Current Programming Block: 8 Week General Barbell Strength

On Monday, March 16 we will begin an 8 week block of programming focused on general barbell strength. Our main benchmark for this programming will be the “CrossFit Total” which is a 1RM Strict Press, Back Squat, and Deadlift all performed in the same session.

What to Expect:

  • More volume of strength training
  • Lifting mostly in the 1 – 5 rep range
  • Focus on barbell lifts, specifically back squats, deadlifts, strict press and bench press (other lifts will still be included)
  • About 1/week “double strength” day with no dedicated conditioning workout
