WORKOUT

Front Squat (Every Other Min for 10 Min - 7 Reps)

Use the same load for all five sets, spend at least 10 minutes building up to your working weight which should be heavy but not so heavy that form deteriorates in the final sets. Think roughly 60-70% of 1RM if you have that info.

For these squats, make sure the bar is resting on the shoulders with a loose fingertip grip and elbows high! Keep the chest up, but do not overextend the back. Keep the belly tight!

Reach the butt back and down trying to keep the elbows and chest up as you descend. Drive the knees out and keep the heels down throughout. The bottom position should be where the butt is lower than the top of the knee. Do not collapse in this position. Do not go so low that the back starts to round.

To stand, lead with the chest and elbows - keeping the bar on the shoulder and not out in front. Stand fully for each rep.

Shoulder Press (Every other Minute for 10 Min - 7 Reps)

Use the same load for all five sets, spend at least 10 minutes building up to your working weight which should be heavy but not so heavy that form deteriorates in the final sets. Think roughly 60-70% of 1RM if you have that info.

Strict press starts with the bar on your shoulders, full grip with elbows in front. Feet are hip to shoulder width apart. Squeez your butt, your quads and your belly. Keep your chest up, ribcage down. Press the bar straight up so you have to pull your face out of the way to clear a path. Finish with arms locked out overhead, biceps by the ears.

To lower, move your face out of the way and keep your elbows in front of the bar.
