CrossFit Workout - Thursday 9/26/13

Pause Front Squats, find your 2 rep max - no racks

Start with a light bar and add weight each set to find your 2 rep max, with holding a full 2 second pause at the bottom of each rep.  Do not increase weight unless you are able to reach full depth and solid form (footwork and body position) for both reps.

Last week we did pause overhead squats.  Today it's pause front squats.  These pause squats are helpful in improving your heavy squat snatches and clean, getting you comfortable in the bottom position.

Warmup: 1000 meter row & 3 sets of 5 reps of front squats with an empty bar
Mobility: On whiteboard
Cool down:  Trainer's choice
