[SLSC Training] Week of 26.05.04 [Corrected]

Published 9 days ago • 4 min read

Hey everyone, sorry for the error but the previous programming email included the previous week's training. See below for the correct programming for this week. Sorry again for the inconvenience!

MONDAY

PERFORMANCE

Warm-Up — 0:00-15:00

Toes to Bar Practice/Repeatability — 15:00-25:00

B. EMOM10

3-8 Toes to Bar

Training notes:

  • Aim for a rep scheme that will allow for consistency across all sets, which means the first 3-4 should feel pretty easy. This EMOM is a baseline for the upcoming weeks that will involve movements that will be paired and interfere with toes to bar.
  • If you have "some" but not many toes to bar, some focus on technique in the 10 minutes can be helpful, along with strength building exercises can be completed during this time.

Murph Prep — 35:00-55:00

C. 20 Minute AMRAP

400 Meter Run

15 Pull Ups

15 Air Squats

200 Meter Run

15 Push Ups

15 Air Squats

Training notes:

  • Besides pull ups, this workout should be pretty high turnover without much rest.
  • Practice good standards with full depth, and lockouts on both air squats and push ups.

Clean-up — 55:00-60:00

FITNESS

B. Take 10 Minutes to Practice Toes to Bar

B. Take 15 Minutes to Complete:

+

3-5 Sets of 6 Touch N Go Push/Power Jerk

Training notes:

  • Work quickly through the sets of push press and build into the sets of push/power jerk.
  • Touch N Go push/power jerk means as the barbell comes down to the shoulders after the previously completed rep, you absorb the weight with bent knees and immediately extend into the next rep.
  • This will suppress overall weight lifted, but allows you to work at a much quicker rate with moderate weights.

If you have "some" but not many toes to bar,...

Soon enough the garage door will pretty much be always open, and in the CrossFit ecosystem that is the natural sign that "Murph" season is coming. Murph is completed on Memorial Day every year across pretty much all CrossFit gyms. It's also CrossFit's most notable workout. Many fitness enthusiasts that do not necessarily do CrossFit still partake in this workout every year. Back in the day, many folks would...
