Completed post 230101.


power clean -225

bench -245

overhead squat -125


total -595


pretty faded after 0101 and only matched PR weight on the clean. Time constraint as well, ymca was turning off the lights on me.


missed about a dozen wods this past year after completing them all in 2021. Took the year off on a few things (more beers, less attention to diet) so not surprising now that it’s over. Both years had some injuries sustained that derailed training, but this past years lower back strain lingered for a good 3 months. No excuses, just looking forward to 2023 and getting more focused on what I put into my body.

Globo wod: If you have a rack, bench and bumper plates today you're all set. Use a spotter if you're trying to max your bench. If a bench isn't available sub a 1rm floor press or 1rm weighted bar or ring dip. You can also use a well built box jump as a bench. If you are using iron plates today consider doing power cleans and front squats (use safety pins, spotter arms and/or a spotter for the front squats). Dumbbells sub dumbbell power cleans, bench press, and one arm OHS (do left, than right), working to a max in each category. If you max the available dumbbells do an AMRAP set.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

As sad as it is to say, I'm kinda still tripping on that Workout Demo posted with "Daniel" a few days ago, and that's because it sparked me thinking about the concept of "identity." I was hesitant to bring it up again because I wasn't in that gym (or state even), I don't know the athletes, and I don't know any other background information - so my knee-jerk reaction being "that's soft as hell" doesn't carry much weight. But what does is the fact that I'm pretty sure they're all wearing shirts from the gym that Roza owns (or used to own); after hearing him talk in Affiliate Town Halls and other stuff, I would definitely believe people that represent his gym would sub running (in a Hero workout) because it was cold, just the same way that if you read my scaling notes often, you would have no trouble imagining people in the Champions Club not always squatting to full range of motion, or checking the box on workouts. I think it was Coach Glassman who said a gym will take on the personality of their coach.


And before I get into the identity thing, I should make another disclaimer that I haven't watched/listened to any of the new CEO's videos yet and I don't have any social media stuff, so I may be behind on the direction CrossFit is going. Also, my perspective is mostly as an outsider, though being an affiliate owner gave me a little more inside perspective, and doing these notes since 2019 has allowed me a little more access as well; I'd still call my view as an outside perspective.


Anyway, here's the stages of identity I've noticed in CrossFit since 2005:


  • 2005 - 2009(ish): tip of the spear, military, the Girls. Look at how fit you aren't and how fit you can become
  • 2008 - 2012(ish): coaching, CFJ 3.0. We have attracted the best minds in the world and our coaches are absolute superstars
  • 2013(ish) - 2018: CrossFit Games and CrossFit athletes. Look at how good it is possible to be at CrossFit. Could also be traced back to release of Every Second Counts
  • 190101 - June 2020: "10-year affiliates, docs in the box, and anyone else with a brain." Elegance, simplicity, empowerment, and critical thinking.


That Daniel Demo video really brought to light (and I hope it's a fair observation) that I don't really know what CrossFit's identity is right now. Like, if we're not running outside when it's cold, but we're focused on old people and don't want them to die today, or the class management of big groups of 50+ people working out at once, I could see that tradeoff. But take a look at the last three months of workouts and content and tell me what you think the identity of CrossFit Inc. (or LLC?) is. Best guess I have is professional-quality video production. Even the website header seems confused, changing its message/direction every few seconds.


The reason I find it important is because it seems easy for an individual person, team, or organization to get pulled in different directions unless they have a solid identity for what they're all about. And it's okay to change over time, as long as it's clear. I'd be really curious to hear anyone else's thoughts to see if I'm missing something.


WORKOUT THEMES

Max output with a dose of accuracy (only getting 3 attempts) followed by full recovery. Pushing at midrange, jumping, squatting with an upright torso.


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT


MEDIUM


HEAVY x


COORDINATION SCALE

AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

20 overhead squats (PVC pipe)

20 push-ups

20 hang cleans


STRENGTH SCALE

Pick one of the movements and do a normal max effort format, don't worry about only getting 3 attempts


BALANCE SCALE

Change bench press to push press (or strict press) and emphasize the bodyweight on the feet staying still for all 3 movements (especially landing on the clean)


MY STUFF

Worked up to 245 on cleans in between cleaning stuff


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 4

Chris, I’m far more of an outsider in CF than you, having been doing CF for over 15 years but only 4 workouts at a box. My thoughts on subs are this: we sub or scale for lack of strength/skill, lack of equipment, to address a different weakness in our fitness, or b/c we just don’t feel it that day. I do it all the time. That said, hero WODs to me are both workouts and a spiritual/emotional commitment, and shouldn’t be scaled for convenience or lack of will. Running in 22 degrees, especially by coaches, seems a no brainer.

I don’t envy box owners who have to create a culture (or programming) that attracts a range from the firebreathers to those turned off by bellowing alpha males to the elderly.

Agree Jim--well said.

I found mainsite in 2012 and fell in love with the Journal (and the wod demos from various affiliates during that year)--have 2 or 3 binders full of the articles. Hero wods are mental/emotional for me as well. Though 22 degrees in Michigan is normal, but maybe in Cali they weren't prepared for the weather???

Well stated Chris--like reading your "rants."

Happy New Year to all of you.

Chris, it took me a day to think about this. I agree that there is concrete direction (or an identity as you put it) missing from an outside perspective, especially since the fallout from Coach G's ouster in 2020. Just look at how few people post their WOD results on mainsite compared to even June 2020. I think your identity timeline is spot on as I am an outsider as much as Jim, and have been doing CrossFit in earnest since roughly 2007. I personally don't feel CrossFit had to change it's direction/identity much, if at all, from its earliest days. After more than a quarter century of military service 2 familiar adages come to mind: 'If it isn't broke, don't fix it'; and 'Attitude reflects leadership'. I really do think the 'identity' of CrossFit is lacking because of leadership. Change is good when a deficiency/malfunction/needed adaptation is identified (same reasons we scale/sub), but change for the sake of change creates confusion and draws focus away from the purpose. What is the purpose of CrossFit? What is the 'why'? That 'why' probably varies to some degree from person to person, organization to organization, but in general it used to be Forging Elite Fitness. There, I said it. And, elite fitness isn't just for world class athletes, it isn't training special forces only, it's all people working to be the fittest they can/want to be - physically, mentally, emotionally. Those words, Forging Elite Fitness, have been stricken from every nook and cranny on mainsite and I never saw a 'why' driving it. Business models need to adapt, websites need to be updated, etc. in order to stay relevant and competitive in the information age, but who is CrossFit competing with really? Peleton? Planet Fitness? I think not. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for the WODs and programming HQ provides as well as educational/instructional resources (clearly as I keep using it all), but the purpose of CrossFIt should be concretely re-identified and messaged clearly and concisely.


Keep your thoughts and perspective flowing my man!
