This will be our testing week for the Cube.  We will re-test our 1RM on Bench on Monday, buy more about Deadlift on Wednesday and Squat on Friday. Take a smart warm up and go in with a plan.  Have an idea about the build you will take early, page and the jumps you take when the weight gets heavy.  If you feel good, go for a PR. On Tuesday we will start having Intro’s at 4:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The answer is fairly simple, yet complicated.  It’s my call.  Back in the early days of CrossFit, 135/85 were generally the RX for workouts like Elizabeth or Grace.  Or were they?  The website didn’t actually say – you had to look up videos to learn this.  There is an old video of Greg and Annie doing Elizabeth in which Greg uses 135 and Annie uses 85. I’ve attached the video to this post.  It takes a minute and a half to talk about the weight Annie is using.  They finish at almost the same time.
