Skills to pay the bills


The majority of our competitor athletes at CFS are strong. I find that what we are lacking most is in technical ability and efficiency, mobility and high skill body-weight movements. With only four months out from the opens, this initial phase of the programming will include continued strength work but will be focused on bringing up our technical ability and high skill movements to match that of a competitive athlete. We will also add in suggested mobility that should be done in addition to the hour of class each day. Make sure to do mobility with a purpose, don’t go through the motions.

Warm up/Skill – 15 mins
400m empty sled push as fast as possible
TJ – 2:28
Practice Kipping HSPU’s
ย 
Oly – 30 mins
Work up to a 1 RM
Clean and Jerk

WOD – 15 min cap
5-4-3-2-1-2-3-4-5
SA Snatch (each arm)
Deficit Handstand Push Up

Games โ€“ (100/70); 2 plates/6.5 inches
Regional โ€“ (2/1.5); 1 plate/3.25inches
Open โ€“ (1.5/1); no deficit

If you decide to use an ab-mat; add an extra plate to the deficit.

Homework – Calf mobility

    When choosing scaling options, be honest with yourself. Don’t choose the games option because you someday aspire to be a games athlete but are currently lucky if you survive the opens. Choose the appropriate scale based on your current fitness level, your experience with the wods movements and the time cap that is written. On workouts that involve your strengths, you may be able to jump up a competitive class while in workouts that involve your weaknesses you may have to drop a competitive class. Scale appropriately in order to get the best results.

    Hey, can you just let us know when the non-prime time open gym hours are?

    When are the best times to do the supp. wods, and extra stuff? (especially at night).

    Thanks, it looks awesome!

      6pm during the week and also 7pm on Thursday as we hold the intro class then. We should have more space within the near future which allow for open gym during these prime hours.
