Overhead Squat 5-5-5-5-5
Work your way up to a “work weight” and attempt to use that load for all five reps of all five sets. This method is known as “sets across” as opposed to the “ascending sets” that you may be used to. If it has been a while since your last heavy overhead squat (090603?) but you have been hitting 3 or more classes a week you may be able to attempt your previous 5 RM as your work weight.
Otherwise, you may need to use a load that is lighter than your 5 RM but still challenging. If you make a mistake and choose too heavy of a weight then lower the weight on the next set.
