Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

If you haven't looked up the Pose Method for biking, it is just as much of a game-changer for your bike efforts as it is for running efforts. Basically on the bike the Pose is where both pedals are horizontal, then you unweight one foot at a time. Don't push down.


AM I GOING TO SPEND AN ENTIRE WORKOUT ON A BICYCLE?

Probably not, all-caps alter ego.


WELL WHAT DO I DO THEN?

First, look at this thing prioritizing high intensity in that glycolytic (mid-distance) pathway; so if you do any workout that allows for a maximum output - preferably with rest - you're on the right track. As for biking, a mountain climber can be a good sub if you don't want to run, but be picky on both the plank position and making sure you're pulling your foot into the number-4 Pose position, not just mindlessly bringing your knees to your chest; throw those in with some other movements and a rest if you want to experiment. You could also look at this thing from a single modality perspective, in which case pick one thing you suck at (preferable a big ROM movement) and practice it for about 20 minutes, allowing for some fatigue to set in.


MY STUFF

Played around with a few different formats of sprint, mountain climber, sit-up, and rest for about 20 minutes


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: I didn't do this as listed, but based on "rest as needed" between I'd give it an 8

Done 5/3 a.m.


Used a single-speed, break-less bike (been a while old friend) and used an outdoor loop. Corners and intersections slowed me down some, but overall was slower than I wanted to be.

Track was a down-and-back on the road, and as close to a mile as I could measure without breaking out the walking wheel. 1:1 work-rest ratio. It was nice to get out on the bike again, thanks HQ.

Chuck, Natosha, and Donny: can't thank you enough for all the lessons learned (and a few laughs) during the L2 seminar. At the end of the weekend, I walked away with a bunch of great feedback. I look forward to bringing my new knowledge to the athletes at CrossFit PPG in Peachtree Corners. Shout out to Mike and CrossFit Downtown Atlanta for hosting.

Bike has a flat. I subbed 0.25mi sprints on elliptical trainer at 30% power. I set a repeating 3:00 timer for sprint/rest:

2:33 / 21.9cal

2:42 / 22.3cal

2:44 / 22.5cal

2:42 / 22.8cal

With hindsight, I think that was too short. I should have done 0.3mi for 3:00-3:30/round.

Had a great time in the L1 webinar. I didn’t know what to expect with it being a webinar but I was seriously surprised how great it was! The small group was awesome, the instruction and interaction were great and don’t feel like I missed out on anything having done it online rather than in person! 💗💪🏼

So excited to be a part of CrossFit again!
