CrossFit Carolina Beach – Competitors Training
– Strength: Today we are performing a protocol for muscular hypertrophy performing 3 movements in a row then resting. This is a giant set working the same muscle groups in which people will experience high amounts of lactate production and a pump from hell. All sets should be VERY hard – close to failure. You’ll see similar work to this again next week but with different muscle groups (biceps.) This protocol was made popular by Charles Poliquin – linked article in our Facebook group.
– Metcon: As the name implies we are performing some very challenging work with the sled + loaded carry. This is another workout not to underestimate but people will be working with a partner and able to split as needed. Keep in mind the combination of sled + loaded carry will elicit a huge spike in heart-rate so it’s likely people will need more rest than they planned in the beginning – this will level off though as they adjust. Effort today should be high around 85%, but again the nature of the movements are different so peoples heart-rates will not be on the same level as yesterday – this workout will rely more on the aerobic system vs. anaerobic systems.
