3) Lower Body Strength:

14 minute time block:

Front Squat

2 x 5 @75+%

2 x 3 @80+%

3 x 1 @AHAP (As Heavy As Possible…with good technique and depth)

*recommend doing a set every 2 minutes

* a good ratio of front squat to back squat is 80%…example: if your back squat is 315, your front squat would be 250. You can use the formula below to calculate your estimated max on your back squat from last week

Formula:

Weight used x reps completed = A

A x 0.0333 = B

B + Weight used = estimated max

Example: if you did 275 for 2 reps

275 x 2 = 550

550 x 0.0333 = 18.315

18.315 + 275 = 293.315 (round to 295)

34:00-39:00

Explanation and set-up for MetCon

39:00-50:00

2 x Snatch @Rx+ 135/95, Rx 115/75, Scaled 95/65

*Pace: Aggressive: 10+ rounds, Solid: 8 rounds, Limit: 6 rounds

*steady pace on the box jump overs, 2 singles on the snatch…this is a similar stimulus to the 10 rounds of step overs and cleans we did last week
