From the Strength Crew...

I just wanted to take a minute and let everyone know about the current evolution of our strength class. We have put our brains together and have changed the programming around a little bit. We are going to be/have been using Jim Wendler’s 5/3/1 program. This is a very simple program that follows a logical percentage based progression that allows for constant PR’s for different rep counts. You will be seeing Squat,Press,Deadlift every week with 1 or 2 accessory exercises a day designed to compliment the major lift. Along with that you will see the WOD’s changing as well. You will still see some Classic Crossfit and Crossfit football workouts but along with this you will also see workouts that are designed to work specific energy systems, this means Intervals, Sprints, Hills, Car Pushing, and some other fun stuff we have in mind.

The reason for the change is to simplify the class and make it less intimidating for people who just want a taste of the class or have been thinking they need some help with the core lifts. This class will make us Bigger, Stronger, Faster athletes and overall better Crossfitters.

Thanks,
Strength Team
