The Foundry Union Station – CrossFit
Context
Competition
Metcon
A: The CrossFit Total (Total Weight)
Back Squat (1 Rep Max)
Shoulder Press (1 Rep Max)
Deadlift (1 Rep Max)
Athlete gets 3 attempts at each lift. Weight must increase after each successful attempt at each movement. Weight may not be decreased after first attempt. A failed rep counts as an attempt.
There is no time limit for each lift or for the length of the session in which they are all performed, but they must all be performed during one session (i.e., athlete cannot leave the area to rest or perform other activities between the three lifts).
Scaling
Beginning athletes should treat today as an opportunity to practice and get comfortable with heavy lifts. Consider the effects of yesterday’s long row and adjust loading accordingly.
Beginner Option
Back squat 3-3-1-1 reps
Shoulder press 3-3-1-1 reps
Deadlift 3-3-1-1 reps
