CrossFit Hackney Weekly WOD’s 30/06/2014 – 06/07/2014

Posted 29th June 2014 by Josh Schouten

This week will be a deload week in preparation for a 13 week macrocycle ahead.  A phase that will be very challenging and rewarding for those who train smart and take this opportunity maximise their recovery.  The next phase will have a heavy strength focus working towards 1RM testing for cleans, jerks, snatches and squats.

Some food for thought:

The central nervous system (CNS), like the muscles, has a set point at which it must be stressed to bring about adaptation.  Applying the right amount of stress at the right times will produce positive gains.  Overloading the CNS with too much stress  leads to stagnation, lower levels of strength, illness, or injury.

The CNS has a set amount of recovery that is needed to operate at full capacity.  We can think of this like a glass of water.  Every time we exercise we take out some water, and every time we sleep, take a rest day, eat well, apply the right supplements, etc. we put a little water back in the glass.  Over time, the size of our glass (and therefore the capacity for water) will increase.  The same thing occurs with adaptations for muscle hypertrophy.  When we take out too much water without replacing it, bad things start to happen.  This is where an trainee starts delving into the overreaching and overtraining realm.

Professional athletes have well constructed programs with planned overreaching built into them.  After the program is complete a deload week is usually taken with the aim of  the athlete coming back much stronger and fitter. The athletes glass has become larger in capacity during the program, but still has not sufficiently replaced the water inside of it until the week of recovery where resting, sleeping and eating well help fill it back up to capacity.

Try to not to overreach in any of the workouts this week.  Don’t chase weight! Stick to the percentages and take the opportunity to practice your form.
