Hey guys,
Happy Sunday! It’s that time of the week where we bring you another installment of the CrossFit Simplicity Weekly Rundown! We have a lot of exciting stuff going on at the gym, as well as inside of our programming, so I’m going to take a moment to briefly go over some components that I think will be beneficial to you all in helping you understand the goals associated with Phase II.
As you may have noticed, the underlying structure of this programming follows a progressive path of skill development. It involves a gradual increase in the intensity applied to these skills (HSPU, Pull-ups, Double Unders, etc.), culminating in a brief period just before the Open where we push these skills to their limits. If your goal is to confidently execute skills like Toes-to-Bar (TTB) and Bar Muscle-Ups (BMU) in metcons, it is highly recommended that you hit the optional gymnastics pieces after class. Similarly, our Density pieces are not just there for show; they’re key to developing the muscular endurance needed for the challenges you’ll see in higher intensity pieces. While you might not see something like Barbell Spider Flips in a metcon, you can certainly bet on high-volume pulling that torches your biceps before you jump into rope climbs. Think of those Density sessions as your chance to nail perfect reps even when your muscles are feeling the burn. It’s a solid strategy for significant improvements in your ability to execute these skills seamlessly during metcons. Remember, regardless of if you are trying to compete in the Open or any other competitions, we all need these skills to be more functional and capable athletes right here inside of CrossFit Simplicity! You all have been so much lately, so keep it up!
- Christmas Cheer Family: You all have done an amazing job grabbing tags from the tree. I believe they are all collected! Be sure to have these turned in by next Saturday, the 16th, and please wrap them, if possible!
