Fitness Strength

Every 2 minutes for 16 minutes, perform Back Squats at the following reps:
6-5-4-3-2-2-1-1

Notes: Slightly different this week!  If this is your first time and you know your percentages, start around 60% and attempt to add load every round. Record your heaviest 1 rep.

Advanced Strength

Every 2 minutes, for 10 minutes (5 sets):  Back Squat
*Set 1 – 6 reps @ 65%
*Set 2 – 4 reps @ 75%
*Set 3 – 2 reps @ 85%
*Set 4 – 2 reps @ 90%
*Set 5 – 1 rep @ 95%

Rest 3 minutes, then perform one set of Back Squat x Max Unbroken Reps @ 90%

Notes: Same as last week with a higher final percentage. Attempt to perform more reps with this heavier weight! All percentages should go off of your most recent 1RM, not a weight that you think you could have hit for a 1-RM. For the max effort set, you are allowed only one full breathing cycle at the top of the lift – exhale, inhale, brace and descend – once more rest is taken at the top, the set is over.
