BLK LBL Fitness Club – CrossFit® Today’s Programming – We are currently on a 2-week break and will hop back on the tracks with a Brand New Strength cycle beginning Monday, March 21. This will be a 9-week cycle, focusing more on the heavier Olympic lifting (Snatch/Clean), looking to lift 3 days a week while mixing in some Jerks, Front Squats, and Deadlifts. We want the focus to be on replicating good quality lifts, rep after rep. The Jerk is separated from the Clean to fixate on one movement at a time. Warm-up **1.

BLK LBL Fitness Club – CrossFit® Warm-up **1. Movement Prep/Activation and Increasing Heart Rate** Hip Halo Warmup -into- 6 min AMRAP 100m Run 5 Sandbag Squats or Barbell Front Squats (lightweight) 10-sec Sandbag Front Hold or Front Rack Hold **2. Strength Prep** Strength: Athletes will build to a heavy single on Deadlifts over the course of 10 minutes. A heavy single is not a one-rep max. The difference is that a heavy single is difficult but could be completed again by the athlete on a second set. A one-rep max feels like a 100% effort, and the athlete would not want to do a second attempt on that same day at that weight. Focus on active lats, driving their feet through the floor and squeezing the butt at the top of the extension. **3. Workout Prep** 3 sets 200m Run 2 Sandbag Squats or Barbell Squats (build in weight each...Read more
