15 push-ups
20 single-leg squats, alternating

*After every 3 rounds, run 400 meters.

Post rounds completed to comments.
Compare to 180127.

Intermediate Option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
5 chest-to-bar pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 single-leg squats to a box, alternating

*After every 3 rounds, run 400 meters.

Beginner Option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
5 jumping chest-to-bar pull-ups
10 knee push-ups
20 walking lunges

*After every 3 rounds, run 400 meters.

ended up walking the last minute, just completely gassed. All movements were quality each round however, so I was happy about that.

11 rounds


Wanted to end it all on even numbers so I did round 12 and 4th run (not timed) after a short rest - I had to really smoke myself in round 11 to finish in time. Don't have any compare to data prior to mid-2020, so this will be new PR.

5 Lat pull-downs (110#)

20 Squats

*After every 3 rounds, run 400 meters (treadmill)


Round times:

1:22/1:22/1:23

2:42

1:14/1:18/1:21

2:54

1:18/1:20/1:19

2:22

2 x Pull-downs in the last 5 seconds


I took the first round slow, pausing between sets to pace, which I try to do on longer workouts so I don't go too fast. I typically try to then maintain the pace for the whole workout, I actively tried to slow down for rounds 2&3, so a nice place to be.

I took ~15sec to drink before and after the first 2 400s, plus time to spin up treadmill, ran them at about 8 min pace. Last one was at <7min pace. I should have pushed the first two runs harder.


My mindset this year is to overscale and do too little, rather than too much. I think this is a good approach for, at least for me, (re)starting Crossfit. There is always tomorrow

Globo wod: If you do not have a bar you can kip on do strict pullups today. Running subs 500m row or 27 calories assault or echo bike. If you are using a conventional treadmill use a slight incline. Busy gym: do AMRAP 15 minutes near a pullup bar, then divide the rounds completed by 3 and run 400 meters times that number. Round up to the nearest whole number. Do this as fast as possible and as soon as possible after the AMRAP.

A variation on a benchmark with more stamina and an endurance dose. Squatting, pushing, pulling. Unilateral loading. Gymnastics, monostructural.


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT


MEDIUM x


HEAVY


POWER SCALE

Cindy


STRENGTH SCALE

Do one 800-meter sprint, then immediately start up Strict Mary


ENDURANCE SCALE

As is, but actually sprint the 400-meter effort


MY STUFF

When I feel sick, I am really a fan of bundling up in as much clothes as possible and doing a 20-30 minute low-intensity workout to "sweat it out" so to speak. I don't know if there's any science behind it, but I swear it helps me a lot. I did that today. One-arm ring rows, overhead press/walk/ squats. Went for about 24 minutes and felt much better after.

Commented on: The CrossFit Ethos

I wanted to wait a few articles to post this thought to see if it wasn't just a one-off, but one of the themes I've noticed in this series so far seems to be highlighting things that make CrossFit better than the competition, and my thought to that is: seriously, who is really in competition with CrossFit? Orange Theory? I haven't even heard of F45. To me, because the methodology is so freaking sound and the ethos is so strong, our only competition is ourselves... which is ironic considering individually that's why we put our names and results on the whiteboard. Just like Michigan doesn't really have to claim they're a better football program than Central, Eastern, Western, and Sparty, I don't think CrossFit has to pay any mind to what other fitness programs are doing. If anything external merits the term "competitor" I would think it would be along the lines of what Coach was fighting against Big Soda and broken/corrupted science. As usual, though, I assume I'm not seeing as full of a perspective as someone like Nicole would see. I'm in a little bubble here in Madison Heights.


Other thoughts:


Humility - I know I've said it before in some rants, but I just don't understand how someone can do CrossFit and not be humble. Dunking on someone? Yeah, that would feel great, tell them they're too little! Throwing a perfect touchdown pass? Also would feel great, do your celebration (unless it's enough to warrant a flag). Smashing a home run? Go ahead and do your bat flip. Hit a pr in Elizabeth or Abbate? Ha... see how much you feel like celebrating. Oh, you really want to brag about your Barbara score? You want to go ahead and demonstrate that for me? Didn't think so.


Accountability - I never really thought of the whiteboard in that way, but I'm really glad it was brought up here. I have been slacking on keeping our whiteboard up-to-date on the regular, non-benchmark workouts, and this is a great reminder to pick the effort back up.


I never realized the point made about mirrors either, so that was dope.


The main theme I'm seeing in this series so far is that everyone that does CrossFit needs to take ownership in CrossFit itself. I'm behind that completely. For me, that would mean not getting sour when I feel a loss of the "good ol' days" vibe or when a spinoff of a Girls workout comes up, or when a workout demo shows bad form or not going outside in cold weather. I also think that means that I need to start to make sure the Champions Club peeps get a better understanding of the big picture of CrossFit, of articles like this.


To protect our ethos, we must protect our methodology. If you miss or dilute a single piece of the methodology, you start to lose its efficacy, its “magic.” In other words, you don’t just mess with the methodology, you mess with our ethos. You mess with the very heart of who we are and what we are recognized for.


Great stuff Nicole! Thank you for taking the time to write this series!

This is a great article.

Well stated Chris.

I use a whiteboard in my garage gym----no one else will see my times or weights, but I will. It keeps me accountable and I love it. Did not quite make that CTB this AM? I need to no-rep myself and do another one correctly, no matter what the clock says.

I'm so thankful for mainsite/HQ---this is my virtual box--to hold me accountable and get a sense of the community.

Nice...extra rant? You're on point as usual dude.


Thanks for the chuck-up my man. Been training solo in general for the last 24 years, and CF almost exclusively since I started in earnest in 07. The methodology and ethos have best fit my own ethos ('character' as Nicole stated) and erratic professional demands in function, time and locations. I love the variation as I never get bored unlike workouts I did prior to finding CF. Plus, there have been a number of folks over the years who have asked if I wanted to workout together, but when I give them the what and when I do it they usually only show up for the first session. They don't usually come back because they don't really want to put in the work.


I promote CF to my subordinates, peers, and supervisors on the regular. They ask if today is a workout day and I tell them 'yeah, it's a training day'. "Training for what" they ask? My reply is usually: "Life...to always be ready for the next fight - to be ready for whoever, whatever, wherever, whenever". CrossFit is hands down the best training for just that in my opinion.


Personal accountability (a.k.a. ownership) is the crux in improving yourself in any regard.
