Re-test kicks off with our 5X5 On Paused Back Squats. If you hit every session this cycle of Paused Back Squats, then you should have no problem going heavier per set than you did on 28Aug.  Get after it!

WOD:

21-15-9:

Am KB Swings (55/35)

So, the intended stimulus of this WOD is that every piece is done unbroken or as close to unbroken as possible.  This means, I start with 21 unbroken OHS, put the bar down, take a breath or two, pick up the KB and do 21 unbroken KB Swings, take a breath or two as I walk to my wall Ball, once ready, pick up the ball and go 21 unbroken Wall Balls. Rinse and repeat for the sets of 15 and 9.

Bar weight -> 75/55 -> as needed (ELITE: 135/95)
