Wednesday’s WOD
High Bar Back Squat – Work up to 75-85% of your 1 RM*, then perform 5 sets of 5 reps at that weight – rest 1 minute between sets
Shoulder Press – Work up to 75-85% of your 1 RM*, then perform 5 sets of 5 reps at that weight – rest 1 minute between sets
*Weight should be enough that the last rep of 5 is difficult each time, and REALLY hard to complete for the last set. If you were here last week and were able to complete all 5 reps of all 5 sets with no difficulty, add 5-10# for your Back Squat, and 2.5-5# to your Shoulder Press. (See 1/8 for previous 1 RM)

**Sub anchored back extensions or super mans
