If flexibility allows, you may Full Snatch. Double Unders: Stick with something you can finish within a 60 second time frame 30 Min Time Cap: This isn't a race, but it shouldn't take you more than 60 seconds within each brick of work. Strict Pull Ups: Don't reach your chin, pick a scaling that allows you to stay consistent through the work. Strict Handstand Push Ups: No extra mats, no complex scalings, if you cannot perform strict HSPU - perform max effort unbroken push ups with no pause at the bottom. EMOM: Stay consistent and leave a few in the tank with this section, I don't want to see your reps drop off aggressively because you burnt out early.

Start conservative. No more than 3-5 big deep breathes between your movement sets. Ball Slams: Pick a ball that you'll never have to break cadence with during your 10 reps Bear Crawls: keep your back flat Kettle bell Swings: Pick a weight whereas you'll never have to break your sets up No Push Up Burpees: Keep a consistent pace, I don't want to see you do 5 fast burpees, rest, fast 5. I'd like to see you stick to a pacing that is consistent across burpees.

If flexibility allows, you may Full Clean. These Power Clean sets are not unbroken, and should be performed like this: Power Clean (or full) with 3 second pause in the bottom, recover, drop bar - 10 seconds to set back up for the next single, perform by 3, then rest 90 seconds. Double Unders: Stick with something you can finish within a 60 second time frame 30 Min Time Cap: This isn't a race, but it shouldn't take you more than 60 seconds within each brick of work. Box Jumps: Pick a height you can jump to, land in a solid position, and finish well within the 60 seconds - and don't rip your legs to pieces Turkish Get ups: Pick a weight you can finish both your right and left arm within the minute - if you happen to read this, not mandator but try to START the movement with your weaker arm each round.  [/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Friday 5.6.16" open="false"]Friday 5.6.16 A.

So try to show up on time for class - if you miss some of the warm up you might be SOL for this workout. Pacing: This is all performed at 80-90% effort...meaning I want consistent scores throughout each matching piece. So that should play into your weight selection. If you'll notice, We've been prescribing Rx'd weights less and less - because you are all individuals and differ greatly, think of the intent of getting the correct stimulus the RX'd on these workouts. for instance I should see... 1: 45 reps, 51 reps, 43 reps, 49 reps 2: 44 reps, 48 reps, 42 reps, 47 reps Keep the rounds close Power Snatch, Wall Balls: Pick a weight that allows you to not have to break the reps up. Burpees and BSU: A pace that you can keep consistently rep per rep.

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]
