17:26. Started at 30 secs with 1st round 10 secs L/20 tuck, 2nd round 5secs L/25 tuck, but continued each round thereafter 20 secs tuck. Jumping to 29". I even through a few K2E as a penalty after rounds 3&4 but realised it was too much.

L sit not rxd: 36:56

I began a round every 4m:

L-sit on parallelettes:

:30-:30-:25-:25(this one sagged by the end)

Then I moved to the floor to preserve form:

:14-:15-:14-:15-:15-:14

Jumps became very hard at the end but I was still completing the final rounds under a minute, so about 4 seconds per jump.

tough grinding WOD. Good one.

I stacked 2 bumper plates on top of the 30” box and I used my rings for L sit. I watched the clock and went :30 each set then walked to my box and banged them out slow and steady. I only messed up on my next to last jump as I didn't stand up fully. So I no repped myself and did another two.

good workout.

I am coming back to CrossFit since I have no other opportunity to exercise... I tried to come back about 8 months ago to a box, but I had some weird injuries. In going to PT, I learned that there are certain things I shouldn't do anymore, due to problems with my connective tissue. Regardless, I am going try modifying since I am forced to exercise at home (well, not even at home, traveling on business). I hope doing this and posting my mods helps me to overcome my embarrassment on needing to modify exercises that I previously loved to do. Box jumps is one of those exercises.... Today, I did:


10 rounds for time of:

30 seconds of L-sit - using three chairs, one on each side to suspend myself and (after the first round), one to rest my "L" extended toes on for support

10 box jumps - 18" chair step ups

This is great. Zinc seems to have a heightened role in the specificity of processing nucleic acids (manufacturing DNA/RNA) and theory is that Zinc supplementation can help fight off viruses by improving the body's own specificity and picking up on abnormal DNA/RNA production. Any thoughts on this from a basic scientist? I am a practicing ER doctor, with a ton of virus treating experience though minimal basic science research/lab experience.

A great, simple, clear explanation of virus structure that just about anyone can easily understand. Helpful to know in this current covid situation and will illuminate discussion of what's going on in potential therapies. Of particular note is that in the course of viral attack, if you can prevent or slow steps 1 and 2 you can make headway against the virus. In that light, we read a really interesting article today that helps to explain why the metabolically fragile (meaning the 2/3 of Americans with pre-diabetes or frank diabetes and obesity) might be at greater risk. In the attachment step, ambient tissue glucose levels may play a role -- higher glucose favors easier attachment of the virus to a target host cell. And another article suggests that a mechanism for the anecdotal positive reports with the hydroxychloroquine/zithromax/zinc regimen may involve that same step -- interfering with attachment of the virus. Time and testing will tell.

The goal of this workout is not primarily to be a gut-busting fast-paced workout. Rather expect the need to rest a bit before attempting your L-sits and strive for consistent focused efforts on the box jumps. Here are some some thoughts:


L-sits: The main variations will be a tuck L-sit, an L-sit with one leg extended, and an L-sit as prescribed with straight legs. Consider utilizing a variation that you can hold for at least 15-20 seconds on every round. If 15-20 seconds cannot be achieved with mentioned variations, this movement can be made easier by performing it from the hang position or by performing the movement from a seated position. 


36” Box Jump: The number that should jump out to you is the height. This prescription likely means that the goal is not necessarily to have an extremely fast paced effort here. Rather, the goal is to have consistent focused efforts with a short reset between reps. Reduce the height to achieve the goal. The overall volume at this height is also high. Consider reducing reps per an individuals current capacity. Of special note is that I do NOT recommend rebounding jumps at this height. 


Minimal Equipment: This workout is relatively easy to replicate at home. The L-sit is easy….perform the movement between chairs, stacked up books, etc. The box jump can be replicated by completing any explosive jumping movement. I’ll recommend trying to preserve the effort of the jumps instead of jumping to a low height and moving quickly. For example, consider measuring your max height broad jump or vertical jump prior to the workout. Take 75-80% of the distance/height and use that for the workout. Sample workout could be:


10 Rounds for time:

30 seconds of an L-sit, unbroken

10 Broad jumps @ 75% of max distance

Hi Raul,

Thanks for your question. CrossFit’s seminar model is predicated on gathering people together to provide movement and coaching instruction, as well as education on salient truths about health and fitness. Additionally, for anyone seeking to become a CrossFit Trainer or Affiliate, we place a premium on the in-person experience. This is why, at this time, the online version of the CrossFit Level 1 Course is only open to those who have already attended the course and need to revalidate their credential or attain CEU's (i.e. CF-L1’s or higher).

