Workout Brief

Feel: Muscle/Reach / Pace: Gas

We want to be challenging ourselves on all of the back squat sets today, but the main goal is to find a new two rep max. Build up in a way that will allow you to do that efficiently.

This workout is completed solo, but will be you go I go style with a partner. Every round is 3:00 of work with 3:00 of rest. The objective is to accumulate as much volume on the Power Clean as you can. Pick a weight that you can hit comfortably well, but breaks down under fatigue.
