Skill

Front Squat
2-2-2-2-2

Work up in weight for a heavy double for the day or choose one weight and carry it across for five sets. If you are planning to go heavy remember that we never spot someone who is front squatting. Take an extra step back from the rack so that you have room to dump your bar if needed. Focus on a tight core and high elbows as you drive up out of each squat.

Workout of the Day

AMRAP in 12 minutes
3 Deadlifts
12 Lateral Burpees

standard: 155/105 lb
rx: 225/155 lb
sport: 275/185 lb

Load up your barbell to a moderately heavy workout weight that allows you to perform a set of 3 deadlifts unbroken when fresh. If you are going a little heavier than normal today pay special attention to your midline positioning while under load. Break it up as you need to when you are fatigued but keep your back straight. For lateral burpees it’s chest to deck and then a hop over the bar to complete your rep. Scale to step overs if jumping is not in the cards for today.
