Plan for 2013 on the Blog

 

Starting tomorrow, there will be some testing and planning (and changes) made to the blog. Each group will have a separate “target date” and training focus and all training priorities will be determined by the testing we do in the next couple weeks. If you are following the blog or you have a gym following the blog, INPUT your scores (even if just for this week and any later testing phases) to ensure that we can aggregate the data and turn the data into a theoretical person that follows that group. It is in your benefit to include your data in the testing to ensure that your scores are taken into consideration (for example if you need upper body pressing and only 5 people input scores who all need upper body pulling, the group’s design will actually not be optimal for you). Each group will also train to prep for the OPTathlon in the off-season. Below is a more in depth explanation of what will happen with each training group over the next year.

 

She:

The she program will be geared towards prepping females for the 2014 crossfit games. The she program was initially started to have a upper body relative strength bias to ensure that females could be competent in the volume of gymnastics that is tested in the crossfit games. This will be a long term plan and will still incorporate energy system work throughout, but the primary target is NEXT years opens. The opens will still be prescribed into SHE’s training, but the lead up to the opens will not have as much energy system development as the other groups. If you are a female that has adequate capacity in gymnastics and upper body strength and you want to compete this year, I suggest now moving to being/will.

 

Being:

The target date for the being group will be to peak during the opens. We will try to maintain through the opens based on feedback of the group, then we will de-load and start a long term plan for the opens of 2014.

 

 

At this point unsure of whether to continue with She or switch to Being. Through testing phase I will do She and then decide.
