Overhead Squat Ladder 1-15 for time

That is… 1 rep, rack the bar (on back or on rack)… 2 reps, rack the bar… 3 reps, rack the bar… etc. until 15 unbroken reps, rack the bar.

Elite/advanced = 95/65

Obviously you want to choose a weight that you can do 15 reps of unbroken!!!

I really like this blog post by Chris. What’s your list look like so far?
