A New Cycle

The 2013 CrossFit Open is over!  I am exceedingly proud of the focus, determination and skill displayed at the gym over the past five weeks.  Now, it is time to get back to training.

Below, you will find the objectives of the first four weeks of your new twelve week cycle.  Additionally, we will perform some diagnostic testing in the near future to facilitate a higher degree of precision in the programming.  There will also be a few fun, surprise events around the corner.  Stay tuned!

TPG Cycle 1304 Objectives (weeks 1-4)

• Build a deep aerobic base using sub-maximal, continuous work incorporating mixed modalities and monostructural modality sessions.
• Increase force production in pressing, pulling, squatting and hinging.
• Increase rate of force production and neuromuscular efficiency by training moderate intensity Oly lifts coupled with jump training.
• Increase anaerobic power output (alactic) using monostructural modalities.
• Incorporate a few testers for fun.
