4/1-4/6: Next Programming Cycle

Happy April and Happy Easter! Here are a few notes about our upcoming programming cycle, going through the end of May.

We are starting an 8-week Snatch cycle that will be programmed every Monday following last week's baseline test. We will vary the type of Snatch lift we are doing to add complexity each week in two 4-week blocks starting with Hang Power Snatch, followed by Power Snatch, Hang Squat Snatch, and Squat Snatch. There also will be a secondary lift to focus on positional strength including Snatch Push Press, Overhead Squats, and Snatch Pulls. The last week of each 4-week block will include Snatch singles giving athletes an opportunity to go heavy if they are feeling good. This cycle will still be a good opportunity for regular CrossFit class attendees to improve Snatch technique and strength. For a true weightlifting cycle experience, we encourage athletes to go to Barbell club to maximize results in the Olympic lifts.

We will also be preparing for Memorial Day Murph with a long workout each week focusing on adding pull-up, push-up, and air squat volume so athletes are ready to test this classic hero workout at the end of May. We will fill in the rest of the week with varied metcons and strength work as we normally do.

Let us know if you have any questions and see you at the gym!
