Mastering the nine foundational movements is key to building strong, efficient CrossFit skills.
The Level 1 Certificate Course breaks them down into three progressions:

Squats — air squat, front squat, overhead squat

Presses — shoulder press, push press, push jerk

Deadlifts — deadlift, sumo deadlift high pull, medicine-ball clean
Each progression builds on the last, so solid mechanics in the basics are crucial.
These movements teach essential themes like core stability, posterior chain engagement, full joint range, and active shoulders—skills that transfer to many other functional movements.
Get these right, and you’ll have the foundation to confidently advance to more complex lifts and workouts.
