I stopped the Parkinson's medications prescribed due to severe side effects and started on natural treatments from VineHealth Center (VHC) in California, the herbal treatment has made a huge difference for me. My symptoms including tremors disappeared after the months long treatment! Go to ww w. vinehealthcenter. c om. This treatment is simply amazing!

James Madison on human perception and the challenges and necessity of precise definitions: 

The faculties of the mind itself have never yet been distinguished and defined, with satisfactory precision, by all the efforts of the most acute and metaphysical philosophers. Sense, perception, judgment, desire, volition, memory, imagination, are found to be separated by such delicate shades and minute gradations that their boundaries have eluded the most subtle investigations, and remain a pregnant source of ingenious disquisition and controversy. The boundaries between the great kingdom of nature, and, still more, between the various provinces, and lesser portions, into which they are subdivided, afford another illustration of the same important truth. …

Besides the obscurity arising from the complexity of objects, and the imperfection of the human faculties, the medium through which the conceptions of men are conveyed to each other adds a fresh embarrassment. The use of words is to express ideas. Perspicuity, therefore, requires not only that the ideas should be distinctly formed, but that they should be expressed by words distinctly and exclusively appropriate to them. But no language is so copious as to supply words and phrases for every complex idea, or so correct as not to include many equivocally denoting different ideas. Hence it must happen that however accurately objects may be discriminated in themselves, and however accurately the discrimination may be considered, the definition of them may be rendered inaccurate by the inaccuracy of the terms in which it is delivered. And this unavoidable inaccuracy must be greater or less, according to the complexity and novelty of the objects defined. When the Almighty himself condescends to address mankind in their own language, his meaning, luminous as it must be, is rendered dim and doubtful by the cloudy medium through which it is communicated.

Here, then, are three sources of vague and incorrect definitions: indistinctness of the object, imperfection of the organ of conception, inadequateness of the vehicle of ideas. Any one of these must produce a certain degree of obscurity.

This workout is a lower-body blaster! I think that faster athletes will be around the 15-minute mark while trying to complete this workout in under 20:00 is a great goal. If you are completing this workout at home, without all of the equipment, consider substituting a thruster with a lightly loaded backpack or perform jump squats if there are no items available for a thruster. For the box jumps, a tuck jump will be suffice. With a little creativity, most of these workouts can be replicated to a large degree. Here are some scaling thoughts:

Walking Lunges: I consider this to be a relatively low volume of walking lunges but will be made to be difficult due to the other movements. I will have nearly all of my athletes perform this movement as prescribed. I will scale the reps, and potentially the range of motion, on an individual basis, if needed.

Wall-ball Shots: I consider the volume of this movement to be fairly high, with an additional challenge of completing these reps after performing lunges. I will have many of my athletes attempt this movement as prescribed, throwing a 20/14 pound medicine ball to a 10/9 foot target. I anticipate that I will need to reduce the reps, load of the ball, or height of the toss for a lot of athletes to maintain consistency and range of motion. I will likely do this on an individual basis. I will also give some time guidelines or limit sets to complete the reps on each round. For example, spend no longer than 2:30 on any round of wall-balls or only allow 3 sets to complete the reps on any round.

Box Jumps: I consider the prescribed height to be moderately high. I will have athletes utilize heights that will allow for the 30 reps, in a round, to take no longer than 2:30-3:00 to complete. For some athletes, a box jump of just couple of inches can be a major achievement. Beyond reducing the height I will also reduce the reps for those where the volume is too demanding. I highly recommend NOT using a step-up today.

I attended the level 1 course in Cardiff this weekend, coaches were great and the weekend as a whole was very in depth and a great insight into seeing things more technically and breaking everything down. Would recommend to anyone who has an interest in CrossFit and wants to learn a bit more about the sport they are in

30 wall-ball shots 14# to 9 feet

Chris, Steven and Juan, thanks for the at-home/no-equipment options.  They're very useful for many at the moment.

And a short rant.  CrossFit HQ, please wake up!  If you want your daily email to be worthwhile, please make it more relevant and more appropriate.  At the moment, HQ should be focusing on home-based workouts.  And the additional information should be about something that's extremely relevant today; delay Elements of Science and the ketogenic diet until later.  For many small businesses, COVID-19 is likely an extinction level event.  Any suggestions for boxes coping?  I've been going to my box five days a week for six years, but as a 70 year old male with asthma I stopped going two days before our county recorded its first case.  My box has been very proactive but emergency declarations have shut down some boxes already and will likely shut down many more in the future.  HQ: I hope that you've considered what boxes can and should be doing and what athletes can and should be doing and that you share that information.  If you can't and don't then I have to ask what is your value added?  End of rant.

We all had a fantastic weekend in Cardiff, learned that we didn't really know what we thought we did and so much more. I can't wait to share this valuable knowledge. We also couldn't have asked for a better leading team; Andy, Oakley, Jonny and Davs were all great. Thank you!

