Monday 25 November

as you start your break for Thanksgiving, time to remember we are now in our offseason program. I have spoken with many folks so far about the strength conditioning, and a good place to start is with your Crossfit total. It gives you a baseline for basic lifts, and you having this baseline helps with future workouts.
Warmup as needed. Do not just try to break your previous record. think about possibly having 3 or 4 weight increments until you start to hit that one round max.
Be sure to rest 90 secs in between your warmups, weight movement. Get your brain into it. Visualize that goal of beating your previous rep, and if you do not have a rep, get the max out of the lift.

1) “CrossFit Total”
Establish a 1RM Back Squat
Establish a 1 RM Strict Press
Establish a 1RM Deadlift
