CrossFit Trivium – CrossFit Daily Focus (No Measure) The focus today is on the barbell and learning how to develop power, quick turnover and ensuring a quality front rack position every time you receive the barbell. This is important both the Cleans today as well as the Thrusters. For both we would love to see a full hand grip remain on the barbell, but understand that some athletes as we get heavy will need to let that go and move into an open palm position. For the thrusters work harder to keep the full hand on the bar and help athletes learn how to move their elbows into a more vertical position as they come to the top of the Thruster. This means that in the Front Squat we are holding a typical front rack, but as we move more to the Push Press phase at a quarter squat position...Read more

CrossFit Trivium – CrossFit Daily Focus (No Measure) Today, we are starting off with a fun benchmark test to really work on efficiency in the Chest to Bar Pull-Up. This gives us as coaches the time to play and help athletes understand better kipping mechanics for both the traditional kip as well as the butterfly pull-up. The goal here will be to rest as minimally as possible to get all 10 sets of 7 chest to bar pull-ups unbroken in as short a duration as possible. For our higher level competitors we are challenging 10 reps, and we have also place in a strength variation for those that do not want to kip or have shoulder issues. We will then be moving into a high capacity V02 Max style workout with 4:00 minutes on / 4:00 minutes off. The goal here will be to hit each set at near maximum...Read more

CrossFit Trivium – CrossFit Daily Focus (No Measure) For today’s session, we are starting things off in a very similar fashion to how we tackled yesterday and are working our way into a strength piece aimed at developing our absolute strength as well as muscular endurance in the Bench Press. We will again run this on a 6:00 minute clock with the goal of completing each set with time to spare on the 6:00 minutes, then using the full 6:00 minutes on the final round as we complete our 3rd set of waves for the Bench Press. This allows us more time to rest as the weight gets progressively heavier wave to wave. We will then move into a good old fashion classic CrossFit triplet of Handstand Push-Ups, Deadlifts, and Step-Down Box Jumps. The style and focus here is similar to that of many open workouts in the past and...Read more
