CrossFit Fixx – Barbell Club
Workout Notes
– Welcome to week 3 of this lifting cycle! We will continue to work towards establishing a 5-rep-max sumo deadlift, 3-rep-max hang power snatch, and 1-rep-max clean and jerk.
– Keep loads lighter this week and leave room to add 10-20 lbs to your heaviest set so that you can increase your load each week.
– For today’s Main Lift, use a light-to-moderate load that allows for an emphasis on SPEED and QUALITY of movement.
– In Accessory – I, alternate which leg you step with on each rep. Build to a tough 16 reps throughout the 3 sets. if this is your first time performing the movement, stay at a moderate weight for all 3 sets.
– For Accessory – II, Use a KB load that you can barely get for 10 and may require breaking up the final set. The bear hug should be unbroken.
