To build up cardiovascular and endurance bro, I don't think at my level resting longer is going to equal more AMRAP. I listen to body then when ready I carry on. But don't rest longer than 6 mins otherwise might as well go home and Fap!!  :yes:

Haven`t Kick off week 5 of programme yet but did some Back Squats

 

Body weight Squats x lots

 

60-8

120-2

 

140-1

 

140-2

 

140-2

 

140-2

 

140-4 PB

 

5minute rest between sets@ 140

 

I really tried to focus on the stretch reflex at the bottom and push back up evenly.

 

I have to stop being a faggot, and just start getting used to dropping right in the hole.

 

Going to start learning how to fail, and learn how to bail out of squat if it means getting my form and depth right.....does this make sense? to me it does.

 

Peace
