Programming Note
We are entering week 4 of 6 of our overhead squat progression. This week we will practice behind-the-neck jerks. You will need to skill when it comes to OHS squat max out time. You need to get the bar from your back to overhead somehow!
MONDAY, JAN 7
STRENGTH
A1) Back squat 3×6
A2) 2 x 30′ stationary sled pull – 3 sets
Superset A1 & A2. Aim to perform all 3 back squat sets at 70% or more. Load the sleds up and make the pulls challenging! The ropes are 30′, so pull the sled down and back after squat sets.
Great video on rope pulling technique. Skip to 1:35 for a quick demo of the pulling.
