A. Work to a max for the day of: Front Squats – 3 reps.
B. Five rounds for time of:
10 Front Squats 60/40kg
20 Lateral Jumps
*Bar is taken from the ground.
Tips: Elbows, elbows, elbows. If elbows are up, chest it up, torso is upright, weight is on heels – all is good. Descend into the squat with control and as you exit, imagine that you have ropes tied to the tips of your elbows and you’re being pulled out of the squat elbows first.

B. Four rounds of:
1 min Wall Ball 10/6kg (instructional video)
Rest/Burpees (instructional video)
*Minute 1 of the wall ball sets the target number. Perform 2 burpees for every rep less than the target number reached in rounds 2, 3 & 4.
*Well done to Meg who hit a PB Deadlift of 70kg (multiple times) in 14.3 at 47kg B.W!
Five rounds of:
Dumbbell Shoulder Press 8-10 reps
Max reps strict Pull-up
*Rest 2 min. between rounds.
Tips: The weight for the shoulder press is to be maintained. Pick a weight that is challenging but not absolutely maximal for the 8-10 reps. Add weight if you’ve got more than 15/10 strict pull-ups and if you have minimal pull-ups, pick a number to be repeated each round.
