Tonight is the first olympic weightlifting session of the June month-long series. Each Thursday at 5pm is a session dedicated to training heavy movements that will be of assistance in the snatch and clean and jerk. These include a variety of squats, presses, pull and other segmented lifts. You will not be working up to a heavy 3 or 1 rep… but rather developing strength in ways that will translate into increases in your oly lifts. Monday nights at 5pm is a complement to the Thursday night class- it is technique and speed work in the olympic lifts. A focus is on moving quickly, under lighter loads with attention on hitting the correct positions. Try and make it to BOTH of these classes. Attending a 4pm WOD and then a 5pm oly session is NOT recommended.
Below take a look at the personal bests set during the month of May. Many records set for CrossFit Baseline, a number of Girl WOD improvements, push pressing increases, and all of the Run Specialty Class athletes who ran the post-test PRd on their final 400m run (more on that topic in an upcoming post!).
