18.09.2019. 20 min AMRAP 5R 30 sdlhp@20kg, 20 alternating jumping lunges, 10 burpees.

Last row was 17:20 but with no rower and a dodgy knee I've been subbing for about 6 months.

19:50 rxd damper 5/6 and stayed at 2m pace until final 750m or so then increased pace from 1:56-1:46 over that final push. Good leg burn by the 3k mark. An excellent challenge to focus on form, relaxation, tempo, and power output all at the same time! PR by 2.3 seconds even though I’m 5 lbs lighter and almost a year older!

70F and sunny, and CF thinks I'm going to sit in the basement on a rower? Trail run, baby!

Through the local park, fairly steep and hilly, with lots of roots, rocks, streams, other obstacles.


MapMyRun GPS report:

7.66km in 50:02 (avg 6:31/km) burning 574cal with 67m elevation gain


First 4000m (roughly analogous to 5000m row) in 24:08 (6:02/km). I really slowed down after that.

Commented on: Ankle Musculature, Part 1

Love the article except one minor detail:


The Soleus is actually a larger muscle and better at producing maximal force than the Gastrocnemius. The Soleus has 3-8x large physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA) as well as shorter fiber lengths than both Gastroc heads. It is well known that a larger PCSA and shorter fiber lengths mean capable at producing larger force, assuming pennation angle of both muscle groups are similar (which they are). [1]


For exercise and function, what we actually care about is torque production, which is Force multiplied by the moment arm. The moment arm for both the Soleus and Gastroc are the same because they both have a common tendon insertion at the Achilles. Therefore, this means the Soleus is better at moving the ankle joint into plantarflexion.


Also consider the Soleus only crosses the ankle joint whereas the Gastroc crosses the knee joint. This means that anytime the knee is in a flexed position, we get less Ankle Plantarflexion force/torque from the Gastroc, but the Soleus is unaffected. Often in functional movements such as running and cutting, we need ankle plantarflexion with the knee in a flexed position meaning the Soleus is mostly responsible for this.

WOD ANALYSIS


Coaching notes:

Template: This high volume WOD follows “For Time” template, so scoring is based on as fast as possible.


Form: This exercise is a single modality in macro view template. This WOD includes of high volume rowing from metabolic conditioning form.


NOTE: The distance of the rowing is long, so recovery has not been a limiting factor.


Purpose: The training purpose is improve the cardiorespiratory endurance.


The reason for choosing distance:  The all-out 5000 m rowing in For Time template is challenge and improves the lactate tolerance threshold. This is the main factor for successful in crossfit, which causes athletes finished WODs with at least drop power.


Time to perform: This High volume WOD takes about ≈ 20 min, so if the athletes perform it longer than ≈ 20 min, trainer can scaled it.


Running a class: Trainers just have  ≈ 40 min for set other parts of class.


Physiology (GPP): Cardiorespiratory endurance plays a major role in this exercise.


Physiology (energy pathway): The aerobic system is dominant energy pathway in this exercise program. Because the duration of this exercise is long and the intensity is moderate that the body uses aerobic pathway most of the training time.


Anatomy:

Agonist: Trapezius (middle fibers), Latissimus dorsi, Biceps, Gluteus maximus, Quadriceps, Soleus

Synergist: Rhomboid, Teres major, Posterior deltoid, Brachialis, Hamstring, Gastrocnemius

_________________________________


Running a 60 min class:

Whiteboard ≈ 3 min

General warm-up ≈ 5 min

Specific warm-up for rowing ≈ 5 min

WOD ≈ 20 min

Cool-down  ≈ 5 min

Additional time: It remains ≈ 22 minutes that can be divided in specific warm-up or cool-down.


Train hard and challenge your body. Enjoy it ;)

GOOD LUCK

I don't have any Rower and I am suffering SHIN SPLINTS for a couple of months. So I couldn't do Running or jumping Rope.


Only Mono-Structural I can do now is Burpees. I haven't done any Tabata interval this week.


So I chose to do "Tabata interval" today.


Tabata Burpees - Score (6 Burpees)

Rest 2 Min

Tabata Jumping Lunges - score (8)

Rest 2 Min

Tabata Deadlift (12 KG backpack) - score (12 Deadlift)

Rest 2 Min

Tabata Burpees - score (6 Burpees)



DAMN...THAT LAST ROUND of TABATA BURPEES FELT REALLY HARD.

Globo/Home scale: If you do not have a rower today, go for a 5k (5000m) run. If you have an assault/echo bike you can bike 300 calories. If you prefer not to run and are at home, if you have dumbbells/kettlebell/barbell, do AMRAP 20 minutes of 10 burpees, 15 Sumo Deadlift High Pull (35/45lb barbell, 1/1.5 pood kb, dumbbells that add up to 40/30lb). Or you can do medball/odd object power cleans (lightish), or lightish slamballs, in place of the SDHP.

▶ INTENDED STIMULUS

.

Consistency and pacing! 5000 meters in the rower is a longer distance, pacing this correctly is fundamental. You can play on how hard you go on the first 250 meters, some athletes benefit from going there pretty hard, most don't. Regardless of this you should spend the vast majority of your row at a pace you can sustain and that allows you to push the end. That consistency will be key. Being a tad conservative here is better, if at 3000 meters you can increase, you will make up any seconds lost. On the other hand, burning out with a 2K in front of you is not pretty. Rowing is technical. That's an advantage not an obstacle. Focus on your movement, focus on your stroke rate. In that focus you will find the state of flow we call "being in the zone". Athletes whose sweet spot pace on the rower is above 2:40 can scale the distance and go for an 20 minute AMRAP at their sweet spot pace. Being consistent and knowing how to pace are great skills to have. To day we hone your focus. Find your flow!


▶ OPTION 1

AMRAP 20 minutes

Row

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


MAIN DECISION

Read the scaling notes from the Compare-to link.


NEW TO CROSSFIT VERSION

Scroll back and pick a different workout, and do some practice on the rower for the warmup


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENT

Rowing - locomotion (imaginary), squatting, pulling (though not quite as much as we may think)


WHAT ABOUT THE REPS

This is classic benchmark for testing, for good rowers it's a mean blend of stamina and endurance


LEARN TO COOK

If I want to do a single-modality testing day, either this or running 5k. I could also spit this up and add rests in between if I wanted to keep the intensity from suffering. If I wanted to mimic some of the positions in a traditional WOD format, I could throw something together with light deadlifts and ring rows - pick numbers that would suck but wouldn't have to be broken up for 20 minutes.


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

It's finally getting warm outside. Run the thing instead of row.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7
