Thursday Workout: Back Squat, Intervals

STRENGTH

Back Squat, 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

*Build each set and work between 90-95%. The goal should not be 1RM attempts, but work heavy across all sets and build as you are able to. If you are fairly new to squatting or did not do the bulk of the squat work in the past 5 weeks, do 5 sets of 3-5 reps building in weight.  Rest 2-3 minutes between singles.

Every 2 Minutes for 5 Sets:

• Box Jump Step Down x 9
