OPEN HOUSE We’ll be hosting an Open House coming up in a few Saturdays (and Atlanta Krav Maga will be having their Grand Opening in Marietta that day as well). If you have friends who might be interested in some of these classes, please let them know about the Open House coming up! Direct them towards our Facebook Event Page where we’ll have registration links up and running! If you’re around town that day, please drop by and say hi, have some Buffalo Wild Wings …

Levels 2-4
20:00 – 35:00
Back Squat
Spend 15 minutes working up to a heavy triple. This should take 4-5 sets.
Monitor your time–the class moves on regardless of how much time you waste being unprepared to train.
35:00 – 40:00
Then, within five minutes, perform the following number of Back Squats at bodyweight (or 80% of your heavy triple–go with whichever is the lower weight) in AS FEW SETS AS POSSIBLE.
L4 – 20 reps
L3 – 10 reps
L2 – 10 reps
If you hit your reps in one unbroken set last week, then you should go 5-10# heavier this week (try to increase your heavy triple set as well).
Obviously the goal is to complete the reps in one set. But you should NOT fail any reps. If you can’t get them all unbroken, just rack the bar and do another set after resting a minute, until you’ve hit your required number. Use spotters. Ask your training partners to check your depth and keep you honest–we only count clearly below-parallel squats. If you aren’t getting depth, ask your coach how to address the issue: mobility work, squat technique practice, or just sucking it up. No participation trophies here, this is training for grownups: if you do the work, you get the credit; if you don’t, you know what you need to do.

L3 – 22/16 (see above)
L2 – select a weight that allows you to effectively practice the Squat Jerk
L1 – sub regular thrusters if rotation is too challenging, don’t worry about squat depth on the Jerk
