Post Overhead Squat Loads and Metcon Time to Comments
All %’s for the strength segment of the workout should be based on your 1RM for the lift and are meant to serve as a guide in your training. You should generally not be failing on any set except maybe your last one of the day. If you’re unsure about your technique or ability to perform a given set safely at the posted %, then use common sense and good judgement. When in doubt, live to lift again another day.
The Metcon is designed to be heavy and fast. Substitute STRICT Muscle Up progressions off the floor with the rings set at a height just above your forehead if you can’t do real Muscle Ups. Do not make them too easy. Use the Deadlift % to make sure it’s heavy enough. There’s a reason there are only 21 reps of each movement here.
OPEN GYM tonight from 7-8pm! Make up a missed WOD or work on your lifts!