Thanks Nolan,Wesley and Drake for a great weekend at CrossFit Twente for the L2 course.
Super vibe with the other coaches and learned a lot from the Staff and got good feedback that i can use.  
Keep up the good work.
And now a greater challenge with the lockdown of all boxes in the Netherlands.

What a great course!! Thank you Crossfit. It was great spending time with people from the Crossfit community in Cardiff. The course was delivered by coaches (Davs, Oakley, Andy and Johnny) who combined superb knowledge with infectious energy. I think I’m already moving better, and can’t wait to help others do the same!

The course in Cardiff was a great, super fun weekend of training and learning with like minded people. Oaks, Davs, Andy and Johnny led it superbly and made it a great experience.

저번 주말 한국 코치분들 정말 수고 많이 하셨습니다! 

RX:14'24''.The Quadratus lumborum_R sprained yesterday.
https://youtu.be/eZ7SnXzqAVY

With this series we are getting an unprecedented look 'behind the curtain' of the method by which the fitness system we now know as CrossFit was developed. It began with an understanding of the scientific method and what therefore naturally proceeded as a first step was the definition of key terms. For example, fitness was defined as work capacity across broad time and modal domains. It was at this first step in the scientific method, the definition of terms for meaningful scientific discourse, where academic exercise science failed. The academy’s attempts to understand the basic science of human movement, exertion, adaptation etc. have been random, disjointed, largely based on conjecture and can be characterized as a pursuit of the almighty 'consensus'. I look forward to reading the rest of the series because with each Element of Science we explore, it will be largely uncharted territory for academics like myself.

Champions Club Scaling Notes

RANT
The only thing I have not wrapped my hear around since 190101 with the programming is the low-volume lunges. I also would not quite call them a rest station in this workout, but they were almost one. I was obviously not complaining during the workout but I am just wondering if I'm missing something with the lunges prescribed today or the As Few Steps As Possible stuff.

PURPOSE
Showing how a triplet can be a short burner.

NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE
As is, maybe lower the box so you can touch-and-go on the jumps (keep feet together though)

TRAINING SCALE
For more stamina, try 1 round but combine all the reps.

PRACTICE SCALE
Rest 1 minute between rounds, see if you can keep the same time for each round. Also feet together on jumps and use a spot on the box for a target same as you would for the wallballs. I'm a fan of touch-and-go box jumps - even if you don't get full extension - as long as you block for position with the feet together.

INJURY SCALE
Pick three movements with either your upper body of lower body that will not directly tire the next movement out (eg. push-ups/ring rows/dumbbell snatch). Do an AMRAP in 15 and pick reps that would be a lot but you would not have to break up.

GROUP SCALE
Should be good on this one. Squat jumps could sub for wallballs if you were concerned with people sharing equipment.

WARMUP
Squat
Jump rope (double under)
Handstand
Pull-up
Hollow rock

GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7

Globo scale: sub 15/20lb dumbbell thrusters for wallball shots.  If you have those step things, use them and build a box with those.  

At home wod: sub 30 stationary lunges, 30 burpees for wallballs and 30 tuck jumps or 30 kb/db swings 35/50(53lb) for box jumps. 

Welp, my box closed.  So I am in the same boat as many of you. 

fim de semana incrível, muito aprendizado obtido, ancioso para por em prática!

Is this a pick a weight and height for the wall balls?

On today’s date, my son and I Austen completed the practical portion of the Level 1 course at Ferncreek CrossFit in Louisville, Ky.  Besides the great bonding I did with my son, the course was excellent and so were the in coaches, Joe Degaine, Becky Harsh and Kolin Theede.  Though they held us accountable the 2 days, they did make us feel welcome and comfortable which made for a great learning experience.  
This was a recert for me and it really made my coaching game better!  Thanks for all you coaches did for us this weekend!

INTENDED STIMULUS
.
¡Ay bendito! This is a mental and a muscular grind. The mind will whine, the muscle too. You have one task: note it and move on. The sets for both wall-balls and box jumps are large. The lunges are there to give your lungs a break while keeping your legs nice and toasty. Choose a load for the medicine ball that allows you to get all sets done with at most two very short breaks --one is better. The height on the box should not stop you at all. This is about staying methodical and moving. Aim to get this workout done in the 15-18 minute window. Before you start, make sure you get your mindset game right, you will need it. Today: keep moving!

In Crossfit, we are always striving to be prepared for whatever life throws at us.

If you are afraid that no-gym access means less fitness, that's a problem. You are too dependent on your gym.
.
Regardless of who you are, you can get fitter with little or no equipment. Being able to work out and train hard independently from space, equipment, or context will make you fitter.
.
Let's take these difficult times as an opportunity to ground you, to make you feel part of a world bigger than yourself, and to expand your fitness.
