Swings + run were 16'30''.

Did 50 + 50 additional swings, for good measure.

Run was really slow, a little under 8 minutes... Too early in the morning, still stiff. But did a relaxed 6km run post-WOD, to enjoy the beautiful morning.

Went 60-15 on the first round of swings. Run pace was slower, over 8mins. 2nd set of swings was 20-10-10-10-10-10-5. Was hoping for less breaks but didn't have the stuff today. Still recovering from a banged up knee and got some new sleeves today! Yea! Getting older!

Globo scale: if you do not have a kettlebell sub dumbbell swings 35/50lb dumbbell. Running subs are 2000m row, 100 cal echo/assault bike, 4000m bike erg, or 100 burpees. If using a treadmill use a slight incline.


Equipmentless/bodyweight sub: sub backpack/bag swings or power cleans, or do swings or cleans with any available object, such as a case of bottled water, a cooler, or something else. If you do not have access to this, sub 35 bodyweight glute bridges and 40 air squats per 75 swings.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

The kb swing is one of those movements that it's easy to check the box on; did it get overhead or did it not. To me, the range of motion is only... well, not only... but mainly important for a retesting value. What if do can get it overhead but you overextend the spine every time? What if you can get it overhead but you start pulling with the arms/back after 20 reps? On the flip side, what if you don't get it overhead but keep your bodyweight on your feet solid throughout the entire movement? Or what if you can't get it overhead but you finally get the concept of squeezing your butt instead of just cranking it up with the back? It helps me to view range of motion as a movement factor more often than a movement standard, similar to speed, load, volume, and orientation. Today you have 150 chances to practice good deadlift habits, jumping habits, landing habits, core-to-extremity habits, and rhythm habits. And probably some more stuff I'm not thinking of. I think it would be a good idea to pick one of those things to emphasize, not just do the rep because that's what it calls for. Lastly, BERT vs. Scott Frost tomorrow (or today, depending on when you read this): college football at it's funniest!


WORKOUT THEMES

Using volume to challenge our running and jumping capacity. Jumping with light weight, rhythm, stamina, and core-to-extremity are also themes.


MAIN DECISION

See the rant. Check the box on swings or exaggerate something?


TECHNIQUE SCALE

5 rounds for time of:

Run 400 (or somewhere around 1:30)

25 kb swings (cut ROM, keep rhythm/position)


CONSISTENCY SCALE

Mush the kb swings all together, put them before the run if you want to use stamina/endurance to challenge the run, or after the run if you want to use endurance/stamina to challenge the swing


INTENSITY SCALE

Do a few sets of short sprints with kb swings at the end. Rest in between


INJURY SCALE

Upper-body - either one-arm dumbbell snatch or push press for kb swing

Lower-body - besides the obvious bike/row sub, doing an AMRAP with something like sit-ups and kb swings would be a good sub because they each tax out the other, but are large enough movement patterns that you can go for a while


MY STUFF

12:38 as rx. I was a pansy on the first round and rested at 53. Last set was unbroken, but "checked the box" on the last 15 reps: all arms!


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7
