7, 5, 3
Weight increases each set (denoted by commas)– begin at moderate weight and end as heavy as possible.
Squat complex: Position and range of motion dictate weight- If chosen weight breaks either, adjust immediately and continue safely.
1 rep = 1 regular squat + 1 jump squat + 1 left lunge + 1 right lunge.
Today, kettlebell is held aggressively in the Goblet position.

100 Abmat sit-up @ 15lb. W, 25lb. M + 30 calorie minimum Airdyne cool-down
