Back Squats & Why I CrossFit
At the CrossFit Games this past weekend Again Faster, an equipment company, launched a campaign asking people why they CrossFit. While you look at the familiar faces below, and their responses, please ask yourself “why do you CrossFit?” Post your answers to comments!
Below are Mayra Perez, Jason Moore, and Carlos Avina

Wednesday’s WOD:
Back Squat – Find New 1RM
After 1rm, reduce weight to 75% and complete a set of 20. NO RE-RACKING THE WEIGHT. If you need to rack the weight in the middle, you are finished.
If you have completed the set of 20 on 6/29/12, 5/16/12, or 7/10/12 add 5lbs to the weight you have completed the set at.
As time allows: 3 alternating sets:
Ab Work of athlete’s choice
GHRs (sub hip extensions or supermans as needed)

Yup, and we will do it for another 6 weeks. Plan to watch your back squat numbers go up! This is a big plateau breaker!
