Performed at: CrossFit Diem
Workout Name: 130514
Description: Front Squat 5-5-5

Use 5-10 pounds heavier than last time which was 130305. After a warm-up of x5 with an empty bar, x5 with added weight, x3 with more weight, and finally x2 with even more weight, you will then go up one more time and hold that weight for all three sets of 5 reps. As an example, if the last time you successfully lifted 200#, this time, you will use 205#. Now you can work your way backwards to find what weights you will use for your warm-up sets. In this case it will be 205x5x3, 185x2, 155x3, 135x5, and x5 empty bar. Notice that the weight used for the last warm up set is a bit lower than the weight used for working sets. This is intentional. Be smart with your warm-up weights. Complete on a three minute clock.
