The general idea is to get a new 3rm or 5rm PB for one lift each workout, over the course of 3-4 sets, then work up to improving a 20rm, then put in a regular Crossfit workout (although avoiding particularly long workouts.)

Personally, I don’t like the MEBB workouts (although for the Olympic lifts, they make more sense). Too many sets just wear me out and burn time. The extra time could be spent on skills.

The WODs themselves will continue to be just as much a surprise (unpleasant or otherwise) as before. And we will continue to cycle through all the movements as we have always done.

Plus nothing is forever; we’ll doubtless come up with an even better plan in a few months time (once we’ve moved, perhaps!)

I must admit my initial reaction is that I liked not knowing what kind of WOD I would be getting each day.

It meant that I could not be in any way tactical about what night I came and, consciously or not, avoid the things I didn’t like which are often the areas I need to most work on.

However,I will not poo-poo attempts at development. Excellent training is excellent training and I have every faith i will get just as good a beasting as always!
