Monday 28th January –> 2nd February 2019 

Week 4 of a 7 week block leading up to the CrossFit Open.

Monday 28th January

STRENGTH:
Overhead squats 8-7-6-5-3 (first 2 sets tempo @21X1)
1 second pause at the bottom of the squat for the first 2 sets. Again, 1 rep more in total then the previous week. Building confidence and working on hitting depth. Work up to a heavy 3.
Aim to increase the weight each set depending on how you feel and your own OH squat mobility. The aim is to get comfortable with the bar positioning overhead and try to hit your depth on each rep. The tempo on first 2 sets will encourage better positioning and technique.

10 Pull ups

Try to be consistent on each round. Move through the work to get as much rest as possible. Score is slowest time over the 5 rounds.
 

 
 

Tuesday 29th

Deadlift 5-5-5-5 (all reps must be tempo @30X1)
Aim to increase from last Tuesday, increasing the weight each set. Make sure to be strict with the tempo, especially controlling the bar down.
3 second controlled eccentric phase on the way down with the bar. Focus on keeping the bar close and posterior muscles engaged throughout.
Log weights lifted to make sure progressing each week.
