General Training Notes:
We are hitting higher volume on your squats today but at less intensity. Next week you test your 1-RM back squat so this week we are just greasing the groove! Then you get to tackle an OLD SCHOOL workout named after me (well … that was my maiden name). I LOVE barbell cycling so you all get a taste of some heavy barbell cycling today. Please adjust the load if this is more than 70% of your 1-RM Thruster (or 75% of your 1-RM clean and jerk). You can compare your score to July 9, 2019! Can anyone get 10+ rounds?
You’ll get 3 minutes of rest and then have a for time piece to complete. This piece is intended for you to move a heavy barbell for reps and to get in the groove of cycling that barbell. With the weight being on the heavier side you will need to focus on good form, hitting extension and pulling under that barbell. Try to hold onto the barbell for as long as possible, resting with the barbell wedge at your hips if possible to keep from putting the barbell on the floor. Push the pace on the row, especially if you know you have to break your barbell cycling into sets.

Go move some heavy weight today!
