Good mornings and sit-ups unbroken again, though it felt a little slow on the sit-ups. Runs had to have been faster this time. Hooh yah LT! RIP.

Eternal thanks to Michael for his sacrifice, and peace to his family.


Subbed 1000m rows for runs, rest rx. Running in our national forest wasn’t gonna happen in today’s 20 degrees and 5” of snow. Sit-ups were unanchored, butterfly-ish on an abmat.


35:34, with 3 ~2 min breaks to transition from basement to garage. Rows were in the low 4 minute range, 59-60 cals, with the final row the fastest.

At gym using mechanical curvy treadmill for the first time which really slowed things down. No GHD machine, put feet on wall and leaned over med ball for back extensions. Sit ups over 2" pad under back. 6am

Thanks for posting some info on Michael.


Sold a GHD? That’s probably my most used piece of equipment, as I do GHD sit-ups and hip extensions every day as part of my warmup.

same as 2022, used air assault runner, 45 degree back extension, this time unanchored sit-ups. Tried to stick to an 8min/mile pace on the runs, which was much more challenging on the second two rounds. Found breaking back extensions ever ten reps helped keep those faster the latter two rounds however.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

An honorary workout. Stamina in the midline showing how much our midline is involved in running. Global flexion/extension.


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT x <-- when it first came out


MEDIUM


HEAVY


STAMINA SCALE

Mush everything together into 1 round


SPEED SCALE

Do each station for time, rest as needed between


I DONT HAVE A GHD SCALE

Sub 50 squats per round, way lower depth than usual if you want


MY STUFF

18:12 as rx'd. Did actual back extensions instead of hip extensions, and anchored sit-ups
