Then build to working load across 2-3 additional sets.
Strength: Front Squat
Every 1:30 x 10 Sets
3 Front Squats
Working at 100% of the Week 1 5x5 Front Squat test load. This is 30 total reps at that same challenging weight in the same 15:00 time domain as the original test, but with 3 reps per set rather than 5. The reduced rep count allows just enough recovery to maintain quality positions and speed out of the hole across all 10 sets. This is not a grinding day; every set should feel deliberate and fast.
Athletes who did not complete the Week 1 test should start around 75% of their estimated one-rep max and either build from there to around 80% or stay at 75% across, depending on how the body feels.
