Thanks. Everyone knows that using weights in training makes you bulky... Thanks for giving us the words to answer that.

145-155-170-175-185-205-210-210-210 back hurting weirdly from yesterday’s WOD. Not sure which exercise did it but it hurts the low back to flex the spine like in the hip/back extensions. Did them slow and controlled and I’ve never had trouble with them or the other exercises before. I guess I’m just getting old and should have warmed up for slow body weight movements. Anyway I didn’t push the weight today. Went for technique work.

Failed a bunch on 185, cleaned but was feeling burnt out and could not jerk, next time!
Form isn't great to begin with and was challenged even more with the fatigue, but I felt it was good enough to finish reps.

Power Cleaned every rep, my brain doesn’t want to sink down for full cleans at heavier weight.
Anyone have tips for getting over this? (Did the same thing when I did CrossFit more regularly)

Tall cleans or cleans from the high hang, with enough weight that you can muscle clean or reverse curl the barbell.

Kevin, pick apart the lift to work your trouble part then do drills on it. Try just getting down and back up out of the hole. Maybe do a half dozen reps after warming up, with super strict form and a little pause at the bottom. Take it from the rack at around 145-155 lbs (or less if form is getting funky) a couple days per week. It should build up whatever is holding you back.
Commented on: Soft Drink Consumption During and Following Exercise in the Heat Elevates Biomarkers of Acute Kidney Injury
Two points that are obvious to many of you but deserve emphasis:
1. While this trial looked specifically at subjects drinking Mountain Dew during moderate exertion in heat, many of the drinks most heavily marketed as rehydration formulas contain similar amounts of sugar;
2. The level of activity in this trial was moderate in intensity, but high in duration (with three out of four hours active). This is directly applicable to a variety of active professions, but this study doesn't directly tell us about the impact on shorter-duration, more intensive exercise. Just as importantly, we don't know if these signs of acute kidney injury cause chronic kidney damage over time.
Other papers have suggested a link between fructose or sugary beverage consumption and kidney damage:
But as far as I know, this remains an interesting, but preliminary, branch of research on the impact of sweetened beverages on health.

Clarke, brilliant links.
Kidney damage has killed over 20,000 young sugar cane workers in Nicaragua and El Salvador.
Dr Johnson’s theory on Sugar Cane Kidney Disease involves metabolic pathways activated by dehydration, and lethal kidney damage caused by fructose from rehydration with sodas and fruit juices.
Sugar Cane Kidney Disease is the real life version of Chapman’s study. Workers are working hard, for long hours, dehydrated, and rehydrating with soda. This study by Chapman et al supports Johnson’s theory re fructose with quantifiable laboratory data.
Interesting, but sad.

This rep-scheme allows for plenty of time to practice and refine mechanics, at sub-maximal loads, before attempting near-maximum loads. I will have almost everyone attempt this workout as prescribed, as long as sound mechanics are maintained. Most of my experienced athletes will be coached to achieve near-max loads on the final set of 3 reps and the final set of 1 rep. For less experienced athletes, I will manage the loads so there is always a few reps left in the tank. Modifying the rep-scheme will only take place if a special situation presents itself, such as injury or severely deconditioned/new athletes. I will reduce load on the remaining sets if an athlete’s technique significantly deviates from sound mechanics or if there are multiple failed attempts.
Though I’ll coach a full squat clean today, it is important to understand that this movement is, essentially, about getting a load into a supported position and then getting it overhead. If technique is not sound, an athlete can perform the following sequence of movements to achieve this goal: 1. A power clean, followed by 2. a front squat (optional), and then 3. finishing by performing any overhead movement the athlete can perform soundly (shoulder press, push-press, push-jerk, or split-jerk).

Champions Club Scaling Notes
Won a close one tonight. Closer than it needed to be, but still a W.
STIMULUS:
Two notes about doing clean and jerks for multiple reps. First off, one of the best things I ever learned as a coach is how to look past the “code” of the movement and see the general movement pattern all the specific weight room things lump in to. For example, cleans are just an expression of jumping and landing. Are box jumps okay to do for more than 1 rep at a time? Are jumping jacks okay for 30 reps? Then why not Olympic lifts? A well-rounded athlete should be as successful as doing a 1 rep max clean and jerk as they are doing “Randy.”
Secondly, whenever multiple reps come up on a max effort day, don’t feel locked into doing an unbroken set (especially if it’s something that involves hanging on to a bar.) Depends what you want to get out of it, but nothing wrong with, on those sets of 5, to set down after 4, take three breaths, then knock out the last one.
GROUP:
Disregard the rep scheme, as with all max effort days. We’re a bit out of order at the Champions Club, and for yesterday’s max effort deadlift at the 6:30 session we finished with a set of 60. I let the reigns off and let them find a 1 rep, looked pretty good but a little sloppy, then we brought it back down to emphasize what needed to be emphasized. When working on technique, I really think in the case of these clean and jerks the sets should not be of less than like 10-15 reps until maybe the very end if they’re getting about 75% of them looking good. The veterans will do their thing.
If you’re really not ready for the group to do max effort clean and jerk, pick the clean or split jerk and to a triplet with the essentials of the other half of the movement in it. For example, AMRAP in 15 minutes of 10 cleans, 20 lunges, 30-sec. handstand hold.
WARMUP:
Squat — clean prep
Lunge — split jerk prep
Box jump — squat except leaving the ground (like a clean)
Hollow hold — overhead prep
Handstand — more overhead prep
KEY MATCHUP: your unlawfully wedded marriage to the rep schemes that come up here vs. the right thing to do
SCALING THIS WELL WILL CAUSE ME TO: have sweet Mrs. Pip swear at me for the first time in her 9-year CrossFit career but be appreciative afterwards
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 5 as an athlete (5 reps heavy is tough) and 9 as a coach — teaching skill is always tougher for me than teaching strength.
GENERAL EMASCULATING LEVEL (1=WHO DOES RING HSPU ANYWAY?, 10=THIS TEENAGE GIRL IS DEADLIFTING MORE THAN ME): 5.

Globo Scale... If you have bumpers and a place to drop this, do it as Rxed. If not, work up to heavy singles that you can control on the way down. Otherwise it is OK to split the movements (Do cleans/power cleans/hang clean variation 5-5-3-3-3-1-1-1, then do push jerks or push presses same set schema in a rack with the spotter pins high up).
Also, if you are working out in a Globo or garage, now is the time to reach out to your local box about the Open. Some of the Open workouts will sadly not be doable in most globo gyms, and will be difficult to do in a garage gym. Plus it is a great way to connect (or reconnect) with the local CrossFit community. Yes, you can film your workouts for submission, but it is easier for most of us to just go to the local affiliate and do the workouts there.
