BLK LBL Fitness Club – CrossFit® Weightlifting This is a new piece I created to help everyone build some serious overhead strength and skill.

Everyone must hit a 2-3 rep max back squat FIRST. This will help the weight feel lighter and give you the best chances of hitting your numbers for the day. It doesn’t matter if you hit an all time personal best here. Its main purpose is just to help you lift more for the 20 rep. 2.) As soon as you finish #1, you will rest a few minutes and get ready to hit your 20 rep max. YOU ONLY GET 1 SHOT AT IT and it’s only 1 set for the day.
