4 sets of

  • 6 x Pause Back Squats @ 80% of 3RM

Then 2 sets of

  • 20 x Front Squats @ 50% of Back Squat Weight above

Then a Kettlebell finisher from Joeller Blades on Instagram..

In a kickstand stance (one leg stepped back behind the other), with a single Kettlebell, AMRAP in 10 minutes

  • 2 x Kettlebell Deadlift
  • 2 x Kettlebell Cleans
  • 2 x Kettlebell Squats
  • 2 x Kettlebell Push Press
  • Repeat on other side

Results: Used 160lbs for the Back Squats. 80lbs for the Front Squats. Metcon used 24kg… 8 rounds (maybe only 7, wasn’t using a counter). 24kg was quite heavy… probably could have used an 18 and had better form.
