4 rounds

  • 3 x Back Squat @ 90% of 1RM

Then 3 rounds of

  • 10 x Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat per Leg @ 16kg per hand (complete all reps on one leg then switch to the other)

Then for time

  • Row 3k @ Zone 2-3

Results: Back Squat 230lbs/104kg. Zone 3 for me should be between 129-155bpm (Whoop calculates it lower so I kept it at top of zone 3/low zone 4 on the Whoop activity monitor). Metcon 13:33… hard not to go faster.
