WOD – Thu, Oct 16

Intent

(0-5)

Strength endurance development is the goal today. While the obvious emphasis in on squatting as a movement function, it is about more than just going heavy. With the combo of contraction types we will build both strength and endurance. The wall ball reps must be unbroken and should still be as heavy as possible for the unbroken prescription. If no heavy balls are around, feel free to aim a touch higher than the target prescribed if needed. Get stronger today and rest the remainder of each interval.
