General Training Notes:
We are continuing with your banded box squats. This lift is all about explosive power. Remember that you are recruiting more from your posterior chain on this lift so you want to reach the hips back and keep the shins as vertical as possible. Load the bar to 70% of your 1RM and then add band tension that takes the lockout to an extra 25%. The focus is on standing up out of the bottom as fast as you possibly can. The purpose is not to lift heavy but to lift each rep with maximal speed.
If you have qualifiers or competitions coming up then please prioritize the power cleans. If not, then please do the tall box jumps instead.
Then you get some interval work with pistols or box step-ups. You’ll row at a pace that you’d row for 10 minutes and then immediately go into pistols or step-ups for max reps in 30 seconds. You’ll have 45 seconds of rest and you’ll repeat this for eight sets. The goal is to accumulate max reps of single leg work.

The box squat says 70% of your 1 rm. Is that your 1 rm squat or your 1 rm box squat?
