My press to handstand must be limited by form because the last inch or two is not getting any slower.

Injured back. Was not going to do these, but after my other two workouts I decided to go light on the jerks and barely split. I didn’t go above 195, so I will leave it at that.
Have a great Sunday!

Commented on: Dysregulation of Hypothalamic Gene Expression and the Oxytocinergic System by Soybean Oil Diets in Male Mice
It's frightening that calories taken in from industrial seed oils (mainly soybean oil) have surpassed meat calories in the US. And the uptick in soybean oil consumption almost perfectly mirrors the startling rise in obesity in the US. And this article traces the biochemical/physiologic roots of the problem.

Globo scale: If using iron plates build to heavy singles that you can control. Set pins up in the rack, or just know your limits. A great time to practice and perfect your split jerk technique. If using dumbbells today use the same rules, sans the rack. If you max out the dumbbells do AMRAP sets or multiple fast singles. Another option is to practice split jerk technique then do split jerk stance strict presses with the dumbbells. SLIPS as rxed.
Being a coach is weird because sometimes I really feel myself like, "yeah man, I really understand this stuff." But then I realize that if I was really sweet, I'd be one of the athletes I'm looking at right now; they're the ones doing the work! Other times I'll be like, "yeah I see the athletes are working, but look at this gym! I've been doing something right." And this temporary experience after temporary experience (combined with those from coaching sports) is the foundation for my ego as a coach.
So I'm currently going through the Level 1 this weekend for the 3rd time in my CrossFit career, and I will say that I am still as humbled by the coaches I see now just as much as I was in 2010 for my first one. These dudes are pros, for real. Joe DeGain has a presence when he coaches and presents that acts like gravity. How much of that is due to the fact he could twist me into a pretzel remains to be seen. Andrew Charlesworth is a basketball-playing Pat Sherwood both with sense of humor and the instinct when to keep it simple and when to nerd out. Jen Charlesworth (I assume she took his last name) can flip from being casual to serious as well as anyone I've seen.
I get so immersed with the Champions Club that I don't always take the time to see beyond the Mt. Rushmore people like Kelly, Carl, Romanov, etc. and notice how many good coaches CrossFit attracts across the board. I want to be as good as humanly possible at this thing. And having been coaching around some very high levels of basketball, and decently high levels of football and track, I can say without hesitation that CrossFit is by far the toughest competition. The top tier coaches in this community are just on another planet of quality. The Level 1 gives me a nice 2-day reminder of that every freaking time.
PURPOSE
Same as a few days ago, just switch pose 2 from semi overhead squat to semi overhead lunge
NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE
Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:
:30 L-sit
6 split jerks (alternating leg)
TRAINING SCALE
As listed; sets of 5's and 3's probably offer more raw development, but I sure feel a pump after 1 rep maxes too.
PRACTICE SCALE
Switch feet, add tons of reps.
GROUP SCALE
As is, a SLIP or two in between sets
INJURY SCALE
If it's a lower-body injury then you can do strict or push press. If it's upper body then do the New to CrossFit Scale just with 1-arm dumbbell split jerk. Alternate legs you freaking robot!
