35 reps of backsquats in 7 minutes is a lot. See how you feel at 60 percent of your 1rm and go from there 70 to 80 percent would be a good range for this.

… Continuing this for as long as you are able.
–Coaches Notes–
Remember the way a “Death By..” set up works is almost like an EMOM. You will do 1 Thruster in the first minute and then rest the remainder of the minute. When the next minute comes you will do 2 reps and then rest, this goes on until you can’t hit that specific number of reps within the minute. The first couple rounds will seem “slow” but just wait till around round 8-10, things will pick up. Score wise you should be aiming for 10-12 rounds so this means you should pick a weight that you are comfortable with on those DBs.
