16:24 with 205lb. cleans. Otherwise as rx’d. FUN WOD. Normally ghd sit-ups get crazy hard with this rep scheme after the first round but I didn’t really tire too badly with 2-3 strategic breaks each set. Didn’t do Nasty Nancy because friendly Fran and Damn Diane crushed me. 63 thrusters with 50lb dumbbells were too much for my legs and 45 deadlifts at 315 was too heavy for my CNS. Still not 100% and needed an extra rest day since I couldn’t imagine doing 75 overhead squats yesterday, and my goal is to thrive, not simply survive!

Globo/home scale: Sorry for the sporatic posts, work issues. Elites (regional levels and above) as rxed. "Rxed" athletes cleans at 155/225, heavy rope DU, 1/2 the GHD situps. intermediate do Annie with 135/185lb cleans, standard Double Unders and Abmat situps. Scaled 85/135lbs, double unders, abmat situps. Beginner 1/2 annie, 65/95lb cleans, single unders, 1/2 the abmat situps per round. Standards taken from Wodapalooza divisional standards.


Home workout with limited equipment do Annie, with dumbbell cleans 10-8-6-4-2 35/50lb dumbbells, after the corresponding round.

Scaled to women’s weight, 185 lb.  Time – 13:24.


This went pretty well, but I had at least one hiccup in every set of double-unders except the set of 10.  First clean after 50 DUs – well, let’s say the back just felt like a noodle.  Even at the women’s weight, all but 3 or 4 of the girls beat this time at the CrossFit Games yesterday…wild!

Very disappointing. I set the GHD length wrong ... I blew a shoelace ... I just couldn't sustain any rhythm. SUX because regular Annie (< 7) is my best benchmark. I agree with the video: GHDs murder cleans.

Good luck with the virtual schooling.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS

Double under - jumping, elasticity, a little extra accuracy

GHD sit-up - pulling from the hips, rigid midline, core-to-extremity

Clean - jumping, squatting, heavy weight, change of position/shape


WHAT ABOUT THE FORMAT

I am really hesitant to say this, but it seems regular Annie has not really stood the test of time as a benchmark workout (along with 30 muscle-ups for time). The community adapted pretty quickly to double unders and it became a test of transition time and sit-ups. While it's still a test for me, better CrossFit athletes could probably use that as their warmup. So they made this thing.


TECHNIQUE SCALE

As is, lose the timer and cut 75% of the ROM for GHD sit-ups and dial in on the kick of the legs first


CONSISTENCY SCALE

As is, rest between exercises so all sets are unbroken.


INTENSITY SCALE

Maybe something like:

5 rounds of:

50 double unders

5 cleans

then practice GHD sit-ups in the warmup


MY STUFF

I kinda coasted through this one. Forgot my time. I tried to keep my butt squeezed on double understanding because Kelly said it was better. I did regular sit-ups. And I did 205-lb. power cleans.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7
