Summary
Today's focus is on building lower body strength with the back squat in the strength component, followed by a high-intensity metcon that complements this with front squats and wall balls to reinforce the squat pattern. The metcon targets endurance and explosive power. Maintain good form throughout, especially in the strength session, and push the pace safely during the metcon.
