Programming Overview: April 6-10

A note about our programming for the immediate future…

We are switching gears after the completion of this year’s CrossFit Open (yay!). Our focus for the next 2-3 months will be to build upon our aerobic base as well as increase overall strength. Both of these have to be at or near their full potential in order to start building speed and power. So we are breaking things down and focusing on the basic lifts with the addition of some assistance movements as well as getting better at moving for longer periods of time at a slightly lower intensity. You will be seeing much more of the main lifts and longer AMRAP intervals.

Please let us know if you have any questions AND KEEP TRACK WITH EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING DAY TO DAY!
