CrossFit Mettle and Honor – NC FLEX

Functional Strength

4 SETS (Weight)

8-10 Incline Barbell Tempo Bench (30X0)

-Rest 1:30-

8-10/8-10 Single Arm Supported DB Tempo Row (30X0)

-Rest 1:30 b/t Sets-

(Score is Weight of Bench)

GOAL: RPE 8 | This should be a TOUGH upper body push/pull combo, but leave some room to get heavier in weeks to come. If you don’t have access to an adjustable bench, stack a few plates under a flat bench for a slight incline. We are looking for a 15-30 degree incline tops. The rest intervals and 3-second tempo are non-negotiables. We want quality time under tension for maximum gains.
