Just noticed that this tutorial was one year ago! Loved watching the challenging variations especially standing on the box! Just turned 69, just beat the Big C and just about ready to X-Fit AGAIN-"Let's Roll"!

Changed this one to make it more stamina, less cardio due to hazardous smoke conditions in my area:


6 sets of 20 seconds each exercise with 40 seconds between sets, and 1 minute (+40S)

between exercises:

kipping hspu: 6-6-6-6-6-5 (could’ve done 8 the first round but knew it would get tough)

pistols: 6left6right6left6right6left6right

pushups: 17-13-11-10-10-9

pistols: 8-8-8-8-8-10 (alternating legs)


Did this in my living room so it was extra sweaty.

scaled pretty heavily here. My knees don’t like single leg stuff anymore so I’m bagging that more or less forever lol. so I did:


Handstand hold with my feet to a pull up bar so I could practice the free standing aspect.


Glute Ham Raise until my hamstrings were screaming then switched to Hip extensions


Pushups as RX.


Reverse Hypers. Used a little bit too heavy of a weight, I’d tone it down a bit next time.

As rx'd, 362 total reps (PR).  Totals below:


HSPUs:    8-8-8-8-7-7-7-4    (57)

Lunges:    17-17-17-17-17-17-16-16   (134)


Took a more measured approach for both HSPUs and push-ups in early rounds to try to save more reps in later rounds.  Warmed up pistols a little better.  Legs were smoked at the end of lunges!  Could barely stand up.

WOD ANALYSIS


Coaching notes

The Tabata includes 8 cycles of 20 sec work followed by 10 sec of rest. But the question that arises is that, is there a prescribed rest in crossfit? If NO, so why tabata can be a subset of CrossFit? what does the prescribed 10-second rest mean?

In fact, only the 20 sec all-out works in tabata are subset of crossfit. Indeed, each tabata includes 8 separate WOD in AMRAP template. For example, the athletes should perform 20 sec AMRAP of HSPU for first WOD, then rest for 10 sec. They have to do this WOD for 8 cycles.

As a result, each tabata includes 8 CrossFit WODs performed in the form of 20 sec AMRAPs.


Template: This program follows “AMRAP” template, so scoring is based on as many reps as possible during all 20 sec AMRAPs.


Modality: This exercise is a single modality that includes 4 gymnastic movements.


Focus: This WOD is focused on the power. In fact, this exercise is focused to improve the power by increasing the worked reps in 20 sec sections.


Purpose: The training purpose is to improving the lactate tolerance and as a result reduces the drop power. This is the main factor for successful in crossfit, which causes athletes finished WODs with at least drop power.


The reason for choosing tabata template: Tabata interval is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for eight intervals. So this can challenge the lactic acid energy pathway for each 20 sec and overall it can to improving the lactate tolerance. 10 seconds of recovery allows us to perform the movements with all-out effort in 20 seconds.


Running a class: Trainers have ≈ 40 min for set other parts. So he/ she can set the other parts according to purpose of the training and level of physical fitness of athletes.


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


Physiology (energy pathway): The lactic acid system is the dominant energy pathway in each tabata program. After each tabata, the athletes recover during 1 min rests.


Anatomy:

HSPU: Trapezius, Deltoid, Triceps.

Single-leg squat: Gluteus maximus, Quadriceps.

Push-up: Pectoralis major (sternum head), Triceps.

Lunge: Gluteus maximus, Quadriceps.

_______________


Running a 60 min class:

Whiteboard ≈ 3 min

General warm-up ≈ 5 min

Specific warm-up for HSPU ≈5 min

Specific warm-up for squat ≈ 4 min

Specific warm-up for push-up: ≈ 5 min

Globo/home Scale: If necessary, sub a heavyish dumbbell push press or piked HSPU for handstand pushups. For Pistols, if you are not proficient, work on pistol skills before this workout and sub either a weighted step up or a Bulgarian split squat (alternate legs each round of the tabata). If you are still working on pushups and lunges do pushups and lunges in the first tabatas, then do knee pushups and air squats in the second tabatas.

Commented on: Rest and Recovery in Interval-Based Exercise

I think I just wrote a small rant on this, and I also talked to a few of our kids about this earlier this week. I actually have a question - probably for Tyler, but really for whoever:


Does recovery happen in the aerobic pathway?


