The 30lb ball got super sweaty so hand placement was extra critical. Didn’t feel any local fatigue or much of a pump anywhere as my lungs/heart would not let me go fast enough.

70+ mins

30# for medball cleans

20# for push press


Broke up the cleans 3-3-4

Broke up push presses to 10 rep sets

5-10second breaks between sets.


Complete a total of 240 reps out of 300 prescribed.


My quads were floored. I tried to scale down to 14# on medball cleans, did 4 then went down for my 5th and couldn’t come up.


Brilliant WOD.

Rigor Mortis: How Sloppy Science Creates Worthless Cures, Crushes Hope, and Wastes Billions


Rigor Mortis is an in-depth examination of the reproducibility crisis that has been occurring in scientific research for some time, leading to a variety of unintended consequences. The reproducibility crisis or replication crisis refers to the inability for researchers to reproduce various scientific studies among a wide range of disciplines calling into question the validity of the findings. This is exacerbated when these studies are the foundation for further scientific inquiry – a priori – a common occurrence. There are a myriad of reasons for the reproducibility crisis ranging from poor testing methods to overt falsifying of data in hopes of publication but the common theme for these replication shortcomings are the perverse incentives embedded in our academic culture. A lack of funding for medical research and the hypercompetitive nature of the grant application process drives researchers to publish select (cherry-picked) data, cut corners on methodology, inject various forms of bias, utilize inadequate sample sizes and occasionally reward blatant fraud. Estimates on the scope of the crisis vary but various anecdotes seem to hover around 25% (meaning that 75% of the published literature should be re-examined for validity). The solution in Harris’ eyes is to increase the sophistication, budget and oversight of the scientific research community – increase rigor. In the interim, well intentioned practitioners should have a critical eye for any new published data prior to embracing the results.


What really stood out to me was the scope of the problem. The sheer number of invalid studies which are cited countless times even when the results are disproven is remarkable. In an era where intellectual deliberation and primary research is challenging for the average person juggling various personal and professional responsibilities; it is inherent for us as practitioners to dig deeper in search of truth in order to provide the most effective advice and guidance for our members. The CrossFit Community is strong in large part because of the effectiveness of the methods taught – be it movement, diet or otherwise. Instilling trust in the member community will ultimately boil down to confidence and effectiveness; and if CF leadership isn’t clearly articulating WHY certain ideas should be challenged or embraced, we will fall short of making the changes in the lives of those we serve.

Strange - I posted earlier but I don't see my post on the list. So I'm resubmitting. Sorry if I show up twice.


I don't have a 30lbs med ball nor easy access to a 10' target. So instead, I did 1-arm dumbbell squat snatches and 1-arm push presses, exactly half of each set per arm. I switched arms when fatigued but kept a careful count. I used a 26lbs dumbbell.

- Went to the 10’ target on the wall.

- Be sure to catch and drive the med-ball push press with palms - fingertips were just too weak to prevent the ball from rolling off my hands.

- I did not warmup the lower back enough, so I would recommend more posterior warmup for this one. Good luck!

High-rep medicine-ball cleans always seem to pack a punch. Expect a bit of soreness from this one.....especially since we are using a 30lb/20lb ball! Here are some scaling thoughts:


Medicine-ball cleans: Ouch! This will be nasty with a 30lb/20lb ball! Most of my experienced athletes will be able to perform this movement as prescribed but I will still likely have most use a 20lb/14lb ball. For athletes where the volume is too high or if they will not be able to complete the first 50 reps with less than 2 breaks, I will likely scale the load and/or volume per their current capacity. My initial thought with many athletes will be to take out the round of 50 reps and use an appropriate load.


Push Press Wall-ball Shots: I was shocked as to how hard this movement was with the 30lb ball when I tried it out! Be prepared to jump hard to get the ball to a 10ft/9ft target. I will use the same scaling parameters as mentioned in the medicine ball clean section however I will allow for more frequent breaks on the first round and I will also throw in an option of tossing the ball to a lower height.

