- Cracking Heavy Day coming at you to start the week!!
- With 12 sets ahead of us we want to try and build on every set as we go. Have a think about your numbers and where you'd like to end up in. Do your math and kn ow where to start (hint: don't come out blazing hot or get consumed by the strict press at the start).
- Such a valuable day to learn where you are currently at with your upper body strength levels.
- Strength days, or "heavy days" are to be respected within the CrossFit prescription & programming. They are just as valuable as your "metcon" workouts. If you don't work on your strength training and dial in focussed technique you the progress will be harder to come by. These are the days we get to turn the clock off so to speak & not get flustered by "moving for time". There are certainly times for that type of lifting and we incorporate them into timed workouts to develop that side of your fitness.
- But true heavy days are where we get to geek out on the nuances of lifting weight. It is in this "geekery" that we can see & correct our faults properly. Take our time to rest & reflect and make changes in the very next set. Then we can truly test ourselves on what we are actually capable of and work off that in other training going forwards.
- Overall goal today is to build load each set (if movement/form permits) and focus in on those heavy singles.
- Hold the standards. Form is priority as always.
- Scale as needed.
