Back Squat 5-5-5-5-5 reps

Post loads to comments.

Compare to 080930.

Please be patient and hold any questions or comments until the scaling is posted by GD or BBoJ. The scaling usually contains helpful links to videos as well as common substitution advice.  It should be up soon.

Today, everyone is a Big Dawg. Everyone can do this workout as Rx’d. If you are unfamiliar with the lift or have an absolutely horrible air squat, go light and work on form.

Rest for as long as needed between sets, you should be lifting heavy here, youll need that rest in between.

Is there a video explaining how to bail if I get too heavy and stuck?  I’m concerned about hurting myself, but don’t want to go too light either.

Thanks…
