In 25 minutes reach a 1RM in the back squat

Rest 5 minutes

AMRAP back squat at 85% of the 1RM you just completed

 

Coach’s notes:  Post the load you reach for the 1RM and number of reps done at 85%.  We will discuss neuromuscular efficiency relative to the WOD in class.  If you are not attending or want learning a bit before class look at the Big Dawgs WOD for August 9, 2009 and related comments – www.optimumperformancetraining.blogspot.com

 

Attention Moms
CrossFit Preschoolers scheduled for Monday, August 24 at 1 pm will be rescheduled for Friday, August 28 at 1 pm.  This will include our ‘End of Summer PICNIC’ so keep your fingers crossed for good weather and we will be at Arbour Lake!

hit 165lbs and then missed 170lbs in final lift of working set. so that put me at 140lbs for the AMRAP… 4 reps, missed 5th


Got to 110 lbs for 1RM but felt as thought I had more in me.
Only 2 reps at 85 lbs, missed 3rd


1RM – 135#…15 reps at 115#


1RM – 240#
5 reps @ 205


Neil 1RM – 225lbs – 11 reps @ 192..need to go heavy for my 1 RM
Judy – missed class because of work


180 lbs (should have pushed for 5 more lbs) and 3 reps at 152.5


1RM-155lbs
8reps at 132.5lbs


1 Rm – 295 lbs (tried my damndest for 300 but it was just out of reach, probably due to the 10 reps getting up to 295)
8 reps @ 235 lbs


1RM 222.5 PR by 7.5lbs yee haw!
Nice call Brett, coach 6th sense predicted a PR after my 185 rep.

9 reps at 190… interesting stuff.


1RM 295, failed 315 twice…a PR cuz I’ve never done a 1RM back squat before. Think I can get much more, just wasnt feeling comfortable under the bar.
0, yes 0, reps at 250
Some great squats tonight, awesome class


1RM 175lbs 3 reps at 150lbs, really have to work at getting down that last inch.


1RM: 260/270/275/280 (PR by 10lb)
8 reps at 238lb. Was a surprise, expected less.


1 RM – 115# (same as my PR). Might have been able to go up just a bit more, but time ran out. Plus, the 115# were uuuugly, so decided not to push for higher and get hurt.
4 reps at 97.5#
Very interesting class Brett! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!!! It’s fascinating stuff!!!


1RM 335

got 5 reps at 285


315×1, 335 (fail)

Good class…Garrett that was some serious squatting! 400+ pounds is no joke!
