2 Pausing Back Squats

Sets #1+2 – 65%
Sets #3+4 – 70%

3 second pause in the bottom of each rep.

Every three weeks of ascending percentage squatting, we will be taking a reduced intensity week on this movement. This is not a full de-load week yet. Just a holding pattern on our back squats to allow our next push in the coming weeks. Repetitions come from the rack, and let’s ensure that we are finishing each set by the 1:00 mark of the interval. If we do not believe we will be, let’s reduce the DU to 25 or 20 reps.

Conditioning
For Time:
30-20-10
Thrusters (75/55)
Toes-to-Bar

Row Conditioning
3 Rounds, Not for Time:

Rest 3:00 between.

Intended to a conditioning based recovery from our benchmark prior to. 3 x 1000m distances. As an example, if our best 2K row time is 8:00, we would have a 2K pace of 2:00/500m. Our paces for the workout would be as follows:

250m Row @ 2:10
250m Row @ 2:03
250m Row @ 2:10
250m Row @ 2:00

Conversational pace throughout,
Of the three static holds, the dead hang hold may prove to be the most challenging. For all static holds, these are totals, where we can break as seen fit into chunks.
