Heavy Metal CrossFit Competitor’s Blog: Friday 7/15/2016
Recovery day:
1) Stretch/mobilize everything (full lower body circuit, happy shoulders, etc).
2) Optional: SHORT to MEDIUM duration/steady state type work (row, bike, swim, run/walk, etc). Keep intensity low and don’t overly tax system.
2) PM: Oly lifts & Auxiliary ,Gymnastics Skills (MU, HS, & Pullups, etc), WOD 1 (Sprint/Heavy), WOD 2 (Conditioning type), Quota & Skill Work: Pullups, and optional HS, HS Walks, etc.
~5-6pm: Weightlifting
Wave 3 of 4 (Level 3, Week 1 of 3): Base Volume/Prep & Accum 2: ‘Daily 321 Specific’
*Recommend to copy and paste workout into each respective day on your sheet
*May move Saturday lifts OR Squats to today if needed for time/energy, etc. BUT, be sure not to over do Thursday.
OPTIONAL: 1 Day per week ‘Upper Strength & Quota’ maintenance option on Friday’s)
Upper Strict Strength Suggestions & Considerations:
Out of Season: Sets 4 & 5-Perform high rep strict back off sets for muscular endurance (Unless strict strength is more important for current goals: then do the lower rep scheme).
In Season: Sets 4 & 5: Drop the high rep strict back off sets to prevent skill & wod fatigue (However, may perform the lower rep schemes)
During Season/Competition Weeks: Drop sets 4 & 5 and if needed just work up to 1 top set for the day of the current rep scheme. May also drop 1 upper body day and perform just 1 upper body maintenance day on Tuesday or Friday) (During CF Regionals & CF Games drop the Friday workout for the last 2 weeks).
(OR: Hang Snatch + Snatch to top 1+1, then Snatch x1 to ~85-90% of Monday) (OR: Snatch Pull + Snatch to top 1+1, then Snatch x1 to ~85-90% of Monday-may keep pull on all reps) (OR: Pause @ Knee Snatch + Hang @ Knee Snatch to top 1+1, then Hang OR Pause @ Knee Snatch x1 to ~85-90% of Monday)
Upper Strength (srict): ~30-45 Minutes (if stick to proper rest periods)
Snatch Pulls (‘may’ drop pulls if do back off sets):
Upper Strength (srict): ~30-45 Minutes (if stick to proper rest periods)
(~30 Minutes: If short on time, need to taper/peak, or just maintain strength-drop optional 4th & 5th sets)
(~45 Minutes +: If do all optional/bonus sets and any other auxiliary upper work)
(Note: See 1 Day per week upper maintenance option on Friday’s)
***Add the scale as needed note by the drop sets)
*May superset push and pull exercises below (better for conditioning) (ex: Bench Press w/BB Row) or run through one at a time (better for strength) (In the later case may do all push exercise first, then all pull).
(Note: if you often sandbag an exercise wihtin a superset: don’t superset them;)
(Optional back offs: Option A: 1s x3-5 sets @~90%+ of top x1. For options B & C: Drop 5-10% x1+1, then 10-15% x1+1 of top 1+1 on today’s ramp up (if miss any add another set at same or less weight)
4s: Plan A-4s w/high rep back offs, Plan B: Regular 4s x3-5 work sets (for strict strength focus and WOD preservation), Plan C: Just to RM (for time/peak/recovery purposes)
