“The 1¼ squat is used to strengthen the bottommost part of the squat to aid in proper recovery position in the squat, clean or snatch. It can also be used specifically to train VMO and glute activation and strength.” – Greg Everett

THE OKAYBRO, Dave T
Today’s complex begins with the full squat- do you get extension? Is your timing right with your change of direction? Are you stable enough to handle the movement? Then you’ll do a triple jerk dip squat, or the isolated dip portion of movements like the push press. Are you upright? Do you do better with a shallow or deeper dip? Then we’ll immediately test the dip again with an actual jerk. Just to tire your legs out again we’ll back squat. Finally you’ll do another jerk from behind the neck.
