Monday

230501

Workout of the Day

79

With a running clock, every minute perform 1 deadlift and add weight. Women increase by 10 lb, men increase by 20 lb after each successful lift.

Start with a 185-lb barbell for women and a 275-lb barbell for men, and deadlift for as long as possible.

Post heaviest deadlift to comments.


Scaling:
Intermediate athletes can maintain the format of this workout, but start with a lighter load in order to get through 10+ rounds. Newer athletes should ignore the clock and spend more time practicing the deadlift.

Beginner Option:
Deadlift 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

185-195-205-215-225-235-245-255-265-275

Goal: was 10 rounds & I got it. My PR is 285 (fighting for 300 someday) Super happy that I got to 275 considering the fatigue. No back soreness the next day either. Also, did an EMOM right before this of:

5 minutes of

2 Strict PU

2 Kipping PU

2 C2B PU

2 T2B

2 BMU

& then, 5 minutes of:

You start the clock, and on every minute that goes by you perform one deadlift and rest the remainder of that minute. You finish the workout when you fail the lift.

Scaled/subbed plus a little makeup from 230430

5 reps OHS each weight w/ 3 sec pause at the bottom

75-85-95-105#

Then

5 reps DL w/ 20# increase each set

135-275#


Felt the need to make up some of the OHS work from yesterday. I'm limited in weight at home and today just didn't pan out to do this elsewhere, so I went for more reps and focused on quality. Pretty pleased by how smooth and solid these lifts felt today.

I tracked my wods on a notepad for years, but recently logged them on btwb as well. I also started this year and want to see how much my fitness level increases if I follow the mainsite wods for one (x) year(s). (The app works like this: the wods of the tracks that you follow are shown every day, then you get a level for each wod. From these individual wods, your overall fitness level is calculated based on eight categories (strength, endurance, speed, etc.)

Dumbbells sub 3 dumbbell Romanian deadlifts (2 dumbbells) going up by 5 lbs on the minute. If you max the available dumbbells do a "Death by" and increase by one rep each minute until you fail.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

High output followed by short rest. See rant on the kids article


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT


MEDIUM


HEAVY x


COORDINATION SCALE

AMRAP in 15 minutes of:

30-sec. deadlift hold

15 box jumps (step down)


STRENGTH SCALE

Regular max effort deadlift format


ENDURANCE SCALE

Deadlift 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps, do a short sprint or burpee set before each lift to use heavy breathing as a way to challenge position


MY STUFF

Guessed pretty close. Did heavy(ish) front squats, no set rep scheme but till I felt it and took a walk to the wall and back to rest


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 5?

Commented on: Ask a Coach: Is CrossFit Safe for Kids?

At the surface level - and for the target audience - this is a great question to dive into. At a deeper level, I think a better question to ask is whether or not kids need a separate program from adults. Take today's deadlift workout, for example:


RX'd version: deadlift heavy for a while, rest some but not all the way recovered

Kinda RX'd version: deadlift light for a while, rest some but not all the way recovered

Scaled version: AMRAP in 15ish minutes of: 30-sec. deadlift hold, 5 high box jumps (or jump-and-touch something high)

I don't really want to work out today version: play on the side


From my experience running our Farm System (Babies and Double-A), the jump to the next level always is based on desire. When El started finding the Babies session boring, she jumped to the Double-A; when JB started finding the Double-A session boring, he moved up to the regular group.


Like the article says, the movements in the weight room are just a formalized way of practicing the things that kids do on the playground anyway (though some of our kids told me their recess was cut down to 15 minutes!!), so if you can see me doing heavy deadlifts and JB jumping and touching the highest pull-up bar as the same movements, then I don't see the need for different programming. It's either CrossFit.com or free play.
