Overview of our programming this week

As we go into the Open, we will be doing the 4^th week of our Back to the Basics strength cycle. This Back to Basics cycle will go for a total of 8 weeks. As the name implies, we’ve been taking back to basics for our first strength cycle in 2023. This cycle will focus on the 3 basic power movements (Back Squat, Deadlift, and Bench Press), where we will hit maxes early and retest again. This week will again be 10 sets of 3 reps for the power lifts. We will also be taking the Olympic Lifting down in weight and focusing on light barbell cycling to help prepare for the Open.

Accessory work for this week:

Monday –Bench Press
Tuesday – Power Snatch
Wednesday – Deadlift
Thursday – Back Squat
Friday – N/A
Saturday – Arms & Core Work

For Monday, it’s time to get the kettlebell moving with some swings into goblet squats and double-unders. Tuesday is when the intensity will ramp, and we see if we can hang on for dear life on shuttle runs and burpee box jump overs. Now it’s time for some Assault Bike sets where athletes test the pace off the start with a buy-in of wtd. lunges and T2B. The goal is to see if we can stay consistent with having adequate time for the bike. Thursday, we venture into the realm of Tabata! We will be put into a mixer with this row/shoulder press/row combo. Friday through Sunday will be the Open workout 23.1. On Saturday we will have an alternate cardio workout for those not doing 23.1 on that day.
