Strength

Back Squat @ 22X1

  • 4 sets of 3 reps

Notes

Today’s strength is back squats. Each rep will be performed with a :02 descent, :02 pause in the bottom, and :01 pause between reps. Warm up to a weight that feels like a 7-8/10 difficulty. When you finish your first set, you should feel like you could have done a few more reps. Use that weight for all four working sets.

If you do not have access to a barbell, perform odd object, dumbbell, or kettlebell squats. Perform 4 sets of 6 reps with a :05 descent and :05 pause in the bottom. The idea here is, if you do not have anything heavy, slow the tempo down to make it challenging.

Conditioning

Every 5:00 for 4 rounds:

  • 75 Double Unders
  • 20 Toes to Bar
  • 12 Alternating Single Arm Devil Press

Notes

Today’s conditioning is 4 rounds of double unders, toes to bar, and devil press. You will complete one round at the top of every 5:00. Your score is the slowest round.

The double unders should take no longer than 1:00 to complete. Adjust the number of reps or perform single unders.

The toes to bar should be done in no more than 3 sets. You may perform knee raises or, if you do not have a pull up bar, sit ups.

The devil press should take no longer than 1:30 to complete. Use a weight that allows you to complete all 12 reps without stepping away from the dumbbell.
