  • Set 1 – 6 x Back Squats
  • Set 2 – 5 x Back Squats
  • Set 3 – 3 x Back Squats

  • Set 5 – 2 x Back Squats
  • Set 6 – 2 x Back Squats
  • Set 7 – Max Unbroken Back Squats @ Set 3 weight (pause only to exhale and inhale at the top)

Then do five rounds for time of:

  • 40 x Double-Unders
  • 20 x Dumbbell Thrusters @ 8kg per hand (wallball weight)
  • 10 x Pullups

Results:  For the first part worked up to 205lbs.  Set 3 weight was 155lbs. Did 13 reps in set 7.  The Metcon took 11:52.
