Scaling:
Heavy overhead squats challenge your strength while demanding solid mechanics and good flexibility. Athletes at all skill levels should attempt overhead squat triples. Experienced athletes can go as heavy as possible, while newer athletes will use this workout as an opportunity to drill the movement, potentially increasing the reps for more practice.

165-165-165-165-165 tempo descent out of necessity. (3-4 seconds) 1rm is 220 but that was years ago. This is my current squat snatch max so it’s a good load for me for 15 total reps. Did stretching and handstand presses/lowers. Spent at least 5 minutes in various pancake stretches and then went straight into a stiff/stiff straddle press to handstand hold 5-10 seconds and then slowly lowered my feet back down to the floor. Got about 5 good reps in.

Not proud of this at all. Shoulder dislocation 18 months ago gets in my head whenever I do these. Just need to get more comfortable being low with weight overhead I guess?

lost balance on the second rep at 180.

SLIPS
did this during work on lunch. That means rushed warmup, steel plates and no drop drop. Weights felt heavy enough but woulda probably gotten a bit heavier at home. Didn’t realize how much I missed slips.

*planks with left arm & right foot were a struggle!
15 min run warmup, then SLIPS. Tried to practice everything as 20s on 20s off. L-sits and handstands were rough, so I know where I need more practice.
Haven’t done OHS in at least 2 or 3 years so did 5-5-5-5-5 for technique. Wrists had enough at the end although the weight didn’t feel heavy. At the limit for my technique.

PR for me so that's something.
SLIPS between sets.
Snatch or C&J from the floor.
Practice SLIP (no streches) for 20 minutes ✅
Overhead squat: limited weights and even more limited strength, so I did:
2x 10 DB single-arm OHS L/R | 5 kg DB
2x 10 DB single-arm OHS L/R | 7,5 kg DB
2x 10 DB single-arm OHS L/R | 9,5 kg DB
2x 10 DB single-arm OHS L/R | 11,5 kg DB
2x 5 DB single-arm OHS L/R | 12,5 kg DB
3x OHS w/ bar | 14 kg
3x OHS w/ bar | 14 kg
4x OHS w/ bar | 15 kg
3x OHS w/ bar | 17 kg
3x OHS w/ bar | 19 kg
Really enjoy OHS. Great movement 👍

✅ SLIPS ( my kids even joined in!)
After 30 minutes of stretching & a warm up, I still felt sore as heck. T-spine & ankle mobility = zero! Kept it light & tried to not get too demoralized. Didn’t work! 😅 Sots Presses (are about impossible for me.)
OHSQ: 45-50-55-60-65#s
Lifting in my basement over tile. As sore & stiff as I was I kept it very light & tried to focus on form. SLIP @ the end. 2 min. of each have to get to the barn to feed horses.

Really should have had that last rep at 215. Went down a little casual and lost it forward. Felt good though. Did scales and planks in between early OHS sets. Did the rest afterward.

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
Nothing to rant about
WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENT
Overhead squat - squatting with a heavy weight and as much demand on upright torso as possible
MAIN DECISION
Go lighter and struggle through overhead position or go heavier with a different style of squatting?
TECHNIQUE SCALE
Max effort format, but do snatches instead of overhead squat
CONSISTENCY SCALE
As is, and pick one of the SLIPS instead of cycling through them.
INTENSITY SCALE
Do a 50-m sprint or something else to get you breathing heavy before each set.
INJURY SCALE
Pick one movement you can do in a max effort format. If it's bodyweight, do max reps for sets. Or do an AMRAP in 20 minutes of one of the SLIPS and either the squatting or overhead portion of the OHS.
MY STUFF
I did this yesterday - 165 in between cleaning stuff. Today I struggled like crazy through the double under of yesterday's workout. 19:55, 45-lbs. on thrusters.
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 3
This looks familiar 🤔
I’ll wait a few hours before I believe. 🤣
Lol!
