Day 1, 6 Week Catalyst Back Squat Cycle

We're starting a competitor's emphasis set of programming for those of us wanting to compete. I'll be posting the WODs daily on my blog so everyone can plan. As always, adding this programming to your normal WODing, I strongly recommend listening to your body and scaling the normal WODs as necessary, subbing a good 30 minutes of mobility work in on days you need a break etc. Be smart!

Here is day one of the 6 Week Catalyst Strength Cycle - Back Squat Emphasis courtesy of Catalyst Athletics. Recommended to me by a friend and coach at CrossFit Memorial Houston. Looks like a great system shock. Form first, and have fun!
  • Back Squat - 70% x 3 x 5
  • Snatch Pull - 85% (of snatch) x 3 x 2, 90% x 3 x 2
  • Halting Snatch Deadlift (upper thigh) - 75% (of snatch) x 3 x 3
  • SLDL - 3x5
