Specific Barbell Prep (4-6 min)
Focus on bracing and breathing mechanics in the squat with the goal of 20×1 Tempo
In a workout tempo of “20X1”, the “2” indicates a 2-second eccentric (lowering) phase, “0” signifies no pause at the bottom, “X” means an explosive concentric (lifting) phase as quickly as possible, and “1” means a 1-second pause at the top

Perform
10 Empty Barbell Reps
5 Reps @ 50-55%
3 reps at 65%
Then Get starting Loads on the Barbell
Strength
Back Squat
Every 4:00 minutes x 3 Sets
Complete
5 Reps @ 70%
3 Reps @ 75%
1 Rep @ 80-85%
Rest as needed between 5-3-1 to complete within the 4:00 time frame
This is to be done as 5 reps, then 3 reps, then 1 rep within every 4:00 minute segment just as we did 2 weeks ago. This will have athletes adjusting weight quickly and ending with 80-85% on the bar for the final rep of 9 within each set. This creates a good volume dose as well as allowing athletes to tackle heavier loads in a cluster set style lifting session.
