Rest Day

Post thoughts to comments.

Or

Every 4:00 for 6 rounds complete:
15-calorie ski erg
400-meter run

*If needed, substitute 15 toes-to-bars for the ski erg.

Post each round time to comments.


Scaling:
The goal of these efforts is to get at least 1 minute of rest between rounds. Reduce the calories and distance in order to complete each round in under 3 minutes. If you do not have a ski erg, modify the movement to 15 toes-to-bars.

Beginner option:
Every 4:00 for 4 rounds complete:
10-calorie ski erg
300-meter run

With T2B sub, each round was ~2:30.  T2B unbroken in rounds 1 and 6.  Otherwise 10-5.  Did not push runs but didn’t dog it – tried to keep form the same on all.

I really didn’t feel like legless rope climbs so I did 10 rnds with a minute rest between rnds. Scaled the rope climbs from lying to standing and then regular rope climbs up to 15’ height.

I personally don't have any issues with breaking the 3 on, 1 off, 1 workout a day cycle as it provides another aspect of variation. However, I maintain that it should always be done with a purpose/goal, regardless of what it is. Rule number 1 for me is: listen to your body (and I have learned that through pain). If you need to take a rest day, do so, no matter the reason. If you want (or need) to do a 2-a-day and your body will weather it, do so. If you don't want to rest, but your body won't support an intense effort then dial the WOD down (scale the heck out of it) or do something entirely different (like a leisurely bike ride or hike). I have always regarded the Rx WODs to be programmed for the most elite athletes (of which I am not), so I don't feel bad if I can't do something Rx or my time/reps/rounds fall way short of others' results. Chris Sinagoga regularly points out (at least to me) in his rants/comments/notes/questions that the individual needs to look at each WOD first through the question of 'what do I want/need to get out of this workout?' and then go from there when deciding on scaling, subbing, resting, etc.


This is not coming from a certified trainer, coach, affiliate owner, seminar staff or someone otherwise professionally associated with CrossFit - just thoughts from a guy in his mid-40s who has trained solo following .com since roughly 2006/7 (as internet access would allow anyway).

Hell yeah. I take the “if you want or need rest, take it. If you don’t, then don’t” stance. Personal freedom to go hard or not or somewhere between. I appreciate you, Mr. K!

It's great to have Mr.Ben Smith programming for a couple of weeks but, I appreciate him a lot as an athlete and an example of Ethos of the crossfit community.

I would like to remember that at every L1 o L2, during the Programming Lecture, we explain that Crossfit.com goes 3on/1off since the beginning of all times and also we program 1 workout a day to hit at our 100%.

I would like not to lose credibility at the eyes of the participants by suggesting them to follow .com and having these examples.

thanks

Marco, Seminar Staff since 2013.

3on/1off and 1 Workout per day is a Suggestion.


Constantly Varied, Functional Movements, Executed at High Intensity is the Prescription.


Ben’s expression of that Prescription is World Class. He owns and operates one of the main CrossFit Programming Subscriptions alongside Mayhem, Proven, and the like.


We lose credibility if we act like this style of Programming isn’t CrossFit even though it exists at 1000’s of Affiliates.


All styles and expressions of CrossFit should be showcased on CrossFit.com


As a long time CrossFit.com participant/connoisseur I love to see Ben’s style of Programming highlighted. Program for the Best, Scale for the Rest.

Really excited about the rest option or the workout. Been hoping to see more prescribed rest workouts though, like mobility or zone2 cardio.


Surely, Sunday will be a rest day right?

Globo wod: Rest day for most, or make up day. Run subs are 500m row or 27 calories assault or echo bike. If you are using a conventional treadmill use a slight incline. Sub stick situps or. V-ups if a pullup bar or ski erg isn't available.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

When I first saw this my initial reaction was... huh? But I gotta remember that Ben is way fitter than I am, and I like in the video the other day how he said he programs for the tip of the spear, that these workouts are supposed to, over time, exceed the capacities of the fittest athletes on earth. So if you need a rest day, take a rest day. These workouts would definitely be out of my comfort zone to coach (and do, probably) but that doesn't mean they're bad. From my fitness perspective, I think it would be interesting to challenge the athletes who don't feel the need to take a rest day to think critically about their previous three workouts and see if there was any room in there to push the intensity to the point where a rest day is needed. On the other hand, if this is done to cater to affiliate owners who like to have workouts posted every day for the members who might have missed one during the week, I can see that too. Though I've never done a ski erg, or been skiing in general, this one looks spicy for sure!


WORKOUT THEMES

Monostructural. Moderate output followed by not a very long recovery. Maybe something that can also be done as an active recovery?


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT x


MEDIUM


HEAVY


FORMAT/MOVEMENT QUESTIONS

Does what my brain wants (work out) follow along with what my body wants?

Do I want to emphasize either the run or the ski effort?

All out and let the pace decline, or keep a steady pace the entire time?


MY STUFF

Rest day for me
