    Skill
    5 sets of 5 tempo back squat:
    3 second descent
    3 second hold
    Fast up
    3 seconds between reps

    Target 50-60% of your max across all 5 sets

    Keep the weight light enough that this never feels like a shakey or maximal effort.

    Workout of the Day
    AMRAP in 10 minutes:
    4 power cleans
    8 toes to bar

    Use a heavy enough weight on the power cleans that you’re doing singles for the whole workout. Scale the toes to bar so that they’re proportionally just a little bit quicker and easier than the power cleans. Keep an eye on your technique; this is a shorter workout, but it’s going to feel like a long time to be racking up reps on two tough movements.
