Today starts the next cycle of Strength Focus in our S/S/S (Strength/Skill/Sport) piece. The next couple of months we will take you through a progression dedicated in improving raw, basic strength. A lot of the S-work over these next couple of months will center around three basic lifts. The Squat, the Dead Lift, and The Press. So, to get a good baseline, today our WOD will be a CrossFit staple…

Spend 10 minutes mashing (use rollers, lacrosse balls, bars, etc…) whatever is tight
