Warm up-
10 Minutes to complete 40 perfect air squats against the wall, if you are not low enough we will set a wall ball behind you to squat to.

5 sets of 5 back squats
You know your 20 rep max… don’t hold back on these. build to a very heavy set of 5. do a couple warm up sets then start in on your sets of 5. Your final set of 5 should be much higher than your 20 rep max.
