Scaling:
This couplet will tax your grip. Choose dumbbell loading and a pull-up modification that allow you to keep moving, even with short working sets followed by a quick rest. New athletes should reduce the overall volume.

Intermediate Option:
5 rounds for time of:
50-ft dumbbell front-rack lunge
20 pull-ups

♀ 25-lb DBs ♂ 35-lb DBs

Beginner Option:
3 rounds for time of:
50-ft dumbbell front-rack lunge
15 assisted pull-ups

♀ 10-lb DBs ♂ 15-lb DBs

13:49 for only 4 rounds as rx’d. Done out of sequence also. Enough for me today. Unbroken lunges and 2 sets each on pull-ups, so plenty of intensity. Began round 1 pull-ups with 12 strict and stopped because I didn’t want to get too gassed too early. After the 2nd set of pull-ups my HR kept getting redlined on every set..


No warmup except 6 goblet lunges w a 50 , no breakfast, and only 1 pot of matè!

As rx’d, 11:46 (PR).


Whoo, this one is a spicy meatball!  Unbroken lunges, and did pull-ups 25 / 15-10 / 15-10 / 10-10-5 / 10-6-5-4.  It’s metabolically tough starting in round 2, and the grip/forearms/biceps really start to get nasty by round 4.  Splits were:  1:30 / 2:00 / 2:30 / 3:00 / 3:00.  PR by about a minute from last year’s effort.

Did Nancy (intermediate) from 220815, results there.

Then

2 rounds, untimed

50ft weighted walking lunge 25# DBs (not in the front rack)

25 ring rows


Plagued by back spasms the last 4-5 days and some sort of elbow issue I am getting looked at, so I did what I could. Ring rows, light OHS, and keeping the DBs at my side didn't cause too much issue. I tried just to hang from the pull-up bar and that was too much load on my elbow, and I knew that a front rack carry was a definite no-go today.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

Gymnastics and... I'd still wall weighted lunges gymnastics I think. Eh, maybe weightlifting, because squatting with weight is weightlifting. Stamina, squatting, unilateral loading, grip strength, pulling with skill are also themes.


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT


MEDIUM x


HEAVY


STAMINA SCALE

Sub 50 unweighted lunges for weighted lunges, go for the closest to unbroken as you can (also means no resting/pausing/stopping rhythm on lunges).


STRENGTH SCALE

Sub 15 strict pull-ups per round instead of kipping


COORDINATION SCALE

AMRAP in 15 minutes of:

20 lunges

15 kips

*practice strict pull-ups in the warmup


MY STUFF

13:10, did 50 walking lunges (no weight), pull-ups were unbroken rounds 3-5


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 5

Commented on: The Kipping Pull-Up

I feel the kipping pull-up and the strict pull-up accomplish different things physically and are very different when programed in a workout.

Commented on: The Kipping Pull-Up

If you cannot do five consecutive strict muscle-ups, learning to kip is counterproductive. As an historical aside, I'd deemphasize the kipping pull-up were we to do things again.

I imagine you might feel the same with kipping HSPU?

Basically, that is correct, Jade. The kipping pull-up is an ineluctable consequence of high rep strict pull-ups. Before an athlete gets to 40 pull-ups the kip arises spontaneously. It doesn't need to be taught and perhaps should not be.


My thoughts on the "kipping" HSPU can be found here:

I am not a fan of the "kipping" HSPU!

Thanks Coach (CrossFit has changed my life). Is this because of risk of injury or just wrong trajectory for progression. I always liked the kipping pull up because it allowed me to get much more volume and i figure it builds coordination, strength and flexibility amongst a bunch of muscle groups big and small. Full disclosure: i can't do 5 strict MUs and probably never will. JonNYC (XF since 2008).
