“Action is the fundamental key to all success.” – Picasso

There is no substitute for action. This is not breaking news.

Everyone has big plans. Big aspirations. The blueprint to “get there”. As integral as it is to have a plan, this is the easy part. And it’s where most stop, because it’s about to get hard.

A famous old American cartoon, “G.I. Joe”, finished every show with a saying: “Knowing is half the battle”. Despite the right intentions behind it, we recognize now it’s a false statement.

Knowing is not half the battle.
It’s not even a quarter.
It’s the first 10%, if that.
Action is 90%.

DESCRIPTION

Today’s Body Armor piece is focused on the muscles of the midline and posterior chain

After 20 seconds of active movement, we’ll complete a 10 second isometric hold

Since we are alternating muscle groups every 30 seconds, do you best to move/hold for the entire duration

Compare notes to 4/14/20

HOLLOW HOLD

The hollow hold can be modified by bending knees and/or keeping arms by sides

GLUTE BRIDGES

Glute bridges can be done with feet elevated, or flat on floor

Elevating the feet will create more of a challenge

Pick a number from the beginning that you think you can hold throughout

Enter your lowest round number as your score

For Example: If your rounds went 10-10-10-10-10-9-9, your score for the day is 9

“I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living, or get busy dying”. – Andy Dufrense, The Shawshank Redemption

Last week, we thought through the meaning of how “Crisis” is written in Chinese. Two symbols, translating to “danger”, and “opportunity”.

A third word to add comes from the Greek “krisis”, where the English word originated from. In Greek, “krisis” translates to “choice”.

Adversity will change us, but *how* it changes is us the “krisis” – the choice. Are we choosing to learn from our challenges, leading to wisdom, growth, and depth? Or do we choose to become hardened and bitter?

Danger, Opportunity, Choice.

DESCRIPTION

“Nasty Dozen” is a twist on an old school CrossFit Benchmark workout that balances weightlifting and gymnastics

Choose weights and variations that allow you to complete 3-4 rounds over the 12 minutes of work

This works out to a round every 3-4 minutes

STRICT PULL-UPS

Within the workout, this should be a station you can clear in 1 minute or less

Adjust reps or choose from another variation listed in “subs” to match that recommendation

DUMBBELL POWER CLEANS

One head of the dumbbell makes contact on the ground outside of the feet for this movement

There is no prescribed loading, as everyone has different dumbbells available at home

Ideally, we’re clearing this station in 1-3 quick sets

If you only have heavy dumbbells, you can bring the reps down to something like 7

If you only have really light dumbbells, you can increase the reps to something like 14 or 21 to get the right stimulus

DESCRIPTION

Sets begin every 90 seconds in this lower body focused Body Armor

Start Times: 0:00-1:30-3:00-4:30-6:00-7:30

One set is considered to be the weighted complex + the unweighted complex (42 total reps)

Alternate legs after every set for a total of 3 each side

It is your choice on loading for the weighted portion

Choose a weight that you are able to complete unbroken each set – opting for speed over weight

Elevate your back leg on anything between knee and hip height (counter tops, chair, bench…)

If you do not have any loads, not even a backpack to hold, complete all unweighted sets

Compare notes to 4/13/20

Nasty Girls (Time)

3 Rounds for time of:
50 Air Squats
7 Muscle-ups
10 Hang Power Cleans, 135# / 95#
DESCRIPTION

“”Nasty Girls”” is an old school CrossFit Benchmark workout that balances weightlifting and gymnastics

Times for this workout range from about 6-12 minutes (2-4 minute rounds)

Choose weights and variations that allow you to complete the work within that time frame

RING MUSCLE-UPS

Within the workout, this should be a station you can clear in 1:30 or less

Adjust reps or choose from another variation listed in “subs” to match that recommendation

HANG POWER CLEANS

Looking to move a barbell that is on the lighter side of moderate

When you’re fresh, this is a weight you could complete for 21+ reps unbroken

Within the workout, the 10 reps are ideally completed within 1-2 sets

Strategy

AIR SQUATS

Determine your speed on the air squats based on how comfortable you are with the ring muscle-ups

The more confident you are on the rings, the faster you can cycle these squats

If you know you’re going to take a few breaks on the rings, slow down your cycle time to make sure your breathing is under control for the more challenging movements

RING MUSCLE-UPS & HANG POWER CLEANS

Having good self awareness of your abilities on each of these movements will help you determine the best strategy

Envision what you can realistically hold for sets in round 3 of the workout and do that from the beginning

Especially on the muscle-ups, it’s better to be conservative early and speed up later than it is to start hot and gradually slow down

Breaks tend to be a lot shorter when they are pre-determined as opposed to unplanned

Keep in mind there will be some interference between the two movements – as both involve an upper body pull

Consider the following sets for ring muscle-ups:

1 Set: 7

2 Sets: 4-3

3 Sets: 3-2-2

4 Sets: 2-2-2-1

Consider the following sets for hang power cleans:

1 Set: 10

2 Sets: 5-5

3 Sets: 4-3-3

There is no rest between the first couplet and the second

The workout flows as follows:

Your score is the total time it takes you to complete the full workout

We expect this piece to take around 10-16 minutes to complete

DUMBBELL MOVEMENTS

We’re looking to use one dumbbell weight for both movements

This should be a moderate set of dumbbells that allows you to complete 21+ reps unbroken on each movement when fresh

On the power cleans, only one head of the dumbbell has to touch the floor on each rep

If you’re modifying to a single dumbbell movement, complete the rep scheme as 30-20-10 to make up for the lighter weight

Your workout will end when you have completed 100 jumping lunges

Count each jump as 1 rep (50 each side)

Over the next few weeks, the height will stay the same and the percentages will increase

Use 50% of your 1RM Back Squat for all 10 sets today

MOVEMENT FOCUS

BOX SQUAT

The box squat is designed to utilize more glutes, hamstring, and back than the traditional back squat

We’ll break this movement down into 4 parts: Stance, Down, Sitting, and Up

For the stance, we want to take a wider stance than usual to help pin point the posterior chain more

On the way down, think about sitting back slowly so the shins are vertical instead of dropping straight down

We want to briefly pause in a sitting position to take away the stretch reflex of the movement instead of just bouncing off the box

The goal is to be explosive as possible on the way up to our standing position

DESCRIPTION

A new round starts every 5 minutes in this interval workout (0-5-10-15)

You’ll quickly work through the stations listed and rest with whatever time remains until the next round begins

We’re looking for these rounds to take 4 minutes or less to complete so you have at least 1 minute to recover

The order of the dumbbell movements flip flops in rounds 3 and 4

Record your time for each of the 4 rounds – as your score is the total of these times added together

DUMBBELL MOVEMENTS

In order to maintain the faster paced stimulus of these rounds, choose weights that allow you to complete each dumbbell station unbroken

This should be a moderate set of dumbbells that is challenging, but manageable

Here are some things to consider:

Clean and Jerks:

Only 1 head of the dumbbell has to touch the floor outside of the feet in the bottom

You can push press or push jerk the dumbbells overhead

Demo Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J89uaXArNvg&feature=youtu.be

Devils Press:

This movement is a combination of a dumbbell burpee and a double dumbbell snatch

The chest should make contact with the floor on each rep

Swing the bells overhead without pausing at the shoulders
