Left shoulder was hurting a little after thrusters so I decided to reduce the stress and do strict presses on the final ladder.

M/ 46/ 136 lbs/ 5’-6”

As Rx I used 95 lbs for Thrusters and Push Press.

thruster ladder 11 rounds completed

ring rows 14 rounds completed

push press 12 rounds completed

i did not rest at all between stations/ exercises.

total rounds completed: 37

i always think the first few rounds are to get used to the movement and set a groove.

I had to workout tonight outside as it was so nice out. After dinner I played outside with the kids on the trampoline, then worked out quickly.

for me thrusters are a weakness and I do not train them often enough. By about round 5 I started to feel a decent groove. I didn’t feel anything with The ring rows until about round 8. I elevated my legs onto a chair to really force myself to be straight and stiff and just pull with my back and delts.

i felt last night’s workout (30 minutes of static holds: 10 minutes each of:HSPU, plank and squat)

might take tomorrow off, minus running the dog in the woods early. That’s an everyday thing for her now

M/14/5’10/160


subbed pull ups for thrusters do to hurt back! Also did this after 1 other workout!!


16 minutes + 11= 147 reps for pull ups

16 minutes +14= 150 reps for ring rows parallel to ground

14 minutes= 105 reps for push press at 75 pounds


right now i’m 14, and I currently workout about 3 times in one day!! I do a warmup like Helen, or Fran, or usually this, then I do a static lift such as squat or power clean, then I do a workout like The Don, or The Filthy Fifty, or The Fatal 40, or Fight Gone Bad, but today I maxed out power clean, so I went only the max out and this workout!! I’m 14 and I deadlift 315, power clean 165, snatch 105, bench 165, squat 235, and front squat 165!! right now i’m in preparation for football season!! Just remember you can do anything you put your mind to!!

Thruster: 13 minutes - modified to bar with 40# resistance band, which turns out to be a good bit heavier than 40# fully stretched out lol

Row: Ring Rows for 20 rounds/minutes

Push Press: 16 minutes - modified to bar with 20#-30# band on bar


* Does anyone have a good suggestion for getting a cheap olympic 6'-7' bar? I've thought about the gorilla bar, but it seems sold-out and way overpriced. Also, just thought about getting a stubby on Rogue and scraping together some plates.

Oh man, just doing the thruster ladder alone frightens me! A general recommendation, that I will give today, is to use loads on the thrusters/push presses, and a foot placement/body position on the ring rows, that allows for athletes to be finished in the 10-15 minute timeframe for each movement. This should help athlete's accumulate volume while not getting too out of hand. 


LIMITED EQUIPMENT

For the thrusters and push presses, use any object that allows you to perform the movement. If no object is available substitute a jump squat for the thrusters and a moderately challenging handstand push-up variation for the push presses. For the ring rows, this can easily be modified a to a body row performed from a truck or table top. The “bed sheet” row that the CrossFit Training IG account posted a few weeks back can also be a great substitution.

Is there a weight standard or say a % of max to use for this WOD as I am not sure how much I can do on Thrusters? Also will the Thrusters not burn out your shoulders before push press?

Globo/Home scale: If you don't have rings but have a pullup bar hang a blanket over it to be able to row from it. You can also use railings, a sturdy table, or an empty barbell in a rack for the rows. Otherwise upright rows with your weights will work. If you are using bodyweight movements today sub burpees for the thrusters and either pushups, piked pushups, or kipping HSPU for the push presses.

Is it ok to start heavy and go light a little bit during the later part of the ladder?

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

I prefer doing ring rows from a position of global extension, meaning I am arched quite a bit. The two main things needed for this are 1) butt/belly squeezed really tight to prevent overextension and 2) shoulders pulled back. I like this position because it is a little more transferable, in my opinion, to things like muscle-ups, push-ups, and running, and makes it a little easier to keep the shoulders back.


MAIN DECISION

Do I want to go heavy with less reps or lighter with more reps?


NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE

I kinda want to say as is, just skip the push press ladder at the end. But also thinking of:

5 rounds of:

2:00 thrusters practice

2:00 ring rows practice


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS

Thruster - squatting (added load, upright torso, speed, loss of connection a bit), pushing (overhead, probably open-circuit w/ dumbbells, skill),

Ring row - pulling (midrange, global extension, skill or strict but probably strict most of the time, open-circuit w/ rings)

Push press - pushing (overhead, open-circuit, skill), jumping (added load, upright torso)


WHAT ABOUT THE REPS

The "death by" ladder gives us a slow dose of what stamina feels like and a lot of opportunity to get a feel for when we can work through said stamina discomfort and when we can't.


LEARN TO COOK

Stamina really is the main focus here and if you aren't able to feel 3-4 rounds of pretty serious discomfort here and still be able to work through it - or you need to work on technique without as much structure - think about going through a few rounds of 2-3 minute stations for each exercise.


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

As is


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7

▶ INTENDED STIMULUS

.

Nice! Application day. Whatever you learned in 200430 you get to apply it today. One thing should be clear to your right now. You are working against a workout that is designed to crush you and that it will. It is a lost battle. Which means your mindset is only one: die fighting. When you are performing singles, as you inevitability will end-up doing, keep getting reps. Stay very smart on the minutes where the work starts taking you 25-30 seconds, that's where you have to hang on the longest, and that's when things will get real. Stay smart, break early, and often and earn yourself some rest. This is a stamina workout, a muscle-endurance workout. It is all about preserving that muscle juice for the longest time. Like we said in 200430: the edge of muscular exhaustion is where mechanics break, and compensations start happening. In a workout like this, some level of this is unavoidable. However, you can keep it to the very very minimum. Because the call is for an accumulation of reps, modify the movement so that you can get beyond the 10 minute round on each movement. Beyond that, it will be over soon! EVERY REP COUNTS!


NOTE: Sorry I missed the post yesterday guys! I was playing with my son and time flew by, he is two months now! YAY!