The reason I'm asking is because, for example, football coaches I've known use the "A Football Play Lasts for 7 Seconds" thing to avoid long-duration workouts like Cindy in favor of either a short, CF Football-style workout or even just heavy lifts. But my thought is that a drive lasts for like 4 or 5 minutes (or in Wisconsin or Iowa's case, like 11-12 minutes, resulting in a nice field goal) and there is a lot of time in there spent in the aerobic pathway.


Actually one more question. Though maybe not really a question, but more of an observation. We did Helen today instead of Super Mutant Helen and I think you have to consider the time between doing the same exercise as a kind of interval. Say the run took 1:30 and the kb swings/pull-ups took 1:30. Well you're kind of doing a 1:1 interval ratio on the run. And for pull-ups, it probably ends up being like a 1:3 ratio - which would kind of put pull-ups into that glycolytic pathway, even though they're part of a larger whole. Does that make any sense?

Hey Chris,

Recovery is multifaceted and occurs at different rates in different system. For example, neurological fatigue and muscle fatigue are very different. You could pull a heavy deadlift every thirty seconds and have almost no worry of running out of energy, but your nervous system would be fried. Muscle recovery is mostly about recycling and replacing various energy substrates. It's kind of helpful to look at energy systems from the perspective of the muscle fiber.


The only source of energy for muscle fiber contractions is ATP and there's always a tiny amount of it just lying around. Compared to rest, ATP production increases about 1000-fold during exercise. During all types of exercise, ATP is resynthesized at a rate to match its use. The level of ATP hardly drops at all, because it really can't. It's the level of the materials used the resynthesize ATP that get depleted, especially glycogen.


Creatine phosphate is more abundant than ATP. It can directly resynthesize ATP and it is itself resynthesized within about 30 seconds, if it has been depleted.


The muscles also have some glycogen and fat stored within the muscles for near-immediate use and larger stores in the liver and adipose tissue for long-term use and replenishment. During prolonged exercise, glycogen drops to about 50% and then stays level. If you begin exercise with depleted glycogen, it will actually stay level the entire time, as your rate of exercise will be limited to the rate of replacement of glycogen in the muscle fibers.


Glucose is both replaced from the blood stream and resynthesized from the lactate it produces. This is quite a bit slower than creatine phosphate (~10 minutes). If the rate of exercise is low enough, lactate doesn't accumulate at all and you can exercise continuously. Above the lactate threshold, lactate accumulates and eventually performance is impaired. Low intensity exercise primarily uses slow-twitch fibers that have tons of mitochondria to help buffer lactate. As intensity increases, fast twitch fibers get recruited which cannot buffer the lactate as effectively. Some of the excess is sent into the bloodstream to the liver.


Much of the resynthesis of these substrates happens locally in the muscle. Replacement happens through the bloodstream, so some light activity during recovery is actually a good thing, since it keeps the blood flowing. And I think you're correct that running is a form of rest for pullups and vice-versa. The resynthesis happening in the arms and legs are totally independent. When your arms are fried from pullups, your legs won't be impaired at all.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS

Handstand push-up - pushing, overhead, major change of orientation, skill probably more than strength

Pistol - squatting, unilateral loading, full ROM

Push-up - pushing, midrange

Jumping lunge - squatting, unilateral loading, less ROM, loss of connection, jumping


WHAT ABOUT THE FORMAT

We want the quality of these Tabata sets to be high - which is kind of different from the intensity. After two rough workout days this is a welcome break. You should not feel completely spent, just mad burning in the arms and legs. So it should mean that you are moving the entire 20 seconds, but not sprinting.


TECHNIQUE SCALE

4 minutes of handstand push-up practice

4 minutes of pistol practice

Tabata plank hold

Tabata lunges


CONSISTENCY SCALE

4 rounds

1 minute of each exercise, no rest in between


INTENSITY SCALE

Instead of doing all 8 intervals of the same thing, do 8 rounds of 1 interval of each - no additional rest in between.


MY STUFF

As ex'd except for pistols - did rolling pistols - and mixed some sets of regular lunges in with jumping lunges. Didn't count.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 4
