Program Description
To increase strength and muscle stamina
Designed for a young high level CrossFit athlete who trains twice a day/ 5 days a week
Major lifts will progress from peak sets of 5s on week 1, to triples on week 2, to doubles on week 3, and max singles on week 4. At the end of these 4 weeks the athlete start over and repeat the progression aiming to hit higher peak sets.
Each strength session will involve absolute strength work (expressed in 5s,3s,2s, and 1s), and muscular endurance work (expressed in 10+ rep ranges).
All muscular endurance work will include active recovery work. (Learning to recover between sets while continuing in lower intensity work- such as run, bike, row, or ski ergs)
Strengths sessions will be divided into 4 categories:
1.) Lower
2.) Push
3.) Pull
4.) Olympic Weightlifting
Each week there will be two Lower Body days (one will have a squat focus, the other a deadlift focus)
Each week will have 3 Push days and 3 Pull days
Push days will alternate between a Bench focus and an Overhead focus.
Pull days are not programmed in detail here. These sessions will involve a variety of movements chosen by the athlete.
(The program will just say “pull-ups”; but the athlete, in these sessions, will need to pick from a variety of movements — muscle ups, rope climbs, all forms of pull-ups, etc)
Each week will include 3 Olympic weight lifting sessions. Barbell cycling with active recovery will be attached to then end of each strength session in these days.
