Workout of the Day

78

Meet Guest Programmer – Michele Letendre: Dec. 4-17, 2023.

3 rounds for time of:
Row 500 meters
15 ring dips
5 bar muscle-ups

Post time to comments.

Goal: Upper-body endurance. Aim to finish in 10-14 minutes.

If you are efficient at a high volume of unbroken ring dips and bar muscle-ups, this workout is going to be about the row. Other athletes will be limited by upper-body endurance. The row and the ring dips will compound, making the bar muscle-ups more difficult, so technique is key to staying efficient.

Aim for a hard effort on the row, finishing between 1:45 and 2:05. Aim for a consistent rep scheme on the ring dips whether that's unbroken, 10 and 5, or 3 sets of 5, and an unbroken effort on the bar muscle-ups.

Scaling:

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
Row 500 meters
10 band-assisted strict ring dips
5 jumping bar muscle-ups

Beginner option:
Row 350 meters
10 foot-assisted bar dips
5 jumping pull-ups

Beginner athletes may struggle on the dips. Scale the difficulty so you can complete sets of 5 at the start. Jumping pull-ups should be difficult enough that you feel yourself pull your chin over the bar rather than just jumping.

Just went hard on the rows on this workout. Maintained 2:00 min pace, until I redlined on round 3. PullUps were not as many as I hoped, and rows did not interfere with dips. Definitely went hard on this one.

parallets for Dips

there's an annoying bar in the way of the MU so even if I could, I’m afraid to hit my head if I try to connect 2+ MU

Time was 11:58, first 2 sets of ring dips unbroken, last set split up 10 and 5. Overall enjoyed the WOD. Enjoying Letendre's programing. No wonder she sends numerous athletes to the games each year. Her programming is top notch.

Did our Friday Bulletproof workout instead.


18 minute AMRAP

6 Deadlift (155#)

7 Burpee Pull-ups

10 KB Swing (53#)

200m run

5rds +6+7

3 min rest, then

Every 6 minutes for 3 sets (fastest time)

21-15-9 (Scaled to 18-12-6 last 2)

Cals row

Sandbag squats (40#)

5:18 – 5:18 – 5:15


We scaled Rankel and modified the 231208 WOD to close out the work week. I ended up scaling the last 2 sets of the row/squat couplet as I was pretty sure I was probably going to bust the 6 minutes - my legs were already feeling pretty spicy from the AMRAP going into the couplet. All this done outside in a brisk 35F - what a way to start the day!

Globo scale: If rings are not available sub either TRX dips or weighted bar dips 15/20lb dumbbell. If the pullup bar you have available isn't conducive to bar muscleups (such as height, it isn't a straight bar, or there's something above it too close) sub either 10 jumping bar muscleups in a Smith machine or 15 chest to bar or strict pullups. Row subs 400m run or 28 calories assault or echo bike. Busy gym do each element separately and move along to the next element as fast as possible (1500m row, 45 ring dips, 15 BMU)

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Yo! My comments haven't been going through for a minute for some reason. Back on it looks like. Anyway, it's worth mentioning again that every sport I know of has more practices than games, and the ratio is pretty heavily favored to practices (football is 6:1, basketball is usually 5:2, track and cross country is like 15:1, especially early in the season). So with that in mind, if you are truly viewing CrossFit as your sport, where does this workout fall for you? Is it a game? Okay, fine, then what does that mean tomorrow needs to be? And if it's practice, then what can you work on so that next time a game with similar movements comes up (Elizabeth, Jackie) you'll be better off? Jumping into every workout as listed full-go is... well... still proven to be an elegant solution to the world's most vexing problem. But I do believe there is a better, more long-lasting way. And this workout, in particular, would be a great one to scale towards an area you want to practice.


MAIN DECISION

Do I do this thing as listed regardless of now sloppy/how long it takes, or scale it to work on my limiting factor?


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT


MEDIUM

x

HEAVY


STRENGTH SCALE

3 rounds of:

Row 500 meters

2:00 ring dip/hold practice

2:00 strict pull-up practice


STAMINA SCALE

Mush everything together into one round. Or just make sure everything is unbroken, even if it means resting more.


ENDURANCE SCALE

3 rounds of:

Row 500m

10 burpees

1 rope climb

-or just do it as listed and sprint the row each round, even if it hurts your overall time


NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE

As is, just sub push-ups for ring dips and sub 15 kips for bar muscle-ups


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 8?
