CFH Training Plan 08/06/2015 – 14/06/2015

Posted 7th June 2015 by Josh Schouten

Week 11 of 16 Juggernaut

COACHES COMMENT: 

Member: “I think there is a error on my spread sheet?”
Coach: “Really? Why do you say that?”
Member: “The weights are really heavy, so I think I’m going to do less”
Coach: “Stick with the spread sheet and see how you go, be brave”


Coach: “How did your Juggernaut squats go?”
Member: “I didn’t use the weight on the spread sheet, I went lighter”
Coach: “How many repetitions did you do?”
Member: “I did 16peretitions on the AMRAP’
Coach: “You failed then…”

We are currently in the 5’s wave of Juggernaut and the weights on is wk1:70% AMRAP, Wk2: 77.5% AMRAP, Wk3:85% AMRAP of your predicted working max.  If your following this correctly you should be hitting wk1: 10reps, wk2: 8reps, wk3: 5reps plus or minus 2-3reps.  If your doing more than repetitions you have FAILED to achieve the desired training result.

There are many different type of strength including relative strength, functional strength, explosive strength, starting strength, hypertrophy strength and endurance strength, and each has its own training protocols.  In the Juggernaut 5’s wave and the 3’s wave the intension is to training relative/functional strength by keeping the number of repetitions in a certain range.  If you are taking the easy option, lightening the weight on the bar and doing more repetitions, you are training the wrong type of strength.  You have FAILED! you are not doing the HARD WORK.  If you go heavy and you do less repetitions you will still be training relative/functional strength and working towards the desired affect. More is not better in this situation, less is more!

Then we have the individuals who have fallen behind the Juggernaut programme and have decided to catch-up by doing everything at once.  “I’ll go to the gym today and do my Juggernaut deadlifts, squat and bench…” FAIL!  This is not the time to be putting all the lifts into one day, you are failing by doing “hard to do work.”

The unfortunate fact is that every athlete has a very real limit to his or her work capacity and ability to productively respond to training. As much as we would all love to train eight hours every day, it isn’t possible. This means prioritising elements of training is a critical part of creating effective programming and getting real results.  Quality over quantity is the key.  Juggernaut is about building strength with HARD WORK and plenty of rest.

“Do less. But do what you do with complete and hard focus. Then when you’re done be done, and go enjoy the rest of the day.”

  • Hard work is deliberate practice. It’s not fun while you’re doing it, but you don’t have to do too much of it in any one day. It also provides you measurable progress in a skill, which generates a strong sense of contentment and motivation. Therefore, although hard work is hard, it’s not draining and it can fit nicely into a relaxed and enjoyable day.
  • Hard to do work, by contrast, is draining. It has you running around all day in a state of false busyness that leaves you, like the average players from the Berlin study, feeling tired and stressed. It also, as we just learned, has very little to do with real accomplishment.

RECOMMENDED WEEKLY READING:

Calnewport:  The Surprisingly Relaxed Lives of Elite Achievers Why are the elite players better than the average players? The obvious guess is that the elite players are more dedicated to their craft. That is, they’re willing to put in the long,Tiger Mom-style hours required to get good, while the average players are off goofing around and enjoying life. 

The data, as it turns out, had a different story to tell…

XLAthlete: Proper Breathing for Sports Recovery – An often overlooked component of many programs is restoration and recovery. Coaches attempt to manipulate variables in their workouts, changing intensities, volume, and exercises in order to cause adaptation. However, a training program is most effective if the athlete is able to recover from and adapt to the previous stress/workout.

Mobility WOD: Audio: Gray Cook talks about flexibility or mobility? – Flexibility or mobility?  Mobility is the only intelligent word to be used here!  Flexibility implies that stretching can fix and issue, and this is generally not the case.  Mobility is a medically appropriate word to demonstrate both joint mobility dysfunction and soft tissue extensibility dysfunction. If you have a joint problem and you start stretching the muscles, you can actually make the issue worse.  The problem may not be a question of flexibility, but a missing range of motion can be a issue of the joint or motor control.  Mobility defines the truth about range of motion and the principles that impact it.

Catalyst Athletics: The Press for Weightlifting: How usedul Is it? The speed of the movement is arguably the biggest issue. I feel pretty confident saying that’s it’s common knowledge that in order to develop speed, you need to train with speed, and that training slow movements will limit your development of speed to some degree. Training what is essentially the exact same movement of the drive under the bar with slow speeds and potentially poor lockout overhead at a significant volume and frequency is negatively influencing the speed of the drive under the jerk.

EatToPerform:  43 Delicious Carbs to Keep you Lean While You Kill Your WorkoutsCarbs are not the Devil.  If you honestly want to perform you need to eat your CHO around your training.  Eating the right carbs will improve you workout intensity and produce better body composition results that training on an empty stomach.
