CFOT Results: Back Squat 3-3-3-3-3 Reps

The standard for legitimate back squat depth laid out by strength coach extraordinaires Rippetoe and Kilgore


Today's workout was another chance to test one's limit strength, and once again followed the same format as yesterday's push jerk workout.

The workout was Back Squat 3-3-3-3-3 reps. And at CFO, we all know who the king of squat is.

Meanwhile, the biggest CFOT-related news involved lots of women jumping into the fray! I guess they were just trying to build some suspense. Lydia, Robyn, Dawn, and Sierra have all joined in on the fun.

Onto the workout results...

Top 3 Women:

Candace & Robyn 185#
Dawn 140#

Top 3 Men:

Connor 475#
Brandon 345#
Daniel 335#


I've updated CFOT point totals through the back squat workout. Please note that some points have been shifted around; Connor push-jerked 250# and was awarded five points for his first-place effort, resulting in Daniel and MJJ finishing second and third, respectively (sorry, Manwell, you were pushed down to rx'd). And on the women's side, things have been shaken up, too. Lydia ended up finishing third on push jerks, resulting in three points, and Robyn was second on push jerks and tied for first on back squats.

We'll once again be testing limit strength tomorrow, and once again it follows the same format. So get your lifting shoes on and get ready for Deadlift 3-3-3-3-3 reps!
