Week 10/10 Test week #2
Final week of this 10 week cycle.
It’s our 2nd test week following on from last week. The aim was to spread the testing over 2 weeks to allow more people a chance of attending these sessions, and also not to overload your bodies with too much intensity.
This week we’ve got a 1RM Shoulder to overhead on Tuesday, Snatch 1RM Friday, and our 2 inhouse benchmark workouts – ‘Lung burn’ and ‘Satan’s whiskers’ to re-test. It’s going to be a fun week!
Starting next week, we will begin preparing for the CrossFit Open which will be held in October. (Starts Oct 10th). This will be a short 5-week block.
Next week will also be a strength deload, with a focus on skills and technique for the Open. If anyone is interested in signing up, let your coach know and have a chat with them about how you should approach it.
Have fun and enjoy your training ?
