Heavy weight I am guessing. I knew it was time to hit the legs.
Yikes and I haven't been to the gym in a week and a half! Should be fun...
What is a back squat? it is not listed
^^ A normal squat with the bar rested on your shoulders as opposed to a front squat where the bar is rested on your chest.
my form has improved on this one..as follows
3-135
2-155
2-165
2-185
1-215
1-255
1-265
1-285..a struggle
1-305..failed
how much rest between sets?
thanks
Great!!
Left shoulder is still pretty sore, Squats work great for me. May have to lay off the pull ups and push ups though.

Still hurting a bit from "Dan Johns Big 55" the other day, 57 reps of 300lbs on Squat

David,
As much rest as you need. Most people take between 2 and 5 minutes. Keep the workout moving as much as you can, but recover after each round.
Outstanding...had to lift legs (including Squat) today anyway, so I just integrated this in. The entire Squat portion of my workout today:
*Non-WOD*
12 x 145
(8 x 195) x 2
(6 x 210) x 2
*WOD*
3 x 250
(2 x 260) x 3
1 x 275
1 x 270 - Fail
(1 x 260) x 2
(1 x 265) x 2
A little less on the top end than last time (down 15lbs.) but I brought the starting point up (also 15lbs.)...I think the top end loss is due to the effects of combining 2 workouts...I was just toasted. No big deal.
Only took 1 minute between sets.
I did Front sqts instead... maxed out @ 150x3 ... shakey..... now just 12 more for the Challenge III
actually that should be OHSes & not fronts
dave k,
that is awesome! I would like to be as fit as you when I grow up :)
Where is a good place to buy training/bumper plates? My gym doesnt have any>
225-275-275-275-295-305-315-325-335
The best website around...These workouts will definitely be a hard habit to break.
Off-WOD today:
5 rounds of:
21 DB swings, 55#
15 KTE
12 1-arm lunge, 35#
9 front squat, 115#
~27 min. A real smoker...
Will perform and post back-squats later.

Accidentally did 1 extra set. Max improved by 25 lbs. Actually had a spotter today so I was a little more comfortable going heavy.

Don't have weights at home. I did a little warm up today: .5 mile run, 100 pushups, 100 situps, and negative HSPU's till I had to get ready for work.
I did the motions for the WOD, but used a broom stick weighted with two 2.5 gallon water containers...all I had around to improvise with.

Shannon,
On CrossFit's homepage on the far right side (scroll down a bit) you'll find a listing of 'Equipment.' While brian_g's right about BiggerFasterStronger being 'best' from a bang for your buck standpoint, have a look at http://www.eleikosport.com/company.asp
for fun. They are the best but prohibitively expensive for most of us. There's also;
http://www.ivanko.com/.
(training plates, no bumpers though).
Have fun shopping!

Finished with some dips, pullups, crunches, L-sits and practiced one arm pullups.
Setted squats, drop snatches and TSC pullups:
185/15/26x3
205,215,225/20,25,30/36,36,36x2
230,235,240,240,240/35,40,45,45,45/44,52,66,66,66x1
Squats not the strongest this morning - never found "the groove". First time I've tried drop snatches and found that as soon as I hit the 50# mark I couldn't drop to full depth. Pullups a little tough as my elbows are tender from yesterday's focused "elbows-straight" L-pullups.
2x15 5# cb mills
2x10 10# cb mills
2x5 15# cb mills - form not as tight as it needs to be

First time doing weighted squats in years. No spotter, so nervous about going heavy. On most of the squats I did not go full depth, really need to work on this. I figure it was an okay workout/learning experience.
This may be a stupid question, but when recording amounts do you include the weight of the bar or just the weights on the bar?
The best plates we have are the eleiko and they have been in use for over 10 years. Then best training plates we have are the Mav Rik. They had some quality issue for a few years when the owner ship changed, but got beter when it changed back. Don't buy 10 kg from eleiko if you are going to drop them. They are too thin and tend to break easily. the mav rik's are better 10 kg plates (thicker) when dropped.

