The squat’s not my problem. It’s my wrists and fingers. Plus, taking it easy on a mildly tweaked back.

215 was a max and PR, anymore weight hand there would have been major form breakdown.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

High output followed by full recovery. A potent dose of stamina to our squatting strength. Squatting with an upright torso.


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT


MEDIUM


HEAVY x


STRENGTH SCALE

25 front squats in under 35 minutes. Pick the heaviest weight you can and divide up the reps however you want. Or if you're missing strength bigtime enough to not use a heavy weight, then do 5 sets of 1:00 holds in the bottom of the squat. Rest as needed between.


FLEXIBILITY SCALE

Back squats, then do some of Kelly Starrett's front rack mobility in between (and probably some backwards hands push-ups)


POWER SCALE

Time your first set of 5, anything slower than the first set doesn't count


MY STUFF

25 pistols on each side. The checking of all boxes.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7
