A.
Six sets of:
Banded Wide Foot Box Squat to 2″ Above Parallel x 2 reps
Rest 50 seconds between sets

**Special Notes**
-Load the bar to 60% of your 1RM and then add band tension that takes the lockout to an extra 25%.
-The focus is on standing up out of the bottom as fast as you possibly can. The purpose is not to lift heavy but to lift each rep with maximal speed.

B.
Every minute, on the minute, for 9 minutes:
3 Speed Deadlifts @ 60%

**Special Note**
-The focus is maximal speed on each lift. By maximal speed we mean we want you visualizing as though you were jumping with the barbell you exploded up so hard. If the bar is slowing down at all, stop or reduce the loading.

Sets 1-3: 2 Hang Power Cleans + Power Jerk @ 60%

Athlete Notes:
Sprintervals coming up today. Don’t hold anything back on these. It’s only 3 sets and we’re looking for you to redline early and try to hold on. Hammer the row, hit the ground right away on the burpees, and then hammer the row again. If you’re partnered up, try to beat their times so you can get more and more rest as they get less and less. The lifting is the focus of today’s session but we know that most of you wouldn’t feel complete without lying on the ground afterwards so short, sweet and spicy metcons are going to be a staple of this cycle.
