Hello,
I just purchased the master templates and was wondering which I should start with.
My story:
53 yo, 5’8", 224 lbs. I just had a DEXA scan a week ago and it showed that I have 25% body fat.
I’ve been doing Crossfit for about 3 years, including the usual power lifts and Oly.
My current PRs are:
Deadlift: 410 lbs
Squat: 315
Bench: 275
Shoulder press: 185
I’d like to lose body fat (perhaps get to below 20%) and gain strength (have you heard this before?).
Thank you in advance for your help!!
Happy New Year!
Best,
Jeff
Hi Jeff,
The “Intro” sheet has multiple suggested progressions you can consider. Despite your PRs, we don’t know your training history and have no way of knowing whether you’re actually a novice by our standard, so you could try a brief novice LP and see how far you can make it, then transition to the Strength Template. Alternatively, if these PRs are the result of regularly programmed strength work at your CrossFit gym (which is uncommon, but does happen at some of them), you’re more likely to benefit from jumping straight into the Strength Template.
