Scaling:
Focus on excellent technique for every set. If you have a 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:
Overhead squat 5-5-5-3-3-3-3-3 reps

Tried to get close to my squat snatch max for the reps and above it for the overhead squats. Elbows and shoulders don’t like heavy overhead squats sometimes...Today is one of those times.


15 minutes of slips warmup: 3 rounds:

3 front scale circle over 30” box into

10-15sec back scale hold each side

5 L sit lifts on floor/5 second toe to bar hold

1 minute handstand kick ups free

1 minute plank to down dog/toe touches

1 minute pvc pass throughs


42/69”/177lbs.

OHS just kill that TFCC in my right wrist! Basically a form drill since I can’t get heavy.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENT

Overhead squat themes - squatting with an upright torso, pulling from the hips, pushing from the hips, overhead, balance factor (understatement)


MAIN DECISION

Do I have the mobility to make max effort OHS a worth-while day?


TECHNIQUE SCALE

Set the clock to 30 minutes. Do a ton of agonizingly slow sets at a light weight (like 7 sec. on the way down, 7 sec. on the way up). Throw some L-sits in between or handstand descents if you want.


CONSISTENCY SCALE

Don't go quite with a full recovery in between sets; use the same time for each one.


INTENSITY SCALE

Do something like a short sprint or burpees to get you breathing heavy before each set.


INJURY SCALE

Upper-body - back squat instead of OHS

Lower-body - AMRAP in 10 minutes of: 5 slow strict knees to elbows, 5 kipping handstand push-ups. Rest 5 minutes and repeat.


MY STUFF

1 round every 3 minutes for 5 minutes of: Run a little longer than 400 (I hope!), 10 strict knees to elbows on the swingset with the fattest effing grip ever.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 3

5-10 reps OHS at each weight

45-55-65-75-85-95-105-115#


Got a late start this morning and just wasn't into it, so just focused on technique. Power snatch to get the bar overhead. Felt good at 115 but had to cut it off there because of time.

Technique work for me.

10-65, 10-75, 10-85, 10-95, 10-105, 5-115(pr), f-120, 4-115, 5-110, 10-95#.

Most productive focused OHS workout ever for me. 115 was my 1rm; it’s now my 1, 3, and 5 rm.
