Awesome video from Alpha Helix Media (Chris Slaughter)… he captured everyone – which is no easy task.
Completing the CrossFit Total today is hugely important, as your numbers will be plugged into the strength programming that will be starting during the first week of June (more on that in a later post). Give it your all so that your percentages are as precise as possible. Go forth and lift heavy!
Here’s a little info about the 5/3/1 Method, as written by Jim Wendler, author of 5/3/1: The Simplest and Most Effective Training System for Raw Strength
The success of the 5/3/1 Method has been nothing short of extraordinary. For the past year, the response towards this simple but brutally effective training system has been overwhelming. This is because it works. And works for just about anyone willing to put in the discipline and work that getting stronger requires.
Elite level lifters to absolute beginners have all used the 5/3/1 Method; the basic tenets of strength training have and will never change. Big exercises, constant progress, and personal records will never go out of style. High school and college coaches are now using the 5/3/1 with their athletes with amazing success; it is easy to track, implement and will inspire any team to push for themselves to the limit. Powerlifters use this program, for both raw meets and geared meets.
The 5/3/1 Method is truly for anyone that is looking to get stronger. This is not a fancy training program that requires special equipment or Master’s degree – all is required is your dedication to moving more weight than you had ever dreamed.
