Cycle 1401

Fitness
Cycle 1401
Intensification phase
January 6, 2014-February 22, 2014 (7 weeks)
Objectives and Focal Points

• Transfer movement capacity developed with higher volume, lower intensity creatine phosphate (CP) work into more intense, maximum force production CP development.
• Transfer high volume, low intensity aerobic development training into lower volume, higher intensity aerobic work (mixed modal and cyclic).
• Increase "per set" volume of anaerobic lactate power/endurance training using appropriate modalities.
• Develop balanced structural mobility and strength with a focus on the scapular and hip regions.
• Develop an understanding of shoulder protraction and retraction and the appropriate use of each.
• Have Fun!

The Fitness program cycles are constructed in an undulating pattern which relies less on times of the year (i.e. The Open) than the Performance and Competition cycles do.  

Performance
Cycle 1401
Intensification Phase
January 6, 2014-February 22, 2014 (7 weeks)
Objectives and Focal Points

• Encourage a peak relative to mixed modal aerobic capacity and mixed modal anaerobic lactate endurance.
• Increase the frequency of testers (1-2/week--open style).  Encourage personal strategy development.
• Increase kipping pull-up, box jump, and muscle-up volume.  This will help with timing in these movements as well as resiliency.
• Encourage a peak relative to creatine phosphate stamina by transferring weightlifting/gymnastics top-end strength gains developed in previous cycles to CP stamina.
• Have fun!
