TRAINING max by taking 90% of your 1 rep max (see yesterday's post for 1 rep max calculator) .

BACKSQUAT
5 reps @ 65% of training max  (example 130x 0.65=84.5 or 85lbs)

Again, this pattern will be the same for each lift this week.


Knee group

Looking to start a "knee-hab" group soon. I'll take you through 6-8 weeks of knee exercises and stretches. This will be a general program, and not specific to any particular injury. I will not be evaluating knees. You will have DAILY homework and I would like to try to meet 1x week to review exercises in person. You need to have your own foam roller, ideally. I would like to start this up in mid-march. $35 a month to participate. We will have a google doc to keep track of one another, and hold one another accountable. If your interested please email me at crossfitkantoplain@gmail.com ASAP.  You may only participate if you are IN Atsugi - no long distance teaching - sorry.

If you found a multi-rep max (such as the 3 rep max) please visit this
link to get an estimate of your 1 -rep max:

EXAMPLE Deadlift 135 x 3 reps = 143 max

TRAINING max by taking 90% of your 1 rep max.
