16.4 Is Upon Us

Open workout 16.4 is officially upon us!  For the most part we knew these movements were coming in some way or another, and many of you even predicted the chipper-style format.  This should be a fun one, and we're looking forward to another awesome "Open Saturday" at Arena Ready.

16.4: What's It Gonna Be?

We'll find out at 5pm on Thursday, along with the rest of the CrossFit world.  The live head-to-head battle immediately after the announcement of 16.4 features the reigning CrossFit Games Champion, Katrin Davidsdottir, and third-place finisher, Sara Sigmundsdottir, so it should be a fun one to watch.  Join us at Arena Ready for the live stream, and as with previous weeks, if you're not able to make it in on Saturday for the Open you're first shot at completing the workout will be on Thursday evening at the 7pm Gladiators class.  

Wall balls? Box jumps? Deadlifts? Handstand push-ups? Overhead squat? Will they save the thrusters for 16.5?! 

I wonder if they got my email suggesting a trivia element or critical thinking AMRAP...

10 Things That Require Zero Talent

When I was a teenager I had a basketball coach that had some, shall we say, unique methods.  I'm sure that anyone who grew up like I did with a few hard-nosed coaches can relate to some degree... kissing the gym floor because we should be grateful we get to practice in such a nice facility, screaming random SAT words to confuse opposing players when trapping on defense, no one goes home until the entire team makes consecutive free throws without missing, throwing you out of practice or punishing the whole team if you wore any color that resembled a rival school's uniform (I once got an earful and "caused the entire team to run suicides" because I wore socks with tiny purple stripes on them along with my red and blue practice jersey).   

Back then we all thought it was a little funny and a little scary (not that we would ever admit that second part at the time), but we mostly concluded that he was just a crazy old dude who knew basketball really well and told stories of the old days when he "took Kurt Rambis to the rack and threw it down" (come on Coach, we all know it was probably a back-door cut and a proper lay-up or finger roll... fundamentals, kids!).  Now that I'm older I look back and think he was onto something, and I'm grateful that he forced some discipline on me and taught me to value and respect a mastery of the basics.  He had a dusty frame on the wall in his office that I never really paid much attention to as a kid - in fact I had forgotten all about it until recently I saw a similar poster hanging in another CrossFit gym.  I read it and thought to myself, "Huh, old Coach knew some stuff after all."  The poster read:

These Require ZERO Talent:
1) Be on time
2) Work ethic
3) Effort.
4) Body language
5) Energy
6) Attitude
7) Passion
8) Being coachable
9) Doing extra
10) Being prepared  

I immediately looked down at my ankles to make sure I wasn't wearing purple on my socks.  Let's just say if Coach were there that day then everyone would be doing burpees.

Lessons Learned as a CrossFit Affiliate Owner

Brian Strump, owner of CrossFit Steele Creek, recently wrote a post titled "6 Lessons I've Learned in 6 Years as a CrossFit Affiliate Owner" which I thought was quite spot-on.  In general I usually find these types of posts/articles uninteresting since many of them are written by gym owners with whom I cannot empathize, generally because (by the sound of their reflections) their experience has been far different than my own.  This one I can actually relate to, and I thought maybe some of you would get a kick out of reading it as well.  

Click here to read the entire article (it's a quick 2-minute read) if you're interested... and if not, I'll simply leave you with one of my favorite excerpts (those of you who know me might actually think I wrote this... just swap "dog" for "daughter" haha):

Lesson 5) If You Have OCD, think twice- Many that know me, and those watching from a distance will see that I have many obsessive-compulsive tendencies. Fortunately, between aging and my daughter I’ve gotten better. However, this gym will terrorize you if you’re anything like me. It’s a good thing that it’s so much fun to just go back and talk to members so I don’t spend every waking minute trying to maintain order.

16.3 Monday Reminders

Thanks to the talented artists of Arena Ready for highlighting another fantastic Open Saturday at the gym.  Brian C documents so many of our athletes' badass accomplishments in his film above, pairing PR moments with my favorite AR Open film soundtrack thus far... Maps by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.  So awesome.  I love this video.

And, of course, Jenny's lens captured dozens of amazing shots from Saturday, showing the full range of emotion from a rainy day of PRs, near-PRs, smiles, cheers, screams, and babies.  As always her work is stellar, and her pictures tell such a great story of our community experience.  Have fun not working at your desk for the next hour and click here to view her entire gallery (more embedded shots coming to the blog as well).  So good.  AND CONGRATS TO YOU TOO, JENNY, FOR YOUR FIRST EVER BAR MUSCLE-UP!!!   

