Really happy with my consistency & my double-unders! They usually suck when I’m trying to go fast! I guess it helps to be wore out & unable to overthink it! Like Oly. Lifting! 😂 I could be faster if someone would write down my reps for me while I rested for 10 seconds! 🤣

This is a really cool change-up to the traditional Tabata protocol! Try to put forth a hard and continuous effort on most intervals. Here are some scaling thoughts:


Pull-ups: I’ll have athletes use a variation that allows them to move continuously for at least 2-3 of the intervals. Ring rows, inverted bar rows, and toe-nail assisted pull-ups will be what I will go with today when modifying the movement. I will likely avoid band-assistance because it’s bit of a hassle getting in and out of the bands when transitions are tight.  


Push-ups: As with the pull-ups I will have athletes use a variation that allows for continuous movement for the first 2-3 intervals. My main modifications will be an incline push-up or a push-up from the knees. 


Air Squats: This movement will not need much scaling. In very rare instances, I will have athletes squat to a target if establishing range of motion is difficult. 


GHD Sit-ups- I typically take a very cautious approach with GHD sit-ups.  As a general guideline for today, I will have experienced athletes attempt this movement as prescribed if they have a had consistent exposure to the movement recently. For experienced athletes that have not had recent exposure to the movement, I will most likely scale to a ½ range of motion GHD sit-up, where they lower their torso parallel to the floor. For athletes that are new or de-conditioned, I will most likely modify the movement to a straight-leg abmat sit-up, where the finish position is achieved when the hands touch the toes.


Rowing: No modification should be needed unless there is a special circumstance. 


Double-Unders: I will likely just have all athletes practice for 20 seconds and see what happens. In the rare instance that I think the impact of landing from a double-under attempt is too demanding, I will have the athletes perform single-unders.

Notice words that were left out of this article. Words like industry, government, interests, commissioned, grants, and funding. Those are not science. Science is the objective core, but that kernel is surrounded by elements which make up the research enterprise game.

John, I'd include scientific misconduct, consensus, peer review, fraud, tenure, lack of replicability/reproducibility and more to describe what it is that the "kernel" of modern science "is surrounded by" but the word "corrupted" fits better in the academic "research enterprise game" than "surrounded". These corruptions are at the heart of consensus science (postmodern or academic science) and don't just surround it.


I think that it's important to differentiate academic and industrial science in looking at the "research enterprise game" and shortcomings.

Dany Lafontaine

While I agree with you that at its core the words you listed do not represent science, in reality they are intertwined. Why is that? Because of lack of funding for research and the ridiculous productivity expectations placed upon researchers nowadays. The sheer volume of publications being generated makes little sense and their quality becomes questionable.


Pay to play journals are popping up on a seemingly daily basis. Exercise scientists are becoming more and more "disease scientists" instead of following their true passion. Hardly anyone studies sports or exercise modes because the funding just isn't there. While flawed, the peer review process is still the best option to determine the quality of a scientific paper.


As for integrity of the researchers themselves, it is a self-regulation process with some occasional disruptions. Lack of tenure positions puts researchers on edge and constantly at risk of unemployment. Painting academic research with such a wide and negative brush is an insult to the majority of the devoted and honest academic researchers, and does no service to the point you're trying to bring to the publics' attention.

INTENDED STIMULUS


This workout will make you fitter, it should also make you feel awesome. The first five minutes you will naturally have to pace, not out of strategy but because you don't want to reach failure on your first set. Push-ups and pull-ups are very anaerobic, in other words they burn and tend to die on you. That means your pace here will self-regulate itself a little. Stay smart and commit to awesome shapes without reaching failure at the start. The squats and sit-ups will also be burny. However you will be able to keep up a very cadence pace here, they are a lot more aerobic. On your first set get a solid number of reps and commit to keep it up for your next four sets. You can do it. In the row and jump we finish the cycle. Now is all aerobic power so is about fighting for calories and hanging on to the rope. As you can see the intensity will build as the workout progresses, and that will feel awesome. If scaling the pull-ups today, try a modification new to you that allows you to practice the mechanics of kipping. If you don't have access to a GHD, gor for regular sit-ups with and push it hard. If your dubs are not very consistent, go for singles, you want that last part of the workout to be a continous fight for reps, if you trip too much we will miss that. Spend 5-10 minutes before your workout working on those dubs while fresh. This is an awesome workout, get after it today! Feel awesome! 



▶ OPTION 1

On a 15-minute running clock, for max reps: 

5 rounds of:   

20 seconds of box kipping pull-ups, 10 seconds of rest   

20 seconds of rack push-ups, 10 seconds of rest 


Then, 


5 rounds of squats and AbMat sit-ups 


Then, 


5 rounds of of rowing and double-unders/single-unders

Commented on: Modern Science, Part 1

File this article under "Greg Glassman doing Greg Glassman things."


In the same way that a useful definition of fitness did not exist in the academic literature before Greg presented "work capacity across broad time and modal domains", here we have a definition of science that has more utility than any that I've encountered in my career as an academic (~15 years; now a tenured professor at a major research university, for context).


Not sure that this article will be as widely read and circulated as the original "What is Fitness" article, but it's equally revolutionary in its conceptual advance.


