Thursday

This post was taken from yesterday's blog.  It was written by Sarah and based on her training from the beginning of the year … 25 days ago.  After you read it decide if this program works.  If you can still say no, you're not doing it right.

"big day at the box…improved my AMRAP toes to bar max from 8 to 16 and pr'ed my power cleans by 20 lbs (from 75 to 95). I think I finally understand the form of the power clean."

One example of a good "Active Recovery Day" session comes from CrossFit Endurance 

Strength & Conditioning Recovery

This can and should be done the day of races, after T/TT efforts, and/or after intervals as needed.

3 sets with light to medium weight of:

GHD Sit ups, 15 reps (extend knees aggressively)
GHD Hip Extensions, 15 reps
KB/DB Swings, 15 reps
Bench Press, 15 reps
Pull ups, 15 reps

Remember, this is a recovery tool and is not a timed workout.

    good luck dave!
    also, regarding my progress over the past month — I do think the programming has been great and I am a lot stronger as a result. In the interest of full disclosure, though, I also made the switch to paleo (except for my morning coffee) and I think that has also contributed tremendously to improved performance.
    when are we going to have our paleo challenge — that’s the only way i’m ever going to get past my morning coffee habit.

    Sarah,
    OMG! You mean you paired a sound diet with a solid training program and you got results?
    I don’t believe it?
    Our Paleo challenge will kick off on Monday, 6 Feb. The first week day after Diane’s visit/Paleo Seminar.
    Keep up the good work,
    Mike
