Rx 8’22’’ Si hay que bajar de los 5’ como dicen algunos, que baje Dios y lo vea....😃

been a long time since i've done cross-fit. nonetheless.... 95lbs x 15 continuous power snatch straight to thrusters. rest 3 minutes. Second set, 10 continuous power snatch, rest 5 seconds and the last 5 power snatches. 10 thrusters, 10 second rest, 5 thrusters. rest 3 minutes. Third set, 10 continuous power snatch, rest 5 seconds and the last 5. 10 thrusters, 10 second rest, 5 thrusters, complete. Looking forward to this workout coming up again with the goal of continuous straight through on power snatches and thrusters with a 2 minute rest between rounds. To hell with running HITT or not (unless it's something from cross-fit), cross-fit is absolutely gratifying. Of course, I did back after using cross-fit as my cardio/warm up. good to be back

Ouch, this workout looks dirty! I’m coaching my athletes to go light and move fast on this one. Here are some thoughts on scaling: Power Snatch- I consider the prescribed weight to be light. I will utilize loads with my athletes that will potentially allow the first round to be completed unbroken and the subsequent rounds to be completed with minimal rest breaks. This is the first time performing snatches this year. Be sure to spend plenty of time working on technique with a PVC pipe and an empty barbell before starting the workout. Due to the snatch grip, some athletes may have difficulty maintaining a mechanically sound position on the initial pull from the floor. In this situation, performing a hang power snatch is an acceptable alternative. Thruster: As with the power snatch, I will utilize loads with my athletes that allow this movement to be performed with minimal rest breaks. I expect this movement to be harder than I initially anticipated as the snatches done prior will fatigue the shoulders and hip extensor musculature. Newer athletes may benefit from reducing reps on both movements, as well as the load, and keep the primary focus on mechanics.

It must be emphasized that bias can be unconscious, and that just as judges recuse themselves from cases for conflicts of interest, so, too, should medical researchers.

Alex I’d say from the floor. In my opinion. It would say hang power snatch if they wanted us to “hang at the knees”

Intended Stimulus . This is a short to medium range workout. Both movements have a big range of motion, both movements demand you generate a lot of power quickly. This will get metabolic right away. Manage your effort so that you can keep moving continuously. Today, prioritize the number of reps over the load, let's work on that stamina! If you can handle both movements with good mechanics, adjust the load so that you can perform all sets with at most two breaks and with very short rest periods between. The purpose is to breathe fire, and you don't want the load interfering with that. Athletes with no experience with these barbell movements or that are still developing mechanics can choose the dumbbell version of this workout. OPTION 1 3 Rounds for time of: 15 Power Snatches 15 Thrusters Men: 95 lb. Women: 65 lb. Note: Sounds light? Go unbroken, prove to yourself that it's too light. OPTION 2 3 Rounds for time of: 16 Alternating Dumbbell Power Snatches 16 Dumbbell Thrusters Men: 35 lbs. Women: 20 lbs. Note: Adjust weight as needed. . Check @dotcomscaled on Instagram for some considerations on how to scale

Do they want these to be hanging or from the floor for the power snatches?

Globo scale: as is. Use plates to bring the weight up to the proper height if not using bumper plates, or do a low hang. For those with dumbbells only, it's 15 db thrusters, 16 alternating db snatches 50/35 lb dbs. For all: control the barbell. Pretend that you have iron plates on your bar, and bring it down with control at the end of your sets (no dropping). No singles on the snatches. Obviously bail if it is an emergency.

Champions Club Scaling Notes STIMULUS: “HUUGGGGHHHHH… ****!” That was my reaction when I first saw this one. Why? Because it looks really easy on paper. And laaaaaaaawd have mercy the ones that look the easiest on paper end up being the worst. This one is going to be a burner, plain and simple. Adjust the weight so everything can be unbroken, and even adding the stipulation of Unbroken or Done can make this “much more better,” as Cap’n Jack Sparrow would say. The exception would be if the technique is not there; in that case I’d increase to 21 or 25 reps per round — assuming the intensity and weight will be lower. Volume — meaning repetitions — is one of the best ways to improve coordination. I’d go that route instead of adding rounds because of what’s called “blocked practice,” which talks about the value of doing one rep after another after another after another. The more reps in a row, the more feedback you get. GROUP: Hang snatch will be the default for most people I’m assuming, and there’s really no problem keeping it at the hang one, two or even three years into CrossFit depending on how consistent and flexible the athlete is. If there’s an equipment shortage I see a few options: 1) have some use dumbbells for snatches or thrusters, especially if there’s big weight difference in what they’re capable of or 2) go in heats. Usually I would not go for option 2, but if there’s enough people in the session to keep the energy up then the workout should be quick enough to make it happen smoothly. WARMUP: - since it’s cold and a short workout, make sure to go through quick enough to get a sweat; it’s more important here than in a longer workout Kipping handstand push-up — upside down thruster Kb swing — core to extremity and overhead for both movements Box jump — prep for power snatch Squat — prep for thruster L-sit — more cowbell?
