Hey guys,
It looks like we weathered the storm and it’s now another beautiful day here in Burlington North Carolina. Time to kick off the CrossFit Simplicity Weekly Rundown. Things are certainly heating up here in the gym and we have a great week in store for you all. This will be week six of our current lifting cycle. Since this is week six and you guys are comfortable and familiar with these lifting complexes the goal will be to challenge yourself to go heavy while still keeping correct form a top priority. We will be continuing our gymnastics progression so be sure to show up as consistently as possible and input your results into the system so that we can build and grow this progression week over week. Of course, as always we have some great conditioning for you all. You may have noticed the conditioning has been a bit on the lighter side as far as weights. The idea here is that we build a good aerobic base before we start adding any heavy movements that might slow you down. You guys should be getting very comfortable on the machines and with burpees at this point…This is a good thing! Now let’s take a more specific look at the week…
