10 Pass Throughs
*If this movement is a challenge for you, lets keep it light using a PVC/broomstick and perform all sets with a higher rep scheme (all sets 8-10 reps for 6 sets total).
"Back Off" sets.
-A Back Off set is your final set in which you will take off some of the weight to perform a higher volume set.
Ex.
300lbs x 5
315lbs x 4
335lbs x 3
365lbs x 3
375lbs x 3
- Then your back off set would be your final weight subtraction 20% for 6-8 reps. (20% of 375 = 75) so Back off set would be (375-75= 300lbs).
Focus Points:
-Constant tension pressing into the bar while overhead.
-Maintain bar positioning as you descend in the squat.
-Depth will be determined by your ability to keep the bar in the same position overhead.
