TESTER

Today was an opportunity to get a feel for WOD #2.....
Choose to work a max of 10min OR 5 Rounds @ 80% effort....focus on breathing and HR control.

This should be a confidence booster for Saturday...so don't analyze it to death! 

Some thoughts after running through it today.....

DEAD-LIFTS: are light...you can pick it up with or without air and breath threw each rep to get the HR down after Box Jumps

PUSH UPS: hands release at the bottom...be precise and deliberate in each rep...don't lay their like a whale waiting for the tide to come in...keep working and continue to BREATH to work HR down!

BOX JUMPS: Be Rhythmic (is that a word?) You know what I mean...stay smooth and consistent...get through those reps AFAP!...let your HR get up HERE... remember you have two exercises to work HR back down.

FINAL THOUGHT...take a risk in the final minutes of the workout ...push your threshold to the max....make sure there is nothing left in the tank! 

Tomorrow: Light Recovery /Skill
Friday OFF
Saturday: HAMMER IT!

Training Day

Schedule for the week....Some more thought after the first week of competition and consulting with James(OPT)...I believe it would be of our best interest to make Wednesday our "test day" for the Met-Con and Saturday our "Competition Day". Since most athletes will be doing the workouts 2-3 times each week...we need to provide ourselves the best opportunity to move up. Currently we are 46th as a Team. If we were in the top 5 we wouldn't need to worry about hitting the WOD twice...so just like the last week most of us improved after our first attempt so lets keep moving up with this strategy.

SCHEDULE
Monday aerobic power + strength
Tuesday Strength + ana Power
Wednesday .com tester @ 95% TBA
Thursday Skill Work + Strength
Friday OFF
Saturday .com wod competition mode


PART 1:
CFCC Strength Work + Met Con

rest 4-6hours

PART 2: 20m Swim Zone 1

Training DAY

Ok CHAMPIONS...there isn't a lot of  "second chances" in life... BUT this weekend we get one.  A couple things I would like to share with all of you before Saturday. We all know this WOD is a "Heavy Breather"...after 2min we will be sucking in O2 like we are standing on top of Mt. Everest....
1) Accept the heavy breathing...welcome it like a long lost friend! Know that you only need a few breaths to grab 75/55lbs and put it overhead...
2) Stay in it for the entire 10min....don't walk away from the bar...keep hands, feet eyes or whatever on it (bar) the entire time. When you are not on the bar...push that Co2 out with quick forceful breaths and GO!!

ps: after the the warm-up jog or the first couple sprints...if some of you are sore, achy and breathing heavier than normal and unable to get you HR down... go home and rest.

AM: Shake out

10 min slow jog + Run Drills

200m Run x 4 / walk rest recovery as needed
coaching note: don't run "all-out"... just enough to get the heart rate (HR) up...after 200m stop completely and focus on getting your HR down as fast as possible. (just like u would before grabbing the bar to get more reps).

+

Build to a Heavy Single in the Power Clean 5-6 sets only... NOT a PR.

+
3sets
PS x 6-8
DU x 15-20
focus on breathing and rhythm

Updates and Review

Ok....I hope everyone has a since of how this online competition works. Some of you have had a long week hitting the workout twice....and by doing that some of you can see how training and recovery can be hindered. For simplicity and mental health :-) I would like to see everyone compete on Saturday...together.  I know 6 Weeks is a long time to commit every weekend BUT we all have been training REALLY hard for this moment and we should do our best to make it a priority.  With that being said, I understand life and things come up...we can be flexible if we have to.

 If you haven't heard yet...CrossFit HQ is basically re-duing week one by extending WOD#1 dead-line to next Sunday 27th.  This means WOD #2 won't be released until March 29th. AND YES, that means our workout this coming Saturday will be WOD #1 AGAIN. This is an opportunity for everyone re-assess  and fine tune their performance to improve scores.  This includes improvement in technique and energy management though out the WOD.

Schedule for this Week for everyone:
Monday: Strength + Ana Power +recovery
Tues: Ana Power  + Supplement Work
Wed. Intervals Lactate work
Thurs: easy recovery + strength work
Fri: off
Sat: .com wod#1
Sunday: aerobic power training
monday 28th: 90min recovery, ice bath, rolling...

Last week we discussed hitting the open wods  Wednesday and Saturday ...if needed. With all this being new I want everyone to remember that this is a "6 Week" process. Recovery and training still need to be a priority in order to reduce injury and de-training.  Everytiime we hit an EXTRA Open WOD it will take away from  your training progressions and recovery needed to perform at your best....add that up over six weeks ...and it doesn't sound "optimal".  This week we will run it as planned Wed/Sat....any comments ?

BS ATHLETES PLEASE CONFIRM ON DAYS THIS WEEK YOU WISH TO THROW IT DOWN....IF YOU ARE NOT COMPETING ON WEDNESDAY... DO CFCC WOD!
