This week has been an off week from our regular strength program. We maxed our push press and front squats last week. We will start overhead squats and deadlifts next week. For today, our Olympic Lifting accessory work is finding our max effort squat clean. This is the most weight we can squat clean 1 time. If you are a numbers person, if done properly, your max effort squat cleans should be roughly 90% of the 1 rep front squat. Therefore, since we all established our max effort front squat last week, you have a number to shoot for today.
For the MetCon today, we return to a CrossFit Open wod from seasons past. When first announced, this WOD was described as one that will be painful and hurt the more elite among us. You don’t want to tap out after 3 or 6 minutes, so make sure you scale accordingly.
