Workout of the Day

Back squat 5-5-3-3-3-1-1-1-1 reps

Post loads to comments.
Compare to 200714.

Scaling:
Focus on excellent technique for every set. If you have previous 1-rep max, try to set a new PR. Add weight for each set, but only if movement quality is consistent. Intermediate athletes can perform this workout as prescribed. Newer athletes can increase the reps to encourage more practice with the lift.

Beginner Option:
Back squat 5-5-5-3-3-3-3-3 reps

Vicki Rishbeth performs 21.2. Coach Barney, owner of Whiteheart CrossFit, travels to members’ homes to judge during U.K. lockdowns.

Johanna Juliusdottir: 21.1

Johanna Juliusdottir, 24, took the win on the women’s side in Open Workout 21.1, putting up an impressive time of 11:02​ — the best time across the men’s and women’s field. A lesser-known dottir (for now), Juliusdottir hails from CrossFit Reykjavik in Iceland, and has competed at the CrossFit Games once in 2017 on Team CrossFit XY. Juliusdottir has steadily worked her way up in Open ranking over the years, and looks to make a name for herself in the Sport of Fitness in 2021.

Watch Johanna Juliusdottir: 21.1

Jonne Koski: 21.1

Perennial CrossFit Games athlete Jonne Koski won the first workout of the season in the men’s field. The 26-year-old Finland native completed the couplet of wall walks and double-unders in 11:08​.

Limited to a 25 kg bar, so modified this to:

10 rounds of: 
10 back squats 
5 shoulder presses 
2'30'' rest between rounds

No time for more today. But a good session, nevertheless.

Pulled a max deadlift before yesterday (475) so didn’t want to max something else today because my back was smoked and I slept like shit last night. Instead, did 8x3 at 245 which is bout 65%. Made them fast and aggressive but still tried to move as perfect as possible. 

Then hit some accessories targeting VMO and glute med as well as some hamstring curls, GHRs, and a few good mornings. Not super high volume or intensity of anything, just wanted to move well and feel good when I got done. Great session. #mainsitemafia

That’s a 1# PR for me, first 1RM back squat PR in 3 years! If I have to be honest, depth may have been borderline on that last rep, but so was my last PR.

Not feeling a max effort today - sore knees and tight back. Technique focused.
10 reps each
135#-135-155-165-165-175-185-185-135

Mixed in SLIPS before, in between sets, and after.  Did the 135 right after last 185 for an immediate comparison in technique to the lighter weight.  Didn't notice any degradation at the higher weight, so I will count today as a plus.

Champions Club Scaling Notes

RANT
Nothing to rant about

WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENT
Back squat themes - squatting with heavy weight, pulling and pushing from the hips, high output then long rest

MAIN DECISION
Do I have the juice to work up to a heavy 1?

TECHNIQUE SCALE
Same format, do sets of 10+ per set.

CONSISTENCY SCALE
Pick a heavyish weight and pick a number to get (maybe 50). Use as few sets as needed to get there.

INTENSITY SCALE
So a sprint or burpees or something to get breathing heavy before each set.

INJURY SCALE
Upper-body - as is
Lower-body - complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of: 10 strict knees to elbows, 10 strict press

MY STUFF
Did sets of 15 at 135 between cleaning stuff

GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 4
