27:54 as rx’d. Way harder/longer than expected. Only about 50 of the ghd situps were 2 hand touch, otherwise alternating hand touches. Ripped a callous during swings round 2 or 3 and getting a grip on my left hand slowed me a tad. Started swings with 12-11-10-9-8, then didn’t do less than 6 at a time after the first round. GHD situps were unusually hard on the quads, maybe from the 300 rep set of squats I did 2 days ago...

Scaled to 35# kb and abmat sit-ups in 40/30/20/10. Didn't time because I was following Lucas (he did his 40 s/u, then I did mine, etc.). Felt great although I was on the verge of a stomach cramp after the first 40 unbroken sit-ups.

In the past three weeks of consistent workouts, I’ve made great strides in my endurance and strength, it’s visible in the mirror, already… and the weight loss (330 to 324) is a great by-product!

Thank you so much for all the work you guys do at CF

For some reason, decided to do keep the KB swings and GHDs, but add in burpees - "Hansen".


As rx'd, 34:10 (PR).


It hurt a lot - but the PR felt pretty nice.

WOD ANALYSIS


Coaching notes


This WOD is designs based on reverse pyramid model and focus on the stamina and challenge the hip power. The resistance of the KB and the variation of sit-ups should be chosen so that the athlete is able to perform them. Furthermore, the 50 reps are high so the beginner athletes can divide it in two parts and perform it with one short break.

 

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


Form: This exercise is a couplet modality that is combined of a core exercise from gymnastic form with a weightlifting movement


Purpose: The training purpose is to improving the stamina. This WOD is fire the core muscles because both movements challenge the hip. The athlete must complete the exercise in the shortest possible time to earn more points so the core muscles are under the greatest challenge.


The reason for choosing reps and movements: The method of selecting movements and reps shows that it seeks to increase the power of the middle part of the body; to have a powerful hip. Along with all the other benefits of this exercise.


Time to perform: This WOD takes about ≈ 15 min. A relatively fast athlete completes this WOD in 12 minutes.


Running a class: Trainers have ≈ 45 min to set other parts of class.


Physiology (GPP): Stamina and cardiorespratory play major role in this exercise. Furthermore, strength, flexibility, balance and coordination are challenged.


Physiology (energy pathway): The aerobic system is a dominant energy pathway in this exercise program.


Anatomy:

GHD sit-ups: Rectus abdominis, Iliacus Psoas, Rectus femoris

KB swings: Trapezius (upper& lower fibers), Anterior deltoid, Gluteus maximus, Quadriceps

▶ INTENDED STIMULUS

Hip extension, hip flexion, open your hips, close your hips, all done at high power output. This workout is a good reminder that the core is not just the abs. It includes all the musculature that keeps the pelvis and the spine aligned. That's what we are working on today. And we are doing it in a way in which each rep needs to be aggressive and explosive. The load on the swings is meant to be heavier than what you typically would do. The total volume of the GHD sit-ups is high. If you are not conditioned for this number of sit-ups, consider mixing them with another variation. If you are modifying the movement or don't have access to a GHD machine or a similar contraption, try to preserve the explosiveness of the movement. Banded AbMat sit-ups are a good option today. This is a 15-18 minute effort. Aim your scaling so that you can get the set of 50 repetitions under the 6-minute mark (a third of the workout), and then your job will try to be keeping the pace or speeding up. This is a good day to let go of the result, focus om breaking everything into manageable sets and tracking your rest. This workout is nice little beast. Have a blast!

I’ve been doing 25 GHDs as part of my warmup for years. And no way can I do even 40 unbroken. But a combo of GHDs and abmats is delicious agony in this WOD.

Yes, lots to be careful of here.


I’ll be doing 5 GHD each round with the remainder as abmat.

Champions Club Scaling Notes:


RANT

Oh wow, this is fun. We have kettlebell swings and something that is pretty much supine kettlebell swings. My hips and midline were absolutely thrilled to have 300 reps of the same freaking movement pattern. And I caught a cramp in my lower abs, Nothing like a reminder of how much stamina you are lacking in something you don't really think requires a lot of stamina. I just don't understand how it is possible to be cocky and do CrossFit.


MAIN DECISION

Do I keep the repetitiveness of L-sits and sub them here or do something else in place of GHD sit-ups?


NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE

As is, regular sit-ups might be fine, but L-sits I think are a better sub in general.


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS

GHD sit-ups - pulling from the hips, core-to-extremity, rigid midline, simulating the Gemini at Cedar Point

Kettlebell swings - jumping, core-to-extremity, external load,


WHAT ABOUT THE REPS

Descending rep scheme like this means we want stamina to be a factor that makes us really want to stop, but not quite make us stop all the way. In other words, ideally you'd be able to do 50 straight through on the first round, but the last few rough. On the next round you would have to break it up if it were 50 again, but the 10 less reps allows for another rough unbroken set. The CrossFit gods are just so kind to us like that.


LEARN TO COOK

Besides the GHD sub, you the thing to consider would be how much do you want to allow yourself to stop due to muscular fatigue. Kb swings I can do all day; sit-ups of any kind I feel like a pansy. So know it's 150 reps of each, and the more reps you do at once shades towards stamina and away from power. Usually, at least. I wonder how 2 rounds of 75 kb swings and 75 GHD sit-ups would be... I should have tried that out.


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

Sub sit-ups for GHDs, then feel guilty about letting boredom get in the way of doing L-sits.

Globo Scale: If you do not have a GHD, sub either 2/1 abmat situps, or 1/1 toes to bar or 1/1 weighted abmat situp 25/40lb db. For kettlebell swings, sub a 50/70lb dumbbell. Scale as needed. Bodyweight sub do equal numbers of supermans to situps, or if you only have a GHD/roman chair do hip extensions with the GHD situps. This may be also necessary in a globo right now due to gym requirements and layout in the globos that are open right now. Be warned, if you haven't done high volume GHD situps lately scale the reps in half or even to 1/3rd of the reps, or if you haven't done any recently sub abmat situps, weighted abmat situps or TTB.
