Thursday’s Squat work is very simple – spend 3 minutes on each leg in the couch stretch position.  I recommend 1 minute on each leg, and then switch 2 more times. You can do this at the gym.  Or you can do it on a chair, or even, like it says, on a couch. There is no recommended weight in the workout.  Find a KB that you can move well and try to be comfortable receiving the KB in the overhead position. Workout of the Day Strength/Skill Bench Press 10 at 55%, 10 at 60%, 7 at 65%, 7 at 70%, 3 at 75%, 3 at 80% Conditioning 10 1 arm KB Snatch, switch, 1 1 arm KB Snatch 10 Pushups 9 1 arm KB Snatch, switch, 2 1 arm KB Snatch 10 Pushups 8 1 arm KB Snatch, switch, 3 1 arm KB Snatch 10 Pushups 7 1 arm KB Snatch, switch, 4 1 arm...

So – more on our Squat Club.  We did some heavy squats on Monday.  Tuesday’s suggested work is very simple: accumulate 5 minutes in a squat.  You can do this watching TV, at the gym or at the office.  If you can sit for 5 whole minutes, great!  If this is uncomfortable, use your phone timer and start and stop when your break your squat.  If possible, try this bear foot to see what your feet do while squatting.  Just try to relax in this position – it’s great to stretch your hips, knees and ankles. For today’s strength, focus on that pause.  Do not sacrifice position for weight on the bar.  If you need to lower from the suggested weight, do it. Workout of the Day Pause Deadlift Pause for 2 seconds just below the knee 10 at 55%, 10 at 60%, 7 at 65%, 7 at 70%, 3 at 75%, 3...
