As rx’d, 19:50.
Total L-sit time was :49/:47/:46. Broke those into 4-5 chunks of generally 10-15 seconds. Snatches felt heavy, but seemed to improve in later rounds — or at least didn’t get worse! Did a set of 6 or 7 to start, and then smaller sets of 3-5.

That’s the most reps of hang power snatches at 75 lb. I’ve ever completed, so even though I was moving slowly by round 3 I still stayed with that weight to practice keeping my form while fatigued.

It shouldn't be that patients have to machete through the jungle of dietary advice on their own. We desperately need to come to a data-supported consensus that the medical establishent promotes. People are really confused about what they should eat.

Katina,
I sympathize with your comment, but anyone waiting on an accurate "data-supported consensus" is probably going to be waiting forever. The consensus is wrong and has always been wrong, and there are no signs of this changing.
The political obstacles are even greater than the scientific obstacles. The interests that control public health and dietary policy in this country would have to lose control before the consensus could even approach the truth about food. And regulatory capture is just one reason that "consensus" is not a reliable indicator of accuracy, or properly a constituent element of science.
In lieu of a miracle of consensus, we can only take care of the micro: ourselves, our families, our boxes, and our communities generally. This is why it is a grave error to support the "Exercise is Medicine" and "Food is Medicine" campaigns. They are totalitarianism wrapped in the guise of public health. Institutionalized healthcare will not get exercise or diet right, but they certainly will curtail our freedoms. An effort like CrossFit can only succeed precisely because it remains outside the control of healthcare. It would not last a day inside it.

This is an interesting combo. I’m really curious how the L-sits affect the snatches and squats. I will strive for consistent 7-rep sets on the snatches (with short rest between sets), speed on the squats, and high-quality on the L-sits. Here are some thoughts on scaling:
Hang Power Snatch: I consider the hang power snatch load to be light to moderate and the volume to be relatively high, at that load. I will not expect most athletes to do the first round unbroken. For today, I’m going to have my experienced athletes reduce the reps per round and use a slightly heavier load than usual instead of reducing to a light load and completing the prescribed number of reps. For example, if I have an athlete that can handle 115lbs/75lbs, but 21 reps per round is too high, I will have them reduce the reps per round to 10-15 at the 115/75 today. For newer athletes, I will have them utilize a light load along with reducing the reps per round. This athlete will focus on the mechanics of the movement and not prioritize the speed.
Squats: I will have nearly all of my athletes perform this movement as written while ensuring full range of motion at the bottom AND top of each rep. For athletes where the overall volume is too high, I will reduce the reps per round based on their capacity. There may be a very rare occasion where I will have an athlete squat to target that allows them to maintain sound mechanics.
L-Sit: The overall duration of L-sits will be pretty high. Most will be doing over 3:00 of total L-sits, if they are actually performing legit air squats. To encourage some longer holds, I will have athletes attempt to accumulate their L-sit hold times in no more than 5-6 attempts each round or limit the duration per round to 0:45-1:00 based on the capacity of the athlete. I will modify the movement to an L-sit variation that allows the athlete to hold for at least 0:15 on their initial attempt. The L-sit modifications will be a tuck L-sit or an L-sit with only one leg extended.

1 set of: 10-20 seconds tuck hold on boxes or parallettes
1 set of: 5 seconds L-sit (or attempt)
Power snatch
Perform 5 reps each step with an empty barbell:
- Dip and drive to shrug
- Dip and drive to high elbows
- Hang muscle snatch
- Power snatch "lands" with bar overhead
- Hang power snatch
Build-up
Build up to working weight by performing 3 sets of 5 air squats and 3 hang power snatches.
> Increase in load each set, and perform each set every 2 minutes.

INTENDED STIMULUS
This one is rough, especially if you do it right. The snatches are power and from the hang, so short range of motion. They are/should be slightly heavier than your usual metcon weight. And we have twentyone of them. That screams high power output. On the squats, you should go fast. Choose a number that is big that you can speed up unbroken for the three rounds. You can do this, and you should. Remind yourself you will have breaks in the L-Sits, so there is no reason to slow squats. That also screams high power output. It all implies that when you get to the L-sit, heart rate will be high, legs will burn a little, and the lungs will be going. And you know how those L-Sit/Tuck holds get: nasty. Break them as needed but be smart and keep the rest periods short. Today is an excellent opportunity to play with short sets and short breaks. Scale the L-sits to a tuck hold, or a tuck/L-sit combination, but let the number of squats determine the time. Don't go for fifty squats if they are going to take you more than 45 seconds. A solid mantra today is to track all rest periods. Keep them short! This one is rough, but also productive and fun AF. ENJOY!

Globo scale: if without bumpers you can either scale the weight to allow control or do the dumbbell sub. Those without a barbell today or subbing do 32 alternating dumbbell hang power snatches, 50/35lb dumbbell. For L sirs, you can do then from rings, 2 boxes, paralletes, a chair, 2 benches, or hanging from a pullup bar or Rings.

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT:
Individually I enjoy these “gimmick” workouts the most. The word “gimmick” can sometimes carry a negative connotation, but I just see it as meaning something that can work but you don’t want to build around. The meats and vegetables of the CrossFit prescription are… well… meats and vegetables. But besides that it’s simple couplets and triplets with simple rep schemes. Having a varied exercise duration adds a lot of gaming to this, in my opinion, and is a cool twist to what could have easily been a flat 1:00 L-sit. The only question is being able to scale this to a group. If you can, then go for it! or if you want to make the squats a technique emphasis of the day, then modify the snatch weight/number so they become the L-sit dependent.
I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I am capable of doing 50 squats as fast as I can with passable technique
GROUP VERSION: as is for those who can figure out the time thing, 1:00 on L-sits for everyone else. Reps should stay the same unless working with really old people.
INJURY VERSION:
This workout has 4 parts: jump, overhead press(ish), squat, static hold. Pick two movements you can do that fall into those 4 categories and do an AMRAP in 20. Higher reps and less rounds would be better.
WARMUP:
Box jump — snatch prep
Handstand — overhead prep
Squat — obvs
Jump rope — always
Pull-up — spend some time hanging
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 7
