CrossFit Trivium – CrossFit Daily Focus (No Measure) Today’s primary focus centers around honing our weightlifting skills, specifically concentrating on the Power Snatch. Our training will lead us to handle heavy loads in the Power Snatch, progressively building up to 90% of our capacity. This progression spans 15 reps, starting from 5 repetitions and decreasing to a single rep. Afterward, we’ll adjust the weight down to our working load, which is equivalent to the weight one might use for the benchmark workout “Isabel.” In the subsequent workout, our objective shifts towards achieving efficient and swift barbell conditioning. We aim to execute the Power Snatch reps with a large set of touch-and-go repetitions initially, transitioning to rapid singles as we near completion of the set of 15. Before diving into the workout, it’s essential to invest time in a dedicated coaching barbell primer, refining the technique and ensuring athletes are well-prepared...Read more

CrossFit Trivium – CrossFit Daily Focus (No Measure) Today’s session introduces a challenging battery workout that focuses on the barbell, particularly the Clean and Jerk. Here’s the strategy behind it: Heavy Percentage Work with the Row: We’re combining heavy percentage work with the Rowing machine to create an effective conditioning workout. While this type of workout often appears in the Open, it typically includes more complexity. By pairing it with purely monostructural exercise like rowing, we can place a stronger emphasis on the barbell and minimize interference. This allows us to target barbell conditioning with fewer distractions than if we were to combine it with high-level gymnastics movements. Effective Warm-Up and Primer: Prior to diving into the workout, it’s crucial to spend sufficient time playing with the barbell and priming the system. Athletes should aim to reach at least 80% of their Clean and Jerk one-rep max before beginning the...Read more

CrossFit Trivium – CrossFit Daily Focus (No Measure) Today’s session is all about achieving a well-rounded blend of upper body absolute strength work, high-skill development, muscular stamina, and intensity. Here’s what we’re aiming for: We’re starting with a focus on heavy Bench Press, but there’s a twist. We’ve reduced the overall rest time between sets, departing from the usual practice. This modification is designed to create a unique stimulus, combining the demands of muscular endurance with absolute strength. Chest-to-Bar Pull-Up Practice and Progressions: After the Bench Press, we’ll dedicate time to Chest-to-Bar Pull-Up practice and progression. The goal is to help athletes grasp the mechanics of this movement and gradually build their capacity. As they develop both the skill and muscular stamina, they’ll be able to handle larger sets of Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups. The progression will draw from what we covered in week one and introduce increased intensity and controlled breathing....Read more
