  • 6 x Back Squat

Then, inspired by CF New England’s WOD from 18. May…

AMRAP in 5 minutes

Rest 5 minutes, then AMRAP in 5 minutes

  • 10 x Burpees

Results: Back Squats 135-165-185-200-210lbs. Metcon 3 rounds-2 rounds plus 14 preps-2 rounds. Originally planned to do back squats throughout the workout but only have one rack, so no place to put the bar during the T2B. In this case took the bar from the floor for the front squats since the weight is reasonable.
