Back Squat (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)

This is part of a targeted week of increased squat volume; the priority is positional quality and consistent depth across every rep, not max effort grinding. Athletes should arrive at each set with a braced midline and a clear plan for the set. The first two sets at higher rep counts are where technique tends to drift; hold the standard on every rep.

Modifications:

Level 1: As prescribed, use 6-7 RPE as the loading guideline

Hotel Gym / Travel: Every 3:00 x 4 Sets, 10 Dual Dumbbell Front Squats

Primer (No Measure)

Time Cap: 20:00

Goals: 14:00-17:00

Stimulus: Leg Stamina

RPE: 8.5/10

Primary Objective: Move through the lunge each round without stopping, selecting a dumbbell load in the primer that keeps the 50ft (15m) continuous or with no more than one planned break.

Secondary Objective: Attack the wall ball sets with a planned rep strategy on round one, breaking the 50 into sets of 15-15-10-10 early rather than going unbroken and falling apart heading into the second run.

Accessories (No Measure)

For Completion:

12:00 EMOM
