Is it common to drop the weight between each rep? What is the safest way to drop the weight between reps?

Heaviest split! Not a fan of splits, haven’t done enough yet! Then, regular singles: 135-145-145 (145 is my PR. Hit it in the 2020 Open!) First one was a bit sloppy so I didn’t try 155. Instead did, 145 again, but better! F/22/5’5”/135

Globo scale- if you have bumper plates, do this one as RXed and max out. If you only have iron plates, work to heavy singles that you can control on the way down. If you don't have a barbell today then do a heavy dumbbell clean and jerk, to the max heaviest available dumbbells. If you max the dumbbells easily do amrap sets and note reps done in each set.

This rep-scheme will demand an adequate build-up time to allow for 5 heavy sets to be performed. A good guideline could be to have athletes first set start at 80-85% of a 1-rep max before building to max loads.  I will have almost everyone attempt this workout as prescribed, as long a sound mechanics are maintained. Most of my experienced athletes will be coached to achieve near-max on the third or fourth set. For less experienced athletes, I will manage the loads so there are always a few reps left in the tank. Modifying the rep-scheme will only take place if a special situation presents itself, such as injury or for athletes that need significantly more practice with mechanics at lighter loads. 

I will reduce load on remaining sets if an athlete’s technique significantly deviates from sound mechanics or if there are multiple failed attempts.

I will coach a full squat clean today, but it is important to understand that this movement is about getting a load into a supported position and then getting it overhead. If technique is not sound, an athlete can perform the following sequence of movements to achieve this goal:  1. A power clean, followed by 2. a front squat (optional), and then 3. finishing by performing any overhead movement the athlete can perform soundly (shoulder press, push-press, push-jerk, or split-jerk).

SLIPS - 20 min

Feeling weak today, but 140 actually was pretty easy. I probably should have kept going.

285 felt easy enough, but I lost the 305 off the shoulders on the hole. I knew by that, there was no way I was going to succeed any further attempts. Next time.

Champions Club Scaling Notes

RANT

Nothing off the top of my head. Eminem's new album is actually really good, if anyone cares. Took me a few listens to come around.

PURPOSE

Normally I would say to test out our max lift. But considering 1) yesterday made our arms noodles and 2) SLIPS are before, I would say this would probably be an attempt to go pretty heavy but not pr. 1 rep at a time means you don't get as much form feedback, so be on point

NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE

AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

20 hang cleans

10 strict press

20 lunges

GROUP SCALE

As is, I'll probably go with the handstand descent between sets for most people - especially those not going heavy

TRAINING SCALE

Stay heavy and pick one of the two (clean or the split jerk) if the form is off. Most likely it will be heavy cleans (work to max) with light weight split jerk tech. work on the side.

PRACTICE SCALE

Same movement, tons of reps per set, try and let go of the bar on both the clean and the split jerk. That is usually a sign that the timing is good.

INJURY SCALE

Pick two SLIPS you can do (not including stretching) and go at it for 30 minutes.

WARMUP

SLIPS - especially the handstand descents and scales

GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 3

INTENDED STIMULUS

SLIPS

We tend to see SLIPS as things we do to get better at all the rest. And that is the case, the foundations o gymnastics will make you better at moving your own body, period. Today let's change the approach, today let's do drills and exercises that will make you better at SLIPS. Treat your SLIPS practice like you would your clean and jerk.

CLEAN AND JERK

Heavy day! It's been a while since we have done some heavy Olympic Lifting. Today let's have some fun. Go as heavy as you can while mechanics allow you. You might feel rusty on the first reps. Don't let it get in your head, trust your training. We have been building a very solid base of fitness, don't be surprised if you PR today. Now, the Clean and Jerk is a very technical lift, however it is also very forgiving with sloppy technique. That means it is going to be on you to keep your standards high! Remind yourself, the better your technique is today, the more you will be able to lift tomorrow. And in Olympic Weightlifting, longevity is one precious reward. For athletes who struggle with technique in either the clean or the jerk, consider working on the lifts separately starting with the trickier of the two. Athletes new to the clean and jerk should work on progressions to learn them. Experienced athletes can use progressions as sets to develop technique.
