Heavy WOD

Back Squat

5-5-5-5-5

Compare to: 2/4/12
Choices:

Ramp -
to a Heavy 5 with the last 3 rounds landing in your Prilepin's chart "Work Sets" (70-80%)
OR
Fixed -
Use a fixed load for all 5 sets, anticipating a failure to complete 5 in rounds 4 and 5.



Form will fail before you start missing.
Good Form = Progress ; Repeated Bad Form = Plateau
... or worse
Remember that little thing called Virtuosity!

Post load + ramp or fixed to comments

Schedule Notes:
Diesel will be closed this Saturday for the Equinox Powerlifting Meet!

Oops I just saw Rookie WOD. Man it's not even Monday. Sorry. FYI Hillary you're still awesome and I still think you should think about the powerlifting meet next year :)

Is the idea that your 'ramp' and 'fixed' methods will converge as you become more experienced?

Evan said...

Hi AJ - It's more that they are just 2 different approaches to the 5x5 protocol

Example:

Ramp
165, 185, (200, 205, 210 PR!)

In this example the final 3 sets are "Work sets", culminating in a PR of 210.

The next time the athlete tries this workout, perhaps they get a PR at 215. This is the most typical approach for the 5x5.

Fixed at 200#
x5, x5, x5, x4, x3

In this example, in the final 2 sets, the athlete finished only 4 and 3 reps of the fixed load. The next time the athlete tries this load, maybe they get:
x5, x5, x5, x5, x5

The athlete would then start at 210# the next time they see this workout, having 'graduated' on 5x5 for 200#

Hope that helps!
