Coaches Notes

This month we are going with a strength movement, the back squat! Don’t worry, improving our back squat does not mean we are going to squat every day. The squat is one of, if not the best compound lift you can train. Just imagine how light that wallball will feel the next time we do Kelly if your squat was 50lb higher. Granted, you all probably never want to see that workout again.

Coach Rip on why we hold our breath when we squat, always cracks me up
