Re: 5/3/1 and Metcons
Just scroll down the page a bit to where it says MUST PURCHASE BELOW and add to cart from there. I don't know why they have it set up that way, but once you do that, everything seems to go normally.

Hi!
Count me in as a Deadhead CrossFitter, although I have not seen a show since I caught Phil and Friends maybe 5 or 6 years ago. I love the Grateful Dead station on XM.
