As rx'd, 10 rounds.


Did the L pull-ups strict, but had to lower my legs between most reps. Did most sets unbroken. Broke ring dips mostly 6-4, 5-3-2 in later rounds. Pistols slow and steady. Aidan (7 y.o.) did this with me for the first 10 minutes, with assisted (lightest band) pull-ups, burpees, and air squats, and got 7 rounds in 10 minutes. He could have done the first round or two of pullups without a band, but then he would have burned out. We went with a light band to keep him fresh and moving well. We did burpees so I wouldn't have to watch his push-up form. He tried some pistols but doesn't quite have the balance (and maybe the strength) yet to do these.

To all the program haters... knock it off. Programming the focus on basics has vastly improved the fitness of all those adhering to mainsite. Case in point; nailed my 1st bar muscle up today. Hit a single 3 times, then strung together 5 in a row. Couldn't have been happier being fitter near 40 than I was as a 22 year old marine infantryman.

Poor post, with all respect friends, but post a post on the Crossfit page for everyone referring to a study in mice, where they declare that excess fructose would produce fatty liver seems irresponsible, the message would be: Do not eat Fruits in excess? At some point do they refer to the level of activity to which these mice are subjected? What do you mean by an excess of fructose? Let's be responsible, let's give correct messages based on concrete evidence.

Filipe. I think you should researched on the link between stevia and the production of insulin. Even if it contains 0 calories, your brain and taste buds believe it is sugar and your body reacts to it the same way : insulin.

Let me start with the excuses:

1) I've been sick for a week, so no WO since Wednesday.

2) No rings in my gym

3, 4, 5) I can't do a pistol to save my life!


Said this, I was able to complete 6 full + Pull ups and dips.

I did dips on the parallel bars as low and strict as possible.

And I subbed the pistols for Single leg squat to box (sitting on the way down, I know, kill me now!)


Felt great though!

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT:

“Chris you know what I think about symmetry”- Mama V, 10-year member at my gym and hippie lady. The only real note I have for this one is that we always strive for symmetry with our strength and range of motion. But in real life, there will always be imbalances (hence right-handed people vs. left handed people). One leg might do three more lunges than the other. We’ll live.


I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I can do one round unbroken for each movement


ORGANIC SCALES:

Strength — slow down the movements — especially dips

Stamina — double reps

Endurance — add kipping to dips and l-pull-ups and use rolling pistols is regular one is not immaculate

Flexibility — chest-to-bar, really low on dip/pistol, and hang out at end ranges


NEUROLOGICAL SCALES:

Coordination — midline emphasis on first two movements — don’t let the spine budge

Accuracy — the L-position on the pull-up can sometimes look like a lower-case “j,” so be picky on that

Agility — alternate pistols as fluidly as possible

Balance — if subs need to be made for pistols/dips, stay on one leg/rings if at all possible


GROUP VERSION: I like to sub ring push-ups for ring dips over regular bar dips. But having two things that take up pull-up bar space is a tough one. Stations could help with this. Maybe something like 1:00 at each station for 7 rounds.


WARMUP:

Scale — pretty good prep for the pistol, I’d say

Handstand — overhead prep

Ring hold — prep for ring folks, exposure to the rings for those who won’t use them in the workout

[insert thing you suck at]

Jump rope - always

Intended Stimulus

.

This is Cindy's nerdier, more sophisticated, evil cousin. This is a high-skill, high-stamina piece. Now, even though you will be working at higher skills, let's try to approach it as we would approach Cindy. This means, we want to be moving continuously. We want to position ourselves so that we can actually push the pace in the second half of the workout. Today is a good workout to learn something very valuable: we can have both high skill and intensity. We might need to scale the number of reps or the movements to get both, and that is fine, that is what scaling is for. Choose your modifications so that you match the number of rounds (not reps) you scored in the recent regular Cindy. That will guarantee we are moving at good pace and still getting the sophistication of the evil cousin. Let's get fancy today!🔷💍💎



Option 1

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:

3 strict L pull-ups

6 ring dips

9 single-leg squats



Option 2

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:

5 strict banded L pull-ups

10 toenail dips

15 toenail single leg squats

This looks a lot like Cindy, but the more difficult movements will require a bit more strength and skill demand. I think that 10+ rounds is achievable, with a good goal for many being to complete 6+ rounds. Here are some thoughts on scaling this workout:


Strict L Pull-ups: The intended volume of reps accumulated for this movement is relatively high. Many of my athletes will need to modify this movement in order to maintain consistency and its strict nature. As a general guideline, if I have an athlete that does not have the capacity to complete 7-10 reps consecutively, I will most likely reduce the reps. Beyond reducing the reps, I may have these athletes modify the movement to a tuck L pull-up or an L pull-up with one leg tucked and the other leg extended. For athletes that cannot perform an L pull-up, they will modify the movement to either a band-assisted L pull-up or a combination of band-assisted strict pull-ups with a 10-second L-hang variation after completion of the set. Further scaling will be done on an individual basis.


Ring Dip: Many of my athletes will need to modify this movement or reduce reps to keep the quality high and the range of motion legit. I will reduce reps for athletes that can perform dips but the volume is too demanding. For athletes that cannot perform dips, I will provide two main movement modifications for the day: option 1 will be a band-assisted dip variation, and option 2 will be to perform ring dips with legs straight and feet on the floor in front of the body. Easier modifications, such as a jumping dip or a box dip, as well as reducing reps, will be used on an individual basis.


Single-leg Squat: Like the other movements, I expect a relatively high volume of reps to accumulate. Due to the volume and the demands of this movement, many of my athletes will need to scale. For athletes that can perform single-leg squats, but the volume is too demanding, I will reduce reps and/or perform the single-leg squats to a low target. For athletes that cannot perform full range of motion single-leg squats, I will modify the movement to some sort of single-leg movement, per the athlete’s capacity. This could be simply elevating the heel or squatting to a target, while keeping the hips above parallel to the knee. Other options could be to perform single-leg squats on top of a box and potentially tapping the heel or toes to the floor on the descent. For those that cannot maintain balance on the working leg, a bulgarian split squat or a reverse lunge could be great options.
