WEDNESDAY WORKOUT

All right... Time to get into the next part of our squat program... INTENSITY!

STRENGTH:
Back Squat
5-5-5-5 @ 85%
(3:30 clock on work sets)

Warm Ups:
60% of your ONE REP MAX for 5 reps, 70% for 3 reps & 80% for 2 reps...
(You will get 6-8 minutes to do your warm up sets)

Use your Back Squat 1RM for calculation or simply add on 5-7% more to the weight you have been doing the last four weeks...

Here's an easy example, just in case...

Let say the weight you have been squatting with the last several weeks was 145#...

145# X .05 is 8-10# so add this weight onto the weight you have been doing (so in this case your new weight would be 153-155#) and do all of your work sets with this new weight...

WORKOUT:
500m Row (This has to be a "controlled" SPRINT...)
Max Rep Push Ups with whatever time you have remaining before the cutoff...
(4 minute cutoff)

If the row will take you longer than 1:55 (m)/ 2:10 (w) then scale your distance down some & NO KNEES today... Use an elevated barbell to scale... Really take pride in how your push ups look!
