WOD – Thu, May 28

Intent

Today’s focus is building the back squat. Load the barbell with intention and let strength be the priority for the day. Athletes should start at a challenging weight and continue building throughout the session. Coaches should be mindful of time management while still allowing stronger athletes enough opportunity to make meaningful jumps in load.

The conditioning piece is intended to be fast, smooth, and consistent. Focus on relaxed running mechanics, steady breathing, and maintaining a consistent cadence throughout. For the wall sits, athletes should be able to complete the prescribed hold time unbroken at least once. If not, scale the duration so the workout remains challenging without turning into an excessively long grind.
