chairohkey Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 So I'm basically doing a squat everyday challenge. What is that you might ask? Well its exactly as it sounds. Go to the gym. Get under the bar. Squat. Repeat the next day. The goal is to take at a minimum 400 lb for a ride every day for 40 days straight. Why? Because I want to. Day One 11/9/15High Bar Squat: 45x20, 135x5, 185x5, 225x3, 285x3, 315x2, 365x1, Belt up, 405x1 (Fast), 425x1 (Smooth), 405x1Over head Press: 45x20, 95x5, 135x5, 185x3, 205x3, 185x3x3 Day Two 11/10/15High Bar Squat: 45x20, 135x5, 185x5, 225x3, 285x3, 315x2, 365x1, Belt up, 405x1 (EZ), 425x1 (Smooth), 445x1 (Slow), 405x1, 365x3Barbell Row: 135x10, 185x8x3Hang Clean: 135x3x8 Quote Link to comment

miss_marissa Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 How does it feel so far? I know a few people around here have been doing SED, but not everyone working up to a heavy single daily. I'd like to hear your thoughts and bargaining points so that I may convince my coach to let me do this Quote Current Challenge # 39 | #38 | #37 | #36 | #35 |#34 | #33 | #32 | #31 | #30 | #29 | #28 | #27 | #26 | #25 | # 24 | #23 | #22 | #21 | #20 | #19 | #18 | #17 | #16 | #15 | #14 | #13 | #12 | #11 | #10 | #9| #8 | #7 | #6 | #5 | #4 | #3 | #2 | #1 | Battle Log Instagram | Goodreads Link to comment
chairohkey Posted November 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 How does it feel so far? I know a few people around here have been doing SED, but not everyone working up to a heavy single daily. I'd like to hear your thoughts and bargaining points so that I may convince my coach to let me do this It feels terrible while I'm warming up and it takes me while to get moving properly. Things are stiff and achy but I attribute most of it to me lifting at 5:00 am in the morning. Other than that its been somewhat easy. I work up to 405 my daily minimum and depending on how it felt, the bar speed,my motivational state, etc. determines how far I will push it that day. The benefits I'm seeing are mostly in form efficiency. Your basically greasing the groove every day so singles from the setup to the bounce out of the hole are becoming automatic. With that said I don't think I would recommend SED to most people. One of the reasons I'm doing the challenge is its forcing me to get under the bar. I've been struggling with the motivation to lift recently and I figure this was a good way of compelling myself to find the passion again. Or it might completely back fire and convince me to never lift again.

miss_marissa Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Are you still doing crossfit as well? I like the idea of SED as something to keep the movement pattern going. But I think I would implement as most around here have done and use variations like single leg, goblets, front squats etc. More of a recovery aspect I guess? ramble...
