WOD – Wed, Jan 14

Intent

(0-5)

Today is an upper body rest day for the week, but the lower body will work double time. We are back squatting today to keep strength adaptations flowing. If you feel good, load it up and challenge yourself. If you are feeling banged up or sore from Monday, then you can opt for lighter loads and even some slower squats (3-4 count down, 1-2 count pause, stand style tempo), but remember motion is lotion. Today’s conditioning is a sprint–send it! Scale calorie output to something you know you can hit in under :30 for each and get after those air squats!
