Did double unders tabata-style because I saw through the trap! Glad I did. Cardio hit me on the box jumps and then legs after that. Then coordination went too, apparently.

Great article and replies. While the scientific method is great in theory it is pretty useless unless the scientist is actually following it. As long as research is tainted by profit motive driven "funding", we will continue to have what we presently have. What we have now is one lie on top of another clouded by fake science that assures confusion and profit for those who fund the research.

Expect this workout to be very difficult on the lower body due to the movement functions, redundancy, and format. I highly recommend spending some time actively recovering after the workout to assist with reducing soreness for the next couple of days. Here are some scaling thoughts:


Double Unders: If you struggle with this movement, this format provides a great opportunity to practice and I recommend that most do not scale to single-unders. For those where the impact of attempting double-unders is very demanding, single-unders can be a viable option. 


Single-leg Squats: I expect higher-level athletes to be able to complete 12-15+ reps on each 20 second interval. For most of us, striving for 5+ can be a very challenging goal to shoot for. I recommend performing a variation that allows you to achieve the goal (5+ reps). If you cannot perform full range of motion single-leg squats, consider modifying to a similar single-leg movement, per your capacity. This could be simply elevating the heel or squatting to a target that keeps the hips above parallel to the knee. Other options could be to perform the single-leg squat on top of a box and potentially tapping the heel or toes to the floor on the descent. If you cannot maintain balance on the working leg, a Bulgarian split squat or a reverse lunge could be great options.


Box Jumps: Expect this movement to be very challenging when following the double-unders and single-leg squats. I recommend using a height that allows for at least 20 reps to be able to be completed in each 2 minute interval….even if that’s just a few inches.

WOD ANALYSIS


Coaching notes:


Template: This high intensity WOD follows “AMRAP” template, so scoring is based on as many reps as possible. For the tabata, 20 sec all-out work is a subset of AMRAP. For example, we use 20 sec AMRAP, then rest for 10 sec and repeat it for 8 sets.


Format: This exercise is a triple element in a couplet modality that is combined of a high skill movement and a moderate height jump from metabolic conditioning with a high skill gymnastic weightlifting movement.


Purpose: This training is focused on the stamina and explosive power of the lower body. Jumping in both double-unders and box jumps challenge the explosive power and improve it. The single leg squat is a high skill movement so athletes can improve their stamina and coordination in this movement. And finally, this training is improving the lactic acid energy pathway and increase lactate tolerance in each 2 min AMRAPs and 4 min (20/10 work to rest) tabata.


What secret is concealed in this WOD?

The reason for choosing and combining these 3 moves: Strength training and plyometric training may affect different aspects of power-related skills. Consequently, it has been suggested that combining heavy strength training and plyometric training improves power and power-related skills to a greater extent than any of the 2 training modalities alone. In most studies in this field, data support the hypothesis that combining heavy strength training and plyometric exercises is superior to only training one of the training modalities. The reason for this could be that these 2 training modes enhance 2 important qualities for high power production: maximal force and rapid force development.


Running a class: Trainers have 44 min for set other parts. So he/ she can set the other parts according to purpose of the training and level of physical fitness of athletes.


Physiology (GPP): Cardiorespiratory and stamina play a major role in this WOD. Moreover, strength, flexibility, balance and coordination are challenged.


Physiology (energy pathway): The aerobic system is a dominant energy pathway in this WOD. Furthermore, 2 min for each movement will make use of the lactic acid energy system.


Anatomy:

DU: Full body

Single leg squat: Gluteus maximus, Quadriceps, Hamstring, Gastrocnemius, Soleus

Box jump: Gluteus maximus, Quadriceps, Gastrocnemius, Hamstring, Soleus

_________________________

Running a 60 min class:

Whiteboard: ≈ 3 min

General warm-up: ≈ 5 min

Specific warm-up for DU ≈ 4 min

Specific warm-up for single leg squat ≈ 5 min

Specific warm-up for box jump ≈ 3 min

WOD: = 16 min

Cool-down: ≈ 10 min


Additional time: It remains ≈ 14 minutes that can be divided in specific warm-up or cool-down.


Train hard and challenge your body. Enjoy it ;)

  • 2 min AMRAP of double unders
  • Tabata single leg squats: it includes "20 sec of right leg squat, 10 sec rest" and in continue "20 sec of left leg squat, 10 sec rest". you should perform this cycle for 4 rounds and it takes about 4 min.
  • 2 min AMRAP of box jump

I love this series.


This piece nicely reminds of us of the highly emotional, flawed human, with its big, powerful, creative brain prone to blind irrationality; an existence which demands standards, measurements and rigorous tests in order to know that anything believed is in actually so. Experience is relative and relativity is subjective; without experimentation progress is only accidental. Yet, experimentation is not immune to subjectivity. The scientific environment in which it is conducted surely influences what is learned.


"We do not describe the world we see, we see the world we can describe," - Descartes


I'd like to add this excerpt from Experimental Medicine, by Claude Bernard written in the 1860s to the discussion:

"I think that blind belief in fact, which dares to silence reason is as dangerous to the experimental sciences as the beliefs of feeling or of faith which also force silence on reason. In a word, in the experimental method as in everything else, the only real criterion is reason...


