Notes on the Programming
- In September and October we focused on absolute strength by performing the CrossFit Total movements: back squat, standing press, and deadlift. In November and December we emphasized speed strength by doing cleans, jerks, and snatches, then maxing our Olympic Lifting Total.
- In January and February we will prepare for the CrossFit Games Open (starting March 6) by building a base of metabolic conditioning, increasing our neuromuscular efficiency with the Olympic Lifts and their derivatives, and improving the quantity and quality of our gymnastics movements.
- We highly recommend that you register to participate in the Open workouts, even if you have no interest in competition. It is very beneficial to structure your training around a goal, plus you’ll be able to input your scores online and see how you compare to tens of thousands of other CrossFitters.

Did the WOD at 8,200 feet here in Ethiopia… shortness of breath has new meaning.
After a week off it’s soooo good to be back in the gym.And I have a first to report. I put two, only two, dbl unders together today. (Only took me a year, not bad. I’d love to catch a few more before the Open)
