Nine Way to be Stronger in 2014

"Great, another New Year’s Resolution article. Chances are you’ve already spent quite some time under the barbell, so the new year serves more as a time to assess how you’re going to handle the next training year rather than signing up for your first gym membership. If training has been stale lately or you just want to take lifting to the next level, consider these tips."

Road to Regionals 2014

It's officially ten weeks until the Open. This is going to bring us to more Open specific workouts. Pretty much in  the 8-15 minute met con area. There will still be strength workouts, but afterwards will follow metcons based on the 14 movements that appear at every year's Open. These met cons are designed by CrossFit HQ so that the whole world can participate without needing any high end equipment. Knowing this, this is how the Road to Regionals workouts will be programmed.
This week will be a transition/deload week. After this week, there will only be one more deload week, but without sacrificing much volume.
All week you will not pick up a barbell that is loaded more than 60% of your max for that lift. This is a very necessary week for your body to not only recover, but to prepare itself for the next coming weeks. Also, it's Christmas week so it works out quite well.