Didn't feel good when I started, but I guess I was strong! Beat my PR by 25lbs. Just for the heck of it, tried to max out on pullups and got 9, which is a new PR by 1. Not great by Crossfit Elite standards, but yippee!
Never have gone to see what my single-rep max weights are for anything, so this was not just a tough day but a real learning experience!

1/2 x 340 (failed at halfway, was very thankful for being in a Smith machine!)
I didn't feel as tired as I thought I should, so I made myself do some extras - 3 x 240 and 5 x 180, and that was all she wrote!
So, now I know I can start a little higher the next time this comes around. I also didn't realize I could squat that much. Cool. Now I'm just waiting to feel this tonight or tomorrow morning...
did both today and yesterdays back to back. felt pretty good. maxed at 235 for squat. its a weak number but i got to start somewhere.
I'm still feelin the OHS's from the other day. I don't know my max so I had to experiment a little.

Didn't feel comfortable after 355 to continue. I have not squat more than 300 on my back since I injured it in college. So, I am ok with this for now.
No weights so used my sandbag to do front squats 5 x 5. Worked up to 40 KG
Warmed-up with skin the cat 3 x 3 on my rings and handstand to forward roll. Great fun!
Can anyone actually do a literal 'one arm pullup' or is it the one arm pullup by grabbing your wrist. This is a goal of mine, to do a literal one.
It's the wife's B-day, so it's unlikely I'll get to the gym until verrrry late!
She's turning 38, but looks 10 years younger! Really, I swear she does. Wears no make up because she doesn't need to. Works more hours than a stevadore, puts up with my crapola, raises 4 kids (5 counting me), and looks great!!
She's the smartest woman I know and the only one I'll ever be married to. I kind of love the girl!!
Happy B-day Lysa (yes, she has a name!)

Went to just below parallel.
50 pound PR.
Lino I have heard of people doing a one arm while holding a wieght plate in the other hand, but never actually seen it.
All sets to a few inches below parallel. Wide stance, no belt.
I didn't time rest intervals, but I kept them short (about 1-2 minutes) and made an effort to jump back in before I felt recovered. As a result I started to fail well before my anticipated 1RM.
205x 3 (easy)
225x 2, 2 (getting tough), 2
235x 1, 1, 1

I think my previous PR was 205, and my form was better this time.
I am impressed reading the posts and seeing the big weights some of you are doing. I have always done more benchpresses or deadlits as compared to squats, so my leg strength is lagging. I will try tonight in my garage-gym with my power rack. It will be nice not worrying about missing or not being able to get back up.
Got up to 215 lbs, failed on 225.

Thank you CrossFit and the Zone! At 185# bodyweight I am now full-squatting more weight than I used to put up when I weighed 200# and thought that going past parallel would cause my knees to explode. How does that work without specifically training the back squat? I don't know, but I don't particularly care either because the fact is that it does work. Thanks again.
Wife: warmed up with 15 minutes of yesterday's WOD w/ 23# DB presses and jumping pull-ups w/ L-holds on the negative -- Thanks for the suggestion, Norma! That was much closer to the intended WOD than what she was originally going to do.

Pin was broken on the squat rack, so I had to use the squat machine thing (Smith machine?). Because of where I had to set the safety catch, I could only go a little bit past parallel. (I stood on 25 lb. plates, too.)

