**Starting off our double strength day by repeating a workout from Monday, April 15th when we first introduced everybody to EMOM back squats. It might not *look* like a lot of work, but remember that we’re spending a lot of time under tension here. I think this workout surprised a lot of people, so hopefully you have a better idea of what you need to do to warm up/prepare yourself for squatting, what weight to load on the bar, and how you’ll feel afterwards.
We’ve hammered the lower half this week with the dball lunges Monday, thrusters Tuesday, step ups Wednesday, and now back to the compound movement of the back squat. Take the time to build up to your working weights for both the back squats and RDLs. Quality movement, quality rest. I’m listing an *optional* cashout workout again, but the priority is always on the strength movements.
