Deadlift 4.4.4.4 @ 32X1, rest 3-5 minutes between sets ***Score weights B. Amrap in 8 minutes Toes to Bar Deficit Push Ups - 45's on each side 3,3..6,6..9,9..etc - keep going up the ladder by 3's ***Score total repetitions [Notes] DEADLIFTS: I'd prefer these 4's are all within 80% of your final heavy ass set. Meaning if I intend on finishing at 425, my sets leading up that actually count as working sets are...365,385,405, 425. If you have no idea where you will end up, warm up until you hit your first conservative heavy 4 then add 5% for attempts until you fail from a technical point of view or otherwise. That would look like this - If hit a hard but smooth 4 reps @ 275 and determine it's a good starting spot with some room for improvement. Then hit...290,305,320. But if you get to that 4th set at 320 and think you STILL can go up?! scratch the 275# and keep going until you fail a set. AMRAP: Pick a scaling that you can cruise through and/or - more appropriately - the scaling that you used for the tester at the beginning of the cycle (assuming you did that one) with 75 toes to bar for time. Oh, and they are deficit for a reason, don't put the plates on and not touch your chest to the ground - if you don't pass through the plates to get to the floor you are missing the point of the deficit.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Tuesday 9.13.16" open="false"]Tuesday 9.13.16 A.

Shifting to Intensification

By: 0

So, without getting too in depth with this – We just finished 8 weeks of accumulation, we are now going to transition over to intensification for the remaining 4 weeks of the 12 week block before we test. So you’ll see the volume drop a little in strength, the conditioning will pick up a bit – which is what some of you have been getting a hard-on for. To visualize the difference between Accumulation and Intensification in regards to what it would look like in one movement. Lets say, we tested a Front Squat 1rm. Test Week – Front Squat 1rm: Noticed a lot of issues in general population with upper back support, valgus knees, strength/confidence issues in the full bottom position. Intent: to increase 1rm Front Squat, not necessarily to work heavy long volume – as a priority for most of the population, strength is top tier over volume. Conceptualize on how to remedy those problems through the 8 weeks of accumulation – could be X, or X causing the issue. Devise a plan on how to approach these issues – for instance: upper back could be remedied by a lot of scapular work, kelso shrugs, scap pulls and the like valgus knees could be remedied by hip flexibility work, ankle flexibility work, single and double leg glute work confidence in the bottom position could be remedied by spending more time (tempo) in the bottom position to work confidence, simply increasing reps and sets of front squats working on the neural patterning of the Front Squats, it could simply be strength – this one gets down to just doing the moment and doing it correctly. Action the plan: Take those items, and put it into programming whereas the majority of the population will be exposed to it – if we really want to improve it (is it a priority over the others?) probably not putting it on the weekends, the difference between exposing it to 20-30 people or 100-130 people on a weekday. Progress: The first 8 weeks of accumulation involve a progressive nature in either one or multiple of the following – sets, reps, tempo, rest between sets, exercise selection. This ensures we aren’t throwing everyone in the deep end, the equivalent of moving the volume up 10% at a time OR just throwing someone in the deep end of the volume and watching them sink or swim. Transition to Intensification After 8 weeks you shift away from the supplemental work and inch your way closer to the conditions of the actual tested movement. Although most novices will PR at this point anyway – pull the volume back, here is a simple 6 week look at what it could look like. Accumulation – working on controlling the descent and confidence in the bottom Front Squat 3×5 @ 4301 (15 total reps ) Front Squat 4×5 @ 4301 (20 total reps) Front Squat 5×5 @ 4301 (25 total reps) Intensification – stripping the tempo to use the new found confidence in the bottom that hopefully improved structure to apply to the tested lift. Front Squat 7.5.3.5.3 @ 31X1 (23 total reps) Front Squat 5.3.1.3.1 @ 31X1 (13 total reps) Front Squat 3.2.1.2.1 @ 31X1 (9 total reps) Retest Front Squat: Gather new noticing about the people who tracked and tested the prior 1rm, gather fresh noticing for the new batch of Crossfitters that have entered the fray in the middle of the cycle or just recently.

What Kind of Relationship do you have with Food?

By: 0

What Kind of Relationship do you have with Food?-CFSB Wellness Wednesday Do you eat to live or live to eat? Do you use food as reward and punishment? Are there foods that you currently eat that go beyond being merely delicious and instead become addictive? We talk about all of these issues in more in one of our first videos about the psychology of eating. When it comes to eating to live versus living to eat, each of us should maintain a balance between the two. We don't want to just use food as fuel with absolutely no enjoyment. Food is an important part of cultural, religious, and national celebrations. But at the same time we don't want to be people who live to eat and pay no attention to the nutrient content of food. Most people today are way way too far on the "live to eat" side of the spectrum and they've lost balance with the "eat to live" side. If you feel like you might have an unhealthy relationship with food this video will offer some suggestions as to how you can restore a healthy relationship with food.
