Today we start with some front squats for strength, pushing all sets to be working sets. Consider leaving 2 reps in reserve on the first 3 sets and trying to squeeze out a touch more in the final 2 sets. For conditioning, we have a traditional triplet focusing on intensity and local muscle endurance. The movements all vary in function and allow for a challenge to your breathing capacity, but 1 minute of anything becomes quite a bit to manage. Athletes should consider how they will break up the work effectively to keep themselves moving well.
