Squats and Hill Sprints

As I wrote in the previous post, the party is over and it is time to get back to work again.

To start the new year off with a bang I decided to do squats, good mornings, yoke walks, and the hill sprints for dessert.

Let's just say I will sleep well tonight.

Following Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 method I did squats for reps of five, followed by some assistance work. Good mornings are a drill I have neglected for too long as they will bring your squat up. Especially if you are a Lonny Leanover when the weight gets heavy. Yoke Walk just plain old suck, but they are a man maker and if you have access to a yoke, do them.

As for the hill sprints, usually I schedule them for their own day but I am off work and felt fat, so what the hell right?

Anyways, here is the workout, give it a try if you dare!
