15 minutes:

-9 MUs (leg-assisted)

-27 KBs (53#)


3 rounds + 9 MUs and 12 KBs


MUs were from waste-high rings. Had toes on ground and did leg-assisted MUs. Tried to focus on fast transitions to dips. This is still a good scale for me.


KBs were appropriately tough. Broke into sets of 9.

Commented on: Fat or Fiction: The Diet-Heart Hypothesis

Fat and risk of health issues were the hot topic on the shop last weekend. I was helping my cousin installing the new rack and sliders from 4WheelOnline on his truck when uncle arrive from a medical check up. Those fats really accumulate over tip of a lifetime unless you got a healthy lifestyle and exercise to burn them.

Aaaannnddd here's my first humbling moment. Just when I felt really good after yesterday's OHS WoD, they fire up this thing.


Absolutely crushed me:

3 rounds, started with jumping MUs went even further back to assisted pull ups

Only able to hit 40 lbs on the Dumbbell. I thought my forearms were going to come off.

Commented on: The Muscle-Up

I’ve had much success in training the strict muscle-up over the years. In addition to the pointers discussed in this article, I’ve found that the following greatly helps:

(i) To develop a solid false grip, athletes should scale-up any WODS with pull-ups to false-grip strict ring pull-ups.

(ii) While developing the false-grip, also work on development of a very strict negative muscle-up; by beginning at the top locked out position and dropping into the bottom of the dip, dropping elbows below the rings, and ending up in a false grip. Over time the athlete will develop the ability to reverse course and rotate the elbows back over the rings for a strict muscle-up.

Perfect weather yesterday so I did 8km trail run through the woods/hills/rocks/boulders/tree branches. Way fun conditions. I did this WOD TODAY, Monday, 190909, modified as:


15 min AMRAP

18 chest-to-bar pull-ups

18 ring dips

36 kettlebell swings (American) 1 pood*

Completed 2 rounds + 18 C2B + 12 RD = 102 total reps


Not good. A month ago on Mary, I tweaked my rhomboid; since then I am lacking a lot of strength in the right shoulder, despite feeling no pain or apparent issues. Just not producing the power.


*I don't have a bigger kettlebell. I need to correct that deficiency.

Injuries = suck! They are irritating, frustrating & depressing! Sometimes you’re an idiot & hurt yourself and sometimes it’s random, dumb & unavoidable. Like sleeping weird & waking up in the middle of the night in horrible pain. 😂 But with the needed rest, slow, deliberate, hard work & consistency your body will reward you. Don’t lose ❤️! Do what you can and be patient! Embrace the suck & learn something while you push through!!! Attitude is everything! & it’s a factor YOU CAN CONTROL!

Champions Club Scaling Notes:


RANT:

I will honor the troops by doing Murph every day for a year if Michigan promises to never play Army ever ever again.


I SHOULD TRY THIS AS RX'D IF: I can do sets of 2 for muscle-ups until at least the 10-minute mark


GROUP SCALE: Since it seems stamina is supposed to be a factor, I might string this one out to 20 minutes instead of lowering the reps. Options for subs would be burpees or rope climbs. 18 burpees or 3 rope climbs I would think.


INJURY SCALE:

Upper-body injury - AMRAP in 15 of: run 200m, 20 one-arm kb swing or dumbbell snatch

Middle-body injury - 20 ring rows (strict), 30 dumbbell push press, amrap in 20

Lower-body injury - am rap in 20 of: 15 pull-ups, 20 dumbbell seated press


Warmup

Jump rope - always

Kip - muscle-up prep

Candlestick roll - also muscle-up prep (transition)

Dip - hit that end range of motion

Squat - kb swing prep


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 8. This could be really bad, and your hands will hurt too

INTENDED STIMULUS

.

This workout is a firebreather! High skill, high load, high reps, medium distance. It is a challenging piece. It is very different from yesterday when we were shooting for no breaks. Today we are shooting for a break-up scheme that allows us to minimize the not-moving-time. If you go for sets that are too big in either movement, you will end up having to rest too much before going again. Today is about being smart and disciplined. Let's aim for something around five rounds. If you have muscle-ups and you have capacity then choose a number you can do with at most two short and controlled breaks all the way through. If you are modifying them, aim to preserve the high skill aspect as well as the aerobic component of the high reps. For the KBS choose a load that you can cycle, a weight a little bit heavier than you would typically use, but something that allows you to keep swinging it. Adjust the number of reps if needed so that you can have both a heavier load and a big set. Both movements are technical, and both will reward proper mechanics and efficiency. At the same time, both movements have a flow aspect to them that will allow you to stay present, grinding your reps. Today, be smart with your scaling and diligent with your movement, you will prevail.



OPTION 1

Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:


9 muscle-ups

27 kettlebell swings


Load range: 1.5 pood - 2 pood


OPTION 2

Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:


6 jumping ring muscle-ups

6 rings kip swings

27 kettlebell swings


Load range: 0.75 pood - 1.75 pood


OPTION 3

Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:



6 false grip ring rows

6 jumping dips

27 russian kettlebell swings


Load range: 0.5 pood - 1.0 pood