In fact, I lost count of how many people got their first bar muscle-up this weekend (and/or first time doing multiple reps in an actual workout) - I think it's somewhere in the dozen-plus range.  Just as in years past (e.g. 15.3, 14.4, and 13.3) Arena Ready athletes once again show that A) a high percentage of your gym can and actually should participate in the Open; and B) a dedicated group can overcome some of the most challenging obstacles (in this case, movements) when said group supports and and encourages each other passionately.  If you consistently worked hard this last year you were likely rewarded (or at least encouraged that you will soon be rewarded), and it was fun to watch that moment happen over and over again for so many people.  Props to all of you who busted ass to get it - coming in to the gym, working with the coaches, putting the time in on the drills and positions, trusting the process.  Enjoy the PR and welcome to the club... next up, work to make them better while moving on to the next movement you're going to crush! 

A couple of reminders:

1) Your 16.3 score is due by 5pm (Pacific Time) on Monday.  You must submit your score on the CrossFit Games website, as we cannot enter it for you (we can only validate it once it's been entered).  DO IT NOW!

2) If you were not able to complete 16.3 during any of the Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday times (and you are officially entered in the Open) your last chance is on Monday during the added 1:00pm OR 2:30pm time slots (please sign-up for "The OPEN" classes on the schedule as you would for any other class, and expect to do the workout and also judge another athlete).  Performing 16.3 during Monday's morning (6am, 7am), noon, or 4pm classes is not permitted.  Thank you for your attention!

WOD for 03-14-16:

16.3 Thoughts & Strategy

16.3 brings us yet another curveball for the 2016, a movement we've been anticipating in the Open for several years has finally arrived for the first time - the bar muscle-up!  As with the last two weeks (and for the next three) we'll be running heats of the Open workout during all of our Saturday morning classes.  Please watch the standards video above and read the workout info here before coming in on Saturday to do the WOD - since our Saturdays during the Open are not our usual coached/structured classes, you'll need to know what you're up against (to some degree) before coming in for the self-directed warm-up and heats of the workout. 

Much like 16.1 and 16.2, this workout creates opportunity for success, PRs, and lots of fun with potential "first ever" accomplishments.  As with last week, we'll try to spell out the categories of competitors, and hopefully give you some pointers for how to approach the workout and impress yourself.

For athletes at every level, please be conscious of your grip (just as we mention in class every time a kipping movement comes up in a workout).  Accidentally letting go of the bar is no laughing matter.  First and foremost, hang on to the bar securely (we suggest wrapping your thumb around the bar) and be conscious of whether your hands are slipping off.  If they even might be, take a break, shake it out, and get back up there when you've recovered.

 

Category 1: Power Snatch 75/55 lbs?! Yeah right. 

This category will likely be comprised of newer athletes, who have not yet had a lot of time to work on power snatches.  If 75/55 lbs is just not going to happen safely, then scale to the 45/35 lbs listed in the scaled version of 16.3, and, if officially entered in the Open, get a set-up for jumping chest-to-bar pull-ups (as well as a coach to show you how to approach the movement without smashing your face into the bar).  If you're not officially entered in the Open then we suggest 5 jumping chin-over-bar pull-ups, which elicit nearly the same metabolic response (read: they will get your heart rate dialed up almost as much) without running the risk of smashing your face into the pull-up bar.  

 

Category 2: Bar Muscle-up?! Yeah right.

If you're in this category, and are still working on un-assisted chest-to-bar pull-ups and/or dips, you're probably fairly certain that your torso's not going to make its way above the bar no matter what Jedi mind tricks you employ.  If you're in this category, but can power snatch the 75/55 Rx weight then get your official 10-rep Rx score, and immediately thereafter continue the workout by scaling the Bar MUs so you can keep moving for the full 7 minutes - we suggest 3 chest-to-bar pull-ups OR 5 chin-over bar pull-ups as your Bar MU scaling, and prefer it to the 5 jumping chest-to-bar pull-up standard (that's a great way to increase your chances of breaking your teeth, and since you've already banked an Rx score and won't be submitting a scaled score, we think it more productive to work your pull-ups in whatever version you're able to sustain at this point in your CrossFit career).    

 

Category 3: Power snatch? No problem. C2B and dips? No problem. Bar MU? Houston, we have a problem!

If you were at the gym on Thursday night for the initial Open heats you may have witnessed the multiple first-ever bar MUs that occurred (congrats, Lisa G and Sparkle!).  You may be next!  If you have the pre-requisite strength and shoulder mobility, then it's just a matter of learning the technical pieces involved in putting your body in the correct positions (yes, easier said than done... but entirely possible for many of you).  Watch the video we posted in yesterday's blog ("Mastering the Bar Muscle-up"), read the points that I (Rob) posted in the private Arena Ready Facebook group on Friday (under Brianne's thread which lists the 16.3 workout movements), and then come in to the gym early on Saturday so that you can spend some time with a coach and/or experienced athlete in the warm-up area working on nailing that first successful rep.  This is what the Open is all about - clawing your way to those first-ever reps which unlock the door to eventual mastery of the movement. 

