...Like almost all of my training, I play it by ear.<br /><br />A key point here is that when you build something with regular practice, when it comes to testing, you will often far surpass what you thought possible.<br /><br />For example, after every wod I used to do a skill practice circuit with 85 lb. overhead squats and 8 chest to bar pullups in a weighted vest. One day I tested my maxes on these and got 175 for 9 in the overhead squat, which was bodyweight at the time, and 32 consecutive chest to bar pullups in a weighted vest.Russ Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02927699882167717900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207664163068620797.post-89432907494346247052010-01-18T10:19:57.984+01:002010-01-18T10:19:57.984+01:00definitely makes sense. i appreciate a program th...definitely makes sense. i appreciate a program that has a cornerstone or focus that attacks weaknesses. do you have a set time frame for when you will adjust priorities in the second layer, or will you continue until you're happy with the improvement?anywherefithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12091994254084487624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207664163068620797.post-85405027982651058112010-01-17T18:26:03.355+01:002010-01-17T18:26:03.355+01:00It's pretty good out here in CA, Blair.

I used the opportunity to get better at gymnastics and jumping, two weak points for me. I've now been back at the weights and running for six weeks and am able to set PR's again. <br /><br />Fitness for me is about two layers: a series of constantly varied workouts to develop general capacity, and a consistent, focused program designed to develop my specific weak points. The priority in the first is intensity, and the priority in the second is to focus on skill development.<br /><br />So, for example, I want to get better at front squats, handstands, and running. I might do the regular 3on/1off schedule with randomized workouts (pretty similar to what you do), but every cycle I'll also be sure to hit a bunch of handstand skill practice, at least a few sets of heavy front squats, and 1-2 middle to long distance running workouts. Make sense?Russ Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02927699882167717900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207664163068620797.post-84595109998287174722010-01-15T19:05:25.828+01:002010-01-15T19:05:25.828+01:00hey russ,

He does a whole fricking lot of interval training and heavy lifting in the 3-5 rep range (in addition of course to 2 CrossFit WOD's a day.)Russ Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02927699882167717900noreply@blogger.com
