First time snatching in 4 years, went light to drill form and because I couldn't drop the bar.

Got up up 115. Actually did sets of 5, logic being I wanted more sub-maximal work to learn the technique and practice ROM. There's no real "drop in" (like pull, extension, drop under, squat) at this point, I just look like an angry ape hoisting the weight above my head.

Sorry for the -very- late reply. I am making the assumption that this is a squat snatch. Globo scale: If you have bumpers and a bar go ahead and do this as rxed. If you only have regular plates, you can either do sets across of heavy controllable single or select the dumbbell squat snatch option below. If you only have dumbbells today work up to a heavy dumbbell squat snatch with good form on each side.


Slips per usual.

Commented on: What Is CrossFit? And Is It Right for You? Here's What You Need to Know

So, CrossFit HQ Legal, this article starts off exuding the benefits of CrossFit, then, finishes up with citing a study where 20% of CrossFitters get injured. I'm kind of surprised the article is a link on the CrossFit webpage! The study reference is "Injury Rate and Patterns Among CrossFit Athletes"

by Benjamin M. Weisenthal, BA, Christopher A. Beck, MA, PhD, Michael D. Maloney, MD, Kenneth E. DeHaven, MD, Brian D. Giordano, MD (all of University of Rochester) first Published April 25, 2014 in the Orthopeadic Journal of Sports Medicine, Volume: 2 issue: 4. After all the litigation in the past, this is still happening. Any action planned or ongoing here?

Michael, see the below posts for CrossFit's (ongoing) response to the referenced OJSM article:


https://www.crossfit.com/battles/crossfit-requests-retraction-of-erroneous-injury-paper


https://www.crossfit.com/battles/montreal-gazettes-jill-barker-misrepresents-crossfit-injuries-and-ignores-fake-injury-lawsuit


It is indeed unfortunate that the OJSM piece, which is "beset with scientific error, cites retracted studies that contained fabricated data and inaccurately cites other studies" related to CrossFit, continues to pollute otherwise factual media representations of CrossFit, such as this story.

OJSM has published at least two faulty papers that alleged to find injury rates in CrossFit. Michael refers to one, Olivia to another.


The article Michael cited comes from 2014: "Injury Rate and Patterns Among CrossFit Athletes." You can view it here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2325967114531177


This article, by Weistenthal, Giordano, et al, contained numerous errors. Most egregiously, it mistakenly presented an injury percentage as if it were an "injury rate." A percentage alone does not constitute a rate. A rate must have a time component. When the authors finally did estimate a rate, after prodding, they found a rate of 2.4 injuries per 1000 hours of participation. While this finding was tentative, the authors did note that it was "less than or relatively equivalent, depending upon the source, to running or triathlon training, which are two commonly pursued recreational activities. Finally, it is significantly less than what is observed in contact or team sports." Source: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2325967114543261


More details here:

https://keepfitnesslegal.crossfit.com/2014/08/15/giordano-calculates-a-crossfit-injury-rate/


As for the other, 2019 article that Olivia cited, it is to be found here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6505252/

The woman in the at home video is my mother. She just began radiation therapy after having a cancerous growth removed from her breast. The CrossFitters at her affiliate have been imperative to her recovery and success in this difficult time. She has a community of people concerned with her life: constant texts, rides to therapy, encouragement. Greg had it right when he said, “The fun is in the community.” And maybe fun doesn’t always have to carry a celebratory connotation. Perhaps a community caring for someone in their time of need and providing a smile is the good stuff.

Commented on: What Is CrossFit? And Is It Right for You? Here's What You Need to Know

As a frequenter of this site and my local box, the 20% injury rate attributed to CF is absurd. I've been doing this for almost 7 years, and except for a couple of bad box jumps I have never been injured, even when working out in a globo w/o coaching. I would not have even labeled them as injuries, since they did not keep me from following mainsite WOD's. PS, no one else in my box has gotten injured in class either.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

L-sit might be a good one to practice in tandem with the snatch - that position helps with stability and strength in the bottom of the squat. As usual, go with more reps and more sets if you are not feeling a max lift.


I SHOULD TRY THIS AS RX'D IF: I am feeling a max lift coming


NEW TO CROSSFIT VERSION: AMRAP in 20 minutes of: 15 hang snatches, 20-sec. L-sit, 30-sec. plank


GROUP VERSION: as is, more reps if needed, most people from the hang. Or if I want someone to go heavy, just do cleans instead


INJURY VERSION: Pick 2 of the SLIPS you can do and practice for 30 minutes at a decently high intensity


WARMUP

PVC OHS

Handstand

Jump rope

Kb swing

Box jump

INTENDED STIMULUS

.

Fun day! Starting with SLIPS is an excellent opportunity to increase the core temperature and prime your primary stabilizers. When you get to the snatch you will be up and ready to go. We tend to be way too precious with energy when it comes to heavy days. Give the SLIPS all your love and your snatch will thank you. Trust your training. Today is a good day to change some of the positions so that shoulders, ankles, and hips are nice and mobile for the lifting session next!

Now, let's talk about the snatch. It is such a beautiful movement. It is the true expression of your flexibility, strength, coordination, balance, power, speed, pure badassery, and hard work. Keep in mind one crucial aspect. You want to develop this movement with the following hierarchy as a guide: 1. positions; 2. movement; 3. speed; 4. load. Yes, weight and speed are last in importance for a simple reason. If your positions and movement are weak, the amount of load you can snatch will always be limited. Today find where you are lacking on those four points and work on that. If it is positions, add pauses, and hold the right positions. If it is movement, add partial movements (hangs and powers) and repetitions to reinforce proper movement patterns. If it is speed, find a load that allows you to move fast. If it is load, then you are good to go, go heavy AF!


OPTION for SLIPS

3 sets

20 seconds back scale on right leg, with bent knee

20 seconds back scale on left leg, with bent knee

20 seconds rest

20 seconds front scale on right let, with bent knee

20 seconds front scale on right let, with bent knee

20 seconds rest

20 seconds L-sit hold from pull-up bar

20 seconds rest

20 seconds L-sit hold from dumbbells

20 seconds rest

20 seconds L handstand hold on wall with wide arms

20 seconds rest

20 seconds L handstand hold on wall with wide arms

20 seconds rest

20 seconds extended plank hold facing the ground

20 seconds rest

20 seconds extended plank hold facing the ceiling


rest 1:00 between sets


OPTION for Snatches

For all the snatches here there is a 2-second pause at the receiving position, whether power or full. For all the overhead squats there is a 2-second pause at the bottom.


EMOM for 5

2 high hang power snatches + 2 pause overhead squats


Build from super effing light to light.


EMOM for 4

2 hang power snatches from mid-thigh + 1 overhead squat + 1 hang snatch from midthigh


Build from light to light/moderate


EMOM for 3

1 power snatch + 1 snatch + 1 overhead squat


Build from light to light/moderate

😁 Took your entire advice! (Although, I forgot the 1 min./rest between sets on SLIPS. I felt like the 20 second rests were enough!) Did the EMOMs with just a men’s bar. If I elev. my heels a tiny bit I feel much more solid in the sq. & stay upright! My depth is as low as it will go! But I worked a lot without elevated heels & would get slightly below parallel! Any advice for someone desperately trying to get overhead mobility with a nice vertical torso?!?!
