Thursday Workout: Backsquat and Shoulder Press

Strength

5-5-5-5-5 Back Squat (same weight as Tuesday; weights will increase in future weeks, no changing weights in the middle of sets, 60 seconds between sets)

and

5-5-5-5-5 Shoulder Press (6o to 70%, 60 seconds between sets, no changing weights)

Mobility

Test: Split jerk landing. Torso straight up and down stacked neatly under an anchored ribcage?
Mob: 1) Spend 3 minutes exploring each hip. Can you hold relax there? Use that PNF!
2) 4 min working on arm flexion (overhead) and thoracic (rib cage region of spine)
extension on the balls.
Retest: Split jerk. Bonus: Does your kipping pullup feel better too?
