As rx’d, 23:15.


Another breather. Just kept plugging away at this one – felt a bit like a chipper. A few misses on DUs, but mostly okay. Broke SDHPs 10-10 – but had some mini-pauses in the second set of 10 in several rounds. Unbroken GHDs and kept the rows light (1100 W) until the last round.

Rounds 4 and 5 sure are a mental grind! Be sure to pace yourself in the first couple of rounds here. By round 3 you should have a pretty good feel for your work capacity on this and then turn on the after burners appropriately. Get after it friends!

The SDLHP and GHD sit-up are a sneaky combo and the functions really balance each other out. Overall, I think this workout is well designed to maximize intensity! Here are some scaling thoughts:


Double-unders- I consider volume of the this movement to be moderate and achievable when arranged in this fashion. High-level athletes should not take longer than approximately 30-seconds to complete a set of 50 reps. For athletes that have experience with this movement, but lack consistency, my first option will be to have them complete 45-seconds of double-under attempts each round. My second option, for this athlete, will be to have them complete a mix of single unders and double unders. Potentially completing 10 sets of 4 single unders and 1 double under attempt. For athletes that are new or de-conditioned, I will have them complete 50 single unders each round today.


Sumo Deadlift High-Pull- I consider the load to be very light and the overall volume to be relatively high. I will have athletes use loads where at least the first round can be completed unbroken. I will reduce reps for athletes where the overall volume is too high or for athletes where I may need to reduce speed significantly. I would like to see athletes achieve a range of motion of the barbell reaching near the collar-bone, if needed I will reduce the range of motion.


GHD Sit-ups- I consider the volume of this movement to be high, but more reasonable when arrange in this fashion when compared to 10/6. As per usual, I will take a very cautious approach, as most of my athletes do not have consistent exposure to this exercise. As a general guideline, I will have experienced athletes attempt this movement as prescribed if they have been consistently performing this movement for volumes of over 60 total reps. For experienced athletes that have not had recent exposure to the movement, I will most likely scale to a ½ range of motion GHD sit-up, where they lower their torso parallel to the floor. For athletes that are new or de-conditioned, I will most likely modify the movement to a straight-leg abmat sit-up, where the finish position is achieved when the hands touch the toes. Beyond the movement modifications, most will still need a reduction in reps.


Row: I consider the row calories to be achieved, per round, as providing a stimulus of about 1:30-2:00 of rowing per round. I will consider reducing calories for athletes where the prescribed number will take longer than 2:00 on any round or if an athlete needs a reduction in overall volume.

When Open Season starts its like strategy kicks in. Its funny, by targeting to work on my weakness (snatch) I got a better training and a worse score. Had I broken the snatches in singles and went all out in burpees my bet is my training would not have been the best for me, and yet my score would have been better. I guess besides RX and scaling I will be thinking of Targeting as a way of looking workouts as ways of getting better and not necesarily to get a better score, at least not in the short term. This is just my way of seeing things, not a right or wrong perspective here.


Todays workout I will hit it with the same weakness biased mentality.


In my case SDHP and Row are my sweet spots so those will be my go time positions, DU and ghd come fairly easy so I will try to just keep moving there.


I think I can aspire to do the 5 rounds on the 4 min. And doing this could give everyone a good intensity dose given the proper scaling. Juan Acevedo share some good examples alredy so im not gonna dig into that.


I will share my attack plan for the day


Warm up 2 rounds

35 singles into 20 du into 7 triples

10 arm circles, 5 front 5 back

10 sec handstand hold

10 dynamic pidgeon

10 wall squat therapy


metcon prep


Sdhp progression and 2 sets of 5, first barbell, then working weight focusing on synching breathing and good form


1 round of the workout for time. Rest the exact same time.


Go.

following my plan fell a little behind and got a beautiful 22 min burner. 3 rounds sdhp unbroken, 4th round was a 12 and singles and lst one was 9 and singles without letting go of the bar. Dont know why but sdhp done like this makes me feel an original crossfit something . Loved and puked this one. Nothing in stomach though

Disappointed. Had a big meltdown on Rd.4 when the handle came off my jumprope on DU # 37 (!!!). Backup rope was slightly longer, and I tripped over that extra inch the rest of the way. Still, I was pretty shocked to see the crappy time. When this WOD posted, I thought I would be under 26.

