WOD

Wed, Apr 8

Coach J

Our monthly focus for April is endurance and stamina. Despite that, we'll continue to mix in other workouts along the way and today is one of them.

Today, you get to lift heavy relative to your capacity, a 3-rep max front squat. This effort should require all of your focus and attention to execute each set.

You can Look back to Jan. 20, 2026, to see your most recent 3-rep front squat lift; Or, if you are familiar with a recent 1-rep-max front squat, lift around 70% or more of that number in each set of three.

At the end we'll close with a short 1 minute finisher.
