Matthew Proulx Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 once you get into the SLS/SE2-5 and their matching iM, much better than anything that came before it, specially for flexibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Davies Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Today I hit 3x10 with a 7.5kg weight, again with 60 seconds rest between sets. Warmed up with 1 set of 10 unweighted and 1 set of 10 with 5kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Davies Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 RFESS are a moot point now. As the weight goes up, I'm feeling less and less inclined to add more volume to my squats. Today I hit 3x10 with 10 kg. This marks the first time I felt real activation in my core, and actually I think my thoracic extensors may end up being my weak link in all this.

Guest Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Bipocni, can you do all the way up to SE5 and their iM on SLS? If not, why even try this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Mainente Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 i was doing normal squat, probably without good warm up, 130 kg of squat are not to much! not for my quads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Bearne Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I don't get it, it's like trying to get good at a weighted hinge row when you could be doing rope climbs... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keilani Gutierrez Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 well there was one arm handstand....people threw down pretty hard for that one. then there was weighted dislocates....so it went Strength(or handstand), then mobility. knowing that Coach and Cory can scheme up seemingly "not so daunting" challenges and somehow they're still brutal, i'm interested in seeing what comes next I'm excited and open to another challenge that would take me out of my comfort zone i mean, if it wasn't for the KoTF challenge....i wouldn't even be practicing dislocates right now.

ADRIANO FLORES CANO Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Yesterday I just messed around with hawaiian squats with a 22kg dumbell. +5 reps with a pause of 5seconds at the bottom; really, completely at the bottom, my ass almost hitting the floor. Easy. Just to play, I'm not going to incorporate this to my regular training, I prefer squatting just for the sake of the movement pattern. But is funny because thanks to hawaiian squat my overall lower body flexibility has increased a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I used to be a powerlifter before switching to mostly calisthenics and gymnastics work so my legs are pretty strong and back then I used to also do weighted crossack squats as accessory work. Before I got bored with them I hit 85-90lbs 5x5 holding a dumbbell. Haven't done them in a long while and would imagine 50lbs would be a challenge for me these days.

Jan Reipert Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 i know people at defrancos do coassack squats quite regularly and i´m pretty sure 90lbs is nowhere near any kind record. in fact, i´ve seen quite small people do them with 80lbs.