Let us recall how we characterized mathematical truths and experimental truths. Mathematical truths, once acquired, we said, are conscious and absolute truths, because the ideal conditions in which they exist are also conscious and known by us in an absolute way. Experimental truths, on the contrary, are unconscious and relative, because the real conditions on which they exist are unconscious and can be known by us only in their relation to the present state of our science. But if the experimental truths, which serve as foundation for our reasoning, are so wrapped up in the complex reality of the natural phenomena that they appear to us only in shreds, these experimental truths rest, none the less, on principles that are absolute because, like those of mathematical truths, they speak to our consciousness and our reason. Indeed the absolute principle of experimental science is conscious and necessary determinism in the conditions of phenomena. So that, given no matter what natural phenomenon, experimenters can never acknowledge variation in the embodiment of this phenomenon, unless new conditions have at the same time occurred in its coming to pass; what is more, they have an a priori certainty, that these variations are determined by rigorous, mathematical relations. Experiment only shows us the form of the phenomena; but the relation of a phenomenon to a definitive case is necessary and independent of experiment; it is necessarily mathematical and absolute. Thus we see that the principle of the criterion in experimental sciences is fundamentally identical with that of the mathematical sciences, since in each case the principal is expressed by necessary and absolute relation between things. Only in the experimental sciences, these relations are surrounded by numerous, complex and infinitely varied phenomena which hide them from our site. With the help of experiment, we analyze, we dissociate these phenomena, in order to reduce them to more and more simple relations and conditions. In this way we try to lay hold on scientific truth, ie: find the law that shall give us the key to all variations of the phenomena. Thus experimental analysis is our only means of going in search of the truth in the natural sciences, and the absolute determinism of phenomena, of which we are conscious a priori, is the only criterion or principle which directs and supports us."


Food for thought.

▶ INTENDED STIMULUS

.

Full leg workout today! Two rounders like this one are hard. In this case, this is especially true because in the middle you have four minutes of high power and intensity in the form of double-unders and box jumps. Unavoidably leg fatigue will get very real. Your numbers might drop as the workout progresses. However, this is a workout that promotes and aids intensity. The rests built-in for the single-leg squats are there so that you can rest between leg efforts and commit to working for the whole 20-seconds. On the box jumps, the height should allow you to go continuously to the entire two-minute window. On the double-unders, you might need to be intentional and smart about a break-up strategy. When deciding how to approach this beast, think about the second round, not the first one. Decide what sounds like a good pace and plan for that second round, and perform your first round with that strategy. Your task here is to try to match or better those numbers in the second round. If you are working on double-unders, leave 10-15 minutes before starting to practice the skill. Then choose a variation for this two-minute window that allows you to move. For the single-leg squats choose a modification in which you can have a pretty high cadence. If you follow my options regularly, we have been doing toenail squats lately. Today is a good idea for a banded single-leg squat, even though this is not the best modification typically, it will keep the metabolic demands pretty high. Stay focused and thrive!


▶ OPTION 1

On a 16-minute running clock, 2 rounds of:

2 minutes of single-unders

Tabata banded single-leg squats, alternating legs each interval

2 minutes of box jumps


♀ 16-in. box ♂ 20-in. box


▶ OPTION 2

On a 16-minute running clock, 2 rounds of:

2 minutes of single-unders

Tabata box single-leg squats, alternating legs each interval

2 minutes of box jumps


♀ 12-in. box ♂ 16-in. box



GUYS, I COULD USE YOUR HELP! I am developing a double-under program for my business (just an intro program). It will be available for everybody when I am done with it. Before I launch it, I want to test it. I am looking for volunteers. It would be super helpful to me. I could use as much feedback as I can. If you are working on double-unders, I think it would help you tremendously, even though I need to refine it. If you are interested, please sign-up here. I am looking for five volunteers. If you can help me out with this it would be awesome! THANKS!

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

I asked two of the peeps from the gym to test out a set of Tabata pistols because they can do them pretty fast and I can't. One of them had a high/low of 9 and 8, and the other had a high/low of 7 and 6. Remember that intensity is usually a requirement of Tabata, so if you don't have that capacity - for any movements, not just pistols - then you might want to adjust the time domain or movement.


MAIN DECISION

What do we do with these pistols in the middle?


NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE

As is, singles or stair jumps or running if needed instead of doubles, and lunges for pistols.


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS

Double under - jumping, a little extra ROM and accuracy, elasticity, monostructural

Pistol - squatting, unilateral loading

Box jump - jumping, probably not using as much elasticity, a little extra ROM


WHAT ABOUT THE REPS

Since we have 2 minutes of bouncing early on, I would expect the box jumps to not be touch-and-go, but step-down instead. Tabata stuff was covered a bit in the rant.


LEARN TO COOK

If you want to keep the movements the same but don't have them down consistently yet, add time to everything. If you want to preserve the intensity, then pick some movements that fit the themes listed above that you can do faster, then practice the actual movements in the warmup.


I DON'T WANT TO COOK, JUST GIVE ME FOOD

New to CrossFit scale
