Tuesday 2/09/2010 ***Back Squat***

Back Squat 5-5-3-3-3-3 Reps

“Finisher” Then 4 Minute Bottom To Bottom Tabata Squats (As A Group)

Mark Rippetoe CrossFit Journal April 2006…The correct stance is taken, with the heels at about shoulder width and the toes pointing out at about 30 degrees. Some people, having been told (often by a football coach) that the toes need to point straight ahead, will need to point them out more than they want to. Some people, having read the muscle magazines and seen pictures of large oily guys with no shirts and no body hair squatting with a narrow stance—“best for isolating the quads, my man”—will take a stance that is too narrow, and will need to be wider than they want to be. This stance is the best for allowing the hips to do their job of lowering and raising; it is not designed to isolate anything but rather to distribute the force evenly between the hips and knees so that everything contributes its anatomically predetermined share of the work to the job.

Today’s workouts:  6am, 7am, noon, 5:30pm, 6:30pm