I’ve hadn’t struggled at double unders that much since years! 50 DU took me around 75sec. per round, incredible! Everything else was ok at best, I wasn’t warming up correctly for this one so it’s my fault. Besides that -> what a great workout on paper! Love that programming! Lifelong CrossFit!

Nice! Here we go.


Champions Club Scaling Notes:


RANT:

I'm going to call this Just A Workout but a little note on the sdhp. As the article posted says, this is a really good exercise to practice the concept of core-to-extremity. That means our hips do as much of the work as possible before our arms (or legs, in the case of kicking). I also think this is one of the more complex ways to practice core to extremity stuff. Kipping pull-ups and kettlebell swings are two of the more simple ones and if you are looking for a sdhp sub that keeps the core to extremity timing theme, then a kb swing would be a good call. I might take this opportunity to practice deadlifts instead of sdhp for the people I don't think are going to get it on this day. Chip away at that flat-back habit.


GROUP VERSION:

Jump ropes are always trick in a group because space can get a little crammed. I might make this a team workout. AMRAP in 21 minutes of: jump rope (first 7 minutes), sdhp variation (second 7 minutes), GHD sit-up (or strict knees to elbows) last 7 minutes. While one person works on the exercise the other rows 20 calories (or runs a 400).


INJURY VERSION:

Jumping, jumping again, rigid midline, hips getting fried, locomotion, a pull that's not really a pull, and same thing again. This is a tricky one to modify as listed, so I'd just try 4 exercises you can do, pick some reps that you'd have to break up about halfway through, and go for 25 minutes


WARMUP:

Box jump

Hollow rock

Kb swing

Jump rope

[insert thing you suck at]

Globo scale: sub 35/25lb dumbbells sdhp for barbell sdhp. A 2/1.5 pood kettlebell can also be subbed. For double unders, 50 tuck jumps, 20 bench jump overs or 50 laterall jumps over the barbell or dumbbells can be subbed. If you are without weights sub 30 supermans. For the GHD situps, sub eitjer weighted situps, decline situps, or V-ups. If the rower requires transition or there is no rower available today sub 25 burpees , 17 calorie assault bike, or 200m run per round.

INTENDED STIMULUS

.

This is a fun, longer beastly grind. The movements are all complementary and will hit your system in all different aspects. The high-pulls and the row mechanics are very similar. The difference in your body's position with respect to the ground means that the whole back of it will end up working hard. The sit-ups and the double-unders are front-of-the-body dominant. Both have a ballistic aspect to it, both will require your core to work hard. During the jumps, the the core's task is to keep a relaxed tension on your torso so that there is good balance and rhythm. For the sit-ups, the mission is to flex your body at the hip joint violently. Just like with the other two movements, these two tasks complement each other and will make this a very global core workout too. Finally, take into consideration that the row and the jumping are on the aerobic side of life, and the sumos and the GHD are on the anaerobic side of life. Both energy systems will hurt. Yes! This is a beast! But a fun one. There is enough variety to be able to keep moving, and the reps are such that nothing gets too long. It should not. Choose a load in the barbells that allows you to "row" through these sets. Pick a number of double-unders you can definitely do unbroken, maybe that's not what happens, but you could do them unbroken. If scaling to single-unders, apply the same logic and pick something you can do in around 45-60 seconds. For the rower, choose a number of calories you can comfortably complete under 1:00 for the first two rounds. After that, you should be able to complete them within that same window but maybe not so comfortably. For the GHD, choose a number you can also do within a minute, with at most one break per set. If not proficient with the GHD machine, don't underestimate the power of the AbMat sit-up. Aim your scaling so that you can complete each round in around five minutes. Keep the number of reps very similar. Today's strategy is simple: start easy, keep the pace, and finish strong!

Would you say a straight legged abmat sit up is the better sub for GHD? (Versus knees out)

Juan Acevedo
October 14th, 2019 at 6:13 pm

Oof that is a hard question. Well in the GHD you can, and must actually use a violent knee extension, not just abs and hips flexion. I think the straight legs might give you a little more of that, but because of the decreased range of motion, it will just lower the recruitment of the abs... This is a good question. Let me think about it a little longer.
