Coaches Notes:

Todays squats are “de-load” squats – so take them easy, and keep your focus on SPEED coming up out of the hole.  Deadlifts are HEAVY.  We’ll be maxing the deads out next week, so let’s stay on the gain train there.  SPEED through the rounds and work on slowing your breath during your rest periods.  30 seconds isn’t really enough time to catch your breath, but using the time to re-focus, get calm, and slow your breath will help with maintaining speed much longer.

Strength:

**These are de-load squats**
