28:55 with front squats instead of thrusters. Felt a weird pain in my right shoulder during the muscle up workout and wanted to give it a rest today. Slow rows today, just not motivated. Singles on cleans but no hook grip used. Mostly muscle cleans.

31:00 RX and that was serious!

Split up the first round cleans/thrusters into three sets

Second round was 8/7 and 6/6

Third round was 9 single cleans no rest

Thrusters were 5/4

With 20# weight vest. Time — 32:24.


This was bad. Real bad. Haven’t been this close to Pukie for quite some time. Did cleans in sets of 3 for the first round, then quick singles in later rounds. Quick singles were better — also didn’t have to worry about the bar clipping the weight vest when lowering the weight. Did thrusters 6-5-4 / 5-4-3 / 5-4; wanted to die. First row was 2:00 pace, but felt weak as a kitten on the other rows (coming off thrusters was “no bueno”), and was 2:15 pace (!) for them. This one reminded me of the old days when I just started out in CF, and a workout would sneak up and sucker punch you.

Commented on: The Hyponatremia of Exercise, Part 11

Very elaborative article. Thank you for that.

Crossfit is a high-intensity sport, with the majority of the ppl doing one hour of intense exercise 3-5/week. Previous data has shown that hyponatremia is not a big issue in team and (certainly not in) high-intensity sports. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20840563.


Why all the precautions then against hyponatremia (part1-11), while most, if not all, crossfitters don't even have the time to drink, let alone overdrink in a standard CrossFit class? The example used here in the sport of triathlon, might, in my opinion, not represent the potential dangers in a high-intensity sport like CrossFit.


Thoughts?

Thanks Gommaar for your questions. The focus of this series was not so much on what CrossFitters should be drinking but rather to expose the manner in which science can so easily be corrupted by commercial interests that run counter to the needs of the athletes. And which can perhaps, as in this case, have long term lethal consequences.

Let's take another example. I am sure that many CrossFitters are inundated with "evidence" that high intensity exercise cannot be sustained without very high carbohydrate diets (>500 grams carbs/day). I was a great proponent of this belief for 33 years. My devotion to this belief was fashioned in no small way because I honestly believed the evidence showed that.

But also because our research was funded by companies that benefitted from any of our findings that would drive that belief amongst athletes. Ultimately we ended up using that money to prove that sports drinks were almost certainly unnecessary - at which point we, perhaps not unsurprisingly, lost that research funding from the sports drink industry. When I personally lost faith in carbohydrates as essential for all exercisers and potentially harmful for the health of many, I suddenly lost all the rest of my funding!

So the point perhaps of this series is also to show that when commerce becomes involved in scientific research the scientists will almost always lose their ability to remain independent. So what they say and write must be very carefully scrutinised. The industrial capture of the medical profession is now so advanced that it's almost impossible to know how to distinguish what is true from that which is commercial propaganda.

In my future series I will be addressing some of the other medical myths that the public have been led to believe are the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But which have been carefully fashioned purely to sell products, many of which are either of no or little value or are frankly dangerous.

Thanks Dr. Noakes.

This is so important to have the information and misinformation but more importantly the science behind it so we can understand it and pass it on.

Seeing the other times made me feel better. Went 95# to save an injury and focus on moving. I can do 135# thrusters but that would add 5 more minutes, minimum. Coming off that rower is rough.

Whenever I see a workout that prescribes “cleans” I take it to mean that the lift is taken from the ground to the shoulders in any fashion, whether it be a squat clean, power clean, or muscle clean. I will teach and instruct a power clean today, as this will likely be the most efficient, for most athletes, while also complementing the thruster and row to a large degree.


Cleans and Thrusters: I consider this to be a moderate weight and moderate volume for each movement, however, the combination is brutal! I will recommend loads that my athletes could potentially perform 10-15 reps in a row, even though I probably won’t recommend performing unbroken sets of 10-15 in the workout. This general guideline should allow for a fair amount of consistency and intensity throughout the duration of the workout with also achieving the goal of utilizing a moderate load. During the latter portion of the build-up time I will have each athlete show me 3-5 reps of each movement, with their intended working weight, to assess if the loading is accurate for the goal of the day. For newer athletes, I may reduce the reps as well as the load.


Rowing: I will have many of my athletes complete the entire distance, each round. In some cases, I will use time guidelines to assess when reducing distance may be beneficial. For example, no longer than 10:00 on the 2000 meters.

