8 rounds plus 2 reps rxd. Definitely about the push presses -and the cardio as always. Used gymnastics grips which made large sets of pull-ups impossible but saved my unshaven callous skin for another day.

M/ 45/ 135 lbs/

10 rounds for n just over the time cap.

I used 75 lb DBs but only 115 lbs for PP. All pull-ups done butterfly & unbroken.

I did this at a y’all rack so the pull ups were on a slippery grip and that got my grip smoked a bit. Surprised that the DB DL was not too bad at all actually. The PP was the hardest by far. My shoulders were done at the end, and my grip. I started to use wrist wraps after the 6th round.

Towards the end I was doing more PJ in the later reps of each set.

Great workout.

My wife attended an L2 3 month ago in Boise and it was miserable, (her words). I attended one this last weekend thinking it was going to be an awful experience, but it was quite the opposite. The other students were awesome and the instructors were top flight, first class. I’d like to thank Matt Chan’s wife and Chris Spealler’s friend for an awesome class. The knowledge was amazing and very helpful. Thanks Cherie Chan and Eric (big calves) O’Connor!

Strict, kipping and band assisted pull-ups felt terrible, therefore went with jumping pull-ups.

Had a great time at my L2 in CF Eado. Our red shirts were very great at pointing out things we can fix to make our athletes we coach better. Abi, Zach, and Peter y'all (Texas word) were so positive and strict. I think an L2 needs to be strict because we need to perfect our craft that we're teaching and showing our athletes. If we have small deficiencies and issues with conveying what is being taught then an athlete may have difficulty learning and understanding a certain movement. Also thanks for taking the time to talk on the side about all our curious questions.

I enjoyed all the people there. Everyone was so much fun to hang out, work with, and have a good workout with this weekend.


Abi: with the biggest smile " I have 84 things you can fix"

Peter: "that wasn't good, that was terrible. Stop saying good"

Zach: flexing on the side!!!


Haha love y'all!!! (All exaggerated of course) except Peter he really meant that!

Definately should have read the "intended stimulus" bit before doing this over... Due to equipment limitations, I did 10 pu, 5 DB deadlift @75lbs, but then also used the same 2 DBs for the push press. BIG mistake! Constantly had to test to get those done. Got 8rds + 4 pull-ups, will probably try again...

I went to my CF-L1 in Hamilton, NY at CrossFit Hamilton and it was a great experience. The gym was so clean and well organized and my instructors Pablo, Sarah, Jenn and Jon were just awesome. They were all so engaging during their lectures and in the break outs they were personable and gave the best advice that my coaches haven't pointed out. We also hung out after the first day and drank a beer and got to know them personally. I feel like I will not only be a better coach but a better athlete. Thank you!!!

Had a great experience at the Level 1 Seminar in Hamilton, NJ at CrossFit Hamilton this past weekend. Having been through academia, and other training courses related to health and fitness, I can say the Level 1 has been the most comprehensive and actionable of anything I have done in the past. This course provided actionable techniques, methods, and opportunity to begin tuning the "coaches eye" that other courses tend to leave behind. Great work by the staff, Pablo, Sarah, Jenn, and Jon did an incredible job as instructors, coaches, and teachers. 10/10 would recommend. Thanks staff!!

8+4 - Sc, subbed 11in (3 45s stacked up) Deficit 53lb KB Deadlifts, which put the top of the handles just under the top of the stack of plates. All else was Rx, just didn't have 75lb dumbbells.

CF-L1 at CrossFit Hamilton this weekend was an amazing experience. Not only did it help me to hone my technique and skills by practical application of certain movements, it also trained me to help correct faults more efficiently for others. I can’t say enough about how amazing the level one training staff were. Their expertise helped me to comprehend the information given in a short amount of time. On day one just walking in the door for registration, they made you feel a part of the CrossFit community. The training staff are not only experts at their craft but they are also amazing people trying to make a difference. They succeeded at that task this past weekend at CrossFit Hamilton !!! Thank you so much Pablo, Jenn, Jon, and Sara for an unforgettable experience ! Keep making a positive impact on people through your training expertise and your compassion !

This workout will accumulate a fairly high amount of volume as higher level athletes will accumulate 13+ rounds. Strive for unbroken sets on all movements and relatively fast transition times. With that being said, being that this is a Hero Workout, give this workout a shot as prescribed even if the loads are heavy for you and the reps are challenging. Just ensure safe mechanics. Here are some scaling thoughts:


Pull-ups: For athletes that can perform the rounds unbroken or with 1-2 short rest breaks, I will likely allow them to complete this movement as prescribed today. For athletes where their max capacity for pull-ups is less than 10 reps, I will likely reduce the reps per round to achieve. With that being said, if this athlete wants to attempt this workout as prescribed, I will allow them to do so today.

For athletes that cannot complete pull-ups, I will have them alternate rounds of completing jumping pull-ups and ring rows. For example, on round 1 they will perform jumping pull-ups and on round 2 they can perform a ring row.


Dumbbell Deadlift: I consider the load to be moderate and the reps should be able to be completed unbroken on each round. I will have athletes reduce loads to achieve the goal of the day. This movement can be hard to set-up with a flat back position, so I will elevate the dumbbell or plates or a box to a position where the athlete can start with a sound set-up position.


