Apparently my post from two days ago didn't go through so this is my best recollection - scaled to 2 rds. of only Oly bar, sub hang power snatches, thrusters to just below parallel, sub .62 mile bike in just under 8 mins.

Rx’d the weight and reps. My three rows were 4:00, 4:30, 4:45. Broke my snatches into sets of 5 in round/“s 2&3. Did thrusters in a 10+5 scheme.
I’m guessing my time was somewhere in the low 20s. 23 mins or so.

As rx’d, 22:27.
Ouch, this beat me up and stole my lunch money (as Spealler would say). Interesting contrast of trying to go fast (but not too fast) on the barbell, and then slower (but not too slow) on the rower. Power snatches 10-5 and then 5’s. Thrusters 10-5 the whole way. Felt like I was redlining a bit after thrusters in rounds 2 and 3. Rows were pace of 1:56, 2:00, 1:56. Tried to sell out at the end, but it hurt so bad.

Globo scale: As rxed. If in a gym without bumpers it is OK to do hang power snatches here. Sub for row is an 800m run (outside, track, or treadmill with slight incline)
If subbing dumbbells do 2x40/25lb dbs for thrusters, 15 reps,and 50/35lb db single arm snatches, 20 reps.

This one looks spicy. I will advise my athletes to pace the row slightly, on rounds 1 and 2, to allow for quicker efforts on the second and third rounds of snatches and thrusters. Finishing with a 1,000 meter row is a devastating “sprint” to the finish!
Power Snatch: I consider the prescribed weight to be light. I will utilize loads with my athletes that will potentially allow the first round to be completed unbroken and the subsequent rounds to be completed with minimal rest breaks. I believe this is the second time performing snatches this year. I will spend a fair amount of time practicing the skill of this movement before starting the workout.
Due to the snatch grip, some athletes may have difficulty maintaining a mechanically sound position on the initial pull from the floor. In this situation, performing a hang power snatch is an acceptable alternative.
Thruster: As with the power snatch, I will utilize loads with my athletes that allow this movement to be performed with minimal rest breaks.
Newer athletes may benefit from reducing reps on both the snatch and the thruster, along with the load, and keep the primary focus on mechanics.
Rowing: I will have most of my athletes complete the entire distance, on each row effort. In some cases, I will use time guidelines to assess when reducing distance may be beneficial. For example, if I have an athlete that is new or is likely to row the initial 1,000 meters in over 5:00, I will consider reducing the distance of each row effort or have them row for a set duration on each effort.

Everyone isn't a top 10 CrossFit games qualifier. There are many people that are deconditioned, therefore these videos are helpful. I agree with the old school setting needing to be changed, but I think showing movements that a deconditioned individual can do is great! I have an Aunt that just asked me what type of exercises can she do at home? Well, I am going to direct her to this page.

There are a lot of people who are intimidated to just walk into a CrossFit gym. This is a way to meet people where they are, get them moving and start the conversation. If I think about my parents yeah I would love them to go to an affiliate, but I would also be really stoked if they just started doing squats to the couch and seeing the benefits of moving. The people who need what we offer the most are often the most reluctant to seek it out.

Intended Stimulus
.
This is what we would call a MetCon. This workout will train all your energy systems, the front and the back of your body, the pulling and the pushing muscles, and of course, your cardiovascular capacity. This is a beast. There are many ways to game this workout, choose none. Opt to keep moving at a solid sustainable pace, aiming to speed up at the end. On the barbell choose a weight that will allow you to complete the sets of 15 with at most two 10 second breaks. On the rower, decrease the distance to something you can complete in less than 4:30 without having to destroy your soul. Athletes new to snatches or refining their technique can stay with high hang power snatches and concentrate on a very vertical hip extension and a solid overhead receiving position. Athletes that have trouble finding a solid front rack position can do double KB thrusters. These athletes should spend some time working on lat and wrist flexibility before or after the workout. Let's do some CrossFit!
Option 1
3 rounds for time of:
15 power snatches
15 thrusters
750-m row
Men: 75 lb.
Women: 55 lb.
Option 2
3 rounds for time of:
12 high hang power snatches
12 thrusters
750-m row
Men: 45 lb.
Women: 35 lb.

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT: This fits into that Just A Workout category where it’s not a sprint and also not for quality. Just don’t die.
ORGANIC SCALES:
Strength — up the weight on thrusters, lower the reps, lower the row distance, maybe add rounds
Stamina — 1 round of everything, weight manageable to go unbroken
Endurance — as is, scaling weights so unbroken on bar. Maybe decrease row meters for intensity
Flexibility — slower, lighter weight, full ROM
NEUROLOGICAL SCALES:
Coordination — really light weight on barbell, go to 21-30 reps per round, maybe decrease row
Accuracy — pace the row out so it’s even all 3 rounds
Agility — tiny let go of bar during transition of snatch and top of thruster to make sure timing is right
Balance — hang out at major poses for each bar movement
GROUP VERSION: run for row, dumbbells might help the wrists
WARMUP:
Jump rope — always and prep for running
Handstand — overhead prep
Kb swing — core to extremity
Squat — obvs
Hollow hold — overhead prep
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 7. This should prove as difficult as trying to score on Texas Tech. Or Virginia for that matter.

Champions Club Scaling Notes:
RANT: So I started this thing because as long as I've been following the main site, both for myself and for my affiliate, I've understood that scaling a workout is not just saying, "Oh let's use 45 lbs. instead of 65 lbs and drop the row to 500m." Scaling a workout is making it fit your purpose for the day. We have professional athletes, college athletes, middle school kids, parents, and old people following the main site program. The exact thing I want them to get out of a given workout can vary from session to session or athlete to athlete. As I've been doing these posts here on the comments I've been trying to find the best way to formalize what goes on in my scattered and concussed brain. I think I have a pretty good way to look at it. And it's based on the 10 General Physical Skills recognized by Dynamax and made popular by CrossFit.
ORGANIC SCALE: This section means you are programming for a long term development of Strength, Flexibility, Cardio/Respiratory Endurance, or Stamina. This is called training. We won't see the benefit today.
NEUROLOGICAL SCALE: This section means you are trying to build a connection between your brain and whatever parts of your body are responsible for Coordination, Accuracy, Agility, and Balance. This is called practice. The benefits of practice can be seen anywhere from next rep to next year. Depends on how athletic you are.
GROUP SCALE: I really think following the main site forces coaches and owners to address their weaknesses and improve their imagination. What happens when your members don't want to do L-sits again? What happens when you have 1 GHD machine and Michael is programmed. This forces you to see past the "code" of the movement's specific name and realize that front squats, box jumps, kb swings, and wallballs are all really the same thing. This section takes the group into account.
WARMUP: This section is for ways I think of 1) using actual movements to prep for the workout instead of weird dynamic warmup middle school track drills and 2) practice things you suck at.
General Emasculating Level/General Fear Level are all in good fun.

Who does GHDs for Michael?!? (Okay, I have done this on occasion...) But Rx'd is regular sit-ups, right?

I think I remember a video of Dave Castro doing GHDs for Michael. Or maybe that was Annie.
