WOD A
FRONT SQUAT

25 mins to establish a 1RM front squat

Start light and build by feel or follow this rep scheme.
8-10 reps @ 40-50%
6-8 reps @ 50-60
4-5 reps @ 65-70
2 x 2-3 reps @ 70-80

4-5 x 1 rep (85, 90, 95, 100, 100+)

Rest as needed between sets, but start with a bit less rest and increase as the weight gets heavy.
Aim to rest 2-3 mins between heavy singles so you want at least 12 mins for singles.