Had the wrong weight on for the last set- it seemed too light and was.
Loads came down down on this a bit since last time, but at the lighter weights felt like I could do lots of additional reps. Converted from kg's:
Warmup 10 x 133
3 x 221 (didn't go well)
2 x 3 x 199
5 x 210 (better)
Finished with light front squats, more back squats, and OH squats.
Learned the pug has gained 6 lbs over the winter...time for the Pug Zone Diet!
Forgive my ignorance, but who is Peter Markel?
in the am, for time: run 1.5mi
time: 9:35, PR w/ a bit of wind and, as always, at ~4000ft. i keep gettin closer to the illusive 9min mile and a half (illusive bc ive never been a runner and i weigh 200lbs).
then for the WOD, i did front squats instead as follows:
5:115 3:135 2:145/155/155 1:165(F)/155/165/165/175 2:155
up until the failure i was starting from the ground then (thankfully) the rack opened up, which made things much easier. these were definitely affected by the earlier run.
then i gave the back squat a try 5x135...holding form (which was why i chose to do FSs instead) was easy after having done FSs. i closed w/ some 20 and 30# DB static maltese holds...pooped.

probably could have gone heavier.i had my left acl replaced and had pins put in the tibia and
fibula from breaking my leg in the same incident
a little over two years ago. both have gotten
aggravated when i have squatted too heavy, but i
have to say all of the body squats seem to have
loosened up my knee well as these are my first
back squats in a year and my knee felt very good

All done pretty much butt to the ground. I concentrated on pushing the floor away which helped me stay on my heels.

1 mile on rowing machine (I accidentally wrote treadmill on my other post) I wasn't thinking very well this morning :)
2 WOD's today:
Yesterday'd= 5 rounds
Todays as follows:
225, 245, 275, 305, 315, 345, 355, 405(fail)
i dont like doing really heavy squats because my legs get big quick. I need smaller legs to pass my APFT run.
I ran 5 miles finished at 36:30. Felt like I could have finished at sub 35 min.
Will pick back up with normal WOD tomorrow.
Did tabata squats instead.

Pack Workout @ Brand X: (slightly modified by mistake)
25 Burpees with 10# dumb bells
25 pull ups - 15 unassisted and 10 assisted
20 Burpees with 10# dumb bells
20 pull ups - 10 unassisted and 10 assisted (should have been 25 total but I screwed up.)
15 Burpees with 10# dumb bells
25 pull up - 8 unassisted and 17 assisted pull ups (9 of the last set of assisted ones were more like rows with toes of one foot propped up on a tiny ledge.)
37:20 OH man that was a good workout! All the pull ups were singles. Stretch band assist or kipped.
Jogged about a quarter of a mile to warmup. Hadn't jogged further than 100 feet since I blew out my Achilles in April, 2000. No kidding. Legs felt like lead, ankle felt 100%.

My p.r. is 102 (225), so that was pretty good squatting. Bodyweight 75kg.
Finished with complex of Cln+FS+PP+BS+PP+OHS for 20 reps. Took a few breaks to get all twenty. Then I went for a one-hour dance lesson! I'm tired.

Could have gone heavier but this was the first time I've done back squats without a rack or spotter so I felt a bit insecure.

I used a bit wider stance than normal. That seemed to help. I used a belt (skinny, generic Valeo, not the Powerlifting ones) for the last 2-3 reps. No wraps or any of that stuff.
Did 9 really good L-Pullups after that. Legs way up. I was impressed with myself, if I do say so myself. The guys in the gym that can outsquat me--and there are only a couple--can't do ANY pullups, as far as I can tell. Finished with some speed pullups, and a set of 15 full contact twists with 70 pounds on the end. Something about the way that twists my stomach always makes me want to throw up, but it's a great exercise. Good workout.

matched my 245# deep squat PR but could'nt get out of the hole w/o a little assist on 255#. back squats are not my strength.
finished with snatch and OHS practice to 95# and then tabata sit-ups, (another weakness)

Beat my old back squat PR by 15kg. I have no idea where that came from, because until the last single, it didn't really even feel that heavy.

probably should have pushed harder for more weight. body weight currently ~225. sets were too easy, but went for form and it was perfect.

Bodywieght is 150. I feel I could have gone heavier but I wanted to focus on form and going deep. I haven't done heavy squats before and I wanted to get use to the movement. I didn't go as deep as I could untill the last couple of sets, but eve nthen I should have gone deeper. Still A lot of fun .
