 thrusters

1 15-ft. rope climb, legless ascent and leg-assisted descent.

2 15-ft. rope climbs, leg-assisted ascent and leg-assisted slow and controlled descent.



♀ 95 lb. ♂‚ 135 lb.



OPTION 2

For athletes proficient with rope climbs.



3 rounds for time of:

15 thrusters

3 15-ft. rope climbs, leg-assisted ascent and leg-assisted slow and controlled descent.

♀ 80 lb. ♂‚ 115 lb.



OPTION 3

For athletes not yet proficient with rope climbs.

3 rounds for time of:

15 thrusters

12 up-and-downs on rope with body fully extended (hips always open, knees always extended)

♀ 65 lb. ♂‚ 95 lb.



MANTRA

Track your rest!

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT:

It’s funny how this weight is 105 and not 95. What’s not funny, however, is the difference 5’s on each side makes when you’re used to 95-lb thrusters. This one is designed to be a sprint, so that means you should probably modify by adding some volume for people who aren’t ready for that intensity.


I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I can do all the thrusters unbroken and not die descending a rope without my legs. And if I have the technique and fitness level to go for intensity.


ORGANIC SCALES:

Strength — add weight on thrusters, decrease reps

Stamina — 1 round and smush everything together

Endurance — decrease weight on thrusters and go 9 rounds of 15 thrusters and 1 rope climb variation

Flexibility — low, low, low on thrusters, and hang out on top for a bit


NEUROLOGICAL SCALES:

Coordination — use legs on rope climb and let go of the rope on every re-grip with the hands

Accuracy — either set up so rounds are done at an even split, or play with rest between rope climbs so there are no failed attempts

Agility — quick on the squat transition between down and up on thrusters

Balance — you already know, shoes off and keep the feet perfectly still. Go slow motion if you are really in the mood.


GROUP VERSION: I’ll have to marinate on this one some more, but probably something like the Endurance version above. The nature of the rope climb is hard to scale for intensity if you can’t do it fluidly. If ropes are an issue, stations are fine: front squats, push press, rope climb (or pull-up if need be). Try 12 rounds of :20 at each station.


WARMUP:

Squat — obviously

Kipping handstand push-up — an upside down thruster

Hollow hold — overhead prep

Jump rope — always

[insert something you suck at]


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 6 if you are a pretty strong/fit person with legless rope climbs. 7 if you are Jay Junkin and can jump ¾ of the way up the rope on each attempt.

Crap I'm a dummy and read the men's weight at 105. First round unbroken and after that is up in the air; probably 2 sets.


Unless you want to take intensity out of the equation, drop the weight!

I’m 58 yo M. Thinking the M or FM weight is kinda heavy given what I know about myself. Scaling suggestions? 95 is doable, but I’m guessing pain in quads coming after. 65 sounds kinda lame. So does 75. Getting old blows. maybe lower reps

Chris Sinagoga
June 19th, 2019 at 1:02 am

Bruce, when you are doing your thrusters keep your shins as vertical as possible. This means your butt needs to go waaaaayyyy back on the squat.


Check some notes below on my post, but these should be close to unbroken (I originally read the weight wrong). So drop the weight down either a good amount (keep reps similar) or a lot (add reps).

Feel your pain. 62 YOA here. If I were doing this workout for intensity personally I would cut the weight in half to 75 lb. and do the thrusters unbroken. Would have to scale the rope climbs as well, do not have legless.

Globo scale: if you do not have a rope, do 15 strict towel pullups per each round. If a towel is not available do 15 L-sit pullups per round. Another option if in a garage gym is to do shorter rope climbs if you have it, just do 45 feet total per round.


Dumbbell sub: 65/45lb dumbbells for the thrusters. Scale as needed from here.
