- Coach Jimmy, here, we are at CrossFit Deep.
Squat challenge.
Four days in a week, two days on, one days off,
two days on, today is the last day of that.
But, I'm gonna show you a little bit about
what we've done over the past week.
And, show you a little bit into today,
and then, hopefully, here in a second I'll get Chip out here
to kind of explain this program.
(smooth groove)
For those of you that don't know, I've been taking private
CrossFit lessons from Chip Phillips.
- Recording live
- This is the man. - from CrossFit Deep Ellum
- My background's not in CrossFit.
I don't consider myself a really
accomplished CrossFitter or lifter.
As far as olympic lifts go, even squats, deadlifts,
obviously clean and jerk, snatches,
all those things are super out of my comfort zone, so,
I kinda make a habit of trying
to get out of my comfort zone.
(exhales)
- [Chip] Set one.
Yeah.
- That was heavy.
- [Chip] Yeah, we're not gonna have a super set.
- OK, I'm not, my ego doesn't care.
So, I've been working with Chip for about year now,
and one thing we're realizing is a lot of people know me
as Jimmy with the good squats from Insanity
- I'm going back here to Jimmy,
'cause he has that good squat.
Jimmy has that good squat.
- We're finding out Jimmy's squats weren't that great,
and had a lot of room for improvement
when it came to lower body strength.
And, even just learning how to maximize
the potential of my lower body,
I've always been pretty thick in my lower body
Alright, Set number three.
- [Chip] Accelerate the bottom.
Good.
- That's what happens when you're a hundred pounds
overweight for most of your life.
You carry around a lot of weight,
so I've always had ample backside and legs.
So, not long ago, Chip said, "Hey, we should
we should accelerate this leg strength."
- [Chip] Good.
Lookin' strong, man.
Hello world, lookin' good today.
- [Jimmy] Thanks! This is Chip Phillips.
- It's called Smolav Jr.
Basically, one of Jimmy's limiting factors
on not only running, but primarily the CrossFit movements,
the thrusters, wall ball, clean,
just the ability to stand up with weight
is limited by his leg strength.
And, we've kinda been putting off of very focused,
concentrated squat cycle for a while
because he's so interested in a wide range
of fitness and being very balanced.
But, we finally got to the point where we're like,
we're very limited by his leg strength.
No, the last one was great.
You can probably keep your shirt off, though.
- If I take my shirt off, does it make my set better?
- [Chip] Yeah, yeah.
It's much better.
That's what I meant by strength and aggression.
(Jimmy grunts)
That's good, man.
- And, what's really cool is, all the home workouts
I've done with Beach Body, specifically P90X, P90X2,
Insanity, Asylum,
Insanity Max 30, Body Beast, and A Week of Hard Labor,
have really prepared me to be able to even do this,
to come in and, obviously I have a long way to go,
it's not like I come in here and I'm super proficient in it.
But, I feel like I'm more prepared because I invested
in those home programs and did them for so many years
that I can jump into an unknown commodity like this
and at least tread water pretty well.
(exhales)
- [Chip] Get those knees out, let's go.
Way to finish, way to finish.
- That was a little scary.
Uh, is it gonna keep going up?
I hadn't had one of those in a while.
- So, we are hittin' it hard for four days a week,
70% to 85% range and huge volumes.
It's an intense cycle that is not super maintainable,
so you kind of smash it into three weeks,
and then you follow it up with lower-volume,
higher-intensity stuff, as well, that can
create that initial hypertrophy and then lead to strength
gains down the road, but, long story short, he needs it, so.
- Home stretch
- [Chip] Take a breath.
(inhales)
Big drive! Big drive! Big drive!
That away.
- That one actually felt better than the last
- [Chip] Alright, 20 seconds.
Come on!
Keep it tight.
Take a breath, narrow up your feet,
narrow up your feet, come on,
big drive, let's go Jimmy!
Big drive! Big drive! Big drive!
Finish, that a way.
You got eight minutes to get two sets done.
- As you can see, that's pretty challenging,
those last two sets.
Set number nine, ended up having to bail.
- [Chip] Hey, dude, you gotta get this on your own,
I'm not spottin' you, let's go.
No bailing.
Let's go Jimmy, get real with it, come on.
Come on!
Big drive!
Good!
(Jimmy grunts)
Take a breath, stay under it.
A little bit faster, come on, man, let's go!
Come on!
Drive! Drive! Drive!
It's alright.
- We probably needed to keep the breaks
between a little longer, we had started to shorten
the breaks between sets.
But, knew how to safely bail out of that.
There's something in my head.
I just was talking to Ashley the other day about
Choose Your Own Adventure books,
which you may not remember those, but they were books where
you get to a certain point and you'd be like,
oh, you can go in the cave or you can go down the path.
If you went down the cave it was a dragon that ate you,
and so, I was just sitting there thinking, I was like
alright, here's your Choose Your Own Adventure book, Jimmy.
You either, one of these reps don't go well,
or you fight through it and you finish
this thing like a fuckin' champ.
And I'm like, I don't even like thinking that,
because you give yourself an option in your head,
that's when I'm like, how do you get rid of that?
Got the make-up rep, and then even that last set,
as you can see, that last one, my midline kinda broke,
my back rounded a little bit.
So, before you leave me a bunch of comments
and tell me about how my form sucked in the last one,
you go do ten sets of 3 reps of 85% of your max
and come back.
- [Chip] You know, choose your own adventure.
- One rep?
- [Chip] One rep.
A little make-up set here, let's go.
Come on.
Good.
That's more like it, good.
- And, maybe your max is a lot
more than mine, I don't know, man.
Ever since I started this, I called it project no ego.
And, it wasn't about
bowin' up against some other dude
or bein' the strongest dude in the place,
it was getting out of my comfort zone
and stretching my limits.
And, this definitely has done that.
I said, the only reason I'm like OK,
no spots, because I need a video guy.
- [Chip] Maybe 'cause you're not a bitch!
- I might get a tripod.
Here we go.
- [Chip] Let's go. - Ten.
- [Chip] Come on, let's go, Jimmy.
Last set, come on!
Heels, little bit lower, let's go.
Good, come on, one more, one more, one more.
Finish it. Finish it.
Drive! Drive! Drive! Drive!
That a way, wooo!
- Hey.
- [Chip] Rock 'n' roll, baby.
- I have no history, I didn't play football growin' up.
I wasn't in great shape in high school,
so, at 40 years old, I'm in the best shape
of my life right now, this is my best.
And so, four days of pretty heavy squatting this week
on top of all the other things that I do,
using my Beachbody On Demand, Body Beast,
my running clubs, I keep my workouts pretty varied.
So, Smolav Jr, week one in the books.
I'm sure my ass will hurt a lot tomorrow as I travel.
But I just wanted to kinda update you on the journey.
What I would love is, two things, man.

Man, thanks for the subscription, thanks for watching.
Until next time, I'm Coach Jimmy.
