A classic CrossFit benchmark involving a medium-weight barbell pull paired with a high-stability bodyweight pushing movement. Each round can be broken up into three sets, but should you break them up that way? These are meant to be done in fast, pushing the intensity as far as you can, as quickly as you can.

Post times to whiteboard!

BARBELL CLUB

It’s TEST WEEK so get your mind right: In the Olympic Weightlifting track you will max out a simple power + full sequence for the contested lifts, and a chance at overhead squat and front squat maxes. In Powerlifting you’ll have some opportunities to hit 1RM in any of the following: back squat, box squat, front squat, strict press, seated press, push press, bench press, sumo deadlift, and the conventional deadlift.
