Heavy Metal CrossFit Competitor’s Blog: Monday 4/20/15
| Wave 2a-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! |
