How detrimental is to have a strength session prior to a metcon or at the end?  It's there any data comparing mixed days vs having metcons separated from strength?

Today is a great day to attempt a new personal best on the back squat or to just get some volume under heavy loads. I will use results from recent back squat heavy day from 190821 to help guide loading for today. A good starting point could be to have the first set start at approximately 85% of a previous 1-rep max. This means that I will need to ensure adequate build-up time, prior to attempting any actually work sets. I will have athletes build-up for at least the first 3 sets. If a max is achieved prior to the final set, I will have athletes reduce loads by 10-15% for the remaining sets.
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 sub-maximal 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 range of motion.

145-155-165-170. New training max at 170. 

Still haven't come close to my old 1RM of 195, but at least now I believe that it's possible. Eventually I'll crack 2 bills :)

No Rack! No Bumpers! & No Lifters! 
95-105-115-125-135#s My BW is 130! Really happy with how I got 135 cleaned and up/over my head & onto my back in control. I think I should test out my 1RM C&J again. 😂 Also, I can’t wait to test my 1RM with a rack again. 

" it is impossible to have low levels of short-duration power and higher levels of longer-duration power."

Some have misunderstood this line. I can understand why it might be initially confusing. Clearly some athletes have impressive long-duration performance while exhibiting little to no strength and power in other domains. Marathon specialists who do not lift weights come to mind. This is one reason that exclusively specializing in endurance exercise is not a good way to develop overall fitness.

If you think about a specific domain though, the point might make more sense. You can't run a 4:00 mile unless your 100m is much faster than 0:15 (the same pace as a 4:00 mile). You can't perform a 2:20 Fran unless a 95-lb. thruster is very light for you, i.e. your 1RM is significantly higher. Indeed, it is my observation that while endurance specialists often have little speed, power or strength outside of their domains, they often have relatively good short duration capability at their chosen sport. Athletes who can run 52 consecutive 2:20 half miles can perform quite well in the 200, 400 or 800. Not world class, but very well compared to anyone but an elite specialist in those events. Similarly you aren't going to row a 16:45 5k unless your 500 and 1000m times are very good as well.

Is there Scaling options for Scales?!?! 😂
Anyone else find them the most difficult thing in SLIPS?

125-lb back squats on EMOM ladder:

min 1 = 1 squat
min 2 = 2 squats
---
min 12 = 12 squats
min 13 = 4 squats
82 total squats

Bars always from the ground; so add 13 power cleans.

Did last week's deadlift/HSPU workout.  Results there.

Interesting that the article says this about 'Heavy Days':  "...most often in the range of 1 to 5 repetitions, where the total volume of working repetitions is approximately 7 to 25. Repetitions significantly outside this range do not produce the desired response. If there are too few repetitions (e.g., 1 repetition at a near-maximum load), the athlete does not produce enough stress on the taxed muscles to drive a new adaptation."   -- yet the programming is 5 singles today which doesn't seem to meet the requirements for adaption (7-15 reps).

Can someone help me understand what i’m meant to do with practice SLIPS? What are SLIPS?

How can I find the old workouts- I cannot find them with the search....
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Heavy days have so much benefit, yet the unitiated always wrinkle their nose and ask if that's the entire workout. It's as if the absence of a metcon or monostructual movement negates the day as a GPP training day. I'm not strong and I can't wow anyone with my lifting feats, but I love heavy days because I know that I'm buidling strength and power.

Warm-up for 190906:
GENERAL WARM-UP

3 round of:

10 elbow-to-instep
10 glute bridges
10 counter-balance squats with 15-10 lb plate
10 good mornings with plate

SPECIFIC WARM-UP
10 squat therapy squats (3-seconds down and up)
Perform the following sequence with an empty barbell:
10 good mornings
10 Kang squats
5 tempo back squats (3-seconds down, 1-second up)
5 back squats

Build up
Every 90 seconds for 5 sets:
Set 1 - 3 reps at 60%
Set 2 - 3 reps at 65%
Set 3 - 2 reps at 70%
Set 4 - 2 reps at 75%
Set 5 - 1 rep at just below 80%
> The first set should be approximately 80% of 1 rep. max.

Champions Club Scaling Notes

RANT: 
One of the most difficult things that comes up for us coaching squats on max effort days is the squat rack thing. With deadlifts, cleans, and snatches, the only thing you have to consider when pairing people up is how much weight they’ll lift. For squats it’s weight and height. I really don’t have a good solution for this. Tall people might have to squat down a bit lower than usual to get the bar out, and that’s okay. They’ll live. The one things that might free up a rack or two is to have really light weight people not use a rack at all. No reason someone using 35, 65, or 85 lbs. can’t just do a little clean and press to get the bar onto their back. This is also why I like the time cap for the stations instead of set numbers; the light weight people will get more out of it by going slow and doing a ton of reps.


Check last one for scaling

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.

INTENDED STIMULUS


Oh yeah! This is the best way to finish the week. Heavy squat day! Let's go for a max rep today. Shoot to peak on the fourth set and leave the fifth one to the gods. Today you will have time to warm up that movement 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 dial in your movement. You want to arrive at 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. If you have time before your training google: "Pillars of Squat Technique" from the guys at Juggernaut, it is worth your time.
