Scaling:
Pick loads that allow you to attempt to set a PR in the later sets. If you are not comfortable performing very heavy back squats, add a few reps to each set and drill your mechanics, but try to expose yourself to a load that is relatively heavy for you.

After Did 100 unbroken back squats with 135lb 6'15''
Started low-ish then moved to decidedly high-bar back squats:
265-295-315-325-
330-330-335last time:
245-265-275-295-315-320pr-330pr
but that was with knee sleeves and a 12” butt target. This time with no knee support but a 14” butt target. Might be an unsleeved high bar pr but not sure.

(Previous all-time is 360lb, which I hit on the last 1 rep max back squat day. Very happy with a 15lb PR considering I only do .com. Had also PR'd my bench press by 10lb, and overhead squat by 30lb during the Other Total. #crossfitworks )

I bench pressed instead of squatting to give my legs a break and my chest a workout.
205-225-245-265-285-305-325. The last set needed assistance from a spotter.Hip Hop cardio for an hour afterwards.

I was too afraid to go higher than that. I’m more comfortable trying heavier squats on the smith machine where I can set it up so it won’t crush me if I fail.

I have not squated over 300 in about 6-7 years and that was at a parallel if that. Felt good to go low today and move some weight. Did super low sets after at 275, 225, 135.

215's felt harder than the 250, so I just kept going
I believe 270# is my PR--from what I see on the whiteboards in my
garage. No idea where this came from, but I wrapped my
left knee before the 250#--and that helped a lot.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 . Fantastic!

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
Nothing to rant about
WORKOUT THEMES
Testing your squatting strength. Maximal output followed by long rest.
ASSUMED
You can be safe maxing out on a squat
MAIN DECISION
Testing day or practice day?
TECHNIQUE SCALE
Same format, lots of reps per set
CONSISTENCY SCALE
3's or 5's each set, slow motion up and down with a pause on the bottom
INTENSITY SCALE
Do a short burpee set or sprint before each lifting set
MY STUFF
Did 7 sets of 135-lb. front squat x3 reps, slow motion with a pause
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 3
Might be the difference between a high bar vs. low bar squat. In the video, this is a high bar squat which lends the torso to stay vertical....I much prefer the low bar squat myself when getting heavier, which utilizes more hip drive.
Check out this site below for more in depth insights between the two.

Femur length may be a limiting factor is staying vertical. Longer femur pushes your hips back further causing you to lean forward to stay over your midfoot. Calf flexibility is the other factor that can limit getting forward and more vertical. It's all good!!
