Strength
Back Rack Reverse Lunges
Every 2:30 x 4 Sets

All 4 Sets: 10 Alternating Back Rack Reverse Lunges (5/side)

Start around 40% of 1RM Back Squat and build gradually across all four sets, finishing at an 8/10 RPE. The loading should feel challenging and controlled throughout, never a grind. This block is part of our leg strength progression, giving athletes a variation week away from traditional squatting before circling back to a back squat test next Monday. Each rep demands a tall torso, a controlled step back, and a confident drive through the front heel to stand, and those standards should not erode as the load climbs. Keep the tempo deliberate and the midline locked from the first set to the last.

GOALS
4+ Rounds
STIMULUS

RPE
8.5/10
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
Maintain consistent, unbroken sets on the double unders and wall balls across every round.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE
Complete each full round in under 2:30, keeping transitions tight and the farmers carry unbroken for the full 100ft (30m).
Workout Strategy
"Rolling Thunder" is a consistency workout, and the athlete who paces the first two rounds deliberately will outlast the one who sprints out and starts breaking movements by round three. Attack the double unders with a relaxed, confident rhythm from rep one and plan to go unbroken every round; any trip-up should be treated as a quick reset, not a signal to slow down. Approach the wall balls in two sets, 13-12 or 15-10, with a focused breath at the transition and no standing around at the target. The farmers carry is where rounds are won or lost: pick up the kettlebells, brace the core, and walk with intent for the full 100ft (30m) without setting them down, because every time the bells hit the floor, you are giving away seconds and breaking momentum. Lock in a repeatable pace by round two and push the final two minutes with everything left.
