With 20# weight vest, 6 rounds.


Of all these movements, I did not expect the shoot-throughs to be the toughest – what a core killer.  OHS went great, and box jumps also fine.  I only had one miss on the box jumps, but it was costly – took out a big chunk of my shin and bled like nobody’s business.  Fortunately it was in the last round.

5 rounds plus 25 reps rx really wanted 6. Went slow on first round and did it under 2:30 then rested a bit before each unbroken set of ohs. Shoot throughs broken into 6-5-4 each round except the last one. (6-4) These really got the abs going. Felt the abs on the box jumps too.

Skiing last week in Colorado (right up until they closed everything due to virus). I will be doing make-up WODs on rest days going forward. I did a version of this today, Wednesday, 3/19. Due to space limits, I had to do 1-arm dumbbell overhead squats:


20 minute AMRAP:

4 left-arm DbOHS, 28lbs DB

4 right-arm DbOHS, 28lbs DB

12 box jumps, 24" box

16 shoot throughs between 18" chairs


5 rounds + (4+4+12+1) = 201 reps


Wow, that was pretty slow. I don't recall feeling so burned out on anything. Not pukie, just beaten down and powerles. Shoot throughs really crush the whole system!

Commented on: Fatigue Is a Brain-Derived Emotion That Regulates the Exercise Behavior to Ensure the Protection of Whole Body Homeostasis

Another point in favor of the central governor theory might be the gradual improvement in world record times in various races. Since Roger Bannister broke the 4-minute mile barrier, over 500 American men have accomplished the feat. Training methods have improved and the pool of participants has grown, too. But it must be argued that the 4-minute barrier was at least in part psychological.

The marathon shows a similar trajectory. It took until 1925 for the 2:30 barrier to be broken and now runners are approaching the 2 hour barrier (exceeded it if you count Euclid Kipchoge's non-competition performance). A 2:30 marathon is no longer even noteworthy, unless you're 59 years old and run it in 2:27 and set a new father-son marathon world record: https://www.runnersworld.com/runners-stories/a29726106/father-son-fastest-combined-marathon-time-record/

Occasionally an outlier like Usain Bolt will come along and smash a record, but the fact that improvements are so incremental leads me to believe there is a substantial mental component.

Tyler, I think we see the application of the CGM that you're describing on a micro-level in CrossFit boxes everyday. The morning classes do the WOD and post their scores. The afternoon classes have the benefit of seeing those scores and using the entire day to think about their plan for the workout and beat so-and-so from earlier. So they get 2 more reps or finish 10 seconds faster than their buddy (aka arch nemesis) from the morning class due in large part to the simple fact that by posting their score, the morning guy/gal put the target on their back by posting their score.


We see a similar phenomenon with the Open, of course. Repeat attempts on a given workout go better because of the mental/psychological aspect of knowing the previous score... there's no way that the improvements in scores over just a few days can be wholly attributed to changes in fitness :)

Very interesting study from 2012. Does anyone know of further studies that also explore this topic?

Tyler Hass
March 14th, 2020 at 9:14 pm

Neither of these studies mention the central governor theory, but I think they're interesting and on topic.


POST-MATCH LACTIC ACID CLEARANCE AND HEART RATE: DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WINNERS AND LOSERS

In this one, they measured the plasma levels of lactate and heart rate of two hockey teams post competition. Members of the losing team had higher heart rates and lactate levels than members of the winning team or controls. This suggests a central governance of post-competition recovery.


Human behaviours associated with dominance in elite amateur boxing bouts: A comparison of winners and losers under the Ten Point Must System

This one discusses, among other things, how elite amateur boxers pace themselves during a bout. They notice some of the same things as seen in runners, such as the end spurt. To me, the interesting thing about combat sports is that they have both a fixed and variable end point. A fighter could could adopt a pacing strategy to have perfectly event performance across the whole fight. Optimizing for the fixed end point is good for a runner, but a fighter could get knocked out in the first round if an opponent decides to surge early (optimize for the variable end point). I'm not at all an expert in combat sports, but I would love to hear someone with expertise in this area have a conversation with Tim Noakes!

Globo scale: for shoot throughs, if you don't have paralletes use 2 boxes, 2 benches, a door gym on the ground, or rings low to the ground. For overhead squats sub 5 35/50 lb single dumbbell overhead squats, each side. For Box jumps sub bench jump overs, high jumps touching a target, or broad jumps. Otherwise, build a box with those step things. Just be careful with those.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Just a Workout. Also wanted to shout out Jarrod Bell of CrossFit BMW in Detroit. He used to called these movements Yin-Yangs back in 09. So to honor my main man I'm calling these Yin Yangs for this post.


PURPOSE

Squat with the arms overhead, squat while leaving the ground, and squat with the hands supporting the body


NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE

As is, just add reps to the OHS if you're going light in weight.


TRAINING SCALE

Scale so unbroken on everything.


PRACTICE SCALE

Extend the time to 30 minutes and go slow/precise on everything.


GROUP SCALE

Having enough equipment for the Yin Yangs will be tricky, so you'll need to make the decision on practicing the transition or the finish positions. For the transition, either a handstand descent/raise up or strict knees to elbows will do. For the finish position, roll from a regular plank to a back plank.


INJURY SCALE

Pick one slow gymnastics movement and one movement with weights, preferably overhead. Go at them form 20 minutes.


WARMUP

PVC OHS

Handstand

Jump rope

Kb swing

Pull-up


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7

INTENDED STIMULUS

.

Core and Power! The mark of solid athleticism. This is a super cool take on the classic Cindy rep scheme and time domain. Let's analyze it carefully. The load on the overhead squats is meant to be heavy but very manageable for the whole workout. This weight should make you work, focus hard, and fight, but not slow you down too much. In other words, pick a load you think can cycle unbroken for the twenty minutes. Similarly, the height on the box is meant to be higher than you would typically do for a longer workout. But the number of repetitions is such that it allows you to keep a consistent cadence. This specific combination of squats and box jumps will place high power output demands as well as stability demands. It will get sweaty, and it will tax your core. In the second half of the round, the legs will have a break, but the core and the shoulders will continue to work hard. The shoot-throughs are humbling exercise, especially if you have never done them before. Fifteen reps are a lot of reps for this movement, and you might need to plan one or two breaks per round. This is a movement that requires that you stay focused on your form. It is easy just to get the rep, but not the full benefit. Keep this in mind: beautiful front plank in the back, beautiful reverse plank in the front. If you need to modify this movement add height. Check our video for an explanation. Aim your scaling so that you can get 7+ rounds. Today is grunt work! GRIND!
