As rx’d, unbroken carries and full height straight arm swings.


56/54/57 reps



The carries were interesting, started out not bad, breathing got hard, then found a “rhythm” as grip got more painful. I felt less gassed going into the third round then the second somehow. Slight asthma today...need to lay off the ice cream.

Newbie- I accidently did 5 rounds of 5 mins. Should of been 3 - arms are blasted now

50lbs per arm for 200 meter carry

25lb dumbell swing

5 burpees all within the 5 mins ( is this correct?)


I wasn't able to keep doing 200 meter carry's at that weight and had to modify into KB swings and Burpees to at least get them in.

As rx’d.  3 + 7 Swings / 3 + 4 Burpees / 3 + 1 Swing.


In the rain.  Farmer carries the absolute worst – 1 break in first round, 2 in second, 3 in third.  Had about 3 minutes each round for the work; felt like I moved pretty well through it, but toweling off the bell each round was a pain in the butt (and I could never get it completely dry).  On the other hand, the light rain in between rounds felt nice.

RX today! But definitely didn’t get a lot of couplets in because of it. Grip strength is a major weakness for me.


Did a walk on the treadmill to find out steps per 200m and found it was right around 300. So counted steps instead of distance for farmers walks.

Reps were 29/19/34

Only had two 25# KB for FC. I used a 35# KB for the AMRAPs. FC in 2:20 without setting them down. Not exactly sure if it was 200m. It was a pretty good distance! 8 rounds each AMRAP. UB on both movements, kept moving through each 5 min. 40 burpees & 80 swings each 5 min. 360 total reps!

I’m an idiot ya’ll!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽

I only did the carry once & then, did three 5 minute AMRAPs of burpees & swings. I knew I couldn’t be that good after looking @ everyone’s comments! 😅 My version was a smoker! Felt like a TABATA as far as holding the pace. After watching the “WOD explained” video I thought the 200m FC was a 1 time buy-in! 🤦🏽 I was like ok 👌🏽 what does that have to do with anything. 🤪

One 53lb KB and one 53lb plate DB. Recently acquired some old school 1" DB plate sets and built a counter for my KB. First walk was with two 25lb and 3lb plate. Bad idea. So bulky I had to keep it further from my body. Switched to a bunch of 10's, 5's, and a 3 for the next two rounds. Better but still harder to grip than the KB. Broke up the walk at least 4 times every round which was a time suck.

Only Db available, so modified / scaled to


Three 5-minute rounds of:

200-m farmer carry | 2x15 kg DB

Then AMRAP of

5 burpees

10 DB swings | 15kg DB

2 minute rest between rounds


SCORE:

ROUND 1: 5 burpees + 10 swings + 5 burpees + 3 swings

ROUND 2: 5 burpees + 10 swings + 5 burpees + 10 swings

ROUND 3: 5 burpees + 10 swings + 5 burpees + 10 swings + 3 burpees


TOTAL REPS: 33 burpees + 53 swings = 86 reps (unbroken)

-

Very nice combo 👍 Really enjoyed it. Did one more 5 minute round, and some additional reps.

A lot of time spent on the walks. Limited space, had to reverse direction very often.

First time, I think, doing American swings.

5 km run int the morning

Odd question--how long(time) is a good estimate for the walk?

I have achillies tendonitis and walking is slow, but I can hold onto the weights.

Maybe a 1 - 1 1/2 min hold???

Any suggestions?

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

For the technique scale I always think about what movement would be harder to coach during a session? So for example, it's easier to get farmers walk form right (neck straight, shoulders back and turned out) than it is to get running technique right. So if I had a group I wanted to get up to speed on technique, I'd probably go with running instead of farmers walks.


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS

Farmers walk - low intensity monostructural movement with an emphasis on upper-body pulling

Burpee - changing orientation with an emphasis on pushing and jumping/landing

Kettlebell swing - jumping with light weight, emphasis on core-to-extremity


MAIN DECISION

Emphasize the couplet or the farmer's walk weight?


TECHNIQUE SCALE

4 rounds of:

Run 400 meters

10 burpees

20 kb swings


CONSISTENCY SCALE

Keep the farmers walks as close to rx as you can, extend the time cap to 6 or 7 if needed so you can get a good dose of couplet rounds


INTENSITY SCALE

As is, scale the weight on the walks to something you can do unbroken, use a different kb for the swings if needed


INJURY SCALE

Upper-body - I know I usually say don't try to makeshift a rx movement if you can't do it 100%, but I wonder if a loaded backpack walk would be good? Then do one-arm swings and box jumps too?

Lower-body - AMRAP in 20 minutes of: 20 ring rows, :40 L-sit, 1:00 bike


MY STUFF

Scaled to 35-lb. kb, 2 rounds, didn't count rounds of the couplet


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7

Two quick questions:

1) what is the rx weight for the farmers carry?

And 2) is the 200m farmers carry buy in done for each round? Or just the first one?


thanks!!

1) Rx is same weight as the KB swings, assuming you have two KBs.

2) 200m is buy in for each round.
