Program Update for July/August

Programming update for the next 4 weeks

Today’s article is short and sweet. We enter into the final 4 weeks of our 8 week cycle with a focus on work capacity. More specifically, we focus on our ability to work through fatigue, manage blood lactate, and push outside of our comfort zone.  This cycle will also mark the 2nd week of Olympic lifts focused on the “hip” position, as well as continued  skill work on kipping pull-ups and overhead squats. Below is a day by day overview of what our next 4 weeks will look like.

Monday
– Olympic Lifts from the hip
– Conditioning aimed to improve aerobic capacity at higher intensities, efficiency, and resilience to fatigue

Tuesday
– Overhead and Gymnastics skill work
– Conditioning aimed to improve aerobic capacity at higher intensities, efficiency, and resilience to fatigue

Wednesday
– Olympic Lifts from the hip
– Short and hard  interval work designed to improve top end work capacity at higher intensities, as well the ability to actually work at higher intensities

Thursday
– Full body strength work with a focus on squatting, bending, and horizontal pressing

Friday
