Last time hitting Back Squat this cycle before we re-test our 5X5. Today, the goal is to knock out a heavy set of 5, move up in weight, hit a heavy set of 4, move up in weight, hit a heavy set of 3, move up in weight, hit a heavy set of 2, and then finish a little heavier for a good heavy single.  Now, that does NOT mean you have to hit a new 1RM, but,…If the weights are moving good and you feel strong, feel free to give it a shot on that last set.  If not, make it heavy for today!

So, while we want you to go fast, we also want every stroke on the rower count.  Don’t just try to move yourself fast from catch to extension.  Drive with those legs, extend the hips, and lastly pull hard with the arms EVERY stroke.

Banded hamstring stretch – 1 min per side
