26:57 stepped up Acevedo's Option 2:

11.10.9...3.2.1

Pike Presses

Pike Push-ups

L sit pull ups

I knew the hspu would be too much and cause a lot of rest time but also knew I could do the L sit pull ups. Aimed for AMRAP in 20 mins of the above version but only had 5.4.3.2.1 to go at the 20 mark so finished off.

Commented on: Is the Keto Diet Healthy? A Cancer Doctor Explains Why He's Been on Keto for 6 Years

[Hwu notes] that keto makes sense because his patients are not hungry on it, it manages their weight and blood sugar levels and keeps insulin and IGF-1 levels low — two proteins that have been shown to drive some cancers. ‘I feel that fat intake has been overly emphasized as a negative factor and that a high intake of carbs and the subsequent spikes in insulin and IGF-1 (an insulin-like hormone in the blood) that they cause are more harmful to health overall.’”


How refreshing is it to hear a doctor sound so matter of fact, confident, and not fearful or back talking his own positive clinical experience!

All those strict pull-ups this year are paying off.  I’ve done over 1,200 pull-ups so far this year.  Yikes.

This time did bigger chunks of HSPU (15-6 / 12-6 / unbroken). L pull-ups did 10 and then tried for sets of 5 and 6, then sets of 3 and 4 in later rounds.

22:02 rxd. Failed the last pull-up and had to redo. Kipping hspu started in sets of 4 then did some 5’s and 6’s in later rounds. L pull-ups in 3 sets each round. Took me about a minute longer than last time but I did 33% more work today- only 63 total reps of each last time.

This is a gymnastics stamina and muscular endurance workout. The focus is not on gut busting intensity, rather expect the pace to be slow and rest breaks to be frequent. With that being said, I don’t want this workout going much longer than the 20-25 minutes range. Most will need to reduce reps or modify the movement to achieve this goal. Here are some scaling thoughts:


Handstand Push-ups: The volume of reps is high. I will have athletes use a variation of handstand push-ups that does NOT allow them to complete every set unbroken, but also does not force the athlete to break-up any set more than 3 times. This gives me a wide variety of options. For advanced athletes this may mean that they perform strict handstand push-ups. For intermediate level athletes I can have them attempt the workout with a controlled kipping variation. For those that cannot perform handstand push-ups, I will have them perform a pike handstand push-up variation on the box. This can be a great option as athletes can modify their body position to increase or decrease the difficulty. For example, performing this variation with the legs straight and hips stacked over the hands in the starting position can be very difficult while performing this variation with the knees on the box would be less challenging. I will modify athletes to a pike push-up with feet on the floor if needed. If an athlete absolutely cannot get inverted in any fashion a strict dumbbell shoulder press will be my go to for the day. Beyond the movement modifications, I will reduce reps as needed. 


L-pull-ups: The volume of reps accumulated is high. Many of my athletes will need to modify this movement in order to maintain consistency and range of motion. As a general guideline, if I have an athlete that does not have the capacity to complete 10+ reps consecutively, I will most likely reduce the reps. Beyond reducing the reps, I may have these athletes modify the movement to a tuck L pull-up or an L pull-up with one leg tucked and the other extended. For athletes that cannot perform an L pull-up, they will modify the movement to either a band-assisted L pull-up or a combination of band-assisted strict pull-ups with a 20-30 second L-hang variation after completion of the set. Further scaling may involve performing a combination of ring rows and seated L-sits. Again, significant rep reductions will likely be a factor regardless of the variation being utilized.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

This is another one of those where you need to take an honest assessment of where your abilities are. It's not so much about how many you can do in a row, but how well you can recover. But as a general idea, if you don't have the capacity to do the first round unbroken then you need to think hard about scaling this thing.


PURPOSE

Blur the line between strength and stamina.


NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE

Scroll back a few workouts and do one of those. Maybe the deadlift/burpee box jump one. Practice these two movements as a warmup or a cool down.


TRAINING SCALE

As is, scale the movements so you can do strict handstand push-ups and keep the pace where you'd be breathing heavy afterwards.


PRACTICE SCALE

Lose the timer, kip the hspu but keep the descent slow, don't let the legs sag on the pull-ups.


GROUP SCALE

Team workout style. 200m run wile the partner practices handstand push-ups or L-pull-ups. AMRAP in 20,


INJURY SCALE

Pick two movements that tax similar body parts and do an AMRAP in 20 minutes. Keep reps at something over 20.


WARMUP

This is one of those workouts that would allow you to fill the warmup with skills you aren't good at. Pick 5 or so and go through them until you feel warm.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 4

INTENDED STIMULUS

.

Uff! High skill, high volume, and lots of shoulders. This is a harder stamina workout that will demand a lot of your upper body muscular capacity. It will also demand a lot of your trunk muscles. We want to practice pulling and pushing with arms and shoulders in a similar shape. We also want this pulling and pushing done with a very hollow body. When doing handstand push-ups against the wall, and especially when kipping, it is easy to let go of the trunk. It makes the pressing part of the movement easier ... initially. Over time it also makes the movement less productive, keeping you stagnated. Today focus on having that beautiful hollow body on the handstand push-ups. Because of the L-sit position of the pull-ups, this will get harder and harder. It does not matter, put your big kid pants and fight. In CrossFit we love mastering the basics because we know that it will guarantee long term sustained success. That's exactly what we are doing today. Focus on those awesome shapes. This is a longer workout that you should aim to do under the 18-minute mark. Let the HSPU part decide your rep scheme. Pick a number for the longer set that you could do unbroken when fresh if you were going to go for it. If you are modifying the movements, make sure you practice both the pulling and pressing stamina, as well as the inverted hollow position of the handstand and the L-sit/tuck hang position. The options below can give you some ideas. FIGHT!



▶ OPTION 1

18-15-12-9-6-3 reps of:

Handstand push-ups

L pull-ups


▶ OPTION 2

11-9-7-5-3-1 reps of:

Pike Presses

Pike Push-ups

Strict chin-ups (assist with box if needed)

Hanging L-sit/ tuck hold (1 second = 1 rep)


▶ OPTION 3

9-7-5-3-1 reps of:

Plank to pike walk

Seated Dumbbell Press

Strict chin-ups (assist with box if needed)

Hanging tuck hold (1 second = 1 rep)
