Our next 6 week cycle is going to focus on two major components of CrossFit: weightlifting and pulling your bodyweight. Today we are establishing a baseline of our weightlifting total (max snatch and max clean and jerk) and the max number of pull ups we can do. Snatch and CJ should be full squat, even...Read More

Take the front squats out of the rack and keep those elbows high to maintain a good rack position. For the metcon, cleans must be a full squat each time, HSPU’s may be kipping or strict, and box jump overs do NOT need full hip extension on top of the box. (jump on the box...Read More
