Heavy Metal CrossFit Competitor’s Blog: Saturday 11/12/16

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.
Wave 1 of 4 (Level 3, Week 1 of 3): Base Volume/Prep & Accum 1: ‘Volume & Variety’
*May squat first (or in AM), then lifts, then pulls/other auxiliary lifts last (unless in meet prep phase-lifts first) (if squat first-doing cleans before snatches can help)
*Goal each week/wave: match or beat last week/past numbers
*Note: Lift % based on top classical lifts. In some cases Work sets listed only)
*Individual edits and adjustments can be made for your needs (to program and %). Communicate with your coaches and never assume!
