7×2 Back Squats

  • Post Loads to Comments.

Today’s Focus is Strength, so attack those Back Squats!  With CRASH-B’s coming up you also want to make sure your start and settle are dialed in, so use the Rowing WOD as a good warmup for the Back Squats.  Try to settle immediately on the next stroke after your high 7.  In the Back Squats keep your chest up and load your posterior chain by pushing those hips back first.  If you can keep your hamstrings turned on throughout and not let your weight shift to the toes you will train the strength and power we need from the posterior chain through the middle of our drive.  If you have time give “Annie” a shot and try to go unbroken, it’s an awesome challenge.

Have Fun and Fire It Up! It’s Friday!
