Strength block:
Back Squat 5-5-5-5
Press 5-5-5-5-5
Today we focus on building strength in the hips and knees (the squat) and the shoulders and elbows (the press).
Both of these are functional movements with a great deal of benefit.
We focus on these alone today because the 5-5-5-5-5 loading pattern is a perfect opportunity to work with a challenging load while maintaining good technique.
Keep your rest intervals long. Coaches will give you one point of improvement. Focus on that for all reps and sets.
Warm up until you can hit a depth that carries your hips below your knees (see the picture).
