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.

14 rounds even. 50lb DB, after first two rounds, I switched to strict body weight rows, so I could keep my pace up. Still a struggle. My arms and shoulders haven’t felt this pumped in a long time. That was more of a gasser than I anticipated.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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!
