It's graduation season and of course it's time to look at celebrity commencement speeches. Let's listen to a sampling of them. What would you say to the Class of 2012?
For our seasoned Warriors, start with a medium-heavy weight for the first attempt at the lift, then for the second attempt a weight close to (but not over) your last 1 RM for that lift. Finally, put at least 5 pounds over your last 1 RM on the bar for your 3rd attempt.
For Warriors that have not logged a lot of lift time with us (yet), this is a great time to practice these lifts and establish a baseline 1 RM for each of them. Knowing what weights you can lift is invaluable for future WODs as it gets you more comfortable knowing how to load your workouts each week.

Today is a strength day. We're attacking The CrossFit Total once more, which is a great opportunity for assessing progress or establishing a baseline for future assessment. It is not timed, therefore it is an even greater opportunity for focusing on form and technique. Ultimately, the intent is to hit a 1 RM (one rep max) for each lift with only THREE (3) attempts at each lift.For our seasoned Warriors, start with a medium-heavy weight for the first attempt at the lift, then for the second attempt a weight close to (but not over) your last 1 RM for that lift.
