Next week will be the first class of the second session of our new PortFit specialty courses. Each 6 week session has a different theme and this one is based around powerlifting. PortPower is a CrossFit Portsmouth spin on meathead city, these 6 weeks will be devoted to increasing your CrossFit tank top total. We will not only back squat, deadlift and bench press, but we will add in all necessary accessory exercises to increase your maxes safely. I mean who doesn’t love a good chest session with some reverse flys? This session will follow a well-proven strength cycle and is guaranteed to help with that puny bench press. There are only 2 spots left for each time slot, so if you’re interested email Sophie and lock in your spot.

Make this one hurt. Each mini AMRAP should be treated as a sprint. So set up efficiently and get your mind right. Think about sustaining 85-90% of max effort for all 6 rounds. No rest until the rest, got it!?
