Her stance looks much wider than shoulder width, which what I have to do so I can complete this difficult movement as well.

My thought exactly. However, it's worth considering that stance width and squat depth can be highly individual. I found Squat University's video very enlightening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FF6VLej_bY

This was my first WOD, Coming from Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting, my max sets of OHS was 94lb, all bench sets were between 242lbs and 250lbs.


Cant even dream about triple unders yet, managed some double unders though, and did 10 mins of single unders afterwards.

Had to workout at home. Limited equipment and limited time. Better than doing nothing!

Loads for single arm OHS were: 10,12,15(kB),18(kB), 20. A lot different than a Barbell OH squat!

Then I did 4 rounds with a barbell since I don’t have any plates or a bench:

10 barbell curls

10 strict press

10 high pulls

10 bent over rows

One minute of rest between rounds and did not drop the bar between moves

I worked out 7 days straight so today was a rest day but didn’t want to do nothing since I had been eating terribly the last two days because of my birthday! Don’t want to be a complete failure 😂

Run 5km

At each 1km, don25 push-ups and 50 walking lunges

I don’t think this time is right. I think I had MMR set to auto-pause at breaks, and push-up time might not have been counted??

Could someone confirm?


It has to do:


Single-dumbbell overhead squat 5 reps


Bench press 3 reps


5 attempts at a max set of triple-unders


Then start again for more four times????


I wait for your response asap.

Yeah, and also could be another thing. Like that:


Single dumbbell OHS with max weight (LBS/KGS you can

5 reps

Bench press with max weight (LBS/KGS you can

3 reps


then 5 tentatives max of sets triple under


Anyway, I will decide what I do.

Hey Kaleb,


Follow what I found.

https://board.crossfit.com/archive/index.php/t-59315.html


a 5RM (5 rep max) is a weight you can lift 5 times and no more.


5-5-5-5-5 just means you're increasing the weight each time and lifting it 5 times. They're not necessarily related.


For example, a person can maybe back squat 315 lbs 5x, that's his 5RM.... but he does a 5-5-5-5-5 with loads at 225-245-265-285-295. However, if he does something like 285-295-305-315-325, that means he has a new 5RM of 325 since he could only lift 315 before.



Now that make sense. I hope helped you.


Cheers.

I read it Wesley as regular barbell bench press. If it were with DB’s, they’d specifically say so in my opinion. The weight is up to you; either build to a heavy set of 3 and hold that across for 5 sets, or build each set until the 4th and 5th set are your heavy sets.

Normal bench press, with a barbell. And as heavy as your form can handle.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT:

My max overhead squat is 215 lbs and I have yet to go over a 5-lb. plate any time I have done one-arm overhead squats. To me, when you look at the feet and the midline, the air squat, front squat, overhead squat, deadlift, kb swing, and every other thing that involves squatting should look the same. This includes one-arm overhead squats. The tendency on these is to rotate away from the arm that's up, causing everything downstream to collapse. It is our job to resist that rotation and I can keep the integrity with a 5-lb. plate and nothing more at the moment.


I SHOULD TRY THIS RX'D IF: I have the capacity on OHS and triple understanding to make the sequence worth while.


GROUP VERSION:

5 rounds of:

1:00 one-arm overhead squat

1:00 floor press

1:00 jump rope practice

*maybe add 30-sec. transition time because floor press is tough to get set up and stuff might be spread out


INJURY VERSION (BASED ON GROUP VERSION):

Upper-body injury - one-arm floor press/strict press would be fine

Middle body injury - bike sub for jump rope probably and air squat/l-sit sub for one arm overhead squat.

Lower-body injury - strict knees to elbows or pistol variations subbed for one arm overhead squat. Bike for triple under?


FIRST TIME WORKOUT IN FOREVER VERSION: same as group


WARMUP:

Jump rope - always

Handstand - overhead prep

Squat - obvs

Push-up - prep for floor/bench press

Ring row - also prep for press


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 2.

My deadlift stance is definitely more narrow and my KB swing is definitely wider. I’m sure that’s with most people too. A clean starts with a deadlift (essentially), ends with a front squat, and your feet have to move to properly accomplish this.

Globo Scale-as Rxed for most. For the overhead squats if you max out the dumbbells do AMRAP sets each arm with good form. If you only have dumbbells today do max sets with the dumbbells for the bench press as well. If all you have is a barbell do pausing overhead squats, 2 seconds in the hole, same scheme. You can also sub kettlebells for the OHS.


If you do not have double unders work on double unders for 10 minutes, then do a max set of single unders. If you are proficient at double unders but do not have triple unders yet work triple unders for 10 minutes then do a max set of double unders. If you are working on single unders, work those for 15 minutes.
