Today we're going heavy on Front Squat as well as performing wall balls during the workout. These two movements do a great job of building strength and reinforcing ideal motor patterns in the Air Squat. Aligning an external object (barbell/medicine ball) directly over our base of support (feet) encourages an upright torso which is key to targeting the musculature of the hips and thighs versus excessively loading the low back. The ability to raise and lower your center of gravity over you base of support is paramount to athletic success and self reliance in advancing years. So we're gonna get real good at it.

P.S. I may have been somewhat deceitful in posting the WOD last night.

Im sorry. I just wanted you guys to hang out a little longer than RX.
