Workout of the Day
ASSISTANCE
15:00 / 4 Rounds for Quality
6e Box Pistols
8-15 Ring Push-Ups
8-15 Kipping Toe to Bars or KT2B Practice
Notes
Every rep with maximal control and efficiency as possible.
Ring push-ups can be scaled for most abilities. There are a lot of burpees tomorrow so if you’re coming focus more on control and tempo than volume on ring push-ups.
SKILL: Box Jump Plyometrics
3×3 Straight Leg Box Jumps + Depth Drop
5×1 High Box Jumps
Notes
Not only is this going to be fun and educational, plyometrics can be a productive prep before a heavy weight lifting single using the same muscle group.
STRENGTH
Back Squat
Heavy Single
Notes
Work up to a heavy but submax single on the Back Squat today. You’ll use this number as a reference for % work or just a general baseline for the next 8 weeks. Unless you’re feeling great and want to attempt a new PR, try to keep 1-2 reps in reserve and regardless only go as heavy as you can maintain good positions with.

Modified Schedule for Barbell Medicine Seminar next week.
