Fine Tuning

Hey Team,

This is the week of the 2021 Open! We've done the homework, now its time to turn it in. This last week of training is all about keeping the system running without stressing it out too much. If your hands are sore or starting to rip, just take it easy on the hanging and look for a sub. If your knee is bugging you a bit on squats, do power movements instead.

It's pretty tough to cram for the exam in CrossFit as all the skills need time to develop. So stay focused on recovering well into Friday-Saturday, refine movements where possible, and keep your body feeling supple and well rested.

This week we'll touch on some intensity in lifting and moving on Mon Tues, get in a bit of strength and energy system work on Wed Thurs but generally de-load the body, then target the Open wod Friday through the weekend.

I'm really looking forward to this team, and it's just the thing to get the juices flowing after a tough calendar year of restrictions and change.

Let's get after it!
