FAQs
Can I do this program alongside my regular CrossFit classes?
Yes. This program is designed to complement CrossFit training. Most athletes can follow this program while doing CrossFit 3–4 days per week without negatively impacting recovery, providing sleep and good nutrition are being met.
How long does each session take?
Each training session is designed to take 45–60 minutes, making it easy to complete before or after a CrossFit class.
What if I don’t know my 1RM for the main lifts?
You don’t need a tested max to start. The program includes guidelines for estimating a training max using recent lifting numbers so you can safely follow the percentage-based programming.
Is this program suitable for beginners?
This program is best suited for intermediate CrossFit athletes who already have basic experience with the barbell lifts such as squats, presses, and deadlifts.
What happens after the program finishes?
The final week includes a testing phase where you can establish new strength numbers and update your training max for your next training cycle.
