Want to have some bearing on what is programmed at CrossFit South Bend? Then put your results in at the end of the testing and baseline week.

Lets give you the short and simple version with programming.

THE TESTS

We made a post a while ago on what some of the main goals of our programming are here

To determine where you are all lacking per our goals, we throw testing weeks in which include tests on…

Bending: Deadlift, Power Clean, Power Snatch

Double Leg Squatting: Back Squat, Front Squat

Single Leg Squatting: Bulgarian Split Squat

Upper Body Pulling: Vertical Bodyweight Pulling, Horizontal Bent over Row

Upper Body Pushing: Horizontal-Close Grip Bench Press, Vertical- Strict Press, Vertical-Push Press

Core Tests: Side Plank, Plank, Other correlative tests in conditioning with TTB.

CP Battery Test: Power Clean 90% test, We also are using a Power Snatch and Burpee tester here

Alactic: Short end speed – under 30s of work

Lactic Power: We stick to the higher end of the lactic power, around 60s of work with single modality – run in our case as it gives us the most accurate dose response

Lactic Endurance: Multiple Testers ranging from 2-8 minutes 2k, WallBall/Run tester, Grace, etc. Balancing single modality v.s. mixed modal workouts.

Aerobic: This can range from 30s rounded tests to longer duration workouts, what is inherent here is the ability to keep the pacing during this type of workout. We have some rounded work (KB workout) Mixed modal style (the chief) Mixed Modal Long (18 minute amrap lunge/box jump/ttb during baseline week) Depending on how you do in a workout – this could also change the workout from lactic endurance to aerobic. For instance, if you can perform annie unbroken – that may be a lactic endurance response to you, but if someone isn’t terribly proficient at the movement – it may turn the workout into an aerobic workout to them. This gives us further insight into what people need.

High skill under fatigue: We have some muscle up and hspu testers coming up as well, to see if you even have the strength to perform the high skill movements, and if you can, how do they look under fatigue?

THE DATA

Carl and I will sift through the numbers – comparing you against yourself, then against the group. Lets use pulling as an example.

 

Can the athlete perform strict pull ups at their bodyweight?

What does the horizontal pulling look like in relation to their bodyweight?

What do these pulling numbers look like in relation to their press?

What does the press look like in relation to their bodyweight?

Does the athlete have complete function of the scapula? getting insight from coaches, do they have full flexion of the shoulder, a winged scapula? etc?

How often does that athlete come in? does the athlete often miss days that we pull on?

These types of things give us some trends in what the priorities may be for everyone.

YOU v.s. THE GROUP

Now, you individually may WANT a bigger squat – but looking at the numbers you may be a level 4 squatter and a level 2 push/pull. This heavily weights the upper body pushing and pulling in the programming for  you, and if this is a trend we see in the majority of the members, that becomes priority. So remember, your data goes in, we notice trends, then we compare against the group. We still focus on squatting of course, but this may not be the number 1 or 2 priority. Individual goals are typically encouraged to talk to a coach about – we will hear it often “You should programming running more.” Is that because YOU want running? or do you know the data of how EVERYONE in the general population performs in relation to running tests, and what that sits in the spectrum of all testing? If you want individual programming – click here to email me and we can move the conversation forward from there.

FLEXIBILITY/FUNCTION/PHYSICAL HEALTH

These priorities are then listed, along with trends with mobility/function/stability that we may notice in class. If we hear from the coach “people have bicep pain”

We want to know

How many people?

Who are they?

What have they been doing leading up to the issue?

Very often we find they either went off and did some other crazy workout or programming that caused the issue – have had a prior history of the issue and need some extra attention, etc. These considerations go into the programming as well to keep peoples possible issues in check.

PRIORITIES

Once we determine priorities against the group and have listed them. We will run an attendance report that spans over the course of a few months to see the people who come in on Monday through Sunday.

If we get a population that looks like this

Monday: 120 people came in and trained

Tuesday: 100 people came in and trained

Wednesday: 90 people came in and trained

Thursday: 100 people came in and trained

Friday:80 people came in and trained

Saturday: 40 people came in and trained

Sunday: 20 people came in and trained

We look at this, and the #1,2,3,4,5 priorities go where the most people will be coming in, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, with other priorities going on Wed and Friday, then so on and so forth through the weekend – only touching on the things that the general population are best at on the least populated days.

SETTING THE PROGRAMMING

From there:

The skeleton of priorities is made in order

Then exercise selection based off of equipment, needs, other classes involved during those times

Then pairing along with Sets, Reps, Tempo, Rest to pick on specific weaknesses for each individual movement or train (example here)

With work capacity/energy system training typically starting away from the intended training range and working toward it, selecting focused movements during that time

From there we set a progressive model to show the best case scenario of accumulation throughout the group to peak for  success.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Other considerations like your training age, biological age, intelligent scaling up or down, skill acquisition coaching, energy system training dose response, gender issues and neuromuscular efficiency is handled by the coaches.

ONWARD

From there, we can only look at the numbers and listen to all of you. We notice things, we look for an explanation, we make a new prescription, we action it…then we do it all over.

A.

Press 1rm or 3rm

B.

Row 2k

[notes]

Planning out the day: 5-10 minute warm up, leading directly into 15 minutes and not a second more leaves you with 25 minutes elapsed and 35 minutes left in class. If we have 18 people in class that means 3 heats. Average time for a male last time was 8:09 in class, average for female was 9:14. Here is how this shit is going to go down.

Everyone goes through the warm up together, everyone goes through the press together. When assigning heats for the row – fastest rowers go first, you know who you are, if you feel as though you may be a few minutes off from someone else in a heat – go in a later heat. For instance, if we have 13 people in a class, and 3 people have 7-9 minute 2k’s…only those three go first, if we have 6 others in the 9-11 minute range, they go next, the people in the last heat are the people that have no idea what their 2k is, or people in the 11+ range.

Press: No hip movement in the press, make intelligent jumps with this – small small small jumps, 3-5% is a huge jump on this relative to the other movements.

2k: Pace yourself! If you have a prior number, set yourself up for success by watching your splits.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Wednesday 10.12.16″ open=”false”]Wednesday 10.12.16

Max Effort Side Plank Right

**Score each side separately

C.

2 Rounds

60s Max Effort run for max yards
rest 5 minutes between

[notes]

Planks:  keep the feet stacked and if you deviate too high or low, call it – don’t internally rotate your body either, I want a solid side plank position.

Bulgarian Split Squat: I’d like the height set up so that its almost right below your kneecap – the benches may not do for everyone, you may have to use plates – that should make it so everyone can lightly tap the knee to the ground or get damn close in regards to tightness- foot up or down, don’t care. don’t use a barbell, its dumbbells for what we are doing. follow the tempo. click here for a video

Run: max yardage covered over 60s – you should hate yourself during this. We will have markers drawn on the ground and when the coach says TIME you stop and note your yardage. In order to get an accurate test of this low end stuff our choices are pretty limited to get the right dose response, running – and possibly rowing, but running will be more accurate.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Saturday 10.15.16″ open=”false”]Saturday 10.15.16

1 power snatch
6 burpees over bar

continue until you can no longer finish the burpees of that round in the minute.
