Who?
This design is set up for the intermediate person. Someone who placed outside of the top 400 in the open. Someone who is looking to focus on strength development, aerobic capacity and anaerobic capacity in a periodized template focused around the open.
Why?
When I think about this question I want people to understand what I'm doing so that when they go into the gym they can have a purpose and know why they're doing RDLs or GH raises. So many people blindly follow programs and don't have any understanding of why. I want people to get better but I also want people to get better mentally. I want people to have a physical adaptation but also a mental adaptation. I want people to understand how to do this for them selves. So that one day they can design a template for themselves.
How?
So the way this design works is that there's an off season from about April - October. Then we will go into a in season peak for the open. The ultimate goal will be to feel like superman or woman in March. So how does that work?
Basic energy system training will be based on the image above. We will build a large aerobic base in the off season and peak for the open. The way that works is the bigger the base the bigger the peak. So, we will to start with a lot of aerobic training. That will look like a lot of long slow distance work with mix model components. It needs to be mixed model b/c we're training for Crossfit but there will be some single modality work also. All of the aerobic work will be at or around 70%-85%. All sub maximal training. As we get into the October time frame the training will start to look more sport specific meaning more Crossfit style work (more random) and then into peaking for the open. This work will be good for people who have a hard time pacing and also people who have a hard time breathing hard during workouts like 17.5.
For the strength training aspect of the design it will go through a few phases. 1st phase will be stabilization. This will focus on getting good movement. So slow tempo work to develop good movement and strengthen the tendons and ligament within the muscle. This will help also to get people into health and out of injury. From there we will go into 2nd phase, which will be a more strict movement progression work. Building off of the 1st phase. 3rd phase will be dynamic movement. This will come out as we get closer to the open.
Goal:
The goal is to increase functional strength, aerobic capacity and anaerobic capacity for the open.
There will be a lot of tempo work in the first phase. Here is a brief description of how to read tempo.
Back Squat @ tempo 30X1
X - Is always the movement away from the earth.
1 - is the top of the movement
3 - is the eccentric movement or always the movement going to the earth
0 - is the hold away from the body
So for the back squat it will read:
3sec down, 0 sec at the bottom, explode up and 1 sec at the top.
