Front squats

Strength 2
Push Jerks
Heavy 5
**Slowing things down a bit and wrapping up the week with our double strength day. We did some front squats and overhead pressing on Wednesday, but here’s a chance to build up the weight. We’ll be taking a break from back squats for a bit, and spending more time on the front squat to see how that improves our front rack mobility and cleans.
We’ve hovered around 5s and 3s for push jerks in the past. And I’m a fan of staying with the power/push jerk stance instead of a splitting. It’s great to improve your strength overhead so you can manage heavier jerk weights in a WOD, where splitting might not be an option.
And since it’s Friday, be sure to get in some bicep curls.
