Just Dumb
Just Dumb (show workout)
BJ 480 2:28 97.2/51.7 with the BW adjustment
Eugene 380 3:08 63.3/32.7
Lance 408 3:39 55.8/31.9
Alex 408 5:36 36.4/.22.5
Just Dumb, is. The idea is to DL and Thruster as much weight as fast as you can knowing that a heavy weight slow will not score as well as a lighter weight fast. Here's how it is scored.
Weight lifted x 30 (number of reps) / time in seconds. That score is the number after the time.
It seemed like there should be a bodyweight consideration in this workout so I took the lifter's bodyweight into consdieration and subtracted it from the total weight lifted. Thus:
Weight lifted - BW x 30 / time in seconds
That second result is predictably lower, but I'm not sure it is any better or tells a better story. My objective is to create a sort of Comstock score like you have in shooting events where you subtract your time from your score. Shoot more accurately/faster than your opponent and you win. Still a work in progress here, I'll keep on it.
Oh, a new workout was born: Just Dumber. This one would be Deadlift - Power Clean - Thruster. I'm starting to hurt just thinking about it.
