NEW SCHEDULE

We are going to start a somewhat new schedule this week:

Monday = Upper Body ME
Tuesday = Rest
Wednesday = Lower Body ME
Thursday = Rest
Friday = Met-Con's with Upper Body focus
Saturday = Met-Con's with Lower Body focus

ME Days - Includes warm-up, technique, ME lift followed by Rest Pause sets, a short intense met-con, and assistance work.

Rest - complete rest, play a sport, light cardio, mobility...

Friday and Saturday's - we will do occasional alternate heavy lifts depending on how we are doing (if we did Deadlift ME earlier in the week, we may lift heavy on squats...). We will also do more traditional Crossfit workouts with a focus on upper or lower body.

Friday, February 3, 2012

2/2/12 to 2/4/12 -THURSDAY TO SATURDAY

We are taking an extra two days of rest this week. No workouts today or tomorrow.
