Fourth paragraph

In the fourth paragraph, the following WOD is interpreted incorrectly.

"Rest 1 minute between rounds, add 10# per round, continue until failure: 2x Back Squat(185# , 95#)"

Correctly interpreted, that is do the following:

Rest 1 minute between rounds, adding ten pounds per round until failure. Do 2 reps per round of back squat. Men, start your weight at 185. Women, start yours at 95.
