With the conclusion of The Open we are going to start a new 9 week program that I’ve been working on over the past few weeks. I’m pretty excited about this template. The goal will be to improve strength and body awareness with less of a focus on metcons. Ideally, this will get you all ‘beach-ready’ while continuing to work the finer skills of CrossFit. The reduced volume will leave you with a little left in the tank to enjoy all the outdoor activities that living in the Okanagan has to offer!
We will be alternating strength training days with gymnastics focused metcon days. So every other week we will have either two or three metcons only. This is a bold move in programming for CrossFitters as we all love the metcons but this will be a good step back and offer a really good chance to focus heavily on proper technique. I would love continued feedback on your experiences with the training days.
