19:35 as rx’d as possible (12’ legless from butt off floor, pistols to 12” stack of pads. Muscle snatches switched midair. Took lots of breaks throughout. Had exposure to cat hair and dust yesterday so I was up multiple times last night with asthma...I think I will feel it for a while-as evident by how I felt doing this workout.

Monster mash. No rope, subbed x5 L-sit/strict pull-ups for each climb. Pistols to 14.5" plate stack. 24 kg KB snatch, x30, x20, x14, x10 reps for those only, other reps as RXd.
14:07.
Decided to scale down the reps on the snatches after having to take 2 breaks in the first round to get to x30, adjusted the rest from there. The pull-up sub started as L-sit, ended as strict.
Modified:
5 jumping pull-ups & 5 hanging knee raises for each rope climb.
15kg DB snatches, alternating every 5 reps
Squats to to 50-cm bench

Changed the order of squats and snatches by mistake, making the latter a bit more difficult (grip).

Goal <20; hoping <18. Slowed down a lot on Rd.3-4. Maybe I started too fast.
Also - all snatches were full-range from floor, back to floor, then switch. No hang.

Go Green! :)
So looking forward to the Rogue Invitational!
Globo scale: for rope climbs, sub 5 towel pullups per rope climb. If you can't hang a towel sub either 5 one handed pullups with the other hand gripping the wrist, 5 L sit strict pullups, or 10 strict chin ups per rope climb. Pistols sub some sort of one leg squat variation.
Busy gym: Do all reps of the pullup variation first, then the Pistols(or scale/sub) and dumbbell snatches as Rxed.
Bodyweight/equipmentless sub: hang a towel from something sturdy for the towel pullups, or use one of the other subs. For snatches sub 1 "reverse burpee" for every 2 snatches, withoutthehandstand at the end.
RX:12'39''.

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
Nothing to rant about
WORKOUT THEMES
Medium weight and medium duration. Squatting and jumping with unilateral loading, pulling with more emphasis on strength then skill, also stamina playing a factor but not enough to decrease intensity
MAIN DECISION
Practice day or game day?
TECHNIQUE SCALE
Turn off the timer, as close to prescribed as possible
CONSISTENCY SCALE
As listed, just do all the dumbbell snatches/pistols on one side before moving to the other side, not alternating. Sub strict pull-ups for rope climbs if needed.
INTENSITY SCALE
Sub rope climb with legs and lunges.
INJURY SCALE
Upper-body - 50-40-30-20-10 lunges and dumbbell snatch
Lower-body - 20 minutes practice of: legless rope climb, pistol
MY STUFF
For quality, I almost got a pistol on my left side!
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 5
Great workout 13:10
