230327

Workout of the Day

97

Chelsea
Every minute on the minute for 30 minutes perform:

5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 squats

If you fall behind the clock, keep going for 30 minutes and see how many rounds you can complete.

If you've finished the workout before, this time add 1 rep to each exercise — i.e., 6 pull-ups, 11 push-ups, and 16 squats each minute — and see if you can go the full 30 minutes.

Post results to comments.
Compare to 211014.


Scaling:
For intermediate athletes, this benchmark has a built-in scale by requiring you to continue after you fail to meet the interval. Newer athletes should modify the movements and reps but try to maintain a similar interval structure.

Beginner Option:
Every minute on the minute for 20 minutes perform:
3 jumping pull-ups
6 knee push-ups
9 squats

If you fall behind the clock, keep going for 20 minutes and see how many rounds you can complete.

I also like using the DB's on the pushup to help for people who have wrist pain when preforming a pushup.

Scaled to E2m: 10 UB tempo push-ups+15 squats. Went slow enough to be just under a minute for 15 rounds. At the 30m mark I sprinted a 16th round. Push-ups were hard to sprint but still unbroken. Squats were easy.

Still a good sweat/breather for me right now.

I coulda sworn this wod was called Cindy. And Chelsea was same rep scheme but MUs and I forget the rest…. Ring dips? I remember it was Cindy because our box would always describe it in Murph… like do the 20 rounds of Cindy… and they would often have for warmups… 5 rounds of Cindy….maybe the Mandela affect.


***update…. Oh I see my error. The difference btw Cindy and Chelsea is the time domain format. AMRAP vs EMOM… I corrected myself lol

Rx 30 rounds


Kept work periods 29-32 seconds all rounds except the last 2: 28 and 26 sec respectively. A little kip on the pull-ups, especially reps 4 and 5 of the later rounds. No compare to data so wanted to set the baseline. Next time will look to hit this as 6/11/16.

Alternated rounds of 6/11/16 and 5/10/15. About 20-22 sec rest after each round.

Today was day 4 in a row for me, so I called the workout early. Most of my injuries happen when I’m felling good, like now, and go too hard.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

If I'm not mistaken, this is the original "C" girls workout, before Cindy. The use of intervals has been integral in the CrossFit methodology's efficacy and efficiency, and this workout gives us 30 chances to monitor how well we can recover, even if we feel like we can't. I think it's really helpful to keep the integrity of the 30 minutes of rest and recovery by lowering the reps if needed, or even going to static holds. Try for finishing in 35-45 seconds each round, because remember, it's not just a 15-25 second rest, it's longer than that when you take into account the time it takes to go from pull-ups one round to pull-ups the next round, and same for squats and push-ups.


WORKOUT THEMES

Benchmark workout to demonstrate how well of an endurance dose gymnastics can give us. Squatting, pulling, pushing, stamina, medium output followed by short rest.


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT x


MEDIUM


HEAVY


COORDINATION SCALE

Cindy, modify the pull-up ROM to keep kipping rhythm and cut push-ups to like 5 or 7.


STAMINA SCALE

10 rounds of:

1:00 strict pull-up practice

1:00 push-up practice

1:00 squat hold


ENDURANCE SCALE

See rant.


MY STUFF

Did 5-sec pull-up hold, 10-sec push-up hold, 15-sec squat hold for 30 minutes


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7

Ring push-ups might be a good option as well. when you hold gymnastics rings in hands and push-up from the floor, not rings hanging on straps from the bar.
