CFS Weekly Rundown (4/29-5/4)

Hey guys,

      It’s a gorgeous Sunday here in Burlington, North Carolina and it’s time for the CrossFit Simplicity Weekly Rundown! Welcome to the layout of CFS as it pertains to your workouts this week. We are just wrapping up our last cycle and are about start our new “basecamp” phase after one week of testing. Here’s a quick overview:

Basecamp/Test week: Basecamp 2.0, our offseason program, will officially begin next Monday (5/6). This week, we will hit some baseline testing / assessments to help dictate individual focus for the next few months of training. In Basecamp, we will provide daily optional after class work – strength accessories / bodybuilding, gymnastics progressions, machine progressions, and running program. Using these tests, the information you gleaned from the Open and QF, and your own individual goals should direct you toward your own priorities as we begin our next phase of programming. Get ready!