All affiliate owners and CrossFit trainers would do well to familiarize themselves with the distinction between modern and post-modern science. The services you provide to your clients are rooted in modern science. Your critics and detractors are generally coming from a post-modern science perspective.

Loved reading this article - and I also hope this becomes just as popular and standard as Glassmans definition of What is Fitness. Good to see you comment on here - I remember your presentation at our trainee summit and how insightful it was!

Nathan,

It's nice to hear your take on this article. CrossFit really is a unique place. Where else do you get serious discussion of the fundamentals of science?

The early days of CrossFit were especially fun, when the critics denounced CrossFit entirely on theoretical grounds. Most people then had not experienced CrossFit or seen the results of others, so the refutations were purely hypothetical. They would say in one breath that CrossFit does not fit within their theoretical model and is refuted by their theoretical model.

I really appreciate that you were willing to try CrossFit on yourself before judging it on theoretical grounds. Few in the exercise science community have done that.

Tyler -


You and the team are doing a phenomenal job putting out some excellent content on the site. Please keep it coming.


I wish I had been around in those early days. I didn't pick up CrossFit until 2015, 5 years ago last month. I'm still a newbie in the grand scheme of things. I'd like to think that had I encountered CrossFit in, say, 2005, I would have had the same open minded approach, rooted in scientific curiosity. I don't know that I would have. By the time I picked up a barbell for anything other than the bench press or curls in the squat rack, the efficacy of CrossFit was already widely known by pretty much everyone except the exercise science community. So I've always had this feeling of playing catch up, learning things that everyone else around me already knew, except for me.


You're spot on about the rejection being on purely theoretical grounds. I am sorry to report from the academic front lines that the situation is actually getting worse, at least in some circles: the rejection continues, on the same purely theoretical grounds.


The difference between 2020 and 2005, and the reason I say the situation is worse, is that now, there are plenty of empirical data, both in the published literature and from the 2 million+ CrossFitters in 15,000+ affiliates around the world, to support CrossFit as perhaps the optimal approach to attaining and maintaining fitness and health. So yes, the rejection is based on theories, except the theories are now categorically rejected, at least when we rigorously apply the scientific method to our reasoning. We have plenty of data to support that.


But I'm learning more and more that scientific data tend to have little impact on beliefs. Apparently, belief systems about fitness are multi-faceted and objectively-measured scientific data tend to have less of an effect on beliefs than I might have expected, even, unfortunately, among people with PhDs who self-identify as scientists.


Hope to make it back out to HQ soon. Keep up the great work. This is important stuff. These articles are helping to mitigate my growing cynicism :)

I was fortunate to stumble upon CrossFit in 2001, because I was looking to integrate gymnastics into my kettlebell/sprints/barbell training. There was barely any gymnastics training information online and no one else was discussing it in terms of fitness. My group of friends in Seattle that I trained with were all willing to give CrossFit a shot. This was before CrossFit even had critics, so no theoretical objections got in the way!

We had no idea what we were doing. There were no videos of CrossFit, so we weren't aware that the pullups were done with a kip. But even then, there was an incredible community forming around CrossFit, so we all learned a ton.

Within the exercise science community, you're an early adopter. There seems to be a changing of the guard happening within exercise science, so it will be exciting to see what develops. I know I'm one of many who value your perspective and I hope you can make more trips out to HQ.

Nathan,


This article was awesome and I already sent it out to all my coaches to read for our weekly coaches development before reading your comment - for exactly the reasons you put down.


As always, I'm grateful to have your professional insight from the exercise science world here to further validate what CrossFit stands for. You are definitely a pioneer and I hope that more in your field start to follow your lead.


Thanks for being a great part of our community and keep up the awesome work!

Globo scale: for those of you who are confused, this is alternating tabatas, 5 minutes of each couplet, 20 on 10 off. If you do not have a GHD or are not proficient at them, sub abmat situps today. For the row, sub either calories on the bike, 10 meter sprints, or burpee pullups.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

So I read this wrong when I did it this morning, but no matter, it just turned out to be shaded more towards stamina than endurance. I did all 5 pull-up sets, then all 5 push-up sets, etc. instead of pull-up, push-up, pull-up, push-up, etc. Again, the magic is in the movements. So as long as you are doing something with the movements listed - or the general principles of the movements listed - then you'll be fine.


PURPOSE

Take some of the stamina factor out of the original Tabata rep scheme - especially for some movements that would benefit from some extra rest - and add in more intensity


NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE

As is. Maybe sub L-sit for GHD sit-ups.Or strict knees to elbows


TRAINING SCALE

If you wanted to shade to endurance then do it the way I did on accident in the rant. Also scale any movement that you would have to rest more than once in any 20-second time frame.


PRACTICE SCALE

5 rounds, 1-minute at each exercise, practice, don't keep track of reps


INJURY SCALE

Pick two movements you can do and hit the regular Tabata. Go through twice.


GROUP SCALE

Transitions will be tricky, so if they would eat too much into the next set, either set it up as stations and staying at the same exercise for all 5 sets before moving on, or don't make it a set 10-second rest. Maybe 12 or 14 or whatever it takes for people to get to the next spot.


WARMUP

Go through a few sets of all the movements


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 5
