Today was just a heavy three. Wanted to up to 245lbs around working set 3-5, but restraint took over. Squat strength is improving.


Just a heavy leg day today, with EASY walking and GhD core work. Wanted to run today, but worried about too much, too soon with running.


Quite worried about weight. Have gone up from to 213 to 219lbs with being DialedIn and holidays. Need to increase my mileage, and rowing/echo intervals.

In keeping with the spirit of my affiliate (CrossFit Knoxville @crossfitknoxville) whose WOD on Monday was a set of 10 rep Back Squat


M/5'9"/190/54


I did 5 sets of 10 reps

115-135-155-185-205 , I probably could have went to 225, but I didn't push it.

Could have gone a bit heavier in the later sets, but I tweaked my back the last two times we did back squats, so I decided to be careful with my form instead.


The L-sit/hollow-rock practice I've been doing the last month or two seemed to make a difference in how I was able to maintain my midline during the squats this time.

Rx

135-155-175-195-205-225-235#

Pressed for time (including the warm-up) so had to rush through, plus sore knees and back going into it, so not a solid go at this today. However, technique stayed solid and I haven't done BS above 225# for more than 2 years (since right before herniating a disk), so I'm pleased with that aspect of the workout.


Compare to 230403: Technique work, 10-15 reps each set 45-95-135-155-155-155-155-155-155# (knees were in rough shape then too).

I noticed it was not as hard as I anticipated weight wise, so I added a few extra sets to see what I could do. 90 seconds to 120 second rest between.

Globo wod: If you have a bar, plates, and a squat rack or rig you're good to go. If you're going for a 3rm on the last set of squats use spotter arms/pins, a spotter, or be familiar with bailing out from a back squat safely (Bumpers only for the last one). If you only have a Smith machine today let's load that up (I know, but some are on cruise ships, Planet Fitness or hotel gyms, so this gives them an option). Finish with some unilateral leg work. Dumbbells sub: If you are proficient in pistol squats let's work up to a heavy 3 alternating (6 reps total, 3 each leg). If you're still working on pistols let's do heavy dumbbell bulgarian split squats, working up to a heavy 3 each side, alternating after each set. On either of these if you max the available dumbbells do AMRAP sets.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

Max output followed by full recovery. Single modality. Weightlifting. Squatting without major upright torso demand


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT


MEDIUM


HEAVY x


FORMAT/MOVEMENT QUESTIONS

Am I experienced enough to be strict on the number of sets I do?

Do I need more reps each set to get a feel for the technique?

Is my body telling me that I need a heavy day or is it telling me I need lighter weight and more reps?

Do I want to work up to the heaviest 3 I can, or do I want to try the heaviest 3 I can do for 7 consecutive sets?

How much do I care about my 3-rep number? Do I want to be flexible with the reps I do on each set (ie. one set do 2, one set do 5)


NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE

Same format, just do like 10+ reps per set. Nothing wrong with empty bar either.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 5
