CrossFit Trivium – CrossFit

Daily Focus (No Measure)

We are starting off today with heavy Thrusters. A note that we are looking for these to be done from the rack for 2 reasons. First off, we pulled from the floor Heavy yesterday, and we have more volume pulling from the floor on Friday. Not to mention we will be working on clean technique as well as barbell cycling Hang Power Cleans tomorrow, so the focus here will be on the strength development of the Squat and Overhead Press development of the Thruster. By going from the rack, we can work on maintaining a better upright position, correct squat mechanics and a vertical drive on the bar into the overhead press.

We will then transition into a challenging triplet of intervals performed on the 2:00 minute mark. Each set is meant to be done as a quick series of movements with minimal breaks and consistency across all sets. Make sure that athletes are choosing movements that will allow them to maintain close to unbroken sets across or at least to the point where they are able to complete each segment in under 35 seconds.

To refine your technique and maintain a higher repetition rate, consider switching to Dumbbell Thrusters or reducing the weight of the barbell. This modification allows you to focus on perfecting your form while still engaging the necessary muscle groups effectively.
