265-275-280-285-290-295-300-285x2x3 or 4 sets, not sure. Slept wrong and low back hurts a little today but felt no worse squatting heavy. Used a 12” butt target, belt, and lifting shoes. 295, 300, and the last rep at 285 were a grind even though I rested 2.5-6min. (More as I went on) Had a rough night/morning of digestive issues…
Completed 11/2. Still recovering from lower back injury.

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
Nothing to rant about
WORKOUT THEMES
Single modality. Squatting with an emphasis on stamina (more sets than usual). High output followed by full recovery
SHORT MEDIUM LONG
LIGHT
MEDIUM
HEAVY x
TECHNIQUE SCALE
Same format, 10+ reps per set at a lighter weight
CONSISTENCY SCALE
Have a set rest time in between sets (not full recovery) and also be strict on how fast you stand up out of the squat; if it's too slow either try harder or lower the weight.
INTENSITY SCALE
Do a short burpee set or sprint before each squatting set.
MY STUFF
Did a different workout. Probably need to circle back to this one.

Globo wod: If you have a rack, stands or rig, a barbell and plates you're all set. Get to work. If you are using iron plates today use spotter arms, safeties or pins in the rack or rig, or use a spotter for sets near failure. If you are using bumpers without safeties or a spotter know how to bail out before going heavy. If you only have a Smith machine and no bars/rack, let's load it up today, then do unilateral leg work post. Dumbbells sub dumbbell weighted pistols or dumbbell bulgarian split squats depending on your capabilities. If you max the available dumbbells do AMRAP sets.
Bit confused on the programming for today; should we build to a 2RM or do a dynamic effort day?

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!!