 

Category 4: Power snatch? No problem. Bar MU? No problem. Bring it, 16.3!

If this is you then it's likely that you don't need too much of our help, other than some reminders about pacing and technical considerations for maximizing efficiency.  For the top-level competitors this will be 2 minutes of a brisk, "fast-ish" start pace (not all out, not slow), 3 minutes of maintaining a "race pace" (a steady level of constant movement that rides under the redline), and then 2 final minutes of a suicide pace (go like hell and try to hold on for dear life).  Competitors who are proficient with the movements in this workout, but are not necessarily Regional hopefuls, should breakdown a reasonable goal and map-out the pace required to get there (e.g. 6 rounds = 78 reps, roughly one round every 1:11 - 1:12 including transitions).  From there one can build-in slightly faster rounds in the first 2 minutes, moving to slightly slower rounds in the middle 3 minutes, and then plan to fight like a dog for negative splits in the last 2 minutes.  Write it down, put some thought into it & be realistic, and then sell-out to stick to it.  Keep your rest strict and on the clock, not by feel - doing the latter will have you resting more than you need since your mind tells you lies when things get hard.  Lastly, remember a few things:

1) Hook grip the snatches from the start - this is a grip-tastic workout for competitors doing 5/6/7+ rounds.  Tape your thumbs and the middle & top sections of your pinkies (trust me on that one).  Open your hands for a split second at the top of each snatch rep to relax your grip a bit and take a breath (re-hook on the way back down).  Let the barbell come straight down as close as possible to your chest when going touch-and-go, since even a minor swing away from your body taxes your grip with every rep.  Internal rotation mobility (with a LAX ball or KB) during the warm-up can help with this.  Don't rush the snatches - smooth and steady is key, and for most of you a baby power snatch is the way to go (versus a muscle snatch).

 

2) Tape your hands or use grips for the bar MUs.  If you rip then it's game over, both for continuing the workout with any decent pace or for trying it again.  Don't be a dummy or a hero - we provide tape for free for goodness sake, so use it.  Don't know how to tape your hands?  Oh boy.  Go to Arena Ready Archives and search "hand care" for the blog posts that cover it - or if you're lazy just watch this video.    

 

3) Know thyself on the bar MUs.  Are you a ninja?  Well then 3 unbroken is the way to go.  If, instead, you know that 2-1 or three singles will be what you need to do then stick to it, and keep your rest strict (remember, on the clock or count it out).  Whatever you do, DON'T MISS.  Or at the very least minimize misses.  This may mean that you have to leave one or two in the bank on a few sets, but doing so saves you time in the end, since missing reps wastes more time and energy than a successful broken set does... no matter which way you slice it.      

 

4) Don't fall off the pull-up bar.  Maybe this should be number 1.  Seriously.  If you're swinging into another rep and thinking to yourself "I think my grip is going a little" then come down to shake it out for a bit and rest - it's not worth it.  We've seen everything from people flinging off the bar and slamming on their back, to people landing on their head, to someone actually breaking their back (none of which happened at AR thankfully, but still those things all happened).  You know what it feels like "when it's not quite right" going into a rep, so don't ignore that signal - it will eliminate some missed reps, will leave some successful reps in the bank, and will keep you right-side up.

Brian Documents 16.2 & 16.3 Is Upon Us

Brian C worked his magic once again and documented 16.2 at Arena Ready this past Saturday.  Check out the awesome video below which captures some of the great moments by our athletes.  Thank you so much, Brian!

16.3 is officially upon us, so if you are gong to be completing the workout this Saturday at Arena Ready please start by reviewing the workout details here and watching the standards video below - thanks!

For those who are still working on mastering the bar muscle-up here's a good video covering some of the key points when learning the movement:

WOD for 03-11-16:

With a Partner For Time*:

5000m Row. Switch every 250m, exactly.

 

*For every meter over 250 when the counter stops, there is a 2-rep Wall Ball penalty (e.g. if the counter stops at 256m the team owes 12 Wall Balls). 

*For every meter short of 250 the team owes the difference plus 5 AbMat Sit-ups (e.g. if the counter stops at 247m the team owes 8 AbMat Sit-ups). 

The penalties accumulate and must be performed at the end of the 5000m row.  The team's time includes the time required to complete the penalty reps, which can be divided/shared in any fashion.

