Workout One
“I haven’t put 280 [pounds] in an overhead squat over my head for quite a bit, so I’m going to try it,” said Adler before completing the rep comfortably. He added another 20 pounds onto the bar for the next set and performed a paused rep.
Adler revealed that this was his first time snatching heavy since his 2023 Rogue Invitational prep. “At this time of the year, it feels heavier than it’s supposed to, but it went relatively well,” said Adler.

- Round One — 1x Bar Muscle-Up
