This week we will be starting our final strength cycle of the year, a 5-3-1 strength cycle that will start and end with a test/retest of a 1RM Deadlift, Push Press and Back Squat. To kick off the cycle, we'll be testing out a 1-RM Deadlift, Push Press and Back Squat this week! The full cycle outline can be seen below.
This Saturday, October 12th, the Hero WOD “GOOD” will again be programmed for both Group Classes at Bell City CrossFit in memory of Lt. Dustin DeMonte and Sgt. Alex Hamzy on the two year anniversary of their tragic passing. This special Hero WOD was created for them by their close friend and fellow police officer Vinny Infante. We welcome all Bell City CrossFit Members & Non-Members to join us to participate in this Memorial Workout. Please have non-members register in advance HERE. Please also reserve a spot in advance for one of the class times using ZenPlanner or SugarWOD.
