CFH Training Days 24/11/2014 – 30/11/2014

Posted 23rd November 2014 by Josh Schouten

Week 9/12
The final 4 weeks of the current phase commences this week.  We are going to be working towards  5RM’s on the 3 main lifts (squat, deadlift, bench).  Follow the percentages on these lifts and stick to the programme that matches your current level 0f strength (this is based on the CrossFit Hackney levels).  Each member will get the best results if they follow the programming.

Gymnastics: Pistol squats, muscle-ups and handstands are the flavour of the final 4 weeks.  Their has been some excellent progress on the pistol squats over the last 8 weeks, hopefully the next 4 weeks we will continue to see the gains. A number of members are dreaming of muscle-up and handstands and this is a chance to learn the progression to help you on your gymnastics way.  Be paitent with these skills as they require perfect technique and continuel practice.

WOD, WOD, WOD… it must be competition season.  Loads of CrossFit event are currently happening and we are doing our best to help the CrossFit Hackney competitors get their qulification WODS done.  This week includes 3 qulification WODs in the program.  Best of luck to all of those competing.  All of these WOD are hard work and to get your best results we recommend you plan to have a rest day between each qulification WOD if the results are important to you.  Your not going to perform at your best if your training every day.  There will be loads of other days in the future when you can do heavy met-con , weapons or olympic lifting.  Missing a couple of classes during the copetition season is a SMART move.  It always seems to go on deaf ears when coachs tell members to rest and recover.  But hey, you know best!

Movement Quality

Performance

10min EMOM Snatch Complex

1 Power Snatch

+ 2 Mid Hang Snatch

suggest: 70% of best weight lifted in A.

This forces the lifter to produce more power/force on the second rep after having been fatigued by the first, and then having less time and space to lift the second.  The aim of this snatch complex is to improve the rate of force development, more aggressive and complete extension at the top of the pull, and more aggressive pull under the bar.  MOVE FAST.

Warm-up

Lines and locomotions:

Trainers Choice

Session Equipment: Barbell, Rings, Ab-mat (for head), handstand wall,  Pull-up station

 

Gymnastics

Performance

Skill: Handstand

1. It all starts with basic push-up mechanics (vertical-forearms)

 – perform a push-up

– whereever your face touches the ground is where the top of your head should go in releation to your hands for the Tripod.

2. Tripod headstand – Apply the same vertical-forearm concept as the push-up to establish a solid base and to share the load (body weight) between all three points of the Tripod.

3. Tripod and change points of contact – take one knee off you elbow, then put it back.  Repeat with the other knee

4. Headstand – extend you legs into a hollow body shape (keep your feet above your hands)

5. Handstand with feet on box -push your head through the hole, just like push-press

6. Handstand with only one foot on box, other leg extended overhead

7. Wall walk – as you walk up the wall keep looking at you toes, this will help you maintain a hollow position

8. Wall facing handstand  – only your toes touching the wall
