BRIEF
Moderate to Moderate-Heavy in the Front Squat, heavier than the previous week’s 3x6. In the workout, we are looking for unbroken reps on all movements. Athletes shouldn’t hit any roadblocks today...keep moving through all movement and no more than 1 “break” per movement.

*Movement Adjustments*
Front Squat -- High Bar Back Squat, Front Rack Lunge, or Back Rack Lunge are all good subs today. If the athlete can not squat or lunge, a moderate-heavy Deadlift could also fit nicely into this workout.
Single Leg DB Goblet Squat -- If the athlete is struggling with the balance, can perform without any loading or bring the feet together to a very narrow “post” squat.
Pre-Workout -- Any athletes with lower body injuries will need to adjust this workout significantly. Do not feel constrained to “match the stimulus”...sometimes it’s not possible in this type of workout. In subbing single movements, the goal today should be to find an adjustment that keeps the athlete moving in about the same time to complete the movement as written.
