Followed Acevedo's SLIPS guide. The parallette progression was hard going and I managed little more than attempts. Good to have something to aim for.
Felt tired so focused on form increasing reps and reducing weight.
@home, subbed push press, E2MOM, and did SLIPS
worked up to set of 5 with 44# dumbbells

...should’ve worked some mobility and handstands...
Did Juan’s SLiPs first, culminating in 3 l sit to shoulder stand back to l sit. Then did Bryan’s warmup but skipped the rowing and did 10 pushups to down dog instead of side plank.

GRIT loves SLIPS! Core strength, balance, and flexibility are so crucial to success for our athletes. As always, I'm borrowing from Chris, Bryan, and Juan for today's plan.
2 sets:
10 Front scale leg lifts R // Light banded press R
:30 Front scale hold R // Light banded OH hold R
10 Front scale leg lifts L // Light banded press L
:30 Front scale hold L // Light banded OH hold L
2 sets:
10 Back scale leg lifts R // Light banded row R
:30 Back scale hold R // Light banded row hold R
10 Back scale leg lifts L // Light banded row L
:30 Back scale hold L // Light banded row hold L
* Spice up the banded press/row for athletes with SCI by sitting on a box or on the floor!
** There will be so many different variations on these - too many to list!
We'll be warming up with (abbreviated and simplified for time/transition today!)
2-3 sets:
15 band pull-aparts
12 alternating band press (one hand anchoring the band by the hip, the other pressing overhead)
10 air squats // chair dips
Then break up to set up for SLIPS.
After SLIPS, they'll get ready for jerks/seesaw press.
A couple of our standing athletes will work through those push jerk progressions
5 reps of jump and land
5 reps of jump and land with thumbs on shoulders
5 reps of jump and land with punch up
5 jerk “lands” with PVC overhead
10 push jerks with PVC
If they're on the right track, but not ready to add weight, they can always do press or push press for load and then practice the jump-and-land with or without the pvc between sets.
Most of our standing athletes will do single-arm push press, using the other arm for balance - holding on to the dip bars. Most seated athletes will work DB seesaw press for load.
Push Jerk // DB Seesaw Press
5-5-3-3-3-1-1-1-1
* For those still building ROM,
5-8 sets of:
10 seesaw press
:40 core hold (front rack hold, leg raise hold, etc.)
Going to be a great way to kick off next week! And then Wed/Thurs, we're taking those overhead squats outside - it's supposed to be 60 and sunny here in Omaha!

And another significant factor may prove to be the modern diet's perturbation of the normal balance of dietary omega-6:omega-3 fats from a ratio of about 1:1 in antiquity to more than 17:1 today. The current heavy reliance on omega-6-rich 'healthy vegetable oils' (which are neither healthy nor vegetable, but rather industrially processed seed oils, rich in linoleic acid) has not only altered the raw materials available to build neuronal cell membranes, but some research suggests the shift may impact/disrupt normal glucose handling by the brain.

Not strong today. Shoulder's bugging me a bit.
Nice, a retest that is almost a year to the day. The rest of the commentary that follows is mostly a repeat from what I posted last year:
This rep-scheme allows for plenty of time to practice and refine mechanics as well as building-up to near-maximum singles. Most of my athletes will attempt this workout as prescribed, as long as mechanics are maintained. If you did this workout last year, attempt to beat loads lifted on all sets. In a class setting, my experienced athletes will be coached to achieve near-max loads on the final set of 3 reps and the final set of 1 rep. Here are some potential guidelines for an athlete that knows their 1-rep max push jerk:
Set 1: 70%
Set 2: 75%
Set 3: 80%
Set 4: 85%
Set 5: 87.5-90%
Set 6: 90-92.5%
Set 7: 92.5-95%
Set 8: 95-97.5%
Set 9: 97.5-100% or potentially a new PR effort.
These percentages are general guidelines. Athletes respond differently to the same percentages, so I know I will need to still be hands-on with loading adjustments.
For less experienced athletes, I will likely remove the sets of 1-rep and have them continue to perform sets of 3 reps at sub-maximal loads. This may provide them with opportunities to continue technical development without a huge focus on the load.
As with all heavy days, I will reduce load on the remaining sets if an athlete’s technique significantly deviates from sound mechanics or if there are multiple failed attempts.
This movement is very technically challenging. For this reason, even if I have athletes that really struggle with this movement, I will keep them at light loads to work on refining range of motion and mechanics. However, there might be special situations where I modify the movement to a different shoulder-to-overhead variation. The shoulder press and push press are both viable options, but I see my use of these movements as being very infrequent today.

I attempted 115 for 3 couldn't even get one, then attempted 115 for 1, couldn't get it. Sucks cuz last time I did single heavy push press I hit 130. I think maybe my CNS was a little taxed, especially after SLIPS

HELL YEAH! Skills and heavy day, today is a party. How is that SLIPS project coming along? Are you making sure your practice with this protocol works for you? Having the opportunity to have dedicated time for developing the skills that SLIPS stands for is effing awesome. Use it. In today's option, there is another cool idea you can try.
Now let's talk push jerk. This is a technical movement. Think of it as a mini snatch, but only because the range of motion is shorter. Treat it like you would your snatch. The initial position matters, the dip and the drive matter, and the catching position matter. If you habitually starfish the receiving, today focus on squatting more than you need to on your earlier sets. If you shift your weight forward on the dip, focus on a smooth descent right from the very first rep. Be anal about your technique here, knowing that that will allow you to lift more in the long run. Today, don't have a set objective for load. Instead, play this game. While the mechanics are proper, keep adding weight. If, during a set, things get shaky, repeat the same weight on the next set. Keep yourself accountable. How far can you make it? Athletes entirely new to this lift can use our option below to learn the movement, and then add as many sets as possible practicing the movement at loads they can control. Athletes developing technique can work on sets of three instead of singles.
Today's mantra: push and squeeze!

I always appreciate your SLIPS recommendations! Even when SLIPS days don't make it into our 2-a-week rotation at GRIT, I save them for bonus finishers when we have time.
Globo scale... If you have a rack and bumper plates do as Rxed. Otherwise go for really heavy singles that you can control on the way down back to your shoulders. Do this one from the rack if possible. You can sub dumbbell push jerks if that's all you have, focus on technique, and do AMRAP sets if you max the available dumbbells. SLIPS as Rxed.

Love that New to CrossFit scale - those are always helpful when planning for my athletes who are still working to regain range of motion, grip strength, etc.
