20 rep max.
And now for something a completely different… Today, we’ll be finding a 20 rep max high bar back squat. Â While this will certainly test our strength and endurance, the true test here is between the ears. Â If the weight is right, you legs will be screaming, your heart will be racing and the only thing keeping you going will be the voice in your head. Â It’s up to you to choose to keep going. Â Let’s see what you’re capable of.
