Notes: 5th week of this cycle! Wed and Sundays are considered “rest days” during this cycle and are not considered part of the overall program. They will always be slightly longer workouts. This our 6th cycle and will finish off our CrossFit Calendar year and bring us to the CrossFit Open which begins in 8 weeks, on Thursday, February 23rd. To prepare for the unknown and unknowable this cycle will not be as regulated as cycles before. We will be focusing on strength more so than our last cycle which was focused on endurance, which means it’s time for higher intensity.. We should go into the open strong and with high capacity.
As always, 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.
