CFH Training Plan 06/04/2015 – 12/04/2015
Week 2 of 16 Juggernaut
COACHES COMMENT:
BOOM!!! Juggernaut has arrived and the CrossFit classes are buzzing with members keen to increase their strength. Very impressed to see the number of member who have downloaded the Juggernaut spread sheet and are using it to calculate their numbers. TRUST ME, in week 5 when we commence the next wave (8’s) you are going to wish you had used the spread sheet, its a complicated process to calculate the strength improvements without it. Those of you who are unsure of your 1RM’s don’t stress. After performing the AMRAP in week 3 the numbers will balance out and the spread sheet will determine how strong you really are. Be ready for week 5! On the other hand, those who have overestimated their strength, you will be in for a shock come week 3. If you fail to perform 10+ repetitions in the AMRAP your recommended weight will go DOWN in the next wave. Yes, the weights will go down as you have not estimated your 1RM correctly. The spread sheet don’t lie!!!
The Science of Rest
It’s a difficult concept for most CrossFitters to comprehend… REST!! The rest periods refers to the length of rest between sets and exercises. The length of the rest interval dictates both the training response (hypertropy, strength gains, metabolic change, etc..) and the hormonal response to a given workout. The shorter the rest interval the greater the metabolic demand, hence why our Met-con classes are a great way to improve your body composition. Generally, if you want to maximise the impact on the nervous system (strength training), full recovery is recommended between sets. Longer rest periods are more likely to promote strength gains than shorter ones because near-maximal recovery of force generation parallels restoration of the energy substrates in the muscles.
Aim to take a minimum of: 90sec rest between your Juggernaut sets. Allow the muscles and the nervous system to recover so you can maximise your output in the final AMRAP. Strength is the objective here, not 3,2,1… GO!!
