SQUAT PROGRAM – Week 7
Front Squat
3×2 @ >90%
Warm up and perform 3 working sets of 2 reps. Two weeks ago (09/16) we did 3×2 @ 90%. The goal today is to go slightly heavier, if you are feeling up to it. The same weight should be used across all 3 working sets.
Next week is the last week of our squat progression. We will retest our 3RM on Tuesday 10/05.
ACCESSORY
3 sets:
8/8 suitcase deadlift
10-20 v-up
TUESDAY, SEP 28
STRENGTH
Every 2:30 x 5:
2 strict press
No set percentage, but all 5 working sets should be challenging. You can make small jumps as needed.
Note: we will be testing our 1RM strict press next week
METCON
Every 4:00 x 4:
9-8-7-6
Wall walk*
Sandbag-over-shoulder
Max calories on rower in time remaining**
*1st round = 9 reps, 2nd round = 8 reps, etc.
**No rest between rounds
Score is total calories rowed (but keep track of calories each round). With no rest between rounds, find a sustainable rowing pace that allows you to easily transition back to the wall walks.
We are looking to have at least one minute on the rower, so scale back the reps and/or weight to get your there.
WEDNESDAY, SEP 29
METCON
AMRAP 16:
30 toes-to-bar
1111/1000m bike
24 pull-up
1111/1000m bike
18 chest-to-bar pull-up
1111/1000m bike
12 bar muscle-up
1111/1000m bike
Scaling:
Start with the most advanced pulling gymnastics movement, and move backwards from there. Consult your coach to make it down and write it down on a whiteboard so you know what to do. Some examples (biking not shown for simplicity):
30 hanging knee raises
24 ring row
18 pull-up
8-12 strict pull-up
30 sit-up
24 hanging knee raises
18 ring row
12 banded strict pull-up
THURSDAY, SEP 30
SQUAT PROGRAM
EMOM 10:
2 front squat @ 55-65%
Focusing on speed today rather than heavy weight. The EMOM format moves quick so be ready to squat at the top of each minute. If sharing a bar, make sure the plate changes are simple and done quickly.
METCON
5 rounds:
12 dual DB hang squat clean thruster (2 x 50/35)
12 dual DB burpee (2 x 50/35)
FRIDAY, OCT 1
METCON
For time:
1000m run
4000/2700 lbs of power snatch
1000m run
Pick your own weight for the power snatch and calculate the number of reps required. For example, 4000 lbs / 135# = 30 reps.
For scaling, scale the weight to something that you can move well for 30 reps, as if you were scaling down from an Rx weight of 135/95 lbs.
