Effective immediately! Strict form standards will be required on ME (max effort) workouts. Heavy lifts at the expense of bad form will no longer be tolerated. We will use weights that allow at least “fair” form. For those who cannot do the required form, a modification will be given. The arbitrator of fair form will be the CrossFit Coaches. The only exception will be true 1RM PR attempts by experienced (2+years) CrossFit athletes.
“Mother Load”
Complete the following lifting complex. Build up to the highest load you can complete within 5-6 sets.
1 Power Clean+3 Front Squats+1 Shoulder to Overhead+3 Back Squats+1 BTN to Overhead
You may Squat Clean into the first Front Squat. You may Thrust the last back squat from BTN. You must lock out each overhead position for the rep to count.
