3 ways to squat

Cardio
Strength
Metcon

A good all-around workout that touches 3 different modalities. Hitting a strength section in the middle after a fast mile run shows you can hit high numbers under fatigue. Then a really fast tough finisher testing your lactate threshold and if you can hold on to a high number of thrusters.

Reminders:
  • The run in part 1 has two different purposes, warm you up for the session and also to get a fast run in and to see if your mile time has improved.
  • You are trying to get the run under 10 minutes as fast as you can to give you as much time as possible to complete as many rope climbs in the time remaining.
  • On the squat block. Its your front squat that you are pushing to around 90-95% of your 1RM near the end of the 15 minutes. The back squats should be a lot more manageable.
  • The exercises in between are there to work your midline and tricep strength to improve your overhead pressing
  • The finisher is a sprint and you are trying to get through it as fast as possible interval style so you will be working for the 1 set of numbers then resting 1:1 or do it with a friend.
