I don’t think that this workout is necessarily a “sprint” but rather a lower to moderate volume workout where the loading and skill demand will require a moderate pace to maintain consistency. I will likely not emphasize fast-paced intensity today, but rather have athletes strive for consistent singles on the clean and jerks while breaking the muscle-ups into smaller sets with short rest periods. Here are some scaling thoughts:


Clean and Jerks: I consider the load to be moderate and the volume at this weight to be moderate as well. This is the same volume as Grace, but with a heavier load, so I will not look for athletes to be completing a lot of unbroken sets. I will have athletes utilize a load that is challenging but allows for consistent singles to be performed. I will likely not need to reduce the volume of this movement for my athletes. This movement is technically demanding but is essentially all about getting the bar from the floor to an overhead position. I will attempt to preserve this function relative to the capacity of my athletes. Here’s an example of a what one rep might look like for an athlete that lacks mechanics: deadlift + hang power clean + push press.


Bar Muscle-ups: For affiliate athletes, I consider the volume of this movement to be relatively high and know that most of my athletes will need to scale. For my athletes that can perform bar muscle-ups, but will not be able to complete the reps per round in 3 sets or less, with short breaks, I will likely cut the volume in half or more. For those that cannot perform bar muscle-ups, I will try to replicate the movement as best as possible based on their current capacity. For some, this may be performing a band-assisted muscle-up from the high bars with the band attached to the foot in the same fashion as a band-assisted pull-up…..this is a difficult variation that can challenge most intermediate level athletes. Another modification, I will use today, is a band-assisted muscle-up with a barbell elevated a few feet off of the floor and secured to a power rack. This is a great option for those that might not be safe attempting banded bar muscle-ups on the high bars with an added benefit that athlete can use their feet to assist from the floor as needed. A simple youtube search for band-assisted bar muscle-up variations will show you both options.

Started the workout thinking it was just Jerks. Had it it in my mind to do 3 at a time. Then, during the first 3 reps it occurred to me it was suppose to be C&Js today! 😂 So +2 Jerks!

Scaled. First time actually doing clean and jerks was this past weekend with PVC pipe at my level-1 class. First time playing on the rings was also this weekend. First actual CrossFit workout was this weekend. And first time at a CrossFit gym was also this weekend. Loved the training. Been doing functional style training a few months , traditional workouts for 5 years. Decided to drink the cool-aid and am getting into CrossFit head first.

Champions Cub Scaling Notes:


RANT:

The range of motion in this workout is the thing that will jump out, and is the reason why the reps are so low; the greater the range of motion, the more fatiguing the movement will feel. But the lower reps are based on your ability to 1) do the weight and 2) clear the obstacle. In other words, the rep scheme is based off good technique. If your technique is not good (unbroken clean and jerks, 1 break at the most for muscle-ups), then break it down a bit and add reps.


I SHOULD TRY THIS AS RX'D IF: as mentioned above, I can go unbroken on clean and jerks and no more than 1 break on bar muscle-ups. OR I want to go For Quality to practice the movements and turn the timer off.


GROUP VERSION: 3:00 clean & jerks, 3:00 rope climbs, 2:00 clean and jerks, 2:00 rope climb, 1:00 clean and jerks, 1:00 rope climb. I also might make it legless rope climbs unless I wanted the ropes drenched in sweaty leg blood.


INJURY VERSION: The global themes here are moving something from ground to overhead, and clearing an obstacle. There are many more micro themes here: core to extremity, jumping, jumping again, deadlifts, lunges, presses, jerks, kipping, pull-up, dip. The global theme requires full capacity to get a good response. So if you don't have the full capacity, pick two of the micro themes and go for stamina/strength. 3:00, 2:00, 1:00 of each.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 8. As written, this would be pretty brutal if you have the capacity to sprint it.

Globo scale: for bar muscleups sub in 2/1 strict chest to bar pullups or 3/1 chest to bar pullups, or hang rings and do ring muscleups. If you don't have bumper plates, do a full set of hang cleans, then a full set of shoulder to overhead, with a heavy weight that you can control. If using dumbbells, sub 70/50lb dumbbells. If 50s are the heaviest available double the reps (men only).

INTENDED STIMULUS

.

This workout is Fran's heavier and more sophisticated step-brother. By that, we mean that it should be a faster workout, closer to a sprint than to a suckfest. In terms of time, we are looking for something around the 8-minute mark. The weight and skill level are high, but the number of reps is somewhat controlled. For the barbell, you should choose a weight you can cycle for 10+ reps unbroken when fresh if you really had to go for it. During the workout, fast singles would be the best strategy for most. If scaling the muscle-ups, choose a modification that preserves the nature of the movement and the metabolic stimulus. Doing singles here is also an option as long as the movement is excellent and the cadence is pretty high --at least 10 reps per minute. If after the third rep you are chicken winging that thing, don't be proud, use a band or do a jumping muscle-up. This is Fran's step-brother because it will remind you of Fran in all its fiery gloriousness, but it will be confusing about which one you prefer. You will feel that cough hovering around, don't let it get you too early. Keep picking that bar up, keep jumping to that bar! Just start!

Is the intended stimulus really a sprint here? At 185# that's usually a grinder weight...if they intended it more as a burner, wouldn't they have used 135#. If cycling 10+ reps unbroken was the objective of the weight selection, then they probably overshot 99% of the audience with 185#. Just another opinion...
