Program Description

Wendlers Beginner Prep School, as laid out in Forever 5/3/1. This is a two-week cycle, running ABA - BAB. Each workout, including warmup should take roughly 60-70 minutes. We're also alternating the assistance circuit. Weight for the assistance work does not matter and we're not logging. Time cap is important, this should take roughly 20 minutes. If you are well within this limit, add another round. However, don’t make this a Crossfit WOD. Controlled reps are key. Increase TM after this cycle and run it as long as you want.
