As rx’d, 10 rounds + 3 C&J (PR). 


PR by 2 reps, and had to really fight to get it.  Unbroken T2B until last round (6-2).  Forgot that C&J were the easy part of this workout, got into a better rhythm with them a few rounds in.  Did 5 right and 5 left, like last time.  Did the rows at about 1:55 pace, which is pretty much the same as last time – but felt harder this time.  Half the battle of PR-ing on this is just keeping your head down and doing the work, and not feeling sorry for oneself.

Well shoot, just saw the video. Didn’t realize this was single DB, single arm clean and jerk. I used 2 50lb DB’s. No wonder it kicked my ass. Not sure what I did last time, but that may explain the much weaker performance.

Intermediate (35# DB is the heaviest I have)

Either 8 or 9 rounds on the mark


Lost track of which round I was on at completion of 4 or 5. Goal was to go unbroken on TTB as it is a weakness for me - goal was met though still too slow at cycling the reps. Drag 6 on C2 and focused on maintaining power through each round (37-38 sec to reach 14 each round). First round of DB hang C&J was kinda ugly as I figured out how I wanted to split the reps (all jerks were push).

Mike and Jim, I don't have any kids, but I'm convinced that once someone becomes a dad they are automatically endowed with 1) an unrequited interest in lawn care, 2) supreme arm-wrestling ability, and 3) a mad post game. Mike, you sir are a dad, and therefore have a baby hook and a drop step somewhere deep down that you haven't tapped into yet.

Chris--Ha! That is true, I do have an "ok" baby hook--but my drop step is a fade away:)

My oldest started beating me on the regular when he was around 18'ish---it may be a bit sooner for my third

Though no interest in lawn care:) If it's mowed, that's good enough for me.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Knowing the original plan of a workout helps in scaling it pt. 1,001. A workout is part of a bigger picture of workouts pt. 1,001. Toes to bar started to appear in CrossFit after the 2010(?) Games because it's easier to judge if your toes touch the bar rather than your knees touch your elbows. Also, this workout was part of a series of tests designed to sift through a ton of people to find the fittest of the group; you would never see Helen where guys run 400 and girls run 300. Lastly, the purpose and benefit of dumbbells comes in their weirdness compared to a bar. Weird things (odd objects) make it harder to keep the movement technique - in this case, the concept of core-to-extremity. This is a good thing! Don't pull with the arms. Don't do a jumping dumbbell curl. Don't land with stiff legs. Extra points if you push jerk/split jerk the reps. Lastly lastly, remember we don't have a rower that hasn't been damaged with roof-leaking water, so always read the scales here for rowing with some apprehension.


WORKOUT THEMES

See rant. Also monostructural, gymnastics, weightlifting. Pulling from the hips, jumping, odd object, overhead, loss of connection/open chain.


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT


MEDIUM x


HEAVY


COORDINATION SCALE

AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

Run 400 meters

15 kips

10 push press


STRENGTH SCALE

As is, sub strict toes to bar and dumbbell strict press


ENDURANCE SCALE

Reverse the order, sprint every effort on the rower and live with the results.


MY STUFF

Kinda checked the box. Strict t2b, 40# strict press, 400m "run". Didn't count rounds. I'm cooked from the last few workouts.
