For today’s buy in we are going to attempt a 17-21 rep max backsquat.  Warm up with a few sets, then choose a weight you feel you can perform at least 17 reps with.  Crying is allowed.

For the workout we are going to perform a task priority triplet broken into two parts.  You will perform 5 Rounds of the triplet of press, push press, and toes to bar.  For the first part the weight will be 115lbs for men and 95lbs for women.  Once you have completed this part record your time and rest for two minutes.  After two minutes of rest, start your second set of 5 rounds of the same triplet.  This time you will drop the weight from 115 to 95lbs OR choose a load that is about 75-85% of the original load.  The goal for this workout is to keep the intensity as high as possible for both sets and get comparable times, if not faster for the second set.

For the cash-out spend some time focusing on stretching your quads, hamstrings and glutes.
