I programmed Bar-Facing Burpees as normal ones are a little more random regarding jump height.

Target for next time is obviously over 200 reps.

Commented on: CrossFit Kids Research Brief: Intensity and Cognition

I spend so much of my time cautioning kids and families about the negative of drugs, JUULing, excess screen time on the growing brain. It’s nice to focus on positive influences. It does not surprise me that HIIT improves cognitive function for kids.


This data is helpful in salvaging physical activity in schools. It maybe hard to program 60 minutes of the old school gym class. But a 10 minute HIIT, in the classroom, can benefit the short term and long term physical and cognitive growth of kids. And at home, a HIIT workout after school can help with homework.


Now let’s apply this information to the mess. We have an epidemic of ADHD and medications. Ritalin, Focalin, Concerta, Adderall, Vyvanse. Do all these kids really need these meds? What would happen if every kid who was out of focus, not performing to their academic potential, forgetting their homework at home...was taken off sugar, did a HIIT workout program, and had limits on their screen time? I’m not saying that every single child is on meds inappropriately, but I know that there are a strong number of kids that will avoid meds or come off meds with a lifestyle program focused on HIITs and sugar restriction.

TODAY: 103 + 103 + 92 = 298

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT:

When you look at Fight Gone Bad the only thing you see that muscle fatigue will cause you to stop is push press. When your arms go, they go; everything else makes you feel like a pansy when you stop. On this one, your grip strength on hang cleans can go, and there’s only so fast you can go on med ball sit-ups. Plus, I mean, when do we ever do med ball sit-ups? So for that reason FGB gets a slight nod over this. Still brutal if you want to make it.


I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I could go 1-minute straight on the bar for the first round if I wanted


GROUP VERSION: the equipment here makes it tricky — especially needing the med ball and bar twice. I might go regular sit-ups instead of med ball. The bars can get tricky with deadlifts being heavy and hpc being medium. Kb swings might be a good sub for the hang power cleans.


I’M ONLY HERE ONCE A WEEK AND THIS IS THE DAY VERSION: as is.


INJURY VERSION:

Upper-body injury — 20 one-arm kb swing, 40 squats, run 400 meters. amrap in 20 minutes

Middle-body injury — same as upper body except try push-ups instead of kb swings

Lower-body injury — 10 push-ups, 10 ring rows, 20 sit-ups. Amrap in 20 minutes


WARMUP:

Go through the movements, same as Filthy Fifty


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 9

August 31st, 2019 at 1:33 pm

For me, this one feels just as tough as FGB, but harder to get the same nominal score. But you're right, med ball situps allow a bit of rest in there.

INTENDED STIMULUS

If CrossFit has changed your life for the better, then it is time to train for something bigger than yourself. It is time to spread the love! According to the World Health Organization: "Childhood obesity is one of the most serious public health challenges of the 21st century. The problem is global and is steadily affecting many low- and middle-income countries, particularly in urban settings. The prevalence has increased at an alarming rate. Globally, in 2016 the number of overweight children under the age of five, is estimated to be over 41 million. Almost half of all overweight children under 5 lived in Asia and one quarter lived in Africa."

Today we train to change that in two ways. First way: model the behaviors your children should follow. Get to the gym, push hard, have fun, and reward yourself with a high five and some smiles. Second way: donate to the charity of your choice. If you have no idea then go to crossfit.com and donate there.

This workout is awesome. It is based on Fight Gone Bad, and the stimulus we are looking for is pretty much the same. "We designed this workout so that we move at one activity for one minute. And just at the point when the localized muscular endurance would be a significant factor, we cut and shift gears into a different movement" (Glassman). Your task is to commit to working for the whole minute, the only rest you get is the transition to the next station. Your scaling should try to match this objective. Pick loads that will not stop you. We want you on that line where your body wants to stop, but your mind knows you can keep going. That is it, there is nowhere to hide here! Don't hide!

Globo scale: sub 20/15lb dumbbell thrusters for wallballs, and sub 50/35lb dumbbells for the cleans and deadlifts if without a barbell today. For the medball situp, see if the Globo or hotel gym has a medball for this. If not, just do standard situps.
