Overview of our programming this week
This week we start our third cycle of the 5-3-1 strength program. (For those desiring to know more about the why and how behind this strength program, a simple internet search will provide you with a wealth of material.) This week:
Monday = Bench / Tuesday = Deadlift / Wednesday = Core / Thursday = Shoulder Press / Friday = Back Squat
The Metcons this week are all, except for one, for time. This means the amount of work to be completed is fixed, and how long it takes is dependent on you. Other than that, you will see a variety of round and rep schemes. The exercises in the Metcons are quite varied this week. The only movement that is repeated are everyone’s favorite – burpees, but in various iterations.

FTX Classes – We continue with our full schedule of adult and kids’ classes. See our schedule here – https://ftxcrossfit.com/schedule/.
