Week 8! Last week of this cycle. Testing week coming next week and then our last summer cycle!

This cycle has focused on explosive strength and speed. We used different movement patterns, objects and interval time domains to stimulate change and growth within our sport. A quality fitness regimen involves constant change and variety and during this cycle we will use loads and lifts that challenge the neuromuscular system that mimic challenges found outside the gym.

Scaling Options for Class:

L1- A beginner CrossFitter, those that are looking for more cardio based fitness, or someone just returning after a long break. This programming is designed to keep up the intensity during the workout while maintaining consistent movement and proper mechanics.

L2- 50% of CrossFit athletes. L2 Athletes have an understanding of all the foundational movements of CrossFit, how to scale them, and are working towards adding load, increasing mobility or increasing their gymnastics skill base.

Rx- A CrossFit Athlete who understands the foundational movements of CrossFit, moves with proper mechanics while under load, and can do 90% of programmed workouts without scaling.

Competition (Rx+) For the Competitive CrossFitter or those looking to compete in the sport of CrossFit. This person can regularly move with high intensity, proper mechanics, and consistency through all programmed workouts.