Push Press: I consider the load to be moderate and 8 reps to be challenging but completed unbroken on almost every round. I will have athletes use loads that allow them to achieve the goal. If an athlete has a goal to complete this workout as prescribed and this load is heavy for them, I will allow them to do so today as long as they are maintaining safe mechanics.

Mainsite team, I am thinking of treating this Hero as an opportunity for acknowledging and accepting (being honest) with where my heart is regarding my training.


Am I training with a clear conscience and a warm heart? Am I doing CrossFit with a meaningful purpose?


Many attitudes can obstruct clarity in training and warmness of heart.


If I can be aware of a natural intention to do good things by training (achieving Fitness for myself, promoting its benefits to others, being an example of whats possible) then I am ok.


On the other hand, Am I worrying? concerned about how my oerformance will stack to others? Am I trying to diminish/beat someone ? Am I being oblivious (not counting, misscounting) ? Am I in a rush to finish this set?


Can I be more aware of my body, still be fast, and not be in a hurry?


Can I remember my deep and noble purpose for training throughout all day today?


How are you treating this workout differently than other workouts/benchmarks?

Great pure comment. Yes I also try to train and be pure in the movements but also in the intent of the workout. Scaling is fine to always keep the purpose and aim of the workout. A workout like this should be scaled to allow for a constant challenge but also difficulty to maintain moving but while being able to probably finish off each set unbroken or close. I like to keep my mind on challenging myself not others. If I can be fitter today than yesterday then I have won. If I can move better and be stronger and faster then I am winning.

Keep your focus and keep on grinding.

Best

Globo Scale: As rxed. If you are doing this in Planet Fitness or a hotel gym, use the heaviest dumbbells possible up to the RXed weight. If all you have available are 50's and are a male, up the deadlift reps to 10, then do 8 push presses with the dumbbells. Women can go ahead and use two sets, 50's and 35's (unless the gym frowns upon that, if so go ahead and use the men's strategy, with 35lb dbs). Hotel gym sub for pullups are 15 dumbbell bent over rows 35/50 lb dbs, or 20 bodyweight rows hanging from the treadmill arms, railings, or another stable, safe object.

The whole weekend was fantastic and our instructors were just a wealth of knowledge! I was blown away by how amazing Pablo, Sarah, Jenn, and Jon were. They answered any and all questions and were the best examples of how coaching and community in Crossfit should be. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend!!

It was amazing to hear all their OG Crossfit stories, and all their experiences of Crossfit and how it as evolved! I learned so much from them, I can’t wait to use it all in my coaching! I loved how passionate they both are about not only CrossFit but helping others!! I hope one day to be at the level they are. I loved how they are such close friends, it made the coarse more fun, and an amazing atmosphere!! Loved the stories!!

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

I didn't test this out yet, and I don't remember how it went when I did this last time, but I do know that the numbers and equipment is going to be the most tricky part of this (other than, you know, the actual effect the workout has on you). I'd look to simplify and keep the entire workout with one set of dumbbells and no bar. So that would mean some adjusting on the rep scheme.


I SHOULD TRY THIS AS RX'D IF: I can go unbroken on the first 3 rounds and want to honor Ricky.


GROUP VERSION

AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

10 pull-ups

15 dumbbell/kettlebell push press

20 dumbbell/kettlebell deadlifts

*lighter weights, obviously


FIRST TIME WITH CROSSFIT VERSION: group version, but if pull-ups are a problem do a bar hang of sorts each round


INJURY VERSION

Themes are: pulling, squatting, pushing, jumping, midline stability, global flexion/extension, Just Finish It kind of mentality. Pick three movements on there and go for 25-30 minutes. Might be better to keep it lower reps and higher weight/increased difficulty if possible.


WARMUP

Squat - deadlift/push press prep

Jump rope - always

Hollow hold - push prep prep overhead

Kipping - pull-up prep

Hip extension - deadlift prep


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7. Maybe worse. Looks okay on paper, which means it's probably worse.

I learned a lot more about crossfit and each movement with their mechanics and technique. The coaches were amazing, very friendly and nice, and really caring and enthusiastic!

INTENDED STIMULUS

.

Hero WOD! These workouts are an opportunity to train for something bigger than yourself. Before you start your workout today, spend two minutes thinking about how can your training make someone else's life better. Ok, now let's look at this beast. This is a nasty piece that should make you work on your endurance capacity. The aim is for a sustained effort. You want to get a healthy number of rounds within these twenty minutes. You want to be closer to twenty than ten here. The number of reps on the loaded movements is meant to allow you to keep moving without the need to break for at least the first fifteen minutes. The load for the deadlifts is light, but the added range of motion the dumbbells will make you work harder. Prioritize your position here; your back will thank you tomorrow. Choose a load that gives you feedback, but that gives you no excuse to stop. On the push presses, choose a weight that is on the heavy side but that you can cycle confidently. If you want to stay true to the nature of this workout, go from the ground with those push presses. For the pull-ups, modify the number of reps or the movement to something you can consistently get in one or two sets with very little rest. The aim today is to create a context in which you practice enduring. The skill we are training is that of keep moving when everything inside you wants to stop. We are training your resilience, your grit. Make sure your scaling is such that it gets you that place. ENDURE!
