Hey all, this week leading into the new year I will be throwing out two options. Fitness or Competition. This will be a test for one week, then I will gather some feedback. The Goal splitting programs Neither program will be “easier” or “harder” than the other. The difficulty is what you make of it while lifting load and how fast you move. These all depend on your current experience and skill level, and your intent of training. If you are newer, meaning you haven’t been training with us for more than 1.5 years, and you still have some strength imbalances, are unfamiliar with the more advanced movements, you may want to stick to Fitness. Fitness is not a “modified” or “easier” program. The movements might be modified as we wouldn’t program a muscle-up or snatching for our Fitness group, BUT the volume is usually higher with a tempo to the lift which makes this program perfect for movement correction, body composition goals and boosting general health and fitness. This challenges athletes on more of a cellular level and is extremely challenging if you go as heavy as possible in the strength work and follow the prescriptions i.e. the tempo, rep range, interval intensity, etc.   Safety First Because of the high skill involved in the Competition programming it is very important to assess your skill set before deciding to join in for the day. If you struggle with ring dips and have little experience in Olympic lifting, it might not be a smart option to jump into a day of heavy snatches and muscle-ups. Fitness is a great foundational program to help build strength and keep your body feeling healthy without putting you through dynamic and aggressive positions that you might not be ready for. If you have no clue how to perform the movements in competition for that day, then you may want to step back to Fitness for that day. Ask Your Coach If you aren’t sure which program is best for your needs, consult your coach! We will steer you in the right direction and give you our honest opinion about what we think would be most beneficial for you! We are here to help and make sure you get the most out of your experience at CrossFit South Bend.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="Monday 4.24" open="false"]FITNESS A.
