20 mins AMRAP sub of HS holds/break 45/15 x3, clean 9kg med ball x20, burpees x10. Managed 3R but steadily scaled HS holds into pike holds R2 then planks R3.


Prev. 13:30 3R of 3 sets of 45/15 HS wall hold/rest, 10 burpees in 1:30. Had to incorporate planks in second and third sets of R2&3 and added thirty seconds of plank to R3 burpees.

18:34 with :55/:45/:35 each round. At least a minute of rest before each. Back to wall. Feet touching only. PR. Same scaling as last time. But about 40 seconds faster. 10 fewer burpees I think!

I don’t remember burpees being that hard last time but today my arms just wouldn’t go!

Commented on: The Scientific Method, Part 2

I enjoyed this elaboration, and I agreed with it, but I'd be interested in the authors' views on Fayerabend's Against Method which argues that great science and great scientists can sometimes ignore formal method. In particular, they can ignore apparent falsification. So Copernicus's theories of heliocentricity, for example, were apparently disproved by contemporary observations (of course we now know the planets move in elipseses) yet neither Copernicus nor his followers were disheartened. What does this mean?

Hi Terence,

I can’t speak on behalf of the author, but CrossFit has previously linked to a book by David Stove here: www.crossfithealth.com/2018/04/06/popper-and-after-by-david-stove/


Stove is a philosopher of science who dismissed Popper, Kuhn, Lakatos and Feyerabend as “irrationalists”. This was a surprise to me, given the reputations of Popper and Kuhn. Stove points out that these irrationalists would be reluctant to admit there has been an accumulation of knowledge in the last four hundred years. His dissection of their methods to neutralize the success of science is impressive.


Here's a passage on Feyerabend by David Stove from “Popper and After” ch. 1:


“Before coming to cases it will be worthwhile to notice a passage in which the truth of this suggestion of mine is indirectly admitted at once, by one of our authors himself. This is a remarkable paragraph, occurring early in Against Method, in which Feyerabend, who is of course more openly irrationalist than our other authors, tells us that (to put it in my language), whenever he applies success-words to science in that book, they are never to be taken in their ordinary sense, but are intended to be always understood as neutralized.


The context is this: Feyerabend has just been expounding his `anarchist' maxim that anything goes: by which he means that any principle of theory-preference (induction, counter-induction, Tarot-card, or whatever) may on a given occasion advance science more than any other would. Then he adds the following:


"Incidentally, it should be pointed out that my frequent use of such words as `progress', `advance', `improvement' etc., does not mean that I claim to possess special knowledge about what is good and what is bad in the sciences and that I want to impose this knowledge upon my readers. Everyone can read the terms in his own way and in accordance with the tradition to which he belongs. Thus for an empiricist, `progress' will mean transition to a theory that provides direct empirical tests for most of its basic assumptions. Some people believe the quantum theory to be a theory of this kind. For others, `progress' may mean unification and harmony, perhaps even at the expense of empirical adequacy. This is how Einstein viewed the general theory of relativity. And my thesis is that anarchism helps to achieve progress in any one of the senses one cares to choose. Even a law-and-order science will succeed only if anarchistic moves are occasionally allowed to take place" [15].


It is surely obvious that this addendum to the anarchist methodology is not (what it seems meant to be) an addition which makes the anarchist methodology still more permissive. It just makes it totally pointless. We should perhaps think well of a man's heart, if he gives a million-dollar prize for an advance towards a cure for cancer, and says that anything goes as to what means (scientific, magical, or any other) are taken to that end. But if he adds that, `incidentally', anything goes, too, as to what counts as an advance towards a cure for cancer---that "everyone can read these terms in his own way"---then it will be impossible to think well of his head. It is not as though the second piece of permissiveness is an extension of the first: it simply takes all point out of it.”

I did day 2&3 of this cycle & then, came back to do this one. Slightly out of order due to hectic schedule. 3 sets 15 burpees 5 sets 25 burpees 5 sets 25 burpees (35 minutes total.) Went very slow! Thought I could do them all in 3 sets. 😂 It didn’t work out well! My shoulders are fatigue from the prev. WODs. Then, did 3 sets of 1 min hang unbroken. 10 sec hang, 10 sec L-leg raises, 10 sec hang, 10 sec L kicks, 10 sec hang, 10 sec L hold. Then ran a slow easy mile to flush out my legs from those DU. 😝

As rx'd, 17:54.


First round did 2 min and then 1 min.  In later rounds, I did three 1 min sets.  1 min hurt pretty good, but seemed sustainable.  Burpees hurt so bad following

the HS holds – they were slow.  Shoulders, elbows, and wrists just in pain.  Forearms probably sore tomorrow.

Did this with 2 other guys. I didn’t have to do one burpee. They on the other hand had 30+ every round so I rested while they did their burpees. (We allowed 5mins) I did all three handstands against the wall (Rx)

This workout is obviously very demanding on the shoulders as well as skill. I’m not too concerned about the time today, although I would like to see athletes be done in under 20-25 minutes or so. Here are some thoughts:


Handstand Hold: 9 minutes of handstand holds is a lot! For today, I will assume the prescribed variation to be a freestanding hold and I know that most of my athletes will need to modify. When scaling, I will look to utilize a handstand variation that allows for consistent 15-20+ second efforts. The main variations I will use are: 

  1. Handstand hold, back to wall.
  2. Handstand hold, facing wall.
  3. Partial handstand hold, facing wall.
  4. Piked handstand hold from the box. 
  5. Overhead plate hold. This variation will be used only in the case that someone cannot get inverted. 


Along with the above movement variations I will likely decrease the time to accumulate per round for many athletes. I think a decent guideline will be to spend no more than 6 minutes per round accumulating time in the handstand hold. 


Burpees: I think the overall volume will be relatively high for most people, unless you are a ninja at handstand holds. I consider the burpee to essentially be going from a lying position to a standing position. Athletes can perform any variation of that function relative to their current ability level. I will scale reps based upon an individuals current capacity. This will be by having them perform 5 burpees per every 2 sets of handstand holds or by simply giving them a set number of burpees to complete after each round based on their current capacity.

For what purpose do you want to be "affiliated"? You don't need to be part of an affiliate to enter scores on this website. If you're asking about the CrossFit Open, there are official rules for submitting scores for that competition (namely submitting a video that fits the submission requirements). Hope that helps!

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about.


PURPOSE

Give some incentive to hold handstands for as long as possible - meaning exaggerating the stamina piece


NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE

AMRAP in 15 minutes of:

8 burpees

:20-:30 handstand hold


TRAINING SCALE

"For time"


PRACTICE SCALE

Ditch the timer and jump as high as possible on burpees, keep feet together


INJURY SCALE

Pick one static hold and one "penalty"movement that won't tax the static hold too much (a little, though). Increase time/penalty if needed.


GROUP SCALE

Team workout, AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

Burpees (jump as high as possible)

*split in teams of two, one partner can only do burpees while the other is holding a handstand


WARMUP

Jump rope

Kip

Hollow hold

[insert thing you suck at]

[insert thing you suck at]



GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 3
