Brob's #37

Well the CrossFit Games 2011 are over. It was a wonderful experience and I am sure it's going to become an even more amazing event next year.

That being said, I guess it's time to start getting back on track with my normal training. I am going to lean out very far and put my thoughts on the line. I do not believe that it is necessary to train 3 or more times a day to prepare for a CF event. I think some strength training kept around 15 to 20 minutes and a wod that goes from 5min to 30min will suffice. Once in a while do a long one that goes up to 45min. Keep it varied and work on things that you suck at and that will be enough. For example dumbell movements, one legged overhead squats and ring hspu.

What you should also think about is to start up a challenge. Maybe once a week to keep you preparing for the unkown. If you keep training with the same people or train alone all the time you end up getting used to that environment and that might not be helpful. Mix it up occasionally.

Let's see if I change my mind around.

Our Challenge this week:

Four rounds, 10-8-6-4 reps, for time of:

Run 500 meters
Dumbbell complex*, 45lbs (20kg):
-Squat clean
-Shoulder-to-overhead
-Front squat

*All three movements together count as one rep
