Saturday 03 December 2011

5 rounds
Run 800m
50 back extensions
50 sit ups


I have to confess that I have been really struggling coming up with my programming for about a year now. I had some reservations about programming for myself a year and a half ago when I began doing it but at the time it seemed to work for me. This will be my last programmed workout. I have takes a distinct interest in the Olympic lifts  and to be honest, for the first time I have no Idea how to program for this type of workout. I will be following Greg Everett's Performance Menu because find it to be directly in line with my goals.

Don't worry though. There are some great sites that you can follow by people who are much better at programming than I am:

CrossfitFootball.com if your main goal is strength and power.

Performance menu if you want to get strong and explosive while primarily focusing on Olympic lifting.

Crossfitendurance.com to get fit while concentrating on endurance

crossfitnewengland.com probably the best crossfit specific programming on the web today

To be honest this is a big weight off my shoulders. Now I can dedicate my blogging time to health and fitness articles which was the purpose of my blog in the first place
