I workout in normal gym so did not know the substitute and how much time will it take on stationary bike or elliptical trainer. Did 2 rounds on eliptical but was taking too long for 20 cal on the machine so did with an idea for 1:30 min each and at a good speed but still was able to burn around 7-8 cal and on stationary bike there is no panel for any details so did with an idea.

If anyone could guide me for future what to do as substitute on these 2 machines in terms of time or by comparing them in terms of cal and please don't tell substitute as treadmill as for that I know I could do that as well but for bike workout wanted to do as similar as possible. It will be great for me if someone would help me.

Unsure of air bike calibration so went for 20cal/round which likely equals out. First 2 rounds of C&Js took 0:54, third round fell apart but the rower time was somewhat consistent.

Broke only once each set of C&J. Could have done 30 cal on the rower but the weather was just too nice to not get out on the bike, so it was an estimated distance to achieve 30 cal.  Took about 10-15 seconds to transition from C&J station to get to the bike and going.

Ripptoe has turned into a fitness curmudgeon. I’d take the overall fitness and strength blend of a CF athlete over a massive 1RM Olympic lift any day. 

One quibble with CF and Burgener’s methodology:  I just don’t see how doing unloaded movements with a PVC pipe is useful…I get no feedback, positive or negative, from such unweighted movements. For example, I do OHS as part of my warmup, based on the original CF warmup, with a 45# bar, not PVC as was originally Rx. I just can’t really tell if I have a PVC in the right position, whereas the Barr will definitely tell me. 
Thoughts, anyone?

As rx’d, 3:29 / 4:20 / 4:27.  (Rogue Echo bike)
 
So much hurt.  First round C&J went 11-4, should have toughened up and gone unbroken.  Second round 5-5-5, last round singles.  Singles was all I had left and they still left me smoked for the bike.  Was able to sprint a bit on the last round.  Did not sprint on rounds 1 and 2 – I’m not crazy.

Kind of went with Chris S.’s rant. I only took a small breather after first round. As a whole I didn’t take any breaks. I wasn’t up for going as hard as I need to, to justify taking breaks.

Champions Club Scaling Notes

RANT
I think when doing a workout like this, we have to be honest with ourselves and ask if we are willing to go fast enough (or if we have the technique to go fast enough) to deserve a rest. A way to determine that for this workout could be to see if you'd go faster with the rest than without; if it's a little faster, then rest a little bit, if it's a good amount faster, rest a good amount, if it's a lot faster, then rest more than 2 minutes.

WORKOUT THEMES
High output followed by medium recovery. Monostructural and weightlifting. Big range of motion, core to extremity, showing how much of a cardio response you can get from Olympic lifts.

GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 8

I really like Mark Rippetoe's writing style and I thought his comments were way more funny than insulting. I know I've let some of our peeps get away with sloppy form as fatigue set in, whether it's in clean and jerks or regular air squats. The one thing I'd add is that having high rep Olympic lifts as a staple in the program really give some context for technique on one rep maxes - meaning, you want to make sure there aren't any differences in your max effort snatches and Isabel. Things like set-up, hook grip, high hang pocket, and knees forward landing might be a dead-end and not as applicable to doing high reps.

Well written Stephane! It feels continually frustrating that a lot of these arguments come from a lack of understanding of what we actually do (or strive to do) in the box 

mechanics-consistency-intensity: if it's not reinforced from the get go you end up with consistently poor-mechanics done at high intensity.

These arguments are just as solid when applied to any sport. Watching the Olympics, all those athletes have achieved elite status because they have listened to their coaches who have dialled them in constantly, incessantly on holding technique even when fatigued. Each time this is done builds resilience and the ability to go a little further, a little harder, a litter faster the next time. Success and excellence are developed incrementally over time.

Start with the basics. Crush the fundamentals. When the focus is form before speed (mechanics-consistency before intensity), adaptations and, thus, fitness improves.
