We started a new training cycle this week. This is actually the start of our new training year so if you are starting with us now prepare yourself to get in amazing shape!
We have 5 Training Cycles throughout the year from CompTrain! Since we finished the CrossFit Open recently we are starting over our training cycles for the next year!
What are the CompTrain Training Cycles?
Our annual training cycles from CompTrain are:
“Silverback”
Return back to the basics -
Foundational strength, laying the groundwork for the season. Incorporating squat wave
training, overhead strength, and a focus on moving better through a variety of positioning drills.
Squats 3 days per week, pulling 3 days per week and pressing twice per week!
Stress on the podcast that you will be sore but sore does not mean stay away from the gym
Lots of our athletes haven’t been with us during a strength building cycle so they are going to be not used to the soreness they’re feeling
Also please stress that they need to be recording the Lifts I know some people are good at it some people don’t want to put the numbers in for strength building your numbers are important
“Grunt Work”
Building stamina strength into our weekly progressions, including capacity through barbell cycling, stamina squat sessions, and unilateral dumbbell work to improve positioning and correct imbalances.
“Barbell Ninja”
Focusing on the mechanics and technique on the olympic lifts through targeted progressions in the clean and jerk and snatch and olympic accessory work.
“Gymnasty”
Improving body awareness and honing in on movement stamina and quality. Progressions towards the ring muscle-up, bar muscle-up, handstand pushup, and more.
“Racehorse”
Open preparation. Dialing in conditioning and targeted skill refinement for the movements tested in Open competition.
