Any ideas on how to ammed this set. Where i am working this week I have no Squat rack and am reluctant to free squat more than 60kg without bar or spotters. How can i ammend the WOD. Pre fatigue on sets of back squats then complete weighted pistols? Any ideas appreciated

Fish..I work offshore and sometimes have to get creative. Years ago I used the Heavy Hand program(still do)there was a movement called the Double Ski Pole which basically mimicks a cross country skiers movement (stationary or on the move however you want to do it)I uppped the weight on it and its a fantastic whole body and especially leg WO especially if you dip deep with your legs at the bottom of the movement. Try it lite first and pick your weight after you feel comfortable with it, oh...watch your hand position on the downward or upward stroke, 1 1 pod can hurt real bad in the knee, thigh or hip.

Just wondering if anyone knew where Cross Fit East is located.

No squat rack available today, so pre-fatigued with 5 sets of 20 at 60kg.
Then pistols:
3L & 3R with 20lbs
3L & 3R with 20lbs
2L & 2R with 30lbs
2L & 2R with 30 lbs
1L & 1R 5 sets with 30lbs.
Legs fairly smoked, which i guess was the idea

Can't go heavy with back squats do to bad disks. Did no weight body squats instead.
250 squats in 10 minutes.

175x3

235x1
245x1
255x1
260x1
265x- lost the groove, dumped the weight

Finished the workout with 26# and 36# pistols as I was putting the plates away. I'm a bit disappointed I missed 265 as the 260 popped up pretty easy. Next time.

Absolutely rock bottom. Travelling again for work, the trainers at the gym I worked out at this morning couldn't believe how low I was dropping (I wish it was with more weight though). 235 was close to not coming back up...so I dropped back to 225 for the last set to close out solidly.

Combined today's and yesterday's workouts. Wasn't even close on yesterday's -- I was down to benching 95, doing bench dips, and push pressing 65 pounds. It fried me though.

Felt good, but I can tell I haven't been doing weighted back squats on a regular basis. I have a feeling I will pay for this tomorrow.

Recent PR. Have done 400 in the past, but that was when I squatted heavily on a regular basis. I wasn't in 'Crossfit shape' then.

Comment #22 - Posted by: SteveS at May 24, 2004 4:49 PM

Spine doesn't take too well to back squats still, so I subbed front squats.

135x3
155x2,2,2
175x1,1,1
185x1,1

Stopped at the track on the way home and did a few 800-meter intervals.

Missed 415, but made plenty of noise. I've noticed that if I'm not absolutely confident on my max singles, I usually miss them. I don't usually take more than 2 minutes between sets. I might should take more next time. All squats shoulder width, and past parallel.

Experimented with pullup ideas.

Comment #24 - Posted by: Barry Cooper at May 24, 2004 5:46 PM

bw = 185#

295# max rock bottom

which is better - to go to rock bottom or to slighlty below parallel but more weight

my PR is 435#x3 but that was just to parallel and a couple of years ago when I lifted heavy.

thought about adding more weight tonight but not going as deep and decided against it, just stuck with form

Comment #25 - Posted by: alex at May 24, 2004 6:58 PM

Alex-- Rutman has posted re your question before. He is a huge proponent of going rock bottom vs. to parallel. I'm sure you can do a search to find his post on the subject. The basic effect is that you can increase your explosiveness (sprinting and jumping) to a more substantial degree by going all the way down vs. going to parallel.

What are HSPU's?

Comment #27 - Posted by: Perryn at May 24, 2004 10:19 PM

handstand pushups

Comment #28 - Posted by: Jim Butts at May 24, 2004 10:44 PM

Heavy squats are a no-go for my back these days, so I settled for unit PT session of animal drills (bear, crab, alligator) around the CAT area followed by the evil BFS dot drill-http://www.cyberkwoon.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=83835. I'd rather have squatted!

Didn't have the proper equipment so I did 8 sets of 50 meter walking lunges, starting at 21, 18, 15 etc.. I did pushu - ups (all military style, YEAH!!!) and crunches. Legs hurt like $%#^.

Comment #32 - Posted by: Lisa Austin at May 25, 2004 1:03 PM

started with 115, ended with 195 (PR!)
