8-8-8 AHAP
Workout
4 rounds for time of:

Cash Out: 30 Wall Ball (20/14)
*The back squat rep scheme is same as what we did for bench press on Tuesday – build to a heavy weight that you can squat 8 times. No tricks here. But as you might’ve learned with the bench press, doing more than 3-5 reps is TOUGH. You can’t go out of the gate that quickly or else you’ll get gassed. Or it might finally ‘click’ how to brace for the squat, breathe at the top, then brace again for the following reps.
The workout is a simple triplet with a wall ball cashout. Simple never means easy especially when you look at the amount of pressing you’ll be doing. If you struggle maintaining a good rack position, you might struggle a bit more as you HOLD the bar instead of letting your shoulders ‘shoulder’ the weight (see what I did right there??). Have fun with this one.
