As rx’d.  3 rounds + 4 FS (125#) / 3 rounds + 1 FS (155#)

 

Spicy!  Unbroken front squats.  Bike alternated between trying to recover and trying to push, depending on how I felt.  Second round with 155 was particularly nasty.

Subbed row for bike and scaled weights to 95 and 115# respectively.

3 rds

3 rds + 9 (finished 4th for good measure)


I set C2 on drag 6. 12 cal rows averaged around 26 sec, 9 cal rows were all 21 sec except 4th was at 20. FS unbroken but I did a little extra checking of the box picking from the rack with the bar on the shoulders and forearms crossed - left wrist and elbow are quite sore from yesterday’s landscaping work.

Did a strength workout this morning (3x3 power cleans, heavy 3x5 front squat, heavy 3x5 thrusters, and some accessories), so doing this workout this afternoon was probably a mistake that my quads will regret in the morning. But I couldn't resist:


RX'd with AirDyne bike.

85 and 105# FS and burpees vice bike.

2 rounds + 12 FS

3 rounds


Legs were good, burpees were good. Wrists were the LIMFAC. Only r1 of each FS set unbroken, as I had to shake the wrists out after that. The rest seemed too long to me, probably meaning my pace on the first 5 minutes was too slow.


As to Chris’ challenge, no rest btwn squats, minimal rest btwn squats and burpees. Probably 5-10 sec x4 to shake the wrists out and 5 seconds btwn burpees and the bar. A good thing to think about for me.

2) 2R + 9 FS


all squats from rack.


Chris - vaguely kept track of working time vs. rest during the 5 minute cycle. it was probably about 3 minutes of active work and the rest was transitioning between rower and squat rack (about 20s each way) or pausing at the top of the FS.

5min rest (changing plates in 2:30)


2nd Interval

2 rds + 3 frontsquats


For the challenge: all frontsquats were unbroken with a single breath on top. However I had to split up the second set of 155 lb (5+4). Way to the rower allowed some rest but I'm not sure how much. Btw: Racked.

Depending on how experienced you are Patrick, a breath at the top (assuming there's a brief pause) is not unbroken. It's probably a 2:1 work/rest interval repeated 12 times. So Tabata, in other words.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

I have an experiment for anyone willing: instead of counting rounds in the 5 minutes, count how much time you're NOT working during those 5 minutes. So that meant transition from bike to bar and bar to bike, resting at the top of a front squat, setting the bar down, etc. When you look at that, you'll 1) see how much a pansy you are - it's humbling for me when I keep track of it, and 2) realize that every CrossFit workout is really an interval workout, just some of them are formalized (like today) and some of them are informal.


WORKOUT THEMES

High output followed by medium recovery.


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT


MEDIUM x


HEAVY


FORMAT QUESTIONS

Is my sprint biking pace different than my "trying hard" biking pace?

Do I even have a bike?

Do I wan to make speed of movements the priority or total round count?


MOVEMENT QUESTIONS

Is my form good enough to warrant a sense of urgency on both movements?

Do I want to do a different kind of squat and go as rx'd weight, or work on my front rack position and go lighter?

Does 12 or 9 reps at a time give me enough blocked practice (doing the same thing over and over and over)


MY STUFF

Did a trail/stairs workout with Matt at Bloomer Park. He only lapped me twice - I did 8, he did 10 loops. Cecilia and Chase came too.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7?

I gave your experiment a try and humbling indeed. Somewhere around 84 seconds the first cycle and 120 seconds cycle 2. It seems counterintuitive that there was more transition/rest time in cycle 2 while more rounds completed but there were less reps too. That was a great way to look at performance, thanks.
