BASE Week 6

12-10-8-6 Reps Of:
- Strict Press 95/65#
- C2B
*30 Single Unders After Each Set
This week is our final week of higher volume Back Squats. Your 65% should feel challenging by the end of your 8 reps. The past 6 weeks were focused on building a strong base for our Back Squats, in upcoming weeks we will build upon this with some single leg strength work. Who doesn't love lunges, am I right?!
‘Andy Warhol’ is an upper body chipper to increase Strict Pressing strength and dial in skill work under fatigue. Strict Press should not be broken into more than two sets and we should be able to keep strong form— scale weight as needed. We see Double Unders in class often, this week we are slowing things down with some Single Unders!

Holding onto DBs will help stretch out your arms from the C2B yesterday. Focus on keeping arms long at your sides and good posture throughout.
