CFH Training Plan 15/06/2015 – 21/06/2015

Posted 14th June 2015 by Josh Schouten

Week 12 of 16 Juggernaut

COACHES COMMENT: 

I’ve had some fantastic conversations with members in the last week, face-to-face and via e-mail.  It’s been fantastic to see and hear about the strength improvements that have been made so far with the Juggernaut system.  A number of the girls have increased their lifts by 10+kg since we started; some of the boys have increased their lifts by 20+kg.  It’s nice to have such positive feedback from so many members, especially since they have been the ones doing all the hard work.  Those of you who have followed the programme, download the spread sheet and done the work have reaped the rewards. Job well done to you all.

This week will be a dealod before the final big push to squeeze every single drop of strength out of the Juggernaut system.  The final 4 weeks will be the hardest of the lot.  Its time to work on the 3’wave and push the percentage up to the top end of our abilities.  These weeks will test your strength and you fears!  Can you get under the bar and attempt to lift weights that you have never lifted before?  Lets find out out next week.  In the meantime, enjoy the delaod (unless you behind on you Juggernaut and then you should use this week to catch-up)

RECOMMENDED WEEKLY READING:

Breaking Muscle: Pull-up Vs Chin-up : A Comparison and Analysis – The elbow joint range of motion for the chin up sits at roughly 126°. The overhand pull up range of motion sits at 136°, which makes the overhand pull up have greater range of motion. This elbow range of motion can explain why the chin up has more biceps involvement versus the pull up.

The shoulder range of motion for the chin up sits at roughly 163°. The overhand pull up range of motion sits at roughly 182°, which makes the overhand pull up have a greater overall shoulder range of motion. This can explain why the chin up activates the pectoral muscles and the pull up activates the lower trapezius more so than the chin up.

GMB: Hips Don’t Lie: Unique Hip exercises for Power and Mobility – The hips provide most of the incredible power and force that our lower body can generate for running and jumping, and deficiencies in strength and flexibility in this area of the body can mean the difference between a winning performance or a painful end to the game.

Compared to the shoulder joint, the hip is much bigger and sits more deeply in the socket. Because the hips have to carry the majority of our bodyweight through thousands of steps a day, they need to be quite stable, whereas the shoulders need to be more mobile in order to move our hands through all our daily tasks.

This isn’t to say that hip mobility isn’t as important as hip stability, especially when we consider that we want to do much more than just walk or stand all day. The primary pain complaints regarding the hip are muscle strains (in the hamstrings, hip adductors, flexors) due to unfamiliar exertion or overuse, with the root cause of poor movement patterns as a result of deficient strength, flexibility, and/or coordination.

Tabata Times: Runaway: Why Correct Form Isn’t Just Important For Weight Lifting – One mistake many CrossFitters make is writing off running as an activity that anyone can do. While most people are busy working on their snatch technique and focusing on keeping cores tight during back squats, they are completely neglecting the mechanics of running correctly.

Let Her Eat Clean: What Does 200 Calories Look Like? – So what does 200 calories actually look like on a plate? Well, if you’re all about quantity, you might want to opt for just shy of a kilo of raw spinach (good luck with that one) but generally 200 calories represents a substantial snack or a mini meal.

Poliquin Group: Don’t Make THIS Most Common Mistake When Trying-To Lose Fat – Slashing calories below the basal metabolic rate (BMR) is one of the worst things you can do when trying to lose body fat. When you drastically cut calories to the 1,200-a-day range, the body will fairly quickly downregulate your metabolism in order to preserve the fuel stores, and you’ll burn fewer calories daily
