Hey Friends!

We’ve got a couple of squats on the docket for the day 😉  A beauty combination we’ve definitely done before for the WOD, though always challenging.  Stay tight on those squats and control the descent a bit so you can drive your hips through to stand it up (versus through your toes from tipping forward, if you’re out of position).

Try to be really explosive on the lateral box jumps.  There’s nothing wrong with using a lower than usual box and jumping extra high (either clean over the box, or landing on top of it), so as not to clip your leg and have an awesome spill off the box.
