CrossFit FC East – Burgener Strength (Oly)
Note about Percentage and RPE (No Measure)
We have given RPE on most of the Power Lifts and some of the Oly lifts because we want you to learn to be more in tuned with yourself and what you can do each day versus abandon all self awareness for the sake of hitting percentage. It allows you to do more if you feel good, and do less if it’s not a great day.
We have percentages for some of the oly lifts where we are confident the percentages are achievable that day (even if you don’t feel great) and we want to fine tune your positions at those percentages.
We plan to continue to use a mix of both to help you learn to lift, and get stronger by feel, while also giving some grace for bad days. And then some days you just get the work done even if the percentage feels heavier.
