Events!
We are halfway through the summer but have many events to come. Hopefully you are on Facebook and are ahead of the game – rsvp’ing to invites. If you are on Facebook but feel a little left out make sure you are friends with Alison. If you are not, she can’t invite you. (This is absolutely not a ploy to increase the amount of FB friends she has.)

Workout of the Day
Strength
Back Squat
Establish a 20 rep max
Ok – this is tough. Use small sets to warm up – 3s and 5s. Pick a weight you think you can do and try it 20 times. I would recommend being very conservative, maybe 55-65% of 1RM. Take it slow, rest at the top of each rep, take a break and go again.
If you don’t make it to 20 – that’s ok. Mark how far you got and at what weight. We will try this again, and we will be working with 20 rep sets regularly. This is a mental test as much as a physical one – be tough!
A quick hit – for me, the 20 rep set doesn’t really get tough until rep 7 or 8, then everything to 15 and on – you’re basically taking to Buddha.
Conditioning
Minute 1: 1 Toe To Bar – 1 Front Squat 95/65 – 10 Side to Side Hurdle Jumps
Minute 2: 2 Toes to Bar – 2 Front Squats – 10 Side to Side Hurdle Jumps
Minute 3: 3 Toes to Bar – 3 Front Squats – 10 Side to Side Hurdle Jumps
And so on and so on…until you cannot finish the work required in the minute.
Barbell – men – 95, ladies – 65
If you complete less than 5 rounds, rest 1 minute and start over.
We will use the yellow track hurdles for the side to side jumps. Jump over laterally – that’s 1. Jump back quickly – that’s 2.
