15:09 scaled to 3 rounds of

15 front squats at 185lb

7 strict ring muscleups

This one made my liver hurt after 2 rounds! Squats broken into 3 sets the first 2 rounds then 4 sets. Singles on muscleups the first 2 rounds then 5 in a row then 1, then a miss, then another single.

Intermediate option for front squat load, 155lbs. Don't have rings or MU yet, so did one-leg box assisted bar muscle ups.


13:31


Front squats were still very taxing and had to be broken up. Please no legs tomorrow.

I am ~400lbs and just moved over the weekend (Saturday). Skipped Sunday because I was torn up from moving.


Scaled to:


3 rounds (Time 3:30)


10 body weight squats

5 assisted pushups


Also did my daily GoWOD which is a challenge for me at my weight. Getting some rogue equipment for my garage in a couple weeks. So excited to use a barbell again.

3 rounds for time of:

20 DB front squats | 2x15 kg DB

21 horizontal rows

21 bench dips, elevated feet

SCORE: 25'10''

--

Squats much harder than expected ...😫 legs like lead... maybe too much running or too much sitting lately

Did a few more sets of squats, dips and push-up practice, for good measure.

Strict push-ups and dips as warm-up

5 km easy run in the early morning.

8:17


I misread the last workout and did the squats with a 115# barbell instead of air squats, so I swapped out the weighted squats with air squats today.


ceiling too low for MUs, so did strict C2B and ring dips instead.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

My first instinct says "moves large load, long distance, and quickly" and emphasizing pushing from the hips and pushing from the shoulders, as well as pulling from a global perspective (the kipping up part of the muscle-up). On a micro scale, I'd say this challenges the strength of our muscle-up by adding some major midline/lower body fatigue from the front squats.


MAIN DECISION

Do I want to scale to emphasize the skill of the muscle-up or strength of the muscle-up?


TECHNIQUE SCALE

AMRAP in 15 minutes of:

20 front squats

1 rope climb

*do pull-ups/dip/mu practice during warmup


CONSISTENCY SCALE

3 rounds

20 front squats

20 [pick either pull-ups or dips, lower number if needed]


INTENSITY SCALE

3 rounds

20 front squats

15 burpees


INJURY SCALE

Upper-body - AMRAP in 15 minutes of 15 squat jumps, 10 GHD sit-ups

Lower-body - AMRAP in 15 minutes of 10 knees to elbows, 10 dips


MY STUFF

7:53, used 105 on front squat and did 3 rope climbs first round, 7 muscle-ups second round, 20 burpees the third round


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7, maybe even an 8, depending how good you are at muscle-ups

Good article. I like the scaling breakdown of mechanics, consistency, and intensity stages. I might steal that for the notes.
