Review & warm-up back squats/tempo for WOD A

WOD A
PAUSE BACK SQUAT X 5
Every 2:30 x 5 sets:
5 Back squats @3,3,X,2

If you have been squatting each week recently, treat this week as a de-load and keep the weights in the 55-65% range, focusing on perfect form and mechanics. If are just getting back to the gym after a few weeks off, then start light to moderate and build by feel, the goal is just to get the body used to some heavy loads again without maxing out or losing ideal form or positioning.
