**For those who did the Strength Club on Sunday, this should look familiar. As I said in class, “no one has died from squatting too much.” Yes, it happens that we squat 2 days in a row, or 3-4 times a week.. yep. *shrug* You walk every day, you take the stairs every day, so why should this be any different? The difference is the volume and intensity of each squat day. Maybe you spend a little more time warming up with stretches and the hip circle, or you do fewer working sets, or your build up sets are sets of 5-6 reps until you get to those last 2 when you know it’s time to hit those 8s. Do what you need to do, but HIT.DEPTH. Call out your rack mates. “Bro, get lower.” We all know what the crease of the hip below the knee looks like, so hold each other accountable.
The workout might look familiar to others based on those dates. I love this bad boy, and hopefully you aren’t fried from burpees in 20.1. But it’s a fun one and will get the heart rate up. Race the person next to you, but get that hip extension – ie, stand up! If you need to scale the weight on the TGUs to move faster on the burpees, then do so. This isn’t a TGU workout.
