CrossFit:
Week 1 of a 6 week “5×5 Strength Program!”
– In this program, we will be constantly trying to increase our weight in the 5×5 lifts each and every week. On this first week, it’s normal to edge on the lighter side and then start to really settle in to weights that will challenge us each week from here. I recommend starting around 70% of your 1 rep for ALL SETS. Not just building up to it. So, yes, your warm up sets DO NOT COUNT today. Just working sets. So, after you log your weights today on the Front Squat, your goal will be to do MORE weight for ALL SETS next week. And every week after for the next 6 weeks. If the lift (Like today’s Power Clean) is not a “5×5” rep scheme, then read the comments or that lift.
Schedule will look like this:
Monday – Front Squat + Olympic Lifting
Tuesday – Press + Pull Movement
Wednesday – Cardio Specific
Thursday – Back Squat + Olympic Lifting
Friday – Bench Press + Deadlift
Saturday – Cardio Specific Team Workout
Sunday – OFF

Calves:
Last week you did 3 sets of 1 minute for max reps. However many you got TOTAL last week is how many I want you to try and do FOR TIME and QUALITY today. For example: If you did 15 per minute, then you owe me 45 reps with the same weight for time. NO bouncing shit reps. Good quality ones that burn from trying not to break. GET SOME!

Recommended Warm-Up Routine:
1.) Spend 5-10min. on any kind of low impact cardio
2.) Spend 5min. either foam rolling the primary muscle groups for the day or doing a few stretches that will benefit the primary lift for the day.
3.) Complete 1-3 sets of every movement above with lighter weights that your working sets. (For most of you, this all that’s needed)
