Workout of the Day

109

For load:
10-10-7-7-4-4-1-1
Back squat

Post load to comments.

Compare to 240105.

Scaling:
Build throughout the 8 sets, starting with something moderately heavy and finishing with a very heavy single. Remember that “heavy” is relative to each athlete. A heavy load requires all your focus and effort.

– A heavy set of 10 reps should be around 50-60%+.
– A heavy set of 7 reps should be around 60-70%.
– A heavy set of 4 reps should be around 70-80%.
– A heavy single for today should be 80%+.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx'd.

Beginner option:
Back squat 10-7-4-1 reps

Coaching cues:
Fight through the sticking point — drive your heels down, push your knees apart, and let your chest lead you to the top.

255 x2 (felt good so did one more rep at the end)


Have some left knee pain when squatting, likely due to some inflammation from some sort of tweak. Pushed it but didn't go full throttle, and eased into the sets instead of starting high and staying there. Form was good and deep though w/ some long hip stretching so pleased about that. Goal is to rehab L knee (and maybe take a few wods off or heavily scaled) so that next heavy squat day I can hit it hard.

Failing the set of 4 made me a little cautious I guess. Could have gone heavier on the singles.

same weights and reps, but included 205-215-singles


Very happy with this. It’s been ages since I’ve done heavy (for me) squats, which is why (+ coddling my back) I avoided the singles. Tomorrow will be a day of walking funny, with lots of good soreness.

Pre WOD -2 mi ruck w/ 20# med ball @ 93°/100% humidity- AGAIN


No rack, so limited by clean-ability & went with FS(s). Even w/ a rack, my #s will never be high here, but still feels like work to these old joints!

7s-65

4s-75

Every part of me felt like I checked the box today except for my knees. It felt like the strength was there to go heavier, but pain was the limiting factor - don’t push that envelope, live to fight another day. It was still good to get back squat work in.

Globo wod: If you are using iron plates or don't know how to bail properly use a rack with spotter arms or a spotter for the heavier sets. Dumbbells sub dumbbell bulgarian split squats 10-10-7-7-4-4-1-1 each leg. If you max the available dumbbells do AMRAP sets.
