Baseline & Additional Programming

"Baseline & Additional Programming "

The official "Crossfit Open Season" has begun! This is a great opportunity for both the competitor and the everyday Crossfit athlete to get a baseline and seek to improve weaknesses. The "Crossfit Open" is a great testing ground to see where we all stand. Based on the results from the open, athletes can get an idea of what to be working on improving. As much as we think there is some "secret program" out there, it essentially comes down to getting yourself well rounded as an athlete. Triage or prioritize your "goats"and slowly peck away at them. When you take on the task of doing extra work towards your weaknesses, go into it with the mentality of "eating an elephant". The most efficient way to get that done would be to take one small bite at a time. Think of the bites as (you working or drilling those goats). In this New cool world of Crossfit there are so many things that we are learning everyday as athletes & coaches. It seems more like a practice then fitness, similar to medicine. Patience and Consistency will be your two biggest tools in this journey! With the little  exposure I've had over the last five years to Crossfit, I can attest that those two things have helped me tremendously! When prioritizing your goats or weaknesses start with the one that is the absolute worst. If you can run a 60 second 400M run but cannot overhead squat an empty barbell then mobility and strength should be the extra work. This extra or "skill work" should only supplement the regular program you are on, (class programming). All extra work should be nothing but "Skill Work" with the class programming as your Main Focus.


Taking on multiple workouts can sometimes be more damage than good, speaking from experience here. Keep in mind the more you take on, the more recovery time you will need. Mobility, Mobility & more mobility!! If you are 100% new to CrossFit, or fresh out of foundations, the class workouts are more than enough. Once you feel you are ready for more than the main programming, start with a very small amount of extra "Skill Work". Skill work is different from a "WOD....Workout of the Day" because it is strictly that, (skill work). No need to rush handstand gymnastic work when you are just getting comfortable upside down. You will be slowly building strength & confidence in these areas of weakness. Better results will come from slow and exact perfection instead of speed and haste. Take the time to do it right and the Intensity will follow. I've noticed some athletes already taking this approach in the Running Club and folks working on those pull ups using a pull-up skill progression progam. Talk to some of these athletes in your very own community and get feedback on how this is working for them.
 
Doing your homework will payoff. Aside from just “doing” you can also get mental reps with reading and media. There are plenty of tools at your fingertips, just beware that the information out there is just enough to make you dangerous....ALWAYS consider the source! The Crossfit Journal publishes great, reputable articles and there are great trainers out there with plenty of knowledge and experience. Start out asking yourself why you are seeking this information and what it is you want out of the journey.....long term health, physique change or competing? Make your goals and aim Big but also think "Long Term" because health & wellness is the #1 reason we are all here! Remember, it’s not all about volume, it’s about quality of training!  I am in no way saying my suggestions are the one and only way to approach your training, I just want to share what I have found to work well (or not so well) based on my very own experience with both my personal training and coaching other athletes reaching for goals. Remember, it's not always about volume, but quality of training that will help you get those "goats"!  Feel free to hit up myself or any of our Coaching Staff with any questions on this subject. Enjoy your next WOD and go forth and do Great Things!!

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstances. I give God all the glory for bringing Lord Zakuza into my life for helping me get my wife back that got me divorced for one year. I was the last person on earth to accept the fact that spells exist or work not until I was referred to Lord Zakuza online to who has helped so many people with his powerful spells. I had no other option than to give it a try because 3 months after the divorce, I was demoted at my place of work due to depression for I don't know what to do to get her back but thank God today for using Lord Zakuza to get my happiness and love life back within 48 hours. Just last week here, I was promoted back to my position and I'm here to share my own experience with this man called Lord Zakuza. I don't know what you are going through today but know that in all situation there's always a way out. Lord Zakuza also prepares spells like Lottery spell, job spell, spell to stop a divorce, spell cure for any diseases, protection spell, spell to become successful and wealthy E.T.C. Contact him now for any help via WHATSAPP MESSENGER or SIGNAL MESSENGER on: +1 740-573-9483 and Email on: Lordzakuza7@gmail.com

I feel so blessed again in my marriage after Prof Remmy brought back my husband that separated with me for good 3 months. AM NATALIE KEYMAN from MEMPHIS,USA . i really ain't know what would be enough to thank Prof Remmy for his powerful helping hand in my life. My husband separated with me for 3 years hence being in pain & agony without him. I searched for help everywhere but nothing worked out not until I met Prof Remmy who I contacted online through his website (https://www.psychicremmy.com/). I explained my situation to him and he promised that my husband will get back to me within 48 hours. I believed in him and as he prepared a powerful love spell to bring back my husband permanently. Thomas called me exactly within 48 hours as Prof Remmy had said initially before performing the rituals. He pleaded and said he needs me back and now we are living happily again for the past 9 months. Everyone out there reading my article that needs help should contact him... Email: psychicremmy@gmail.com or Visit: (https://www.psychicremmy.com/).

Hi guys, I don’t have much to say right now rather than to say thank you to Dr Amber for rescuing me and my family from poverty. I love playing the lottery but winning big is always the issue for me. I will never forget the day I came in contact with Dr Amber whose lottery spell made me a winner of $360,000,000 million dollars just by giving me sure winning numbers within 3 days to play the lottery after he prepared the lottery spell for me. My financial status has changed for good and I’ve started to live my dream life after 14 years of playing the lottery. Thank you Dr Amber for I’m very grateful for all you’ve done for me and my family. You can call or message Dr Amber via WhatsApp with +1 (318) 306-5044 or email: amberlottotemple@yahoo.com or visit: www.amberlottotemple.com for more information.

Omg I Finally Got Helped !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out.. I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want.. Via Email emutemple@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp cell number +2347012841542