Hi Crossfit Friends,


I have a question as I have managed to hurt myself. One week ago my muscle attachment to the right biceps went off doing WOD with deadlift🤪

So now I will do an operation next week to fix this with following rehab. But I wonder if you can help me with ideas on wods that will work with one arm less.


Looking forward to your ideas😊

I have similar issue with left elbow injury. Luckily my subs/scales are very similar to when I had dislocated shoulder. I look for single arm scales to everything. As you will find, there is a pretty limited number of choices. For pull ups I do ring rows and try to keep my body position same as would with two arms. For push ups I use the safety catch bars on squat rack raised to appropriate height. Have to spread legs for wide base similar to doing them on ground. If it gets too easy, just lower the bar a notch. Plyo boxes can also be used if strong enough for something that low. Weightlifting is done with dumbbells but, you can learn to snatch with a barbell (and get some funny looks) and deadlift, too, if you can find a good center grip. I mark my barbell with tape so it is easier to find. I suppose the bottom line is that you will be doing less of somethings until you heal but, there are lots of other things to work on. You might want to search the CrossFit Journal for Pat Sherwood, one of CF's flowmasters. He did a series of videos when he injured a shoulder or arm. Hope this all helps.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Again, when I see the word "cleans" here I automatically think full squat. Med-ball cleans are one of those movements that I don't spend much time on - not because it doesn't have technique benefits (it does, obviously) but because they don't come up as often as barbell or dumbbell cleans. When I have someone that is struggling with the timing for cleans, I would rather try and chip away at the technique on dumbbells than use a medicine ball. So here I'd probably default to dumbbells over med-ball cleans. As for the push press wallballs, they should look exactly the same as normal ones, just not as low. Same way a power clean and squat clean are the same.


I SHOULD TRY THIS AS RX'D IF: I have a 30-lb med ball and can go unbroken on 30-20-10 rounds


NEW TO CROSSFIT VERSION: as is, lose the time cap, make sure your butt goes back first and shins stay vertical on the cleans.


GROUP VERSION: dumbbells for med ball clean


INJURY VERSION: themes are - gets easier as the workout goes, odd object, odd movement, squatting, jumping, throwing, squatting again, pushing, Pick two movements from there and go down the ladder


WARMUP

Squat - prep for both

Jump rope - always

Kb swing - timing for the push press

Pull-up - spend some time hanging

Handstand - spend some time upside down

GHD sit-ups - haven't done those in a bit it seems.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 5. Muscle fatigue is a factor here.

INTENDED STIMULUS

.

Nice one! This one will test you. Approach this workout as a chipper. Initially, it does not look like it, but the round of twenty will not feel as short as you would like to. The cleans will get your legs fatigued. When you get to the shots, generating power from the hips and knees will not be as easy. Which means your arms will have to work extra hard. It all adds up to this: legs burn, arms burn, and lungs burn. This is a beastly beast. The scaling today is simple. Choose a ball slightly heavier than you would typically use. Now, if you have never handled a 20lbs or a 30lbs, there is no need to jump to those right away. 10/6 pounds might seem like a small increment, but for those tosses, it will certainly not be. In your warm-ups, make sure to get some reps with 16, 18, or 25lbs. Then decide the weight you will use for this workout. It is also totally cool to adjust the number of reps to preserve that heavier ball stimulus. This is a 15-18 minute workout, aim for that in your scaling. Today check-in inside you and find some grit!


OPTION 1

50-40-30-20-10 reps for time of:

Medicine ball cleans

Push press wall-ball shots

OPTION 2

Medicine ball cleans

Push press wall-ball shots


♀ 14-lb. ball, throw to 9 ft.

♀ 10-lb. ball, throw to 9 ft.

♂ 14-lb. ball, throw to 10 ft.

Globo scale: sub 20/30lb dumbbell squat cleans and explosive push presses if a medicine ball isn't available. If a slam ball is the only thing available do the squat cleans with it, and push press with dumbbells.
