Still working my way toward heavy squats so went conservative. Plus, low back and knees are tight/sore from installing new water heater yesterday.

As on 210725, limited to a 30 kg bar, so did:

-

Back squat 12-12-12-12-12 reps

--

20 km of biking throughout the day, including 10 km just before WOD.

250 - 260 - 270 - 280 - 290 (5-lb PR)

On the 4th rep at 280 and 290, stalled out but managed to push through and so on both sets had to resort to the "roar-it-out" method on the 5th rep which worked well today.

Is roaring it out kinda like screaming at a wall only you accomplish something?

Bunch of 135 reps and pauses for a warmup then185-225-245-275-305. Probably should taken 235 or 255 to bring up the volume, but whatever. Was on a time crunch and a even worse, a motivation crunch.

Globo scale: most globos have a rack, barbell and weights, so it shouldn't be a problem. If you are using iron plates consider using spotter arms in the rack or a spotter for heavier sets. If you only have a Smith machine and no rack in your globo let's load that up and hit some heavy squats (I know Smith machines are bad, but in Planet Fitness or some cruise ships this is it). If you only have dumbbells do heavy one legged variations of squats, such as weighted lunges, bench step ups, or pistol squats. Use the same set scheme as above, (5-5-5-5-5 each leg); if you max the dumbbell(s) do AMRAP sets.


Busy gym: Hog a rack and do it. If absolutely necessary allow others to work in, but avoid this at all costs.


Bodyweight/ equipmentless sub: let's work some one legged squat variation today, and finish with air squats. Pistols, lunges, jumping squats, ect. An idea is to spend time working pistols, or to do AMRAPs of 5 minutes each of pistols, walking or jumping lunges, then finish off with air or jumping squats. Then do a few hard sprints as a finisher.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

Short and heavy. Squatting with heavy weight, high output with a long rest in between, little extra dose of stamina that makes it quite uncomfortable.


MAIN DECISION

Is my technique good enough for 5 reps to be a good dose?


TECHNIQUE SCALE

Same format, extend to 12+ reps per set, more sets.


CONSISTENCY SCALE

Don't take a full recovery. Game it out before hand to take a set rest in between (just enough to be able to make the lift but not enough to feel "ready" to lift, if that makes sense)


INTENSITY SCALE

Do a short sprint or burpee set before each squat set. See how your form holds up after heavy breathing.


INJURY SCALE

Upper-body - intensity scale, just sub one-arm from squats (most likely more than 5 reps)

Lower-body - 3 5-minute rounds of: 15 knees to elbows, 15 hip extensions. Rest 3-5 minutes between rounds.


MY STUFF

I actually did something yesterday with one of our kids who came in. So used today as more of a rest day. Practiced pistols between mopping segments of the floor and called that my squatting for the day. Also beat two of our soccer girls at soccer at the 4:30 session, which is just another testament to my athletic acumen.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 6