16.2 Thoughts and Strategy

This is another awesome workout - please watch the standards video above and read the workout info here before coming in on Saturday to do the WOD during our Open Saturday Heats.  Much like 16.1, it creates a wide variety of opportunities for success, PRs, and fun.  As with last week, we'll try to spell out the categories of competitors, and hopefully give you some pointers for how to approach the workout and impress yourself.

For athletes at every level, be conscious of your grip - as we mention in class every time this movement (toes-to-bar) comes up.  Accidentally letting go of the bar is no laughing matter.  First and foremost, hang on to the bar and be conscious of whether your hands are slipping off.  If they even might be, take a break, shake it out, and get back up there when you've recovered.

Category 1: Toes go Where?!?
If you're in this category, you're certain that your toes are not going to make their way to the bar no matter what you do to coerce them.  If you're in this category, get yourself a scaled setup, and go for it! Find yourself in the categories below as your abilities relate on the scaled level, and strategize accordingly.

Category 2: Ok, I have t2b but 25 in four minutes?!?
If you're in this category, you're anticipating getting something less than 25 toes to bar in this workout, including perhaps getting your first ever (shout out to Amy D. for this awesome feat on Thursday night!).  For this group, get a trusted coach or experienced athlete to hang out with you and offer useful tips for this four minute toes-to-bar AMRAP... and get those toes to touch the bar!

Category 3: Whoa, 50 Double Unders?
If you're in this group, be conscious of your pace on the toes-to-bar to ensure that you don't go out so hot that you're unnecessarily taxed for the double unders.  Leave yourself as much time to get as many as you can, but within reason to keep your breathing relaxed.  Once you get there, stay calm and relaxed, and plan to break the double unders up into manageable sets.  If you can consistently do five or ten without missing, that's your number.  If you can only do them alternating with singles, that's ok for today.  Try not to focus on the accumulated number, or how far you have to go, just get your number, shake it out, and get it again.

Category 4: I made it to the cleans!  But crap, they're so heavy!
If you're in this group, welcome to the meat of this workout.  The cleans will feel heavy when you get there, so warm up to the bar you expect to hit in the workout, and possibly to the one after.  If this is at or around your 1RM, you may need to take a quick break before you pick up the bar to make sure you can hold strong positions and make each attempt count.  Pretty much everyone should do singles, unless the weight is light for you and you get to the bar with not enough time to spare.  In that case, sprint, do touch-and-go reps if possible, and have faith that if you finish the cleans the toes to bar will feel better than you expect when you get back to them.

Category 5: How many rounds will I get?
In this category - think through the accumulated toes-to-bar reps associated with the round you intend to complete, and break the sets up as though you were doing that total number of reps for time to stave off failure.  Heart rate management will become increasingly important as the reps and rounds increase, and strategizing will be necessary to maintain stamina for the toes-to-bar.  The cleans will feel heavy, and will spike your heart rate, so singles will likely be a good call unless you're sprinting against the clock to finish the round.

If you're in categories 2-4, you may find yourself wishing for more of a "workout" when your four minutes are up.  We want you to get a good workout too, but are conscious of everyone wanting an opportunity to attempt the 16.2 during a time convenient for them, so we've created the following suggestion.  It may seem confusing, but we assure you, we think it's going to be great.  The cap for all modified workouts will be 12 minutes in total - think of the modification as adding 8 minutes to the first round and proceeding as a normal AMRAP:

Category 2: When the clock hits four minutes, bank your score, and move on to double unders and proceed through the workout as Rx'ed - make it as far as you can within the next four minutes, and if you complete the cleans, scale the t2b when you get back to the bar, and also follow the scaling instructions for Categories 3 or 4 if needed.

Category 3: When the clock hits four minutes, bank your score, move on to cleans and proceed through the workout as Rx'ed. When you complete the cleans go back through the toes to bar, and if/when you complete the second round of t2b choose between 25 attempts or 50 singles with the jumprope.  Go to the next bar weight if you can, otherwise, follow instructions for Category 4.

Category 4: In this category, if you're making progress on the cleans, once the clock hits 4 minutes, bank your score, and continue as a normal AMRAP through 12 minutes.  You can keep working on the cleans, and then make your way back to the toes-to-bar and double unders.  If you aren't making progress on the cleans, or if you feel they're too heavy to repeat for a second round, drop the weight and continue through the workout.

As with all of our Open Saturdays, please make sure to sign-up for class as you normally would, and then see a coach when you arrive at the gym to get yourself a heat time.  The self-guided warm-up will be written on the board in AR North, and that entire side of the gym will be open for warm-up activities and stashing your stuff.  Have fun and we'll see you for 16.2!
