I also like using the DB's on the pushup to help for people who have wrist pain when preforming a pushup.

Ring push-ups might be a good option as well. when you hold gymnastics rings in hands and push-up from the floor, not rings hanging on straps from the bar.

Entrenamiento en la agronomía.

Usé un desnivel en el pasto para tener el talon un poco elevado y generar un movimiento un poquito más cómodo. Admiro las personas con super movilidad que hacen ver las pistols descalzos sin elevación como algo fácil. Las pistols son un movimiento desafiante que me gustaría hacer sin elevación. En estas cantidades (150 rep) calculé que iba a terminar levantando el talón del piso al llegar al fondo en demasiadas reps. Muy conforme con el rango de movimiento en cada rep, y el peso bien distribuido en el pie empujando con el talon para subir. Voy a incluir practica de pistols en algunos cool down para empezar a hacerlas con 0 elevacion. Las flexiones fueron lo que más me detuvo. Buen entrenamiento. Gracias!

21:33 accidentally did SLS first. Large sets today on both but not to failure. Nearer to failure on pushups. Cardio and balance/muscle fatigue slowed me down equally on pistols. At the beach with a camp chair butt target (to parallel, but just barely)


Warmup was 50 walking lunges and 4 pistols. No food before wod

19:20 - Rx (tried to hit a big set at the start of each round for push-up and held on to small sets to finish up. Big sets at the start of each round were 32-15-12-8-6 followed by sets of 4-8 to get the rest of each round done. Pistols were steady on the first 3 rounds and then I went faster on the round of 20 and 10.)

With 20# weight vest, 21:01.


Pistols were rough.  Took an extended warm-up, as even unweighted pistols are a challenging movement for me.  Did push-ups with hands on 45# plates, to ensure full ROM –the vest shorts you a couple inches on push-ups.  Started sets of 10 on the push-ups, but quickly had to pare that back to more like quick 5’s.  Just tried to plug through the pistols, resting after every 10 and resting in other places as well.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

Gymnastics strength. Squatting with unilateral loading and lots of range of motion, and pushing at midrange


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT

x

MEDIUM


HEAVY


SCALING FOR LIMITING FACTORS

Flexibility - turn off the timer, grab on to something for pistols or use a box

Stamina - do max sets of push-ups and rest longer if needed; do half the reps on one side for pistol before moving to the other

Coordination - sub lunges for pistols, allow for snaking on push-ups to make sure shoulders move forward first


MY STUFF

35:38. Slow and for quality, pistols on box or holding on to a pole. Nothing like a WOD designed for 10 minutes to take 35. Great dose of humble.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 4
