Post time to comments.
Compare to 160206.


Scaling
Grace is one of the fastest CrossFit benchmark workouts. Reduce the load so you can perform multiple reps unbroken and complete all the reps in less than 5 minutes. Athletes less familiar with Olympic lifting should take time to drill the mechanics of each movement and reduce the load drastically.

Intermediate Option
30 clean and jerks for time
♀ 75 lb ♂ 115 lb

Beginner Option
30 clean and jerks for time
♀ 55 lb ♂ 75 lb

3 rounds of:

10 down dog to deep lunge stretch, alternating

40 lateral line hops

20 glute bridges

20 sit-ups

With an empty barbell

3 reps each of:

Deadlift to mid-thigh

Deadlift to jump and shrug (clean pull)

Muscle clean

Hang power clean

Power clean

Shoulder press

Push press

Tall jerk

Push jerk

Build-up

6 rounds every 2-minutes

Workout of the day

-Set a goal to be faster than 5-minutes

Cool-down

5-minute bike or row, easy pace

5-minute foam roll, hamstrings, glutes, and TFL (Tensor fasciae latae is the muscle attached to the IT band on the side of the hip)

As rx’d, 12:41.


Unbroken clean & jerks was a win, very pleased with that.  Runs were around 9 min/mile pace; a bit slow but allowed me to come in fresher on the barbell work. And yes, you're damn right, I am totally running from Grace. Not ready for that pain cave...

I don't have compare to data for Grace but I'm certain the last time I did it at 95# and barely finished under 5 minutes. I see this as a win going up in weight despite busting the time cap. Form felt good throughout though I am still not a fan of push jerk.

Jim, I'm not sure why they used the 160206 as the compare to but we've done Grace since then. I remember a Heavy Grace as well as a pick Grace or Isabel not too far back.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

A test of power output over a short period. Also originally designed as a big middle finger to exercise science people and coaches who said Olympic lifts should never be done at high reps (as if 30 is high reps anyway). Moving a large load, long distance, quickly, jumping, upright torso, core to extremity also themes.


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT


MEDIUM x


HEAVY


TECHNIQUE SCALE

AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

10 clean and jerks (light weight)

Run 200 meters


CONSISTENCY SCALE

For time:

30 cleans (squat)

30 push/split jerks


INTENSITY SCALE

Use as close to rx'd weight as possible, but break up into sets of 10, 6, 5, or 3. And give yourself a set time to rest in between sets.


MY STUFF

2:05, 105 lbs. Been a real box-checker lately.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 8
