This is a useful and interesting paper that does prove a point, but the authors could have at least had one one or more control subjects. The improvements in the patient's score could be due to just learning to take the test. Hopefully this paper will lead to funding for further studies.

Champions Club Scaling Notes

RANT
So I'm not exactly sure where I'm supposed to feel it on the Sots press, but I was feeling it just about everywhere. Even my eyeballs. I stayed at 15 lbs. and did 10 reps or so each set. I also did an 800m sprint (instead of the row) before the Sots press because I knew I wasn't going to go heavy. This is a movement I would do as maybe a warmup for a group, and only as my main workout if I had an advanced athlete doing one-on-one training or something.

PURPOSE
Constantly varied. Unknown and unknowable. Like the TGU, it's important to touch these odd movements sometimes.

NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE
5 rounds, run 200 meters, anywhere from 3-15 overhead squats (lighter the weight, more reps)

TRAINING SCALE
3 rep max overhead squat instead of Sots press.

PRACTICE SCALE
As is. Add reps if staying light.

GROUP SCALE
Probably not Sots press. We'll spend some time on it though. Depends on how far behind we are to see if we skip this entirely or modify it somehow.

INJURY SCALE
Pick one movement that is kind of odd/something you don't do often and practice it for 15 minutes. Then pick one monostructural movement you can do. Add time or distance if you can't go fast.

WARMUP
PVC OHS
Handstand
Pull-up
Candlestick roll
Jump rope

GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 5. An all-out 500m row sucks no matter what

Globo scale: if without bumpers scale as necessary to allow good form and control on the way down.  This is a fairly difficult movement, so warm up with a PVC pipe or barroom stick.  Dumbbell sub single arm sots press or double dumbbell ohs.  Start much lighter than you think on these as well.   For the row, sub a 400m Sprint or 30/45 calorie assault bike if a rower isn't available.

Warm up for 200213:
GENERAL WARM-UP

2 rounds of:
200-m row
10-m high knees
10-m butt kickers
10 leg swings per leg
10 walking lunges with PVC pass-through
10 squat therapy reps

SPECIFIC WARM-UP

Sots press:
Use the following progression with a PVC pipe or an empty barbell. Perform 5 reps of a behind-the-neck snatch grip press from each position.
Standing
Seated above parallel
Seated below parallel 
Squat with heels elevated
Squat

Build-up
Complete 5-5-3-3 sots press, gradually increasing in load each set.

Rowing
“Cut the cake” Drill
3 full strokes
Recover with arms away and rocking over
Pull with arms and back only
> Perform 5 cycles of drill, plus 30-sec of normal rowing

INTENDED STIMULUS

This a strength day! You might not move a lot of weight today, but that does not mean it is not strength day. Let's start by clarifying. One thing that people often confuse is mobility with flexibility. They are not the same thing. Flexibility is the ability to reach ranges of motion. You know how you cannot extend your arm overhead and then pull it back; you know that point when it feels like there is a wall of dead meat between your shoulder and your spine that is just in the way? Yes, that is a lack of flexibility in the relationship between your shoulder and your spine. Now, think about that friend you have that is super flexible but is always feeling pain, and his joints are always shaking and going farther than he needs them to go. Yes, that is flexibility with no control. Both you and your friend lack mobility. Mobility is the conjunction of flexibility, strength, and balance. Mobility is what you want to be fitter.
You want to be able to achieve reasonable ranges of motion with control and safety. Our movement today will require a lot of mobility. Hence it will develop it. Now, don't go right into the bottom of the squat and try to press out, that will not work very well. Start with some behind the neck presses with solid mechanics, and then add depth slowly, stop at the point when you cannot press with proper mechanics, and spend a lot of time there today, right at the edge. Check our video for ideas on how to do this. Remind yourself of one thing: more mobility = less restriction = more autonomy. That's what you want.
On the 500-m sprint, there is exactly one option: all effing out.
