OR BACK SQUAT

- Building to a heavy single for the day. This may mean you might not PR and that's totally okay. If you begin losing form (especially in the midline), stop there.

- All reps should come from a rack.

- Rest as needed between lifts.

- If you PR, be sure to update your PR's.

- Score: Heaviest successful load

⁃ Conditioning Category: Grind.

⁃ Alternate legs every rep for a total of 1,000 reps or 500 each side.

⁃ If you don’t have a ruck sack, load a backpack with anything available to get to workout weight.

⁃ Choose a loading that allows you to complete at least 15 reps on the minute.

⁃ We’ll have a chance to practice 1 minute of step-ups in the practice round. 15 reps should be very comfortable in this time frame to go as prescribed.

⁃ Adjust height, weight, and reps as needed.

⁃ Times will likely range between 45-70 minutes. We’ll time cap this workout at 70 minutes.
⁃ The approach here is simple: find a rhythm that you see yourself holding for 45+ minutes of work. It can be helpful to have a target number of step-ups to complete every minute.

⁃ For efficiency in this high rep workout, the foot you step up to the box with should be the first foot off the box. This helps you quickly tap the opposite foot on the ground as you alternate legs.

⁃ To break up the monotony and keep working through smaller checkpoints, consider switching what side of the box you step up to every 25-50 reps. You can utilize all 4 sides of the box. This essentially makes it 5-10 rotations around the box for 1,000 reps.