Eric, I typically find your comments so on point. This is no exception. You get down to the salient points and the address the purpose of the WOD and are great at explaining the WHY to the modifications. We ALL have weaknesses and some movements are easier than others. Addressing how to modify, when and why to modify are EXCELLENT. I am good at usually going pretty much Rx always, but as a light small guy I might lower the weight to keep the pace up a bit. Also these movements zap me quickly so to keep up a decent pace I will probably go to either 115 or maybe even 95. I'm about 135 so 135 is not bad for power cleans but for thrusters it is a doozie for me. I'd be probably going for 3s on thrusters and that's not a good option for lots of reps really.

Looking to get my hands on basic Fitness and Nutrition lecture slide decks (CrossFit methodology) to present to a group of at-risk youth boys, aged 15-18. I and four other adult volunteers run a Boy Scout Venturing Troop at an in-residence county probation house. We emphasize basic scouting tenets, but weave that in with all the activities we do with them. We try and give them some life skills — we spend meetings teaching things like home repair and maintenance (e.g. plumbing, drywall repair, electrical, power tools). We do things like basic car maintenance, knot tying, tool care and safety, first aid, etc. We just started a unit on playing Chess. We take them camping, hiking, to a therapeutic ranch to learn about horse care & riding. I want to add a couple sessions to talk to them some about fitness & health. Talk them through the two-dimensional WCABTMD fitness chart, where area under the curve represents fitness, and that they need to be doing all types of fitness activities, i.e. GPP and being prepared for the unknowable. And then adding the Z-axis (age) to show them the 3-dimensional “sheet” corresponding to health. And talk to them about nutrition, and how the old food pyramid was all wrong, and what they should be eating (something along the lines of Zone), and the dangers of sugar and high glycemic food (ala the cheap white carbs).

My guess is there are some of those type of PowerPoint slide decks already in existence, and I would certainly appreciate not having to reinvent the wheel.

If you could help, please send any decks you have to me at: tails192 at yahoo dot com

Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

My guess is that a powerpoint might not exist since slideshows aren't used at the L1. Do you have to use Powerpoint? The study guide for the level 1 is open source. If you're not charging them for the information, you can probably print the material off and give it to them and just have an open conversation about it. Coach also has some videos of him giving these lectures on the old Journal. Again, if you're not charging, you can probably just play his lecture(s) and you take care of the QA portion. It's not perfect but it seems like the quickest way to disseminate the information.

Also, have you considered a "field trip" to a grocery store? Just a few ideas.

Good luck.

INTENDED STIMULUS

.

¡Ay maldito! That is Spanish for this is just like 190506, only worse. In CrossFit when we have a descending rep scheme the aim is always to go faster at the end. We want you to be riding that threshold line where you are about to max out, but you never do. Today pick a distance and a weight that allow you to do exactly that. We don't need to pace or strategize that much here. The rep scheme is there to do that for us. We want to start at a sustainable but challenging pace on the first round. A pace we will able to keep on the second and the third if only because of the reduction of reps. This should hurt and sting. This is a longer effort. We want to aim for the 20-25 minute window. If you did 190506, use your notes to adjust your scaling optimally for this workout. Modify the distance in the rower if you don't think you can get those first 2000m done under 9 minutes without dying. Pick a weight that you can manage for the big sets with at most 2 short breaks per movement, on the first round.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT:

Again, whenever I see “cleans” I think full squat. At a heavy weight like this that would be really rough, so I understand if you want to go power clean. Anyway, this is Just a Workout. The motto is live to workout another day.


I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: Man… good question. I’m sure there are plenty of people who can do this as written. Whether they should or not depends on what you want tomorrow’s workout to be like.


ORGANIC SCALES:

Strength — less distance on the row — more of a sprint effort — and add some rest.

Stamina — as is (full squat), just lower the weight so you can go unbroken on barbell stuff

Endurance — scale weight and distance rowing so you can be moving most of the time

Flexibility — full squat on cleans, go lighter and hang out down there for a bit (on tension, though)


NEUROLOGICAL SCALES:

Coordination — do all reps of the barbell movement without moving your feet and without having any stops in movement

Accuracy — set a goal for your last 500m and try to make that your average pace for the first two rowing efforts (or running)

Agility — the cleans and thrusters cover this a bit

Balance — pause on bottom of clean and top of thruster


GROUP VERSION: 3 rounds of run 800m, 21/15/9 of barbell movements for simplicity’s sake


WARMUP:

The first 2k on the row. Oh wait, that’s the lazy affiliate owner’s warmup, my bad!

Jump rope — always

Squat — prep for both movements

Box jumps — landing prep

Kip — lots of compression in the workout, let’s hang out overhead


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 7.

I know back in the day “clean” meant squat, same as the weightlifting community. However for as long as I’ve been following mainsite, squats will be specifically called out. Otherwise you can pick your own variation.

I agree with Sebastien. All us OGs still read clean as "squat clean", but that's clearly not what's intended any longer.
