STIMULUS and GOALS

How to Pace: SPRINT into STEADY!! These are hard effort sprints on the bike into smooth back squats

How it should Feel: PAIN and LACTIC ACID PARTY! Expect a serious leg burn!! Drive through the hole on the squats and stay tight!

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW

Bike: as it says in the workout description.. It’s time to go FAST!

Back squats: These should be unbroken each set! Make sure to take a second to transition from the bike to the squats if needed! Focus on maintaining a strong core and good leg drive each squat. Don’t use over 65% of 1RM back squat.
