6.17.13 SWOD

Warmup

Strength

  • Back Squat
    • 2-3 warmup sets @ 50-60% 1RM

Use the same weight (as appropriate to your strength level) for the deadlifts and power cleans. Deadlifts should be fast and relatively easy, but maintain good form and engage your muscles as if you were pulling heavy.
