- Strength Day y'all!
- The king/queen of lifts, the Back Squat, is a fundamental movement that should get moved in as many different ways, plains, loads, etc, as possible. Today you are attacking lots of sets of two reps. This one requires you to be more tactical about where you start out.
- Start a little more conservatively than you would in say a 5x5 WoD and build gradually across those early sets. If you can reach the 90% mark (& beyond) as you get near those last few sets then you are on the money. Beware of coming out too hot and burning out too soon! It may not seem like a lot of reps when reading it on paper but know that your Central Nervous System (CNS) will be going nuts as you load up the real high percentages over & over.
- Lift Heavy* Use spotter's. Have fun!!
- *= "Heavy" is a relative term. Meaning that the actual number of kgs does not matter. What does matter is that YOU have lifted as Heavy as you were able to safely, & in turn YOU forced an adaptation upon your own body.
- Hold the standards. Form is priority as always.
- Scale as needed.
