As rx’d, 16:36.


A little beat up from yesterday, so did not push this too hard. Goal was to go unbroken on the OHS, so I took a bit of time to get centered before picking up the barbell. This is about 4 minutes slower than my best Nancy (same WOD but 15 OHS @ 95#), but for that, I do the OHS in the driveway, which cuts a lot of transition time. Also, today the grass was wet, so I toweled off my shoes each time un re-entering the gym. Given all that, I’m pretty pleased with the time. Pretty wiped out afterward.

Commented on: Google Is Burying Alternative Health Sites to Protect People From "Dangerous" Medical Advice

In this context it is interesting to note Google employee and stockholder Michael McConnell, and his role promoting Coca-Cola and ACSM's Exercise is Medicine program, which of course is being implemented through unreliable and ineffective wearable devices, such as the ones Google sells.


A note for sleuths: if you see the name Verily Life Sciences mentioned in the conflicts of interest section of a paper, that's a Google subsidiary (and they really should have declared it as such).

5 x 10 OHS @ 115# 11:40

DL 5 x 135/185/225/275, 4 x 315

5 min stretch

Run 400m (Assault AirRunner)

10 Overhead Squats @ 75Lb

Time: 16:30

Notes:

First time Overhead squatting, felt something weird on shoulders. Need work on Snatch Balance. Dropped the bar once on 2nd round due to getting unbalanced.

Also need to work on Pose Running (did this in converse lol)

Just getting into the CrossFit scene but wanting to do it alone w/o a gym (expensive).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Stay Hard.

First three sets OH squats unbroken. On 4th set, I dropped the bar standing up from the bottom of the 8th rep then completed another 3 reps. For the 5th set, I broke it into 6+4 reps.

TODAY - 75-lb OHS, 18:47


181216 - 70-lb OHS, 19:12


So today was HEAVIER and FASTER. But other key differences must be noted: Dec would have been indoors for the OHS, whereas today was outside on the lawn – soft and pleasant but unstable footing. Dec would have been a lot colder, making my runs slower. Finally, when lifting indoors and running outdoors, I run a different path; and also I have to cross about 150’ through the basement from the gym to the doorway.

I like this heavier twist on the classic benchmark workout Nancy. I anticipate that faster times will be under 12:00-13:00 or so and I will look to have all my athletes finish in under the 17:00-18:00 range. Here are some scaling thoughts:

Run: I will have nearly all of my athletes perform the run as prescribed. I will reduce the distance (and/or rounds) or modify the movement to another monostructural exercise, on an individual basis, if needed. A general guideline, that I will use, will be to have no run last longer than 2:30.


Overhead Squats: Sorry, you aren’t getting out of this movement today. I believe the intent is to use a load that challenges, but allows, the athlete to complete 10 reps unbroken, on each round. I will have athletes utilize a load that accomplishes this goal. For today, I will even have athletes use a PVC pipe and focus on slow reps performed as best as possible.

Champions Club Scaling Notes:


RANT:

Just a Workout. Not much you can do to go faster than your body will let you.


I SHOULD TRY THIS AS RX'D IF: I can do 2 rounds unbroken on squats AND keep the 400s under 2 minutes


GROUP SCALE: as is, but instead of doing more reps if the weight is lighter, just go really really slow on the reps. In fact, I'd even undershoot the weight on purpose to be able to do like a 7-count on the way up and down.


INJURY VERSION:

Upper-body injury - I'd do the classic 4 rounds, run 400, 50 squats WOD

Middle-body injury - same, just bike if needed, or 1:30 plank hold per round instead of squat

Lower-body injury - AMRAP in 20 minutes of: 15 kipping knees to elbows, 3 slow descents from handstand


WARMUP

Running jump rope - running prep

Squat - obviously

Handstand - overhead prep

Rope climb - been a minute

Hollow rock - midline prep - practice not overextending on run or OHS


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7

Globo scale: if you have a bar and bumper plates and a treadmill or place to rub do as rxed. Run subs are 500m row or 22 calorie assault bike. If your gym bans overhead squats do 10 front squats 185/135lbs or 10 225/155 lb back squats, and a 30 second plank per round. If without a barbell today do 6 left handed and 6 right handed single dumbbell overhead squats, 50/35lb dumbbell, or 10 front squats with 2 dumbbells of the same weight with the 30 second plank added per round. You can also do the planks after the wod to keep the intensity high.

INTENDED STIMULUS


This workout is such a good combo of movements! It is a heavier variation of the classic benchmark Nancy. We have five fewer reps but more weight on the bar. Overall the work-load is very similar for both. This similarity tells us the duration and the stimulus should be very close. It is meant to be a faster workout in the 10-13 minutes range. The weight for the overhead squats should be heavier than what you usually would use for this movement. However, it should still be a weight you can do unbroken all rounds. In this workout, there should be no breaks. Run from the bar to the bar. Pick a weight that allows you to do that, and it will feel just right. It will feel awesome. Athletes that don't have the mobility to perform overhead squats can change to front squats or back squats, and add 10 minutes of overhead squat movement and range of motion practice. Commit to no breaks; you can do it!



OPTION 1

5 rounds for time of:


400-m run

10 overhead squats


♀ 80 lb. ♂‚ 115 lb.


OPTION 2

5 rounds for time of:


400-m run

10 overhead squats


♀ 55 lb. ♂‚ 75 lb.


OPTION 3

5 rounds for time of:


400-m run

10 overhead squats


♀ 45 lb. ♂‚ 65 lb.


NOTE FOR ATHLETES WITH MOBILITY ISSUES

.

Usually, athletes with mobility issues have a very fixed mindset. Lack of flexibility becomes an excuse. Don't let this happen to you. Flexibility and mobility are earned, just like strength. Some people will have more of a predisposition than others, just like strength. But most people can get to "normal" ranges of motion with work. If you lack mobility for overhead squats, start by making your air squat amazing and go from there. Start today!
