Front-Racked Barbell Split Squats x 4-5 reps each @ 4211
Rest 60 seconds
Rear-Foot Elevated Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift x 4-5 reps each @ 6011

For the split squats, allow the knee to drive forward of the toes, such that your hamstring is resting atop your calf...but keep your full foot on the ground. We're working on mobility as well as quad strength. For the romanian deadlifts, you'll set-up just like a Bulgarian Split Squat, but keep only a slight bend in the knee and reach down to perform a romanian deadlift.

For time:
1000/800 Meter Row
50 Thrusters (95/65 lbs)
