Here’s the start of the 7-13 squat cycle for the next 10 weeks. Do you have what it takes to do it all? Do whatever it takes to complete both days of the program per week for the next 10 weeks.
Squat cycle week 1 day 1
4 sets
7 front squats
Then rack the bar and immediately perform
13 back squats
The bar is at the same weight for all 4 sets
Bar at 60% of 1RM front squat
Make sure to download the spread sheet, enter your 1 rep max front squat in the top box, print it, show up to do the work, execute and PR. BOOM, simple as that. For those on the facebook community page, we shared a copy there. If you’re not on facebook community page, send us an email at crossfitpyro@gmail.com and we’ll send it to you asap. You absolutely need the spreadsheet for this program. Also, we’ll have the sheet on the computer at Pyro so it will be easy to print it front there using your data.
No metcon for today. Lets get a good warm up, focus on good squats sets and cool down stretch. Besides, if you’ve done Sunday’s workout, you’ll need some rest on the old nervous system. The squat sets are 20 reps each for 80 reps total, this won’t be a walk in the park by any means.
This is going to be so fun!!
The running workshop was awesome, expect to see a lot of running drills and running wods from that. Sweet skillz to everyone that participated!!!
*Partner up*
15min to find 1RM front squat
Score is total for the team
Example: Partner 1 200lbs, partner 2 185lbs. Score is 385
Note: 10 weeks squat cycle starting Monday. The cycle is based on our front squat. If you haven’t done it in a while, it might be a good time to figure it out. If you can’t make it tomorrow and haven’t done it in a while, start the cycle with your last 1RM and adjust the weight during the cycle. Chances are, if you haven’t done it a while, it’s safe to add 10lbs to your max for the cycle. Reminder, the squat cycle will be part of the regular programming, every Monday and Wednesday, for 10 weeks. This is going to be well worth it, having stronger legs will help you in every aspect of life and will definitely gets you better in the workouts. Better in the workouts equals more gainz overall, more fitness. I say again, GAINZ!!!
METCON
“Froning/Fraser vs the world”
10 rounds (each, alternating every round, 20 rounds total)
50 double unders
15 toes to bar
5 bench press 225/155
Note: Aim for a 30min workout. About 1:30 per round or 3min per 2 rounds (you and your partner). The bench press is going to be heavy, that’s 50 reps each so scale accordingly. This is meant to be a challenging weight so don’t get surprised if you ended breaking your sets in singles towards the end.

Strength
10min to find 2RM deadlifts
Rest 5min
10min AMRAP
1 power clean
5 wall balls 20/14
2 power cleans
10 wall balls 20/14
…
…
Keep adding 1 power clean and 5 wall balls each round
Power clean is at 50% of 2RM deadlifts
Score is total reps for 10min
Note: Technically, the power clean should be at around 60% of 1RM deadlift. For this workout, we’re going off the 2RM deadlifts and a 50% ratio to accommodate volume. This should be extremely fun
Dear Pyromanians,
I present to you our squat cycle for the next 10 weeks. It is going to be absolutely brutal!! In a good way of course. Get ready to be insanely strong, follow this and you will be a beast. I think everyone would like to be a beast. We’ll be testing our front squat Sunday and start this thing Monday. Our squat days for the cycle will offset the weightlifting on Mondays and Wednesdays. There will be less squatting sets in the weightlifting which will allow us more time to focus more on the snatch, the clean and jerk and accessory work. The chart below is set on my 1RM front squat, Ill share the excel sheet to everyone by email or other means. All you have to do is enter you max front squat and it calculates your loads for the whole cycle. This cycle will bring us to the CrossFit total end of January/early February and right in time for the Open. Seriously, make this a goal, don’t miss a day. Both your front and back will increase dramatically.
First 2 numbers are the week number and session number, third number is the number of sets we’ll be doing that day, fourth number is the number or reps. You’ll be doing 7 reps of front squats, rack the bar and immediately do 13 back squats, 4 times!!! Yes, that insane. As we move towards the end, the sets goes up but the reps scheme change. Are you beast ready???

The Rogue Liftoff at Pyro is Saturday December 2nd (snatch, clean and jerk), Sunday December 3rd (the workout). If you’re a member at Pyro, you have to do this. The best way to do it is to sign up online on the CrossFit games website and show up on both December 2nd and 3rd. If for any reason you still want to take part but do not wish to register for the worldwide leaderboard, you can still come do it, you just won’t have your score online. The nice thing about registering for the leaderboard is that you get to see how you rank in the world against other athletes of the same age and weight class. This is going to be a great 2 day event you don’t want to miss. More info and register at the link below:
