HATCH IS BACK!

Strength

On a 25min clock:

Hatch Week 1 Day 1

Back Squat
1*10 @ 60%
1*8 @ 70%
1*6 @ 75%
1*4 @ 80%

Front Squat
4*5 @ 60%/70/70/70

- Percentages are based off of your 1RM Back Squat and your 1RM Front Squat

For Example if you have a 1RM back squat of 200# & a 1RM front squat of 150#, today would look like the following:
Back Squat
1 set of 10 reps @ 120#
1 set of 8 reps @ 140#
1 set of 6 reps @ 150#
1 set of 4 reps @ 160#

then . . .

Front Squat
1 sets of 5 reps @ 90#
3 sets of 5 reps @ 105#

MetCon

For time:

30 Burpees to a 6" target
25 KBS 53/35

Coaches Notes

Hey Team,

Over the years we have done a lot of squat programs (Smolov, Widowmaker, Linear Progression, Limited Conjugate, etc) but Hatch is the one I keep coming back to. Mostly because of the gains. Oh, and the kickbacks from all the jeans retailers (btw you guys are going to have to go shopping in 13 weeks).

This 12 week program runs 2X per week and we do both back squats and front squats in each session.

Not only will you get incredibly strong (full body, superhero strong) but your mobility will improve along with a multitude of other elements of fitness.

If you are unsure of your 1RM in either of the lifts please work to a 1RM this week and jump into the percentages next week.

Schedule
2X / wk for 12 weeks
Weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 we will squat on Monday & Thursday
Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 we will squat Tuesday & Friday

Expectation
Your squat numbers will go up
Your squat mobility and motor control will improve
Wall Balls will soon feel like a walk in the park
People will applaud you in the street for literally never skipping leg day (probably)

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Squat on, and as always, yay for fitness.
