CFH Training Days 01/09/2014 – 07/09/2014

Posted 31st August 2014 by Josh Schouten

Week 9/12

The final macrocycle starts of this 12 week phase starts this week.  The design of the CFH programming has changed this month as we have implemented a new CFH levels system.  Please take the time to read the blog posts regarding these changes.

Its not all about the WOD.  On Tuesday and Friday will introduce CrossFit Engine Work.  Be prepared to work at 100% and push yourself to new levels.  Use the rest to recover and deliver the same output each round.

Thursday is a continuation of leg strength day.  We are now in week 4 of a 7week build-up pahse toward a 1RM Back Squat test.  Stick to the percentages and do not chace weight if you want to see the improvements.

The Gymnastics skills work is really starting to pay off for the dedicated.  A number of members have made excellent progress on their handstand and muslce-up tekkers.  Be patient and practicing as often as possible.
