Loading the legs

Nick | 07/06/2016 | 2

It’s a very leggy day today, so we’re going to want to give them every advantage possible.  Focusing on how they connect to the rest of our body will make their job a lot easier.  A tight midline and solid shoulder engagement will make both the back squats and the box pushes last much longer.  And let’s not forget how much the timing of the upper body makes us jump better.

STR:

High Bar Back Squat

4-4-4-4-4

WOD:

AMRAP 8
3 BJ (24/20)
2 push ups
25′ box push
