Great workout. Did this with two buddies that dont train crossfit, except when they come hang out at my garage gym. I did this with 40kg, which is some 10kg belw 2/3 my bw of 75kg. We also did not rest 30 sec. But kept moving at a regular pace as in , i work, then you work. We were 3, so rest was way past 30 sec. But it was a fun and devastating one. Kudos to all that finished this.monster training alone.


My reps were 242. 40kg and strict pullups. 42 press, 38 pullups, 55 push press, 27 pullups, 49 jerks (feeling dizzy here), 31 pullups.


Looking forward to repating this one in a very very long time.

Completed 5/8.


102 reps. RXd weight was 122, used 125lbs.


The shoulder fatigue was worse than the pull-ups, but both numbers got little towards the last set of each movement.

Nice WOD. I really liked this pattern.

25 kg is probably around 35% BW. It was all I had, but wouldn't be able to do a decent number of reps with more weight than this, anyway.

5 km easy run in the early morning.

Hi Luca!


you can easily change the shoulder presses into handstand push ups, pike push ups with your feet on a chair, or regular push ups.


for the pull ups, you can do table rows (prop your feet on a chair and pull your body to the table) or do back pack rows (fill a backpack with heavy items and perform rows).

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about.


WORKOUT THEMES

Strength in pulling and skill in pushing, using stamina as a factor in challenging it.


MAIN DECISION

Should I simplify the rep scheme?


TECHNIQUE SCALE

Practice push press and kipping for 20 minutes


CONSISTENCY SCALE

AMRAP in 15 minutes of:

5 strict pull-ups

5 strict press


INTENSITY SCALE

Hmmm... maybe cycle through the movements 1 set at a time instead of finishing all 3 sets to move on.


INJURY SCALE

Upper-body - Pick one challenging midline movement and one challenging lower-body movement, to two sets of Tabata for each. For example, Tabata sit-up, then Tabata lunge, then Tabata sit-up again, then Tabata lunge again.


MY STUFF

Did this as a team workout. One partner runs while the other does strict press and strict pull-ups. Good dose of noodle arms.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 5
