Training
We just finished our first cycle of the new year with multiple PRs on the Squat and Bench. Well done, everyone; your hard work and consistency are paying off. The next cycle kicks off this week. The Focus for the cycle will be building strength and technical proficiency in the clean and snatch. We will continue to build on the strength gains on the bench press from the last cycle. We will add to a solid foundation of strength with volume with squats and deadlifts. On the conditioning front, we will focus on the different time domains to work each energy system, short, medium, and long. We will also retest prior cycle conditioning workouts. Book a call to join us.
The CrossFit Open started this past weekend, and versions of the workouts are on Mondays to mix things up.
