Wall Facing Squats! Kissing the wall is not required.

SWOD:
Deadlift 3x5 (add 5-10 lbs from last week)

Metcon:
Tabata Mash Up of:
-Push Press 115 lbs
-Wall Facing Squats

WOD Tips:
For the SWOD, after a good warm up perform 3 sets of 5 reps at the same weight. Try to add at least 5 lbs from what you did last week.

For the metcon, perform :20 of all out effort on the push press, :10 rest, :20 all out effort on the wall facing squats, and :10 rest. That is one round. Perform 8 rounds. Your score is the fewest reps completed on any given set per movement.

For the wall facing squats, you should start out with your toes no further than a few inches from the wall. This will let you know if you lean forward or let your knees travel too far in front of your toes. Focus on technique and intensity without a breakdown in mechanics. Most of us will have a significantly lower number of tabata wall-facing squats compared to regular tabata air squats because facing the wall will force better technique throughout the WOD.
