SATURDAY CROSSFIT GAMES PRIMER – LET’S GO COACH JENNA

Before she goes off to the Games, we want to take Saturday as a chance to get a feel of some of Coach Jenna’s training. Saturday’s workout will be a couple of pieces from Jenna’s training that day (she plans to take the 9 AM class). We know many of you dream of making it to the Games and this will give you just a taste of what is like to train to get there.

It’s a little different approach than our normal training, so you might find it interesting. The first strength piece isn’t just a strength piece but also is involving a bit of cardio. It is a percentage work bench press(don’t sweat it if you don’t know your 1 RM, we will help you find a weight that makes sense) followed by recovery pace row, bike, or ski erg.

The point of the flush is to work on recovering (bringing your HR down and flushing out the lactic acid) while still moving as well as just keeping the strength portion moving.

We follow it up with a classic couplet metcon that attacks a gymnastics skill under cardiovascular fatigue with a tight time cap.

So come join us this Saturday for just a taste of some Games training.
