Intent

(0-5)

Let’s finish the year with some old school CrossFit strength training. The goal today is to put the holiday calories to use and see how much weight we can move between the 3 lifts, see if we have any personal bests in the tank and also establish a fun baseline going into 2026. This is a traditional benchmark means of testing some popular “slow strength” and fundamental movements as the back squat, strict press and deadlift. This was used in the very first CrossFit Games as a means to measure how well athletes could move external loads in different planes and joint function, and today we use it as a tester and a great workout. Be sure to use the 10:00 at each station in a wise way. Build too fast and you don’t give yourself a chance to be “primed”. On the other hand, if you build too slow, or take too many warm up reps, you’ll build fatigue and miss your top lifts or run out of time!
