CrossFit Hackney training program 23/1/2017 – 29/1/2017 (week 4)

Posted 20th January 2017 by Geoff Stewart

Crossfit

Week 4 of our first 9-12 week program of 2017. So the weather hit new lows this week and you had to keep moving to stop your hands freezing to the bar we even had a request from friends down under to buy some bar warmers before they returned ?! WTF we ain’t no Aussie softies in Haggerston. It’s another good week tucked under those Lycra waist bands and some more quality credit in the “I will look hot on holiday bank”.

So I have cracked on about it being cold but on a more serious note the warm up section are not a time to catch up on gossip. they are a very important piece of the training puzzle. Your coaches will set a generic warm up with relation to what’s coming at you in form of strength, volume, skill or breathing work they might give individuals some specific mobility work as needed or might even get you into you warm up set early so you can hit your working sets like a lion in a butchers shop. Louis symonds believes that your working strength sets shouldn’t begin until your at 85% of your 1rpm we ain’t powerlifter so we ain’t so particular but you get the idea. Warm the f*** up.

This week’s focus

I have cracked on about it above and I’m going to crack on about it again…. WARM UP.

Strength – lifts

Pull up and back squats. On your strength lifts make sure you have had a number of warm up sets under your belts then build the weight through your sets you might be starting with the higher number of  reps and finishing on the lower thats fine we are looking for a steady progression without any failed reps. On our Back squats can we please focus on solid breathing use that breath to build stability – ask you coaches.

Volume – lifts

Deadlifts and bench press . You have a  1min test we are looking for the calculation reps x weight = Total KG moved, On your  test If your doing negative pul ups it with a controlled eccentric tempo until you fail please, please keep the form strict and range honest.

Breathing / clean days

Technique, Technique people this week we are changing our complex round and you have not got huge amounts of rest so lets look to keep the weight manageable and the form snappy and solid. Our breathing workout is spicy with a YGIG format, you need to set yourself up well and keep motoring don’t redline steady and strong is the aim.

Breathing / snatch days

As above please
