Having trouble with the SWODs?

I made this quick video on how to effectively do our Strength WODs.  Strength is a huge component of CrossFit  so it behooves you to take the SWODs just as serious as the rest of the WODs.  If you can Overhead Press 200 pounds, think about how that strength will transfer to doing a WOD such as "Fran"?  Not only will WODs become easier, but your increased strength will result in increased muscle mass, aesthetic goals, and a higher metabolism.

Remember!  Write down your numbers!  After the first cycle (3 weeks)  Remember to go get a new set of numbers by adding 5 pounds to your Bench Press and Overhead Press, and 10 pounds to your Squat and Deadlift.

The 5/3/1 Strength system was invented by successful power-lifter Jim Wendler who has squatted 1,000 pounds and has countless titles.  I've been using this system for over a year and have great success.  Bench Press went from 235 to 280, Squat 205 to 352, and Deadlift 335 to 455.  I still have my numbers and logs from a year back.  Track your progress and the results will come.
