If you have been in every day this week, use today as an “active recovery” day. Go for a run, bike ride, swim, or relax on the beach! If you were unable to come to the gym on Monday, please be sure you find your 5RM back squat. We will be starting our new strength cycle next week.

If you have any questions, or need help creating a workout, please ask one of the coaches. Still sign in to class and show up on time because each class will begin with a coach led warm up.

Today’s Workout

Strength:

• Take 20min to build to a heavy set of 5 back squat. 
  • This is the beginning of our strength cycle. Here are some points to keep in mind:
    • Do not stress on a true 5RM, just take the 20 min and get what you can.
    • Stretch Reflex– meaning, hit the BOTTOM of your squat. Not just past parallel. This will translate over to your clean and snatch.
    • Control the descent, hit the bottom, EXPLODE out. Be fast coming out of the hole. 

Conditioning:

• 5 Rounds For Time:
  • 40 Double Unders
  • 12 Burpees
