Strength Development

Back Squats

December’s strength focus is the Back squat as part of our Wendler 5/3/1 program.

On your last set, aim for an AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible) but stay “heavy” — the goal is to push yourself without compromising form. The sumo deadlift is excellent for maximizing strength and will prepare you for even heavier lifts as we head into the new year.

Whether you’re here for the camaraderie, the challenge, or the celebration, we can’t wait to share this holiday season with you. Let’s make December a month to remember!
