Crossfit Program: 20/5/19 – 26/5/19

Hold on tight this week as we start to push some 1RM and 5RM testing on you to get ready for the last week in May. We’ve been working up to this over the last 4 months. So, buckle your bootstraps and get ready for a fight. As for how to approach it we would recommend that this week you test the water and make sure you’re comfortable with heavy loads of a given movement. If not, hold tight as there will always be another time to shine.

Weekly training schedule:

Monday: Lower body with a work rest component in the WOD that will build week on week in difficulty.

Tuesday: Upper body with Bodyweight dominated WOD 10-15 mins in length.

Wednesday: Strength-based energy systems. We’ll be aiming to get warm 0:00-15:00 then have 20:00-40:00 mins of work to get through.

Thursday: CrossFit Gymnastics – Now with beginners and advanced components with Jenna and Anthony Masters

Friday: Upper body with set workloads to achieve in a time period

Saturday: Team and Partner workouts grab a partner and suffer together

Sunday: testing workouts and names WODs.

When we see testing of strength, some should choose wisely, staying within our means and experience (in the gym).

1RM (the amount you can lift for one repetition or 100% effort) is not the best test for a new member hence you will see a 5RM test next to it. As a newer trainee, it would be wise to stick to the 5s. The biggest kept secret to getting strong or fit for that matter is that consistency is key. Overcooking it on the 1RM testing is a great way to interrupt the flow of training. So let’s keep the lid on the cookie jars, just for now. Come the last week in the month we will blow the lid clean off and see what you have got.

Let’s get stuck in and reap the rewards. Remember, consistency is key.

Please do make sure if you are recording this you take note if you use the arch wall or the flat targets on the rig. There is a big difference here!

These wods will be coming back around in a roughly 3-month cycle. Please record if you are looking at comparing!
