Over the past several weeks, many of you have noticed a modification in your training program; A greater emphasis on strength, fewer rep's and basic barbell exercises. There's a reason for this - - I've noticed that your endurance has rapidly improved, but your absolute strength has not increased as quickly.
While I expect us to continue our CrossFit exercises, I plan to focus on these basic strength exercises for at least the next 4 - 6 weeks to get your numbers up. My goal is to help you increase your current 'personal best' in the Squat, Dead Lift, Press and Bench Press by at least 15 - 20%. It's a tall order, but we should see a dramatic improvement in your CrossFit times as well as your overall level of fitness.
In order to be successful you will need to redouble your efforts during your training sessions, keep the focus on your nutrition and get proper rest/recovery.
Knowing your competitive nature, I plan to post the percentage gains that each of you makes in the above mentioned lifts and award a prize for Most Improved...
Stay tuned for details.
