Build to Heavy 5

STIMULUS
-We'll choose our barbell weight in this triplet workout based on the limiting factor, which will be the overhead squat
-This should be a lighter load that allows us to complete the 10 reps ideally unbroken throughout
-While the overhead squat are on the lighter side, the deadlift is intended to be incredibly light
-Choose a strict pull-up rep number or variation that allows you to complete the 5 reps in no more than 3 sets during the workout

STRATEGY
-The surprising pacer of this workout is the easiest of all the movements, the deadlift
-It is not only the easiest station, but also the easiest to break, as picking the bar back up off the ground in this movement is quick
-Breaking a few times over the 15 reps can help you thrive on the more challenging movements - the strict pull-ups and the overhead squats
-Think about approaching the 15 reps as 8-7 or 6-5-4
-This approach can help you reload for strong sets of strict pull-ups and overhead squats
-On the strict pull-ups, think about a break or two in the early rounds of the workout (3-2 or 2-2-1), as muscular fatigue can set in and slow these down later
-Once the bar is overhead, try to hold on for the 10 squats unbroken, as this station would likely cause us to rest the most between sets
