Tip: PROGRESSION NOTE – SQUATS

We are adding a set this week to your Back Squats. Adding volume in this way is a means of progressing. You don’t have to increase your weight. Attempt to hit the same weights as last week, but do it for more sets.

Next week we will add one final set for the peak volume of the cycle.

Station 1: INTERVAL WEIGHT TRAINING: 10 min

3 SETS
300/240m Row
18 Wall Balls 20/14lb to 10/9′ Target

Loading Note: Since we will see this exercise every Monday, record your weight and increase it next week.
