295-305-315-325-335lbs.
At least 4 back scales and 3 front scales while building up. 3x:30 each leg back scales and 2x :30 each front scales after post max effort stretching. Did elevated pigeon for 5m, elevated pancake/ straddle 5m and stretched quads between from scales. Not much stretching prewod.
Coming back from a lower back/pelvic injury I scaled to 5x5 with 35 kg/77 lbs

Subbed back squats with front squats. Did 3 sets of 10 starting at 95 then increased to 135. Fingers aren't used to holding the bar in the front squat position yet.

This workout is a nice complement to the upper-body dominant gymnastics session yesterday. Today will be a great day to attempt a new back squat personal best or just get some volume under heavy loads. I will use results from the prior effort, on 190428, to help manage loads. A good starting point could be to have the first set start at 85-90% of a previous 1-rep max, which will require adequate build-up time.
I will not alter the rep scheme for most of my athletes. However, some of my newer athletes might not be skilled or strong enough to fully benefit from heavy singles. For these athletes, I may have them do sets of 3 to 5 reps at submaximal loads. This can potentially be more beneficial and allow for more practice time with the movements.
During the workout, weight reductions may be needed for athletes that begin to display significant deviations from sound mechanics or start to shorten their range of motion.

Hi everyone
Can someone please send me a video with demonstration about WOD 190701?
in my understanding
I have to do Back squad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ultWZbUMPL8
So I do one rep and do: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WgXaf7g0Pyo
then: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Arh2Q_prqvw
and so do it all again for 5 reps or until fatigue/fail???
Thanks

John, the wod calls for single heavy lifts. Do a general warm up, then specific warm up (deadlifts) with progressively heavier lifts until you get near your max (>80%). Then you do singles for the real work of a 1 rep max lift. If you are new to deadlifting you may be better served using a more moderate weight for 5 sets of 5 (5x5).

Copy that.
I did what I understood.
I did back squat with 120/140/160/200/220 lbs then together scales front and back and It was 5x5 as follow:
1 set 5 reps 120 lbs then scales front and back 5secs
2 set 5 reps 140 lbs then scales front and back 5secs
3 set 5 reps 160 lbs then scales front and back 5secs
4 set 5 reps 200 lbs then scales front and back 5secs
5 set 5 reps 220 lbs then scales front and back 5secs
Thanx for the clarification and have a good week!

Switched to higher reps so I could keep the weight lower. Knee & back are getting better! Not bad for a two a day, no time tomorrow.

INTENDED STIMULUS
Let's start this week strong! It has been a while since we squatted heavy not in the context of a CrossFit total. That means you don't need to worry about anything else but squatting. Today you will have time to warm up that movement really, really well. Treat each repetition as if it were your max. Don't wait for the bar to be heavy to act like it is. Respect all the weights and use your sets to really dial in your movement. You want to arrive to those five singles ready, excited, and confident. From then just squat with fire and love. Trust your body: it will know what to do. Remind yourself of one thing: you want the heaviest squat you have today with awesome mechanics. If that is a PR, so be it, if not it does not matter. The purpose is not to best yourself, it's to lift the heaviest you can today. For athletes struggling with form remember this: loading a movement challenges and reinforces whatever motor pattern you are capable of, so loading crummy mechanics will challenge and reinforce them. If you need to develop your technique that should be your focus today. The options below might help you!
OPTION 1
For athletes with good movement patterns but not familiar with going super heavy.
Back squat 5-5-5-5-5 reps
Keep adding weight while your movement is solid. If at any point you feel a big deviation in mechanics, end your set, deload and move on the next one.
OPTION 2
A. Tabata of air squats to a target
B. 5 supersets
30 seconds bottom of the squat hold
30 seconds arch/superman hold
rest 1:00 between super sets
C. 5 supersets
3 bottom-to-bottom squats
3 super-slow squats
rest 1:00 between supersets
NOTE ON MOVEMENTS
Bottom-to-bottom squats: Lower to full squat position (thighs parallel to floor or below), hold for a full ten seconds, rise and immediately upon full extension of hip and leg return to bottom and hold for ten seconds.
Super-slow squats: Take twenty seconds to reach bottom and twenty seconds to reach top
again.
NOTE ON STRETCHING
Check the Youtube video: "Super Squat Hip Sequence pre-workout | Feat. Kelly Starrett | MobilityWOD". This is now a classic mobilization for squats. Try it!
And since you are already on the YouTubes, check the video: "CrossFit - "Just Squat" with Greg Glassman"

Globo scale: if you have access to a barbell and rack/rig, this one is as Rxed.
Remember to use a spotter, spotter arms/pins, or bumper plates (for dumping) for safety reasons.
For those of you in a hotel gym or gym without a barbell, you have a few options. 1. Smith machine squats (not optimal but allows for heavy loads). 2. A weighted dumbbells single leg movement (pistol squat, box/bench step up, Bulgarian split squat, or lunge), work to a heavy set of 3-5 on each leg. 3. Work on pistols or progressions today.

Champions Club Scaling Notes:
RANT:
I don't know why but I had a feeling this was going to come up (I didn't look ahead, either). We have been getting crushed with some of these workouts recently - especially in terms of volume - and going for a nice 1-rep max can serve as a recovery as well as a test. All of the scales can act as a skill transfer to the back squat if you use critical thinking. Start from the feet and work your way up and see what connections you make.
For the group, don't feel married to the 1 rep sets, or even the back squat in general. A squat is a squat. Front squat, overhead squat, and deadlift all might be better options if you are short on racks and wanted to do a weighted squats. If the weight won't get heavy enough, add a small dose of fatigue (like 8 fast burpees before a set) and see how 135-lbs. can feel like 300.
