With Christmas and New Years in the rear view, it’s time to get the ball rolling on our new training cycle, and it’s going to be a good one.  Starting Monday 1/15, we’re off and running, here is what to expect. Focus Elements Back Squat 10 Rep Max Pushing and Pulling Gymnastics Sprint Capacity – RPE 7-9 10 Rep Back Squat We chose the back squat 10 rep max as one element to shed the idea of strength training only for 1 rep maxes.  In CrossFit, and in life, it’s very rare that you must do something physically exerting only one time.  While training your 1 rep max is a great metric for overall strength, this variation will help us measure and improve, not only strength, but also muscular endurance, grit, and technique.  We also reduce injury risk this way, as well as dial back the anxiety of testing and...Read more
