Heavy Metal CrossFit Competitor’s Blog: Monday 3/30/15
Wave 1a-Week 1 of 3
Note:
May split day into 2 sessions if possible:
1) AM: Squats, Skill &/or Core Quota.  Optional gymnastics skill work.  Daily stretch/mobility.
2) PM: Oly lifts & Auxiliary  (pulls) and optional WODs (heavy leg/back taxing fits best here). Can also place quota work here.
*Note: Lift % based on top classical lifts.  In some cases Work sets listed only.  In general the % are only a guideline (and usually a ‘conservative ‘one) and will vary from person to person.  Try to match the ‘conservative %’ and in weeks 2 and 3, try to match or beat week 1 w/reps or weight).
*Individual edits and adjustments can be made for your needs (to program and %).  Communicate with your coaches and never assume!
