CFH Training Days 09/03/2015 – 15/03/2015
WEEK 10/12
COACHES COMMENT:
The last few weeks of the current lifting focused phase are in full swing. In the next couple of weeks we will be testing some 1RM efforts on the split jerk, snatch, power clean, front squat, back squat, and incline bench. This is chance for you to RECORD YOUR NUMBERS. What can you squat? What can bench? Are your numbers adding up? Can you spell GAINZ, or are you simply taking the easy path in your training and not seeing RESULTS?
“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men, true nobility is being superior to your former self.”~ Lao Tzu
If your not recording your numbers, the coming 16weeks are going to be difficult. What the plan for the next phase I hear you ask? We are going to switch to a 16-week GET STRONG phase. We will be following a combination of The Juggernaut Method and Jim Wendler 5/3/1 (how to build pure strength). The focus will be deadlifts, strict overhead pressing, squats, pull-up strength and some bench. Now is the time to start preparing yourself for the work ahead, you need to know your numbers. CrossFit is observable, measurable and repeatable, and what is measured can be improved.
You should know all of your lifts and be able to calculate the prescribed percentages of each lift. You all know I love a spread sheet, expect big things for the next phase).
There are loads of WOD logger applications for your phones, purchase a log book, get a tattoo, whatever it takes to keep an up-to-date log.
Stay tuned for future blog posts over the next couple of weeks details the next 16-week phase.

Eat breakfast to lose weight. | “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” We hear this statment all the time, so why do so many people still skip breakfast? Far too often the excuse is either “I don’t have time” , or “I’m not hungry in the mornings.” Breakfast skippers have been found to have poorer glucose control throught the day when compared to a high-protein breakfast eater. It you can not manage your sugars, you can not manage your body composition. |

How to get a better rack? | A lot of CrossFitters struggle to get a solid from rack position. Often you hear athletes complaining about wrists pain after performing front squats or overhead pressing movemnets. More often than not, these pople have limited internal rotation of the shoulder joint. Continue mobility work on shoulder internal rotations will delived improvements in the rack position. Take the time to prep your shoulders before you get your rack out in the CrossFit class. |
