Monday It’s been quite some time since we have done paused squats. While your paused squat will inherently be lower than your regular squat, there’s a lot of benefit to doing paused reps in your training. Doing paused reps makes getting out of the bottom position tougher, and can improve your overall squatting ability. Paused […]
Monday The inevitable has arrived. Squat sets of 8. We rarely dip into the higher volume sets so I wanted to use these past couple of weeks to get some volume work in. Last week we did sets of 7 so you can use that to guide your weight selection for today. Be sure to […]
Monday I probably sound like a broken record talking about aerobic training but I won’t let up! There’s many benefits from specifically training to improve your aerobic system. It improves your bodies ability to deliver oxygen which mainly improves your endurance. This means you can perform at a higher intensity for longer because your body […]
Monday I think these push pull emoms are great because you get to build a nice strength base without having to worry as much about technique when compared to something like olympic lifting. If you have ambitions of doing handstand push ups one day but aren’t quite there, you might want to consider opting for […]
Monday I have discussed the benefits of aerobic training before, and my intention with my month of programming is to have 1-2 days of aerobic training per week. A truly aerobic pace looks and feels extremely different than a traditional CrossFit workout. The pace should allow you to hold short conversation with someone if you […]
Monday You may have noticed over the past couple of weeks we have been going through the various pressing progressions. We started with strict press, the following week was push press, last week was push jerk, and we are rounding out this little pressing cycle with split jerks. Split jerks are reserved for our olympic […]
Monday Building from last weeks positional work, we will have you all working from the hang only today. This should allow you to put a bit more weight on the bar as compared to last weeks high hang work because the hang tends to be more mechanically advantageous. It’s still important to keep in mind […]
Monday Building off of last week’s aerobic focused workout I want to still have another workout that’s built around keeping an aerobic pace, but start to implement some more traditional strength training movements. I have written workouts like this in the past and have labeled them as aerobic bodybuilding (might be a good selling point […]
Monday Todays strength portion is using more accessory style lifts, but will still provide you with lots of benefit. The goal should still be the same as any other strength session. You want to select a loading to challenge/fatigue the muscles enough to feel like you got a solid strength workout in. Just because the […]
