Kinda checked the box today - knees are pretty sore, I'm tired as all get out, and I just didn't have it to go heavy.

5x3@195 with a 3-4 min rest in between. Did low bar back squat as I personally like that squat better then a high bar / am more familiar with the form. I am just joining the CrossFit community this year and have loved doing the WODs!!

Globo wod: If you have a bar, plates, and a squat rack or rig you're good to go. If you're going for a 3rm on the last set of squats use spotter arms/pins, a spotter, or be familiar with bailing out from a back squat safely (Bumpers only for the last one). If you only have a Smith machine today let's load that up (I know, but some are on cruise ships, Planet Fitness or hotel gyms, so this gives them an option). Finish with some unilateral leg work. Dumbbells sub: If you are proficient in pistol squats let's work up to a heavy 3 alternating (6 reps total, 3 each leg). If you're still working on pistols let's do heavy dumbbell bulgarian split squats, working up to a heavy 3 each side, alternating after each set. On either of these if you max the available dumbbells do AMRAP sets.
Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
I'm a big fan of the old Mark Rippetoe articles in the journal, especially his original one about back squats. While some of it may not have survived the test of time (weight on heels, feet turned out), there are two major themes there that are really important: 1) heavy back squats are really good for improving things other than heavy back squats, and 2) there is a general stimulus that heavy back squats provide that makes a lot of other things stronger, even though we don't know exactly why. So with that in mind, make sure you know what you're squatting for today, and also make sure it's either heavy enough or enough reps to where you're out of breath after each set
WORKOUT THEMES
Weightlifitng, single modality, squatting with a dose of stamina affecting the strength (or the other way around)
SHORT MEDIUM LONG
LIGHT
MEDIUM
HEAVY x
COORDINATION SCALE
Same format, more reps per set - probably the only disagreement I have with the official scaling tips included with the workouts - if you don't have the technique down, I've seen 30-70 reps done with light weight or bodyweight to make more progress on getting the form right than 15 reps at a light weight or bodyweight (unless those are static holds included)
STRENGTH SCALE
Give yourself 30 minutes to perform 21 heavy back squats
POWER SCALE
As is, pay attention to the speed of the lifts
MY STUFF
Kinda checked the box, did sets of 155 front squats between cleaning stuff. I might come back to it though
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 5
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!!
