Next time, try to do this when kids aren’t sleeping so I can drop from the top.
SLIPS: held scales for 15-20 sec each position, L-sits were knee raises for first minute then full L-sit second minute (legs just above 45*), held first handstand for 40 seconds then 30 then 20, various plank positions for whole 2:00, couch stretch 2:00 each leg)

I don't think I ever had a good squat clean so researched and practiced a lot and found that my split-jerk is also horrible - leaning forwards.
Worked up to 175 lbs but that was a high catch - need to add c&j work to my regular rotation ASAP
EMOM for 5 minutes: 3 strict pull-ups with pronated grip.
3x20 sec knees to chest hanging from bar
2x30 sec front squat hold at bottom with empty barbell
10 good mornings with empty barbell
EMOM for 5 minutes: 3 strict shoulder presses at 75 lb.
Completed 07/22/2019.

Only my 3rd week of CrossFit so I’m still new and learning. On these reps, is there any rest? Or rest just long enough to add the weight for the next rep? How is it supposed to work?

For max effort rest as needed; 2 -5 minutes is normal for big numbers; if you are new to this focus on technique don’t worry as much on how much weight even if it’s just the bar until it feels and looks good. This movement is better to learn with a coach but there are lots of resources on mainsite and on YouTube if you know where to look.

Regarding At Home Wod:
This is a nice day for a challenge!
Try completing 4, 6, or 8 minutes of those burpees with side step over obstacle.
You can do the kneeling first burpee version or bending to put hands in ground first and jumping to plank version if you are feeling ninja today.
After setting the clock and starting it forget about it and just focus on your body moving and try to keep a nice tight midline across the entire time frime. Move with the purpose of impeding fatigue to break you. Adjust, breath, but keep pushing.
Either you try 4-6 or 8 minutes you might want to post your personal score (total reps) on comments below and in your training log. Both for keeping track on your progress and to inspire another to maybe start training after reading your post.
My mom is jumping into this program because I will be moving to usa and wont be able to coach her as I used to, so I will ve posting bites for her (71 years young) and anyone who might find them useful.

Big bars are not my "thing". But -hey- I don't think I ever achieved 140 before. I guess all these gymnastic/static holds are making a difference after all.

Commented on: Why Eating Processed Foods Might Make You Fat
This paper’s conclusion isn’t as much of a “duh” as it first seems.
We know, in the broad sense, that processed foods are bad for us. But there are two possible reasons why. One reason might be that food processing is inherently bad; the alternative is that processed foods tend to be bad for other reasons - say, they’re more energy dense, higher in carbohydrate or fat content, higher in glycemic index, lower in fiber, etc. - and that processing is just a proxy for those other factors. To my knowledge, this is the first trial to directly test the first claim, by comparing two diets that are meant to be identical but for the fact that one consists of highly processed foods and the other does not. In other words, is the same amount of fat, carbohydrates, sugars, etc. worse for you when you eat it as processed food?
At a glance, the results seem to suggest the answer is “yes”. A processed-food diet led to higher caloric consumption than an unprocessed diet, when the two diets were as equal as possible in all other factors. That would suggest that processed food leads us to eat more calories, specifically because it is processed. If true, that would have significant implications for the cause, and potential treatments, of obesity. However, there are reasons to hesitate to extrapolate from these results:
First, both diets were a “standard American” diet - moderately high in both carbs and fat. Assuming you COULD create a processed diet that was, say, low-carb or low-fat, would this effect still exist?
Second, despite researchers’ best efforts, there were meaningful differences between diets. If, for example, fiber affects appetite / caloric consumption, fiber consumed as food may have very different effects from fiber consumed as supplements.
Third, and most importantly, this was a short study of a small number of subjects in a highly unusual environment. The nutrition literature is full of short-term studies that do not replicate over longer time periods. I’m sure future research will show if this is one of them.
From a pragmatic standpoint, this may be splitting hairs for many - either way, the average unprocessed diet WILL be healthier than the average processed-food diet, whichever of the two reasons above is correct. But this question of whether processed food is inherently bad may be one of the most important ones to answer as we look toward truly scalable solutions to the epidemics of obesity and metabolic disease in the U.S.

I am wondering if the more processed foods have more exposure to endocrine disruptors--the ingredients touch more plastic surfaces and are repeatedly packaged. Also the individual food consituents may be extracted with solvents or there may be more chemical reactions that produce undesirable byproducts.

Then, 5:00 of 5 Frog Stand Leans, Max L-Sit, Max Handstand
Heavy day! It's been a while since we have done some heavy Olympic Lifting. Today let's have some fun. Go as heavy as you can while mechanics allow you. You might feel rusty on the first reps. Don't let it get in your head, trust your training. We have been building a very solid base of fitness, don't be surprised if you PR today. Now, the Clean and Jerk is a very technical lift, however it is also very forgiving with sloppy technique. That means it is going to be on you to keep your standards high! Remind yourself, the better your technique is today, the more you will be able to lift tomorrow. And in Olympic Weightlifting, longevity is one precious reward. For athletes who struggle with technique in either the clean or the jerk, consider working on the lifts separately starting with the trickier of the two. Athletes new to the clean and jerk should work on progressions to learn them. Experienced athletes can use progressions as sets to develop technique.
For the second part, pick drills that are at the limit of your capacity: you can control them with good positions, but not for long. The 10 minute window we have today will be appropriate for that training.
LIFT HEAVY, MOVE WELL, HAVE FUN!
Progressions for Clean*
5 sets
5 Cleans in Full Extension
4 Sets
2 Hip Clean + 2 Hang Cleans
3 Sets
2 Segment Clean Deadlifts + 1 Clean
*Video for the Clean in Full Extension in the next post. For all the other drills, look for videos in the Catalyst Athletics Library.
Progressions for Split Jerk*
5 sets
5 Press Behind the Neck in Split Position
4 Sets
2 Jerk Drives + 2 Tall Jerks
3 Sets
2 Pause Jerk + 1 Split Jerk *For all the drills look for videos in the Catalyst Athletic Library.

Globo scale- if you have bumper plates, so this one as RXed and max out. If you only have iron plates, work to heavy singles that you can control on the way down. If you don't have a barbell today then do a heavy dumbbell clean and jerk, to the max heaviest available dumbbells. If you max the dumbbells easily do amrap sets and note reps done in each set.

Champions Club Scaling Notes:
RANT:
It seems to me that, in general, the workouts since the new year have been leaning towards the strength side of things. Static holds, slow lifts, slow movements, strict movements. Kelly Starrett would call them Category 1 movements, which pretty much means your feet and/or hands stay firmly connected to the point of support at all times. What he haven't seen as much of are box jumps, kb swings, jump rope, cleans, and kipping movements. It's been strict movements, then have at it on a run or row (which are actually the highest skill movements in CrossFit, just they're not usually treated that way).
So this is why I think it's important to keep up with all that skill stuff in warmups. Done right, they are bigtime skill-transfer movements for stuff like today. You always need strength as a base to move, and you need skill as a way to carry on that strength. I'm not a big fan of only training one or the other. Traditionally, main site workouts seem to have been leaning a little towards the skill side of things, especially with the explosion of the Games. This recent string is, I think, balancing us out a bit, which is good.
Not sure how relevant any of this is to clean and jerks for a pr, but just thought I'd ramble a bit.
Check the Compare-to for specific scales and such.
