13 rounds plus 14 reps with 35’s and straight bar, straight-legged body-rows with top of bar at 35” and feet on ground. Did kipping pull-ups in the warmup in place of ring rows and did 3 sets of 5 tempo fat grip bar rows in the practice segment of my warmup. With the added torque/rotation of the bar the fat gripz, rows in the warmup were 3-5x harder than just the barbell alone. First time in a long time I’ve been able to exceed the muscular endurance of my shoulders on thrusters. Usually it’s legs or cardio. Great scaling for me today.


980 thruster/lbs. when counting the 14th set. Thrusters unbroken. Bar/body rows unbroken until round 11-12. Scaled because I have a procedure upcoming and I wanted to rest my grip/system, wanted to focus on more volume and unbroken thrusters...and I need more horizontal pulling in my life.

Sorry, but pound-rounds is not a useful measure of work unless every round across various workouts is the same reps and the same distance.


Work = force x distance, useful measures of work must be based on this.

NOTES:


Like a lot of people, I was more afraid of the thrusters, so went light and focused on technique.  MAYBE I could have gone heavier but I’m happy with 20-22/.5 weights for now.  The real challenge was the pullups - couldn’t do a single straight set.  But managed all of them strict.

As rx’d, 15 rounds + 1 thruster @ 35# DBs.  15x70 = 1,050 pound-rounds.


Went a little lighter on the dumbbells to speed this up and get through more rounds.  At some point, though, the pull-ups can become the limiting factor.  Wonder how this would have felt with 50’s.  Unbroken everything until last round – was racing to get the last set of pull-ups in and had to break them so as not to tear through a blood blister.

Last day of being stuck in this room. Used the blue band in place of DBs. Felt somewhere around 35# in squat position for each arm and around 45# each at the top of the thruster, so average of 40# each arm I’m estimating.

11 rds in 20 minutes. Did jumping pull-ups in last round though to beat the clock.

880# if counting 40# each arm and last round.

Good WOD nevertheless!

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Sour gummy worms are about as good as it gets. That close-up in the article linked literally made my mouth water.


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS

Dumbbell thruster - jumping with an exaggerated range of motion in hips and shoulders, also a loss of connection (dumbbells vs. bar)

Pull-up - pulling overhead with an emphasis on skill (core-to-extremity)


WHAT ABOUT THE FORMAT

Something that will cover a ton of ROM and has the flexibility to be tailored to the athlete's purpose; the time domain means it will suck no matter what. I'll also say don't be hesitant to adjust the weight mid-workout

MY STUFF

I kind of whipped out today and did what I could loosely define as a "consistency scale." AMRAP in 20 minutes of: 10 kipping handstand push-ups (upside down thrusters) and 10 strict pull-ups. 8 rounds.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 8
