15:20 with 50lb. Dumbbells. Went bad quick after the first 9 thrusters. Broke the first round of thrusters 9-7-5, and the remaining into 7-5-5-4, the first two rounds of pullups 7-5-5-4, and the last round of pullups 4-5-5-7


humbling and hard as hell

Globo scale: Intermediates scale Fran Rxed weights but keep the reps the same. Scaled scale reps down, doing either "Fran" or scaling from there. Home gym with limited equipment do dumbbell thrusters 35/50lbs and strict pullups.

Nicely done on the workout! I love that this sport is for EVERYONE!


But the mask...I love Crossfit and want it to work with Eric at the helm but Crossfit is about health, you have to be 100% on point, and right now it is important for everyone's health to wear a mask when appropriate (when inside shared space or when others are around).

Any concerns about the long term weakening of the immune system from wearing a mask?

Keith Diehl
September 22nd, 2020 at 7:31 pm

@Bob...no. It is not something I've heard of and expect that it could only be be an outcome of extremely long duration mask wearing. Do you think immune system weakening was Eric's concern and the reason he started wearing the mask incorrectly and then removed it at the end?

As rx’d, 12:35.


Tough.  115 started out feeling not that much different than 95, but I felt all of that extra weight by the end.  Broke thrusters 12-9 in round 1 and then 7-7-7.  Did C2B pull-ups in sets of 3 until last round, where I had to start doing singles after 6.  Did this on the outside pull-up bar.  Tradeoffs – higher bar allows for a full kip, but it was definitely wet on this rainy day.

Watching the chick last week go unbroken inspired me to at least try all Thrusters unbroken today, where I usually break up each set. Wound up doing 21-(10)(5) - (6)(3). Just doing the first unbroken saved a lot of time.


Pullups were (7 x 3) - (5 x 3) - (5, 2, 2)

Eric, I love this for so many reasons:

-Making the games WODs inclusive so that anyone can do them...I could see boxes programming these Games wods in their gyms for fun (similar to what many do for the Open)

-Seeing you scale the workout, since this helps with the stigma associated with scaling

-Having you lead by example overall!

Thank you! It's great to see you shaking things up already!

Warm up: 2 rounds 800m run, 25 GHD sit-ups. Then 30 1-pood Russian Kettlebell swings.

Friendly Fran: 3 rounds of 21 reps thrusters and C2B pull-ups, scaled to 75# thrusters and kipping pull-ups. Finished in 17:53.

I could tell 7 reps in that I didn’t have it in me today and contemplated quitting. Decided to stick with it and make it a “grit” workout.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS

Thruster - squatting, upright torso, pushing, jumping, lots of range of motion, just a pinch above moderate weight

Chest-to-bar pull-up - pulling, skill (kipping), overhead, extra range of motion (shoulder extension)


WHAT ABOUT THE FORMAT

The video says it all. Basically it will be good to make a choice whether you want to do this thing as a test or a training tool.


TECHNIQUE SCALE

Sub kips/half ROM kipping pull-ups for chest-to-bars, cut the weight way down on thrusters, and make it 5 rounds


CONSISTENCY SCALE

As listed, just more rounds and less reps per round if needed


INTENSITY SCALE

Fran


MY STUFF

11:42. Movements and weight as rx'd, but I scaled to 10 rounds of 6 and 6, then my last round of 3 and 3. Haven't done cheat-to-bar butterflies in a loooong time and it showed. I usually went 4-2 for each round. I used the first two rounds as a warmup, but the workout was still no fun.
