Scaled weight to 65# 16:42 Disappointed with the time, last time at 65# did it in 14:50. BUT form was much better, focused on internally rotating shoulders and fought to keep them from rotating out, very difficult. Legs were just dead for the runs.

17:50 scaled 55# OVHD Sqt *went lighter to work intensity. Really want to work strength, but, a good CF'er once told me: 1st technique & skills, 2nd intensity, 3rd increasing loads. My HR was averaging too low during my metcons and so I am scaling back weight to work on higher intensity, HR and speed/power.

First round 5-5, & then, I thought “nah, I’m not picking it up twice every round!” Unbroken after that! Really happy! Broke toe was taped!

Many thanks, Jim. This seemed like an appropriate thing to do today, especially since I wear a camo for a living. From WODWell, a 9/11 tribute WOD: For Time 2001 meter Row 11 Box Jumps (30/24 in) 11 Thrusters (125/85 lb) 11 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups 11 Power Cleans (115 lb) 11 Handstand Push-Ups (I did these to an AbMat) 11 Kettlebell Swings (24Kg) 11 Toes-to-Bar 11 Deadlifts (115 lb) 11 Push Jerks (85lb) 2001 meter Run Finished in 39:54. Swapped the order of the run and row as we only have one rower at the work gym. Did the push jerks at 85 lbs as it was easier to math that way.

I was curious what the workout was on 9/11. I looked up the 010911 WOD and here is found: Ten rounds for time of: 5 Pull-ups 5 Push-ups 5 Squats (free-squat or "air squat") 5 Sit-ups (on Roman Chair/Glute-Ham Developer) 5 Back Extensions No cheating, super-clean technique. That could be an interesting tribute as well. We will never forget and we will move forward! Get after it!

This is a classic benchmark workout that utilizes light loads to test endurance, flexibility and stamina.  Faster times will be under 12:00-13:00. I will try to scale most athletes so that they do not exceed 17:00-18:00. However, being that this is a benchmark test, if an athlete wants to attempt this workout as prescribed, and will take upwards to 20:00, I will allow them to do so. Here are some other scaling thoughts: Run: If an athlete cannot complete 400 meters in under 2:30 or so, consider scaling the distance of the run. Overhead Squat: If the athlete cannot complete all 15 overhead squats unbroken, on all rounds, consider scaling to a load that allows them to do so. Being that this is a benchmark test, all athletes will perform some form of an overhead squat. This will allow them to gauge progress in the future, when this workout is retested. If needed, I’ll even have athletes use a PVC pipe and/or elevate the heels slightly which will allow them to keep a more vertical torso in the squat. Resist the urge to change this movement to another squatting variation. Here is a lesson plan I have used in the past: General Warm-up 2 Rounds of: 200m Jog 10 Cossack squats 5 Inchworms with a push-up 10 Spiderman crawls 5/5 Windmills 0:30 Reverse gip hang from the bar Specific Warm-up- With PVC 10-20 PVC pass throughs 10 Air squats, slow 5-10 “Waiters" overhead squats 5-10 Overhead squats Build-up 10 Overhead squats with an empty barbell 3-4 sets of: 3 overhead squats with a 3-second pause in the bottom *Run 100m after each set. **Athletes can build to loads slightly above the intended work weight for the day, but should not deviate from sounds mechanics. ***Athletes can also practice performing a squat snatch on the first rep from the ground to maximize efficiency in the workout. Cool Down 500m Row, easy 1:30/1:30 Couch stretch 1:00-2:00 Foam roll upper back

INTENDED STIMULUS . Sweeeet! Learning day. If you did not do 190907 go and check out our post for that workout. Today is such an awesome day. We get to do a classic benchmark and compare our result with our previous attempts, and also with what we did a few days ago. Just like we said for 190907, this is a fun fast workout. It is meant to be a non-stopping workout: from the bar to the bar without breaks. On the same token, the workload for both wods is almost the same. This all implies that if you find a big difference between your two performances, then you found a hole in your fitness that you should address. Is your stamina weaker than your aerobic capacity, or vice-versa? Does the increase in weight kill your legs? Is it the number of reps? The answer to all these questions will tell you a lot about your capacity. Today we want that feedback. Whichever scaling option you choose for 190907, keep it equivalent today. Commit to no breaks! . OPTION 1 5 rounds for time of: 400-m run 15 overhead squats Load range: 55 lb. - 80 lb. OPTION 2 5 rounds for time of: 300-m run 15 overhead squats Load range: 35 lb. - 55 lb. OPTION 3 5 rounds for time of: 200-m run 15 overhead squats Load range: 30 lb. - 45 lb.

Champions Club Scaling Notes RANT: There are a few benchmark workouts that are really difficult to treat like benchmarks because of the movement demand. So say you can’t do 95-lb. overhead squats because you’re inflexible; doing 15-lb. bar overhead squats for 15 reps probably won’t get you the stimulus that’s intended for something like this. So this is where it’s important to remember that squatting is squatting; front squats, back squats, goblet squats, dumbbell squats, and every else are all legit. And so it going really really slow, or even a static hold. I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I can go under 20 minutes GROUP VERSION: I’ll probably mix both heavy and tempo in place of OHS when people can’t. So if you aren’t doing OHS that feel heavy, then we’ll go slow goblet, front, or back squats. Runs are modified based on cadence. I’M ONLY HERE ONCE A WEEK AND THIS IS THE DAY VERSION: as is, especially mixing in the other kinds of squats INJURY VERSION: Upper-body version — sub 25 one-arm dumbbell snatch for ohs Middle-body version — bike 1:00, handstand hold 1:00, alternate for 5 rounds Lower-body injury — I’d turn this into a For Quality session breaking down the OHS. So 5 rounds slow of: 15 seated dumbbell press, 15 strict knees to elbows WARMUP: Jump rope — always Handstand — overhead squat prep Hollow rock — midline prep for running and ohs PVC OHS — obviously [insert thing you suck at] GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 7

Nancy is a great workout, but not exactly what I was expecting on 9/11.

Considering that HQ is pushing for more international involvement it isn’t surprising. There are plenty of hero wods posted out there you can choose from. I made my own: 9 rounds for time 55 double unders 11 kbs 11 burpees 55 for those that died in pentagon, 9&11 are obvious, two other movements for the twin towers falling since both are up down. Can move through it pretty fast. 25:50 was my time.

Globo scale: as Rx. Control the bar down to the ground after each set if using iron plates. If your gym bans overhead squats do 15 front squats 115/75lb. If you are without a barbell today do 10 OHS left handed then 10 OHS right handed per round, 35/20lb dumbbell. If overhead movements are banned, do 15 front squats, 50/35lb dumbbells. Subs for running are 500m row or 22 calorie assault bike.
