*HEAVY SQUATS! Our goal for today is to establish a 1-rep heavy squat. After the earlier sets of 5, we should be resting about 2-3 minutes. After the sets of 3, our rest should be about 3 minutes, and then after each set of 1, around 4 minutes. We are looking to make each rep an event and go as heavy as possible for us, today. If we have limitations in our overhead position, you can choose the front squat or back squat.

Big Squat | 100# Front Squat
Going into today’s Big Squat, I didn’t know my 1RM max for a Front Squat. I completed a heavier FS than I had done previously, but didn’t find my 1RM since I was too conservative with how I approached things. Hopefully we will get another Big Squat soon and I can push myself harder.
Back squat: 280
Previous: 275
Bench: 100
Previous: 100
I opted for bench today as I’m nursing some back issues. Failed at 105 although I may have gotten it if I had tried again. Next time! Thanks for the spotting Matt, Sarah and Frozen!
Breakfast Wednesday didn’t disappoint at The Spoon. We might have had a larger crew at breakfast than we did at the 5:30am WOD. We missed our friends observing Yom Kippur today.
