Monday, October 4 'Back squat/rope climb'

This was a monster session. Heavy volume, and high intensity to match. Which set was most difficult for you? For me, the third set, thirty reps, was really difficult. We had a few guys go as prescribed today, and a few scales of either the rope climb or the squats, or both. Remember, scaling allows for greater intensity levels, and intensity is what we're after...

95 pound back squat, 50 reps
Rope climb, 5 ascents
115 pound back squat, 40 reps
Rope climb, 4 ascents
135 pound back squat, 30 reps
Rope climb, 3 ascents
155 pound back squat, 20 reps
Rope climb, 2 ascents
175 pound back squat, 10 reps
Rope climb, 1 ascent

Great session Eric, and Todd! Going as prescribed. You guys are strong. Also, great work LaRunda, and Lisa P.  You two are quickly getting up to speed as you roll onto the on ramp toward the intensity highway.
The rope climbing is getting to be much easier than it was. Longpants help too. The squats all looked good, tall chests and rooted heels, good drives and strong finishes. Much more important than how much weight is lifted, how well its lifted is what counts.

The squat, along with the deadlift, is one of the most functional movements we see. We squat repeatedly every day in real life activities.

Thanks for all the terrific effort. today, great fuel. Standby for Tuesday, and be ready to roll strong.

Be someone special.
