Monday 4th –> 9th February 2019 

Notes from Head Coach:
This is week 5 of our 7 week block working up to the CrossFit Open which begins on the 21st Feb! Last week and this week are our most intense volume-wise. We will be having a deload week next week with much less volume, more focus on fun and skill work in preparation for 19.1 the following week.
Speak to a coach about the Open if you’re interested in signing up or unsure what it involves. It would be great to have as many people registered and cheering everyone on in the WOD’s. It really is an awesome way to track progress. Here’s a link to sign up: https://games.crossfit.com/cf/login?flow=games&returnTo=%2Fregister%2Fopen
Make sure to get in on Friday to give the ‘Open Test’ a go. We do this benchmark workout every 3 months, and you can easily see your progress from last time on ZenPlanner.
Have a great week and enjoy your training
 

Monday 4th

STRENGTH:
Overhead squats 6-6-6-6-6 (first 2 sets tempo @30X1)
Tempo for the first 2 sets. Again, 1 rep more in total then the previous week. Building confidence and working on hitting depth. Build to heavy 6 reps.
Aim to increase the weight each set depending on how you feel and your own OH squat mobility. The aim is to get comfortable with the bar positioning overhead and try to hit your depth on each rep. The tempo on first 2 sets will encourage better positioning and technique.
