Carl Case is one of our conditioning coaches for the Penn Rugby team and he also is a trainer at CFSB so that helped draw me to this gym and program instead of other programs. The training was different than the traditional ways of strength training I was used to because of the exercise split but it is aimed at making you a better athlete and that’s exactly what it does. The conditioning work is brutal, but well worth it and gives you a great feeling of accomplishment after you grind through one. All of my athletic accomplishments are due to training at CFSB and in the strength and conditioning program. I was never the fastest runner, most agile, or the quickest guy on any of my teams, but that was before I went through this program. I am now much quicker and have a much better step. I remember one play my junior year in specific, where I was very near to the out of bounds line and I made a quick step and remained in bounds and ran in for a score, after that I looked at Coach Carl and attributed that to his training. I started coming into CFSB my sophomore year and after that season and my junior year I made the all-state team and before CFSB there was no chance I would have made a high level team like that. I have gained, speed, strength and power through this program that I can attribute to all of my on field successes.[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]

Press 7rm @ 22X2 Tempo B. 3 Rounds 3 Minutes to perform 200m Run 10 Front Squats AHAP Rest 3:00 between rounds [Notes:] Press: You'll notice we are performing a lot of tempo for this cycle we are going through, this will allow us to "pick" on specific positions of a movement, keep the speed the same to ensure safety and validity of the movement, and to get the right dose response. Just pay attention to the tempo the coaches are asking you to perform at. If you didn't keep to the tempo, don't count it. Wod: Front Squats: Keep the Front Squats heavy enough that it's challenging - but not so heavy that you cannot finish in the time allotted. I don't mind if the sets get broken up. Scaling: If the run is the limiter, but you can still run, just cut it back to a 100yard run on the blacktop. If the run is painful on account of a knee/calf issue - sub a 1:1 Row[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Tuesday 4.26.16" open="false"]Tuesday 4.26.16 A. 15 minutes to establish Deadlift 7rm @ 32X1 Tempo B. 3 Rounds 8-12 Pull Ups @ 30X1 Tempo 30-50 Double Unders Rest 60 Seconds between rounds C. 10 Minute Amrap 60 Second Pillar Hold 10 Burpees [Notes:] Deadlift: Again, if you don't stick to the tempo, it doesn't count. Pull Ups: You got it, stick to the tempo - or you don't count it. I don't mind if you break your reps up a little on this one for the volume. Double Unders: If 30-50 is doable with no issues, challenge yourself to make them unbroken sets If you just now have doubles - either do double unders or double under attempts for 60 seconds or 30-50, whichever comes first If performing singles, perform a 1:2 Doubles to Singles Pillar Hold: Accumulate the time, even if you have to break it up Burpees: Standard regular style burpees.
