Workout description

For Time: 50 Back Squats (135/95), 40 Burpees, 30 Overhead Squats, 20 Burpees & 10 Front Squats

Warmup:

10

min

Equipment:

Barbell, Rack Recommended

Cooldown:

5

min

Modality:

Gymnastics, Weightlifting

Coaching notes

Begin with a warm-up focusing on lower body mobility and a general cardiovascular buildup. For back squats, use a weight that allows for good form across many reps. If 135/95 lbs is too heavy, reduce the weight to maintain proper technique. For burpees, maintain a consistent pace, allowing for short, controlled bursts of effort. This will help manage your energy throughout the workout. In overhead squats, prioritize form and balance. If the prescribed weight is too challenging or if you're limited in equipment, substitute with a lighter barbell, dumbbells, or even a PVC pipe to focus on technique. For front squats, maintain an upright torso and a full range of motion. Again, adjust the weight if necessary to ensure safety and proper form. This workout is a test of strength and endurance. Pace yourself, especially in the squat segments, to maintain a consistent effort throughout. Post-workout, cool down with stretching, particularly focusing on the legs and lower back.
