2 Oct 2015

Warm up:
Lower body lift prep
Squat prep/mobility

SQUAT TESTING DAY!

To prepare for our upcoming strength bias, we are testing our 3RM and 1RM back and front squats. Back squat Warm up sets: 5/3/3 and then work up to 3RM (go to fail).  Once you fail, you will add weight and go to fail on singles.

Front squat:  you will be warm from back squats, so warm up with a heavy set of three and go from there, same as above.  Once you fail on your third rep, add weight and go for singles.

ENSURE that you are taking sufficient rest breaks between sets of three.  You can rest a bit less in the singles, but the multiples should have you resting 3-4 mins once it's getting heavy.
