This workout is meant to have a strength bias, but no score is worth compromising form or safety.

Make sure to consult with your coach to pick the appropriate skill level.

Performance Tips:
This workout is a repeat of the “Holiday Blast” at CFM from 12/30/2016 but slightly modified (ie 1 minute longer, slightly lighter weight). For our athletes you can use this workout as an opportunity to see how much you have improved and should go to bet your previous score by 1 more full round. This workout has three levels for the weights so choose the skill level that will challenge you and that you can keep moving. If you need to break up the sets of front squats, you might consider dropping to a lower skill level.
