Does anyone still doubt natural herbs? I've seen the great importance of natural supplements and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I wonder why people still spend their money on surgery, injections and drugs each time they are sick. Natural herbs can cure all kinds of illness. +2347063982352 drofenmu@gmail.com,

completed after 8/30 push presses. results there. no rower, subbed running 1200+m.


15:00


muscle-up's were all BMU, all singles. not ready to string together multiple. at least two failures on the BMU I can recall, so probably more. I was about 2:40, 3:00 ish, 3:15, but the run clocked in at a disappointing 6 minutes. I felt like my pace was quicker than that, but was sucking wind a little. Oh well.

As rx’d, 13:29. 


All singles for muscle-ups, got through first set in ~2:30.  Another 2:30 or so of squats, and then about 3 more minutes for the second set of MUs.  Tried to stay under control for the row – just striving for 1000 cal/hr as a pace.  Once I got to 90 cals, I went for broke.  Muscle-ups felt really good today.

Excellent piece!! Crossfit transcends Health and Wellness, its not just about increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains. It is so much more than this, and the past 2 years with Lockdowns and increasing cases regarding mental health and full spectrum is issues this can include, have only highlighted this.


So many have found peace in "the eye of the storm" of the daily WOD! CrossFit does not only build us physically, but emotionally and mentally too!!


A six pack for the mind if you will!!

Globo scale: If you can not hang rings and you have clearance do bar muscleups. Otherwise scale to 3 bar dips and 3 pullups per muscleup, or 2 strict pullups and 2 strict bar dips. If you do not have a rower sub 1200m run, 85 calorie assault or echo bike, or 60 burpees and 60 SDHP with a 35/45lb barbell or 35/53lb kettlebell broken anyway you want.


Bodyweight/equipmentless sub: 3/1 pullups and 6/1 hand release pushups for muscleups, and 1200m run for the row. If you do not have a pullup bar do 6 backpack, bag, or bodyweight rows from a railing or bar.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

Tax out the arms, tax out the legs, then see how your monostructural piece is affected.


MAIN DECISION

Do I want to scale to the general idea of the muscle-up (full body, scaling an obstacle), or do I want to scale to the specifics of it (upper body pushing and pulling)


TECHNIQUE SCALE

As is, sub banded muscle-up practice for muscle-ups, probably 3 minutes each time


CONSISTENCY SCALE

As is, sub strict pull-ups one set and strict dips the other


INTENSITY SCALE

As is, sub 5 rope climbs for each muscle-up set


INJURY SCALE

Upper-body - for time: 50 GHD sit-ups, 100 squats, 1-mile run

Lower-body - for time: 2 rounds of: 30 strict pull-ups and dips (split however you want), 100 hip extensions


MY STUFF

11:59, 800m run sub... not sure how long 100 calories would take


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7

Thanks Hillary for this article. I have a question related to this that I wonder if anyone else in the Crossfit community has experience with. One of the potential side effects of depression / anxiety is a very low Heart Rate Variability (like, consistently in the single digits low!). So how can one maintain consistent exercise routines (esp at high intensity) with such chronically low HRV, much as one really would love to? Any advice from Crossfit Drs or Psychiatrists out there, or anyone else who has had firsthand experience? Thanks for any input and also thanks Hillary for raising the topic.
