Skill
5 sets of 5 strict press
Use ~70% of your max
On the last set, feel free to go for a max set. You can use the number of reps you get to calculate a theoretical max using the charts posted in the gym. Ask your coach if you aren’t sure how!
We’re working through one more 4-week cycle of back squat on Mondays and presses on Tuesdays.
Workout of the Day
AMRAP in 12 minutes:
5-10-15-20-25-30…
Overhead squat
Toes to bar
The sets in this workout will get large quite quickly. Prepare for that jump in volume by conserving your energy in the first few rounds. Use a barbell that lets you always hit sets of 5-10 on the overhead squats. Drop the overhead squat to a front squat if your mobility doesn’t let you securely pass through that range of motion. It’s ok for the toes to bar to break a bit by the end of the 12 minutes, but you should scale them so that you can hit sets of at least 3 to 5 at a time for the first half of the workout.
