This is a nasty, nasty thing we’ve done, look at all those reps, look at them increase every round, oh someone should definitely do something about this, won’t anyone think of the children?
Increasing reps each round, every time you finish that OHS you’re into 7 lateral burpees over your overhead object. This is going to be a stinker, if you’re doing the RX+ version and keeping the burpees and OHS the same this is obviously going to be worse, but until you hit the 15s you’re not going to realise how much worse. Don’t cheat those OHS, full depth and full lockout everytime, if you’re struggling overhead there’s stretching classes running 3 times a week and there’s a back log of classes up on the Member’s Hub, use them that’s what they’re there for.
The finisher is literally the worst thing in the world, the Sissy squat will be wonderfully demoed in the YouTube brief, however what I want from you is that your knees do not touch the ground and you do not fully lockout at the top. Quad pump much? If you feel any knee pain stop with the Sissy squats and go to narrow stance squats. If you’re can’t do the Sissy squat then never fear, you will be doing narrow stance squats instead, same rule about lockout, your don’t lockout at the top and try to go as close to unbroken as you can. Other options will include 50 of both movements or doing Sissy squats until you can’t and then going on to the squats. This should be quick, under 3 minutes, so if you’re down to small sets on the Sissy squats move straight to the narrow squats.
