This will be the last heavy week of the Wendler 5-3-1 program.  The loads are getting heavier.  Stay strong and get through the required reps today.  Next week we will go through the de-loading work and then get new maxes the following week.  Once we have new maxes we will be starting a new and different strength cycle.  Today’s metcon comes from the Battle to the Summit competition in Asheville this weekend.  We have a few athletes competing, so today will be a great testing ground for them.  Help them strategize by attacking this wod yourself.
