And this number only represents those actually tested and going to specialty clinics. Type 2 diabetes and obesity are not medical in origin. It’s not primary thyroid disease, leptin deficiency, or cortisol dysfunction. It’s a behavioral and psychological problem. As a society and on the individual level. And when kids are involved, it’s a parenting problem. 7 year olds don’t drive themselves to the supermarket and buy themselves a soda. It’s our job to feed our kids properly, and teach them what their bodies do and don’t need. It’s back to school. With that, it’s time to change habits.

It’s pretty cool to see the order that the squat sessions have been programmed over the last 2 weeks: back squats on 8/21, front squats on 8/26, and now overhead squats. This is a cool way to organize heavy squatting sessions, moving from least complex to most complex, over the course of a couple of weeks. I like this rep-scheme as it allows for plenty of time to practice and refine mechanics. At submaximal loads, athletes will have multiple chances to dial in technique and prepare themselves for near-maximum singles…..which is very beneficial for overhead squats. I will have most of my athletes attempt this workout as prescribed, as long as sound mechanics are maintained. My experienced athletes will be coached to start their work sets at roughly 75% of a 1 rep-max and to achieve near-max loads on the final set of 3 reps and the final set of 1 rep. For less experienced athletes, I will likely remove the sets of 1 rep and have them continue to perform sets of 3 reps at submaximal loads. This will provide them with optimal volume to continue technical development. As with all heavy days, I will reduce load on the remaining sets if an athlete’s technique significantly deviates from sound mechanics or if there are multiple failed attempts. This movement can be very difficult for a lot of athletes, but improvement come through practice. For this reason, even if I have athletes that really struggle with this movement, I will keep them at light loads to work on refining range of motion and mechanics. However, there might be special situations where I modify the movement slightly. Some options, I may use, is to squat to a target that allows for sound mechanics, even if above parallel, and/or potentially elevating the heels to allow for a more vertical torso (though I only do this with very light loads). In very rare instances only, I may have athletes perform a heavy back or front squat followed immediately by some light barbell behind the neck strict presses or PVC overhead squats. I may use this strategy for an athlete where mobility issues severely limit loads on the overhead squat and I want them to still achieve the heavy loading stimulus of the day.

5@20lbs, 5@33lbs, 3x3@83lbs, 4x1@123lbs

Did sets 5 across. No 3s or 1s. 200 - then 155lbs across. My overhead squat is getting weaker, so I decided to up the volume.

5@ 65 lb., 75, 80 3@ 80, 80, 80 1@ 85, 90, 95, 100 Stayed focused on achieving full depth and keeping arms actively locked out.

This looks really good, but a few additional details would be nice -- such as what temp to set the oven and for how long as well as how many servings it is.

Globo Scale: If you have bumpers and a place to drop you can do this as rxed. If you have to pull from the ground, do it. If you do not have bumpers, practice Overhead squats, and build up with a bar you can control back to the ground or rack (or a PVC pipe or empty bar if your gym prohibits overhead squatting), then do Front Squats in the same rep schema (Remember spotter arms or spotters). You can also do dumbbell OHS alternating (5l, 5r, 5l, 5r, 3l, 3r, and so on). If you max the dumbbells do AMRAP sets.

Champions Club Scaling Notes: RANT: One thing I found with the 20-minute SLIPS piece is it works really well in between sets of a max effort. It keeps me moving, makes me practice them when I wouldn’t otherwise, and helps me connect those shapes back to the lift. When I want to work on it as a stand-alone thing, I like to pick 2 of them and alternate back and forth. This gives me enough volume to both feel muscular fatigue and improve my overall feel for the specific shapes. For instance, I picked Scale and Handstand descent as my two SLIPS today, and I held longer on my scale than I had before, and I control-touched my knees to my elbows on the descent before falling on the handstand. I don’t think I would have done that well if I had included L-sits and Planks in the mix too. Check the last one for scaling details

Warm-up for 190903: GENERAL WARM-UP Warm-up is intended to increase the heart rate and improve squat and overhead position. 2 rounds of: 50 double-unders or 30-seconds of practice 5 air squats + 5-second pause with heals elevated 5 air squats + 5-second pause with feet flat on the ground 5 air squats + 5-second pause with toes elevated 15 reverse grip PVC pass-throughs 30-second reverse grip bar hang SPECIFIC WARM-UP Develop and refine the points of performance for the overhead squat. Perform 5 reps of each step with an empty barbell: - Behind the neck snatch-grip push press - Tempo overhead squats (3-sec down & up) - Overhead squats Build up to first working set by performing reps of 10-7-5. The first set of 5 should be approximately 70-75% of 1 rep. max.

INTENDED STIMULUS . Heavy day! Overhead squats are one of the many contributions of CrossFit to the fitness world. It is as much of a strength movement as it is balance and flexibility. It requires focus, respect, and composure. Let's get after it! Today go as heavy as possible. Take the first sets as opportunities to dial in your movement, take your time descending and maybe pause at the bottom a couple times. Treat this as a gymnastic movement: own your shapes and the path between them. Athletes for whom their max overhead squat is considerably lower than their front squat and back squat should know they have some flexibility, motor control or balance restrictions. Today is a good day to work on those restrictions. The best way to do this is to work only with loads at which you can find awesome positions and stay in those positions for a LONG time. Remind yourself: shapes and mobility are earned by working hard to get strong in those ranges of motion! Athletes new to overhead squats can work on overhead mechanics and squat mechanics. NOTE ON SLIPS We are back to the percentages! We did some assessing in 190810. If you did not do that, do it. Otherwise, here's an idea for today. 3 Sets through all the positions holding each with the best form you can. Set 1: 20% of your max hold Set 2: 25% of your max hold Set 3: 30% of your max hold OPTION 1 9 sets building to a heavy-ish set 3 Tempo Overhead Squats @2211* *take 2 seconds coming down, 2 second pause at the bottom, 1 second coming up, 1 second pause at top. OPTION 2 5 sets 30 seconds barbell overhead hold (play with height) 30 seconds squat hold rest 1:00 then Tabata of PVC overhead Squats rest 1:00 Tabata of Overhead PVC Lunges .
