Workout of the Day Mon Sept 13th 2021

CrossFit:

A.) Back Squat (Week 1 of 6) Today starts day 1 of the 20 rep squat program! Every Monday you will be warming up with a 2-3 rep max for the day. Then, choosing the heaviest weight possible to hit 20 unbroken reps with. You only have to complete 1 set! And trust me, if you do this right, it will be all you’re able to do. There is no putting the bar back on the rack once you start… You either finish or you fail during a rep. Each week, we will be going up 5-10 pounds. If you easily hit your weight, then make bigger jumps. If you barely finished and it was the hardest thing you’ve ever done.. You still have to try for 5 more pounds next week! As hard as this program is, it will also slowly but surely, become your favorite program of all time. Time to go to work!

Sweat:

6 Rounds: (36min. Total)

30sec. of Burpee Box Jump Overs 24/20″
30sec. of Rest
30sec. of Cal Bike
30sec. of Rest
30sec. of Barbell Thrusters 45/35lb.
30sec. of Rest
30sec. of Toes to Bar
30sec. of Rest
30sec. of Cal Row
30sec. of Rest
30sec. of Double Unders
30sec. of Rest

30sec. of work by 30sec. of rest is always a fun combo to work through. The goal here is try and hit a number that you think you can repeat each round. My suggestion is to go out the gate at about 80% effort and try to hold onto whatever numbers you get on that first round!

Here’s some minimum numbers I think work well for most:

5 Burpee Box Jump Overs 24/20″
10/7 Cal Bike
10 Barbell Thrusters 45/35lb.
7 Toes to Bar
10/7 Cal Row
30 Double Unders

*DOUBLE PROGRESSION MODEL

The goal on these movements is to get ALL 3 sets for 8 reps. Once you can do that, you add 5% NEXT WEEK. That new load should knock you down to 3 sets at 6-7 reps, but eventually, you will be strong enough to do it for 3 sets of 8 again (might take a week or 2). Then we add another 5% and repeat the process.

Example:
NOTE: 3 x 6 x 95 means 3 working sets, 6 reps performed per set, and 95 is the weight used for each set, for sake of the example.
Week 1 — 3 x 6 x 95lbs
Week 2 — 3 x 7 x 95lbs
Week 3 — 3 x 8 x 95lbs.
Week 4 — DELOAD
Week 5 — 3 x 6 x 100lbs.
Week 6 — 3 x 7 x 100lbs.
Week 7 — 3 x 8 x 100lbs.
and so on….

————————————————-

“RPE” means rate of perceived exertion. RPE of 10 means you can not do any more reps. This is max effort. RPE of 7 means that you’re lifting to the point, where if you had to, you could get 3 more reps. So it’s still difficult, but not EVERYTHING you have. REP of 8 means you have to 2 reps left in the tank and so on..

————————————————-
NO WARM UP SETS are included in any of these sets and reps, so be sure to do 1-2 sets in each section to get warm, but do not count them as “working sets.”
