Robb Wolf's Facebook page featured an article yesterday called "Health Benefits of a Low-Carbohydrate, High-Saturated Fat Diet". Interesting stuff, give it a read.

SWOD:
Back Squat 5x3

Metcon:
5 rounds for time of:
- 5 Push Jerks (155/105)
- 10 Burpees (jump over the bar each rep)

WOD Tips:
For the SWOD, this will be the last heavy squat day before we total, so really work on first, mastery of the technique and proper depth, and second push your limits! Remember this is 5 sets of 3 reps.

For the metcon, set up your bar, and storm through the WOD for time. The push jerks should be challenging so choose a heavy weight you can do with good form, and that you can clean to the starting position each round. On each burpee, remember to squat not sprawl, and then jump laterally over the barbell on each rep.

Post weights and times to the comments section! bc
