Knee hurt building up through the 200lb range, felt great before. Started to foam roll and stretch to search it out. My calf is the culprit. Gave plenty of stretching and slowww foam smashing on the calf and knee felt much better.

245 - 255 - 265 - 255 - 245


265 was two rounds of x1, couldn't get comfortable under the bar. Chest was dropping was low on the 3rd rep, so went back down in weight.


Up to 260 last time.

Just a 30 kg bar available, so I went with TECHNIQUE SCALE:

--

Back squat:

12 + 15 + 17 + 21 +22 + 14 = 101 reps

2' rest between sets.

--

Light weight, but deep squatting and good form throughout, if I say so myself.

Been a while since I did heavy (for me) squats. A little shallow today.

Globo scale: Grab a rack, rig, or squat stands and hit this one. If you are using iron plates today use spotter arms or an actual spotter if you are maxing out. If your gym only has a Smith machine (Planet Fitness I'm talking you, as well as some cruise ships) let's load that up and go heavy (yes I know) amd finish up woth some unilateral dumbbell single leg work. If dumbbells are all you have then consider doing weighted pistol squats 3-3-3-3-3 each leg, or weighted step ups if your pistols are not proficient. Finally you can sub weighted walking lunges.


Busy gym: see above. Perhaps set a clock and do the squats e2mom.


Bodyweight/ equipmentless sub: Leg strength! Let's spend 15 minutes working on pistols or progressions, or lunges if you're not quite there. Once you've done that let's do walking lunges and some explosive jumping squats to cash out.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

Short and heavy. Squatting with weight, not much demand on upright torso. High output, long rest.


MAIN DECISION

Am I good enough at squatting to make 3 reps feel like a pretty miserable experience?


TECHNIQUE SCALE

Same format, add tons of reps each set.


CONSISTENCY SCALE

Same format, hold at the bottom of the squat each rep.


INTENSITY SCALE

Do a short sprint or burpees or something before each set to make the back squats feel heavier than they are.


INJURY SCALE

Pick two movements you can do at full capacity, and do 3 5-minute AMRAPs for them. Rest as needed between.


MY STUFF

Checked the box. Did sets of 5 at 115 in between cleaning and mopping.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 5
