Tabata 64. All 8s.

Not quite L sits - all 10s from box. First attempt was 3 seconds from floor but I can't bend my legs so it felt like a cop out to continue.

Commented on: The diet-heart hypothesis, part 2 — Dietary Fat and Cardiovascular Disease

The exchange between Olson and McGovern points to the core public health tragedy at the root of these guidelines. McGovern, by openly requesting recommendations be given based on incomplete evidence, implicitly argues the harms of providing no recommendation at all outweigh the risks of providing an incorrect recommendation. In hindsight, this looks to have been a miscalculation.

Indeed, Clarke. I would have argued that government policy, involving implicit threats of force, would require a higher bar for evidence than academia, not lower.

Hey- been following for a bit off and on, I've noticed the uptick in L-Sits, handstands, and bodyweight holds. Is this a new focus for crossfit? I know that bodyweight has always been important, but I feel like it is being focused on much more now.

Brian Anderson

My take is they are bringing back a lot of skills people are bad at, which are very fundamental to so many other movements. Lots of core/gymnasty movements, lots of rowing, deadlifts, and squats. Many people have been doing CF for years, myself included, but don’t have a decent L-sit. You usually don’t have to remind people to lift but this is forcing them to shore up their weaknesses and rebuild their base.

Wow, this is an interesting challenge! I’m curious to see how difficult it will be to hang onto the bar for the entire 4:00 time period. For those that are not familiar with the Tabata protocol, it is typically 8 rounds consisting of 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest, unless designated otherwise. However, with the static holds added in, there really is no “rest” today. This workout is relatively easy to scale. I’ll simply modify the the loading for my athletes to allow for at least half the time duration to be completed without putting the bar down. I’ll scale rounds on an individual basis, if I’m concerned about the potential for excessive volume for an athlete.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


TABATA, YOU SAY? Yes. Tabata means 20-sec. of work immediately followed by 10-sec. of rest. Usually when referenced it means go for 8 cycles, lasting a total of 3:50 (4:00 if you include the last rest period.)


RANT:

If my memory serves me right, there was a workout about 2 years back that was tabata jumping squats with a 45-lb. bar, and you had to hold it at the bottom during the rest. It looked very easy on paper. It was absolutely miserable. This one will be even worse if you scale the weight appropriately. A good weight would be something that 1) makes your spine look straight when you hold it overhead and 2) keeps you constantly moving during the 20 seconds (not resting in the front rack). Also, if you’re the honorable type, your workout is not done until you completed the final 10-sec “rest” period in the static hold as well.


I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I can read the grammatically incorrect paragraph above and think, “yeah, that’s me.”


ORGANIC SCALES:

Strength — honestly, as is. Especially with the L-sit

Stamina — definitely as is, just scale well and go for actual max sets on L-sit

Endurance — you ever done Tabata? You’ll be breathing heavy

Flexibility — 4 checks out of 4


NEUROLOGICAL SCALES:

Coordination — make that 5 checks; static holds can give us a lot of feedback on very important transition positions. Try to feel past the burn and get a sense of where your arches and spine are.

Accuracy — even splits on thrusters and L-sit attempts

Agility — quick transitions at bottom of squat and top of thruster

Balance — other than shoes off, this gets it too. L-sits on rings after this would be suicide


GROUP VERSION: not sure yet. We’ve been having big crowds, kinda mixed in experience too. For a well-seasoned crowd this would be good as listed. I might try and mix this with another workout we’re behind and to it partner-style: one partner holds bottom on front squat while the other works, or one partner holds overhead position while other works.


WARMUP:

Squat — obviously

Hollow hold — overhead prep

Kb swing — core to extremity

Jump rope — always

Hip extension — stretch out pike position for L-sit


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 6.

INTENDED STIMULUS

.

This is going to be a very long four minutes. It will be hard, and it will burn, but it will make you better. If you have done a tabata of air squats, you know the kind of burn and muscle fatigue you will encounter. If you consider that here, instead of resting we are holding, you will get a better picture of what we are after. The objective is to never put that bar down. The load is secondary to that. Focus on the holds today, not so much in the number of reps, they are a trap. Make sure you are holding a gorgeous squat, and a sublime overhead position. If you focus on this, your thrusters will be better, and hence more efficient. When deciding on a weight imagine you were doing three minutes of unbroken thrusters. Don't be scared, you can do three minutes but maybe not at 65lbs.

On the L-sits use the same scaling option and standard you used for 190615. If you did not do this workout, modify the movement to an L-sit variation you own, and to something you can attach a standard to. For example do this on a pair of low boxes with a slight bend in the knee. And for your standard, have a pair of plates right under your feet so that if you touch them you have to break your set. In any case try to preserve the flat hand position, as if you were doing them from the floor.



OPTION 1

Tabata thruster

On odd-numbered rest intervals, hold at the bottom of the squat. On even-numbered rest intervals, hold with the load overhead.

♀ 35 lb. ♂‚ 45 lb.

then



3 max-duration L-sits with bent knee slightly from the boxes.



OPTION 2

Tabata thruster

On odd-numbered rest intervals, hold at the bottom of the squat. On even-numbered rest intervals, hold with the load overhead.

♀ 25 lb. ♂‚ 35 lb.*



*If your gym does not have 15 lb bars, make sure to give them the memo.

then



3 max-duration tuck hold from the boxes.
