Front Squat12 min

Heavy Set of 10

Stimulus
  • This is the first week of our 10 rep sets, week 1 is not meant to be something we reach failure on or a true max weight 10 rep set. This week should set the bar for testing your 10 rep next week.
  • Goal is to maintain quality movement, if we hit technical failure we should reduce the weight for a quality final rep or call our lifting there and move on.
  • Full depth and full extension of the hip at the top of our reps is required.
  • Score: Load
Strategy
  • Know that the first 4-6 reps will probably feel pretty good, once we pass the 7 rep mark is about where the reps may start to get a little slower. Aim for intentional and smart reps when we get to this point.

AMRAP 12:
12 Dumbbell Box Step-ups (20")
8 Single Arm Devil's Press 50 / 35 lb

On the 0-4-8:
500/450 Meter Row

* Performed With Single Dumbbell

Stimulus
  • Overview: In this grippy 12-minute AMRAP, we're alternating between two dumbbell movements completed with only one dumbbell. However, the dumbbell work is broken up with a row at 0:00, 4:00, and 8:00. We're looking for roughly 2:00 of rowing and 2:00 of dumbbell work for the three sets. Pick a dumbbell weight that keeps you constantly moving for that full 2:00 of work.
  • Single DB Step Ups: DB held on the shoulder, unbroken.
  • Single Arm Devils Press: Loading should allow us to consistently move through each set.
  • Row: Around 2:00, allowing us to have 2:00 on the AMRAP.
  • Score: Total rounds and reps of dumbbell movements.
Strategy
  • Both movements are completed with one dumbbell today. For the step-ups, it should be held on the shoulder.
