Post loads to comments.
Compare to 050731.
Scaling:
Focus on excellent technique for every set. If you have a previous 1-rep max, try to set a new PR. Add weight for each set, but only if movement quality is consistent. Intermediate athletes can perform this workout as prescribed. Newer athletes can increase the reps to encourage more practice with the lift.
Beginner Option:
Overhead squat 5-5-5-3-3-3-3-3 reps

165-165-165-170-175-175-180-185lbs.Tried to get close to my squat snatch max for the reps and above it for the overhead squats. Elbows and shoulders don’t like heavy overhead squats sometimes...Today is one of those times.
15 minutes of slips warmup: 3 rounds:
3 front scale circle over 30” box into
10-15sec back scale hold each side
5 L sit lifts on floor/5 second toe to bar hold
1 minute handstand kick ups free
1 minute plank to down dog/toe touches
1 minute pvc pass throughs

Done 4/8.
My overhead squat is pretty weak, so these 1 reps were all PRs. Hope to go up evem more next time.

Ran out of time. Got 225 up and down in the bottom of the squat but dumped on the way up. Should go 220 then 225.

started well below my 3 rep max knowing that I wanted to focus on form, depth while working towards a 1 rep max

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
Nothing to rant about
WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENT
Overhead squat themes - squatting with an upright torso, pulling from the hips, pushing from the hips, overhead, balance factor (understatement)
MAIN DECISION
Do I have the mobility to make max effort OHS a worth-while day?
TECHNIQUE SCALE
Set the clock to 30 minutes. Do a ton of agonizingly slow sets at a light weight (like 7 sec. on the way down, 7 sec. on the way up). Throw some L-sits in between or handstand descents if you want.
CONSISTENCY SCALE
Don't go quite with a full recovery in between sets; use the same time for each one.
INTENSITY SCALE
Do something like a short sprint or burpees to get you breathing heavy before each set.
INJURY SCALE
Upper-body - back squat instead of OHS
Lower-body - AMRAP in 10 minutes of: 5 slow strict knees to elbows, 5 kipping handstand push-ups. Rest 5 minutes and repeat.
MY STUFF
1 round every 3 minutes for 5 minutes of: Run a little longer than 400 (I hope!), 10 strict knees to elbows on the swingset with the fattest effing grip ever.
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 3
95(x5)-105-115-125-135-145-155-160(F)-160 (PR)
Nicely done!
5-10 reps OHS at each weight
45-55-65-75-85-95-105-115#
Got a late start this morning and just wasn't into it, so just focused on technique. Power snatch to get the bar overhead. Felt good at 115 but had to cut it off there because of time.
95-100-105-110-115-120-125-130-135lbs
Technique work for me.
10-65, 10-75, 10-85, 10-95, 10-105, 5-115(pr), f-120, 4-115, 5-110, 10-95#.
Most productive focused OHS workout ever for me. 115 was my 1rm; it’s now my 1, 3, and 5 rm.
Nice Jim!
