The Rope Climb (Basket)

7

Rope climbs have long been a staple of CrossFit and military training programs with a tradition of providing a great workout for the grip and pulling muscles. Climbing ropes offer a tremendous functional workout, whether used as part of an obstacle course or in a CrossFit gym. There are different ways to climb a rope and the movement is scalable through the use of progressions that work the skill and strength needed to perform the movement.

9:38 scaled (“time” when feet hit floor)

used slightly over BW but same weight as last time, however this time I cleaned the weight from the floor and did 15-12-9 back squats unbroken but slow and 5-4-3 climbs to 12’ from seated off floor (first 3-4 “pulls” legless). Legs were sore after round 1. Grip and arms were holding me back by round 3.

This was good scaling for me today. Really didn’t want to go unbroken, go with body weight, OR clean from the floor so I compromised on reps...also, arms are still a bit sore from pullup-palooza last week and my rope climb scale may actually be harder than a 15’ climb with a jump so definitely didn’t mind scaling the rope climb reps today.

Did 11-10, then 9-6, and then 9 at a moderate pace. Pushed the ropeclimbs early but fell off pace for the 5s. Considerable transition as the rope is in a tree across the yard and squat rack is through the garage in the basement.

Not sure what the hell happened between last time and this time. Did the DL from 210915 before this one, but I can’t see it accounting for that much of a disparity.

180# bw today.  Unbroken back squats – not too bad really.  Each round, tried to do 2 rope climbs in a row before taking a break.  They went well today, but definitely the slower part of the workout.

Globo scale: if you do not have a rope, sub 21-15-9 towel pullups and knees to elbows, 21-15-9 reps of l-pullups, or 21-15-9 strict pullups and V-ups, or 42-30-18 bodyweight rows and 21-15-9 v-ups. If using dumbbells do front squats at a combined weight of 80% of your bodyweight. If 35/50s are the max and around 50-65% bodyweight increase to 30-20-10 reps, or do the pistol sub seen below.


Bodyweight/equipmentless sub: throw a towel over a tree branch or other sturdy overhanging object and do 21-15-9 towel pullups and v-ups, and 26-20-14 pistol squats. If you are not proficient in pistols sub 1 jump lunge left, 1 jump lunge right, and 1 jumping air squat per bodyweight back squat.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

This is another example of a workout where I tricked myself into doing more than I originally intended on doing. It can be very defeating when thinking of any of these sets as they are, let alone doing 3 rounds. This is where tricking yourself can help you to stay focused on what you are doing right now, not what lies ahead. "Can I make it to 12 reps on this squat? Sweet, now maaaaaybe I can make it to 17. Son of a... might as well finish all 21 now".


WORKOUT THEMES

Squatting and pulling done in ways and in a volume than can really be a rough metabolic stimulus. Squatting with medium weight and pulling with skill (core-toi-extremity), both at high volume, but still making the intensity a priority - which comes from being able to do a lot of reps without stopping more than going really fast.


MAIN DECISION

Do I want to scale to emphasize the skill of the rope climb or the strength?


TECHNIQUE SCALE

As listed, just shut off the timer. Anything under an hour is fine, just aim for no rope burns on the legs and no movement in the feet/knees on the squat.


CONSISTENCY SCALE

5 rounds of:

30-sec. active hold at the bottom of the squat (light weight)

8 strict pull-ups


INTENSITY SCALE

3 rounds for time of:

21 back squats (unbroken)

12 burpees

*practice rope climbs/strict pull-ups/kipping pull-ups in the warmup


INJURY SCALE

Upper-body - 3 rounds, 21 back squats, 400-m run

Lower-body - AMRAP in 15 minutes of: 30-sec L-sit, 1 legless rope climb (or strict pull-up)


MY STUFF

I did 3 rounds of 21 back squats at 95 lbs, 3 legless rope climbs, then completely forgot to look at the timer when I was done. I'm a dingus.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7
