In Linda, which lift is performed last?

• A. Clean
• B. Bench
• C. Deadlift
• D. Front Squat

Answer: (C)

Linda is a CrossFit benchmark that uses three lifts in a fixed order: bench press, deadlift, and clean. You perform 1 rep of each in that sequence, then 2 reps of each, and continue up to 10. Because the sequence goes bench, then deadlift, then clean, the last lift in each round is the clean. Finishing with the clean tests your ability to express power cleanly after fatigue from the bench and deadlift, making the final movement the most demanding of the three in the layout. So the lift performed last is the clean.
