Workout lasted about 45 minutes which was perfect for what I was trying to do. Wanted to share a link to a Crossfit Journal article about the importance of squatting. It’s a great read and really goes in to depth about why everyone needs to squat! Also has some great instruction and cues to help you out with your technique, some picture examples of good and bad technique, and some nice progressions to get you squatting properly in no time. Be sure to check it out.