Very nice, basic article. Except the last part where the suggestion of targeting the spike protein as a possible solution. I don’t believe many people recommend this as in the past this has only made the disease worse. The current hope is to create a live attenuated vaccine. All other treatments for SARS-CoV I have proven ineffective except for some limited success in anti-viral medications. The spike protein has been found to bind to the ACE-2 cellular protein. Currently L-Arginine 700mg, Beet root extract, Black pepper, 5-10mg melatonin/daily and Vitamin C 1,000mg/ twice daily are shown to help prevent the severity of the disease (and yes I’ve read your articles that show your disdain for “vitamins” for the average healthy person).

IBU is shown to worsen the symptoms along with ACE inhibitors, ARB (ie...lisinopril amd losartan) , vitamin D and selenium (consult your doctor but most need to stop these if sick). 

As our knowledge of this disease changes daily it’s wonderful to see Crossfitters exchanging their knowledge. Thank you for your articles!!!

Agreed, the ACE-2 receptor of the host cell is key, and a treatment to protect the ACE-2 receptor is likely to be more broad-spectrum--working on all potential invaders--not just a specific strain of coronavirus. Flavonoids have been highly ranked by SUMMIT, the IBM's supercomputer, as having a molecular composition and shape well suited to bind to ACE-2 receptors and therefore block coronavirus S-protein spikes.

Way to innovate CrossFit Training! This is a great option during the "these times." Long time CrossFit coaches have talked a lot about how the past 3 weeks has brought us back to the days of the garage gym... homemade/improvised equipment, looking for the best place outside of the house for wall ball shots, seeking out the flattest part of the patio to set up the squat stands. The online Level 1 offering is along those lines- when back in the day we spent so much time scouring the internet for any videos or advice in preparation for tomorrow's WOD! Forced change brings creativity and innovation.

Globo/Home scale: L sits can be done on a variety of appratuses, including rings (hanging or in a dip position) dip bars, a pullup bar, on arms of a chair, on 2 benches or boxes, parallets, or 2 dumbbells. If these are not available hold in a hollow hold for 1 minute then proceed to the next movement. For the box jumps, if you don't have a box or object to jump to that is high enough, do object jump overs, difficult broad jumps, or jump touch an object 1-2 feet above your reach for the prescribed reps.

▶ INTENDED STIMULUS

Awesome! Every day is a good day to be thoughtful and intentional, but today that's especially true. This workout has three aspects that define it: unbrokenness, tall box jumps, and "for time." Preserving all these three aspects will be challenging today if you don't scale right from the beginning. Holding a 30-second L-sit with proper mechanics for ten rounds is challenging. Unless you have a 2-minute L-sit hold, chances are you won't. Be realistic with yourself, and instead of compromising mechanics or unbrokenness, scale the time from the beginning. This applies to whatever variation of the L-sit you are doing. Tuck hold, tapping tuck hold, toenail tuck hold are all excellent ideas. For the box jumps, you want a height that feels tall to you—something you would not typically do in a fast workout. Now, as we said, this is for time. It is by no means a quick workout. It is a longer medium-effort (~15 minutes). However, we still want to keep moving with a short break before the L-sits. If you have to rest two minutes before your next L-sit in order to get in unbroken, the time for that L-sit is too long. Scale back. You can have all the three aspects of this workout. Don't compromise!

My adaptive crew always loves the core work - this is going to be a big hit on Monday. :)


Our neuro / seated adaptive version:


10 rounds:

:30 tuck hold / overhead hold

10 tall step-ups / ball to high platform


I have one athlete with neuro adaptive needs who MIGHT do some low box jumps or gentle broad jumps instead of step-ups if she pops on to the telesession. A couple others will likely scale to the high knee march - just looking to get that single leg work in for them at a more challenging height than usual while keeping in mind the safety concerns around compromised balance.


For the tuck holds, they'll be on their backs or reclined in power chairs. One of my resident athletes will be able to do them on parallettes with the toenail hold - he loves any opportunity to work on those, so it's going to be a fun day!

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

This one will give you a good feeling of pulling with the lower body. We can visualize upper-body pulling easily, but today when the knees are barely coming up on the box jumps you'll understand better.


NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE

As is, don't necessarily worry about unbroken L-sit


MAIN DECISION

For quality or for time?


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS

Static hold - pulling from the hips/midline, transition position, stamina and accuracy

Jumping - higher than usual, should be fatigued going into each set


WHAT ABOUT THE REP SCHEME

lots of reps and rounds means we need some stamina with each


LEARNING HOW TO COOK

If you want to get more of a breather, add reps to the box jump and lower the height to cycle through faster. If you want today to be more strength-oriented, then make the box even higher and make the L-sit the most difficult variation you can do for 20 seconds.


I DON'T WANT TO COOK, JUST GIVE ME FOOD

The workout listed is a pretty good middle ground. I'd go with that and be okay with not as much intensity


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 4

I've made these twice--every time I've moved, they've gotten broken somehow.....In my third house, time to make them again, 'cause I ain't movin' anytime soon. Thanks HQ
