Start of a New Year, new way of working out

Here it is - the first 5x5

Deadlifts 5 x 5 === same weight for each set - rest 2-3 minutes / set - weight should be approx 80% of your max (dirty little secret - that's why we did the CFT last week).

Warm up with 10 reps light weight, concentrate on form, move weight up and do 5, more weight and 5 and then hit the WOD




You should be able to do all 5 sets - next week we add a little more weight

MetCon

Sunday's are usually a Rest Day - so watch the Vikings - though I'm sure your blood pressure will be pretty high by the end of the game.  Good -  you can work off your anger during your deadlifts tomorrow.

Happy New Year = CFT

CrossFit Total to start the New Year and to start off our new programming

Squat x 1
Dead x 1
Press x 1

Start with a light wt x 10, then increase wts for sets of 5 (50%), 5(70%), 3(80%), 1(95%), 1 till you hit your max

You should have a decent idea of your maxes on each of the lifts, so increase the weights accordingly.



OverLoed just before her PR Deadlift @ 215#  NICE JOB
