Why We Do Weightlifting In CrossFit.
Weightlifting refers to the Olympic sport of the Snatch and Clean & Jerk. These are full body movements that are:
Explosive.
Compound (they use a ton of muscles).
Universal (we are designed to be good at jumping and catching things).
Fun!
Weightlifting is a staple part of CrossFit training because it works all of the major muscles of the body in one to two explosive movements. It helps make you faster, stronger, and burns a ton of calories (if you’ve ever done a complex you know what we mean!). It also is proven to increase your coordination, balance, and flexibility over time.
In a workout designed to give you the most out of your 60 minutes, Weightlifting is a highly effective tool to use.

#FEARLESSFRIDAY; CFML’S CALORIE TORCHING, MUSCLE BUILDING WORKOUT OF THE WEEK:
EMOM x 12 MINUTE
MIN 1 – 20/15 Cal Bike
MIN 2 – 1 Power Snatch*
*Athlete chooses Moderate-Heavy loading to start. Athlete can increase loading each round or stay at the same weight. Athlete has the entire minute to make their lift. Max 3 attempts per minute. Score is the combined total weight of all successful lifts.
Advice from our coaches:
1. This is a unique workout in the way that it’s scored: for total weight lifted over the 6 rounds of snatches. You can move up in weight as the workout progresses. Choose a weight initially that is heavy, but you know you won’t fail a lift. Take small jumps from there!
2. For the bike: fill the entire minute rather than doing a max effort sprint and finishing the Cals in 35-40 seconds. Yes, you’ll gain time. But that will spike your heart rate out of control. Aim for a good 55 second bike.
