Announcements:  Today we will meet in the 3rd floor weight room.  Try to get there as early as possible so we can secure some space.  It is a partner WOD, so pair up with someone of near equal ability.

Equipment needed:  Barbell w/ appropriate weights standing by.

Warm-up and instruction:  Matt will demo the overhead squat and Adam will discuss points of performance.

WOD:

Today's WOD will start off 'easy' and get progressively harder!

AMRAP 20
Person A - max reps of overhead squat (start at 45 lbs.) while partner is gone
Person B - run down to 62 room and knock out 10 x chest to bar pull-ups!
Once Person B returns, switch roles and when both are complete that is one round.
Rest 1 minute while you change weight and record the number of reps for each round.

NOTE:  Start with the barbell (45 lbs.) for the overhead squats and increase the load by 20 lbs. at the end of each round. 
NOTE2:  Scale as needed!  If you can't OHS the same amount as your partner, scale as needed to maintain intensity.
NOTE3:  Use the stairwell closest to the 3rd floor weight room to go to and from the weight room.
NOTE4:  If doing solo, do the run and pull-ups to start each round and then do OHS for equal amount of time each round.

Today's WOD can be done anywhere...so be sure to knock it out!
