20 rep max.
And now for something a completely different… Today, we’ll be finding a 20 rep max high bar back squat. While this will certainly test our strength and endurance, the true test here is between the ears. If the weight is right, you legs will be screaming, your heart will be racing and the only thing keeping you going will be the voice in your head. It’s up to you to choose to keep going. Let’s see what you’re capable of.
